Montgomery County Maryland is pleased to announce that its Enterprise Cloud Security Service and Architecture Project was named a Finalist in the 2012 ISE® North America Awards in the Government Project category. The award was presented at the ISE® North America Leadership Summit and Awards 2012 event held on November 7, 2012 in Alexandria, Va.

The 2012 winner was the DoD, Booz Allen Hamilton.
The ISE® North America Award's Project category showcases a wide range of information security projects that were deployed and completed in the last 12-18 months and have had the greatest positive impact within their organization. Judges evaluate projects based on scope, defined goals, ability to execute and overall results achieved for the organization.
"Cyber security threats are increasing at an explosive rate, driving the need to find innovative and cost effective solutions," said Keith Young, Montgomery County's Security Official. "In order to protect Montgomery County from these threats, we are continually evaluating new ways of protecting the County's infrastructure and services. The Enterprise Cloud Security Service and Architecture Project was a multi-year research and development effort, which has already shown significant benefits to the organization. We are proud to be recognized as a Finalist in the 2012 ISE® North America Government Project Award."
"The security of our data and infrastructure is critical in this interconnected world," said Tim Firestine, Montgomery County's Chief Administrative Officer. "It is heartening to be recognized for our continued efforts to be secure."

We are redesigning this site. You can find a link to our policy on the fire service here: http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Topics/Justice/policies/police-fire-rescue/fire
The overarching purpose of the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) is to work in partnership with communities and with others in the public, private and third sectors, on prevention, protection and response, to improve the safety and wellbeing of people throughout Scotland.
The Scottish Government's vision for the SFRS is the achievement of better outcomes for the people and communities throughout Scotland, leading to improved safety and wellbeing, but also reflecting ways of operating in the 21st century. It reflects the excellent work it carries out in supporting and promoting community safety and wellbeing, through, for example, community safety initiatives and partnership working with health, education, and local authorities focused on prevention and early intervention, in order to improve outcomes.
The key aims of the new SFRS are to:
The new SFRS took on its full range of functions on 1 April 2013.
Her Majestys Fire Service Inspectorate (HMFSI) have today launched their Service Overview Inspection Report which looks at the progress the Scottish Fire service has made eight months on from the reorganisation from eight services into one. The full Press Release and the Service Overview Inspection Report can be viewed by following the links.
The Scottish Government has published The Fire and Rescue Wildfire Operational Guidance.
This guidance has been produced to give Fire and Rescue Service personnel across the UK an additional understanding and awareness of the phenomenon of wildfire. It examines the hazards, risks and controls relating to Fire and Rescue personnel, the personnel of other agencies and members of the public at incidents of wildfire. It also provides a point of reference for those who may be called upon to plan for wildfire events and for those incident commanders and personnel responding to such incidents.
The Fire and Rescue Service Statistics 2012-13 were published today. This is the last time this publication will have the 8 separate FRSs areas and includes information on fire safety, stations, equipment, home fire safety visits and attacks on Fire and Rescue Service personnel at incidents.

African Beauty Crowned Miss Universe 2011
Last night was the 60th Annual Miss universe Pageant in São Paulo, Brazil, and out of almost 90 contestants from countries and territories worldwide, Miss Angola's Leila Lopes took the crown. The stunning 25-year-old beauty is the first winner from her country, and the first African winner in thirteen years.
Although she obviously has the looks to stun the judges, it was her interview questions that reportedly tugged at their hearts. When asked what physical trait she would change and why, she responded:
"Thank God I'm very satisfied with the way God created me and I wouldn't change a thing. I consider myself a woman endowed with inner beauty. I have acquired many wonderful principles from my family and I intend to follow these for the rest of my life."
She is gorgeous!

First..let me just say that I like Jacoby Ellsbury. I have been a fan since seeing him in his Lowell Spinners days.
That being said..the stat I read earlier today simply blew my mind. Ellsbury missed 44 % of Red Sox games since 2010. 44%...!!!
Jacoby has been listed as day to day by Red Sox management due to groin tightness. My first reaction to this is no big deal...until I remember that RS management is notorious for underestimating injuries and blowing sunshine at the fans in order to maintain ticket sales. So..when RS management says that Jacoby as "groin tightness"..that could mean anything from simply groin tightness to a more serious groin strain...in which he could be out of commission for weeks. There's just no telling with management.
Jacoby is very talented..of that there is no doubt...but he is also somewhat delicate and injury prone. I appreciate his talent when he is on the field..but the fact that he is practically a part time player should definitely play a role in any contract negotiations the Sox have with him.

I recently got a call from my tax adviser, who told me that someone had stolen my Social Security number (or my wife's) to file a fraudulent tax return. I suddenly was thrust into the zone of being a victim — the very stuff I warn about in this blog. I was bamboozled.
Although I don't have all the facts yet, here's what we think happened:
* Someone stole my Social Security number (SSN) or that of my wife's, then filed a fake tax return with the IRS.
* When I filed my real return electronically about a month ago, the IRS said that it already received a return from someone using our SSNs. So it wouldn't take our legitimate returns.
* Our SSNs were probably purloined from a third-party. Years ago, my wife went through a background check to do volunteer work at our church. Whoever the third party was, we don't know, but some hackers stole the numbers from their database and used it to file fake returns to scam the IRS out of a refund.
This was how the scam worked — and continues to work — and we're hardly alone. The IRS estimates it will pay out some $21 billion in bogus refunds based on fake returns from 2012 through 2017.
What can (we) you do? Here's what my tax guy, enrolled agent Joe Anthony recommends:
* File a paper return. This, of course, is a real hassle, because the whole idea of filing an electronic return was to avoid mailing dozens of sheets of paper. We'll also need to file Form 14039, the "Identity Theft Affadavit." Hopefully the IRS will catch the crooks and prosecute, but I'm not confident they will catch up with the brigands.
* Obtain a personal identification number for next year's filing. This is an added level of security that will help ensure that the IRS knows that we are the only ones submitting a legitimate return.
* Check credit records. I did this within an hour of receiving the call from my tax guy. I searched Annualcreditreport.com for any new applications for credit that I didn't authorize. That's the red flag for people trying to hack my sources of credit.
With this service, you get one free credit check per year. Don't go to other sites with similar names. This site is truly free, but the three major credit reporting agencies will charge you for your credit score, which summarizes your creditworthiness. While you're at it, check all of your lines of credit to see if they are up to date and accurate. You can fix any errors for free.
* Be very careful with your Social Security number. Do not give it out to any agency or company you haven't verified is legitimate. Even still, hackers and thieves are working 24/7 to get these numbers to steal valuable account information. Always look to see if eCommerce sites you're using are encrypted. Don't give your SSN to unknown people on the phone or through un-verified emails.
As this is the third time I've been the victim of identity theft, I can assure you that it won't be the last. The best thing you can do is to safeguard your information as much as possible and keep an eye on your credit accounts and check your record once a year — sooner if you see mysterious charges appear.

REAR ENTRIES: Fast And Furious
June 04, 2009 at 01:10am by Scott • 6 Comments »
It's late and I'm tired and grouchy, but there were actually a few interesting Bucs-related stories today, so I'm basically going to give it to you short and to the point and then leave. Like sex, except you might remember this for a few minutes after I'm done. And I can't steal money out of your purse this way.
PITTMAN LOOKING FOR WORK: Drew Rosenhaus contacted the Bucs about maybe signing Michael Pittman to help with the fullback depth after Byron Storer got shoved onto IR. Jameel Cook is the backup fullback and a great special teams player, but Pittman is a more versatile player who could also provide a little depth at halfback, which isn't really a Cook thing. If the Bucs had even nibbled, Rosenhaus would have been crowing about it like the cock he is, so I don't think anything is going to come of it, but it would be nice to see Pittman, who was an excellent teammate while in Tampa, retire a Buc.
HOVAN GETTING MORE HAIR, WEIGHT: Chris Hovan is bulking up to a target weight of 310 to fit better into Jim Bates's scheme. He's also growing his hair like he did in Minnesota. But the thing about this article that pisses me off most?
"I'm never going to be a guy that carries 330 pounds," Hovan said Wednesday following the Bucs most recent "voluntary" workout. "But I can hold 305 pounds or 310 pounds and hold it well, and that's what I'm trying to get to."
The scarequotes around voluntary. I expect that kind of hack shit from Florio, but even though I almost never agree with Cummings, I never thought he'd resort to passive-aggressive bullshit like that. You wait, Cummings is on his way to being a regular contributor to Deadspin next.
LYNCH TO CALL BUCS GAMES: John Lynch will provide color to the Bucs' preseason games this year alongside Chris Myers, who will provide play-by-play.
Okay, I'm done. I'll try to keep something going on here and/or Twitter for the next couple days. And thanks to Joe who wrote the story about Arron Sears even though it was heartless and unfeeling towards one of my beloved Volunteers. The guy's brain may be tapioca, but he's worried about who's going to play left guard. If this site is about anything, it's compassion and caring. Toward Volunteers. All others can get fucked.
Behind Mahan? Hell, I don't know, maybe my ex-girlfriend, if she's lost a few pounds.
If she really needs to drop a size or two, all you have to do is open the stopper on her foot and let a few pounds of pressure out. Was yours named Sally, too? Why are they all named Sally?
6 Comments to "REAR ENTRIES: Fast And Furious"
Matt Price (June 04, 2009 at 10:26am) :
Sally? Is that a Police reference? Very nice.
Louie (June 04, 2009 at 11:02am) :
Joe's inflatable girlfriend…LMAO!!!
Cummings is another one of those Tribune hacks. I wish these guys could just objectively report the damn news. The OTA's are volunatary, but due to the coaching turnover, it's in the player's best interest to be there to learn the new system. It's like any other job — if you need to learn a new skill (system), you better learn it or risk being replaced. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if some players are cut simply because they don't perform as well as those who attended these OTA's. Nobody seems to be reporting on this viewpoint.
wordy_sanchez (June 04, 2009 at 02:03pm) :
Cummings… this would be the guy who doesn't even bother w/ the scarequotes around "bust" when he talks about Gaines Adams.
Slow Joe (June 04, 2009 at 02:41pm) :
Actually, I'd change her name from Dominating Diana to Submissive Sally, depending on my mood.
I'm thinking of getting rid of her entirely and finally moving on to having an adult sex life. That's right: I think I'll get a realdoll.
LostInSeattle (June 05, 2009 at 04:08am) :
Hovan is bulking up to stop the run, but one of our main problems last year was getting pressure on the opponents QB. Our sack totals took a nosedive badly and we need some movement up front.
wordy_sanchez (June 05, 2009 at 11:59am) :
Hey Lost, I'm marooned in Seattle too (from Orlando), good to see you here. WRT, Hovan and DTs… Bates doesn't tend to use DTs to pressure QB. He has a traditional approach of plugging the middle and using his ends with some LB (and possibly CB blitzes). It was Monte's thing to make DTs big sack guys (ahem). S'why Sapp stands out, cause for a while there his sack totals where up there w/ speed rushing DEs which was considered an amazing feat.

07.12.2007 Viewing platform and restaurant in the TV Tower are closed
Viewing platform and restaurant in the TV Tower are closed07.12.2007
The viewing platform and Galaxy restaurant were closed to visitors from November 26. The reason for closure is that the emergency exits did not meet current safety regulations.
The viewing platform on the 21st floor and the restaurant were closed due to an injunction from the Northern Estonia Rescue Service. The Rescue Service deemed the current emergency exit to be insufficient for the rapid evacuation of people in the event of fire. The injunction does not apply to the basic functions of the TV Tower – broadcasting television and radio signals. The owner and administrator of the tower, AS Levira, will continue operations on the lower floors, and maintenance and upkeep of the antennas on the upper part of the tower are not hindered. The conference rooms on the second floor will also remain in use.
The TV Tower has two elevators and a staircase 66 cm wide, which met the fire safety requirements when the tower was built in the late 1970s. Today, regulations require buildings as tall as the TV Tower to have two emergency exits. The additional stairway must be at least 120 cm wide, but the TV Tower does not have enough room even to widen the existing stairs. The elevators, elevator shafts, the entire 20th to 22nd floors and the current emergency exits will all have to be rebuilt to meet safety regulations. In order to solve this extremely complicated technical problem, the building administrator has consulted with state and city institutions. According to initial estimates, it would take at least a few years to rebuild the tower, from deciding on a satisfactory plan until completion, and it would cost 80 million kroons. In any case, the TV Tower will not be reopened until all safety regulations are met.
The TV Tower was built in 1980, before the Moscow Olympics sailing regatta, designed by architect David Basiladze. The tower is 314 meters tall: the 190-meter tower body, made of reinforced concrete, topped by a 124-meter steel mast. The viewing platform and restaurant are 170 meters high. Considering the building norms of the time, the tower has remained in fairly good order, and no accidents have occurred there.
The TV Tower's viewing platform has been a very popular sight among tourists, receiving 40-50 thousand visits per year. Among Tallinn Card users, the TV Tower was in second place after the Tallinn City Tour hop-on hop-off bus tour, with 3707 visits from January through October 2007. City Tour will keep its TV Tower stop on the green line.

SoCal Edison Gets PUC OK for Solar Transmission Project
By: SGN Staff
After winning approval from the California Public Utility Commission (CPUC), Southern California Edison (SCE) is a step closer to building a 170-mile, $537 million transmission system to send solar and possibly other renewable energy from Riverside County to the southern part of the state.
The new line, called Devers Palo Verde2, would be capable of delivering an additional 1.2GW of electricity to Southern California.
An earlier version of the plan called for additional transmission lines into Arizona, but that state's regulators said they didn't want Arizona to become a power supplier for its heavily populated neighbor.
While certainly good news for SCE, the utility isn't quite done with the approval process. The proposed project still needs another stamp of approval from the California Independent System Operator (CISO), which oversees and manages the state's power grid. An SCE representative said a date for that agency to review the proposal has not yet been established.
While a primary goal of the Smart Grid and national energy policy is to add new renewable energy resources to the electric grid, obstacles include a lack of transmission capacity to handle the additional power, and the need to build more lines to send power from the often remote locations where power is produced to the cities that need it.
SCE has said that its project would help relieve existing transmission congestion in the region to accommodate the additional input from renewable power sources.
Specifically, the proposal calls for construction of a 128-mile 500kV line from SCE's Devers substation which is close to Palm Springs to a switchyard near Blythe, and a 42-mile line from the Devers substation to the utility's Valley substation in Riverside County.
If SCE gets final approval from the CISO, the utility expects to complete the transmission project in 2013.
Earlier this year, SCE and First Solar, Inc. released their plans to build two photovoltaic solar power operations in Riverside and San Bernardino counties.

Marc Morano: Courting Mendacity
A few days ago LGF and I got into a bit of a squabble with renowned climate change denier Marc Morano over an error I made concerning his "debate" with Bill Nye. I wrote that he used a talking point often trotted out by the denialists (and found on Morano's site in several places), during that debate. He didn't say it. At least during the debate.
He does, however, use that particular talking point on his fount of misinformation, ClimateDepot.com, here and here.
Although Morano did not use that talking point in this "debate," and complained bitterly about my claim that he had, (no doubt to direct attention away from the substance of my post) he did throw out quite a few other howlers.Youtube Video

Main Street Needs a Hand
Tracy Emblem: Some say government should not be in the business of creating jobs. They are wrong. The government is the custodian of the public land and buildings. All improvements thereto benefit the people. President Roosevelt put people to work improving the public lands with roads and structures when the U.S. had 25-percent unemployment. In 2008, economists warned the government that we could suffer that again if we did not bail out Wall Street. Well, now, Main Street needs a hand.

After all, we started the war that produced its first recipients.
Medal of Honor: By the numbers

"We always tie the award to Charleston since the Civil War started in Charleston and the award was first presented in the Civil War," said Maj. Gen. James Everett Livingston, the area's only recipient of the nation's highest military honor.
Today the Medal of Honor is 150 years old.
On March 25, 1863, the first medals were presented to Jacob Parrott and five other men for their actions in "The Great Locomotive Chase" — a military raid in North Georgia in April 1862.
Since then, nearly 3,500 people have received the medal, 80 of whom are still alive.
Livingston, 73, is a retired Marine Corps general who received the Medal of Honor for heroic actions in 1968 during the Vietnam War. President Richard Nixon presented him with the award on May 14, 1970.
Livingston retired from active duty after 33 years in September 1995 and he and his wife, Sara, moved to Mount Pleasant in 2005.
Last week, he attended the New York Stock Exchange Closing Bell and Circle of Honor Gala, a fundraiser for the Medal of Honor Foundation of which he's a member. He is not attending the National Medal of Honor Day ceremony today at Arlington National Cemetery. There, other Medal of Honor recipients will lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns in honor of all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country.
Livingston, who served as chairman of the Board of Trustees for the National World War II Museum in New Orleans, is now involved in the Medal of Honor Museum Foundation, a more than $100 million project at the Patriots Point Naval and Maritime Museum in Mount Pleasant.
"We are currently in the final negotiations with the Patriots Point Authority trying to tie down the land where the museum will be located," he said. "Also, a piece of land has been identified where we will develop the hotels, conference centers, and restaurants to make it a total destination."
The museum will include a uniform collection, a large format theater with multiple video screens, a Great Hall honoring Medal of Honor recipients and an interactive gallery.
Plans for the museum have been in the works for a couple of years, with the idea that it would replace a smaller one aboard the Yorktown.

Xavier Closes Out Season With 5-4 Walk-Off Win
It was a walk-off win for the Musketeers in the 2012 season finale as they defeated Saint Joseph's 5-4 in the bottom of the ninth. With the win, Xavier closed out the season with an even 28-28 record and a 13-11 in the Atlantic 10.
Last Week...
Xavier took two of three from Rhode Island in XU's weekend series. The Musketeers won the first two games, 2-0 and 1-0, using a ninth-inning walk-off hit from Stephen Schoettmer in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader. XU fell, 6-2, in the 13th inning of the second game on Saturday.
Back-To-Back Shutouts
The Musketeers registered consecutive shutouts against Rhode Island, winning 2-0 on Friday and 1-0 in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader. This is the first time since March 30-31, 2007, a span of over six years, that XU registered consecutive shutouts. Xavier won at Saint Louis, 11-0 and 3-0, in the first two games of that series in `07.
Richard Named Co-Pitcher of the Week
Jon Richard claimed one of the shutouts for Xavier by himself on Friday night. The senior hurler went all nine innings and three-hit the Rams. His efforts earned him Atlantic 10 Co-Pitcher of the Week accolades.
Last Meeting - Saint Joseph's
A 5-4 walk-off victory provided Xavier with the series win in the final series of the 2012 season. XU won the opening game, 7-3, but fell in the second contest, 5-1.
