This year, keep secure online

It's a new year but are you still battling the same old computer gripes?
Here's some suggestions for tech resolutions and how you can achieve them.
Feeling overwhelmed by the daily barrage of emails, or the mountain of email you have waiting to be dealt with? It's time to reclaim your inbox.
❏ Rather than flitting between emailing and your other work - and achieving little of either - set aside a block of time each day to answer and sort email. Set up an auto-reply telling people you'll get back to them later and to call you if it's urgent. Turn off email notifications, if your job allows, as these are a huge distraction.
❏ Begin your emailing time by flicking through the subject lines of emails and purging those that obviously don't interest you and don't require a response - usually auto-alert emails.
❏ Once you've opened an email decide what to do with it and take action. Either delete it, answer it or file it in a folder to reply to later. Dithering over emails wastes time and doesn't help inbox clutter.
❏ Write concise and clear emails so your recipient gets the message first time around.
❏ Read the whole email before shooting off a reply - the question you have may be answered at the bottom, or you may have further questions after reading it through.
❏ Use subject lines and folders to help you organise and easily find (and delete) emails.
Clogged and sluggish computers can cause serious frustration. Here's how to detox your PC:
❏ Defragging (an option for Windows PCs) groups parts of files, that have become fragmented in your system, together so they are easier and faster to retrieve. The defrag process varies slightly depending on which version of Windows you are running so ask Google for instructions for your specific operating system. Before you defrag make sure your operating system isn't installed on a solid state drive (SSD), as defragging can substantially shorten its operational life.
❏ Windows users can also run Disk Cleanup to identify temporary internet and other files that can be removed, for programs such as old games you don't use anymore. Again look up the specific instructions for your operating system.
❏ Mac computers automatically defrag files but users can run the Disk Utility program and click Repair Disk, which should help clean up your hard drive. To remove cached files you can download a free program called Onyx and to worm out applications you don't need, you can download AppZapper. Use Google to find detailed instructions for these tasks.
❏ You can check which applications your computer automatically opens when it boots up and remove applications you don't always use from that list to make for a speedier launch. To do this on a Windows computer, you'll need to launch the Windows System Configuration tool - ask Google for instructions. With Mac computers, you'll need to go to System Preferences, Users & Groups and then Login Items to find the list. Lightening the launch load means you will have to manually start up those applications you've removed when you need them though.
❏ While you're at it, why not give the outside of your computer a spring clean too? To get rid of the hard to reach dust and detritus in your keyboard spray it with a can of compressed air (from a computer, electronics or hardware store). Use antibacterial wipes to gently clean the tops of the keys and your mouse. To clean your LCD monitor, wipe it with a slightly damp soft cloth.
Almost every online service requires a password. The result? Either you wind up using the same simple passwords for every service - not the safest option - or have a myriad of passwords you can never remember.
❏ It's probably tempting to go with something obvious when picking a password, like your pet's name or a maiden name, but for a safer option why not go with a less-obvious combination of letters and numbers that still have meaning to you? For example, you could use the initials of the title of your favourite book, movie or song, or all three, along with a date that has significance (other than your birthday). So a person who loves, for example, Bryce Courtenay's The Power Of One, Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You and bought their first home in 1998 could use TPOOIWALY1998. As a rule of thumb the longer the password, and the more variety of lower and upper case letters and symbols, the better.
❏ Use your strongest and unique passwords for your most sensitive online accounts, such as internet banking, and share a few other passwords between your less important services.
❏ Check the strength of your password using a trusted online password checker, such as Microsoft's Password Checker, The Password Meter, or the site How Secure Is My Password? - which shows you how long it would take a desktop PC to crack your password. It's probably a good idea to test a password that's slightly different to the one you intend to use, for extra safety.
❏ Remember your passwords with the help of a password manager program, which stores all your usernames and passwords for online services in an encrypted online account.
LastPass is free and available for Windows, Mac users and - at a cost - for iOS (iPhones and iPads) and Android devices.
Also recommended is 1Password (for Windows, Mac, iPhone and iPad users), which is not free - prices vary depending on how many people are using it and whether its for a computer or mobile device. One advantage it has over LastPass is that passwords are not stored over the internet, which could be less secure. Password managers are usually accessed through a master password. While undoubtedly helpful, they are still vulnerable to attack so if you're going to use them make sure your master password is, a) stored only in your head, and b) very strong.

CALGARY, ALBERTA -- (Marketwired) -- 02/19/14 -- Caspian Energy Inc. ("Caspian") (TSX VENTURE:CEK.H) is pleased to announce the results of its special meeting of shareholders (the "Special Meeting") held today.
A total of 93,433,681 common shares of Caspian (the "Common Shares") of the 229,767,771 Common Shares outstanding were voted in favour of the special resolution (the "Consolidation Resolution") to consolidate the issued and outstanding Common Shares on the basis of one new common share of Caspian (a "Post-Consolidation Share") for every ten pre-Consolidation Common Shares (the "Consolidation") and a total of 780,036 Common Shares were voted against the Consolidation Resolution. Approximately 99.2% of the votes were cast in favour of the Consolidation Resolution.
Shareholders also voted approximately 99.4% in favour of the resolution (the "Conversion Resolution") to amend its amended and restated secured convertible debentures each dated July 8, 2011 (the "Debentures"). A total of 62,615,142 of the 62,965,492 eligible Common Shares were voted in favour of the Conversion Resolution and a total of 350,350 of the eligible Common Shares were voted against the Consolidation Resolution. 28,676,843 votes were excluded from voting on the Conversion Resolution pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI-61-101").
The Conversion Resolution approves a debenture amending agreement dated January 15, 2014 that, among other things, amends the Conversion Price (as defined in the Debentures) to the price such that, if all outstanding Debentures are converted (the "Conversion"), the Common Shares issued upon the Conversion would represent approximately eighty-two and one half percent (82.5%) of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. Caspian shareholders holding Common Shares immediately prior to the Conversion (which includes the holders of Debentures ("Holders") and certain of their affiliates) will hold the remaining approximately 17.5% of the Common Shares. Following the Conversion no debt owed to the Holders will remain outstanding.
Caspian plans to proceed with the Consolidation and the Conversion subject to and following approval thereof by the NEX board of the TSX Venture Exchange. It is expected that the Consolidation and the Conversion will occur tomorrow, February 20, 2014. An aggregate of 108,319,091 Post-Consolidation Shares will be issued to the Holders.
On the date of the Conversion, Maurizio Barnaba and William Ramsay are expected to resign from Caspian's board of directors (the "Board") and it is expected that the Board will appoint Baltabek Kuandykov, Nodir Normatov, Paul Marchand and Ivan S. Andreev as replacement directors. A voting agreement is expected to be entered into pursuant to which the Holders will agree (i) to vote their Common Shares at the annual meeting of Caspian shareholders to be held in 2014 in favour of, at the election of the Holders, one of Brian Korney, Michael Nobbs or Gordon Harris and to not take any action to remove such individual from the Board prior to the first anniversary of the date of the Conversion; and (ii) for as long as Firebird Global Master Fund, Ltd. and Firebird Avrora Fund, Ltd. (together with any other investment fund under common management) collectively hold 10% or more of the outstanding Common Shares, to vote their Common Shares at any meeting of Caspian shareholders held for the purpose of electing directors in favour of one representative identified by Firebird Global or Firebird Avrora (or any other investment fund under common management).

Generally, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "plans", "expects", or "does not expect", "is expected", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates", or "does not anticipate", or "believes" or variations of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might", or "will be taken", "occur", or "be achieved". Caspian's actual performance, developments and/or results may differ materially from any or all of the forward-looking statements. Further information which may cause results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements is contained in Caspian's filings with Canadian securities regulatory authorities. All material assumptions used in making forward-looking information are based on management's knowledge of current business conditions and expectations of future business conditions and trends Although Caspian believes the assumptions used to make such statements are reasonable at this time and has attempted to identify in its continuous disclosure documents important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended, including the failure of the Corporation to obtain NEX approval for the Consolidation or Conversion.

For anyone wishing to start a new life in France, then 'Heads Above Water' is book you have to read. It is a real live story about a family moving from Ireland to France and the authors heart and soul has been laid on the line.
As many people know life does not always run as smoothly as we would like when moving to a new country, but our spirit of adventure keeps us going. For some people it is to easy to throw in the towel and return to their native lands, sometimes with their tail between their legs. But the Dagg's are made of stronger stuff and took on every challenge that was thrown at them.
I have to admit that in their shoe's I might have given in, French bureaucracy can be soul destroying and coping with unhappy children just adds to the pain.
Stephanie's story is extremely well written, so much so that you feel you are with them going through the pains and joys. Yes it is not all doom and gloom, in fact most of it is entertaining and very funny.
Like other readers I am looking forward to a sequel, major hurdles have been jumped so life should be more settled for them. However I am sure that Stephanie has many more exciting exploits for us to follow in the future.
It's still a tempting lifestyle, even with all their tribulations, but packing a sense of humour when dealing with bureaucracy, a foreign language, large carp and larger llamas is probably a prerequisite.
I enjoyed this very much and would recommend it as essential reading for anyone thinking of moving to France. For those who aren't, you may need to skip a paragraph here and there where the bureaucrats have made themselves felt, but a general treat. I'll definitely get the follow-up when it comes out.
I found myself relating all the way - especially the section about French bureaucrats and the sheer frustration of trying to live life legally and do the right thing, only to be given the run around and be met with unhelpful and downright rude civil servants (try living in Greece!) But this was told with humour and not once did I feel Stephanie wanted sympathy.
Her dry wit carries this book through to the end - thank you, Stephanie, for sharing your experiences with us.

November 01, 2013
ACE and a group of 41 higher education associations yesterday submitted another brief in the ongoing diversity in admissions case, Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin (UT).
The U.S. Supreme Court in June remanded the case back to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit. In a 7-1 decision, the Supreme Court said that the lower court failed to apply the correct standard of "strict scrutiny," the most rigorous type of judicial review, when it ruled for UT in 2011.
The ACE brief focuses on a single key argument: educators' determination of educational goals merits judicial respect. The Supreme Court has affirmed that the educational benefits that flow from a diverse student body are a compelling interest that can justify the narrowly tailored use of race in admissions. However, each institution defines diversity in its own way, consistent with its mission, and in doing so, makes an educational judgment that merits a degree of deference by the court.
The plaintiff in Fisher suggests that the university's own judgment on what diversity means for that campus must be supplanted by a rigid numerical test. However, the higher education groups assert in the ACE brief that institutions themselves are in the best position to decide what mix of students best fits their educational goals.
The brief also notes that strict scrutiny distinguishes ends from means. The court must scrutinize the means used, but the end is attaining diversity's benefits, which involves academic judgment and merits a degree of deference.
The case will be heard Nov. 13.

Sorry to disappoint you all, but we're talking about the
pole shift. NOT the crustal displacement of the poles.
BIG difference folks!
A magnetic pole shift would effect the magnetic field of the Earth, reducing the protection we have from the sun. And maybe it might effect our electronics. Other than that you would never notice it. Could it end civilization? Well, that's a different question.
Revelation 6: 12-17
12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

Publisher's Description
With no-holds-barred honesty and poignant storytelling, Nate Larkin introduces a model of community and friendship that is reinvigorating men's ministry across the country, a model he calls The Samson Society. Too many men see the biblical hero Samson as their model for manhood--a rugged individualist of the highest order. Yet, Samson's solitary successes were eventually overcome by moral weaknesses. Larkin, through the story of his own past and the stories of those in The Samson Society, offers a radical, refreshing alternative.

Ulnar Nerve Release
- Author: Cristian Gragnaniello, MD; Chief Editor: Thomas M DeBerardino, MD more...
Ulnar nerve release is indicated for cubital tunnel syndrome with positive clinical and instrumental signs (nerve conduction studies and electromyography [EMG]) of compression at the elbow.
In 1957, Osborne described simple decompression of the ulnar nerve achieved by cutting the ligament subsequently named after him (the Osborne fascia or band). This ligament is part of the fibrous arcade, a fascia running between the two heads of the flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU). Osborne divided this fibrous band connecting the medial epicondyle and olecranon and reported results favorable to those of the anterior transposition procedures, which at that time represented the standard of surgical care for compressive ulnar neuropathies at the elbow.
In his report, Osborne observed that the ulnar neuritis was a result of direct compression of the nerve within the tunnel and that the flexion of the elbow exacerbated this condition.
The compression causes progressive disruption of the vascular supply to the nerve. In a normal elbow, the nerve undergoes tensile forces that increase the nerve strain; when the elbow is flexed, the nerve is pushed against its bed, and upon extension, the nerve diverges away from the elbow.
The ulnar nerve at the elbow could be compressed at different sites, as follows:
Proximal to the cubital tunnel at the level of the medial epicondyle - The arcade of Struthers is a canal made up by the intermuscular septum, the internal brachial ligament, and the triceps; at this site, between the middle and distal thirds of the humerus, the ulnar nerve travels from the anterior to the posterior compartment of the arm
Distal to the cubital tunnel - The compression might be caused by the arcuate ligament of Osborn that runs between the two heads of origin of the FCU and therefore between the medial epicondyle of the humerus and the medial aspect of the olecranon
Ulnar nerve compression at the elbow is the second most common compression neuropathy in the upper limbs (after median nerve compression in the carpal tunnel), with an incidence of 25 per 100,000 population per year. The condition is more common in men than in women, possibly as a consequence of the smaller coronoid process of the ulna and more abundant subcutaneous fat tissue in women.
Nontraumatic ulnar nerve compressive neuropathy is usually associated with arthritis, and there are no other known causes.
Clinical presentation
Individuals with ulnar nerve neuropathy present with sensorimotor deficits in the territory of the ulnar nerve. Typically, numbness and tingling of the fingers innervated by the ulnar nerve occur first, followed by weakness. Pain may occur behind the elbow. Symptoms may be exacerbated by elbow flexion; this is especially apparent at night.
In severe cases, atrophy of the intrinsic muscles of the hand at the hypothenar eminence may develop, from mild to severe, including the Froment sign, in which the abductor pollicis is weak, so the patient tends to flex the proximal interphalangeal joint of the thumb and extend the distal phalanx while grasping between the thumb and index finger to overcome the weakness of the abduction.
The patient can also present with a positive Wartenberg sign, in which the little finger is abducted owing to interosseous weakness. The Tinel sign may be positive at the elbow.
In severe cases, the benediction hand sign may also be seen, in which the last two fingers are less extended than the others when the patient tries to extend them all.
Neuroradiologic investigation
EMG is very useful in detecting peripheral neuropathies, and a velocity of less than 50 m/s across the elbow is highly suggestive of a compression at that level.
Radiography is still very important in the workup of cubital syndrome, in that it helps rule out trauma, bony tumors, and osteoarthritis.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is useful for ruling out compressions of the nerve by tumors and cystic pathologies of the soft tissue and joints.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, and hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies (HNPP) can all present with symptoms of ulnar nerve weakness and must be ruled out, as well as cervical nerves palsies, thoracic outlet syndrome, and compression of the nerve at the canal of Guyon.
Ulnar nerve release is indicated for cubital tunnel syndrome[1] with positive clinical and instrumental signs (nerve conduction studies and EMG) of compression at the elbow.
Contraindications to ulnar nerve release include the following:
Valgus deformity of the elbow
Ganglion cyst
Elbow instability or deformity
Relative contraindications include recurrent neuropathies.
A delayed diagnosis increases the risk of chronic neuritis and pain due to repeated injuries to the nerve, leading to intraneural scar formation. Surgical treatment in this case is less effective in the long term. Negative prognostic factors include severe, long-lasting neuropathy accompanied by diminished conduction velocity of the nerve.
A randomized controlled trial of 70 patients with mild or moderate but not necessarily electrophysiologically proven cubital tunnel syndrome sought to assess the efficacy of conservative therapy at 6 months.[2] The study subjects were divided into the following three groups:
Nocturnal elbow splinting for 3 months plus written information
Nerve gliding exercises plus written information
Written information only
The attrition rates among the three groups were high and equal, with 13 patients unavailable for follow-up and six others requesting surgical decompression. The authors found that written information improved occupational activities and pain, but the addition of splinting or exercises did not confer any further benefit.[2]
Medial epicondylectomy versus anterior ulnar nerve transposition for ulnar neuropathy at the elbow was examined in a randomized controlled trial of 47 operations.[3] Neurologic assessment of the hand and elbow at a minimum of 1 year showed no clinical difference between the two groups, though mild hand pain was more common after transposition. Patient satisfaction seemed better after medial epicondylectomy.[3]
A handful of randomized controlled trials have compared clinical and nerve conduction outcomes of simple decompression versus anterior ulnar nerve transposition in patients with electrophysiologically proven ulnar neuropathy at the elbow.[4, 5, 6, 7]
Bartels et al compared simple decompression with anterior subcutaneous transposition in 152 patients.[4] At 1-year follow-up, equivalent good or excellent clinical improvement was noted in both groups (65% decompression, 70% subcutaneous), though the transposition group had significantly higher rates of complications (10% decompression, 31% subcutaneous). An economic analysis of this trial revealed simple decompression cost significantly less than transposition, mainly owing to significantly shorter operative time and sick leave.[8]
Nabhan et al also examined simple decompression versus anterior subcutaneous transposition in a randomized controlled trial of 66 patients with 9-month follow-up.[7] The two procedures achieved similar improvements in clinical and nerve conduction velocities across the elbow.
Biggs and Curtis[5] and Gervasio et al[6] compared simple decompression with anterior submuscular transposition. At 1-year followup, Biggs and Curtis reported a nonsignificant difference in neurologic improvement between groups in their cohort of 44 patients (61% decompression, 67% submuscular), with a trend for deep wound infection in the transposition group (0% decompression, 14% submuscular).[5]
At 6-month follow-up, Gervasio et al reported a nonsignificant difference in good or excellent clinical and electrophysiologic outcomes between groups in their cohort of 70 patients (80% decompression, 83% submuscular), with no major complications observed.[6]
The data from these studies were cumulatively evaluated in a 2011 Cochrane review. The meta-analysis found that both simple decompression and anterior transposition procedures improve symptoms and nerve function and that no significant difference in postoperative clinical or electrophysiologic outcomes existed; however, transposition resulted in higher rates of deep and superficial wound infection.[9]
In summary, conservative therapy would be appropriate for patients with mild or moderate symptoms of ulnar neuropathy at the elbow. In more severe cases requiring surgical intervention, clinical improvement may be expected in approximately 70% of cases.[9] No one surgical technique has been shown to be superior to another.
In view of the evidence from these randomized controlled trials, there has been increasing advocacy for simple decompression as the operation of choice given its shorter operating time, potential economic benefits, and association with fewer complications.
In a 2014 study by Martin et al, 145 patients underwent retractor-endoscopic carpal tunnel release (n = 47), endoscopic in-situ decompression of the ulnar nerve (n = 55), or endoscopic anterior transposition of the ulnar nerve (n = 52) between 2000 and 2010; nine patients underwent bilateral procedures.[10] Both objective results (via independent examination at 24 months) and subjective results (via questionnaire) were recorded, as follows:
Endoscopic carpal tunnel release - 59.6% had excellent objective results, 21.2% good results, 12.8% fair results, and 6.4% poor results; 85% had subjective improvement
Endoscopic in-situ decompression - 56.4% had excellent objective results, 32.7% good results, 9.1% fair results, and 1.8% poor results; 72.7% had subjective improvement
Endoscopic anterior transposition of the ulnar nerve - 48.1% had excellent objective results, 26.9% good results, 23.1% fair results, and 1.9% poor results; 65.4% had subjective improvement
The investigators found that the retractor-endoscopic approach yielded good long-term results after carpal tunnel release, in-situ decompression, and anterior subcutaneous transposition of the ulnar nerve, with outcomes showing some correlation with the duration of preoperative symptoms.[10]

Mesa Doc Re-Arrested on New Sex Abuse Charges Following Lawyer's Claim He Wouldn't be Charged
We just got off the phone with Mesa Police Department Detective Steve Berry who tells us that not only are the three original sexual abuse charges against Dr. Gabriel Ogbonnaya still active, he was re-arrested on five additional complaints of sexual abuse, and two counts of sexual assault, this afternoon.
This comes just hours after his attorney, Jan Buescher -- who seems like she may be a graduate of the Gloria Allred school of media manipulation -- sent us an email saying Ogbonnaya would not be charged and chastising the Mesa Police Department for their mishandling of the case.
If you're not familiar with Ogbonnaya's case, click here.
According to Berry, Mesa police have received 25 calls about Ogbonnaya's alleged sexual abuse since his original arrest on June 9, which has led police to arrest him on the five additional counts of sexual abuse and the new sexual assault allegations.

Berry says the complaints are all fairly similar to the original accounts of the alleged abuse and none of the victims know each other.
That kind of puts to rest Buescher's original theory that the original two victims were friends conspiring to ruin the doctor.
According to court documents obtained by New Times, victims say Ogbonnaya, a doctor with the Healing Touch group, made sexual advances toward them -- including patting their vaginas and insisting they "have more sex" -- despite the victims being adamant that his behavior was unwanted.
The two additional counts of sexual assault, Berry says, come after one of the victims claims Ogbonnaya penetrated her with his finger after putting his hand down her pants during exams on two separate occasions.
Now that we've had a chance to crunch the numbers, Ogbonnaya now faces a total of eight counts of sexual abuse and two counts of sexual assault.
Several calls to Ogbonnaya's attorney's office have not been returned.

IRVINE, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 08/11/14 -- SecureAuth Corporation today launched SecureAuth IdP 8.0, the first access control solution that incorporates risk-based authentication -- analyzing and stopping attackers before they breach your environment. This new functionality in IdP enhances the multi-factor authentication workflows that can be easily built and integrated with existing corporate resources and policies for cloud, mobile and desktop access.
"Major security breaches have stayed in the headlines in 2014. Even today we're hearing about attackers stealing user credentials to disrupt businesses and governments for financial gain -- it's clear that password-based security is not enough," stated Pete Lindstrom, Research Director, Security Products, at International Data Corporation (IDC) research and advisory firm. "It's imperative for organizations to incorporate more intelligent security measures at the point of user authentication to prevent intrusions, yet it is equally important to balance strong security with the frictionless experience that users demand."
SecureAuth IdP 8.0 risk-based authentication includes four criteria to deliver an accurate threat assessment including: IP address, IP reputation using threat intelligence powered by Norse Corporation's DarkMatter network, group membership and geo-location/geo-velocity. IdP authentication workflows can include all four of these criteria chained together or a subset. At each point of inspection, there are four actions that can be taken: pass, challenge, redirect or fail. To a legitimate user, this analysis is transparent, ensuring that their user experience is preserved.
"SecureAuth IdP 8.0 equips organizations with a process to detect threats and prevent unauthorized access to corporate resources before a security breach occurs," commented Keith Graham, Chief Technology Officer at SecureAuth Corporation. "It seems as if daily there are news reports about yet another company being hacked, user credentials stolen, and personal data compromised. These on-going attacks mean organizations must step up their attempts to block attackers before they can do damage. SecureAuth is working hard to help our customers address their authentication challenges in this ever changing cyber threat landscape"
SecureAuth IdP 8.0 additional features and benefits include:
- A transformation engine that dynamically changes user attributes to meet custom mapping needs, removing the need to store and retain custom attributes in the data store
- Two-factor authentication support for Windows desktops and servers which increases protection for Windows administrative and user accounts.
- Account provisioning and synchronization that eliminates the need to manually manage user data in multiple locations
- A visual configurator that speeds the creation of IdP authentication workflows making deployment even faster
More information about SecureAuth IdP 8.0 can be found at [http://www.secureauth.com/idp-8/] . SecureAuth is demonstrating the solution at the Gartner Catalyst Conference in San Diego August 11 - 13, booth 107.
About SecureAuth
SecureAuth is a technology leader providing access control to mobile, cloud, web, and network resources, serving over 10 million users worldwide. The SecureAuth IdP all-in-one, completely scalable solution manages and enforces access based on existing user entitlements.

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. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

Moira's new CEO
Mark Henderson has been named Moira Shire's new Chief Executive Officer.FIONA BLICK April 1, 2014 4:30pm
Mr Henderson was previously the CEO of Mildura Rural City Council, a position from which he resigned last week.
Moira Shire Mayor Peter Mansfield said it had been a thorough recruitment process through independent management consultants and the councillors were "delighted" to announce Mr Henderson's appointment.
"Mark's experience running regional councils and his knowledge of agriculture and regional tourism will be invaluable to helping to grow the shire's economy," Cr Mansfield said.
"He has a reputation as a strong leader who develops top management teams and addresses tough issues."
Mr Mansfield said the Mayor of Mildura Rural City Council Glenn Milne described Mr Henderson's term at Mildura as fantastic based on the region's growth and the strength of the council's management team and finances.
"These qualities are important for Moira Shire and we look forward to welcoming Mark on board," he said.
Mr Henderson is expected to relocate this month and begin work at Moira Shire in May; Peter Bertolus will continue as acting CEO in the interim.
Mr Henderson spoke with Mildura Rural City Councillors after announcing his resignation saying he had decided to return to his home in the Victorian High Country to be closer to family and farming interests.
"My contract is up and I felt personally it was time to move on," Mr Henderson said.
"I have really enjoyed my time in Mildura, but I have a fabulous cattle property (near Myrtleford) to get back to and like most farms the fences won't repair themselves."
Mildura Mayor Glenn Milne praised Mr Henderson and said he was leaving the shire in a strong position financially and laid the foundations for further growth into the future.
"Mark has installed a strong team of managers who will continue to do their very best for our community each day," Cr Milne said.
"Even more importantly those managers have fantastic staff under them who keep things running day in and out.
"We certainly wish Mark all the best for the future – he has been the driving force behind a number of projects over the past three years and his leadership and guidance has really helped a number of our visions come to life."
During his term as CEO Mr Henderson oversaw projects such as the new arts centre, a massive upgrade of the city's drainage infrastructure, helped secure funding for the airport and riverfront and the recovery efforts after devastating flooding in February 2010.
"Mark also undertook a major restructure of council's services and staffing," said Cr Milne.
"We now run a very tight ship in terms of staff costs and are constantly undergoing sustainability reviews across departments to ensure ratepayers money is being spent wisely."
Born and educated in Melbourne, Mr Henderson's link with local government came early when his father was elected the local Mayor.
Mr Henderson has extensive professional experience in local government and has served as a Council CEO in regional cities in New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria including inaugural CEO at Alpine Shire, General Manager at Albury City Council and CEO at Hervey Bay City Council.
He has also overseen three council mergers as local government has evolved over time.
Mr Henderson lives with his partner, Helen, and he has three adult children.
The announcement of Mr Henderson as Moira's new CEO came after council voted to delegate this appointment to all nine councillors at the recent ordinary meeting in Wunghnu.
Prior to the selection of a CEO, a council must resolve to delegate the power of 'decision making' to either a special committee or the full council; in this instance Moira Shire Council decided on the full council option.
Following the early termination of former CEO Gary Arnold the process to recruit a new head of council staff was initiated in November 2013.
In a report tendered to council by Manager Corporate Governance David Booth and acting CEO Peter Bertolus, Jo Fisher and Associates were engaged to assist with the negotiation and recruitment of a new CEO.
Cr Ed Cox moved the recommendation for all nine councillors to appoint the new CEO and said "this is the most important decision we will face in our term of governance".
"I call upon my fellow councillors to work together," Cr Cox said.
"There will have to be a strong relationship between the new CEO and councillors.
"We need the CEO to be abreast of issues on both sides, councillors and staff.
"Moira Shire Council is facing the potential drain of senior staff so we really need a strong person to lead council."
Cr Marie Martin said it was vitally important the delegation to appoint the new CEO was all nine councillors.
"I am hopeful we will get a good outcome from this and it will be full steam ahead," Cr Martin said.
Acting CEO Peter Bertolus removed himself from the meeting during the discussion and vote for this recommendation citing conflict of interest issues as he had applied for the position of the new CEO.
