Ex-Agent: CIA Seed Money Helped Launch Google
Steele goes further than before in detailing ties, names Google's CIA liaison

Wednesday, December 6, 2006
An ex-CIA agent has gone further than ever before in detailing Google's relationship with the Central Intelligence Agency, claiming sources told him that CIA seed money helped get the company off the ground and naming for the first time Google's CIA point man.
Robert David Steele, a 20-year Marine Corps infantry and intelligence officer and a former clandestine services case officer with the Central Intelligence Agency, is the CEO of OSS.net .
Speaking to the Alex Jones Show, Steele elaborated on his previous revelations by making it known that the CIA helped bankroll Google at its very inception.
"I think Google took money from the CIA when it was poor and it was starting up and unfortunately our system right now floods money into spying and other illegal and largely unethical activities, and it doesn't fund what I call the open source world," said Steele, citing "trusted individuals" as his sources for the claim.
"They've been together for quite a while," added Steele.
Asked to impart to what level Google is "in bed" with the CIA, Steele described the bond as a "small but significant relationship," adding, "it is by no means dominating Google in fact Google has been embarrassed because everything the CIA asked it to do they couldn't do."
"I also think it's very very wrong of Google to have this relationship," cautioned Steele.
The former agent went further than before in identifying by name Google's liaison at the CIA.
"Let me say very explicitly - their contact at the CIA is named Dr. Rick Steinheiser, he's in the Office of Research and Development," said Steele.

You want to put up Alex Jones as a source?
Alex Jones and his output represent the greatest collection of conspiracy theorist paranoia and ridiculousness available.
He's not reliable - at all - as a source of information.

CIA enlists Google's help for spy work
US intelligence agencies are using Google's technology to help its agents share information about their suspects
Jonathan Richards
Google has been recruited by US intelligence agencies to help them better process and share information they gather about suspects.
Agencies such as the National Security Agency have bought servers on which Google-supplied search technology is used to process information gathered by networks of spies around the world.
Google is also providing the search features for a Wikipedia-style site, called Intellipedia, on which agents post information about their targets that can be accessed and appended by colleagues, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
The contracts are just a number that have been entered into by Google's 'federal government sales team', that aims to expand the company's reach beyond its core consumer and enterprise operations.

In the most innovative service, for which Google equipment provides the core search technology, agents are encouraged to post intelligence information on a secure forum, which other spies are free to read, edit, and tag - like the online encyclopedia Wikipedia.
Depending on their clearance, agents can log on to Intellipedia and gain access to three levels of info - top secret, secret and sensitive, and sensitive but unclassified. So far 37,000 users have established accounts on the service, and the database now extends to 35,000 articles, according to Sean Dennehy, chief of Intellipedia development for the CIA.
"Each analyst, for lack of a better term, has a shoe box with their knowledge," Mr Dennehy was quoted as saying. "They maintained it in a shared drive or Word document, but we're encouraging them to move those platforms so that everyone can benefit."
The collection of articles is hosted by the director of national intelligence, Mike McConnell, and is available only to the CIA, the FBI, the National Security Agency, and other intelligence agencies.
Google's search technology usually rates a website's importance by measuring the number of other sites that link to it - a method that is more problematic in a 'closed' network used by a limited numbr of people. In the case of Intellipedia, pages become more prominent depending on how they are tagged or added to by other contributors.
As well as working with the intelligence agencies, Google also provides services to other US public sector organisations, including the Coast Guard, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration.
Often, the contract is for something as simple as conducting earch within an organisation's own database, but in the case of the Coast Guard, Google also provides a more advanced version of its satellite mapping tool Google Earth, which ships use to navigate more safely.
There is no dedicated team promoting sales of Google products to the British Government, but a Google spokesperson said the company did target public sector organisations such as councils, schools and universities through the team that run AdWords, its internet advertising platform.

Google's Deep CIA Connections
By Eric Sommer
The western media is currently full of articles on Google's 'threat to quit China' over internet censorship issues, and the company's 'suspicion' that the Chinese government was behind attempts to 'break-in' to several Google email accounts used by 'Chinese dissidents'.
However, the media has almost completely failed to report that Google's surface concern over 'human rights' in China is belied by its their deep involvement with some of the worst human rights abuses on the planet:
Google is, in fact, is a key participant in U.S. military and CIA intelligence operations involving torture; subversion of foreign governments; illegal wars of aggression; and military occupations of countries which have never attacked the U.S. and which have cost hundreds of thousands of lives in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, and elsewhere.
To begin with, Google is the supplier of the core search technology for 'Intellipedia, a highly-secured online system where 37,000 U.S. spies and related personnel share information and collaborate on their devious errands.
Agencies such as the so-called 'National Security Agency' have also purchased servers using Google-supplied search technology which processes information gathered by U.S. spies operating all over the planet.
In addition, Google is linked to the U.S. spy and military systems through its Google Earth software venture. The technology behind this software was originally developed by Keyhole Inc., a company funded by Q-Tel http://www.iqt.org/ , a venture capital firm which is in turn openly funded and operated on behalf of the CIA.
Google acquired Keyhole Inc. in 2004. The same base technology is currently employed by U.S. military and intelligence systems in their quest, in their own words, for "full-spectrum dominance" of the planet.
Moreover, Googles' connection with the CIA and its venture capital firm extends to sharing at least one key member of personnel. In 2004, the Director of Technology Assessment at In-Q-Tel, Rob Painter, moved from his old job directly serving the CIA to become 'Senior Federal Manager' at Google.
As Robert Steele, a former CIA case officer has put it: Google is "in bed with" the CIA.
Googles Friends spy on millions of Internet Users
Given Google's supposed concern with 'break-in's to several of its email accounts, it's worth noting that Google's friends at In-Q-Tel, the investment arm of the CIA, are now investing in Visible Technologies, a software firm specialized in 'monitoring social media'.
The 'Visible' technology can automatically examine more than a million discussions and posts on blogs, online forums, Flickr, YouTube, Twitter, Amazon, and so forth each day. The technology also 'scores' each online item, assigning it a positive, negative or mixed or neutral status, based on parameters and terms set by the technology operators. The information, thus boiled down, can then be more effectively scanned and read by human operators.
The CIA venture capitalists at In-Q-Tel say they will use the technology to monitor social media operating in other countries and give U.S. spies early-warning detection on how issues are playing internationally, according to spokesperson Donald Tighe. There is every possibility that the technology can also be used by the U.S. intelligence operatives to spy on domestic social movements and individuals inside the U.S.
Finally, there is a curious absence from the statements emanating from Google - and from U.S. media reports - of any substantive evidence linking the Chinese government with the alleged break-in attempts to several Google email accounts.
Words like 'sophisticated' and 'suspicion' have appeared in the media to suggest that the Chinese government is responsible for the break-ins. That may be so. But it is striking that the media has seemingly asked no questions as to what the evidence behind the 'suspicions' might be.

Is Google Evil?
Internet privacy? Google already knows more about you than the National Security Agency ever will. And don?t assume for a minute it can keep a secret. YouTube fans -- and everybody else -- beware.
By Adam L. Penenberg
Tue Oct. 10, 2006 12:00 AM PDT
Google Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the two former Stanford geeks who founded the company that has become synonymous with Internet searching, and youll find more than a million entries each. But amid the inevitable dump of press clippings, corporate bios, and conference appearances, theres very little about Pages and Brins personal lives; its as if the pair had known all along that Google would change the way we acquire information, and had carefully insulated their livesputting their homes under other peoples names, choosing unlisted numbers, abstaining from posting anything personal on web pages.
That obsession with privacy may explain Googles puzzling reaction last year, when Elinor Mills, a reporter with the tech news service cnet, ran a search on Google CEO Eric Schmidt and published the results: Schmidt lived with his wife in Atherton, California, was worth about $1.5 billion, had dumped about $140 million in Google shares that year, was an amateur pilot, and had been to the Burning Man festival. Google threw a fit, claimed that the information was a security threat, and announced it was blacklisting cnets reporters for a year.(The company eventually backed down.) It was a peculiar response, especially given that the information Mills published was far less intimate than the details easily found online on every one of us. But then, this is something of a pattern with Google: When it comes to information, it knows whats best.
From the start, Googles informal motto has been Dont Be Evil, and the company earned cred early on by going toe-to-toe with Microsoft over desktop software and other issues. But make no mistake. Faced with doing the right thing or doing what is in its best interests, Google has almost always chosen expediency. In 2002, it removed links to an anti-Scientology site after the Church of Scientology claimed copyright infringement. Scores of website operators have complained that Google pulls ads if it discovers words on a page that it apparently has flagged, although it will not say what those words are. In September, Google handed over the records of some users of its social-networking service, Orkut, to the Brazilian government, which was investigating alleged racist, homophobic, and pornographic content.
Googles stated mission may be to provide unbiased, accurate, and free access to information, but that didnt stop it from censoring its Chinese search engine to gain access to a lucrative market (prompting Bill Gates to crack that perhaps the motto should be Do Less Evil). Now that the company is publicly traded, it has a legal responsibility to its shareholders and bottom line that overrides any higher calling.
So the question is not whether Google will always do the right thingit hasnt, and it wont. Its whether Google, with its insatiable thirst for your personal data, has become the greatest threat to privacy ever known, a vast informational honey pot that attracts hackers, crackers, online thieves, andperhaps most worrisome of alla government intent on finding convenient ways to spy on its own citizenry.
#10 Mar 23, 2010
It doesnt take a conspiracy theorist to worry about such a threat.I always thought it was fertile ground for the government to snoop, CEO Schmidt told a search engine conference in San Jose, California, in August. While Google earned praise from civil libertarians earlier this year when it resisted a Justice Department subpoena for millions of search queries in connection with a child pornography case, dont expect it will stand up to the government every time: On its website, Google asserts that it does comply with valid legal process, such as search warrants, court orders, or subpoenas seeking personal information.
Whats at stake? Over the years, Google has collected a staggering amount of data, and the company cheerfully admits that in nine years of operation, it has never knowingly erased a single search query. Its the biggest data pack rat west of the NSA, and for good reason: 99 percent of its revenue comes from selling ads that are specifically targeted to a users interests.Googles entire value proposition is to figure out what people want, says Eric Goldman, a professor at Silicon Valleys Santa Clara School of Law and director of the High Tech Law Institute.But to read our minds, they need to know a lot about us.
Every search engine gathers information about its usersprimarily by sending us cookies, or text files that track our online movements. Most cookies expire within a few months or years. Googles, though, dont expire until 2038. Until then, when you use the companys search engine or visit any of myriad affiliated sites, it will record what you search for and when, which links you click on, which ads you access. Googles cookies cant identify you by name, but they log your computers IP address; by way of metaphor, Google doesnt have your drivers license number, but it knows the license plate number of the car you are driving. And search queries are windows into our souls, as 658,000 AOL users learned when their search profiles were mistakenly posted on the Internet: Would user 1997374 have searched for information on better erections or cunnilingus if hed known that AOL was recording every keystroke? Would user 22155378 have keyed in marijuana detox over and over knowing someone could play it all back for the world to see? If youve ever been seized by a morbid curiosity after a night of hard drinking, a search engine knowsand chances are its Google, which owns roughly half of the entire search market and processes more than 3 billion queries a month.
#11 Mar 23, 2010
And Google knows far more than that. If you are a Gmail user, Google stashes copies of every email you send and receive. If you use any of its other productsGoogle Maps, Froogle, Google Book Search, Google Earth, Google Scholar, Talk, Images, Video, and Newsit will keep track of which directions you seek, which products you shop for, which phrases you research in a book, which satellite photos and news stories you view, and on and on. Served up à la carte, this is probably no big deal. Many websites stow snippets of your data. The problem is that theres nothing to prevent Google from combining all of this information to create detailed dossiers on its customers, something the company admits is possible in principle. Soon Google may even be able to keep track of users in the real world: Its latest move is into free wifi, which will require it to know your whereabouts (i.e., which router you are closest to).
Google insists that it uses individual data only to provide targeted advertising. But history shows that information seldom remains limited to the purpose for which it was collected. Accordingly, some privacy advocates suggest that Google and other search companies should stop hoarding user queries altogether: Internet searches, argues Lillie Coney of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, are part of your protected personal space just like your physical home. In February, Rep. Edward Markey (D-Mass.) introduced legislation to this effect, but Republicans have kept it stalled in committee. Google, which only recently retained a lobbying firm in Washington, is among the tech companies fighting the measure.
When I first contacted Google for this story, a company publicist insisted I provide a list of detailed questions, in writing; when I said that I had a problem with a source dictating the terms for an interview, he claimed that everyone who covers Googleincluding the New York Times and the Wall Street Journalsubmits advance questions.(A Times spokeswoman told me the paper sees no ethical problems with such a procedure, though individual reporters decisions may vary; an editor in charge of editorial standards at the Journal said the same thing.) The Google flack assured me that this was so he could find the best person for me to talk tomore information for Google, so that Google could better serve me.
Eventually he agreed to put me in touch, sans scripted questions, with Nicole Wong, Googles associate corporate counsel. I asked her if the company had ever been subpoenaed for user records, and whether it had complied. She said yes, but wouldnt comment on how many times. Googles website says that as a matter of policy the company does not publicly discuss the nature, number or specifics of law enforcement requests.
So can you trust Google only as far as you can trust the Bush administration?I dont know, Wong replied.Ive never been asked that question before.

True enough - but at least it will eventually educate more and more people about the value of information, and (hopefully) to be discerning about how they consume it.
In the end the benefit will be worth it - but for now some are facing a steep learning curve.

well my friend, first you commit the fallacy of 'poisoning the well'--X must be wrong because X is usually wrong. this leads to self-censorship in that you will only savor information from 'reliable sources'--whatever that means. this is because you are either too lazy or not confident enough in your own ability to reason to sift through all information and come to your own conclusions. you then open yourself to what is called 'tyranny of the majority,' which is not even rooted in the indoctrination coming from the government but instead it's the popular opinion of whatever community you find fashionable and tolerable.

It's Alex Jones.
He consistently lies, and misrepresents situations to conform to his own preconceptions. His tone is hysterical and sensationalist and his logic utterly flawed.
I've seen enough of his programming and read enough of his output to come the conclusion he's not worth my time.
He should be free to offer his ideas - and people should be free to listen - but no-one with any sense will believe it.

From a story by Stephen King, "Big Driver" marks the first collaboration between Lifetime and King. This dark story of a young novelist hell-bent on revenge after falling victim to a brutal crime stars Golden Globe nominee Maria Bello ("A History of Violence," "McFarland"), Academy Award winner Olympia Dukakis ("Sex & Violence," "Steel Magnolias"), Grammy nominee Joan Jett, film and television veteran Ann Dowd ("The Leftovers," "Masters of Sex") and Will Harris ("NCIS," "Sky High").
In "Big Driver," Tess Thorne (Bello), a famous and revered mystery and thriller writer, faces a long drive home following a book-signing engagement. But while driving on a lonely stretch of New England road, her tire blows out, leaving her stranded. Relieved when another driver stops and offers assistance, Tess quickly discovers her savior is actually her assailant, a serial killer who repeatedly assaults her. Left for dead in a drainage pipe to rot with the bodies of his other victims, Tess escapes and makes her way safely home. With her fragile mind beginning to unravel, she is determined to find her rapist and seek revenge, as payback is the only thing holding her together.
Best-selling author Stephen King has penned more than 50 novels and hundreds of short stories, many of which have been adapted into feature films, including Frank Darabont's Academy Award-nominated "The Shawshank Redemption" with Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins; the Stanley Kubrick classic, "The Shining," with Jack Nicholson; and "Stand by Me," directed by Rob Reiner starring River Phoenix, Kiefer Sutherland, Jerry O'Connell, Corey Feldman and Wil Wheaton. Other works based on his stories include the television series "Under the Dome," as well as numerous top-selling comic books, including "The Stand and The Dark Tower" series. His novels have sold more than 350 million copies worldwide and have received a multitude of awards, including The Bram Stoker Award, Los Angeles Times Book Prize, National Book Award, National Magazine Award and World Fantasy Award.

OKC Thunder still has work to do
At the end of the night, after the Thunder had finished off the Sacramento Kings, officially securing the top spot in the Western Conference and its first 60-win season, the reaction inside Oklahoma City's locker room Monday evening couldn't have been more bland.
There was no bottle-popping, or bubbly pouring, or even blaring music playing.
Players just dressed and departed.
"Nobody even mentioned it," said Russell Westbrook. "We don't play for that. We play to win, but obviously we've got bigger things to worry about."
That understanding has been the backbone of the best season of basketball in Oklahoma City's brief NBA history.
"I think it's just becoming more mature, becoming older," Westbrook said.
No matter what happens in Wednesday's regular-season finale against Milwaukee, the Thunder will finish the year with a better winning percentage than it did a year ago. It will mark the fourth straight season that OKC has finished with a higher winning percentage than the previous year.
In the inaugural 2008-09 season, the Thunder finished with a .280 winning percentage. That was followed by a .610 winning percentage, a .671 clip in 2010-11 and a .712 winning percentage last season.
With a win against the Bucks, the Thunder can finish with a .744 winning percentage. A loss would land the Thunder at .732.
"I think our mindset's been good," said Nick Collison. "I think we've shown some growth in how we approach games."
Growth has been the theme of this season.
Individually and collectively, the Thunder has improved on so many fronts that the team has seamlessly stayed afloat as a championship contender despite a roster shake-up that saw James Harden get traded to Houston five days before the start of the regular season.
The Thunder's mantra throughout this journey has been "just come to work every day." It's a workmanlike mentality the team says is the reason for its success.
"We're careful to not look too far ahead or look behind us," Collison said. "We're careful to try to focus on what we're doing today. I think that's why we've been more consistent this year."
That's the thing Thunder coach Scott Brooks said he's most proud of in what's been a special season.
"Our consistency of just staying focused during an NBA season, which is hard," Brooks said. "There are so many times that you can get distracted. There's so many times that you can get sideways. But we've always stayed together. We've always focused on us. But just that consistent approach is hard to do. But I'm proud that we've done it."
Along the way, we've seen marked development, from Kevin Durant on down the line. All of it is expected to enable the Thunder to make another deep playoff run.
Durant has become as efficient as ever and created more scoring chances for teammates. He's also become a better and more vocal leader.
Westbrook has picked up the slack left by Harden as a playmaker and blossomed into as much of a focal point for opponents as Durant with his fearlessness and fervent hustle.
Thabo Sefolosha has solidified his 3-point shot, and his best season from behind the arc has been a huge boost to the team's historically average perimeter shooting.
Serge Ibaka has expanded his offensive repertoire, Reggie Jackson has grown confident as a ballhandler and finisher at the rim and Kendrick Perkins has supplied critical low-post defense all season.
And you can't ignore Kevin Martin. The team's most unassuming player has been unsung all season but one of the Thunder's biggest factors in the franchise moving forward. Martin, after averaging at least 20 points as a go-to guy for five of the past six seasons, willingly accepted a lesser role all year for the greater good. He averaged just 10.1 shots and 14 points, the lowest totals since his second season.
"You've got to give credit to Kevin Martin, the way he blended with the team and has been playing for us since Day One," said Sefolosha. "And the rest of the guys, everybody has been doing a conscious effort of keep improving for the better of the team."
The conference's best record and the first 60-win season that Oklahoma City has ever seen has been the result.
It's all worthy of celebrating, even if the Thunder cannot.
"I mean, that's tough to do," Westbrook said. "So you've got to be proud of that."
A look at the Thunder's year-by-year improvement since the inaugural 2008-09 season.

Toasted Oatmeal Bread Recipe
I entered this special bread recipe in our state fair, and it won a blue ribbon. It's been a holiday favorite of mine ever since!
- 6 to 6-1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
- 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1-1/3 cups water
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1/4 cup butter, cubed
- 1 egg
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats, lightly toasted
- 2-1/2 cups chopped walnuts
- 1. In a bowl, combine 1 cup flour, sugar, yeast and salt; mix well. In a small saucepan, heat water, milk, molasses and butter until a thermometer reads 120°-130° (butter does not need to melt). Add to yeast mixture; beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add egg, oats and 2 cups flour; beat on high for 2 minutes. Stir in nuts and enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1/2 hours. Punch dough down. Shape into two round loaves; place on greased baking sheets. With sharp knife, cut four parallel slashes on top of each loaf. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Bake at 375° for 20-30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans; cool on wire racks. Yield: 2 loaves.

text: It would appear that the revolution effected by Wordsworth was very far-reaching indeed. He was not the first poet to present himself as the inspired prophet, nor indeed is this quite Wordsworth's case. Blake may have pretended, and with some claim, to have penetrated mysteries of heaven and hell, but no claim that Blake might make seems to descend upon the "poet" in general; Blake simply had the visions, and made use of poetry to set them forth. Scott, and Byron in his more popular works, were merely society entertainers. Wordsworth is really the first, in the unsettled state of affairs in his time, to annex new authority for the poet, to meddle with social affairs, and to offer a new kind of religious sentiment which it seemed the peculiar prerogative of the poet to interpret. Since Matthew Arnold made his Selections from Wordsworth's poetry, it has become a commonplace to observe that Wordsworth's true greatness as poet is independent of his opinions, of his theory of diction or of his nature-philosophy, and that it is found in poems in which he has no ulterior motive whatever. I am not sure that this critical eclecticism cannot go too far; that we can judge and

Holding everything from highly personal medical and social-media material to confidential financial and corporate documents, Internet-based cloud services are gathering an enormous trove of information — already a quarter of the world's business data — that is proving a powerful lure for hackers.
One notable example was the
February 2011 breach at Nasdaq's Directors Desk, which maintains records for thousands of corporations. Nasdaq has said little about what happened. But the case reportedly has prompted several federal investigations and sparked speculation that the culprits could have spied on secret communications of company board members.
Coupled with more recent breaches at Web marketer Epsilon, LinkedIn and Twitter — along with surveys showing such attacks alarmingly common among businesses — many experts say too little is being done to prevent cybercrooks from pilfering credit-card numbers, trade secrets and other sensitive data on the cloud.
"It's scary," said Eric Chiu, co-founder and president of Mountain View, Calif., security company HyTrust. If a hacker gets access to that information, he said, "they've got the keys to your kingdom. They can make copies of everything you have, and they can potentially destroy your data center."

Although definitions of cloud computing vary, it usually involves a shared service that lets customers access their data using Internet-based software or servers. Cloud storage can cut a company's costs, and make it easy to retrieve information from nearly anywhere via the Internet.
The cloud is used to send email, print from mobile devices,
exchange medical information and share on social networks. Among cloud document-storage services, such as Dropbox and Google Drive, the number of subscribers will double from 625 million this year to 1.3 billion in 2017, according to market researcher IHS.
Corporations have been among the biggest adopters. Research firm Gartner has predicted that the worldwide revenue from public clouds, a popular kind shared by multiple customers, will soar from $91.4 billion in 2011 to $206.6 billion in 2016.
Yet the trend poses risks. Symantec in January reported that 43 percent of the 3,236 businesses it queried had "lost data in the cloud," although it didn't ask how much was due to cyberattacks.
More security breaches
Those companies weren't alone. Of nearly 500 information-technology professionals Intel recently surveyed, 46 percent said their firms had suffered a security breach on two popular types of clouds. And most of the victims said they were experiencing more breaches than when they had kept the data on their own networks.
Some information can get into the wrong hands because of equipment mishaps or employee foul-ups. There also are growing fears as a result of lawsuits or government subpoenas. Of 100-plus IT professionals polled last year by security firm Lieberman Software, 48 percent said "the thought of government or legal action deters them from keeping data in the cloud."
But hackers are among the biggest concerns, and many businesses mistakenly assume their cloud providers will keep the crooks at bay, said JD Sherry of the Japanese security firm Trend Micro. While some offer protections, he said, many providers do not, he said.
"That burden of responsibility typically falls upon the customer and that often can be a huge challenge for a lot of folks," he said.
Amazon.com provides a wide array of security measures for its cloud services, according to a company statement.
But it said a customer of those services "assumes responsibility and management of the guest operating system (including updates and security patches), other associated application software, as well as the configuration of the
(Amazon)-provided security group firewall."
Monetary, other damage
It's not clear how much monetary or other damage has been caused by cloud data breaches. Officials at Epsilon and Twitter have issued only terse comments about their breaches, while LinkedIn has argued in a lawsuit over its hacking that no one was seriously harmed.
But Eve Maler, a Forrester Research principal analyst, said even a social-media site break-in can cause havoc.
"The bad guys might see direct messages containing personal information meant for the company, or could send out messages that harm the company's brand or business," she said.
Breaches could be far more serious, and cloud-based companies will have to become quicker at responding to cyber attacks, said Art Gilliland, general manger of enterprise security products at Hewlett-Packard. Even so, he predicted more companies will be victimized as they shift their data into the ether.
"It's going to happen," he said. "It's inevitable."

"A great day trip from Seattle!" Wallace Falls State Park by Marpessa
Wallace Falls State Park Travel Guide: 12 reviews and 37 photos
Recently when I visited Seattle I had decided that I wanted to get out of the city and go on a hike. Unfortunately when you don't have a car in the USA this can make things difficult.
However going to Wallace Falls was easily accessible with public transport!
I spent a few hours enjoying a leisurely stroll through the park. There were other people enjoying the outdoors as well, but you definitely felt for the most of it that you had the place to yourself!
If I come back to Washington again I would definitely like to explore more of the area - because it is so beautiful and tranquil.

Akamai returns as Diamond Impact Sponsor
Shaku Selvakumar 060001XT47 email@example.com | | Tags:  akamai ibmimpact business_partner websphere datapower application_infrastructur... ibm bizagility
0 Comments | 5,960 Visits
Akamai provides market-leading managed services for powering rich media, dynamic transactions, and enterprise applications online. An IBM business partner for over a decade, Akamai and IBM have collaborated to introduce the first product of the Akamai Ready relationship, WebSphere Application Accelerator for Public Networks, into the IBM WebSphere portfolio.
Nancy Pearson, Vice President, BPM, SOA and WebSphere Marketing spoke to Akamai about their exciting plans for IMPACT.
Nancy: I had a great discussion with Andy Rubinson, Sr. Product Marketing Manager for Akamai Application Performance Solutions. You're back for a second year as a Diamond Sponsor. For those who may not be familiar with Akamai, can you give us a quick introduction to Akamai?
Andy: Akamai is adding value to the WebSphere portfolio by extending the reach beyond the data center to the edge of the network. We provide an alternative to centralized Web infrastructure, with our global network of tens of thousands of distributed servers, providing the performance, reliability, scale, security and insight for businesses to succeed online. Last year at Impact, we announced the Akamai Ready Initiative to enable IBM WebSphere customers to benefit from the elasticity of Akamai's global application acceleration network.
Nancy: What's new with Akamai for IBM Impact 2011?
Andy: We've made some great progress since last year. Working with IBM, we've created a solution that combines the benefits of Akamai's global platform overlaying the public Internet, with the WebSphere DataPower appliance in the data center. The IBM Software Group is now selling this first Akamai Ready product, WebSphere Application Accelerator for Public Networks. We'll also be making an exciting announcement at Impact about next steps in the Akamai Ready relationship.
Last year, many people noticed our booth on the convention floor, with a model of our Network Operations Control Center (NOCC) and kiosk displays to help visualize the impact of Akamai on applications and websites delivered over the public Internet. We'll have a very similar setup this year, but definitely updated to reflect the latest progress in our relationship with IBM.
Nancy: How exactly does Akamai fit into the WebSphere portfolio?
Andy: Akamai fits into the Application Infrastructure that acts as the foundation for the engines that drive the WebSphere portfolio, Business Strategy, Business Process Management, and Service Oriented Architecture. We help WebSphere expand the reach of applications to the edge of the network, to users anywhere, anytime. By optimizing both static and dynamic delivery over the public Internet, we're able to provide WAN-like performance from a single data center, facilitating data center consolidation initiatives, and helping to avoid building expensive international data centers to achieve desired performance levels.
Nancy: So how does this differ from what DataPower and Akamai have done in the past?
Andy: By combining DataPower with WebSphere Application Accelerator, we offer innovative capabilities that produce results that are greater than the sum of their parts. We deliver elastic scale through DataPower's ability to modify cache controls on Akamai's Edge, based on changing load levels. This not only ensures that the end user continues to enjoy consistently fast performance, regardless of load, it also increases the ability to absorb DDoS attacks at the Edge. We are also able to enhance security through a secure handshake that only allows traffic delivered through Akamai to pass through to DataPower and the WebSphere infrastructure. Of course customers still get the application acceleration benefits of the Akamai Platform. The end result is unparalleled performance and availability of WebSphere applications delivered to end users across the globe, along with enhanced security to protect against Internet threats.
Nancy: How does Impact 2011 help you reach new customers and maintain your expertise in today's marketplace?
Andy: Impact continues to build our partnership with IBM, allowing us to demonstrate how we collaborate on the best possible strategies for optimal delivery of Websites and Web applications. There are still quite a few WebSphere and DataPower customers that we'd like to introduce to Akamai and Impact gives us the opportunity to do that. It also gives us an opportunity to understand the needs of WebSphere and DataPower customers so we can better serve them.
Nancy: Any exciting previews for our readers?
Andy: We've got a number of breakout sessions planned, starting with an introduction to WebSphere Application Accelerator and what's coming next in WebSphere's Akamai Ready offerings. We'll do a more technical deep-dive to give IT and business executives a better understanding of how the Akamai Ready solutions work with DataPower for a more complete cloud delivery strategy. Finally, we'll have a session focusing on the business value derived from combining DataPower and WebSphere Application Accelerator, to help in developing the business case and rationale for leveraging them for optimal application delivery. We want to encourage anyone who'd like to learn more in a less formal setting, to join the IBM and Akamai teams for lunch at our Birds of a Feather sessions to learn more and ask questions. Here's the schedule for all of these sessions at Impact:
Please do stop by the Akamai booth. We'll have a double decker booth set up to show visitors how Akamai works and some of the key visualizations showing the state of the Internet including traffic statistics, the impact we have on site and application delivery, and ROI tools to better understand the potential benefits.
Thank you Andy, Akamai seems all set to make an "impact"!
Don't forget to visit Akamai at the Solution Center and be sure to catch for exciting news on the Akamai Ready relationship at Impact 2011. Follow @akamai on Twitter for real time news.
Register for Impact 2011 and meet our IBM Business Partners at the world class Solution Showcase Center featuring over 130 business partner and IBM exhibitors demonstrating the latest technology.

Carlos Misael
Update on Carlos MisaelCarlos Misael, 32, is married and has two minor children who are 14 and 4 years of age and who attend elementary school. His business consists in selling general merchandise. He sells assorted new clothes, plastic items and belts, among other accessories. He's been in business three years. He does not have a fixed locale; he sells from place to place. He's from Chichigalpa where rum, sugarcane and sugar predominate. His clientele has increases because he's gone everywhere. One of Carlos' desires is to improve the house he lives in as well as to expand the business more. This loan's objective is to invest in working capital and stock the business buying merchandise like children's clothes, adult clothes, pants, shirts, dresses, shorts, skirts, bed linens, towel sets, underwear, varied plastic items to meet customer demand and in a not too distant future increase his income. Carlos Misael is thankful for the support Kiva lenders provide people of scarce resources and poor countries like Nicaragua so they can have a way to earn their livelihood with dignity.
Previous Loan DetailsCarlos is 31 years old and he started to work as a merchant in the city two years ago. He then went on to be a sales supervisor but over time, Carlos learned the most important parts of this job in order to start his own business. His desire to get ahead led Carlos to sell general merchandise. ... More from Carlos Misael's previous loan »
Additional Information
Fundación Leon 2000This loan is administered by Fundación Leon 2000. Fundación Leon 2000 began operations in 1993 as the first microfinance institution to serve the western part of Nicaragua, a country which continues to be one of the poorest in the western hemisphere. Fundación Leon 2000 works to further the development of micro, small, and medium enterprises through credit services and management, applying the best credit industry practices and technical expertise. Additionally, Fundación Leon manages several business and financial education programs in the community, specifically for young entrepreneurs and at-risk youth. Fundación Leon 2000's group of experienced and dedicated employees works in 7 offices in Leon, Chinandega, Chichigalpa, Somotillo, Jinotepe, El Sauce, and Nagarote and serves several thousand clients (the majority of whom are women).
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

text: Are Traditional Annuities Bad for Your Wealth? A UK Perspective Seth J. Masters December 20, 2011 Americas, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Defined Contribution Roughly 90% of defined contribution (DC) savers in the UK still buy fixed-rate immediate annuities at retirement. Does this make sense for UK workers, and is there a lesson to be learned for the US? Private sector pension systems in the US and UK have undergone significant structural changes in the past decade, with an increasing reliance on DC programs to help individuals fund their retirements. While the two systems take similar approaches to helping individuals sign up and build savings, they take nearly antithetical approaches to retirement income. US retirees traditionally draw down their savings over time, whereas UK workers traditionally purchase a fixed-rate immediate annuity at retirement. Rule changes over the last decade have relaxed the legal obligation on UK retirees to buy a traditional annuity at retirement, but about 90% of them continue to do so. Does this make sense for UK workers—or workers in the US? Advocacy of fixed-rate annuities for plan participants has risen sharply in recent years. We firmly believe that the guaranteed income for life offered by an annuity is highly desirable. However, the risks associated with the current market favorite in the UK—a level annuity that ceases immediately on the death of the purchaser—should come with risk warnings attached, as my colleague David Hutchins explains below. Let the buyer beware Having spent recent years speaking to UK retirees who have recently bought annuities, we believe there is a clear need for better warnings about their drawbacks, as well as their benefits. Here are a few ideas about the warnings we think would be useful—and why. This annuity will not protect you from inflation. The vast majority of annuities purchased today have no inbuilt protection against inflation. Consider this: for someone retiring at age 65, inflation of 5% a year (somewhat less than today's UK level) would reduce the spending power of £1 to 61p by age 75 and to a mere 38p by age 85. The only way retirees can shelter their income from such depredations is to accept a much lower annuity rate at the outset. This annuity may seriously damage your family's wealth. The large majority of annuities purchased today provide no benefits to the surviving spouse on the death of the purchaser. It is clear from this that most savers do not know there is a 60% probability that one member of a couple will outlive the other by at least 10 years in retirement. This annuity is a lifetime commitment 'til death do us part. Most of those buying annuities—often in haste when they retire—may be forced to repent at leisure. Once purchased, a buyer is tied to that annuity for life: the terms cannot be changed nor the contract surrendered. The "best" rate may not really be the best for you. As pointed out in the previous few paragraphs, individuals rarely purchase annuities that provide protection against inflation, benefits for spouses or revocability. Why? Indiiduals tend to gravitate toward the option that provides the highest current income for their situation today. This annuity may be a lot more expensive than you think. Unlike most modern financial products, annuities do not make clear what the purchaser is paying for; this makes a cost comparison with the alternatives far from fair. Typically, buyers can expect to hand over 10% to 20% of the cost of an annuity to the annuity provider and its distributor. Let me be clear: Traditional fixed annuities do have some genuine benefits. The lifetime income guarantee they provide is not something to be dismissed lightly. Yet, given the very high probability that someone retiring today at age 65 will still be alive at age 75, why do so many UK pensioners rush to buy an annuity when the benefits of delaying such a purchase can be substantial? Making the purchase less hastily gives the purchaser time to better understand what they are buying. It also gives purchasers time in retirement to understand their retirement needs, which positions him or her to make a more informed choice. Moreover, keeping their retirement assets invested for a longer period of time may help them better manage issues such as inflation, protecting the wider family's wealth, "purchaser's regret" and market pricing. In sum, we favor a two-pronged approach to retirement income in the UK, which can also inform developments in the US: • More information for annuity buyers, particularly about the risks, and • Development of more flexible, lower-cost and better risk-managed strategies, including insurance-backed vehicles, to provide effective alternatives to traditional fixed annuities Both approaches would allow people to make better choices.

"Modica" Modica by Leonardo83
Modica Travel Guide: 13 reviews and 55 photos
"The Val di Noto is the territory of eastern Sicily, which geographically corresponds to the tip of the island. Eight of the cities in the Val di Noto in 2002 entered the list of UNESCO World Heritage Site thanks to the Sicilian Baroque. The cities are:
Caltagirone, Militello, Catania, Modica, Noto, Palazzolo Acreide, Ragusa and Scicli.
The eight towns were all rebuilt after 1693, on or near the ruins of those destroyed by the earthquake in the same year.
They provide remarkable testimony to the exuberant brilliance expressed in art and architecture of the late Baroque
They are the result of a significant collective effort, successfully conducted and the results are of high architectural and artistic level. They also illustrate distinctive innovations in planning and urban design."
The town of the 10 churches, Modica was destroyed by an earthquake in 1693 and completely rebuilt in Baroque style. It's located south of the Iblei Mountains and is divided into two areas: Modica Alta (the higher part) whose buildings are almost climbing the rocks of the mountains, and Modica Bassa (the lower part), in the valley, and where is now the Corso Umberto, the main road and historic site of the city. The two areas are connected by the Ponte Guerrieri, one of the highest bridges in Europe (130 mt tall). Modica is also famous for its chocolate, prepared with an ancient traditional technique.
Things to do and see in Modica:
• Remain speechless in front of the magnificent architecture of its Palaces and Churches.
• Wander through the little alleyways with antique shops
• Eat the local produce chocolate exported all over the world (I recommend the hot chilly chocolate).
Places to visit around Modica:
• Visit the seaside villages of Marina di Modica and Pozzallo with their beautiful long sandy beaches (15 Km from the town).

Las Vegas – The California Move (Day 3)
Las Vegas – The California Move Day 3
The 4th time was not the charm for me and Las Vegas, NV. I basically have no use for the place and I wanted to bring Schmee with me to see if it was me or if she would validate my general disdain for the place.
I have many friends who love Vegas and I am sure they are the same friends who love Cabo, or The Pink Palace, or tents at golf tournaments. There is something wonderful to some people about cavorting about all knowing that self-imposed rules are being broken and that somehow makes it OK.
I tend to live my life with fewer rules and far fewer burdens of duty than many so to me Vegas just seems like a bit of a shithole. So much so that most of my photos are haphazardly shot which I think was a subconscious act of defiance and to illustrate just how depraved the whole place is.
Take our would be Tim McGraw here. He broke out his finest 10 thread count banded collar shirt from the depths of his closet, gelled back that ratty tail and polished the empty nest to channel St Francis as he put his last 3 missing child support checks down on the Blackjack table. He figures he ain't leavin here till he makes 6 months of trailer payments and has at least one run-in with a working tranny.
This is actually the inside of the Venetian hotel where they have an actual canal and gondoliers. One of which I recognized from Venice (no kidding) and he was singing a song that disparaged the people around him. I wanted so much to record him as I loved his voice and his sad message. Basically it was look at all these sad people in this sad place and I am the saddest one of them all. I think that was actually me.
There is also a Paris hotel in Vegas and I wonder how many people come here who have never been to Paris or Venice and blow more money than it would take them to go to the actual places themselves rather than the faux examples on the strip.
Of course, I have many sommelier friends who work or have worked here and it helps them get their careers going and gets them a real head start on their own personal study of cirrhosis.
I have lots of wine and dine friends who come here to laud about the wondrous meals and I think, why not just go to New York, San Francisco, or London? Hell, go to Hong Kong. I went to one very average steak dinner and drank decent wine and it was 4 bills for 2 of us. I wanted to hang myself in the morning but that was a $75 convenience charge and I would have to tip the hangman a 10 spot.
Thank God for breakfast at Bouchon. The room and the food were classy. The service was substandard by Keller expectations but was at least friendly. I wanted to simply stay in my seat till I had to leave the following day.
I get weepy thinking of this buttery goodness.
The other real treasure in Vegas is the spectacular Thai restaurant Lotus of Siam. It is not on the strip nor opulent. However, it is the most interesting Thai cuisine I have ever eaten and the wine list blew my mind. The menu has all the ubiquitous Thai dishes as well as some killer things from Northern Thailand. If I was not already excited about our trip to Thailand in March, after dining here I was ecstatic.
This was one of three great Rieslings we consumed with our meal at LOS. I have been singing the praises of this place ever since we left Vegas and it is most definitely the lasting image I choose to keep in the memory banks of our time in this hot, nasty, lascivious city.
If you are curious, Schmee hated the place..I mean really hated it
stay tuned tomorrow for Death Valley, California
Vegas offends the sensibilities of all but the banded-collar initiates, so I hear. Americans are deliriously happy with "faux" no matter in what shape or size it presents itself. I laughed as I read this charming diatribe. Hang yourself in the morning except that death by hanging is far too expensive in Vegas. Thank goodness you were able to salvage something from the visit. Good Thai food and breakfast at Bouchon. The next episode better find you in your element. 🙂
Yes, tomorrow is much more us. I am getting some flack for this on WP 🙂 (I knew I would)
Please, can I travel with you? 🙂

They have been very helpful and treat me like they care.
The staff here is real good when it comes to problems and or any questions you have when it comes to the property.
All leasing representative are professional and courteous.Maintenance is no problem, good job.
Moved into an apartment unit that had very dusting air vents, outdated cabinets and dishwasher. Stove is not fully functionable; light indicating oven is on does not work and one burner works when feels like. The back porch has mildew all over the floor. Asked to have these issues taken care of and no one cares, was told that we have to clean the vents ourselves...the apartment is nice overall, I really like it but im thinking if its right for me.
I am receiving what's to be expected for this neighborhood

1 Comments | Copyright: IANS
New Delhi, Sep 21 (IANS) Bollywood's mother-daughter duos like Kajol-Tanuja and Sharmila Tagore-Soha Ali Khan have not just struck the right chemistry and friendship off the arclights - their bonding has translated on screen too.
On the occasion of Daughter's Day, which falls Sunday, IANS lists the popular mother-daughter duos who have brought their real life magic alive on reel via films. While some of them have faced the camera together, there are exceptions like Hema Malini and Aparna Sen, who even directed their daughters in their movies.
Tanuja-Kajol: They first teamed up for the 1992 film "Bekhudi" and were last seen on the screen in the 2010 movie "Toonpur Ka Superhero". Kajol had once admitted that the idea of working with her mother scared her due to the latter's perfectionist attitude. But around the release of "Toonpur Ka Superhero", she was quoted as saying that she had gained the confidence to face her mother for the camera.
Sharmila Tagore-Soha Ali Khan: Soha had always maintained that she wanted to be a part of her mother's glorious filmography and she finally got a chance with Sangeeta Datta's 2009 film "Life Goes On". Off the cameras, they share a mother-daughter bond like any other with Soha eyeing her mother's jewellery pieces, but Sharmila always lends her expertise - be it in acting or in delivering Bengali dialogues in movies, to her girl.
Aparna Sen-Konkona Sen Sharma: Actress-turned-director Aparna Sen's fine tuning with her talented daughter Konkona Sen Sharma was evident in "Mr. And Mrs. Iyer". It even won Konkana a best actress National Award. Aparna went on to helm "15 Park Avenue" which also featured Konkana and garnered much critical acclaim. On screen, they teamed up for Bengali drama "Iti Mrinalini", where Aparna essayed the older version of the character played by Konkana.
Hema Malini-Esha Deol: After being a part of many films like "Cash", "Na Tum Jaano Na Hum", "Kuchh Toh Hai", "Chura Liya Hai Tumne", "Darling" and "One Two Three", which failed miserably at the box office, Esha Deol found herself struggling in Bollywood. As every mother would do, Hema Malini too made an attempt to lift her daughter's career by directing "Tell Me O Kkhuda". Alas, that also didn't do well.
The list doesn't end here.
Some of Bollywood's other popular mother-daughter duos include Dimple Kapadia and her daughters Twinkle Khanna and Rinke, Moon Moon Sen with her daughters Raima and Riyaa Sen and Lilette Dubey with her daughter Ira Dubey.
In the ad world too, one has seen actress Neetu Singh posing with her girl Riddhima Kapoor. Sonakshi Sinha too will reportedly team up with her elegant mother Poonam for an advertisement.

A mediocre mahogany inbox.
This review is from: Rolodex 23350 Wood Tones Letter Desk Tray, Wood, Mahogany
Pros: This fantastic inbox has been created with exceptional construction. No matter how many pieces of paper I place inside of it, it can withstand the y-axis pressure without any visible bending or breaking. It is light weight, and could easily be thrown 100+ feet. There are padded feet on the bottom to avoid scratching desk tops. Can be used as a miniature craps table.
Cons: The wood is a much lighter color in reality than pictured. Consequently, the entire dynamic of my room design is now completely out of whack. BEWARE!
Other Thoughts: Slightly overpriced.

I spent several hours this evening surfing the Web for sites on software architecture. I must admit that it was a bit depressing. While I encountered a few vibrant sites (for example, the software architecture group at the Software Engineering Institute), most of the pages I uncovered were either dormant, horribly dated, or full of dangling references (and even the most vibrant sites seemed a bit stale to me). Granted, the Web is a fickle mistress when it comes to distinguishing pearls and swine, but I was surprised to find so few pearls. If it's any consolation, my sparse findings might be explained away by the Google IPO which looms tomorrow morning, for their search engines might be otherwise busy counting the expected billions.
Anyway, I did some digging through the muck so that you don't have to, and landed with a fairly small but useful collection of sites which I've documented in the Handbook (sorry, as I've explained before, you'll have to nominally register at the site, because it keeps out the spammers).
