How Do We Help the Feds Transition to IPv6?
With Cisco's participation in World IPv6 Launch less than a week away, IPv6 is definitely top of mind. Those of us who work in the federal space are also focused on the IPv6 transition deadline that is coming up on September 30th, 2012. The OMB Mandate issued in September of 2010 by Federal Chief Information Officer Vivek Kundra states that the federal government must "Upgrade public/external facing servers and services (e.g. web, email, DNS, ISP services, etc) to operationally use native IPv6 by the end of FY 2012". According to a Network World article written by Carolyn Duff Marsan, a whopping 99% of Federal Agencies have not yet met the conditions of the mandate.
Why has it been such a challenge for the government to meet this IPv6 transition deadline? And what needs to be done to help make it happen?
One of the problems is that there has been a lack of IPv6 support by government contractors, (including carriers ), content delivery networks and network equipment suppliers. Network equipment must be "IPv6 certified" to enable government customers to meet the deadline.
Cisco has been leading the way with IPv6 certifications, with a majority of products supporting IPv6 for well over a decade. Our USGv6 product list is testament to the fact that we are committed to helping our government customers succeed, but it will take more than just IPv6 certified network equipment to help the government successfully make the transition.
The Veteran's Administration is among the 1% of federal agencies that have successfully transitioned to IPv6. How did they do it? By linking the IPv6 transition as an imperative to the VA mission and future IT success. Their methods and best practiced should be used as a reference for how to accomplish this task.
For those of you in the DC area, if you want to get a update on the outcome of World IPv6 Launch, and more information on how the Veterans Administration successfully transitioned to IPv6, please consider attending the Digital Government Institute's Government IPv6 Day, where all these topics will be covered.
In an effort to keep conversations fresh, Cisco Blogs closes comments after 60 days. Please visit the Cisco Blogs hub page for the latest content.

The New York Rangers and Connecticut Whale have some players that will be coming and at least one who will be going.
Wednesday the Rangers announced that 2010 first round (10th overall) pick, defenseman Dylan McIlrath, ahs been signed to three-year entry level contract.
The Blueshirts also announced that Ray Bourque's son, Ryan, a third round pick, 80th overall, in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft has also been signed.
Both players are expected to be signed to a Professional or Amateur Try-Out contract with the Whale and will take part in the playoff push.
With the signing of McIlrath, and likely the improving health of Jyri Niemi and Michael Del Zotto, Lee Baldwin has been sent to the ECHL to rejoin the Greenville Road Warriors.
It remains to be seen if and when McIlrath and Bourque are assigned to the Whale. Both would help a great deal with the talent level of the Whale which has been suspect, especially of late.
Here are the two releases:
New York, March 14, 2011 – New York Rangers President and General Manager Glen Sather announced today that the club has agreed to terms with forward Ryan Bourque.
Bourque, 20, is a two-time medalist at the World Junior Championship as a member of the United States U-20 team, including a gold medal in the 2010 tournament and a bronze medal in the 2011 tournament.
This season, Bourque has skated in 47 games with the Quebec Remparts of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL), registering 26 goals and 31 assists for 57 points, along with 15 penalty minutes and a plus-14 rating in 47 games. He has established career-highs in games played, goals, assists, points, and power play goals (six). Bourque ranks third on the team in goals, points and points per game average (1.21). He has posted a career-high, 16 multi-point performances, and tied his career-high with a four-point effort (two goals, two assists) on November 13 at Prince Edward Island. Bourque registered at least one point in 27 of his first 32 games to begin the season, recording 45 points (23 goals, 22 assists) during the stretch. He also tallied a career-high, 11-game point streak from December 3 at Victoriaville to January 26 vs. Rimouski, registering 14 points (10 goals, four assists) over the span.
The 5-9, 170-pounder has appeared in 91 career QMJHL games over two seasons with Quebec, registering 45 goals and 55 assists for 100 points, along with 35 penalty minutes. As a rookie in 2009-10, Bourque registered 43 points (19 goals, 24 assists) in 44 games with Quebec. He ranked seventh among all QMJHL rookies in goals (19), 10th in points (43) and tied for 11th in assists (24). He also ranked sixth on Quebec in goals and points, and tied for seventh in assists. Bourque notched his first career QMJHL hat trick on February 6, 2010 vs. Gatineau. He registered 11 multi-point performances, including three, four-point efforts, and tallied 14 points in a nine-game span from October 24 vs. Baie-Comeau to November 15 at Drummondville (four goals, 10 assists over the span).
Prior to joining Quebec, Bourque skated in 75 games over two seasons with the USA National Under-18 Development Team, registering 24 goals and 38 assists for 62 points, along with 60 penalty minutes. He helped Team USA capture the gold medal at the 2009 U-18 World Championships in Fargo-Moorhead, recording one goal and six assists in seven tournament games. His six assists ranked fourth on the team.
The Boxford, Massachusetts native was originally the Rangers third round choice, 80th overall, in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft.
Here is the McIlrath release…:
RANGERS AGREE TO TERMS WITH DEFENSEMAN DYLAN McILRATH
New York, March 16, 2011 – New York Rangers President and General Manager Glen Sather announced today that the club has agreed to terms with defenseman Dylan McIlrath.
McIlrath, 18, has skated in 59 games with the Moose Jaw Warriors of the Western Hockey League (WHL) this season, registering five goals and 18 assists for 23 points, along with 141 penalty minutes. He ranks third among team defensemen in points, goals and power play goals (two), and ranks third on Moose Jaw in penalty minutes. McIlrath established a career-high with his 18th assist of the season in a 5-3 win vs. Regina on March 1. He has also tied his career-high with four multi-point performances this season, including back-to-back two-assist efforts on January 19 vs. Lethbridge and January 21 at Edmonton. McIlrath recorded at least one point in six of eight games from October 13 vs. Kootenay to November 5 at Regina, registering seven points (two goals, five assists) during the stretch. In addition, he posted a career-high, four-game point streak from December 14 vs. Saskatoon to December 28 at Calgary, tallying five points (one goal, four assists) over the span.
Last season, McIlrath received Moose Jaw's Most Improved Player Award for the second consecutive season, establishing career-highs in games played (65), goals (seven), points (24), penalty minutes (169), plus/minus rating (plus-20), and game-winning goals (two). He ranked second on Moose Jaw with a plus-20 rating, having made a plus-42 improvement in plus/minus rating over the previous season. He also tied for third among team defensemen in goals, assists and points, and led the Warriors and ranked seventh in the league in penalty minutes. The second-year defenseman was selected to participate in the 2010 Canadian Hockey League (CHL) Top Prospects Game on January 20 as a member of Team Orr, and he finished second in the Hardest Shot event at the Skills Competition with a 91.8 mph shot. In addition, McIlrath registered one assist and 21 penalty minutes in seven playoff contests, making his WHL playoff debut on March 18 at Calgary and tallying his first career playoff point with an assist on March 23 vs. Calgary.
The 6-5, 215-pounder has appeared in 177 career WHL games over three seasons with Moose Jaw, registering 13 goals and 38 assists for 51 points, along with 412 penalty minutes. McIlrath captured Moose Jaw's Most Improved Player Award following his rookie season in 2008-09. He made his WHL debut on September 19, 2008 vs. Swift Current, and registered his first career point with a goal on January 10, 2009 at Saskatoon. McIlrath has also tallied one assist and 21 penalty minutes in seven career playoff games with Moose Jaw.
The Winnipeg, Manitoba native was originally selected as the Rangers first round choice, 10th overall, in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.

Photos here. The third and final part of series of posts on a two day fastpack of the Trinity Alps High Route covers the section from Thompson Peak to the trailhead at Canyon Creek inclduing Wedding Cake, Mount Hilton and Boulder Creek Lakes. This portion of the Trinity Alps High Route was previously covered in the Trinity Alps Traverse report from 2013 and that trip served as inspiration for the Trinity Alps High Route this year. Many additional photos can be found on the 2013 post with different lighting since this section was done in reverse. The preceding two posts were as follows:
- Part I: Little Granite Peak, Smith Lake and Sawtooth Mountain
- Part II: Mirror Lake, Caesar Peak and Thompson Peak
From the summit of Thompson Peak descend the sandy southwest slopes and traverse granite benches to the short class 3 climb up a chute to the summit of Wedding Cake, which in my opinion has the best birds eye view of the Canyon Creek Lakes. After descending Wedding Cake traverse on the west side of the ridge until the crest can be easily crossed to the east side. At this point, an awesome 2+ mile "granite highway" section commences. This stretch is stunning with rugged unnamed peaks and spires towering above and sweeping views of the pristine granite slopes dropping off to the Canyon Creek Lakes below. The smooth white granite is interspersed with grassy meadow benches, krummholz and small cascading streams making for a delightful setting.
If headed for Mount Hilton, at the end of this marvelous stretch of granite slabs ascend to a high shoulder on the first of two sub-ridges that need to be crossed to access the Mount Hilton scramble. Once over this shoulder enter a smaller drainage with more talus than granite, but excellent views of the precipitous northeast buttress of Mount Hilton. After traversing through this cirque a convenient ramp can be used to pass the second sub-ridge and deposit one immediately beneath Mount Hilton (those skipping Mount Hilton could simply traverse below this sub-ridge and directly down to Boulder Creek Lakes). This ramp looks somewhat difficult from afar but in reality it's a class 2 walk-up providing surprisingly easy passage through this barrier that would otherwise involve some tricky climbing. Once over the ridge, ascend steep alpine slopes to the foot of the final class 3 scramble portion up Mount Hilton. The summit provides an amazing vista of the surrounding mountains and an excellent overview of the Trinity Alps High Route. In particular, Sawtooth Mountain sports a particularly impressive profile across the Canyon Creek drainage. From the summit of Mount Hilton to Boulder Creek Lakes is a long and steep descent of over 3,000 feet down to the Boulder Creek Lakes. The upper part of this descent is fairly straightforward on rocks and gravel transitioning to sections of granite slabs in the middle. The lower portion of the descent requires some micro-navigating through some cliff bands and thick brush. Towards the bottom a creek bed may be used in later season to avoid most of the brush. The Boulder Creek Lakes are tucked into a granite bowl with excellent views to Little Granite Peak and Sawtooth Mountain across the canyon. Mount Hilton looms above and the granite slabs surrounding the basin create a magical setting. From Boulder Creek Lakes it's back on trails. The initial descent to the Canyon Creek is fairly rough and rocky trail but the final few miles along the Canyon Creek Trail are relatively smooth and easy trail miles. Topping out at just over 9,000 feet, the height of the Trinity Alps is not impressive when compared with the Sierras, but their higher latitude and proximity to the Pacific Ocean allow for significant winter snow accumulation and the existence of a few small patches of permanent ice. The largest of these patches of permanent ice is immediately below Thompson Peak and contains the requisite characteristics to be classified as a true glacier. Known as the Thompson Glacier, this glacier has undergone significant reduction in thickness and surface area as shown in this comparison of photos from the summit of Thompson Peak in 2013 and 2015 (both Labor Day weekend). The ongoing drought and a warming climate mean this glacier is in jeopardy of disappearing entirely. Glaciers were an integral part of shaping the majestic Trinity Alps that we see today with the ubiquitous ice-polished granite faces that embody these mountains, but if this glacier melts away the range would be devoid of true glaciers.
Fastpack Gear:
- La Sportiva Ultra Raptor: built tough for off-trail travel and sticky sole for rock scrambling
- Ultimate Direction Fastpack 20: Everything you need and nothing more!
- Thermarest NeoAir sleeping pad
- Mountain Hardwear Mountain Speed sleeping bag
- Extra clothing: Windbreaker, light down jacket, light gloves, beanie (summer temperatures and a reliable weather forecast for a two day trip)
- Food: bars, pumpkin flax granola, dried fruit and meats
- Essentials like First-aid, sunscreen, chapstick etc.
- Canon Powershot S110
The Trinity Alps High Route is an excellent way to see some of the best scenery in the Trinity Alps. The Trinities may not stand out in the typical metrics used to rank mountain ranges, but the uniquely rugged granitic landscape and a true wilderness experience makes this a special spot. In fact, it's one of my favorite areas to explore. This series of posts has described one route through these mountains, but the possibilities for wandering the lovely alpine terrain in this range are literally endless. I look forward to future trips to the Trinity Alps and hopefully uncovering more gems in this wonderful corner of California.

All that trouble...
...just to deliver some chocolates...
A groundbreaking new miniature submarine in use by the US Navy's secretive, elite frogman-commando special operations force was actually designed and built in old Blighty, the Reg can reveal. We reported first on the S301 mini-sub two weeks ago, noting from federal documents that the famous US Navy SEALs had leased a …
Well, MSub needs to find a sponsor to develop an extra "Lunch" budget to ensure mutual interest with the MOD. Without that it does not stand a chance to win any business in the UK.
It is generally 90-95% of the cost (as Northrop has managed to demonstrate in such a succinct manner).
"At any rate, it's a nice success story to round off the week with - and perhaps a further illustration of just why British engineering and manufacturing is so far from dead, and of the type of jobs we should nationally be looking to do."
What? Building hi-tech delivery craft for neoprene clad assassins?
I thought El Reg was above supporting the military-industrial-entertainment complex.
El Reg does not support 'the military-industrial-entertainment". El Reg does support any good point for Britain's industry and know-how, as well as giving brownie points for anything that supports its troops efficiently.
As for your slur on the honorable men that take risks beyond your imagination and put their lives on the line at the whim of paper pushers way higher up on the food chain, I prefer not to respond.
... be carried by a Chinook?
A: Nope (AFAIK). The S301 is claimed as 13tons and - as best as I can see - the Chinook can only carry 10-11tons.
Great article - nice to see that a UK company is up with the market leaders. Just a shame that the MoD procurement folks seem to be fixed to the 'usual suspects', and hence won't be able to use the excellence 'on their doorstep'..
Strangely enough, the quote from the company reminds me of the attitude we (I used to work for a part of MoD) had before some 'genius' decided to privatise us - the privatisation giving the result that costs went sky-high and the amount of quality work went down. Go figure!
...is scary, IMO.
I've had some experience dealing with british built technology and the attitude of some modern engineers from UK.
Suffice it to say I have had some problems, especially with electrical things and water. Like, a complete lack of understanding to the fact that if electrics are not properly sealed but should be used in any weather they tend to stop working if water gets into the circuits.
And opening the box up, drying it out and then filling it with grease is not a solution, it's a stop-gap measure at best.
This matches the reputation british cars (and other mobile machines) have had for a few decades.
Now, this sub has to be POWERED by electricity and should work in SALT WATER... I can imagine a few problems there. My trust in the brits does not cover this, although the mechanical designs, aerodynamics, hydrodynamics etc. can be brilliant.
Do. Not. Let. Them. Touch. The. Electrics/Electronics!
I can see that you have probably had experience with Lucas Electrics, the famed "supplier" of electrics on Land Rovers for many years...and as a former Landie owner, I've heard all the horror stories and seen some myself - many of which sound exactly like what you describe.
But the general quality of UK marine electronics, is much, much better than that rep - witness Raymarine, TackTick and other top-notch suppliers of nautical electronics being based here in the UK. The UK has a strong nautical industry that makes some of the world's best marine electronics, which you can find on everything from performance dinghies to the world's best superyachts. So yes, some parts of the UK's electrics may still not be up to snuff, but in terms of marine electrics, the UK can be world class.
Hmm ...... probably as bad as they're reputed to be.
On the other hand, the all-time worst electrics I ever had were on the last car I had in North America -- a Pontiac on which the ignition died every time it saw a puddle. And that was the same car on which the old-fashioned dipswitch (still on the floor, c 1978) failed and I was told I really should clean my feet before using it ! And no wonder the Pontiac brand is being brought to an end -- the last one I hired was in late 2007 -- brand new, but the boot light kept dropping out of position. As cheap and nasty as I've seen on anything, and that was on a high-spec model..
And the second-most annoying vehicle electrically -- just to spread the blame around a bit -- was the previous car, a Plymouth Fury III where no-one seemed able to make the horn work. It turned out that a limited number had been turned out with the horn relay incorporated in an undocumented fashion in the same sealed box as another relay.
Compared to those, LandRover electrics (and yes, I've had a few of those and there are three currently in the household) have been rather less problematic electrically.
Interesting that Ari 1 should refer to
"a complete lack of understanding to the fact that if electrics are not properly sealed but should be used in any weather they tend to stop working if water gets into the circuits.
And opening the box up, drying it out and then filling it with grease is not a solution, it's a stop-gap measure at best."
A number of years ago one of my sons went from the UK to New Jersey as a student to work for the summer vacation as a fairground ride operator. He very quickly got offered a job as a sparky because none of the American sparkies seemed to understand what was necessary to keep the equipment operating when subjected to salt spray and blown sand. And so desperate was the owner of the operation that not only did the said son have a job for his subsequent summer vacations, but they tried very hard to get him to work there permanently as head of maintenance.
that depends.
The worst places you can have an electrical fire are any time you are in an enclosed vehicle in a critical environment.
Electrical fires in space stations, airplanes, submarines, ships. In this order.
These are some of the scariest/most lethal emergency situations you can find yourself in.
And seeing that these energetic battery packs are most likely to fail if there is an electrical problem (thermal runaway due to problems with discharge/recharge) I must say that I would prefer the tube launch to mechanics I don't trust.
We invented a clever little device that lets soldiers, in say Afghanistan, hit the bad guys rather accurately without having to put their heads where it might get blown off.
The forces loved it - performed great in tests and the not -getting-head-blown-off bonus proved popular.
Then we met the MoD - would love to buy it if we formed a consortium with BAe and Thales (and possibly the Empire from Star Wars). These companies merely wanted us to put up about 10x the value of our company in guarantees in return for us getting BuggerAll% of the sales after they had been through BAe's accountants.
So we found some foreign chaps to sell them to - they are so pleased they gave us a grant to transfer all the manufacturing to their country as well.

It appears the MoD (and AFAIK the DoD is rather similar) because they like the idea that someone can absorb the overheads of their *huge* paper trails.
The real question *any* company should ask the MoD is *why* do we need to do this?
NB The MoD, unlike the DoD (as part of the US Govt) *cannot* unilaterally cancel contracts without compensation.

A jacket sown entirely from Ziplocs won't keep you warm at night or keep you dry when there's a storm raging outside. However, it can let you snack to your heart's content because after all, you are wearing a bag made from Ziplocs.
Obviously, it's not recommended to fill any of the bags with liquids of any kind at all, even though you might use Ziplocs to store wet leftovers or snacks in your fridge at home. What it's great for, though, are sandwiches, candy, pretzels, Pop-Tarts, chocolate, and chips.
The jacket became viral after Tumblr blogger Jaya wrote about how one of her friends put together the Ziploc jacket.

Federal authorities are closely scrutinizing the activities of the wife of the dead Boston Marathon bombing suspect in the days before and after the attacks.
The authorities are looking at a range of possibilities, two senior law enforcement officials said, including that she could have — wittingly or unwittingly — destroyed evidence, helped the bombers evade capture or even played a role in planning the attacks. As part of the investigation, F.B.I. agents are trying to determine whether female DNA found on a piece of a pressure cooker used as an explosive device in the attacks was from Katherine Russell, the wife of Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the officials said.
One of the officials said that a fingerprint had also been found on a bomb fragment and that investigators had tried to collect DNA and fingerprint samples from several people whom the authorities are scrutinizing in addition to Ms. Russell.
Federal authorities took a sample of Ms. Russell's DNA on Monday in Rhode Island, where she has been staying with her parents, the officials said.
Her lawyer, Amato A. DeLuca, has said that Ms. Russell was shocked when she learned that her husband and brother-in-law were suspected of involvement in the attack. "We want to state what we stated before: Katie continues to assist in the investigation in any way that she can," he said Monday in an e-mail.
The focus on Ms. Russell is part of the wider effort by the F.B.I. to determine who else may have played a role aiding the bombers. While the authorities do not believe the bombers were tied to a larger terrorist network or had accomplices, they remain skeptical that others did not know of their plans or did not help them destroy evidence. A law enforcement official said that authorities were investigating individuals who may have helped the suspects in some way after the bombings. The official would not elaborate.
Ms. Russell, 24, grew up in North Kingstown, R.I., and is the daughter of a physician. She met Mr. Tsarnaev at Suffolk University, her lawyer said. She converted to Islam and married him in 2010.
Mr. DeLuca has said that Ms. Russell does not speak Russian, so she could not always understand what her husband was saying.
On Monday, another lawyer was added to the defense team of the surviving bombing suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19. Judy Clarke, one of the nation's foremost experts in death penalty cases, took the case at the behest of Mr. Tsarnaev's three federal public defenders.
Ms. Clarke's past clients include Susan Smith, who was convicted of drowning her two children, Theodore J. Kaczynski, the Unabomber, and Jared Loughner, who killed six people at an event held by Representative Gabrielle Giffords in Arizona. All avoided the death penalty and received life sentences instead.
"In light of the circumstances in this case, the defendant requires an attorney with more background, knowledge and experience in federal death penalty cases than that possessed by current counsel," federal Magistrate Judge Marianne B. Bowler wrote in her order appointing Ms. Clarke, who is based in San Diego.

FRIDAY, May 17, 2013 (HealthDay News) -- There are apps that turn your smartphone into a metal detector, a musical instrument and a GPS system, and now there's an app that may help doctors save your life if you're having a heart attack.
The app, which was designed by engineers and critical care physicians, helps doctors rapidly diagnose certain kinds of severe heart attacks, called STEMIs, before patients get to the hospital.
The app currently is in the experimental stage, but it has undergone field testing.
In a STEMI heart attack, which stands for ST segment elevated myocardial infarction, a clot completely blocks blood flow to the heart. About a quarter of a million people have STEMIs each year in the United States.
These kinds of heart attacks create a unique pattern of pulses when doctors hook up patients to an electrocardiogram, or EKG, machine, which measures the heart's electrical activity.
The problem is that doctors need to see the EKG reading, which is called a tracing, to properly diagnose the attack and quickly assemble the team of specialists that is needed to clear the clot.
There are proprietary systems that use EKG machines hooked up to modems to send images back to hospital computers, but those systems are expensive and not all hospitals and EMS systems can afford them.
As an alternative, paramedics can use their smartphones in the field to snap a picture of the tracing and send it to a doctor at the hospital via email.
But as anyone who has ever tried to email a picture from their phone knows, it's far from foolproof. Large, high-quality images -- the kind doctors need to see -- can take several minutes to send and receive.
To address the issue, Dr. David Burt, an associate professor of emergency medicine at the University of Virginia, challenged a class of systems engineering students to develop an app that could shrink images to make them faster to send, but still maintain the clarity needed for diagnoses.
"It's very easy to use," Burt said. "You hold it over the EKG tracing, you snap a picture." Hitting a button sends the image. When it's finished, the app shakes and makes noise to alert senders to the successful transmission.
"It's very simple but we want it to be very rugged, so that it's kind of like a hammer -- it always works," he said. He also wants to offer the app at no cost to doctors and hospitals.
So far, Burt said, they have tested the app more than 1,500 times using different wireless carriers in a city.
They also have pitted the app against the alternative method of using an iPhone to email a picture. In that study, the app consistently sent images within four to six seconds. Emailed images could take nearly two minutes to go through. The app failed less than 1 percent of the time, while the emailed images flopped between 3 percent and 71 percent of the time, according to the study.
The study is scheduled for presentation Friday at an American Heart Association meeting in Baltimore. Studies presented at medical conferences are considered preliminary because they haven't yet undergone the scrutiny required for publication in a peer-reviewed journal.
Dr. Iltifat Husain, founder of the iMedicalApps website, which keeps up with news about technology in medicine, said he was impressed by the app, but also by how thoroughly the team has been testing it. Husain estimates that less than 1 percent of apps that are developed for doctors are field tested to see if they actually work.
"Something like this would have to be tested before it was put to use because of how critical the information is that you're relaying," said Husain, who was not involved in the research.
Husain, who also is an emergency medicine resident at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, N.C., said the time the app shaves off image transmission could be critical.
"The longer you wait, the more heart muscle dies, so every minute counts," he said. "Actually, every second counts."
Surviving a STEMI depends on how quickly doctors can restore blood flow, which often is done by snaking a catheter up to the heart and using a small balloon to clear the clot.
"We'll get an EKG reading and the ER physician will activate the cath lab. Once you activate it, a huge team has to be assembled," Husain said. "If it's overnight, people are sometimes coming in from home. If you can get someone coming in from home five minutes faster, I think it's a big deal."

Harry "Shane" Mosley, a Pendleton resident and former Oldham County Police officer, was sentenced in early December after being convicted of one count of official misconduct and taking an Alford plea on a second count of the same charge.
He was sentenced to serve nine months jail time for each count, to be served concurrently, in addition to more than $1,200 in fines and court costs.
Jan. 5 -- Corey R. Steinbach, 22, La Grange, was cited for failure to or improper signal, operating on suspended or revoked operator's license.

The first meeting of the year for the Oldham County Local Emergency Planning Committee included an introduction of two new chiefs to the county.
La Grange Police Chief Frank Conway was appointed in early January and he spoke to the committee about the plans for a better department.
"I would like to make this a more progressive department," Conway said.
First, Conway said he would like to add more officers to the staff.
Courtney Baxter, Commonwealth's Attorney for the 12th Judicial Circuit has hired the Hon. Matt Hudson (right) as a part-time Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney. Hudson was sworn in by the Hon. Judge Karen Conrad (left) on Jan. 6
An attorney for Harry "Shane" Mosley is petitioning Oldham Circuit Judge Karen Conrad to suspend the remainder of his nine month sentence, even though he has served less than one month of it.
Attorney Steve Schroering made the motion before Conrad last Thursday, acknowledging he was early on the usual 30-day window to request such a motion, but said he wanted to get it considered before Februrary.
The former county road superintendent and his father have pleaded not guilty to several charges against them, including abuse of public trust and theft by unlawful taking.
Lance Eric Lashley, the former superintendent, and his father, Jack Eric Lashley, were both indicted in December on multiple charges. Lance Lashley was indicted on one count of abuse of public trust (less than $10,000) and theft by unlawful taking, more than $500 but less than $10,000. Both are felony charges.
The former county road superintendent and his father have plead not guilty to several charges against them, including abuse of public trust and theft by unlawful taking.

I deliberated whether I should publish this question here, or in CS.stackexchange. I decided to do it here, as I think that the opinion of security experts will be more helpful.
I'm teaching in some academic institute. We decided to add a mandatory course: Introduction to Cyber Security.
We know that most of our graduates won't stay in the academy and go to work, and we believe that at least basic knowledge in information security is a must today. The course's goal is not to make the students professional information security people, but to give them the basic and expose them to this field.
Generally, I can count two goals of this course:
Expose the students to the world of information security, and give them (again, most of them will go to the industry) useful tools and knowledge. The tools and the knowledge should be useful also for graduates who do not work in the field of information security.
Encourage students to take also the advanced courses in this field.
Considering these goals, I have two questions for you, as we now have discussions about the content of the course.
Which subjects you believe should be included in such a course? What are the most important things? Which topics are the most relevant for graduates that will work in the industry, but not in the field of information security. Specifically, topics like Secure Coding are very relevant to every programmer, but it is less interesting (in my opinion). Another topic that I thought about, is passwords management.
We have special debate about SSL. I believe it is a must in such a course. Even if we choose not to teach about the specific algorithms, it is a must to know how this protocol works: What is certificate, how to use it, which problems SSL comes to solve, etc. Everyone uses this protocol, and I encountered many cases where knowledge of SSL was crucial. However, I was surprised to see that I have some opposition about this topic (SSL). I would like to hear your opinion: do you think SSL should be one of the topics?
Every other ideas and remarks are welcomed.
Thanks in advance,
Additional details:
My course contains 13 meetings (units) of three (academic) hours each. Units that I believe should be in the course, some of them following your great answers:
Introduction + CIA triad
Thinking like a hacker
Scans (and relevant tools).
Firewall, IDS, IPS
Public and Private key shortly and SSL
Denial of Service
Network level - mainly DNS
Application level - two units with basic examples: SQL injection and maybe XSS (as second attack).
passwords management
Secure-Coding - with attention to mobile (and common mistakes).
What do you say? I mentioned 12 topics.

Apartments for sale in Manila represent a notable investment opportunity for lots of people. Much of the Western world is continuing to suffer after the economic downturn and real estate values are still continuing to decline or showing low growth in many countries. On the other hand, the opposite is true in Asia. In fact, much of Asia especially the Philippines is continuing to have economic growth. According to the IMF (International Monetary Fund), the Philippines economy is predicted to grow about 5 percent next year.
This growth is reflected in the countries' real estate trends. According to the Asian Journal, the Philippine's real estate market is getting more attractive all the time. This is particularly true in the capital of Manila. The average cost of apartments in this city has increased more than 3 percent while the rents are up more than 10 percent. According to the same newspaper, the price of an apartment in Manila is only ten percent of the cost of an apartment in Singapore. Those numbers alone present Manila a very interesting place to invest. This is true for both American and European investors plus Filipino ex-pat investors.
According to Forbes and MSN, the Philippines is one of the best countries to invest in real estate at the moment. They suggest that Manila offers landlords an average of an 8.98 Percent ROI. That figure makes it one of the top three countries to invest in Asia.
Century Properties, 1 of the largest private owned real estate developers in the Philippines with 25 years experience are 1 of the companies leading the trend.
Century has launched the Milano Residences with designed interiors by Versace Home. They have recently announced collaboration with American celebrity and heir to the Hilton Hotel fortune Paris Hilton who will help design the concept for another development, the Azure Beach Clubhouse, part of Century Properties planned urban resort Azure in Paranaque City, Manila.
In 2016, Century will complete their $150 million development in Manila, the new Trump Tower Manila which will be the tallest building in Manila at 820 feet. It will feature about 220 residential spaces that are being marketed at the moment and it will be the final planned residential tower in Century City, their flagship mixed use project.
According to Robbie Antonio, MD of Century Properties, this is the right time to invest in the area. He has said, "There is never a more opportune time than today to launch Trump Tower Manila, which is perhaps the country's most powerful symbol of progress and readingess to compete on the world stage." Eric Trump, executive vice president, real estate development and mergers and acquisitions, at The Trump Organization, Trump Tower also shares Antonio's thoughts about the promises offered by the region. He has said, "The Philippines offers incredible opportunity given the tremendous wealth in the region."
Apartments for sale in Manila are a great investment option for the keen investor. Buying an apartment in Trump Tower Manila or one of Century Properties other developments is a good way to get involved in the growing city and benefit from the growing economy and Manila property market in the Philippines.

Blago Joining Reality Show, in the Jungle
Rod Blagojevich's months-long media bombing campaign has reached its inevitable climax: The disgraced former Illinois governor plans to join an NBC reality show, alongside J. Lo's ex-husband.
Blago, who just pled "not guilty" to federal corruption charges in the most insane way possible, is in talks to star in a forthcoming survival-style reality show on NBC, the Chicago Tribune reports. His attorney just warned the judge in his case that the governor will soon ask for dispensation from his travel restrictions to travel to the Costa Rican's jungle for the show.
Here's the show's official description (via Hollywood Reporter):
"Ten celebrities of various backgrounds will be dropped into the heart of the Costa Rican jungle to face challenges designed to test their skills in adapting to the wilderness and to raise money for their favorite charities."
It's not yet clear which charity Blago plans to shake down over his potential winnings.

According to new reports from ThinkSecret, Adobe Photoshop CS3 is not only due out in the second quarter of 2007, it's also a darned exciting release. Those of us with Intel Macs and not enough RAM have been waiting for CS3 and its native support for Intel chips with bated breath. But Adobe is also claiming improved performance for PPC-based Macs, so there's something in the release for everyone.
There's a new After Effects 7 style interface that's supposed to be more customizable. There's also more 3D support, and the perspective tools' function is supposed to improve markedly—more on that later. There's more support for After Effects and Premier—exciting if that floats your boat (mine's still tied at the dock). I'm most intrigued by the live filters, which takes the live layer effects paradigm and extends them to classic filters like Gaussian Blur. You can bump the filter's parameters any time after applying it.
As has been reported previously, apparently, Adobe is still considering making two classes of Photoshop, standard and pro. The perspective tools from CS2 have been improved and may make their way into the pro version where Adobe can charge us even more for them. I wish I could grin impudently at that thought, but I can't. Currently, it pisses me off that Adobe Suite is expensive enough that I can't upgrade but once every four versions or so. Yes, I'm still running Photoshop 7.
Which brings me to software activation. I hate it. But I have noticed in the last year or so, that it's been turned off of my old version of Photoshop. Photoshop 7 no longer cares if I run 23 other copies on my home network. I hate the very idea of activation. It's like Adobe is saying:
"Hello, valued customer, we think you're a thief. So we're going to keep your thieving paws off our software while not really making a serious dent in real piracy. We're going to punish you—all of you—for the transgressions of a few."
That's just bad business. And it sucks besides. It sucks not because I won't pony up the bucks for Photoshop. It sucks because I'm not a thief and I seriously do not like being called one.
While I don't like DRM, I've long believed that if the DRM on a product is not too onerous, people will still buy it despite restrictions. The iTunes Store is a perfect example. Yes, there is DRM, but in practice, it doesn't really impact your daily life. Being able to install two copies of CS3 and run one at a time will probably work for my small office. So, I'll hold my nose and buy it. The kids can still use Photoshop 7—assuming they need anything with even that much power. And there's always The GIMP.

Every autumn brings an air that is crisp and filled with a sense of change and each autumn the ARDA Fall Conference takes a look at the past year as it prepares for the upcoming new year. This year, industry leaders came together in positive synergy to look at 2018 and the endless possibilities that it holds. This air of positivity was strongly felt throughout the conference halls, in the courtyard, around dinner tables and even overflowing into the city streets of Washington DC. It helped to fuel our industry workshops and meetings during the conference, as we begin to develop key strategies that will lay the foundation for our industry's continued growth. This year's program took a deeper-dive into the economic and political environments that surround our business and the initiatives that help to drive our industry forward. Here are a few highlights:
Interval International kicked off Fall Conference with it's opening night reception.
ARDA Trustees mingled during the Trustee Foundation Dinner at the Kreeger Museum hosted by First American Title Insurance Company.
ARDA-ROC Legislative Luncheon special guest speaker A.B. Stoddard shared insightful analysis of recent mid-term elections and key forces at work in the overall political landscape.
ARDA president and CEO, Howard Nusbaum gave the State of the Industry address, which included panelists (L-R) Robb Webb of Baker & Hostetler; Robert Spottswood of Spottswood Companies; Don Harrill of Holiday Inn Club Vacations; and Mark Wang of Hilton Grand Vacations.
Keynote speaker former Chief Economist of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Martin Regalia dispelled some of the mysteries of the U.S. economy (sponsored by Fidelity National Timeshare).
RCI hosted a luminous closing reception to celebrate another successful Fall Conference.
Chairman's League Breakfast (sponsored by Resort Travel & Xchange) speaker Charlie Cook, editor and publisher of The Cook Political Report and Columnist for the National Journal, shared his thoughts on political pundits and what to expect for the 2020 election.

I know that many of you attended this
year's ARDA World Convention and Exposition in Las Vegas—in fact we
hosted nearly 3,000 timeshare professionals from around the world, with over 35
countries represented! And I think you'll agree that the content, the
networking, and the all around sentiment were all top notch.
But in case you weren't able to join us,
here's a brief rundown of just some of the highlights.
Scott Klososky, a business leader and social technology and
trends guru, was the keynote speaker and he definitely got the crowd thinking
about their use of technology and what it means for their business in the
future. His message was clear: take a chance on embracing technology to reshape
your business now…before you are left behind.
also got more "food for thought" from several timeshare CEOs from Disney Vacation Ownership, Marriott
Vacation Club International, Wyndham Vacation Ownership, and Welk Resorts. They
talked about how the industry is evolving to meet the next generation of
customers, technology, products, employees, and distribution channels.
well-attended, positively-reviewed session was "Getting Serious About Social: A Social Media Show & Tell." The
panelists shared strategies to communicate with consumers before, during, and
after their vacation. And they gave the audience ideas of how to do this
whether they were a social media novice or expert—all geared toward using social media
as a way to engage customers.
At the Awards
Gala on Wednesday night, the best and brightest in the industry were recognized
through the ARDA Awards program. A complete list of winners is available on ARDA's Awards website. Congratulations
to all!
And finally,
I have to mention the golf, the parties and the camaraderie—it's often these kinds of activities that
bring the most benefit to attending Convention: the relationships
you take home with you. Hope to see you at the 2015 ARDA World in Orlando!

Vacations have a universal appeal—they're a common interest that crosses cultures and borders, as evidenced by the expansive international presence timeshare already has today.
From Finland to Thailand to South Africa, timeshare is not only breaking ground, but also breaking records around the world. Sales at the Anantara Vacation Club: Phuket in Mai Khao, Thailand, have increased 100 percent, year over year. Kodagu Valley Resort in Coorg, India, is now working on a sister property, thanks to overwhelming demand. And a full sell-out of Grand Solmar Land's End Resort & Spa in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico is projected in the next two years.
This indicates that demand for timeshare across the world is growing steadily—a trend we hope to see continue in the coming decade.
But the real beauty of international expansion is that everyone benefits. Consumers abroad have access to the product in their local regions, owners have the opportunity to travel to new, exciting destinations through exchanges, and the communities in which we operate locally reap the rewards from the continued growth of international tourism to America.
Over the years, we've broken down borders to the point where vacations are now a global enterprise. It's safe to say the world is now more interconnected than ever—and when it comes to timeshare, the sky is truly the limit.
Read more about the universal appeal of timeshare in this month's Developments magazine. And I'll see you soon at ARDA World in Las Vegas!

With ARDA World right around the corner, it's not too early to start planning for the industry's biggest gathering. In addition to all the networking, festivities, and renewed connections that surround the event, ARDA offers the most comprehensive educational sessions to help newcomers and seasoned professionals stay current and informed.
This year, under the umbrella of the Resort Operations Council, Suppliers Council, and Construction & Design Council, members have the opportunity to help educate attendees about two important topics:
The new generation of owners – As we see an increase in ARDA members who represent mature resorts, it is clear that operations are just as important as a component of timesharing as sales and marketing. The session Generation Transition: How to Keep Your Resort's Product Relevant is directed at resorts whose aging owner base may be looking for a way to leave. The session will explore ways to physically improve the product to better appeal to a younger buyer, including what interior designs and components will best attract this segment and what technologies and amenities could be implemented to stay current.
The conversion of existing properties to timeshare products – On the flip side, a session called Everything That's Old is Renewed Again will discuss relevant issues pertaining to conversion. They will examine important topics such as the best ways to assess which hotels and condominiums are candidates to be converted to timeshare. The panel will also look into risks and rewards in making this change. Converting condos and hotels into timeshares delves deep into the history of our industry, and this new spin on the historically successful concept is bound to offer innovative insights.
Educational sessions are only one aspect of ARDA World. The Expo Hall is another excellent place to learn more about what's going on with members of the Suppliers Council, as well as scores of other vendors. Whether it is textiles, patio furniture, homeowner's kits, cleaning supplies, or insurance—this is where you will be able to talk with experts first hand.
So mark your calendars and prepare yourself for ARDA World. Las Vegas is waiting for you!

Ask any ARDA Convention veteran (that's most of us), and they'll agree—arriving at ARDA World is like stepping into an episode of the 80's sitcom "Cheers." Everybody knows your name, and they're always glad you came. It's a beautiful thing, really.
What's remarkable about Convention is that it removes us from our silos and reminds us that we're all a part of something bigger than just individual companies. Once there, we reflect on the challenges and opportunities we face collectively, consider where we're heading as an industry, and brainstorm ideas to take us to the next level. We work together (regardless of being competitors outside the conference halls) to benefit the industry as a whole.
For those of you who haven't yet had the chance to attend, I'm telling you now, you won't want to miss this premier gathering for our industry. Convention is the place to be!
Expand your industry knowledge at ARDA World through:
Networking – Unique opportunities to meet face-to-face with your peers from across the world and expand your network to learn from one another, share best practices, forge new business relationships, and celebrate successes.
Education – With more than 40 exciting sessions running the gamut, from recruiting top talent and attracting the next generation of buyers, to navigating consumer protection laws and structuring deals in the new world order, this Convention has it all.
Trend Setting – ARDA maintains its status as the leading resource on the latest trends including IBM's annual "5 in 5" predictions list naming big data at the center of the new era in computing. So don't miss the chance to learn more about what it is, how to use it, and why you should care, at one (or both) of the big data sessions.
So come on down, where everybody knows your name! ARDA World 2014 promises to be another unforgettable occasion, and I look forward to seeing you there!

With ARDA World 2014 right around the corner, all of us at ARDA are thinking about the value of bringing our industry together. It seems that ARDA World serves its greatest purpose as a "connector" and a "collective"—otherwise known as a "collective connection!"
A recent article in Developments magazine discussed this very issue. It stated, "Collective progress comes from the application of collective intelligence: putting more minds to work on a problem…makes the discovery of new and better solutions much more likely."
Isn't that what ARDA World is all about? Innovation that becomes progress and then best practices…it's been woven into the very fabric of our industry for 45 years. This energetic force field of new ideas dwells at the core of ARDA World.
We look forward to another year of bringing our industry together to create a mash-up of ideas, best practices, and brainstorm to fuel our own "collective creativity" engine to push forward in new ways.
Early-bird registration deadline is February 7, so sign up now—can't wait to see you there!

The Best Damned Ribs You've Never Tried
I love sharing recipes, and I have a lot of them I go back to over and over. This recipe is in my top five, and I've never served them to anyone who didn't beg for it afterward. (By "it" I mean the recipe, sickos). I realize this picture is kind of a big gloppy of pile of ribs, but there's a simple explanation...it's a big, gloppy pile of ribs.
Yes, they require some labor. Yes, you will need a defibrillator and a Lipitor drip. Yes, there are a lot of ingredients, but don't be so goddamned lazy. You have to hack up some vegetables, dump them all into a pan with the ribs and let them braise for a few hours. Cry me a river. Once they cool overnight you slice 'em, bread 'em, fry the shit out of them and dip them into a quick-and-easy Asian-esque barbecue sauce that'll make you slap your mama. They're crispy, they're tangy, and you won't stop with just one. According to the recipe, there's enough to serve 6. Once you try them, you'll realize they serve 2. Oink.
Thanks to Food and Wine magazine for rocking our world over and over with this recipe, originally published in 2006. Thanks Kairu Yao for the photo.
Oola's Crispy Deep-Fried Ribs
One reason Oola's ribs are so impossibly good is that they're braised for hours and then deep-fried so they're supercrisp. The sauce—which includes ketchup and plenty of garlic—was originally concocted for chicken wings.
14 large garlic cloves—8 peeled and smashed, 6 minced
1/2 cup sliced fresh ginger plus 1/4 cup minced (6 ounces total)
6 scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts separated
4 star anise pods
3 cups soy sauce
2 quarts water
2 cups ginger ale
1/2 cup dry white wine
Strips of zest and juice from 1 navel orange
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup cilantro stems plus 1/4 cup coarsely chopped cilantro
3 racks of baby back ribs (5 1/2 pounds)
1/4 cup vegetable oil, plus more for frying
2 cups lightly packed brown sugar
1 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1. Preheat the oven to 400°. In a large roasting pan, combine the smashed garlic with the sliced ginger, scallion whites, star anise, 1 1/2 cups of the soy sauce, the water, ginger ale, white wine, orange zest and juice, granulated sugar and cilantro stems. Set the pan over 2 burners and bring to a boil over moderately high heat.
2. Add the baby back ribs to the roasting pan, cover tightly with foil and bake for about 2 hours, or until the ribs are very tender. Let cool to room temperature, then spread the ribs out in a single layer on a baking sheet and refrigerate until chilled and firm, about 30 minutes. Discard the braising liquid.
3. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, heat 1/4 cup of the vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger and the scallion greens and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups of soy sauce, the brown sugar, ketchup and crushed red pepper and bring to a boil. Cook over moderately high heat for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and add the chopped cilantro. Transfer the rib sauce to a large bowl.
4. In a large, sturdy pot, heat 1 1/2 inches of vegetable oil to 375°. In a large bowl, whisk the flour with the cornstarch. Cut the racks into individual ribs. Toss the ribs in the flour mixture and shake off the excess. Working in batches, fry the ribs until the coating is lightly golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. Transfer the ribs to paper towels to drain briefly, then add them to the sauce in the bowl and toss to coat. Pile on a platter and serve hot.
MAKE AHEAD The recipe can be prepared through Step 3; refrigerate the ribs and sauce separately for up to 2 days.

Veteran Cargill executive David W. MacLennan will take the reins of the agribusiness giant later this year, heading one of the world's largest private companies at a time when it is pouring investment dollars into fast-growing international frontiers from Asia to South America.
MacLennan, Cargill's 54-year-old president and chief operating officer, succeeds Greg Page, who will become the company's executive chairman. Page, 62, has been Cargill's CEO since 2007, presiding over a period of expansion and mostly strong profit growth.
MacLennan said after Wednesday's announcement that he was honored by the appointment, which takes effect Dec. 1, and will seek continuity with the course set by the Minnetonka-based company's senior leadership team in recent years.
"I believe in our strategy and the strategic foundations set out under Greg," he said in an interview.
The changing of the guard doesn't occur too often at Cargill: MacLennan will become only the ninth CEO of one of Minnesota's oldest companies, founded in 1865 and rooted in the state's agricultural past.
Today, it's one of the most global U.S.-based companies, yet it's still owned mostly by ancestors of the Cargill and MacMillan families, the company's longtime stewards. About 100 descendants own about 90 percent of Cargill's stock.
Cargill employs about 140,000 worldwide and has vast interests in 65 countries, from grain handling to cocoa to road salt to processed meat to financial services. Minnesota's largest company, Cargill had $137 billion in revenue and $2.3 billion in profits in its fiscal year that ended in May.
Long-standing transition period
MacLennan has held various leadership positions at the company in its financial, energy and meat-processing segments. He became the company's chief financial officer in 2008, the same year he was elected to Cargill's board. Since 2011, MacLennan has been chief operating officer, often a steppingstone to the CEO suite.
MacLennan said Cargill's challenges include maintaining growth in a complicated world economy fraught with competition. With Cargill's heft, it's not only a giant supplier to global companies, it's a key player in the world's food supply system.
That puts it at the heart of issues — sometimes controversial — about growing global food demand. "Being as big as we are, there is always something interesting happening in the Cargill world," MacLennan said.
The announcement capped a transition period that had been taking shape for a year and a half. "To us this is no surprise," said Chris Johnson, an analyst at Standard & Poor's who covers Cargill's publicly traded debt.
"We were expecting that possibly David or a couple of other senior executives would replace Greg Page," Johnson said. "At a senior management level, we think there has been good succession planning [at Cargill.]"
MacLennan was born in Boston and raised partly in Chicago and partly in the Twin Cities. He graduated from Edina East High School. He has a bachelor's degree from Amherst College and an MBA from the University of Chicago.
MacLennan started his career as a runner and clerk at the Chicago Board of Trade, heart of the nation's agricultural commodity business. "That's where I cut my teeth on markets, futures and risk," he said.
He joined Cargill in 1991, working his way up to become chief financial officer of Cargill Financial Services before leaving the company in 2000 to head the bond department at U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray. While he called his stint at Piper a "great experience," MacLennan returned to Cargill in 2002, landing a job in the company's Geneva office.
Many peaks, one valley for Page
Page, 62, has been with Cargill since 1974, and his CEO stint featured mostly good times for the firm. Five of Cargill's six most profitable years — in terms of sheer volume of earnings — came during Page's stewardship. Company revenue grew from $87 billion to $137 billion from 2007 through 2013.
"I would like to think we made progress across a host of initiatives," Page said in an interview after the change was announced Wednesday. "We really set out to broaden the company, to globalize the company."
During his tenure, Page said, 75 percent of Cargill's capital deployment has been outside of the United States, with major investments in such large and growing countries as China, India, Russia and Brazil. "We've moved the center of Cargill closer to to the center of the world's economy," he said.
Page's tenure has been marked by some key acquisitions, with the $2.2 billion buyout of Dutch animal feed provider Provimi in 2011 as the biggest. But he also found himself steering Cargill through one of its worst years in a decade in fiscal 2012.
Cargill posted its lowest annual profit that year since 2003, as volatile markets hurt its trading operations while the company's sugar, cotton and U.S. beef business also suffered. Cargill even announced a rare layoff of about 2,000 people or 1.5 percent of its global workforce, including fewer than 250 in Minnesota.
Currently, Cargill employs about 5,900 in Minnesota, mostly in professional positions in the Twin Cities.
Page is nearing Cargill's mandated retirement age of 65. As executive chairman, he will chair the company's board and continue to be a public face for Cargill, notably with policymakers.
Cargill also said Wednesday that Emery N. Koenig, its chief risk officer, had been appointed a vice chairman, a position that reports to the CEO. Paul Conway will continue to serve as vice chairman.
