From The Ground Up - Too Much Rain Not As Bad As Drought
Updated: 01/09/2016 - While excessive rain does produce problems, most ranchers will tell you that they'd rather deal with the rain than a drought.
Updated: 01/09/2016 - While excessive rain does produce problems, most ranchers will tell you that they'd rather deal with the rain than a drought.
Updated: 01/09/2016 - After several days of sunshine many farmers are busy in the field with an overdue wheat harvest that was delayed by excessive rains in May. Glenn Hegar farms in Hockley.
Updated: 01/09/2016 - After what the 2011 drought did to the cattle industry, you might think that one of Mother Nature's winners so far this year would be ranchers, but the excessive amount of rain we've received produces a different set of problems.
Updated: 01/09/2016 - When hay producers can mix fertilization and timely rains on an established hay meadow, they can expect the result will be a good quality hay cutting.
Updated: 01/09/2016 - With the new drought of record being as recent as 2011, it's hard to find an agricultural producer who's eager to complain about the amount of rainfall we've received, but some locations in our area have received more than seventy-five per cent of our normal rainfall in the first five months of this year.
Updated: 01/09/2016 - This summer, the Environmental Protection Agency is due to come out with their final rules that deal with existing and new power plants.
Updated: 01/09/2016 - More than two- hundred projects were submitted by FFA and 4-H students from across the state during Blinn College's Fourteenth Annual Ag Mechanics Project Show that was held last week in Brenham. Johnnie Schroeder teaches agricultural mechanics and engineering at Blinn College.
Updated: 01/09/2016 - Historically, the Environmental Protection Agency's jurisdiction in regulating water has been confined to "Navigable Waters of the U.S.
Updated: 01/09/2016 - Ground beef in the American diet makes up forty per cent of our beef consumption, whether it's in a hamburger, or some other dish.
Updated: 01/09/2016 - In the 1980s some studies showed that oleic acid would decrease bad cholesterol and increase good cholesterol. The question that then began to be asked was what could be done to beef to change fatty acid composition, and increase the amount of oleic acid.
Updated: 01/09/2016 - Wherever you are in Central Texas, it's a safe bet you're ahead on rainfall for the year. That's delayed the planting of the 2015 corn crop. Dale Hoelscher farms with his brother in Bell, Milam, Falls, and Robertson Counties.
Updated: 01/09/2016 - A country that has food security is one with a population that has enough to eat. A country that has food safety enjoys a food supply that is safe to eat. Thanks to a robust agricultural industry, U.S. consumers have experienced the benefits of both food security and food safety for a very long time. Larry Combest served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1985 until 2003.
Updated: 01/09/2016 - Last month the Texas Ag Forum was held in Austin, and ag producers were urged to help forge an urban-rural coalition of interest by continuing to tell their stories to consumers.

Updated: 01/09/2016 - Most consumers pay no attention to farm commodity prices. After all, how much wheat really is there in a loaf of bread? So even if wheat prices are high, it really shouldn't have that dramatic of an effect on how much that bread costs. But what if the price was so low, nobody planted wheat? Then, it might matter to us what the price of that wheat was at the farm level. Mark Welch is a Texas A&M Agrilife Extension economist.
Updated: 01/09/2016 - From the Ground Up - Farming Requires Optimism Most of us who work for a living would find it hard to go to work every day if the boss called us in and told us he couldn't promise us that we were always going to get a pay check.

Updated: 01/09/2016 - Year after year farmers are encouraged to produce bigger yields with less inputs and that includes everything from land and water to pesticides and fertilizer.
Updated: 01/09/2016 - Agricultural Producers not only provide us with the food we enjoy to celebrate holidays, but they also provide many of the raw materials that are used to make gifts that are given this time of the year.
Updated: 01/09/2016 - It's projected that by 2060 the State of Texas will need 8.3 million acre feet of water that we don't currently have, and the big question facing state officials and planners is where will that water come from?

The Best Security KPIs Are the Ones That Matter to Your C-Suite
May 25, 2016 | Leave a Comment
By Susan Richardson, Manager/Content Strategy, Code42
What information security KPIs are you tracking? Are they tied specifically to your organization's business goals? If not, consider that using predictive business performance metrics could help increase your organization's profitability—by as much as 20% over three years, according to one Gartner study.
To help you develop more relevant security performance indicators, here are some suggestions from the experts:
Make them meaningful to executives
Start by considering what matters most to executives:
- Meeting organizational goals
- Maintaining efficient, uninterrupted operational processes
- Fostering a positive public image
- Complying with regulations and contractual obligations
- Managing risks
Don't focus on cost metrics
"Security guys are always talking about cost," said Steve Durbin, managing director of the Information Security Forum (ISF), in a CIO magazine interview. "If we realign this, the security guys can now go to the business and say, 'Look, if this is what is important to you, this is the role I can play in helping you protect that, but I don't have the funding for a variety of reasons.' The business can then make the call as to whether to find the funding for that problem. It's no longer the security guy's problem, it's the business's problem."
Use leading vs. lagging metrics
A lagging indicator measures actual results, our outputs, so it's too late to make corrections or improvements. A leading indicator looks at activities necessary to achieve your goals, so they're essentially inputs that provide information needed to intervene and change course for the better. For example, the number of viruses reported after a new software implementation is a lagging indicator, whereas the number of virus updates implemented prior to implementation shows action taken to drive launch success and improve user productivity.
Evaluate the effectiveness of your proposed metrics
Thankfully, there's a tool for that. The ASIS Foundation sponsored a major security metrics research project, and one of the outcomes was a Security Metrics Evaluation Tool that security managers can use to assess the quality of specific security metrics. The written tool helps you analyze the effectiveness of a metric against nine criteria, including its relevance to the organization's strategic mission, how easily it can be communicated and its reliability. The tool is in the Appendix of the research report, "Persuading Senior Management with Effected, Evaluated Security Metrics."

Bridging the Divide Between CISOs and IT Decision Makers
May 20, 2016 | Leave a Comment
By Rick Orloff, Chief Security Officer, Code42
In a large organization, leaders create a vision and strategy for the business and employees work to achieve the vision. At the business unit level in information technology, CIOs, CSOs and CISOs define their strategies while other IT decision makers work to implement it. The key to success is a team working in unison with effective strategies and KPI's. But this might be a case of "theory vs practice."
When we surveyed 400 IT decision makers (ITDMs) for our 2016 Datastrophe Study, we discovered that CISOs, CIOs and other IT decision makers often diverge in the real world in terms of everyday data security implementation and addressing real-world issues such as BYOD policy administration, reputation management and insider threats. That's the scary reality of the unseen divide: when the people who are meant to protect the enterprise do not agree, then the CXO's need to step up and lead.
The Datastrophe Study reveals several specific drivers contributing to the disconnect between C-level and other IT decision makers and ways in which businesses can bridge the gap.
Image issues
Data breaches are hitting organizations left, right and center, and there is little doubt that brands' reputations are at stake. CISOs, with their executive hats on, spend their time on risk mitigation: more than half of CISO/CIOs (53%) say their ability to protect corporate and customer data is vital to their company's brand and reputation. However, only two fifths (43%) of ITDMs share that focus.
While the Datastrophe Study reveals a 10% difference between leaders and decision makers, when it comes to sensitive data, even a little complacency can lead to security failures. This may be an issue of operational efficiencies being developed without using a secure framework. Data security needs to be part of the design starting with strategy at the CXO (horizontal) level and vertically with tactical execution.
In order to ensure that risk and the potential of reputational damage is reasonably mitigated, C-level and ITDMs need to work in concert. ITDMs have the clearest view of incumbent systems and employee behaviors—and should not be afraid to speak up. Equally, C-level executives need to take this information on board, if not back to the Board, in order to help ITDMs fulfill the vision of building a secure enterprise.
The insider threat is very real
All security professionals will agree that the insider threat is a reality in any business. But it seems that CISOs, CIOs and other ITDMs have not aligned on the scope and magnitude of the threat or the threat vectors. Sixty-four percent of CISOs and CIOs believe that insider data security threats will increase in the next twelve months. Only 50% of other ITDMs agree with them.
Is the view from the top—with a focus on protecting the organization and brand—skewing reality? Or, with the day-to-day liaison between ITDMs and employees, could it simply be that ITDMs lack the proactive (instead of traditional detective) tools required to provide real-time situational awareness? Even so, if they haven't aligned on the threat vectors, the probability is very high that ITDM's aren't aligned on what to measure or monitor. There is, today, a potential tendency for both parties to underestimate threats. A study by Forrester reported that 70% of data breaches could be traced to employee negligence. In order to overcome the insider threat, the C-level and all other ITDMs have to agree on the best strategic course forward. More importantly, both parties need to engage employees and help to educate them on behaviors that could lead to data breach. For example, C-level execs could use a workshop format to explain to employees the costs and damages caused by employee negligence, while ITDMs can provide practical tips and examples of how to actively avoid behaviors that put data at risk.
Anomaly at the endpoint
In an increasingly mobile workplace, BYOD is a key driver for adoption of policies to manage employee-owned devices connected to organizational networks. But things are never as simple as they seem. Among the normally skeptical CISO/CIOs, 87% believe their companies have clearly defined BYOD policies in place. Meanwhile, only 65% of ITDMs say their organizations have defined BYOD policies. To add more contention to the mix, 67% of knowledge workers (employees who think for a living and engage with mobile devices daily), believe their companies have no apparent BYOD policies.
This disconnect is a major cause for concern: CISOs/CIOs believe that 47% of corporate data is held on endpoint devices, as opposed to the more moderate estimation of 43% by other ITDMs. It's clear that C-level and ITDMs need to work collaboratively to clarify, communicate and implement well-defined BYOD policies.
The simple solution to bridging the gap? Better communication. CISO/CIOs need to talk to their teams and their teams need to talk back. Better alignment and integration between the vision and the reality will go a long way to building more secure enterprises.
Addressing Cloud Security Concerns in the Enterprise
May 18, 2016 | Leave a Comment
By David Lucky, Director of Product Management, Datapipe
Businesses want to move to the cloud, they really do. And more than ever, they're starting to make the switch: A Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) study that polled more than 200 IT professionals found that 71.2 percent of companies now have a formal process for users to request new cloud services.
That CSA study also found that nearly two-thirds of IT professionals trust the security of cloud computing equally or even more than their on-premise systems. About a third of respondents cited better security capabilities to be a benefit of the cloud. However, almost 68 percent of respondents noted the ability to enforce their corporate security policies remains a barrier to cloud adoption.
Companies know there's top-notch security in the cloud, yet security remains the biggest hurdle in getting over to the cloud. Kind of a catch-22, huh? Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to help assuage these fears.
Cloud security is something everyone in a company should be concerned with, not just the IT department or decision-makers. And while the tools we use are improving and more people are starting to better understand cloud computing, people still play a big part in security. Your team of security professionals should get the correct training early on in their tenure, and constant training will allow them keep their skills sharp.
Outside of security professionals, all employees within a company should know their role in maintaining a secure environment. Having a proactive approach to security risks is the first step, which is something that 82.2 percent of companies have. However, fewer than half of the companies that responded have a complete incident response plan. With real concerns like loss of reputation or trust, financial loss, and destruction of data, it's imperative to have a plan in place to combat any potential security issues head-on, rather than reacting after the fact.
To help with the development of that plan, some businesses have turned to a managed service provider (MSP). Naturally, there are concerns surrounding that, as well–the CSA report notes 87.3 percent of companies cite access control as an important asset of cloud security. Our Datapipe Access Control Model for AWS (DACMA) addresses this concern by letting a business stay in control by securely delegating access to Datapipe while retaining control of their credentials. DACMA's role-based access and accountability elements also ensure the right people within an enterprise are accessing certain data. And with 24/7/365 security monitoring, you'll be on top of the ball should an issue arise.
Whether or not you choose to partner with an MSP to assist with security, there are plenty of reasons to develop a cloud security strategy that works within your enterprise. There's no one right method, but there is a wrong approach: not doing anything about it. To learn more about first steps you can take, visit our Managed Security page.
Cloud Computing: A Little Less Cloudy
May 16, 2016 | Leave a Comment
By Christina McGhee, Manager/FedRAMP Technical Lead, Schellman
Today, consumers have an increasing interest in implementing cloud solutions to process and store their data. They are looking to take advantage of the benefits provided by cloud computing, including flexibility, cost savings, and availability. Fortunately, there are many cloud solutions available to consumers, touting cloud computing features such as multi-tenancy, virtualization, or increased collaboration. But is it really a cloud service?
With the rapid growth of these types of solutions, consumers and other interested organizations want to identify whether a service is actually a cloud service.
In actuality, there is such thing as a cloud service. It has a definition and we have seen federal agencies require cloud service providers to justify why their service is considered a cloud service.
The five essential cloud characteristics are based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) definition of cloud computing in Special Publication (SP) 800-145. Here, NIST defines cloud computing as a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction.
According to NIST SP 800-145, a cloud service employs all of the following five characteristics:
- On-demand self-service – A consumer can unilaterally provision computing capabilities, such as server time and network storage, as needed automatically without requiring human interaction with each service provider.
- Broad network access – Capabilities are available over the network and accessed through standard mechanisms that promote use by heterogeneous thin or thick client platforms (e.g., mobile phones, tablets, laptops, and workstations).
- Resource pooling – The provider's computing resources are pooled to serve multiple consumers using a multi-tenant model, with different physical and virtual resources dynamically assigned and reassigned according to consumer demand. There is a sense of location independence in that the customer generally has no control or knowledge over the exact location of the provided resources but may be able to specify location at a higher level of abstraction (e.g., country, state, or datacenter). Examples of resources include storage, processing, memory, and network bandwidth.
- Rapid elasticity – Capabilities can be elastically provisioned and released, in some cases automatically, to scale rapidly outward and inward commensurate with demand. To the consumer, the capabilities available for provisioning often appear to be unlimited and can be appropriated in any quantity at any time.
- Measured service – Cloud systems automatically control and optimize resource use by leveraging a metering capability at some level of abstraction appropriate to the type of service (e.g., storage, processing, bandwidth, and active user accounts). Resource usage can be monitored, controlled, and reported, providing transparency for both the provider and consumer of the utilized service.
Whether you are a cloud service provider, consumer, or other interested party, it is important to identify how the cloud service offering meets each of the five essential characteristics. For example, cloud service providers in the FedRAMP authorization process usually document how their service meets each of the five essential cloud computing characteristics in their System Security Plan (SSP).
It goes without saying that regardless of whether or not a service meets the definition of a cloud service, the cloud service provider and consumer must always plan and prepare for the security risks associated with providing or using a the cloud service and the types of data the cloud service will consume. The cloud service provider is responsible for selecting a security program framework to implement security controls specific for cloud environments and the data protection requirements of their customers. Equally, the consumer must be fully aware of the data they plan to process and/or store with the cloud service and their responsibilities to protect that data.
Providing Trust and Assurance Through Cloud Certification and Attestation: A Complimentary CSA STAR Program Webinar by Schellman
May 12, 2016 | Leave a Comment
ByAvani Desai, Executive Vice President, Schellman
In the last 24 months, the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) has made great strides in enhancing their CSA Security, Trust and Assurance Registry (STAR) Program. In brief, the STAR Program is a publicly available registry designed to recognize assurance requirements and maturity levels of cloud service providers (CSPs). Prior to issuing the guidance for STAR Certification and STAR Attestation, a CSP could only perform a self-assessment, which meant completing the Consensus Assessments Initiative questionnaire (CAIQ) and making the responses publicly available on the CSA Register. The CAIQ was completed in several different ways and the content varied from short answers to full-page responses. It was relevant information but not independently validated. This created a path for the STAR Certification and STAR Attestation Programs.
Join Schellman during a complimentary webinar titled "CSA STAR Program: Attestation and Certification". The webinar will be held on May 13th from 12:00pm EST to 1:00pm EST and will provide one (1) hour of CPE. Debbie Zaller, Schellman Principal, and Ryan Mackie, Practice Leader, STAR Program, will provide an in-depth discussion on the opportunities to undergo third party assessments, through the CSA STAR Programs, to validate maturity level or control activities.
Organizations, specifically cloud service providers, are continuously working to provide confidence to their customers regarding the security and operating effectiveness of their controls supporting the cloud and the STAR Certification and STAR Attestation options provided by the CSA allow for these organizations to further establish confidence in the market," said Ryan Mackie. "This webinar is a practical introduction to the STAR Level 2 offerings, outlining their benefits, requirements, and process, and how these types of third party validation can clearly compliment a cloud provider's governance and risk management system."
This informative webinar will provide:
- An overview and journey of the CSA STAR Programs
- A definition of the CCM framework
- An overview of the Certification and Attestation purpose and scope
- The process and preparations
- A discussion of the common challenges and benefits

Outdated Privacy Act Close to Getting an Upgrade
May 12, 2016 | Leave a Comment
By Susan Richardson, Manager/Content Strategy, Code42
The outdated Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) may finally get a much-needed upgrade, but the reform can't come soon enough for Microsoft, other cloud providers and privacy advocates. Here's what you need to know:
The issues:
The ECPA was enacted in 1986, as electronic communication started to become more prevalent. The intent was to extend federal restrictions on government wiretaps from telephones to computer communications. But as we created other electronic communication devices and moved content to the cloud, the Act became outdated. The primary gripes are that it:
- Allows government agencies to request emails more than 180 days old with just an administrative subpoena, which the agency itself can issue, vs. having to get a warrant from a judge.
- Doesn't require notifying affected customers when their data is being requested, giving them a chance to challenge the data demand. In fact, the Act includes a non-disclosure provision that can specifically prohibit providers from notifying customers.
The lobbying and lawsuits:
Plenty of wide-ranging groups have been advocating for ECPA reform, including the American Civil Liberties Union, the Center for Democracy & Technology, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the Digital Due Process Coalition, the Direct Marketing Association and even the White House, in its 2014 Big Data Report.
On April 14, Microsoft added a little more weight to its argument. The company filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Justice Department, suing for the right to tell its customers when a federal agency is looking at their email. The lawsuit points out that the government's non-disclosure secrecy requests have become the rule vs. the exception. In 18 months, Microsoft was required to maintain secrecy in 2,576 legal demands for customer data. Even more surprising, the company said, was that 68 percent of those requests had no fixed end date—meaning the company is effectively prohibited forever from telling its customers that the government has obtained their data.
The reform:
Two weeks after Microsoft filed its suit, the U.S. House voted 419-0 in favor of the Email Privacy Act, which would update the ECPA in these key ways:
- Require government representatives to get a warrant to access messages older than 180 days from email and cloud providers.
- Allows providers to notify affected customers when their data is being requested, unless the court grants a gag order.
The last step in the process is for the Senate to turn to the reform bill into law. While no timeline has been given, the Senate is getting a lot of pressure to act quickly.

How to Reduce Costs and Security Threats Using Two Amazon Tools
May 10, 2016 | Leave a Comment
By David Lucky, Director of Product Management, Datapipe
Have you ever gone to see a movie that would have been amazing if not for one person? The plot was engaging, the dialogue was well-written, and there were strong performances from most of the cast. But there was just that one actor who simply didn't live up to the rest of the film, and it made every scene he was in that much worse? Simply put, that actor was bad, and brought down the whole operation.
That idea of the "bad actor" can be applied to Internet clients, as well. Fortunately, you're not hurting any feelings by sussing them out: the bad actors are usually automated processes that can harm your systems. The two most common forms are content scrapers, which dig into your content for their own profit, and bad bots, who will misrepresent who they are to get around any restrictions stopping them.
We'd all like to believe that everyone accessing content will use it appropriately. Unfortunately, we can't always assume the best, and being proactive in dealing with these bad actors will reduce security threats to your infrastructure and apps.
Even better, blocking bad actors will also lower your operating costs. When these bots access your content, you're serving the traffic to them, whether you want to or not. That adds more to your overall costs. By blocking them, you're restricting traffic from a number of undesired sources. Luckily, AWS has a pair of tools you can combine to say goodbye to these bad actors: Amazon CloudFront with an AWS web application firewall (WAF).
With AWS WAF, you can define a set of rules known as a web access control list (web ACL). Every single rule contains a set of conditions, plus an action. Any request that's received by CloudFront gets handed over to AWS WAF for further inspection; if the request matches, the user can access the content as attempted. If the request doesn't match the conditions in a specified rule, the default action of the web ACL is taken. These conditions will remove quite a bit of unwanted traffic, as you can set filters by source IP address, strings of text, and a whole lot more. As for the web ACL actions, you can count the request for later analysis, allow it, or block it.
Perhaps the best attribute of the WAF is that you can smoothly integrate it within your existing DevOps, and automate workflows to react. Since bad actors are always switching their methods to mask their actions, your proactive detection methods must constantly change, as well. Having those automations in place is immensely helpful in finding bad actors and restricting their access.
There's a great walkthrough of how to set up this solution on the AWS Security Blog, step-by-step. Feel free to check it out for more information, or get in touch with us if you have any additional questions. And for AWS customers that need even more than what the AWS WAF has to offer, there are services that are complimentary to the AWS WAF that provide enhanced protection for business critical applications on AWS. You won't even need to thank the Academy when all of those bad actors are removed.
DoD Updates Government Security Requirements for Cloud, But What Does That Really Mean?
May 6, 2016 | Leave a Comment
By Brian Burns, Bid Response Manager/Government Affairs, Datapipe
IT officials from the Department of Defense (DoD) have released an update to the Cloud Computing Security Requirements Guide (CC SRG), which establishes security requirements and other criteria for commercial and non-Defense Department cloud providers to operate within DoD. These kinds of updates are not uncommon. In fact, they are encouraged through an interesting use of a DevOps type methodology – as the DoD explains:
DoD Cloud computing policy and the CC SRG is constantly evolving based on lessons learned with respect to the authorization of Cloud Service Offerings and their use by DoD Components. As such the CC SRG is following an "Agile Policy Development" strategy and will be updated quickly when necessary.
The DoD offers a continuous public review option and accepts comments on the current version of the CC SRG at all times, moving to update the document quickly and regularly to address the constantly changing concerns of an evolving technology like public and private cloud infrastructure. The most recent update includes administrative changes and corrections and some expanded guidance on previously instated requirements, with the main focus on the updates being to clarify standards set in version one and alleviate confusion and any potential inaccuracy.
If you are interested, you can read through the entire CC SRG revision history online.
What is particularly interesting here is the DoD's acknowledgment that management of cloud environments is constantly evolving, security requirements and best practices need to be iterative, and updates need to be made regularly to ensure relevancy. It's also important to note that the CC SRG is only one of many government policies put in place to help government agencies securely and effectively implement cloud infrastructures. There are also guidelines like NIST SP 800-37 Risk Management, NIST 800-53, FISMA and FedRAMP to consider. All of these provide a knowledge base for cloud computing security authorization processes and security requirements for government agencies.
What the DoD's updates to the CC SRG should reinforce for agencies is that they need to have a clear cloud strategy in place in order to ensure compliance and success in the cloud. Determining the best implementation of these guidelines for your needs is difficult in and of itself. Add to that the ongoing management and updates required to keep up with ever-evolving guidelines and an IT team can find itself struggling.
By partnering with systems integrators and software vendors, or working directly with a managed service provider, like Datapipe, government agencies can more easily develop a long-term cloud strategy to architect, deploy, and manage high-security and high-performance cloud and hosted solutions, and stay on top of evolving government policies and guidelines.
For example, Microsoft Azure recently announced new accreditation for their Government Cloud, Amazon AWS has an isolated AWS region designed to host sensitive data and regulated workloads called AWS GovCloud, and you can learn more about our new Federal Community Cloud Platform (FCCP), which meets all FISMA controls and FedRAMP requirements, and all of our specific government cloud solutions on the Datapipe Government Solutions section of our site.
Five Endpoint Backup Features That Help Drive Adoption
May 3, 2016 | Leave a Comment
By Susan Richardson, Manager/Content Strategy, Code42
If you're among the 28 percent of enterprises that still haven't implemented a planned endpoint backup system, here are 5 key attributes to look for in a system, to help drive adoption and success. These recommendations are courtesy of Laura DuBois, program vice president at IDC, a global market intelligence provider with 1,500 highly mobile, knowledge-driven employees:
1. Supports Productivity
Look for a lightweight system that doesn't put a drag on memory, so employees can access data and collaborate quickly. If the system slows people down, they won't use it.
2. Increases Security
While some people think of endpoint backup primarily for disaster recovery, you should think of it as a data loss prevention tool, too. A good endpoint backup system offers a multi-layered security model that includes transmission security, account security, password security, encryption security (both in transit and at rest) and secure messaging.
3. Offers Intuitive Self-Service
Employees don't want to wait for IT to recapture lost data. Having an easy-to-use, self-service interface allows employees to locate and retrieve their own data. Not only does this help increase adoption, it also cuts down on calls to the IT Help Desk to save administrative time and money. A survey of Code42 customers found that 36 percent had fewer restore support tickets after installing the CrashPlan endpoint backup system, and 49 percent reduced IT hours spent on data restores.
In fact, for CISOs looking to make the case for an endpoint backup system, DuBois suggests compiling Help Desk volume data and the productivity associated with it.
4. Supports Heterogeneity
DuBois' research showed that the average corporate employee uses 2.5 devices for work, some company issued and some not. Your endpoint backup system has to accommodate today's diversity in devices, platforms and network connectivity.
5. Handles the Added Traffic
Some endpoint backup systems can get bogged down with lots of users and not enough network bandwidth. Look for a system that backups up almost continuously, so the processing is spread out vs. taxing the system all at once and slowing it down.
To learn more, see DuBois' webinar, "5 Expert Tips to Drive User Adoption in Endpoint Backup Deployments."

The Iceman plowed through the first three weeks of Dancing With the Stars, but he couldn't make it past a month.
Chuck Liddell's run on ABC's Dancing ended tonight, as he received the lowest combined total from the judges and voters for his country two-step performance with Anna Trebunskaya.
Liddell has consistently been in the lower tier of judges' scores, although he has never been ranked the worst. Judges Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli praised Liddell every week for his effort, but also consistently noted his lack of grace.
Support from the mixed martial arts community helped Liddell survive for as long as he did — viewer votes account for half of each couple's total score, and the Ultimate Fighting Championship has been urging MMA fans each week to vote for the ex-champion of the light-heavyweight division.

In 1892 Liverpool Football Club was born. By 1901 Liverpool FC had won the first of their 18 league championships (to date), which is still an English record today.
Liverpoool were reborn under Bill Shankly and the legendary boot room team. Shankly and Bob Paisley went on to serve the fans by winning the club 6 championships, 2 UEFA Cups, 2 European Cups and 1 European Super Cup by the end of the 1970's.
The 80's kicked off where Liverpool had finished the 70's- dominating at home and in Europe. After Paisley, Fagan continued the success story, assisted by possibly the club's greatest servant Ronnie Moran.
The new millennium brought glory back to Anfield under the shrewd guidance of Gerard Houllier and assistant Phil Thompson. Now with the new Liverpool FC heroes, including Michael Owen, Steven Gerard and Sami Hyypia, the future looks bright with the club set to regain their place amongst the true elite football clubs.

As you can see from my question, I have a VLAN configuration problem with a ProCurve 3500. The goal is to remove a VLAN from the existing configuration, however when I use the WEB UI to do this, I cannot modify ports to be assigned to a different VLAN or the Default VLAN. I always get the message "config failed", which is not very helpful.
When I try to do it over telnet, the router somehow partially crashes and the utilization on all ports is at 100% and I can barely use the web ui. After a reboot everything is fine again, but the configuration was not changed. The traffic after this partial crash looks like a broadcast storm, however there are definitely no loops in the segment.
I also updated to the latest stable firmware, but the problem persists.

Homo What's What's Up Up With With Go Go Bang Bang
posted by March 28 at 15:34 PMon
Look at me, I'm becoming Dan Savage—tearing down posters of hot guys, putting them up here…
My questions:
1. Go Go Bang Bang, what are you? A DJ? A club night? A shoot out? I don't know what you are but I love you already. Because of my Ninja Turtle fetish.
2. If you are a club night—and you are, and who doesn't love a new club night?—can you explain this phenomenon of doubled-up, single-syllable names for club nights? (Once upon a time there was Club Club. More recently, the excellent Sing Sing. You see those stutterers and you raise them: a doubled-up, single-syllable name times two. Trend alert!)
3. Who are you, dude? Are you real? Will you be there? Will you be dancing? According to some intelligence gathering, there will be go go boys at Go Go Bang Bang. Eat your heart out, Comeback!

A security risk has been identified with ALL versions of SLP prior to 3.8.7.
It is recommended you either upgrade to 3.8.7 immediately (it is going out now) OR delete the downloadcsv.php file from the main directory for the SLP plugin.
Downloadcsv.php is only needed if you are downloading CSV files from the Pro Pack reports tab. If you use that feature you should absolutely upgrade to 3.8.7. For everyone else either upgrade or delete that downloadcsv.php file ASAP.
As for 3.8.7, I was in the middle of doing a couple very minor updates, so there is actually and improved icon processor for map markers. I wasn't intending on releasing it this quickly but it got a "free ride" with the security patch.
BTW, if you are not seeing the update to the base plugin try going to the dashboard and finding the "check for upgrade" button for WordPress itself. That button triggers a check for updates on all the plugins as well. It doesn't RUN the updates, just checks if any are available. Otherwise you will be waiting up to 12-hours for the update notification from WordPress.

AUSTIN, TX -- Willie Zapalac, a Texas A&M Hall of Fame member and an Aggie football/track letterman and coach, passed away and services are scheduled for 3 p.m. Saturday, May 22 at the Weed-Corley-Fish Funeral Home (3125 North Lamar, Austin, TX 78705 512-452-8811). A reception will follow at the Austin Country Club.
Zapalac, born Dec. 11, 1920 in Sealy, attended Bellville High School and then lettered for the Aggies and head coach Homer Norton in 1941 and 1942 before leaving Aggieland to serve three years in the United States Air Corps in World War II. Zapalac returned to A&M as a first lieutenant and lettered in 1946 and served as a team captain in 1946. The 1941 squad won the Southwest Conference Championship and finished the year with a 9-2 record.
Upon graduation, Zapalac played for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1947 and then coached at several high schools and was the head coach at UT-Arlington in 1952 before being named the freshman coach at Texas A&M in 1953. When Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant was hired prior to the 1954 season, Zapalac was named to his coaching staff and remained in Aggieland through the 1960 season.
Zapalac would serve 12 years as an assistant coach with University of Texas head coach Darrell Royal from 1964-75.
Zapalac was inducted into the Texas A&M Athletics Hall of Fame in 1991. He is survived by his wife, Dorothy, and two sons, Bill and Jeff and a daughter Jill.

China investigates General Motors on monopoly issues
"Shanghai GM's major models produced in China are priced almost at the same level with the similar models sold in overseas markets," the company said in a statement
Recent developments in the extraterritorial reach of the U.S. antitrust laws
The determination that the FTAIA goes to the merits of a plaintiff's claims, not to a district court's jurisdiction, will directly impact defendants' ability to exit antitrust lawsuits early.
Why the recent upswing in U.S. cartel enforcement?
Because the Antitrust Division is aggressively enforcing the antitrust laws, firms should re-evaluate their interactions with competitors and strengthen their antitrust training and compliance programs.
Small deals can have big antitrust repercussions
Two recent enforcement actions by the U.S. antitrust agencies demonstrate just how risky and costly it can be when companies consummate a transaction, only later to find that their transaction faces a serious merger challenge.
Lawyers, experts may earn close to $400M from American Airlines bankruptcy

NBA moving forward in efforts to remove the Sterlings as owners of the Clippers
Whatever legal tactics Donald Sterling or his estranged wife, Shelly Sterling, might have up their sleeves, one thing is certain: the National Basketball Association is moving forward with proceedings that could force him to sell the Los Angeles Clippers.

New delays are causing some concern about Nokia's planned sale of its devices unit to Microsoft
Forming buying groups that comply with the antitrust laws
A joint purchasing arrangement that falls outside of the safe harbor does not necessarily raise antitrust concerns, but such an arrangement should be carefully examined.
NCAA faces lawsuit for capping athletic scholarships
The NCAA is up against yet another lawsuit, this time involving placing a cap on the value of athletic scholarships, which allegedly violates antitrust laws.
Is antitrust analysis different for high-tech industries?
Although the antitrust laws are designed to protect competition and innovation often enhances a company's competitiveness, high-tech companies sometimes engage in conduct that stifles competition or misuses market power.

What's With All The Airplane Loonies?
I used to only worry about simple things like turbulence, engine failure, terrorism, a bird flying into the engine, or the plane dropping 30,000 feet.
But nowadays you gotta worry about the crew!
They're all loonies!
It started with that male flight attendant a couple of years ago who grabbed beers and slid down the chute, abandoning the plane after hectoring some passengers, later claiming they were the loons.
Upcoming Events
More recently came that female flight attendant who started screaming that they were going to crash and had to be escorted off and hopefully fed some meds.
And now comes the JetBlue pilot who went bonkers and started disrupting things and carrying on about a bomb, only to be locked out of the cockpit and restrained by passengers so he wouldn't cause any further harm.
Like opening the plane door!
I'm actually not that surprised by all of this.
I would think that if you're the kind of person who absolutely loves to fly, you're a little nuts to begin with.
And even if you aren't, flying day after day through all kinds of pressure-filled, uncomfortable, claustrophobic flights could very well make you that way.
That's why I only do it every few years.
And I sincerely hope that next time I'm aboard, I don't see any of those three famous crew members working the flight!
I love spotting celebrities, but still!

I was in a car accident and I don't feel like its 100% my fault and the other party wants me to pay for all the damages. And now wants to take me to small claims court.
Lemon Law Attorney
Interesting question. I do not practice law in your state but if neither of you have insurance then the issue of fault will have to be determined by a court if you both cannot agree on something. Unless there is a ton of damages, I would suggest walking away because court can be time consuming. Please consult an attorney in your area for help. I wish you the best.
Litigation Lawyer
The lack of insurance comes into the case in Oregon because you cannot recover for "noneconomic" (pain, suffering, etc..) damages without having insurance at the time of the incident. Property damages, medical expenses and fault will be determined by a judge in small claims court or a jury in 'regular' court.
Car / Auto Accident Lawyer
There are certain exceptions in Oregon to the statute that says one cannot recover noneconomic (pain and suffering) damages in an auto case if they are uninsured at the time of the collision. You should inquire whether the other person was without insurance for more than 6 months. If the other party had insurance within 6 months prior to the collision, they may be entitled to "pain and suffering" damages. Ultimately, the person responsible for damages in Oregon is the person who is found to be at least 51% at fault. If the other person is found to be 50% or less at fault, you do not have to pay any of his/her damages.
Car / Auto Accident Lawyer
Liablity is not effected by insurance coverage. Oregon law does not allow plaintiffs to recover for non economic damages if they have not had insurance for over 6 months prior to the incident.

Billboard magazine has released its list of the year's top singles, and not surprisingly, Tim McGraw's "Live Like You Were Dying" is at the head of the class. The song, dedicated to Tim's later father Tug McGraw, spent seven weeks at No. 1. The rest of the Top 5: "Remember When" by Alan Jackson; "You'll Think of Me" by Keith Urban; "When the Sun Goes Down," Kenny Chesney with Uncle Kracker; and "Letters from Home," John Michael Montgomery. Toby Keith topped the album list with Shock 'N Y'All.

Time to stop overgeneralizing about immigrants
Published on Wed, Jul 11, 2012
IPC's senior policy analyst Michele Waslin was quoted in a Washington Post article about the complexity of immigration law and the dangers of overgeneralizing:
"The confusion with the military aspect has been troubling these last couple of weeks because so many people get it wrong. It really shows the need for education on how immigration rules really work," said Michele Waslin, the senior policy analyst at the Washington, D.C.-based Immigration Policy Center. "Immigration law is really, really complex and people think you're either legal or you're not, even though there are lots of different types of statuses."
Waslin listed for me a long list of temporary and permanent forms of being in the country legally and illegally, which sometimes overlap or morph from one to the other; everything from being in the country on work, study and vacation visas, to being in different stages of applying for a green card. Plus there are temporary protected statuses that can change on a moment's notice and various legal-limbo modes, such as the recently re-announced "deferred action" that confers a status that's neither legal nor illegal.

Joining and chaining one at the beginning of each round leaves you with a wonky line that goes diagonally. It's very unsightly and noticeable. I prefer to crochet hats in a spiral. You will chain the number of stitches required into the ring, join, but do not chain. Crochet your hat all the way around on each round after that. I place a marker at the last stitch of each round so I know where I'm at. Slip the marker at each round. I use commercial markers but you could use a safety pin or my favorite, a bobby pin. It holds tightly and releases quickly when you reposition it. I don't see any reason for the chain either. The main body is a simple hat pattern. The only reason I could see for the join and chain up is if you're doing stripes and want them to match up. Personally, I'd do it as a spiral. When you end the piece in a spiral, I like (if I'm doing double crochet) to stop four stitches from the end of the round. Do a half double stitch, then a single crochet stitch, then two slip stitches in a row. This transitions the edge so it looks even when you end it.
Welsh corgis are cool.

IFEC (in-flight entertainment & connectivity) has been the "coming thing" in the airline industry for years. Always big on promise, it has often failed to deliver. The latest technology making everyone excited is connectivity. So what is the industry status?
We spoke with Michael Planey, an IFEC consultant about this. He explains that the financial crisis is impacting the industry, with airlines shrinking and removing potential IFEC platforms. That said he goes on to explain how the connectivity situation is likely to evolve as prices are expected to fall - he sees a world where in-flight connectivity will approach zero.
