Scarleteen Confidential: Parenting Gender Non-Conforming Youth
Many trans or gender non-conforming youth come to us looking for support they're having difficulty finding, or don't feel safe looking for elsewhere. We know from talking with these users that one of the biggest factors in their overall well-being -- and how hard or easy all of this is on them -- is how supported and safe they feel in their identities when around their families.
This piece is created with an eye towards how can you support them while dealing with any emotions you might have.
Straight, Gay and Everything in Between: On Sexual Fluidity
In an episode of the Mtv show 'Faking It', the main character Amy expresses being interested in a boy. Since this comes on the heels of Amy confessing her love for her female best friend at the end of the first season, many viewers felt frustrated and confused. Wasn't Amy a lesbian? Had she not just come out? What was she doing making eyes at that boy?
Do I need to come out as asexual?
I first learned asexuality existed around a year ago. I decided to research it simply because it was something I had never heard about and wanted to be informed. I came across AVEN and several blogs with people telling about their own experiences with asexuality and debunking myths....
Resources for Parents & Families of Trans/Gender-Variant Youth
One of the things that can be hard, when choosing to come out to parents, is the fact that you might feel like you have to educate them about gender issues, both on a general level and in terms of your own identity; this can make a process that might already feel overwhelming or stressful even harder to manage. Letting an organization that's dedicated to this sort of education do some of the work for you can take some of that weight off of your shoulders.
The Rainbow Connection: Orientation for Everyone
Hi, my name is Polyqueergenderqueer
Heather and Dan on How It Gets Better
Is he gay? and other questions that hinder a coming-out party.
I guess I'll just jump right in to it! My boyfriend recently broke up with me, and confided in me that it was because lately, he's been seriously questioning his sexuality. I completely support him, I still care about him, and I want to help him find out, because I can't stand seeing him so confused and helpless (that's what he said he felt like). So problem #1 is, how can I be there for him?...
I thought I was gay but now I'm questioning my orientation
turbo18 asks:I've known I was gay for about 5 years (im now 19). Lately however something's been "wrong," I'm being attracted to certain women! I've even started looking at "straight" porn. Last night I made out with a girl for the first time, and I even asked her out and I have strong feelings for her (she knew I was gay). I feel as I've lost my identity....
I'm a bisexual girl with a great boyfriend... and a bunch of guilt
Shadowlover says: I am feeling extremely guilty at the moment. I am a seventeen year old bisexual girl, and am currently involved in a relationship with a lovely boy. But I am also lusting after (or crushing on, really) another girl. The problem isn't that I can't have her, I know that, but rather the guilt I feel towards not wanting my boyfriend as much....

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/16/13 -- Organizations are widely migrating to the cloud to gain competitive advantages around speed, agility and flexibility according to Symantec Corp's. (NASDAQ: SYMC) recent Avoiding the Hidden Costs of Cloud 2013 Survey. In fact, more than 90 percent of all organizations are at least discussing cloud, up from 75 percent a year ago. Other key survey findings showed enterprises and SMBs are experiencing escalating costs tied to rogue cloud use, complex backup and recovery, and inefficient cloud storage. Rogue clouds are defined as business groups implementing public cloud applications that are not managed by or integrated into the company's IT infrastructure.
Industry experts predict several key issues will arise in 2013 focused on the financial pressures and security challenges of cloud computing. Business continuity is seen as an important issue with the increase in cloud outages posing greater risks than security breaches. Over the holidays, a leading cloud service provider experienced an outage, which they quickly remediated. This outage impacted businesses and posed important concerns around data loss prevention, backup, time spent on data recovery and the associated costs. However, with advance preparation, organizations can build safe, agile and efficient clouds that will enable them to meet their business goals.
Read more detailed blog post: Avoiding Hidden Costs in the Cloud
"By taking control of cloud deployments, companies can seize advantage of the flexibility and cost savings associated with the cloud, while minimizing the data control and security risks linked with rogue cloud use," said Francis deSouza, group president, Enterprise Products and Services, Symantec.
Click to Tweet: 77% of businesses saw rogue cloud deployments last year, 40% of them suffered exposure of confidential info: http://bit.ly/X988cQ
Rogue Cloud Implementations
According to the survey, rogue cloud deployments are one of the cost pitfalls. It is a surprisingly common problem, found in more than three quarters (77 percent) of businesses within the last year. It also seems to be an issue experienced more by enterprises (83 percent), due to their larger company size, than SMBs (70 percent).
Among organizations who reported rogue cloud issues, 40 percent experienced the exposure of confidential information, and more than a quarter faced account takeover issues, defacement of Web properties, or stolen goods or services. The most commonly cited reasons for undertaking rogue cloud projects were to save time and money.
Cloud Backup and Recovery Issues
Cloud is complicating backup and recovery. First, most organizations use three or more solutions to back-up their physical, virtual and cloud data -- leading to increased IT inefficiencies, risk and training costs. Furthermore, 43 percent of organizations have lost cloud data (47 percent of enterprises and 36 percent of SMBs), and most (68 percent) have experienced recovery failures.
Finally, most see cloud recovery as a slow, tedious process. Only 32 percent rate this is as fast and 22 percent estimate it would take three or more days to recover from a catastrophic loss of data in the cloud.
Inefficient Cloud Storage
One of the key advantages to cloud storage is how simple it is to provision. Sometimes this simplicity leads to inefficient cloud storage. Generally, organizations strive to maintain a storage utilization rate above 50 percent. According to the survey, cloud storage utilization is surprisingly low at 17 percent. There is a tremendous difference in this area between enterprises (which are utilizing 26 percent of their storage) and SMBs (which is a shockingly low seven percent). Furthermore, roughly half admit very little, if any, of their cloud data is deduplicated, further compounding the problem.
Compliance and eDiscovery Concerns
According to the survey, 49 percent of organizations are concerned about meeting compliance requirements in the cloud, and a slightly larger number (53 percent) are concerned about being able to prove they have met cloud compliance requirements. This concern about information in the cloud is well founded, as 23 percent of organizations have been fined for cloud privacy violations.
eDiscovery is creating additional pressure on businesses to quickly find the right information. One-third of businesses reported receiving eDiscovery requests for cloud data. Of those, two-thirds have missed their cloud discovery deadlines, leading to fines and legal risks.
Data in Transit Issues
Organizations have all sorts of assets in the cloud -- such as Web properties, online businesses or Web applications -- that require SSL certificates to protect the data in transit whether it is personal or financial information, business transactions and other online interactions. The survey showed companies found managing many SSL certificates to be highly complex: Just 27 percent rate cloud SSL certificate management as easy and only 40 percent are certain their cloud-partner's certificates are in compliance with corporate standards.
Hidden Costs Are Easily Avoided
The survey shows ignoring these hidden costs will have a serious impact on business. However, these issues are easily mitigated with careful planning, implementation and management:
- Focus policies on information and people, not technologies or platforms
- Educate, monitor and enforce policies
- Embrace tools that are platform agnostic
- Deduplicate data in the cloud
Symantec's Avoiding the Hidden Costs of Cloud 2013 Survey
Symantec's 2013 Cloud Survey is a result of research conducted by ReRez in September-October 2012. The full study represents 3,236 organizations from 29 countries. Responses came from companies with a range of five to more than 5,000 employees. Of those responses, 1,358 came from SMBs and 1,878 came from enterprises.

Government charge cards misused by Army personnel
WASHINGTON -- Some 200 Army personnel used government charge cards to get $38,000 in cash that they spent on "lap dancing and other forms of entertainment" at strip clubs near military bases, Sen. Charles Grassley said Wednesday, citing findings of a congressional investigation.
Grassley, R-Iowa, said the soldiers used their military identification and government travel card to obtain cash from adult entertainment bars and then spent the money there.
The General Accounting Office, which conducted the investigation, said the clubs charged a 10 percent fee to supply the soldiers with cash, billing their travel cards for the full amount as a restaurant charge.
An Army spokesman said he did not know what, if any, disciplinary action had been taken against the 200 individuals.
But the GAO said it found "little evidence of documented disciplinary action against Army personnel who misused the card, or that Army travel program managers or supervisors were even aware that Army personnel were using their travel cards for personal use."
The GAO report is the latest volley in a two-year congressional probe of the Pentagon's credit card program. The program is huge. Last year, the 1.4 million defense employees used government travel cards for $2.1 billion in travel purchases; another 230,000 Defense Department workers used purchase cards for $6.1 billion in goods and services.
Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld created a special task force earlier this year to look into credit card abuses, and it made 25 recommendations last month to tighten controls over cards and to increase prosecutions of those who abuse or misuse them.
In its Army investigation, the GAO also found that government cards had been used for personal purchases of more than $100,000 for computers and other electronic equipment, $45,000 for cruises, and $7,373 for closing costs on a home.
Investigators also questioned purchases on government cards of fine china, cigars, wine, a trip to Las Vegas, Internet and casino gambling, and two pictures of Elvis Presley purchased at his Graceland mansion in Memphis, Tenn.
Rep. Jan Schakowsky, D-Ill., one of the House government reform leaders who requested the GAO investigation, said the findings point to an overall management failure at the Pentagon.
"Financial management at the Department of Defense is as bad or worse as at Enron, WorldCom or any other corporation that has misled the public," she said.
James T. Inman, the Army's acting deputy assistant secretary, said the service is "aggressively correcting" the problems uncovered by the GAO investigation.
In one instance, the GAO found government charge cards were used for a $30,000 purchase of 80 Palm Pilots at the Pentagon's top procurement office. An Internal e-mail said there was a need "to get enough goodies for everyone."
The new GAO report is the first to focus on the Army, which has more than 430,000 travel cardholders and more than 100,000 purchase cards in use. The Army's charge bill last year totaled more than $3 billion.

Using ntop, iftop and apachetop to Monitor Traffic on Ubuntu
Not monitoring your server's network traffic is the equivalent of driving a car with your eyes closed. You must at all times be aware of your server's traffic. Just checking the logs is simply not enough. The tools that I will show you today generate traffic statistics, and show traffic usage in realtime. Statistics that would be hard for you to obtain otherwise. For a secure server, using such tools is mandatory.

Five reasons to switch from Windows to Linux
Linux has been in the ascendancy ever since the open source operating system was released, and has been improved and refined over time so that a typical distribution is now a polished and complete package comprising virtually everything the user needs, whether for a server or personal system. Much of the web runs on Linux, and a great many smartphones, and numerous other systems, from the Raspberry Pi to the most powerful supercomputers. So is it time to switch from Windows to Linux? Here are five reasons why.

FIRST COMIC: It's a toss up between "Batman" #436 and "Web of Spider-Man" Annual #4. I bought them both in the same summer, and liked Batman WAY better is all I can recall.

Wagner, J., and Trivellore Raghunathan. 2010. "A new stopping rule for surveys." Statistics in Medicine, 29(9): 1014-1024.
Non-response is a problem for most surveys. In the sample design, non-response is often dealt with by setting a target response rate and inflating the sample size so that the desired number of interviews is reached. The decision to stop data collection is based largely on meeting the target response rate. A recent article by Rao, Glickman, and Glynn (RGG) suggests rules for stopping that are based on the survey data collected for the current set of respondents. Two of their rules compare estimates from fully imputed data where the imputations are based on a subset of early responders to fully imputed data where the imputations are based on the combined set of early and late responders. If these two estimates are different, then late responders are changing the estimate of interest. The present article develops a new rule for when to stop collecting data in a sample survey. The rule attempts to use complete interview data as well as covariates available on non-responders to determine when the probability that collecting additional data will change the survey estimate is sufficiently low to justify stopping data collection. The rule is compared with that of RGG using simulations and then is implemented using data from a real survey. Copyright (C) 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Now your nails can match your phone. A tech-and-beauty lover's dream come true?
If you love tech and if beauty is your thing, then you're in luck. Nokia has launched a nail polish range in 'honour' of their latest hot pink Lumia 900 phone. Apparently the mobile's colours are specialised as the paint doesn't just cover the plastic, but lies within the polycarbonate as well… Hm. Let's hope their nail polish is just as advanced.Follow Women24 and Jana Joubert on TwitterWhat do you think?

Coca-Cola Pushes Fan Interaction With '13 Super Bowl Ad; Does Not Include Polar Bears
Published January 23, 2013
SOCIAL CLUB: DIGIDAY.com's Giselle Abramovich noted social media integration is a "huge component" of Coca-Cola's effort. Fans' actions via social media will "determine how the storyline plays out, and that's Coke's shot at active engagement." Real-time updates on the chase and character engagement will "take place on every major form of digital and social media." During the game last year, all Coke "asked people to do was watch the bears watch the games." There was no "call to action to share, or vote, or anything of the sort." This year, there are "all sorts of activities for consumers" (DIGIDAY.com, 1/22).
WAITING TOO LATE? AD AGE's Natalie Zmuda wrote Coke's "post-game strategy could be risky." The Super Bowl audience has been "known to disperse in the past, particularly when the game is seen as a blow-out going into half-time." It is "not clear that the second Coca-Cola ad will even be considered an official 'Super Bowl ad,' as commercials shown after the end of the game typically cost significantly less." Coca-Cola execs said that they were "confident the post-game spot would get the outsize audience they desired." This year marks the "earliest date Coca-Cola has released its Super Bowl creative." It is "hoping most folks watching the Super Bowl will already have seen its 60-second spot before kickoff -- a trend that's been hotly debated in the ad world" (ADAGE.com, 1/22).

Elderly man hospitalized after hit and run in Halifax area
CTV Atlantic
Published Tuesday, January 15, 2013 2:18PM AST
Last Updated Tuesday, January 15, 2013 7:00PM AST
A Nova Scotia family is pleading for someone to come forward with information after an elderly couple was struck in a hit-and-run incident in Brookside.
Members of the Tantallon RCMP responded to a complaint that a pedestrian was struck by a vehicle on Lakewood Drive, near Club Road shortly after 6:30 p.m. Monday.
They say a man and a woman in their sixties were walking single file along the shoulder of the road when they were struck by the vehicle.
"It looks like some vehicle struck the two, but did not stick around, so we are investigating what is known as a hit and run," says Halifax RCMP Cpl. Scott MacRae.
Gerald Pippy was knocked to the ground and suffered a serious head injury, as well as a broken ankle and leg. He remains in hospital but is expected to recover.
Joan Pippy was also taken to hospital but walked away with only minor bumps and bruises.
Police say they were both wearing reflective safety vests.
The victims' family released the following statement to CTV News:
"My mother and father have lived and walked in the same community for approximately 45 years. They always wear the same reflective vests to ensure visibility to traffic, never thinking that they may be struck by a car, because they take safety seriously.
If anyone in the community has any information about the incident that would help us bring this person or persons to justice, please contact the police."
Don Edwards walks along the same street in Brookside each day. He says he has had a few close calls with speeding cars.
"To me it was inevitable. The speeding that goes on in this neighbourhood, for whatever reason, is indescribable to me," says Edwards.
He would like to see the speed limit lowered in the area and believes there should be a designated section for walkers on the road.
"I've had a few close calls myself up here on the corner where I'm walking the dog, and cars come whipping around the corner, so it's scary."
Police don't believe road conditions played a factor in the collision.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact police.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity.

Review from Allan Larsen
Samsung s3 Great app. Use it to backup signed doc's. Never used The faxing part of the app its too much money. 1 $ a page really? Why cant you all figure out how to make the phone talk to fax machine. And do away with the middle man. Most financial companies refuse to use efax cause its not secure. Middle man can view the doc.
Awesome Very useful tools ever i used. I have been paid it for..thanks dev. Just let it use as off line xx
Great program Very intuitive and simple to use. Batch scanning is effective
Saves so much time Far better than a traditional scanner, and it can be used anywhere. Use it at work every day.
A must needed app for everyone This is the most important app of my phone, it's almost my dairy, now I don't have to carry bills n all stuff with me. It's their in my mobile Everytime
Great App No phone should be without this. Got it a few years ago, used it for documentation, reports sending, and storing articles and letters, just wonderful with many easy to grasp options, and much flexibility in sharing.
Great App to have Comes in handy when you need to have your own personal copies of your documents. I like that I can save them in different formats as well as email them. Saves time and money! Also very user friendly.
