As organizations continue expanding their adoption of the public cloud, many IT and security professionals are beginning to see that they need improved cloud-monitoring and cloud-auditing capabilities. By cloud monitoring, I'm referring to the process of identifying cloud use within an organization and then evaluating if there are data privacy and/or compliance risks that need to be mitigated. Cloud monitoring includes the idea of fully understanding what clouds are being used and how employees are accessing and updating information, from where and when. This becomes more complicated with the proliferation of BYOD policies as well as the growing trend of Shadow IT groups within corporations that assist business units in deploying clouds without "Official" IT knowing about it. But steps can still be taken to manage the operational and legal risks associated with sending sensitive data outside of the corporation's firewall while simultaneously enabling operating units to use the cloud as required to drive business results.
Cloud Discovery
The first important aspect of cloud monitoring is called cloud discovery - which is simply getting a better handle on what clouds are being accessed from within your organization on a daily basis. Many cloud programs are large, have significant budgets and broad governance and oversight (companywide deployments of HR applications like SuccessFactors as an example). But some use is individual and/or department based (such as Box or DropBox), and IT professionals need a way to identify this cloud use as a first step to ensuring it is being used in a compliant fashion.
Cloud Visibility and Analysis
Another important facet of cloud monitoring is cloud visibility (or cloud analysis), which primarily means giving organizations a clearer look into how the clouds accessed from within their enterprise are being used. Which individuals or teams are accessing what specific types of data and documents... this needs to be understood by members of IT, Risk and Security so the appropriate controls can be put in place to protect the enterprise. An additional benefit of Visibility and Analysis tools is in the area of SLA auditing. Organizations can use the information now at their disposal to measure how effective cloud providers are being in providing contracted levels of service.
Completing the Picture - Protecting Non-Compliant Cloud Use
The last step of a successful cloud monitoring program needs to focus on ensuring that enterprise cloud use remains compliant with corporate guidelines (which are informed by internal security policies and any applicable regulatory guidelines). Some cloud use may not require any additional security protocols, but others likely will. Enterprise Security and IT teams can take multiple approaches to securing their data on the cloud while permitting appropriate access by their corporate users. It means being able to anticipate issues and proactively address them while enabling uninterrupted use of the most popular cloud services. Solutions such as those highlighted in Gartner's Cloud Access Security Broker framework can be particularly helpful here, including Cloud Data Control Gateways (i.e., Cloud Encryption Gateways) that can be used to encrypt or tokenize sensitive data before it goes to the cloud for processing and storage.

We used a variety of subjects and color modes, and ISOs from 100 to 800. Click through to get an idea of the image quality this new large sensor compact can deliver.

Just Posted: Our review of the Fujifilm FinePix F200 EXR. Fujifilm has built up a reputation for following its own path when it comes to sensor technology, which has resulted in cameras such as the F30, F31fd and S5 Pro that have developed devoted followings. Now we have the FinePix F200 EXR, the first camera to incorporate the company's Super CCD EXR technology. So does this latest wizardry live up to the promises of improved low-light performance and greater dynamic range? And, just as importantly, what's the camera like to use? Find out the answer to both questions in our in-depth review.

Following our recent tests featuring many of the wideangle zooms currently on the market, we turn our attention to Pentax's latest design: a compact wideangle prime for APS-C DSLRs. As a member of Pentax's 'Limited' range, it has the undeniable attraction of finely-engineered aluminium construction, but does the quality of the optics match the build?

GOP Congressman's Shutdown Explanation: Democrats Closed The Government To Fundraise
The Arizona Congressman also recently tweeted that the White House was trying to shut down the ocean.
Arizona Republican Rep. David Schweikert has a unique explanation for the government shutdown: Democrats did it to fundraise. Speaking in an interview with KTVK news in Arizona over the weekend, the Republican Congressman said that Democrats have kept the government shut down in under to raise money.
"If you really want to dig down into what's really going on at base level, the rumor all around Capitol Hill, it's that this has become a fundraising opportunity," Schweikert said responding to question if the shutdown was over Obamacare. "I know this sounds one off, but the reality of it, much of the speechifying, as we call it, you see going on the floor of the House on the Democrat side has been loading up their coffers with online contributions and it's incredibly cynical because you start to think of why would someone be motivated not to even assign a conference committee just to have a conversation?"
Schweikert also recently tweeted that President Obama was trying to close the ocean because of the government shutdown. The independent fact-checking site Politifact derided the claim as "false."

A range of test shots are shown over the next few pages. Here, the full size image has been reduced for bandwidth purposes, and a crop taken from the original full resolution image has been placed below it in order for you to gain an appreciation of the overall quality. The following pages consist of resized images so that you can evaluate the overall exposure. For those with a dial-up connection, please be patient while the pages download.
As you would expect at 64 ISO, there's no noise corrupting the image.
At 100 ISO things are still looking pretty good.
At 200 ISO the image starts to look a little over-processed on close inspection, perhaps due to over zealous noise reduction.
At 400 ISO CCD noise becomes aparant, showing the V610's limitations compared to a good digital SLR.
At 800 ISO the result is pretty much unusable, but then few compact cameras can get away with an ISO setting this high.

One of the most dramatic tales came from lower Manhattan, where a failed backup generator forced New York University's Langone Medical Center to relocate more than 200 patients, including 20 babies from neonatal intensive care. Dozens of ambulances lined up in the rainy night and the tiny patients were gingerly moved out, some attached to battery-powered respirators as gusts of wind blew their blankets.
In Moonachie, N.J., 10 miles north of Manhattan, water rose to 5 feet within 45 minutes and trapped residents who thought the worst of the storm had passed. Mobile-home park resident Juan Allen said water overflowed a 2-foot wall along a nearby creek, filling the area with 2 to 3 feet of water within 15 minutes. "I saw trees not just knocked down but ripped right out of the ground," he said. "I watched a tree crush a guy's house like a wet sponge."
In a measure of its massive size, waves on southern Lake Michigan rose to a record-tying 20.3 feet. High winds spinning off Sandy's edges clobbered the Cleveland area early Tuesday, uprooting trees, closing schools and flooding major roads along Lake Erie.
Most along the East Coast, though, grappled with an experience like Bertha Weismann of Bridgeport, Conn.— frightening, inconvenient and financially problematic but, overall, endurable. Her garage was flooded and she lost power, but she was grateful. "I feel like we are blessed," she said. "It could have been worse."
The presidential candidates' campaign maneuverings Tuesday revealed the delicacy of the need to look presidential in a crisis without appearing to capitalize on a disaster. President Barack Obama canceled a third straight day of campaigning, scratching events scheduled for Wednesday in swing-state Ohio, in Sandy's path. Republican Mitt Romney resumed his campaign with plans for an Ohio rally billed as a "storm relief event."
And the weather posed challenges a week out for how to get everyone out to vote. On the hard-hit New Jersey coastline, a county elections chief said some polling places on barrier islands will be unusable and have to be moved.
"This is the biggest challenge we've ever had," said George R. Gilmore, chairman of the Ocean County Board of Elections.
By Tuesday afternoon, there were still only hints of the economic impact of the storm.
Forecasting firm IHS Global Insight predicted the storm will end up causing about $20 billion in damages and $10 billion to $30 billion in lost business. Another firm, AIR Worldwide, estimated losses up to $15 billion — big numbers probably offset by reconstruction and repairs that will contribute to longer-term growth.
"The biggest problem is not the first few days but the coming months," said Alan Rubin, an expert in nature disaster recovery.
Airports were shut across the East Coast and far beyond as tens of thousands of travelers found they couldn't get where they were going. John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York and Newark International Airport in New Jersey will reopen at 7 a.m. Wednesday with limited service, but LaGuardia Airport will stay closed, officials said.
Sandy began in the Atlantic and knocked around the Caribbean — killing nearly 70 people — and strengthened into a hurricane as it chugged across the southeastern coast of the United States. By Tuesday night it had ebbed in strength but was joining up with another, more wintry storm — an expected confluence of weather systems that earned it nicknames like "superstorm" and, on Halloween eve, "Frankenstorm."
It became, pretty much everyone agreed Tuesday, the weather event of a lifetime — and one shared vigorously on social media by people in Sandy's path who took eye-popping photographs as the storm blew through, then shared them with the world by the blue light of their smartphones.
On Twitter, Facebook and the photo-sharing service Instagram, people tried to connect, reassure relatives and make sense of what was happening — and, in many cases, work to authenticate reports of destruction and storm surges. They posted and passed around images and real-time updates at a dizzying rate, wishing each other well and gaping, virtually, at scenes of calamity moments after they unfolded. Among the top terms on Facebook through the night and well into Tuesday, according to the social network: "we are OK," ''made it" and "fine."

JAPAN: Kanematsu to sell 55% textile share to Li & Fung
By just-style.com | 6 March 2007
Kanematsu Corp has reached an agreement to sell a 55% stake in wholly-owned subsidiary Kanematsu Textile Corporation to the investment arm of Hong Kong-based trading group Li & Fung.
Kanematsu hopes the investment can strengthen KTC's product development and international sourcing capabilities, it said.
Kanematsu Corp, founded in 1889, said that KTC was one of Japan's leading textile and apparel companies - with a consolidated annual turnover in 2006 of over US$450m.
"During the past year we have been discussing a strategic partnership that will bring significant advantages to our customers," said Mr Tadashi Kurachi, chairman of the Kanematsu Corporation.
"With changes in the Japanese apparel market, we want to strengthen KTC's ability to better support the increasingly complex and time-sensitive needs of our customers by improving product development and international sourcing capabilities."
KTC will retain its name and its management will continue to be led by Hiroshi Ishikawa as president and member of the board of directors. Dr Victor Fung will become chairman of the board of directors of KTC.
Li & Fung is also the controlling shareholder of Hong Kong listed Li & Fung Ltd, Integrated Distribution Services Group and Convenience Retail Asia. The combined turnover and profit of its three publicly listed companies totalled US$8,207m and US$253m respectively in 2005.
"Our goal is to maximise the business opportunities between KTC and all our group companies, and in particular, exports to the Japanese market conducted through Li & Fung Limited," said Fung. "We will work closely with the management of KTC to forge a strong partnership over time to meet the changing needs of our customers in Japan."
The new ownership structure is expected to commence in April 2007.

Hi beautiful dolls ! This is without a surprise to you that I am back styling an off the shoulder dress. As I said in one of my last outfit of the day, this type of dress/top is now my favourite. I love how it shows some skin while looking cute and chic and not overly sexy.
I had my eye on this dress from Shein.com for such a long time now ! I love how oversized it is. The material is super light and high quality. I was feeling so comfortable walking around Saint Michel, Paris, under 30°C. The cute ruffles on the shoulder add a lovely layer to the dress, making it more unique. I especially fell in love with the pattern that looks just blue from a distance. This dress can be worn with some cute heels or dressed down like I did with my Nike Air Force 1 to stay comfortable. I still added my Yves Saint Laurent tassel bag that seem to fit with everything, even a 20€ dress !
The delivery was as usual super quick and I was very excited to see that again, the item I received looked exactly like the photo on the website ! The size was really good. I usually go for a size L but since it seemed quite oversized already, I tried an M and don't regret it. I already worn it so many times, I love this dress so much ! This it the type of clothing that you can put on for a date or just to go run errands on a hot Summer day !
In general the delivery was super quick, I'm very happy with the quality, it looked just like the photo. And of course, this dress which is super affordable made me feel beautiful and comfortable ! No regrets from Shein.com !
Let me know if you ever shopped on Shein.com, what d you think ? And what do you think about this dress ? I wish you a lovely day !

Providing local support to Navy customer.
Austal has announced the opening of Austal USA's Washington DC Operations Office at 100 M Street, SE, Suite 310. The facility will allow Austal Government Programs and Business Development personnel to use the location as a base of Washington DC operations.
The new Washington office director, Mr. Ronald Mahaffey, is a veteran of Huntington-Ingalls Shipbuilding, where he served as Director of Surface Combatant Operations. Prior to that assignment, Ron spent nearly 14 years in the post-delivery environment, working in the Ingalls Planning Yard on both the DD 963 and CG 47 programs. Ron retired from the Navy in 1989 as a Chief Warrant Officer (CWO4) with over 30 years of expertise in the electronics field. The Business Development team will be represented by Mr. Mike Webster, who transferred from his post as Chief Naval Architect to serve as the Washington Office's Technical and Business Development Manager.
"We have great people here," said Mr. Rella, "and now we have a great facility to support them as they work to more efficiently support our Navy customer in Washington." Austal was selected as prime contractor in November 2008 to design and build the first Joint High Speed Vessel (JHSV), with options for nine additional vessels expected to be exercised between FY09 and FY13 as part of a program potentially worth over US$1.6 billion.
The JHSV is a relatively new asset in the American arsenal, capable of transporting medium-size operational units with their vehicles, allowing warfighters to transit long distances while maintaining unit integrity. Each JHSV also supports helicopter operations and has a slewing vehicle ramp on the starboard quarter which enables use of austere piers and quay walls, common in developing countries. A shallow draft (under 4 meters) will further enhance theater port access.
USNS Spearhead (JHSV 1) was christened on September 17 and is preparing for builders' trials in the near future. Austal held a keel laying ceremony for Choctaw County (JHSV 2), which is under construction in the final assembly bay, in early November. Congressman Jo Bonner (R-AL) recently joined Austal officials in commemorating the official start of fabrication for JHSV 3 which is scheduled for delivery in 2013. JHSV 3 is the fourth naval vessel to be constructed at Austal using the new procedures and processes developed in conjunction with Austal's Module Manufacturing Facility (MMF). The MMF provides Austal with assembly line efficiency, which has resulted in significant cost savings and reduced lead times for both of our Navy programs.
Austal USA is also currently preparing to launch a second Independence-variant 127-meter Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) class vessel for the U.S. Navy, Coronado (LCS 4). USS Independence (LCS 2) is currently being put through trials by her crew. As prime contractor for the next LCS 10-ship contract, awarded by the U.S. Navy at the end of 2010, Austal has also begun work on the first ship of that contract, Jackson (LCS 6), with Montgomery (LCS 8) also under contract.
With its 13-year anniversary approaching, Austal has grown into one of southern Alabama's largest employers with over 2,400 employees on staff hailing from the Mobile Area, Mississippi, Florida, and beyond. Under the current workload, Austal expects to employ over 4,000 Americans by the end of 2013, and will be ready to help the U.S. Navy meet any national security contingency ahead.

Steve Stanek interviews co-author, Machael Lafaive, from the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, regarding his recent study entitled, "Economic Growth and Right to Work Laws". The study contains an analysis of the positive economic implications of Right-to-Work Laws, which assert that one cannot be compelled to join or support a union. In the 24 states that have adopted the Right-to-Work Laws, the report finds after accounting for proxy variables, that totally employment, personal income and population increase after a state adopted these laws. The bonus implication of these laws is that an individual's liberty is maximized by allowing voluntary association.

(updated 6:20 p.m. EST): Brunette after Wild's 6 p.m. meeting: "Looks like we're going to try to play, I guess."
(updated): Just talked to a bunch of players. They have a 6 p.m. EST meeting at their hotel with the team. There's lot of concern about playing in new equipment. It's not just a feel thing (it takes players weeks to break in equipment), but a safety thing. Knee braces and stuff like that were destroyed. How do you just throw a new knee brace on a player without making sure it fits properly? More soon.
Details are sketchy right now, but the Wild's equipment truck caught fire today destroying much of the Wild's equipment. Here are pictures courtesy of a couple tweeters.
The Wild practiced at the Kanata Rec Center this afternoon in suburban Ottawa. After a short drive back to the Scotiabank place, trainers apparently got out in the parking lot and noticed the back smoky. When they opened up the back of the truck, much of the equipment was on fire.
Firefighters were called to put out the blaze, but much was destroyed. Police are investigating the cause of the fire, but equipment trainers have no clue.
"It was a five-minute drive," said bewildered head equipment trainer Tony DaCosta.
This is obviously unprecedented and the team is in complete scramble mode. Remember, in practice, players use their game gear, just not their normal game sweaters.
Assistant equipment trainer Brent Proulx is rushing back to Minnesota to gather equipment and bring it here tomorrow on a flight leaving 5:30 a.m., but the team is also on the phone with the league to determine what can be done regarding the game.
It is not easy for hockey players to just change equipment, and much of the gear was completely destroyed.
GM Chuck Fletcher emailed me that he's scrambling right now and will be in touch with me in a little bit.
More to come.
Statement from team:
"There was a fire in an equipment van in the parking lot at Scotiabank Place this afternoon. No one was injured, but some of the Minnesota Wild's hockey equipment was damaged. The Wild is in the process of taking inventory to determine the damage to the equipment. Minnesota is scheduled to play at Ottawa Saturday at 6:00 p.m."

Justin Bieber to Carmelo Anthony, via Twitter: I wanna cross you over
Guess which teen heartthrob wants to chat up Carmelo Anthony when he's in town for a concert tomorrow? None other than Justin Bieber, the throbbiest heartthrob since that swishy-bang-ed kid from High School Musical, Dreamy McDreamEyes.
Earlier today, Bieber tweeted Melo's bride-to-be, Lala Vazquez, with a request: "Yo @lalavazquez tell @carmeloanthony I'm in Denver and I wanna cross him over.. Tweet me if u guys r in town."
Them guys are not in town -- because they're in New York, preparing to get hitched on Saturday. But Lala found time in her busy schedule to hit him back, anyway.
Lol!U don't want it!Dm me ur info ill have him hit u up! RT @justinbieber: Yo @lalavazquez tell MELO I'm in Denver &I wanna cross him over

Then she sent a tweet that confirms our suspicions: Lala suffers from Bieber Fever.
*feeling all excited like a kid again* @justinbieber just tweeted me..now I have to tell @carmeloanthony to go easy on him.. Hehehe
But what exactly does Justin Bieber want to talk to Melo about? Maybe it has something to do with a possible trade from the Nuggets. Perhaps Bieber, who's Canadian, wants to pressure Melo to join the Toronto Raptors. Or maybe, like brand-new Knick Amare Stoudemire, he wants to push Melo to return to New York.
Or maybe he wants him to become a floppy-haired teen idol.
Whatever his request, I sure would like to be a fly on the wall during that conversation.
Justin Bieber: Baby/ baby/ baby /ohhh /I thought you'd always be-a mine!
Melo: Ummm...

Senate Republican's Website Violated Senate Rules With Facebook Link
Tennessee Republican Senator Lamar Alexander's official website linked to his campaign Facebook page. When BuzzFeed noticed, it was promptly removed.
Tennessee Republican Sen. Lamar Alexander's website included a link to his campaign's Facebook account, a violation of Senate rules. Senate rules say "the placement of logos or links used for personal, promotional, commercial, or partisan political/campaign purposes is prohibited."
BuzzFeed made an inquiry with the Senate rules committee about the specific violation, shortly after which the Senator's website was changed to link to his non-campaign Senate Facebook.
A spokesman for Senator Alexander said, "A recently updated link inadvertently directed website visitors to a non-official Facebook page rather than an official Facebook page. When it was discovered that the link was tied to the wrong site, it was corrected."
2. This is the Facebook page Alexander's website linked to as of Monday:
3. Here's the one it links to now:
- Today's the final day of the Democratic National Convention — Hillary Clinton is preparing for the biggest night of her life 🇺🇸
- Plotters of Turkey's failed coup were unhappy with the government's attempt to make peace with Kurdish separatist rebels, a document obtained by BuzzFeed News shows.
- More than 29,000 people have signed a petition for British scientists to keep access to EU projects after Brexit.
