How Attackers Target and Exploit Critical Business Applications
Applications such as ERP and CRM are the epitome of "business critical." They house key company and customer data, and integrate with many other corporate computing resources. Until fairly recently, IT pros paid less attention to these applications than to other more obviously vulnerable corporate resources. However, with these applications more and more often exposed to the Web, there has been a resulting uptick in interest in the apps -- and, thus, the attacks levied against them. IT and security pros have been reluctant to do much in the way of security for these applications because they're very complex and relatively inaccessible, and because any risk to their uptime strikes fear into the hearts of business managers.
In this Dark Reading report, we examine the security issues surrounding mission-critical business applications, how the increasing use of mobile and the cloud have also increased risk, and the ways in which IT can mitigate vulnerabilities. (S7270713)

Giving non-believers the freedom to speak their beliefs!
Giving non-believers the freedom to speak their beliefs! YAY!

Is this a backlash against the institutionalized
Is this a backlash against the institutionalized scientophobia and denialism of the Bush era, which persists today in some circles?

I think you'll find that most atheists concerned with
I think you'll find that most atheists concerned with spreading their beliefs this way are just as opposed to mainstream religious belief as what you may consider "scientophobia" and denialism. They view belief in God as irrational and harmful.

If these organizations have some alternative to religious
If these organizations have some alternative to religious faith that they have shown based on fact to be produce better results, then they should spread the word. I'm not aware of such evidence. Unfortunately, such campaigns appear to be motivated more by frustration, ego, narrow-mindedness and/or shortsightedness than well established fact.

Wait, is religious faith results-based? What results do
Wait, is religious faith results-based? What results do you feel justify someone personally forcing themselves to have faith (for if you don't decide to have faith, then who decides for you?). Do the ends justify the means, even if the means are based on falsehoods?
Also, do you really think that religion produces great results? With all the bloodshed, discrimination, hatred, division and ostracizing done in its name? I'm not going to deny that many if not most religious people are well-meaning and otherwise sane, but you have to admit that the majority of people throughout history who have started wars, killed indiscriminately, tortured their brethren, held slaves, valued money over human life, denied women full inclusion into society, inflicted horrors upon non-human animals ... were not (are not) most of them religious? What sort of results did their religion produce?
Atheists don't need to prove that nonbelief produces better results than belief. It's pretty obvious to any objective observer that belief (or more accurately, believers) has produced some rotten results.
"...well established fact."
Is religious outreach based on well-established fact? Faith is believing something even though there is an absence of evidence or fact to back up that belief. It's OK for religion to prey on people's emotional insecurities, but it's not OK for atheists to say, "Hey, just so you all know. We're here and we're not going away and we're not shutting up. In fact, we're going to get louder."
It seems to me that these campaigns owe their existence to the many religious people who believe, no matter who atheists are or what they do, that atheists are egotistical, narrow-minded and shortsighted. The messages may not reach you, Sanpete (and I'm sure that the crafters of these messages probably won't mind that they don't reach you), but they will reach a lot of nonbelievers who remain in the closet because of the negative social reactions they fear will come their way if they talk about their nonbelief.

Al, that's a lot of questions. I don't agree that it's
Al, that's a lot of questions. I don't agree that it's obvious that nonbelief produces better results. Nothing could be less obvious than the overall effects of religion or the lack of it. There has been a fair amount of research about various aspects of the question, but it's a tricky subject to study, with lots of potential confounding variables. I don't know what the state of the research is now, but I recall this review study from a decade or so ago that found evidence of some benefits:
"Religious involvement, spirituality, and medicine: implications for clinical practice"
by Mueller PS, Plevak DJ, Rummans TA
Division of General Internal Medicine, Department of Anesthesiology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn., 55905, USA
There has been more than plenty of bloodshed, discrimination, hatred, division and ostracizing done in the name of all kinds of nonreligious causes, even in the name of science and reason (as with 20th Century Marxism, officially science-based and atheistic). Yes, most of the evils of history have been committed by religious people, but then most people have been religious, so not much follows from that.
I don't know why you ask about people forcing themselves to have faith. It comes naturally to most. Relatively few people would try to believe something they know to be false, and I doubt it would be a good idea.
If what you're wondering is whether results should affect what beliefs people try to spread around, I think it should. More particularly, I don't see a good reason to try to get people to be atheists unless there's some good reason to expect better results. Why else would you do that? I think it's foolish and dangerous to assume that what has been a part of humanity for as long as we know of can be cavalierly dismissed as though we can obviously do just fine without it. Some care is called for.
"It's OK for religion to prey on people's emotional insecurities"
Didn't say that, did I?
I have nothing against atheists providing support for each other and promoting positive messages.
By the way, I'm an atheist, not that it matters to what I've said.

That should have been Freedom FROM Religion.

I think the answer is to NOT react out of fear. Avoid the knee jerk reaction and enter into a conversation. You never know, you might just learn something, and so might 'the other'. Weather your talking right vs. left, atheism vs. theism, fundamentalist vs. progressive, I think the true answer is conversation (and maybe 3 cups of tea). We have nothing to fear but fear itself. As I get older, my feathers get ruffled less and less by difference of viewpoint. Not that I don't have opinions. I just know more who I am and need less of a crowd to feel comfortable with that. I'm willing to have a conversation with anyone about my beliefs & how I got there. I'd encourrage discussion & dialogue all around.

I'm a non-believer, and though I can't help but be
I'm a non-believer, and though I can't help but be encouraged and excited by efforts to de-stigmatize non-belief and atheism, I also can't help feeling that these ads are a little weird. And it's not just the font on the FFRF banners. It probably has a lot to do with the fact that I never stop hearing Christians yammering on about how they're being attacked an oppressed, and they'll be rending their garments about how the atheists are trying to destroy their beliefs with these ads. Talk to me about oppression when you can't be honest with your own family about your beliefs for fear of rejection and shunning.

I am and have always been an atheist and I find these
I am and have always been an atheist and I find these adds offensive and pushy.

I am and have always been an atheist and I find American
I am and have always been an atheist and I find American claims of persecution baseless and historically out of context.
I am and have always been an atheist and I find the "Attack Proselytizing" of "god-fearing good folk" to be offensive. I especially am offended by the way that your "belonging" to a particular church in the Deep South is essential, not simply for not being a social pariah, but in matters of employment. Yes it isn't legal to ask but has never been much of an obstacle for this sort of discrimination.
We (atheists) have freedom of speech and religious choice in this country, same as theists. Their right to shove their beliefs in our faces must be balanced by our right to remind them that their "moral superiority" has authorized millions of deaths and calls for the deaths of billions more.
Reality is real: they can deny someone else's gods all they want but they can not be allowed to deny reality.

I don't like this.
Let atheists promote the positive
I don't like this.
Let atheists promote the positive aspects of their beliefs (or unbelief), like the one ad about the forces of physics. But most of these ads are openly critical of religion and those who do believe. That's not freedom of religion, that's aggressive, intolerant, and uncivil. I am Christian, and I don't tell my Jewish/Muslim/Buddhist friends that their beliefs are a myth--imagine how you'd feel about that.

I am always a bit baffled about this kind of stuff - it's
I am always a bit baffled about this kind of stuff - it's kind of like talking about whether or not you like the Designated Hitter rule in baseball. Why in the world does someone care about what I believe. The cynic in me drifts to thinking this, too, is about money.
Cheers everyone - and happy whatever floats your boat!

I only think 2 of the 5 are snide to believers ("you know
I only think 2 of the 5 are snide to believers ("you know it's a myth" & "what some believe").
Someone will have to explain to me why the other 3 are "aggressive, intolerant, and uncivil".
There's a joke among non-believers that you might be a "militant" atheist if you refuse to remain invisible.

I'm actually really troubled by ads that imply I can't be a humanist because I'm religious.

In our current world what we need more than anything is
In our current world what we need more than anything is tolerance. These ads don't seem to offer that any more than religious evangelism, regardless of the brand. Too bad. If atheists want to promote rationality, one would think that'd be the place to start.

In our current world, we can no longer afford tolerance
In our current world, we can no longer afford tolerance for beliefs based on faith unsubstantiated by evidence and held often in the face of contrary evidence.
If you act on beliefs that do not track reality and fail to act on those that do, catastrophe is the result. Whether it's the Roman Catholic Church sabotaging AIDS prevention campaigns in Africa by preaching against condom use, or government cutting funding to upgrade the levees in New Orleans pre-Katrina or denial of climate change or faith based bigotry leading to the mistreatment, unnecessary suffering and suicides of Gay, Lesbian, Bi and Transgendered youth. Not to mention the faith based brutalizing and denigration of women.
It Has Got To Stop.
If the secularizing movements are to be faulted for anything, it's their rather belated, overly polite and tepid pushback against this incessant barrage of cretinous faith based ignominy.
Thanks to the enlightenment and the onset of science secular humanism and the rule of law we graduated from "you may believe what we tell you to or suffer torture or death" which held sway at the height of ecclesiastical power in Europe (and still does under Islam) to "you may believe what ever you wish".
If humanity is to progress we must now evolve to "The strength of your belief must vary with the likelihood of it being true and the quality of the evidence that supports it".

What superior alternative to faith-based morality do you
What superior alternative to faith-based morality do you have in mind, and what is your evidence that it's superior? Your own claims appear largely false, exaggerated and/or faith-based to me, but maybe you have evidence for them.

Quran 8:12: "Instill terror in the hearts of the
Quran 8:12: "Instill terror in the hearts of the unbelievers. Strike off their heads and cut off fingers and toes"
"If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own hands" Leviticus 20:13
What ever mechanism (hopefully) triggered your rejection of the aforequoted specimens of faith-based morality, lets rely on it in the mean time, shall we?

That doesn't show at all that you have in mind any better
That doesn't show at all that you have in mind any better alternative. I also reject moral conclusions reached on the basis of many other ways of doing morality, including perfectly secular ways. So?
You really shouldn't be attempting to change others' profound and important beliefs based on such a casual, superficial and wrongheaded analysis. You shouldn't be so confident that your views are better either.

"If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both
"If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own hands" Leviticus 20:13"
Oh gosh, darn, heck, geez with so "many other ways of doing morality" and with such "profound and important beliefs" soooo deeply held by others how dare anyone be confident that not putting gays to death is a better alternative?
My own personal view is irrelevant. What is relevant is that, with the possible exception of flyover fundies, most Christians, their faith-based homophobia notwithstanding, reject offing gays. In defiance of what their very own god dictates to their very own prophet as recorded in their very own holy book,
For those genuinely interested in a "better alternative" to the vile, unethical and criminal preachments peddled by faith based traditions I suspect the answer lies in unearthing the source of that defiance. It is what guides the religious when they cherry pick their holy books and ignore their popes and preachers. It is what leads most individuals regardless of religiousity independently to arrive at an equivalent of the golden rule. It is what neuroscientist Sam Harris explores in his new book "The Moral Landscape: How Science Can Determine Human Values."

Snake, did you really think I referred to stuff like
Snake, did you really think I referred to stuff like Leviticus 20:13 as profound and important beliefs? Belief in God can plainly be profound and important. Details of the Law of Moses that almost no one thinks apply, not so much. (You do know that Christians don't follow the Law of Moses, right?)
You're still suppressing the obvious rational objection to your argument. Again, every way of doing morality can lead to bad results. Therefore it's plainly a bad argument to infer from a few examples that you have shown one system is worse than another. Many experts understand Kant to imply that we should never lie even to save a life, which you might find stupid. Many experts interpret Mill to imply that it's OK to kill an innocent man to set an example, which is also generally frowned on. In practice, some of the worst atrocities of the 20th Century, quite possibly the worst of all time, were done in the name of reason and science, not theism, by perhaps the most advanced culture of reason and science at the time. Does any of that disqualify reason and science as bases for morality? As long as you ignore this basic flaw in your thinking, something you should have recognized without it being pointed out, you're suppressing reason to protect your preferred beliefs.
To work this out another step or two, you may want to argue that real or good or true reason and science don't lead to bad results. If so, then you need to allow that a similar principle may apply with religion, that real or good or true religion may not lead to bad results either--it may lead to the most wonderful results, as religion sometimes does. And regardless of how that works out, you would need to show that even if we can tell at the time what's real or good or true reason and science, which we obviously can't always do (look at the history), that even the best of it doesn't have a significant risk of leading to worse results over time. That isn't as obvious as you may imagine. (There's no reason to assume, except as a matter of faith, that reason, science and morality are ultimately happy partners--it could be quite plausibly be that the opposite is true in various ways.) And then you still need to show that in practice your alternative produces better results now, on the whole, all things considered.
If you can't do this--if you haven't already done it--then you have no rational ground to so confidently oppose religion. I'm pretty sure you haven't done it, because those are still unsettled issues among experts, and the evidence is hard to interpret. And that should matter to you. Religion has been a deep part of humanity for as long as we know of, and is of great value to many. It's foolish and arrogant to attempt to sweep it aside on the basis of such thin reasoning and evidence about the actual results. If you see some particular religious belief such as opposition to homosexuality as harmful, that can obviously be fought without trying to fight religion as a whole, and probably more effectively. Many religious people would join you, for religious reasons.
Speaking of thin reasoning and evidence, Sam Harris would do better to stick to neuroscience. Like other leading loudmouths of atheism, he really doesn't know what he's talking about when he strays into fields he wasn't trained in and has only studied from an ill-willed perspective.
You appear to vaguely appeal to conscience or some similar universal moral sense as part of your better alternative. As pointed out before, there isn't anything conscience can't be molded to approve of. History shows what we may regard as universal moral sense has been anything but. If you really think that's a better alternative somehow, you have a lot of work to do to make the idea even plausible, let alone to establish it to the point that it can be accepted with confidence.

A few random observations:
It strikes me that the idea that Christians are somehow under attack in the US is self serving and likely paranoid. Religion is far from under attack here. Our country makes numerous significant concessions to religion, not the least the tax breaks religion enjoys.
I'm not sure those billboards are taking the positive stance I'd like. A couple of them seem excessively confrontational. I wish that they would simply argue directly that atheism is no less valid a choice than theism. Despite the billboards' pushy nature I was pleased to see someone finally declaring publicly that atheism is a valid position.
I resent any group, Christian, Muslim, whatever etc., telling anyone else that they will go to hell if they don't believe in exactly the same way. The arrogance in that stance is amazing. Given the fact that, no matter what your persuasion (or lack of), hundreds of millions of people round the globe see things differently, wouldn't it be wise to allow a little bit of room for the chance you might be wrong? That maybe someone else has it right? I don't go around trying to "convert" innocent passersby to atheism or agnosticism, but I have had someone come up to me in public, in a restaurant no less, and had the nerve to ask me if I was "saved". At least the door to door proselytizers have always had the good grace to leave when I politely said I probably wasn't their target market. Please, other than in fora like this, where the discussion is best direct and frank, and where we have all "asked for it" by commenting, please don't go pushing your belief system, whatever it may be.
In the US, to be an atheist is to be something of a second class citizen. Try getting elected - even as dogcatcher - if one is openly atheist. While we as a nation make the argument that we have freedom of religion, the freedom is to either be Christian, or to keep your mouth closed, if you don't want to be seen as an unsavory type.
I disagree with the endlessly repeated comment that if one is atheist, one cannot have a moral base, that one is necessarily immoral, or amoral. I don't depend upon externals - a church or a priest, or a book or a doctrine - to tell me what's moral - I believe on my own without being told, that certain actions are wrong. What I don't understand is that many people would feel rudderless without someone or something else to tell them what's right and what's wrong. Do they not see immorality for what it is? It strikes me that if you haven't got your own moral compass, you stand to be at greater moral risk than someone who knows on their own what to do and not to do.
All the above being said, I don't hear any of that in Krista Tippett's remarks. Paradoxically, I find her shows to be one of the few places where intelligent commentary is aired at length on necessary and difficult topics. I listen to her shows whenever I get the chance. They are wonderful interesting discussions and I hope she keeps offering them for a long time.

"I believe on my own without being told, that certain
"I believe on my own without being told, that certain actions are wrong. What I don't understand is that many people would feel rudderless without someone or something else to tell them what's right and what's wrong. Do they not see immorality for what it is? It strikes me that if you haven't got your own moral compass, you stand to be at greater moral risk than someone who knows on their own what to do and not to do."
Many who have religious faith or are concerned about atheist ethics think they're doing what you think you're doing, reaching some independent judgment about what's right and wrong. You suppose you can do that by consulting your own independent moral compass. Many others believe such a compass to be imperfect and not so independent and seek to supplement it by consulting a perfect and *truly* independent compass such as God would provide.
You of course would challenge the evidence for a divine source of moral guidance. I'd go further and challenge the basis for any claim of an independent moral compass that's objectively based or has been shown to be more reliable or less risky than a religiously based one. It's not even clear what it would mean for a moral compass to be reliable without either some overtly subjective or ultimately faith-based standard for it. Where do you find the objective standard?
And there's no evidence I'm aware of showing that individual conscience is less risky (whatever that might mean) than religiously mediated conscience. As John Stuart Mill remarked in arguing for a system of morals often turned to by atheists, utilitarianism, there is no behavior that conscience can't be molded to approve of, and the molding can just as well be done by oneself or other agencies (such as broad or specific cultures) as by religion. And as others pointed out after Mill, the foundation for his own system is ultimately subjective itself.
As I see it, there are good reasons to worry and not worry too much about the foundations of ethics regardless of their ostensible source. Religious foundations have their advantages and disadvantages, as do non-faith-based alternatives. I don't think atheists or secularists are in a position to feel more secure than others; quite possibly less so when it comes to providing a sense of a secure and great foundation for morality and meaning that ultimately reaches beyond our own subjective feelings and abilities.
Please don't misunderstand, I think many if not most fears about atheist ethics are exaggerated and ill-informed. But I feel the same way about the confidence many atheists have that they have a better alternative. It's possible it may not be as good in ways that do matter.

It might seem wiser to start off slow and easy just
It might seem wiser to start off slow and easy just simply arguing directly "that atheism is no less valid a choice than theism". However, since the atheist position by definition is wholly negating of the theist (not to be confused with deist) and vice versa, the limits of this tactic are apparent. Moreover, it is predicated on the assumption that theists might be amenable to reason. A very long shot indeed since the theist position is arrived at in the absence and maintained through the suppression of reason.
Most importantly, it's simply not true. Atheism and theism (not to be confused with deism) are NOT equally valid choices. As little as, Astronomy and Astrology, Chemistry and Alchemy, Evolution and Creationism are equally valid choices.
The folly of compromising intellectual honesty for what can scantily be gained from tiptoeing around theists' dearly held delusions has been borne out by history. It also has deadly consequences e.g. the Catholic Church's undermining the fight against AIDS in Africa by condemning condom use.

"Moreover, it is predicated on the assumption that
"Moreover, it is predicated on the assumption that theists might be amenable to reason. A very long shot indeed since the theist position is arrived at in the absence and maintained through the suppression of reason."
A typical atheist myth. I know plenty of theists who are more reasonable than you're being. Quite a few theists do use reason to reach and/or refine their views. Faith and reason aren't incompatible.
You still need some evidence that your views are better. So far all you've done is say so and add what you seem to think are examples that settle the issue. They clearly don't. Examples of bad results can be given from every belief system, as should have occurred to you a long time ago. Are you suppressing reason?

It seems to me three of these ads will be almost ineffectual at best, and are more likely to be counterproductive.
I don't think the first ad should offend anyone, but it seems very weak; a more positive message that actually says something would be more worthwhile.
The second ad strikes me as confrontational; it creates a black-and-white rift, and suggests that one must prepare to defend one's beliefs. Many people seek harmony, not controversy.
I like the two FERF ads; they are positive and appealing.
The fifth ad will probably be offensive to many, partly because of the popular misconception of what the word "myth" means, and partly because of the arrogance of telling people what they "KNOW". And there's no Christmas spirit there at all - and by that I mean peace, love, and good will toward others.
FERF is cool, but the others should rethink their purpose, and look for ways to promote harmony and beauty in life.

It seems to me that people tend to gravitate to and rely more on religion when they feel that they cannot rely on each other. Maybe if we made it a valuable thing to care for each other, and take care of the less fortunate, we wouldn't need a book or church doctrine to tell us that sh*tting on each other is wrong.

Attending a Wedding Is 59% More Expensive Than Last Year
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- With the average price of attending a wedding on a steep uphill climb, there's no guarantee nuptial attendees will have enough money left in their bank account to make it home from chapel, let alone the reception hall.
The latest American Express Spending & Saving Tracker, released Monday, has some news on wedding invites that might induce sticker shock up and down a loving couple's guest list.
The tracker shows that 69 million Americans will attend a wedding this year, and that each can expect to spend 59% more doing so than they did last year.
The average wedding guest will pay $539 for the occasion, with the top three expenditures being:
- $167 toward travel
- $161 for clothes and accessories
- $108 for the newlyweds' gift
What's more, the closer you are to the bride or groom, the more you'll spend. Family members can expect to pay $179 on average for a wedding gift, while co-workers will shell out only $66.
While most married couples want to get cash as a wedding gift (52%, according to Amex), 35% of guests will buy a gift from the newlywed's registry.
If you're actually supporting the newlyweds as a bridesmaid or best man, expect to pay about $577 to attend the ceremony -- that's way up from $377 last year. For bridesmaids, that's bad news financially. American Express
According to the website Formalwear.org, the groom's men-in-waiting take it in the chops too. The average cost of a decent tuxedo rental this year is $150, with quality rentals shooting up to $200 per outfit.
If you're in the camp that says you can't put a price on a friend or family member's wedding day, good for you.
But if you're with the rest of the planet in these harsh economic times, you may want to check your bank account before you check the "attending" box on that wedding invite you just got.

My family loved the Dolphin Swim! A once in a lifetime experience. My youngest wasn't supposed to be tall enough to do the swim but they let her do it anyway, with the help of one of their staff. I appreciated that and the kids were all smiles the whole time. The photos they took were great and we bought them - just be sure to bargain down the price! :)
S. Denison (June 2016) ~ Magnolia, TX USA
I just wanted to take a minute now that I am home to tell you how much we enjoyed the park and all the activities you helped me set up. The sea lion swim was amazing and the show following was really enjoyable. The dolphin swim didn't work out for all of us but we are planning to do the Disney cruise again one day and we will be back for sure. The park is very beautiful and we could not do it all in one day. Look forward to working with you again in the future. Thanks Once again!
F. Schenk ~ New Fairfield, CT USA
My husband and I had the "BEST" time at your park. The dolphin encounter was truly amazing! We can't wait to come back and let our children experience it. It is on the top of our "to do" list with our children. Thanks for the exceptional hopitatily!
S. and R. Ketron ~ Cincinnati, OH USA
Just got back from our cruise and wanted to let you know how much fun we had at Chankanaab Park. My daughter, Emily, had the most wonderful dolphin experience and the $2.00 off coupon for me to get into the park worked like a charm. And, your confirmation email telling us about getting to the park was very helpful. Thank you for the experience! This was well organized and an absolutely perfect day in Cozumel for us! We (the old ladies in my family) are coming back in February, I'll be sure to connect with you again as we'll do the dolphin swim with you again.
The Kershek Family ~ Wisconsin, USA
First of all, I want to say thank you so much for sharing your wonderful island with my family. Secondly, we did the Royal Dolphin Swim with Dorie and Belle, and it was the most AWESOME time of our lives. One lady in our session cried at the end, saying this was the greatest thing that she has ever done. The Park was beautiful, and everyone was very helpful. Thank you again for a wonderful time.

It matters not, how much money she's made, how famous she is (was), or how a comment below concentrated on "riri" being the "boss". Nor does it matter how many fans/haters she has. What matters is, this PERSON is spiralling out of control before our eyes. We've all seen this w/ Britney Spears , Lohan, etc, etc, I can go on and on!
The fact of the matter remains that Amanda Bynes is a person, a human being, someone's child, somebody's sister. It is blatantly obvious that she is in need of psychiatric care as soon as possible, before it is too late! I am not a fan of hers, nor do i know her, but a sympathetic person who can plainly see a girl, a young woman crying out for help!
For anyone who is blind to this obviously has no empathy for their fellow human beings.
Enough said.

I agree with this… After reading several articles about this, it seems she really needs help. It doesn't matter how famous or rich the person is, the thing is we all have our own problems and I think that's what made her like that. People should stop judging without knowing what's really going on with her.

It's very simple as it is people who achieve fame and fortune and can't seem to get away from the scenerio of acting and living normal lives off the screen. It seems this problem is more frequent with the newer generations, Example Bob Hope and lucy set good standards on and off screen……….

No Easy Answers
Attacks, breaches, keyloggers -- it's pretty easy these days for just about anyone to get access to passwords, whether one at a time or by the handful. Despite this, passwords remain the ubiquitous method for online security.
Why? Well, in part, because it's a huge challenge to find the right balance between security and usability. Make it too difficult for users and we put up unreasonable obstacles; make it too easy and we're left vulnerable to attacks.
In search of a viable alternative, we turned to security experts, whose ideas include biometrics, public key infrastructure and two-factor authentication. We discuss the pros and cons of each approach and look at research into the password habits of computer users. (S6360113)

With that said, there are some common methodologies that cybercriminals use to infiltrate data systems, and knowing what those methodologies are is the first step to taking arms against them. In this Dark Reading report, we enumerate the most common types of data breaches, provide insight into how they're perpetrated and offer recommendations for heading them off. (S6980513)

Travel Tip 2 - Always Bring Music
C.J. Gustafson, Freelance Writer and Photographer
Even if you are not a big music fan like I am, you might want to bring a small cd player (one with a built-in speaker works best) and a few cd's that capture the feel of the island. Or just bring the cd player and buy your own music when you get to Cozumel. Often the musicians playing in the tourist areas have cd's for sale. And several of the local stores, including the San Francisco market, have a moderate selection to choose from. But you usually don't get to listen to them before buying so it's basically a guessing game, (which I think is half the fun). I've learned that music can set the tone and enhance the enjoyment of almost any activity on the island.
Driving along the streets of Cozumel or the east island road in a VW bug with the top down is just so much better with reggae or island music blasting away. Most rental cars don't have radios, so this becomes even more important if you must have your music while you cruise.
Turn on a good tropical vacation or beach party cd while baking in the sun on the sand and see how quickly a Jimmy Buffet-type atmosphere develops. Get a cold drink to go along with it and you'll soon find yourself enthusiastically declaring that, "it just doesn't get any better than this."
Too broke to head out to the cantinas for a night of dancing because you spent all your money on the overpriced souvenirs in the oceanfront shops? Pop in a cd with a pumping Latin rhythm and get your own party started. You'll be surprised how willing others will be to join you. You meet some of the greatest people this way.
And for serious reflecting about life's mysteries while sitting in a beach chair and sipping a margarita, or for a romantic interlude with that special someone at the ocean's edge, you simply must have the right mood music. (Read about my
Moonlight Dance
Cd's are light and easy to carry. They make great gifts to leave with friends you make on the island. And they can mean the difference between a good day and the perfect day. Don't leave home without them or have an adventure finding them when you get here.

Innovation Competes With Regulation
Healthcare IT priorities have remained remarkably consistent year over year among respondents to our InformationWeek 2013 Healthcare IT Priorities Survey, even as we see rapid change in the industry overall. Our take is that many healthcare IT pros are up to their necks in alligators and have lost sight of their initial objective: Drain the swamp.
This lack of movement doesn't bode well for healthcare IT. Peers in other sectors are moving ahead with new technologies and innovations that could, if implemented correctly and with sound strategic planning, help drive the transformational improvements in efficiency, outcomes and cost savings that the healthcare industry so desperately needs. Instead, IT teams are in many cases stretched so thin that opportunities for genuine transformation could easily be squandered.
In a more positive light, it is often times of greatest stress and chaos that the most profound and far-reaching change is possible, at least for those who can keep their heads above water.
Among the 451 respondents to our InformationWeek 2013 Healthcare IT Priorities Survey:
>> 64% of the 363 respondents working at a doctor's practice, hospital, healthcare center or other healthcare provider have enabled patient Web access to personal health records, or will within 24 months.
>> 54% of these respondents say their security software meets federal Meaningful Use requirements.
>> 27% have clinicians using social media (online medical forums, Facebook, Twitter) to collaborate with patients.
>> 51% of 333 healthcare provider respondents who are piloting, evaluating, will complete or have already completed EMR or EHR initiatives are very confident about meeting the second stage of Meaningful Use; 15% either don't know (11%) or say they will miss the deadline (4%).
>> 18% of 68 healthcare provider respondents not planning to qualify as accountable care organizations say the initial capital investment is too high; 57% blame inconsistency with their business strategies.
Respondent breakdown: 30% work in hospitals or hospital groups; 13% work for insurers. Half, 49%, have 1,000 or more employees in their organizations; 18% have 10,000 or more, compared with 24% that have fewer than 100. (R6430413)

Is The NHL Really Still the No. 4 Sport?
Whether it's still a major pro sport or not is up in the air.
In the case of full disclosure, I'll acknowledge that I was raised as a hockey fan. My father pulled 3-year-old me into the living room and plucked a my sister out of her crib to watch the closing seconds of Team USA's "Miracle On Ice" win over the Soviets in the 1980 Winter Olympics. Four years later, I'd be handed one of my dad's season tickets and would watch my first hockey game -- the New York Rangers vs. the Detroit Red Wings -- from Madison Square Garden's infamous and long-gone Blue Seats. I spent half of my prom ducking into the kitchen on the Spirit of New Jersey to check the score of Mark Messier's guaranteed Game 6 win over the New Jersey Devils and began my last summer before college watching Messier, Brian Leetch, Mike Richter and Alexi Kovalev parade down the Canyon of Heroes after ending a 54-year Stanley Cup dry spell.
The season that came after all that Lower Manhattan ticker tape was swept up was the beginning of the NHL's downward spiral. Gary Bettman was named the league's first commissioner in 1993 and, by 1994, it would have its first player lockout. That cost the league 104 days of its season, shrank the schedule from 84 to 48 games and canceled the first of the 2,100 games that would be lost during Bettman's tenure. The league lost television contracts with Fox
It lost an entire season thanks to a lockout in 2004 and 2005 -- the first time the league didn't award a team the Stanley Cup -- and, having seemingly learned nothing, threw away half of this last season and a slam-dunk New Year's outdoor game between the Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs at Michigan Stadium because of another labor dispute. The Globe and Mail says the last lockout did damage "on levels we've never seen" but, at this point, what more damage can be done?

Posted on 01/20/2013 10:36:20 AM PST by lowbridge
click here to read article
"Assault-style"...now what exactly is that? Is that one of the ones that "look scary"?
Meanwhile, the daily slaughter of innocent children by the thousands continues at "woman's health facilities" without a single mention in the "news" media.
Meanwhile 18 people have been murdered in Chicago since January 1st 2013.
Specifically, to ban ALL marxists,progressives,liberals,moderates,statists,socialists, from owning or possessing any type of firearm:
The 5 Worst/Recent Mass Murders in the USA (with a Firearm) Came from Democrats
Gun Violence is Not a Republican Problem, Its a Democratic Problem
67% of firearm murders took place in the countrys 50 largest metro areas. The 62 cities in those metro areas have a firearm murder rate of 9.7, more than twice the national average. Among teenagers the firearm murder rate is 14.6 or almost three times the national average.Those are the crowded cities of Obamerica.
They have pin stripes and a spoiler.
Makes the bullets go faster.
Oh, but you have to mention (for full disclosure) that these "womens' health facilities" are HOSPITAL CLEAN now - according to recent inspection reports seen here on FR.
"A male juvenile is in custody and is being charged with two counts of murder, and three counts of child abuse resulting in death."
Those poor children must have suffered.
The one I have has been made politically correct. I put a side-mounted sight on it to 'represent' for the bruthas....
It is liberal Journo-speak for. "We have no clue what the exact type of rifle it was....just that is was black and scary."
I read another link that said the murderer is 15 years old.
Another gun control fail.
My bet:
He was on ADD drugs and attended a godless government school.
Thx...just posted on my Facebook....the first link, anyway....
I forgot Democrat!
This is my bet:
** the kid was on ADD drugs
** he attended a godless government school
** his mom is a Democrat
** If they can find the dad, he is a Democrat, too!
"Another gun control fail."
Not as far as the Ministry of Truth is concerned. Just wait for the official propaganda response.
At this point all that's known is that a man named "Heisenberg" was allegedly in the vicinity.
I find it strange than all of these recent shootings leave noone wounded who can talk and tell what really happened. The victims are all dead.
Sorry, I'm putting on my tin hat here. But possible "False Flag" events?
And Obama breaks a little smile.
So are DUers. They're having an orgasm over each new shooting. Strangely, though, they aren't interested in black on black shootings,,,only the shootings done by whites.
"At this point all thats known is that a man named Heisenberg was allegedly in the vicinity"
If he was observed, then he wasn't exactly THERE.
Plus, we have no idea where he was going.
Assault-style...now what exactly is that? Is that one of the ones that look scary?
Americans better get to buying guns faster.
But, but, but, just last week obama was saying that if it saves the life of a single child it would be worth it!
Oh wait, that was total gun confiscation, not banning abortions...
Prozac fueled copy-cat.
A murder a day, that's all we ask...
CORRECTION: The report of killings will continue with MSM references to assault weapons, whether real or fictional, until Obama gets shown the error of his ways by the People.
New Mexico ~ adolescent onset schizophrenia ~ bet he was an Indian or Mexican ~ the white power elite has assured us that current screening practices are sufficient to catch all the Lanza types ~ it's the unassuming, lawabiding family man with a firearm that should be targeted by the gub'mnt!
The democrats want to ban guns not because they're afraid of what WE will do with them. They're afraid of what THEY will do with them.
Yep. So far, it's those who are or are raised by democrats doing all the killing.
As usual, their politicians are trying to blame everyone else for their social policy failures.
I thought when Zer0 signed all of those E.O's this would stop.
Did they not listen to him?
Yep. 15 years old, public school, male child.
Fits the profile perfectly.
14 hours ago and no names released, none. Wonder why???
Trying to find relatives ~ could be illegal aliens. Give them some time ~ we'll know.
I'll bet they were unarmed and unable to defend themselves against this drugged up public school teenager (Who's parents are registered democrats, no doubt. There's a pattern emerging.)
The Million Mommies already has swooped down like a vulture to post in the comments for this story. Before there are any details published. Goes to show it's about the agenda, not the problems.
Most likely well-trained by first person mass murder video games
This is the house. It's listed to Gregory and Sarah Griego. A Jose Cauich lives there too.
Yep. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised to find out they were already posting while, or even before, the shooting was happening.
There are millions of public school boys who are being drugged each year. The side affects of those medications are delusion, violence, and suicide. All the shooters were suffering from all three. All it would take is a little "nudge" through the Internet by Obomas activists to send these damned young boys over the edge (the teachers union knows who these kids are).
No one is talking about these drugs or the shooters. Why? Talking about these things would hurt the teachers union (they like the boys being drugged. It makes their job easier), and put a kink in the democrats chance to use the crises they've manufactured themselves.
What I don't get is the fact that these shooters are the children of democrats, or democrats themselves. Are the Republican children better cared for, and harder to get to? Is it because Republicans are better parents, and they pay closer attention to what's happening to their kids? Maybe Republicans teach their kids values so they know better?Or are Republicans just luckier?
How many million "assault-type" rifles were NOT used to commit a crime today?
Until we know more, I won't engage in that kind of speculation. I do know New Mexico has a tremendous drug problem and I-25 is a major trafficking corridor. So I wouldn't be surprised if this ends up being drug-related.
Was there an unmarked van with a ray gun thingy on top nearby when it happened? That liberal mind control device seems to be everywhere lately. They just scan until they find brain waves on an unstable person in a neighrbood with teenagers who play violent video games and voila!
Instant gun massacre.
Sounds like a job or Scully and Mulder to me...
Sounds like a kid shot up his family.
Here we go again.
"Assault rifle" or "assault-type" rifle.
And if an Obomaweapon was used in the crime? Would they tell us if it was?
Yes, the assault weapons, the scary ones are much more dangerous./sarc
A 15-year-old boy used an assault rifle to kill a pastor and his family in their home last night, police have said.
The teen, who has not been identified, was arrested shortly after the shooting at the Albuquerque, New Mexico, home.
Inside, police found the five victims - a man, woman, two girls and a boy - who were each shot multiple times.
Tragedy: One of the victims of the shooting was identified as Gregory Griego,
pictured center, a former pastor at the Calvary Albuquerque church
Teen accused of killing 2 adults, 3 kids in SW ABQ
Police say 15-year-old Nehemiah Griego, who investigators say is possibly related to the victims, is in custody and is being charged with two counts of murder and three counts of child abuse leading to the murder.
Investigators say Griego lives at the home where the bodies were found.

As a pet owner, you probably spend a lot of time tuned in to your dog, making sure he's not exhibiting any sign of pain in dogs and that he seems happy and comfortable. Your dog is likewise highly interested in what you do every day. Though your canine companion may not be able to vocalize what he learns about you through observation, his understanding of your emotions and personality may surprise you. Fox News recently took a look at some of the most interesting tidbits about dogs' understanding of their owners.
Dogs and emotions
Canines are highly sensitive creatures, and they're constantly trying to understand how you're feeling. Dogs are able to sense sadness, even if the person who is feeling down isn't their owner. Similarly, dogs can comprehend when you're angry, which is why it's important to use a stern, but not enraged tone when engaging in puppy training or discipline. Your dog will also likely mimic you when you demonstrate fear, according to the news source. For instance, if you back away from something you perceive to be frightening, your dog may imitate this action.
Dogs and personalities
Dogs can make assessments of certain personality traits, because they often watch how one human interacts with another, the news outlet reports. For instance, if your dog sees you frequently yelling at others, he may come to the conclusion that you are an inherently angry or frustrated person. Your dog may also be able to figure out if you're a trickster. According to the news source, in one study, dogs who witnessed other canines receiving treats, but didn't get any snacks themselves, were somewhat aware that they'd been cheated.
Giving back to your pet
Because your dog is so interested in you, it's essential that you give him the same amount of devotion and attention, especially when he's in need. This means bringing him to one of the nearby veterinarian hospitals for frequent checkups - monthly if he's a puppy and semi-annually if he's a middle-aged or older dog, according to VCA Animal Hospitals. Keeping an eye on your dog and noting any changes in his behavior is the best way to catch any illnesses or other health problems before they develop into something more serious.

There were a number of these Snipe flies (apparently genus Rhagio) about today. They constantly paused to wave their forelegs in the air, which have prominent white marks. This is clearly some sort of display. It could be to advertise for a mate, but it might be defensive--this reminds me of the antennae pattern of many wasps, and the raised legs do resemble antennae. This reminds me very much of the displays of Stilt-legged flies, Micropezidae. The function of the displays in that group is not known.
-BugGuide account--Rhagio
