Security Basics
mailing list archives
Hi Soul,
I recently (few monthes) joined information security management unit
in telecommunication company and also had to go through the
roles/responsibilities study. Here is what I found in CISSP all-in-one
The Data Owner
The data owner (information owner) is usually a member of management who is in
charge of a specific business unit, and who is ultimately responsible
for the protection
and use of a specific subset of information. The data owner has due
care responsibilities
and thus will be held responsible for any negligent act that results
in the corruption or
disclosure of the data. The data owner decides upon the classification
of the data he is
responsible for and alters that classification if the business need
arises. This person is
also responsible for ensuring that the necessary security controls are
in place, defining
security requirements per classification and backup requirements,
approving any disclosure
activities, ensuring that proper access rights are being used, and defining user
access criteria. The data owner approves access requests or may choose
to delegate this
function to business unit managers. And it is the data owner who will
deal with security
violations pertaining to the data he is responsible for protecting.
The data owner,
who obviously has enough on his plate, delegates responsibility of the
maintenance of the data protection mechanisms to the data custodian.
The Data Custodian
The data custodian (information custodian) is responsible for
maintaining and protecting
the data. This role is usually filled by the IT or security department, and the
duties include performing regular backups of the data, periodically
validating the integrity
of the data, restoring data from backup media, retaining records of
activity, and
fulfilling the requirements specified in the company's security
policy, standards, and
guidelines that pertain to information security and data protection.
The System Owner
The system owner is responsible for one or more systems, each of which may hold
and process data owned by different data owners. A system owner is
responsible for
integrating security considerations into application and system
purchasing decisions
and development projects. The system owner is responsible for ensuring
that adequate
security is being provided by the necessary controls, password
management, remote
access controls, operating system configurations, and so on. This role
must ensure the
systems are properly assessed for vulnerabilities and must report any
to the incident
response team and data owner.
The Application Owner
Some applications are specific to individual business units—for
example, the accounting
department has accounting software, R&D has software for testing and
and quality assurance uses some type of automated system. The
application owners,
usually the business unit managers, are responsible for dictating who
can and cannot
access their applications (subject to staying in compliance with the
company's security
policies, of course).
Since each unit claims ownership of its specific applications, the
application owner
for each unit is responsible for the security of the unit's
applications. This includes testing,
patching, performing change control on the programs, and making sure the right
controls are in place to provide the necessary level of protection.
The Security Administrator
Anyone who has a root account on Unix or Linux systems or an
administrator account
on Windows or Macintosh systems actually has security administrator rights.
(Unfortunately, too many people have these accounts in most environments.) This
means they can give and take away permissions, set security
configurations, and mess
everything up if they are having a bad day.
However, just because a person has a root or administrator account does not mean
they are fulfilling the security administrator role. A security
administrator's tasks are
many, and include creating new system user accounts, implementing new
security software,
testing security patches and components, and issuing new passwords.
(The security
administrator should not actually approve new system user accounts. This is the
responsibility of the supervisor.) The security administrator must
make sure access
rights given to users support the policies and data owner directives.
The Change Control Analyst
As someone wise once said, the only thing that is constant is change. So, when
change does take place, someone must make sure it's safe. The change
control analyst
is responsible for approving or rejecting requests to make changes to
the network, systems,
or software. This role must make certain that the change will not introduce any
vulnerabilities, that it has been properly tested, and that it is
properly rolled out. The
change control analyst needs to understand how various changes can
affect security,
interoperability, performance, and productivity. Or, a company can
choose to just roll
out the change and see what happens…
The Data Analyst
Having proper data structures, definitions, and organization is very
important to a
company. The data analyst is responsible for ensuring that data is
stored in a way that
makes the most sense to the company and the individuals who need to
access and work
with it. For example, payroll information should not be mixed with
inventory information,
the purchasing department needs to have a lot of its values in monetary terms,
and the inventory system must follow a standardized naming scheme. The
data analyst
may be responsible for architecting a new system that will hold
company information
or advise in the purchase of a product that will do so.
The data analyst works with the data owners to help ensure that the
structures set
up coincide with and support the company's business objectives.
The Process Owner
Ever heard the popular mantra, "Security is not a product, it's a
process"? The statement
is very true. Security should be considered and treated like any
another business process—
not as its own island, nor like a redheaded step-child with cooties.
(The author is
a redheaded step-child, but currently has no cooties.)
All organizations have many processes: how to take orders from customers; how to
make widgets to fulfill these orders; how to ship the widgets to the
customers; and how
to collect from customers when they don't pay their bills; and so on.
An organization
could not function properly without well-defined processes.
The process owner is responsible for properly defining, improving
upon, and monitoring
these processes. A process owner is not necessarily tied to one business unit or
application. Complex processes involve many variables that can span
different departments,
technologies, and data types.
The Solution Provider
Every vendor you talk to will tell you they are the right solution
provider for whatever
ails you. In truth, several different types of solution providers
exist, because the world
is full of different problems. This role is called upon when a
business has a problem or
requires a process be improved upon. For example, if Company A needs a
solution that
supports digitally signed e-mails and an authentication framework for
employees, it
would turn to a public key infrastructure (PKI) solution provider. A
solution provider
works with the business unit managers, data owners, and senior
management to develop
and deploy a solution to reduce the company's pain points.
The Supervisor
The supervisor role, also called user manager, is ultimately
responsible for all user activity
and any assets created and owned by these users. For example, suppose
Kathy is the
supervisor of ten employees. Her responsibilities would include
ensuring that these
employees understand their responsibilities with respect to security,
distributing initial
passwords, making sure the employees' account information is
up-to-date, and informing
the security administrator when an employee is fired, suspended, or transferred.
Any change that pertains to an employee's role within the company
usually affects what
access rights they should and should not have, so the user manager
must inform the
security administrator of these changes immediately.
The Auditor
The function of the auditor is to provide a method for ensuring
independently that management
and shareholders of an organization can rely upon the appropriateness
of security
objectives as well as the information they are being provided with
regarding the status
of the organization as a whole. The auditor is brought in to an
organization to determine
if the controls that have been implemented by the administration for
either technical or
physical attributes have reached, and comply with, the security
objectives that are either
required for the organization by legislation or have been deemed
necessary by the governance
of the organization. Auditors can conduct either internal or external
auditing of an
organization and a combination of both will usually provide the most
and objective evaluation of the organization being evaluated. The
biggest concern for
auditors is the question of bias and objectivity. The use of a third
party for reviews will
typically alleviate that issue, and in some instances there are
actually legal mandates and
regulations that prevent even third-party auditors from working for
too many years in a
row with a single organization in order to prevent them from becoming
too close and
thereby compromising their objectivity in evaluations and audits.
The Security Analyst
The security analyst role works at a higher, more strategic level than
the previously
described roles and helps develop policies, standards, and guidelines,
as well as set various
baselines. Whereas the previous roles are "in the weeds" and focus on pieces and
parts of the security program, a security analyst helps define the
security program elements
and follows through to ensure the elements are being carried out and practiced
properly. This person works more at a design level than an implementation level.
The User
The user is any individual who routinely uses the data for
work-related tasks. The user
must have the necessary level of access to the data to perform the
duties within their
position and is responsible for following operational security
procedures to ensure the
data's confidentiality, integrity, and availability to others.
Why So Many Roles?
A decision maker is not the proper role for the data custodian or
system administrator
in protecting system resources. They may have the technical knowledge
of how security
mechanisms should be implemented and configured, but they should not be put into
a position of deciding how the company approaches security and what
security measures
should be implemented. Too many times companies handle security at the
level. In these situations, security is not viewed in broad enough terms.
Proper risk analysis is usually not performed. Senior management is
not fully aware of
the risks the company faces. Not enough funds are available for
security, and when a
security breach takes place, there is no efficient way of dealing with
it. As stated previously,
security should work in a top-down fashion to be ultimately successful.
A company's security is not tied only to the type of firewall
installed and the timeliness
of security patches being applied. A company is an environment filled
with various
resources, activities, people, and practices. The security of the
environment must be approached
in a holistic way, with each part of security addressed in a serious
and responsible
manner. Although most environments will not contain all of the roles outlined
previously, all of these responsibilities still must be carried out.
I hope this will help you.

New Aviation Program to Take Flight
Ivy Tech Community College is taking part in a national effort designed to bridge the skills gap in the aviation industry. The school is one of five to receive money from a U.S. Department of Labor grant, and will create a 12-16 week program to train workers in the areas of sheet metal and electrical assembly. The National Association of Manufacturers' Manufacturing Institute estimates the aviation industry will lose nearly 40 percent of its employees by 2014, and the school says the new program will train the next generation of workers. Project Coordinator Chris Garrett says this type of program has been successful in other areas.
Wayne County Survey Details Skills Gap
More than half the respondents to a Wayne County employer survey say they are experiencing a shortage of skilled applicants. Economic Development Corp. of Wayne County President Valerie Shaffer says the survey shows companies are hiring, but many say the available workers need additional training.
Former IU Kokomo Leader Lands in Tennessee
Former Indiana University Kokomo Chancellor Michael Harris has a new job. He has been named dean of the College of Public Service and Urban Affairs at Tennessee State University. Harris resigned from the IU Kokomo post last year.
Chamber Report Card Reveals Mixed Bag
A new report from the Indiana Chamber of Commerce suggests the state's business climate is improving, but serious concerns remain about work force issues. The chamber's Indiana Vision 2025 Report Card highlights key challenges including educational attainment and the ability to attract and retain talent. In a Studio (i) interview, President Kevin Brinegar says college degree attainment and addressing the skills gap will be important areas of focus moving forward.
Indianapolis Drops in Largest City Rankings
Indianapolis has been passed by Austin, Texas in the U.S. Census Bureau's list of the nation's most populous cities. The change means the state's biggest city is now the 13th largest in the country, down from 12th. Fort Wayne is 74th, Evansville ranks 218th and South Bend places 287th overall.
Hot Debate on Cold Beer Continues
The owner of Anderson-based Ricker Oil Co. Inc. believes a lawsuit over the regulation of cold beer sales in Indiana will go on for at least a year. Jay Ricker is part of a suit filed by a group of convenience stores challenging the constitutionality of a law banning them from selling cold beer. On the most recent edition of Inside INdiana Business Television, Ricker says the lawsuit was filed "out of frustration" because he believes current law creates a non-level playing field.
Zionsville Closes on Major Land Acquisition
Zionsville Community Schools and the Town of Zionsville have finalized an agreement on a more than $3 million deal to purchase land aimed at boosting economic development. The deal with Dow Chemical Co. (NYSE: DOW) involves more than 90 acres.
Last Original Holiday World Ride Closes
The last original attraction at Holiday World and Splashin' Safari has given its final ride. The Santa Claus-based park says maintenance issues have led to the decision to replace the Freedom Train. The train first appeared as the Santa Claus Land Railroad when the park opened in the 1940's as Santa Claus Land.
Local Brewers Look to Boost Craft Beer Business
The founder of a new craft brewery in Indianapolis says there is a "joint effort" by local artisans to expose more people to the emerging industry. Indiana City Brewing Co. owner Ray Kamstra says craft beer accounts for 3-7 percent of the market in Indiana, which puts the state at "just the beginning" of an international trend. Indiana City Brewing Co. is holding its grand opening this weekend in Fountain Square in Indianapolis. The brewery is located in the bottling house of the former Home Brewing Company, which went out of business during Prohibition.
'Most Advanced' Simulator Aims to Lift Motorsports Sector
The state is investing in a major project to establish an industry-leading vehicle simulator at the Dallara plant in Speedway. The Indiana Economic Development Corp. says the $1.15 million investment will advance the state's already thriving motorsports sector and boost related economic development activities. The partnership also involves IUPUI which will pump $200,000 into the project to complete and operate what is being described as "the world's most advanced vehicle dynamic simulator."
Education Effort Targets 'Near Completers'
Two Indiana schools are collaborating to help an estimated 740,000 Hoosier who have some college credit complete a degree or certification. WGU Indiana and Ivy Tech Community College are part of an effort to develop a virtual college re-engagement center in central Indiana to help simplify the process for adults returning to school. WGU Chancellor Allison Barber says thousands of people in Indiana have some college credit, but not enough for a degree or certification. She says an increasing percentage of new jobs coming to Indiana require some sort of secondary education, and Hoosiers will need that training to compete.
Huntington County Winery Opens
The state's stable of agri-tourism businesses is about to grow. TWO-EE's Winery opens this weekend in Huntington County and will begin offering seven different wines.
Developer Breathing New Life Into Lake Resort
An abandoned tourist attraction on the shores of the largest natural lake in Indiana is set to re-open next month thanks to a nearly $7 million investment. Oakwood Resort, which closed in 2008, sits on seven acres along Lake Wawasee in Kosciusko County and the project has been under what the developers call a "crazy" schedule over the last four months. Chief Executive Officer Jeremiah Heierman says there are plans to employ around 125 full and part-time workers during the summer, fall and Christmas seasons. Fort Wayne-based Yellow Retirement Communities is the project's developer and has set up Oakwood Resort LLC to manage its affairs.
Major Youth Football Study Highlights Injuries
Indianapolis-based USA Football is releasing preliminary findings of a wide-ranging, two-year study examining player health and safety in youth football. The research involving nearly 2,000 players on more than 100 teams suggests more than 90 percent did not suffer an injury that restricted participation. During an interview on Inside INdiana Business Television, USA Football Senior Manager of Research Meg Moyer and The Datalys Center President Tom Dompier detail some of the key early results, which include less than four percent of the players suffered concussions.
Hoosiers Receive High Marks in Science Olympiad
Two Indiana school teams finished among the best at a national competition. The schools placed in the top 20 during last weekend's Science Olympiad National Tournament in Ohio. Munster High School finished 18th overall out of 60 high schools, while Thomas Jefferson Middle School in Valparaiso was 19th best of 60 middle schools. Bloomington High School North was 27th in their division and The Stanley Clark School in South Bend finished 37th among middle schools.
City Employees Accused of Fraud
Five people, including two Indianapolis city employees, are facing federal bribery and fraud charges. A two-month federal investigation focused on suspects including the head of the Indianapolis Land Bank and a department of metropolitan development senior project manager. Details of the alleged scheme were announced by U.S. Attorney Joe Hogsett's office following an FBI raid.

The purpose of this study is to examine the accuracy of the precedents cited by the Hungarian government in order to shed light on the more critical question of how consistent Hungary's media laws are with other media systems in Europe. As such, the focus of the study is narrow by design: the analyses are based on a set of specific examples of similar legislation as cited by the Hungarian government.
The study finds that Hungary's media laws are largely inconsistent with the cited European practices and norms, based on an examination of the legal precedents provided and on the expert analyses of how these precedents are implemented in these European and EU-member countries. In a majority of examples, experts report that the Hungarian Government's references omit or inaccurately characterise relevant factors of the other countries' regulatory systems, and as a result, the examples do not provide sufficient and/or equivalent comparisons to Hungary's media regulation system. In many examples, the Hungarian Government accurately presents a portion of a legal provision or regulation, however in these cases the reference either excludes elements of how the regulation is implemented or the regulation cited does not correspond with the scope and powers of Hungary's media laws or Media Authority. Overall, this study finds that the European media regulations cited by the Hungarian Government do not serve as adequate precedents for Hungary's new media laws.

It is a legal requirement to report certain accidents and incidents under the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1995 (RIDDOR). An employer and the self-employed must report certain incidents, accidents, injuries, dangerous occurrences and diseases arising at work. It is an offence not to report a reportable accident. You are strongly advised to report an accident or incident as soon as possible.
As an employer, a person who is self-employed, or someone in control of work premises, you have legal duties under RIDDOR that require you to report and record some work-related accidents by the quickest means possible.
major injuries;
It is advisable to report the incident as soon as possible. Unless the accident is a fatality or major injury, you should report all accidents online, using our form below or using one of the forms on the HSE. In cases of death, major injury, or dangerous occurrences, you must notify the enforcing authority without delay, most easily by calling the Incident Contact Centre on 0845 300 99 23.
Cases of over 7-day injuries must be notified within fifeteen days of the incident occurring.
Cases of disease should be reported as soon as a doctor notifies you that your employee suffers from a reportable work-related disease.
You can report directly via a dedicated reporting website
There is no cost to report accidents or incidents.
You should make a complaint to us as soon as possible. It is very important to ensure that accidents are reported - not only because it is a legal requirement but to ensure that is properly investigated and that any problems do not happen again.

Reviews of Echo Ridge
Average Rating: based on 4 Reviews
I visited this facility
They've done a great job. They were very professional, very informative and very helpful; that's the best thing I could say about my visit to Echo Ridge. They were very nice and very persistent. The place immaculate and well done.
I visited this facility
Echo Ridge is a beautiful place. Everybody was very, very nice. It was well kept. It was such a great place. The rooms were very nice, but I thought it was a little costly. They gave me a list of the monthly calendar of all the activities and the different things that they did. They keep the residents very busy and active. I like the location because it's close to a shopping center. It's also close to the YMCA so that they could swim and exercise. What stood out was that everybody was very, very pleasant, and they were very knowledgeable.
I visited this facility
I knew some people down at Echo Ridge. They referred that place to me. They were very nice and very clean. Everything seemed to be up to date. The only thing they didn't have that I was looking for is an Internet system. The staff who toured me there was up to date on everything there. She was very nice. She gave me all the answers to my questions. They showed me some rooms, and they looked nice. We had lunch at their dining room, and the food was very good. The thing that I like about it is that it is close to my friend's house.
I am a friend or relative of a resident
The grounds at Echo Ridge are beautiful. The dining hall is nice and better than the other ones I went to. They have a new activities person. And I think she is just out of college, and she doesn't have the vim and vigor of the one before. They barely hear or notice her. I think the food needs to have more options. When you get old, you are typically not supposed to have as much salt, and so people should be able to say "I'd like salt-free" or "I want regular food." I did have a great lunch yesterday there with my mom. It was very good. It was a nice place. I'm not really complaining.
I think the staff should always remember that they have a job. And this is like one of the manager's staff. It wasn't horrible. I've seen worse. But they all need to be reminded of what they're trying to do every once in a while. I like how open and airy it is. I love the grounds, and I like all the flowers and plants. I like it, and I think it's very nice. I'd like not to move my parents if I can afford to keep them there when they need the assisted living, and we're bringing people in for that right now because my dad's in the hospital. But I like it, especially when you walk in and the look of the whole place is just wonderful. It's very bright, it's not dark, and it doesn't smell.

The Pittsburgh Passion is back on the road this week, as they take the gridiron against the Philadephia Firebirds for an all-Pennsylvania battle in Week 2 of Independent Women's Football League action.
Kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m. this Saturday at A.A. Garthwaite Stadium.
Last week, the Passion opened the 2014 season on the road as they played in their 100th game in franchise history. Pittsburgh (1-0) defeated the defending IWFL champions Carolina Phoenix 29-6 at Memorial Stadium in Durham, N.C.
Starting quarterback Lisa Horton picked up where she left off from last season as she put up 215 yards passing and two touchdowns to Rachel Wojdowski. The receiving duo of Wojdowski and Amanda Haeg combined for 15 receptions for 190 yards.
Last season, Horton contributed a team record and personal best with 1802 passing yards and 23 touchdown passes. Wojdowski was one of Horton's favorite targets in 2013 as she had 36 receptions to go along with 766 yards and a team-record 13 touchdowns. Haeg had 25 catches for 368 yards and three touchdowns.
The ground attack in Carolina was led by running back Ciara Chic with 72 yards, while fullback Kadesha Clark added 44 yards and two touchdowns on the evening.
The defense was solid and kept the Phoenix offense in check as linebacker, Octavia Griswold led the charge with seven tackles. There was a melding of youth and experience in creating turnovers as rookie defensive back Ashley Strawn and fourth-year defensive back Krissy Edmonds each had one interception while veteran linebacker Beth Amato had a fumble recovery.
Pittsburgh's defense also put points on the scoreboard in the fourth quarter when defensive tackle Kaitlain Niedermeyer brought down the ball carrier in the end zone for a safety. The Brentwood, Pa., native contributed to six other tackles during the contest.
Philadelphia opened the 2014 season on the road last week, and defeated the Washington Prodigy 20-6. The Passion are 2-0 all-time against the Firebirds.
Coming up on Week 3 for head coach Teresa Conn and the Passion is a road trip on April 26 to the Aviator Sports Complex in Brooklyn to tangle with the New York Sharks. The Passion is 3-2 all-time against the Sharks.
The Passion will celebrate their home opener on Saturday, May 10 at 7 p.m. when they host the Montreal Blitz at Cupples Stadium, located at 930 East Carson Street on the South Side of Pittsburgh. It will be the first-ever meeting of the two squads. The Blitz won the 2012 IWFL championship.

SnowEx Develops New SuperMaxx Series Spreaders
August 1st, 2012
Company: SnowEx
Category: Spreaders
Have someone from SnowEx contact you with more information Click Here
MADISON HEIGHTS, Mich. – SnowEx has introduced its highest-capacity line of spreaders, the SuperMaxx series. Intended for large contractors and municipalities, the spreaders are loaded with many new features for enhanced performance and easy pre-wetting integration.
The SuperMaxx series includes the 9300X, 9500X and 9800X, available with 3.3-, 4.3- and 6.0-cubic-yard capacities, respectively. The spreaders feature a unique cab-forward design with up to 33 percent better payload distribution, resulting in improved safety and reduced stress on the carrying vehicle.
Exclusive to the SuperMaxx series, the spreaders include a patented wet/dry mixing chamber. Within the chamber, the auger feed system mixes brine with the spreading material before delivering it to the spinner. This feature maximizes the effectiveness of pre-wetting applications by ensuring a precise, even coating of brine.
The hoppers are made from corrosion-resistant polyethylene and include a multi-angle design to promote a continuous flow of material to the auger feed system. Furthermore, an inverted "V" baffle and attached vibrator reduce clumping and allow the units to spread all bulk materials, including 100-percent salt, 100-percent sand and any combination in between.
The spreaders are completely electric-powered with a 12-volt, ¾-horsepower auger motor and 1.6-horsepower spinner motor. To ensure durability and ease of maintenance, the motors and transmission are sealed within weather-resistant enclosures. The control panel is also protected in a weather-resistant enclosure with a clear inspection cover.
The SuperMaxx series is controlled by an innovative pendant-style controller with a digital readout and dials for independently adjusting the variable-speed spinner and auger. It comes with blast and pulse features, as well as auto-reverse and overload protection. If the truck is equipped with a pre-wetting system, the controller can toggle it on and off, automatically adjusting the pre-wetting system's flow according to the spreader's material feed rate.
Furthermore, a new low-profile spinner design with stainless-steel deflector helps the SuperMaxx series accurately spread material up to 40 feet wide. Additionally, the 12-inch stainless-steel spinner contains adjustable cups, allowing the operator to fine-tune the spread pattern. When not in use, the modular spinner assembly can be flipped into the upright position, providing full access to the vehicle's hitch.
Other standard features include a fitted tarp, top screen, LED safety strobe lights, noncombustible wiring and vertically oriented ratchet straps. The spreaders are covered by an industry-leading two-year parts and labor warranty.
SnowEx is a product division of TrynEx International. Other TrynEx brands include TurfEx turf care equipment, and SweepEx broom attachments. For more information, contact TrynEx International, 531 Ajax Drive, Madison Heights, MI 48071, call 800-725-8377 or 248-586-3500, fax 248-586-3501, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or visit www.trynexfactory.com.

JBoss Developer Framework exists to show you, the developer, how to make the most of JBoss and Java EE 6 technologies on JBoss Enterprise Application Platform and JBoss AS.
There are three ways we do this:
We start small, with the quickstarts. Each quickstart is very focused, and shows you one API, or one use case. There are about 53 quickstarts today, ranging from JAX-RS CRUD to GWT to HTML5 to transactions.
Quickstarts are great, but there comes a time in everyone's life when they want to write something other than a simple application! TicketMonster steps up to the plate at this point. Today, it's a full web-app written, with front-ends showing off the three approaches to view layers we like at JBoss - HTML5 + REST, Errai/GWT and RichFaces/JSF.
Over time, we plan to add much more to TicketMonster, as well as spin up other examples. Check out the Roadmap for more info on our plans!
We realise that there are lots of people still using older technologies such as Seam 2, Spring or Java EE 5. We've put together a comprehensive set of migration tutorials to show you how.
JBoss BOMs
To make all this possible, we've developed a set of BOMs. The BOMs start with Java EE 6, and build on that base API with JBoss extensions such as Hibernate (Search, Validator...), Errai and Arquillian. They're a great way to make sure you're using the same set of dependences that we test with!
JBoss Developer Framework 1.0 is firmly focused on education, showing you how to use JBoss Enterprise Application Platform and JBoss AS with Java EE 6.
JBoss Developer Framework 2.0 will start to add other technologies to the stack, such as Deltaspike and Aerogear. We won't be forking these projects, but simply testing and recommending a version to use (via a Maven BOM).
Get Involved
If you want to ask questions, or help out, then visit our forums (which are also mailing lists).
We'll be tweeting using the #jbossjdf tag.
We'll mostly be posting jdf related items on the jdf news feed, so if you want to keep up to date, I suggest you subscribe there.
If you are lucky enough to be coming to JBoss World, Red Hat Summit or JUDCon, then we'll be there.

shouldn't it read POM instead of BOM?
I guess this is Seam2-NG?
If we are able to migrate an enterprise Seam 2 project to JEE 6, we need to find out the replacements of Seam 2's core components, e.g. security, frameworks(EntityHome), page action, and etc, in JEE 6. Otherwise, it is hard to migrate an enterprise Seam 2 project to JEE 6, except that using JEE 6 to develop a NEW project.

Looks like that is coming in later versions with DeltaSpike integration

Our oceans, our responsibility
In the face of the latest oil spill, uncover the challenges we face in the name of ocean preservation, and how you can lend a voice to the cause.
Fri, Jun 11, 2010 at 01:19 AM
The sea, the great unifier, is man's only hope. Now, as never before, the old phrase has a literal meaning: we are all in the same boat.
— Jacques Yves Cousteau
(Happy 100th birthday, Jacques!)
In the wake of the second annual recognition by the U.N. of World Oceans Day, we continue to face the sobering reality that is crude oil gushing into the once pristine waters off the Gulf of Mexico. The images and disturbingly vague statistics have saturated the media for nearly two months, yet the dilemma continues to unfold. As the pressure from the Deepwater Horizon disaster weighs heavily on the hearts and wallets of the American people, we must also satisfy the need to explore the entire catalog of issues that face the bodies of water that drape nearly three-fourths of the Earth's surface, and furthermore, how to become an ocean defender in your own right.
The title of the article is borrowed directly from that of the first official celebration of World Oceans Day in 2009, and serves as a blunt admonition to apathetic and ignorant members of society. My personal appreciation for the sentiment lies in the word "responsibility," a powerful and often feared word that in context suggests that accountability is a necessity to be carried by humanity as a whole. The opportunity suggests that if we feel entitled (as we so often do) to the abundance of the ocean, that preservation and conservation cannot be disregarded.
This year's World Oceans Day theme, as declared by the United Nations, was "Oceans of Life." Ironically, the primary issues facing oceans directly threaten the existence of marine life and the clean water needed in order for biodiversity to thrive. Regarding the international scale, the most critical and most widely publicized issues include pollution, global warming and the wide range of various fishing related threats that are seemingly more obscure to the public.
One such issue is the cruel act of whaling, which has, in the name of Japanese "research," expanded the goals in 2010 to include 50 humpback whales and 50 fin whales, both of which are endangered species. Other such related issues are factory fishing, pirate fishing and bottom trawling, all of which are decimating species populations and fragile coral, while blatantly disregarding all sustainable methods of fishing.
These processes not only disrupt the balance of the food chain, but disrupt a way of life for smaller human populations and tribes that depend directly on the ocean for survival. It is the delusion that the overfished and hunted species will naturally replenish themselves that has led to the critical state of the world's marine life. Lastly, as an incredibly redundant statement of the obvious, we must prevent further offshore drilling efforts, while instead exploring the technologies for alternative sources of energy, as originally promised by our president in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. These particular acts invested $80 billion in clean energy, and with its guiding principles, let us drastically reduce our fossil fuel dependency, and therefore many of the security and environmental issues in which we are helplessly drowning.
In the face of enormous perils, specifically those noted above, it can become overwhelming when trying to determine the individual's role of defense. Aside from the simple act of donating funds to marine related non-profit organizations, it is wise to consider efforts at the local level first. Georgia's coastline encompasses nearly one-third of the eastern seaboard's salt marshes and thousands of acres of tidal freshwater wetlands. Not only is this combination unique and rare, but extremely fragile, and therefore in need of protection from over-development and the proposed oil and gas exploration off the coast (refer to my previous post "Black gold: The crippling effects of offshore drilling").
By involving yourself in local grassroots politics in combination with groups like Environment Georgia, it is proven feasible to prevent damaging resolutions and legislation. See below for a list of Georgia's coastal dilemmas and how you can help reverse the signs of damage.
In closing, let us reflect on a sentiment expressed by Amnesty International that reads: "corporate accountability doesn't have to be an oxymoron." In response to the oil spill in the Gulf as well as the other critical issues on the marine defense agenda, let us insist upon our democratic rights, and assert our resolutions to local and federal politicians as well as large corporations, while challenging loquacious lobbyists. It is our ocean and our responsibility.

Making Equity Crowdfunding Work for the Unaccredited Crowd

The Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act creates a new "crowdfunding exemption" that will allow companies to raise up to $1 million every twelve months by selling their stock (or other unregistered securities) to both accredited and unaccredited investors, provided that the sales are made through registered intermediaries. This article summarizes why the crowdfunding exemption is important, explains how its expected costs are problematic, and proposes ways to mitigate those costs without sacrificing investor protection.
The CFTC's Cross-Border Guidance for Swaps and Substituted Compliance Regime

James Schwartz: The regulation of the swaps market, in which transactions between counterparties in wide-ranging jurisdictions have long been routine, requires international coordination and cooperation. If this were lacking, the consequences could include regulatory arbitrage, outsized compliance costs for, or incomplete compliance by, market participants, the fracturing of liquidity among different jurisdictions, and perhaps even political tensions.

Raskin: Recent published reports point toward a growing conviction that the demand for utility service from the U.S. electric grid may soon decline, perhaps substantially, due to the expanding use of distributed generation. If distributed generation comes to play a significant role, the loss of demand for service from the grid may eventually make it difficult for the owners of grid assets to recover their costs, creating what the utility industry calls "stranded costs."

Linda E. Carlisle, Daniel A. Hagan and Jane E. Rueger: This Article explores combining the traditional oil and gas pipeline structure with solar electric generation to: (1) increase the return on pipeline investments by making the income from a solar electric generation business available to pipeline operators; and (2) lower the cost of operating the pipeline.
The Equity Façade of SEC Disgorgement
4.55K Views0 Comments0 Likes
Russell G. Ryan: The SEC commonly describes disgorgement as an equitable remedy, and courts similarly begin their disgorgement analyses by assuming as axiomatic the equitable nature of disgorgement. But what if that premise is wrong? What if disgorgement is an equitable remedy only some of the time? What if in many cases it is actually a remedy at law, or even a punitive remedy? And what if in some cases the very label of disgorgement is a misnomer?

TUGUEGARAO CITY, Feb. 3 (PIA) - - To capacitate Local Government Units (LGUs) on disaster management, the Office of the Civil Defense (OCD) here has offered several disaster management related trainings to disaster managers and frontliners.
Regional Director Norma Talosig said they are ready to assist LGUs in capacitating their Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (DRRMC) members as well as response team members through counterparting scheme.
She said parts of the trainings they can offer is the contingency planning for emergencies, conduct of rapid damage assessment and needs analysis, basic incident command system, community based risk assessment, simulation exercises, and community based DRRM.
Other than these, OCD can also assist LGUs in the conduct of different drills and exercises to include earthquake, tsunami and flood drills. On skills trainings, the agency is willing to train the rescue team members on water and mountain search and rescue.
"These are the trainings that the disaster managers need to strengthen further their capabilities in responding to any kind of disaster that they might encounter anytime. We should always remember that disasters are unpredictable, they may come and happen anytime and anywhere, so we must be always prepared to ensure safety of the public and attain zero casualty," Talosig stated.
She also stated that they can also assist LGUs in the formulation of their local disaster risk reduction and management plan realizing the importance of a plan for different specific disasters that an LGU may experience.
Talosig also stressed DRRM plan must be crafted carefully as it serves as the guide of the local officials in implementing the disaster law which include all activities to be conducted in line with the four pillars of disaster risk reduction and management; preparedness, mitigation, response and recovery.

Khloe Kardashian helped raise thousands of dollars to help save endangered tigers in the wild -- all while barely raising a finger ... TMZ has learned.
Here's how it happened -- Khloe posted a tweet New Year's Day, asking her 5.6 million followers to text "Tigers" to 20222 ... thereby donating $10 directly to the World Wildlife Fund to help save wild tigers across the world. It was that simple.
A rep for the WWF tells TMZ, the tweet got an overwhelming response -- with over 600 people texting "Tigers" in the last 2 days ... raising over $6,000 for tiger conservation. According to the rep, the massive surge in donations was a "huge jump" above the norm.
But the rep tells us, the Kardashian sister's charitable moment didn't end there -- Khloe also adopted a tiger online ... and she got her mom Kris to do the same.
According to the rep, the money raised by Khloe's tweet will go to science and research on the ground in regions of the world where tigers live ... to better understand how to protect them.
Finally, a reason to keep up with the Kardashians.
Love her!
Not enough of a reason for me, sorry. The Kwhores always seem to have some sort of ulterior motive for everything they do. I wish that all of the stupid idiots out there who keep watching their shows would do mankind a favor and stop watching, so they get taken off the air. I cannot understand why they still watching even though they know the "marriage" was a shame, but yet the show is still playing episodes like it wasn't. Well, I guess I answered my own question, like I said earlier their stupid idiots who evidentially can't figure it out. I'll do what I can to help out, here goes….THE "MARRIAGE" IS A SHAME, THE SHOW IS TOTALY FAKE. Hope it helps.
TMZ is retarded for taking the bait.The Kardouchians are experiencing a big backlash and are willing to do anything that will help as far as good P.R goes.I can gaurantee their publicist told them to find a charity and get everyone on it to turn around their greedy ,vapid image and look good by helping tigers.The tigers dont need money.They need land thats being taken over by the Indian population explosion enabled in a miniscule way by the Kardashians use of 3rd world sweatshop labor like India.
She kills a million tigers with a single fart from that FAT ass.
Remember the Dane Cook bit where he talks about punching babies when you hear a certain sound? That's what happens to me now when I hear the word 'kardashian' So just know TMZ everytime you post another article about them, babies are being punched.
I looked up the words WHITE TRASH, and there was a picture of this whole family with these words...white trash-back taxes-loves black penis...
The negative remarks are from haters who are jealous of their lifestyle bu*****ch every show just to hate their fame.
wow...she did something good and still getting crap for it! well I think good on her for helping the WWF!!
Go Khloe!!
Khloe is my favorite Kardashian. Kim is my least favorite Kardashian.

Front Door Only Policy Begins On Green Line Branch

BOSTON (CBS) – The MBTA is cracking down on fare evaders one of its busiest routes. They have ordered trolley drivers along a stretch of the Green Line to open only the front doors.
Some riders worry this will slow them down, but it should make it more fair.
Effective Tuesday, at most above-ground stops on the D Line, only the front doors of the trolleys will open.
The goal is to stop people from hopping on the T without paying. Riders recognize the new policy might slow things down, but some say it's worth it.
But for riders who say the Green Line's already slow and crowded, even the concession that all doors will still open during rush hour isn't much consolation.
