Toyota ShareLunker 537 Comes from Lake Austin
Oct. 16, 2012
Larry Hodge, 903-676-2277, email@example.com
Catch is earliest entry ever from Lake Austin
Note: This item is more than seven years old. Please take the publication date into consideration for any date references.
ATHENS—Bennett Cowan of San Marcos caught Toyota ShareLunker 537 about 2:00 a.m. October 16 from Lake Austin.
The 14.28-pound fish was 20.5 inches in girth and 27.25 inches long. Lake Austin has now produced 18 entries into the ShareLunker program, five of which weighed 14 pounds or more.
Cowan's catch was also the earliest entry into the ShareLunker program from Lake Austin. The earliest previous entry into the program from the lake came on January 27, 2011. Two entries have come from the lake in January, seven each in February and March, and one in April.
The catch may be a signal that Lake Austin is poised to have a banner year. On Monday, October 1, an angler caught a 12.6-pound bass from Lake Austin that proved to have been entered into the program as ShareLunker 528 by Brett Ketchum in January 2012.
Lake Austin continues its rise to prominence as one of the top largemouth bass lakes in the state. Only Lakes Fork (249 entries into the ShareLunker program), Alan Henry (25), O.H. Ivie (25), Sam Rayburn (23) and Falcon (19) have produced more 13-pound or bigger bass.
Bennett was fishing a bluff with a hand-poured 17-inch worm when the fish bit. Anglers fishing for big bass at night often use large plastic worms on the theory that the big baits move a lot of water and are easier for the fish to detect.
The fish was picked up by Nathan Reynolds of the A.E. Wood State Fish Hatchery in San Marcos and taken there to await the results of DNA testing. If the bass is pure Florida, it will be moved to the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center in Athens and held for spawning. If not, it will be returned to the lake as soon as possible.
Anyone legally catching a 13-pound or bigger largemouth bass from Texas waters, public or private, between October 1 and April 30 may submit the fish to the Toyota ShareLunker program by calling the ShareLunker hotline at (903) 681-0550 or paging (888) 784-0600 and leaving a phone number including area code. Fish will be picked up by TPWD personnel within 12 hours.
ShareLunker entries are used in a selective breeding program at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center (TFFC) in Athens. Some of the offspring from these fish are stocked back into the water body from which they were caught. Other ShareLunker offspring are stocked in public waters around the state in an attempt to increase the overall size and growth rate of largemouth bass in Texas.
Anglers entering fish into the Toyota ShareLunker program receive a free replica of their fish, a certificate and ShareLunker clothing and are recognized at a banquet at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center in Athens.
The person who catches the season's largest entry will be named Angler of the Year. If a Texas angler catches the largest entry of the season, that person also receives a lifetime fishing license.

The site also includes a searchable database of all fish entered into the program along with pictures where available.
Information on current catches, including short videos of interviews with anglers when available, is posted on http://www.facebook.com/sharelunkerprogram.
The Toyota ShareLunker Program is made possible by a grant to the Texas Parks & Wildlife Foundation from Gulf States Toyota. Toyota is a long-time supporter of the Foundation and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, providing major funding for a wide variety of education, fish, parks and wildlife projects.

Reposting a report by peberlein in the launchpad hybrid-graphics-linux mailing list about the Asus EEEPC 1215N hybrid graphics. Instructions:
git clone http://github.com/peberlein/acpi_call.git
cd acpi_call
sudo insmod acpi_call.ko
[Hybrid-graphics-linux] Asus 1215N success
I successfully powered down the Nvidia device in my Asus 1215N. I modified the apci_call module and created a script to power it off and on. Here is the github fork:
I owe a huge thanks to Mkottman for acpi_call and George Shearer for m11xr2hack. Those sources were excellent for learning about acpi and buffers.
I modified the acpi_call module to allow byte buffers to be passed as parameters, and also to return the acpi_object result in /proc/acpi/call. Being able to see the result helped me figure out some of the state in the acpi methods.
The 1215N is similar to the m11x r2 in that it requires a special method (_DSM) being called with buffer arguments before the _PS3 method will turn the power off. I also found that the _PS0 method turns the power back on. After turning off the power, the power state appears to be set in the _PSC object: 0x0 when on, and 0x3 when off. Except this isn't accurate after the system has been put in standby - the power is on (according to the battery rate) but the_PSC is still 0x3. I have to use the script to turn the power off again after coming out of standby.

WASHINGTON - Yelps of support and echoing applause greeted the voice booming over the loudspeakers Wednesday at the scheduled start of practice for the East Regional's fourth seed: "Coached by Jim Boeheim, please welcome the Syracuse Orange!"
And ... nothing. No sign of Boeheim or any of his players. Not until 6½ minutes later did they finally make their way onto the court they'll return to Thursday night to face No. 1 seed Indiana in the NCAA tournament's round of 16.
Syracuse never really did show up the last time it played a game at this arena: The Orange lost their Big East regular-season finale three weeks ago against host Georgetown 61-39, their fewest points since December 1962 and fourth loss in five games.
"I can't remember that game," Boeheim deadpanned Wednesday, face straight and arms crossed. "Just can't remember."
Maybe so. But since that disappointing performance, Syracuse (28-9) has gone on a run, winning five of its last six games to reach the Big East tournament final and join Indiana (29-6), No. 2 Miami and No. 3 Marquette to form the only group of 1-4 seeds left in any NCAA region this year.
It's only the 15th time since the tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985 - and first since 2009 - that the four highest seeded teams advanced to the regional semifinals, according to STATS LLC.
"That probably is a little surprising," Indiana freshman guard Yogi Ferrell said. "It shows that we are all high-level programs, and all great teams, and we know how to win."
No Florida Gulf Coasts in this crowd, that's for sure. This is a collection of college basketball's big boys, with two teams from the Big East, and one each from the Big Ten and Atlantic Coast Conference. Three of the four have won the national title at least once, including Syracuse in 2003.
That championship, Boeheim said, allowed him to finally move past his team's loss to Indiana in the 1987 final - aka "The Keith Smart Game" - the last time these two schools met in men's basketball.
"When you lose a game like that, you really almost never get over it," Boeheim said. "I got over it in 2003. I probably thought about it for those (16) years, most of the time. I never think about it anymore."
Syracuse will confront Indiana on Thursday with its 2-3 zone, typically tough for teams that aren't used to seeing that sort of system.
As Indiana coach Tom Crean put it: "The challenge never ceases."
"No one plays a 2-3 zone the whole 40 minutes. We've never seen that before," said Ferrell, whose 146 assists (a 4.2 average) are the second-most in history by an Indiana freshman, trailing only Isiah Thomas' 159 in 1979-80.
"You may think that a pass is there, and it's not there the next second. You may throw it and get a turnover," Ferrell said. "Visually it's going to be very tough to find those openings, but if we move well, we'll be OK."
Indiana - which got a visit Thursday from Crean's brother-in-law, Super Bowl champion coach John Harbaugh of the up-the-road Baltimore Ravens - was ranked No. 1 in The Associated Press preseason poll and spent more weeks at the top spot than anyone else in 2012-13.
The Hoosiers were led in scoring (16.7) and rebounding (8.0) by sophomore forward Cody Zeller. It's junior guard Victor Oladipo, however, who is the contender for national player of the year honors.
Oladipo averaged 13.6 points and 6.4 rebounds this season, was the Big Ten's defensive player of the year and hit a 3-pointer with 14 seconds left to lift Indiana past Temple last weekend.
Oladipo knows this week's NCAA regional site well, having played at the arena while in high school at D.C.-area power DeMatha.
"I'm going to have a lot of family and friends here, but at the same time, it's a business trip. We're here to be successful," he said.
"Yeah, I won (on this court) in the past," Oladipo added. "But that has nothing to do with the future and the present."
Boeheim probably feels the same way - about Thursday's site and opponent.

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration on Tuesday overturned another Bush-era energy policy, setting aside a draft plan to allow drilling off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
"To establish an orderly process that allows us to make wise decisions based on sound information, we need to set aside" the plan "and create our own timeline," Interior Secretary Ken Salazar announced in a statement.
Alleging that the Bush administration "had torpedoed" offshore renewable energy in favor of oil and natural gas, Salazar said he was extending the public comment period by 6 months.
"The additional time we are providing will give states, stakeholders, and affected communities the opportunity to provide input on the future of our offshore areas," he said.
Salazar also ordered Interior Department experts to compile a report on the Outer Continental Shelf's energy potential — not just oil and gas, but also renewables like wind and wave energy.
"In the biggest area that the Bush administration's draft OCS plan proposes for oil and gas drilling — the Atlantic seaboard, from Maine to Florida — our data on available resources is very thin, and what little we have is twenty to thirty years old," he said. "We shouldn't make decisions to sell off taxpayer resources based on old information."
The Interior Department oversees 1.75 billion acres on the Outer Continental Shelf, an area that's about three fourths the size of the entire United States.
Environmentalists and some tourism-dependent coastal states oppose the drilling, citing the potential for spills and urging an emphasis on renewable energy instead. Energy companies counter that drilling has become safer over the years and that royalties from any finds would be in the billions of dollars.
"I intend to issue a final rulemaking ... in the coming months, so that potential developers know the rules of the road," Salazar said. "This rulemaking will allow us to move from the 'oil and gas only' approach of the previous administration to the comprehensive energy plan that we need."
"We need a new, comprehensive energy plan that takes us to the new energy frontier and secures our energy independence," he added. "We must embrace President Obama's vision of energy independence for the sake of our national security, our economic security, and our environmental security."
Moratorium ended last year
The Bush administration had authorized the Interior Department to open areas off both coasts to oil and gas drilling during a five-year period. That move came after a moratorium on drilling there expired last year. Offshore drilling is already allowed in the Gulf of Mexico.
Both Obama and Salazar have said that expanding offshore oil drilling should be worked out with Congress as part of a broad energy blueprint, and not independent action by the Interior Department.
The move comes a week after the Interior Department shelved energy leases on 130,000 acres near two national parks and other federally protected lands in Utah.
In Congress, Democrats have long wanted to rewrite the rules on royalties from offshore drilling, arguing that energy companies have been paying too little.
Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass., praised the move as an end to "drill first and ask questions later".
"The tide has turned back towards reason and a comprehensive energy plan for our country that sees promise in the winds and the tides, not just in drills and rigs," added Markey, who chairs the select committee on energy independence and global warming.
But House Republicans last week urged Obama not to close areas off the Atlantic and Pacific coastlines.
"We respectfully urge that you allow the five-year offshore drilling plan to continue because it is vital to our economy," the lawmakers, led by House Republican leader John Boehner, said in a letter. "Our country needs to remain on the path to American energy independence, and we believe this is a critical and achievable goal."
Jack Gerard, president of the American Petroleum Institute, which represents the large oil companies, said Salazar's announcement "means that development of our offshore resources could be stalled indefinitely."
31 lease sales were proposed
The preliminary plan drawn up by the Bush administration would have authorized 31 energy exploration lease sales between 2010 and 2015 for tracts along the East Coast and off the coasts of Alaska and California.
The Republican lawmakers cited a study that concluded the untapped offshore oil and gas reserves would create more than 160,000 jobs by 2030 and provide the government with $1.7 trillion in royalties on the oil and gas drilled.
Congress last year failed to renew the long-standing moratorium on oil and gas exploration across 85 percent of the nation's Outer Continental Shelf, leaving all waters potentially open to drilling.
Then, four days before leaving office, officials in the Bush administration issued the draft plan, which called for energy leases in areas that until recently had been off limits for a quarter century.
The Interior Department estimates — using 30-year-old studies — that the offshore waters lifted from drilling bans last year contain at least 18 billion barrels of oil, about half of it off California.
Reuters and The Associated Press contributed to this report..

They're Baaaaaaack!
This story appears in the March 2001 issue of Entrepreneurs Start-Ups magazine. Subscribe »
Many faces have graced the pages of Entrepreneur over the years. We've profiled manufacturers and marketers, developers and dotcoms. And the one thing most of them had in common? We never talked to them again.
Hold on-we're not as heartless as you might think. To give you a look at how some of our entrepreneurs of old have fared over the years, we've tracked down several Young Millionaires who have appeared in our annual special.
What we found were businesses that have merged and grown, and entrepreneurs who have done the one thing many can't do: survive. We could take credit and say "We always knew they'd succeed. We sure know how to pick 'em." Instead, we'll point to the tenacious biz owners themselves and show how each has authored his or her own history.
A Prosperous Union
Todd Bernstein, L.A. TEL (formerly Corporate Telecomm)
|Then & Now
No. of employees
1991: 20
2001: 40
1991: $3 million
2000: $4.3 million
Biggest change
Corporate Telecomm merged with L.A.-Tel in 1999.
While We Were
From an on-fire go-getter to a more mellow leader, life has changed considerably for Todd Bernstein, founder of Corporate Telecomm, since we last spoke with him in 1991. Though he still works from the same Van Nuys, California, location providing office phone systems, his company changed size and shape after merging with L.A. TEL in 1999.
"[The merger] was a good way for me to grow on a personal level and to instantly increase sales," says Bernstein, who took the lead role as managing member of the new company. But the change presented its challenges: Bernstein says it took about six months for the two company cultures to truly merge. Combining offices so the two groups of employees could work together helped. "We [didn't want] a 'we/they' mentality," he says. "Finally, people realized we're all the same company."
Over the years, Bernstein's ridden out the ebbs and flows of the changing economy. A dip in sales during the recession of the early '90s hurt, but Bernstein continued to run the business conservatively, always keeping enough cash on hand. His philosophy when times get rough: The owner is last one to get paid and first one to go without.
While Bernstein's economic instincts haven't changed, his role has. He says he feels more like a manager than an entrepreneur-instead of being involved with every meeting and decision, he delegates now. He sees himself steering the ship, not so much working the decks. "You get more mellow as you get older," he says. "When I started, it was [all about] burning the midnight oil. Now I'm 39, and I've got three young children. You just sort of take the perspective that you're working for a quality of life, and you need to bring balance [to it]."

A few Sourcebook titles have made The New York Times Bestseller List.
While We Were
Bestselling books. Top-name authors. Continuous growth. It's been a wild and successful ride for Dominique Raccah, 44, since we last wrote about her company, Sourcebooks, in 1992. Back then, she published business-related titles and boasted sales of about $1 million. Today, she publishes all different types of books-from mediafusion (books that come with audio) to fiction (under the Sourcebooks Landmark imprint)-to the tune of $25 million.
Raccah points to her company's fierce devotion to its authors and to publishing quality books as the secret of her success. That, and the determination to prove her doubters wrong. People said Sourcebooks wouldn't be able to attract top-name authors and should only publish within a certain niche. Building a successful publishing house in Naperville, Illinois, was unheard of-all the big names were in New York City. "There are a lot of cliches and assumptions about independent publishers in America today," says Raccah. "We've [heard] a long list of 'you can't, you shouldn't, it won't work that way' that we've been debunking for the last 13 years."
The changing face of the publishing industry in the past decade aided Raccah's cause. As larger publishers consolidated, mid-list authors were hurt in the crunch. Smaller publishers like Sourcebooks thrived by giving those writers the special attention the larger houses couldn't.
The past few years have been especially triumphant. Three Sourcebooks mediafusion titles-And The Fans Roared, We Interrupt This Broadcast and The Crowd Goes Wild-have made The New York Times Bestseller List. "The first time you make [the List], your jaw drops a little, and there's a silence that goes over the room," says Raccah. "It's pretty amazing."
Looking ahead, Raccah plans to enter the e-books market. And in an industry that already publishes about 50,000 books a year-not counting e-books-the real challenge will be to get noticed. "I think with the advent of the Internet and e-publishing, you're looking at millions of books. The big question will be, How will readers know about those books and how to find them? We're going to have to find a way to get a reader to a book. That's going to [be harder] than when we had a limited number of books in a [traditional] environment. "
Regardless of industry changes, Raccah's core philosophy remains constant. "Publishing is a craft," she says. "I'm passionate about creating books that will resonate in people's minds."

The company also sells doughnuts and cookies, such as Rocky Road long johns and French Toast doughnuts.
While We Were
What do you do if you're a fledgling entrepreneur and you lose a customer who accounts for 45 percent of your total business?
"You mean after they scrape you off the floor?" jokes Kenny Munic, 30, co-founder of Little Miss Muffin, a Chicago bakery that specializes in creative, low-fat muffins such as Peach Blueberry Cobbler and Raspberry Poached Pear.
Founded in 1993, Little Miss Muffin could have gone out of business when it losts its biggest customer in 1997-but it rode out of the storm. Today the company, which Munic runs with sister and co-founder Staci Munic, 34, projects revenue of $3.5 million for 2000, up from $1.5 million when we first profiled them in 1995. "We sucked it up and worked longer hours and got more customers," says Kenny Munic. "At the end of the following year, we replaced 100 percent of the lost business."
The brother-sister tandem also expanded, and in 1997 founded Big Shoulders Baking, a full-fat muffin line featuring temptations such as Carrot Cake Muffins and Quadruple Berry Scones. In 1998, the Munics launched Donut Boy, which serves up creative concoctions like Rocky Road long johns, Toffee Bar Crunch doughnuts and French Toast doughnuts. According to Munic, creativity is what sets his companies apart. "We try to launch three new products per quarter," he says. "Our products are unique because that's what our customers want."
Munic also thinks that working with his sister (currently on maternity leave) is a big advantage. "We enjoy working together, and we get a huge sense of satisfaction from creating things," says Munic. "That's the key to our success."

Ebbets Field Flannels has expanded to include vintage hockey and football jerseys.
While We Were
Fresh off the buzz of baseball films like Field of Dreams and Bull Durham, Jerry Cohen had a hit with his vintage sportswear apparel company, Ebbets Field Flannels, when we profiled him in 1991. With sales approaching $1 million, he'd found his niche.
What he didn't predict was the fact that his specialty would soon become crowded with competitors. "Big fashion companies have taken the looks we originated and spun them into their own fashion design," says Cohen, 43. "Being a small company, it's more challenging to get our message out than it was nine years ago."
Never one to back down from a challenge, Cohen did what few would dare do in the face of hardship: He expanded. He began making vintage baseball hats and apparel in lower price ranges as well as moving into other sports, namely hockey and football. The strategy worked. By 1998, Ebbets Field Flannels had commanded enough attention for the NFL to commission the company to make historically accurate uniforms for the league's nostalgic "Throwback Games." Ebbets Field Flannels have also been worn by rock group Pearl Jam and featured on The Late Show with David Letterman.
Even though the past decade has brought many changes to the historic sports apparel market, the most profound differences are in Cohen himself. Where he once did everything from accounting to marketing, Cohen now enlists the help of professionals to take on the more technical aspects of his Seattle business-like finance and management. That way, he can now concentrate on his first love: sharing the rich history of sports. "We take a product and we wrap an interesting story around it," says Cohen. "We give people a window to the past."

"The conquests are more satisfying," says Overly. "Now I'm back to a full entrepreneurial role, and it's a lot more fun."
While We Were
Happiness is found in starting something new, says Mark Overly, who founded Kaladi Brothers Coffee back in 1987. "There is a difference between entrepreneurship and managing," he says. "When you get big, you can have lots of toys, but it's empty if you're not doing what you love."
Overly opened his first store in Anchorage, Alaska, and added five more in the state over the next 10 years. When we caught up with him in 1995, the company was reaping $4.2 million per year. But as the business grew, Overly felt increasingly less like the adventurous entrepreneur he'd started out as. "I felt constrained," he says. "I became more identified with employee and management meetings. And I missed the freedom of a small organization."
In 1999, Overly sold his Alaskan outlets and moved to Den-ver, where he opened a new Kaladi Brothers store. "I had 88 employees in 1995; I have five now," he says. "It would have been safer to stay in Alaska, but I wanted a small, guerrilla-type business [again]."
The Denver store expects sales to be around $600,000 for fiscal 2000-2001. Better still, Overly is doing what he wants.

Calhoun Enterprises grew to become the 25th-largest African American-run company in the United States, according to Black Enterprise magazine.
While We Were
At 16, Gregory Calhoun bagged items at a supermarket in Montgomery, Alabama. At 30, he ran the store. Now 47, he is president and CEO of Calhoun Enterprises Inc., the second-largest African American-run company in the South, according to Black Enterprise magazine.
"As the company has grown, my role has changed," says Calhoun. "Now I [create] opportunities rather than handle daily operations." He consults with major companies on diversity issues, and his work with the Rev. Jesse Jackson on several projects also gives the firm national prominence. Yet Calhoun has trouble gaining fair access to capital. "It's hard for us to get the credit it takes to operate a business our size," he says. "I sit on bank boards that lend people three times as much money, without half as much as I own. The good old boys system still exists."
Still, Calhoun's sales have doubled since 1992, and he projects earnings of $100 million for 2000. More important, he says, "People have grown with the company through employment opportunities, and in that way, I'm giving something back to my community."

What hasn't changed
Micro Express stayed afloat despite drastic industry changes by offering high-quality computers, service and warranties.
While We Were
Over the past decade, micro-processors have gotten faster, hard drives bigger and laptops more compact. And what's state-of-the-art today might be obsolete in six months. Art Afshar has been at ground zero of the industry since we featured his Irvine, California, firm, Micro Express, in 1991.
Keeping up with the changes while competing against major brands like Dell and Gateway isn't easy, but Afshar has kept his edge by staying true to his philosophy of developing high-quality computers, offering a great warranty and delivering strong service.
And Afshar, 38, has done it without bowing to trends. During the mid-'90s, when the big thing was bargain-basement computers, Afshar continued building his custom-designed products ($1,500 for desktops and $2,000 for notebooks, on average). "We're in a very volatile and competitive industry," he says. "It's been that way since Day One-and it's getting worse. The best way we can differentiate ourselves is with service." For example, Afshar provides 24-hour tech support.
Afshar's customers were mainly businesses back in 1991. Now at least 80 percent of his new clients are consumers looking for home computers. At least half of that business is the result of Afshar's Web site, which not only influences sales, but also reinforces the company's emphasis on service. "We can make a change in the morning," he says, "and it's accessible to customers immediately-whereas before it took more than a week."
Micro Express has doubled the number of computers sold due to a more efficient manufacturing system, and its PCs have garnered high ratings from PC magazines-so Afshar's dedication is paying off. He says, "I'm sure we would have been gone by now if we had switched our philosophy."

Embracing the Cloud - Addressing the Fear of the Known
In recent years, we have been inundated with all sorts of information relating to "the cloud". Various school of thoughts on definitions of the cloud and several debates on differences between cloud services, managed hosting etc. Despite these debate there is one thing the various schools of thought have in common: Risks
As the inevitable adoption of cloud services continue to grow, it is important to ensure best practice approach is taken to embrace an area that has not only been in existence for a long time but here to stay.
This webinar focuses less on the technology offerings available but rather best practice approach to managing risks relating to cloud services adoption .It provides high level information on addressing the fears of the known (security, availability, trust and performance) and how best to maximize its benefits without increasing exposure to risks

Ulf Mattsson | Damien Chastrette | William Miroux
Global commerce was in transition before the pandemic. Now, businesses are accelerating their digital aspirations and work will never be the same. Mobility has raised business productivity, but it's brought its share of issues, as well. One of the biggest challenges is the need to provide complete, consistent security across devices that you may not own.
• How do I control in one place the security and identification of all devices connecting to my network?
• How can I address the challenge of managing security in a world where cloud computing, mobility and the Internet of things are eroding the network perimeter?
• How can I provide Data Privacy and Data Security and be compliant with GDPR and local regulations?
• How do I give support engineers access to my organization's admin portal, provides Internet security, web security, firewalls, sandboxing, SSL inspection, antivirus, vulnerability management and granular control of user activity in cloud computing, mobile and Internet of things environments?
• How can I provide automated threat forensics and dynamic malware protection against advanced cyber threats, such as advanced persistent threats and spear phishing.
• How can I repurpose the existing WiFi and create key metrics of the deployment and visitors use and integrate data with existing CRM tools?
• How do I dissociate and secure the use of my network among daily guests, consultants, employees and IOT devices?
We will discuss how a cloud-based proxy and firewall can route all traffic through its software to apply corporate and security policies.

Fast, Secure, Scalable: Why IoT Needs Automation to Succeed
Jun 9 2020

Johna Till Johnson, CEO and Founder, Nemertes Research; Russell Rice, VP Product Strategy at Ordr
IoT initiatives are exploding. Nemertes has found that companies with successful IoT initiatives are increasing both the number of projects and the device count, with growth that ranges up to 100%+ year over year.
Scaling these initiatives requires scaling not only the IoT solutions, but also the infrastructure and cybersecurity environments in which they operate. As enterprise technologists begin to apply next-generation cybersecurity approaches like zero-trust, they need to think seriously about how to automate the control and management of their cybersecurity and infrastructure.
The answer? Automation. Successful organizations are more likely to automate earlier, more aggressively, and more comprehensively—with dramatic improvements in performance, security, and reliability.
Find out why automation is critical to securing, managing, and scaling IoT—and what best practices can help ensure success in implementing it.

Ransomware, ransomware, ransomware. Why are our current endpoint defenses so inefficient? We will take three leading endpoint security (antivirus) products and demonstrate live how ransomware developers use trivial techniques to bypass all of them. Often a single line of code is all that's needed to render antivirus ineffective and all data lost.
NOTE: This webinar is applicable to technical audience only. We will be digging right in the source code and compiling ransomware on the fly.

Storage Networking Security Series: Protecting Data at Rest
May 27 2020
40 mins
Pierre Mouallem, Lenovo; Ahmad Atamli, Mellanox; Steve Vanderlinden, Lenovo
One of the most important aspects of security is how to protect the data that is just "sitting there." How easy is it to get to? Who can get to it? If someone does get access to the data, can they read it? What are the potential risks of the wrong people reading the data? These are just a few of the questions that we try to answer when we go through the process of securing data.
Contrary to popular belief, however, securing "data at rest" is not simply encrypting the data. While it is true that data encryption plays a major role in securing "data at rest," there are several other factors that come into play and are equally as important – if not more so.
For this webcast, we're going to talk about those other factors (Encryption is deserving of its own, specific webcast). We will present the end-to-end process to securing "data at rest," and discuss all the factors and trade-offs that must be considered, and some of the general risks that need to be mitigated, discussing:
• How requirements for "data at rest" differ from "data in flight"
• Legal and regulatory reasons to protect (or delete) data at rest
• Where and how data could be attacked
• Understanding the costs of ransomware
• How to protect cryptographic keys from malicious actors
• Using key managers to properly manage cryptographic keys
• Strengths and weaknesses of relying on government security recommendations
• The importance of validating data backups... how stable is your media?

Chenxi Wang | Vishwanath Raman | Michelle Dennedy | Tom Pendergast
In the fight against COVID-19, countries are taking urgent actions to address the crisis. Some are turning to tech to find solutions for containing the spread of the virus. Digital contact tracing, in particular, is gaining a lot of traction. For example, Apple and Google recently announced a rare collaboration to jointly facilitate contact tracing within their mobile platforms for public health monitoring applications.
So, what does this mean for privacy?
While some efforts are being made to preserve user privacy, like not tracking user location or collecting other identifying information, digital contact tracing can still reveal more user information than necessary.
Join this panel of security and privacy experts lead by Chenxi Wang to learn more about the different implications associated with digital contact tracing, how it is being used around the world, and the long-term effects of COVID-rushed decisions.

Colin Whittaker with Chad Wood, Galvanize; Joseph Carson, Thycotic; Chad Carter, Wallix; and Ilia Sotnikov, Netwrix
Security practitioners around the world are struggling to cope with the challenges posed by remote workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. With all users working from home simultaneously, there is a tremendous load and increased security risks across private networks and the cloud. In light of more workers accessing data from the cloud, many organizations are taking a "zero trust" approach, including the use of solutions such as Privileged Access Management (PAM).
If your organization is just getting started with a Privileged Access Management (PAM) program, or you are focused on implementing advanced PAM strategies to align with a COVID-19 environment, this CPE accredited webinar will address what you need to know for data security. Our panel of experts will outline the key challenges and offer some clear recommendations that emphasize the critical role of people, processes and technology in effectively mitigating PAM risk, including:
- Tracking and Securing Every Privileged Account
- Governing and Controlling Access
- Recording and Auditing Privileged Activity
- Operationalizing Privileged Tasks
- Creating a Zero Trust environment

- The year of ransomware
- How cities and states are coping with the scourge of ransomware
- The ransomware dilemma: Pay the ransom or fight the infection
- How AI is enabling - and helping fight - ransomware attacks
- Ransomware as a threat to democracy
Moderator: David Morris, Executive Director at Digital Risk Management Institute
- Lee Imrey, Cybersecurity Advisor, Splunk
- Brett Foy, Global Vice President, Engineering, Datrium
- Lance James, CEO of Unit 221B
This episode is part of the Election Hacking Original series examining the threats to democratic elections, the technologies used to power and hijack elections, and what's needed to educate and empower voters before Election Day.

Storage Networking Security Series – Encryption 101
May 20 2020
60 mins
Judy Furlong, Dell Technologies; Ed Pullin, Intel; Alex McDonald, NetApp
Encryption has been used through the ages to protect stored secrets, authenticate messages, communicate secretly in broad daylight, and even to check that messages were properly transmitted and received without tamper. Now, it's often our first go-to tool for making sure that data simply isn't readable to prying eyes, ears or AI bots.
But how does encryption actually work, what makes it tick, and how is it managed? How do we ensure compatibility? How do we protect the keys; i.e., "Who will guard the guards themselves?"
It's a big topic that we're breaking down into three parts: Encryption 101, Key Management 101, and Applied Cryptography.
Join us on May 20th for the first encryption webcast: Storage Networking Security: Encryption 101 where security experts will cover:
•A brief history of Encryption
•Cryptography basics
•Definition of terms – Entropy, Cipher, Symmetric & Asymmetric Keys, Certificates and Digital signatures, etc.
•Introduction to Key Management

Cybersecurity Strategy and Leadership for the SMB
May 20 2020
56 mins
Diana Kelley | Susan Whittemore | Jay Ryerse | Courtney Radke
Smaller businesses have a common problem when it comes to cybersecurity - limited expertise, resources and budget.
The board is asking for, clients are demanding to know whether the company is secure, IT team can't articulate the cybersecurity program, because there isn't one.
Cybersecurity is sometimes an afterthought for a start-up, or delegated to one engineer. There's a tendency to think of cybersecurity as a set of tactical, technical implementations to cover obvious threats rather than a business problem.
We'll discuss the role of the CISO in terms of providing the leadership and strategy for a cohesive, risk based program. Ideally, the role is not a technician.
With an ever-evolving threat landscape and a growing business, where does a business start to build and maintain an affordable program? We'll discuss a baseline program, technologies required, focusing on fewest technologies for maximum benefit.
This episode is part of The (Security) Balancing Act series with Diana Kelley. Viewers are encouraged to ask questions during the live Q&A.

Threat Analysis and Breach Protection
May 14 2020

Kalani Enos, Partner/VCISO/Threat Analysis, Immersion Security
As the world continues the work-from-home initiative in order to combat the COVID-19 threat to humanity, organizations must also consider that threat actors (hackers, Advanced Persistent Threats, etc.) may take this opportunity to exploit existing vulnerabilities normally mitigated in an office environment behind a firewall, as an example, but not necessarily mitigated in a Telework environment. This presentation will discuss the following topics
- Discuss the recent rise Threat Actor exploits of Telework applications, and provide a means of 'visibility' by organizations to detect, analyze and remediate threats attempting to exploit vulnerabilities.
- Visibility into emerging threat capabilities to introduce ransomware and malware into a remote computer/mobile device. Example: COVIDLOCK ransomware on Android smart phones and how to detect and remediate.
- How VPN is only a step in the right direction towards accessing and transmitting secure, sensitive data. How additional applications and best practices can assist organizations to maintain Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability (CIA) in the near-immediate term.
- The advantage of educating employees on the dangers associated with working remote, and whether use of personal devices versus company-provided devices are viable options.
- How Software as a Service (SaaS), Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) providers can assist your organization in maintaining effective CIA in a Work From Home environment. The presenter will also discuss limitations and the often overlooked Shared Responsibility.

All You Need to Know about Secure Coding with Open Source Software
May 14 2020
51 mins
Javier Perez, Product Management, Open Source and Security Advisor
In this session you are going to hear about application security and open source software. A review of how open source software grows and how vulnerabilities are created. Vulnerabilities in open source software increase the risks of exploitation, it is critical then to understand the dynamics of how open source software is built and to have a plan in place to reduce risk. A security plan around visibility, early stage in the development lifecycle and policy governance.
Open source sparks innovation, it provides bug fixes and security fixes, the solution is not to stop using open source software. All new technologies from AI and Machine Learning to Virtual Reality, self-driving cars and robotics are built in the open, so there's no turn back. The best approach is to keep up with the progress in open source, to shift-left and automate application security.
This session will provide:
-Insight into how open source software works and grows
-How to address security for open source components
-How to keep up with constant changes and new vulnerabilities

Wait! Where is everyone? Security in the Time of the Remote Workforce
May 13 2020
64 mins
Vishnu Varma (Idaptive) & Senthil Palaniappan (Sennovate Inc.)
A few months ago, security vendors were offering up cyber threat predictions for 2020 and product roadmaps indicating how solutions were evolving to address the shifting threat landscape. Market research firms were sharing revenue projections and providing guidance to end-user organizations intended to help them solidify their security strategy and budgets for the year. And then along came the coronavirus.
The rapid on-set of a global pandemic has changed both the threat landscape and what organizations should be spending their security budgets on, almost overnight. An all-remote workforce opens the door to new opportunities for malicious activity by bad actors; stealing passwords and data is easier, and critical business applications are at greater risk as employees attempt to access both on-prem and cloud-based apps from home.
In this webinar, Identity and Access Management (IAM) experts from Sennovate and Idaptive will address the role IAM and adaptive multi-factor authentication (MFA), in particular, can play in both enabling and securing the remote workforce. Adaptive MFA, based on the oh-so-important principles of Zero Trust—"never trust, always verify"—holds the keys to dramatically reducing risk and improving compliance, no matter where an organization's employees are in the world. Best of all, adaptive MFA improves user productivity and happiness, while reducing IT and helpdesk overhead.
Attendees will gain an understanding of: the new or increased threats caused by the surge in remote workers; the critical role that IAM and adaptive MFA can play in filling any security gaps that may still exist across a far-flung labor force; and the benefits of adaptive MFA, including improved user productivity and job satisfaction, and reduced IT and helpdesk burden.

Mass. gov: No idea on Boston bomb suspects' motive
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The governor of Massachusetts said Sunday that he has no idea what motivated the brothers accused of exploding two bombs near the finish line of the Boston Marathon.
Speaking on CBS' "Face the Nation," Gov. Deval Patrick said it's hard to imagine why someone would deliberately harm "innocent men, women and children in the way that these two fellows did."
Patrick also said law enforcers believe the immediate threat ended when police killed one suspect and captured the other. The two suspects, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, were brothers whose family had come to the U.S. from Russia.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, was killed in a gunbattle with police Friday. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, was captured later Friday after being pulled bloody and wounded from a tarp-covered boat in a suburban Boston backyard. He is being guarded by armed officers while he recovers at a Boston hospital.
Three people were killed and more than 180 injured when two bombs, apparently fashioned out of pressure cookers, exploded Monday about four hours into the race. The brothers are also suspected of killing an MIT police officer and severely injuring a transit officer.
On Saturday, Patrick appeared on the field at Fenway Park with dozens of local and state police before the Boston Red Sox's first home game since the bombings. He said the hospitalized suspect was in serious but stable condition and wasn't able to communicate yet.

As someone living in the Netherlands and as someone who is keeping a close eye on what is changing in the industry and with the search engines I have one big problem: localized search. Google tends to localize your search results based on where you are, which means for me in the Netherlands it is quite difficult to see how State of Search is doing in for example Australia or even closer, Spain or France.
There are tools working on solutions for this problem, because for SEOs who work internationally it is difficult to see where you rank. One tool which looks at just this issue is "I Search From". Here you can see what results you get from a query in any country in the world, in any language you choose.
Take for example the term "State of Search Hangout". When I try the search in the US the State of Search Hangout page actually shows up in the top result, whereas in Holland it doesn't, in the Netherlands its actually Twitter which seems more important:
The tool has more options to it than 'just' searching in different countries. You can for example narrow your search down to city level and make a choice whether or not you want your search to be logged in and personalized. You can even choose a different device.
ISearchfrom uses the "gl" parameter in the url for the country and also adds parameters for the exact location. With that it 'overrules' the IP.
It is a handy tool which makes that it's no longer necessary to use proxies to tests different results in different countries or regions. Especially if you want the quick check on differences it is very useful.

State highway crews and National Guard troops worked furiously Sunday to repair highways to Colorado mountain towns cut off by unprecedented flooding.
Other teams were assessing how much damage needed to be repaired on Colorado's eastern plains before trucks begin hauling in the fall harvest.
"They're really humming," said Jerre Stead, the corporate executive chosen by Gov. John Hickenlooper to oversee the state's recovery from the catastrophic floods, which killed seven and wreaked havoc across 17 counties and 2,000 square miles.
Stead and Don Hunt, executive director of the Colorado Department of Transportation, said they were optimistic they can meet a Dec. 1 target to complete temporary fixes to at least some roads, if more bad weather doesn't interfere.
Quick repairs are critical because winter weather will make highway work more difficult and force the closure of the high-elevation Trail Ridge Road through Rocky Mountain National Park, one of only two routes still open into Estes Park, a small town at the park's east entrance.
Also looming are the harvests from Colorado's $8.5 billion-a-year agriculture industry, which relies on trucks to get cattle and crops to markets.
Officials said it's too early to know how much time and money it will take to make permanent repairs, but they say it will cost more than $100 million.
Some 200 miles of state highways and 50 bridges were destroyed.
On Sunday, Stead and Hunt drove up flood-battered U.S. 36 northwest of Denver until they reached a point where floodwaters had obliterated the road. Then they got out and hiked.
Holding his hands about shoulder-width apart, Stead said, "You're on paths this narrow where the roads used to be."
Residents who chose not to evacuate aboard National Guard helicopters gave them a lift at one point, Hunt said. Those isolated residents can drive along unscathed sections of highway but can't reach either Estes Park on the north or Lyons on the south.
Hunt said residents of Pinewood Springs had built makeshift trails along highway washouts and planned to escort some children along those paths to waiting vehicles today.
He didn't know how many children were making the trek or how far they would have to walk.
Stead said the devastation was worse than he expected, but Hunt was more optimistic.
"It's maybe not as bad as I thought," he said. "The damage is severe, but it's highly concentrated" in a few areas, mostly where roads share a narrow canyon with a river.
Hunt said the biggest difficulties will be getting construction materials into damaged areas and protecting workers and travelers from falling rocks loosened by days of heavy rain.
Colorado will award several contracts for emergency repairs to construction companies today. State employees and National Guard soldiers are already on the job and making quick progress, Stead said.
The federal government will reimburse the state up to $100 million for road repairs, CDOT spokeswoman Amy Ford said, but Colorado officials are pushing to raise that to $500 million, which she said was the cap for mid-Atlantic states rebuilding after Superstorm Sandy in 2012.
"It is critically important that we get this relief," she said.

If Comic Genesis ever starts behaving like a nice, stable webcomic host, I have a new website layout to upload. I'm tired of the drab black background. Although HC features vampires, it's more a romantic contemporary fantasy with a dash of mystery novel. Not really suited to gothy red and black.
As I write, the site is back up, but I'm not trying anything daring--like rebuilding the site--until things seem to be working for a few days.
So boring black for now. The Drunk Duck mirror looks sort of like what I have in mind.

From: "John P. Sexton" <jsexton@c...>
Date: Wed Jan 26, 2000 3:49 pm
Subject: Has anyone heard of this?
Hello all
I have found a wall system that a local company has developed for low cost
prefabricated housing. Its made up of 4" of expanded foam insulation sandwiched
between sheet metal.(just like steel security doors) Its fits together with a
tongue and groove held by screws, and it is self supporting so it doesn't need
any studs. The sheetrock then just screws to the walls with regular ole'
drywall screws. If I used these, it would be for the rooms within the existing
structure. Unfortunately they don't have any stc data so using them would be
just a guess. Has anyone heard of such a thing? I know of some second hand info
about a studio constructed of refrigeration panels (don't know if its the same
thing or not) that wasn't very successful. It seems like it should work, but I
just don't know. What do you think?
Thanks for your input
John P. Sexton

Marketing and programming for seniors must appeal to different ages, interests and abilities, but we must remember to define the similarities of this population and understand what attracts and keeps them in our clubs.
It's easy to program to the physically elite seniors (20 percent), and we have specific programs for the frail, physically limited or injured seniors (20 percent), but we need to focus on the majority of the population (60 percent) who will respond to programs that promote active aging. These programs should help eliminate loneliness, depression, apprehension and possible pain. They should encourage friendship, playfulness, laughter, spontaneity, games and recreational activities.
How do we do this? Let's look at the successes in our industry today and spend our time and energy on expanding and enhancing those successes.
The Silver Sneakers program is growing in nearly every club that offers it. You not only will see many ages in the classes, but you also will see several men in them as well. The program is a true example of creating a club within a club. Classes are marketed to the senior population and have some restrictions, but 2.5 million people in this country are eligible, and the exclusivity of the class seems to foster a connective feeling of immediate friendship and camaraderie. Unlike clubs that buy sophisticated equipment to attract and appease the older market, the Silver Sneakers program uses chairs, balls, bands and other props to create fun, doable exercise routines that everyone can relate to and enjoy.
Les Mills International and Body Training Systems are also licensed and trademarked programs available to you. Both organizations have recently developed their newest programs for this diverse senior population. They realized that we needed a product for this market that delivered more than physical benefits. It is refreshing to see at conventions how many instructors are taking the demonstration classes from these two organizations in order to become more educated on the market and more familiar with the choreography.
Club owners, managers, trainers, instructors and program directors should consider basic points when putting together a program for seniors:
Find a leader who will be the catalyst for the success of the program. The leader must be a role model to members and staff, demonstrating energy and enthusiasm as he or she encourages participants to do more than they thought they could.
Offer a variety of moves and exercises. Be sure to include strength and cardiovascular training, balance techniques, and flexibility and stretching. Employ creative use of props to keep things interesting.
Give recognition to individuals as well as to the class as a whole. You want to raise self-esteem and make everyone feel important, but the idea of creating the club-within-a-club environment is essential. Relationship building will be key to retention.
Encourage the class to interact verbally. This can be done with the teacher or with each other. Counting, singing and calling out answers to questions are great ideas.
Add educational material to your conversation within the class.
Choose music that is specific to your audience. Although a good beat and a happy tune are effective, familiar lyrics will immediately bring the group together if you encourage a sing-a-long to the repetitions.
Use the class as a marketing tool. People who have fun will usually want to bring in their friends. Fun and fitness equals growth and retention.

Quoting 222. BaltimoreBrian:THE FOLLOWING IS NOT FOR SAR2401 TO READ it might bring on convoluted convolutions.
This was after people from "other (king) worlds" dominated their (ancient people(s) of "gnowledge") "thoughts".
Originally the sticking into you know where was done to infants after infants being in specific dark caves for 3 days & 3 nights. These caves had certain crystal energy properties that react to low sun activities and create many of those flying plasma +++ orbs many call UFOs and are caught on video throughout South America, that's how they were picked by ancient "gnowledgeable" people observing which caves had "sphorbs" hovering over them, specially the plasma balls that make right turns.
These plasma balls many call UFOs i call "'sphorbs" and are the equatorial, low sun / INWARD activities version of the polar regions high sun/ outward activities Aurora Borealis.
As to the original "stickings" if the infant did not cry it had the ability to go into deep meditation and wore the purple colours and becam,e spiritual leaders that could read wxtrends years ahead of others.
MANY hundreds+++++++++++++++++++ of yrs later that became a religious way of life for some in Northern Africa (circumsn) & in S. America it became more to do with blood, battles and barbarisms due to the influence of European settlers beliefs, some called religious beliefs and that "times/periods" way of thinking.
Human development is not linear its cyclical
for ~12k yrs we LEAN TOWARDS male dominated, selfish, listen to elders without questioning, build outward & invade (now called war)
for ~12k yrs we LEAN TOWARDS female dominated, selfless, listen to youngsters without questioning, build inward, share (now called social)
Also being physical being these cycles blend as we learn by blend i mean go towards lower extreme swings of the pendulum.
What do i say causes these ~12,000 yr cycles i call duo-deciums? (really like every 11,500 yrs)
Its 1 of 3 "light" links that allowed humanity to exist as beings of self, soul & spirit (no not soooulll train), this particular cycle is caused by the Planets' Precession and this solar system maintaining a link between its sibling stars...stars?
only 1 Sun?!
ah but its sibling black star ~16 Lt Yrs away maintains a counter flow to out bright Star.
Study what happens when deep sounds are played onto a complex beings (humans) chakras, NOT GOOD (why harrp is bad cause its also sound from physically grounded sources, so is electrical "hum") now imagine sounds/resonances lower than 0.1 to the power of -32 bathing this planet every other 12,000 yrs or ~ half Earth precession, these "sounds" are ethereally grounded (as the ml-d) that is a healthier way to transmit sounds . Other clues left in ancient scriptures are what some today call religious hand gestures, its really how the planets & 2 stars dance in the heavens, in scriptures its called the battles between Lucifer (prince of darkness/black holes) and Sun of God and goes on & on no one winning cause its a cycle, but i digress this is a weather site. Tomorrow partly cloudy with some Sun, highs in the lower uppers, with 100% chance of something
sincerely part Mayan/Mian (doesn't make me right just "Gnowledgeable") or ya can call me, nut (Ra) though i'm wearing clothing and am a dude.
