For the past few weeks rumors had run rampant about the purported targets of the Stuxnet worm. One of those rumors was that the worm was targeting Iran's controversial nuclear sites. Now, according to news reports that hit yesterday, those rumors may very well be right. There's a warning in all of this for the United States.For example, this story Computer Worm Hits Iran Power Plant, which ran in the Wall Street Journal, makes the case that Stuxnet hit Iran hard:
"Studies conducted show some personal computers of the Bushehr nuclear-power plant workers are infected with the virus," the facility's project manager, Mahmoud Jafari, told Iran's official Islamic Republic News Agency. He said the virus hasn't caused major damage and won't affect the scheduled completion of the plant next month.
And on the scope of the attack, from the same story:
The acknowledgment of the infiltration at Bushehr followed another revelation over the weekend that an Iranian investigation found that Stuxnet had infected 30,000 machines involved in running industrial control systems, the director of Iran's Information Technology Council of the Industries and Mines Ministry told another Iranian news agency on Saturday. "An electronic war has been launched against Iran," the director, Mahmoud Liaii, said.
Specialists from Iranian's nuclear agency met last week to discuss how to battle the Stuxnet virus, according to Iranian reports. A cyber attack on Bushehr is dangerous because the worm is capable of reprogramming the systems controlling the plant, but the facility at Bushehr isn't considered to be a significant proliferation risk because it is under U.N. controls.
However, Iran denies that the worm struck its first nuclear plant at Bushehr. From the AFP yesterday:
The malicious Stuxnet computer worm has hit 30,000 industrial computers in Iran, officials said on Sunday, but denied the Islamic republic's first nuclear plant at Bushehr was among those infected.
So far, Stuxnet has infected about 30,000 IP addresses in Iran, Mahmoud Liayi, head of the information technology council at the ministry of industries, was quoted as saying by the government-run newspaper Iran Daily.
While Stuxnet has struck industrial systems around the globe, with confirmations of successful infections of that magnitude in one country, it's certainly lending credibility that Iran's nuclear program was the target of the attack.
We will probably never know exactly where Stuxnet originated, but no doubt suspicions will remain on the U.S. and Israel.
Today, while most attention is on Stuxnet, we are reminded just how vulnerable (as one of the most dependent nations on technology) the United States is to being the victim of such attacks on its own power grid and critical infrastructure. Or, perhaps we've already been hacked and widespread compromises already exist.
From the Wall Street Journal's story Electricity Grid in U.S. Penetrated By Spies:
WASHINGTON -- Cyberspies have penetrated the U.S. electrical grid and left behind software programs that could be used to disrupt the system, according to current and former national-security officials.
The spies came from China, Russia and other countries, these officials said, and were believed to be on a mission to navigate the U.S. electrical system and its controls. The intruders haven't sought to damage the power grid or other key infrastructure, but officials warned they could try during a crisis or war.
And, yet, we are still grappling with how we are going to protect our critical infrastructure from such attacks. In InformationWeek's J. Nicholas Hoover's story Cyber Command Director: U.S. Needs To Secure Critical Infrastructure it is clear that this country is still not sure how to go about protecting the electronic infrastructure we so heavily depend:
General Keith Alexander, director of the new U.S. Cyber Command and the National Security Agency, is advocating the creation of a "secure, protected zone" in which critical infrastructure like the financial industry, the power grid and the defense industrial base would operate on the Internet, he said in an interview with select group of reporters Wednesday afternoon ahead of his testimony to the House Armed Services Committee on Thursday morning.
Though Gen. Alexander noted that such a solution was just one that is on the table, he stressed that the federal government, including U.S. Cyber Command, will likely be part of a team approach to helping protect the nation's critical infrastructure from devastating cyber attacks.
The White House, he said, is leading a group to look at cybersecurity policy and at the authorities currently in place to protect the nation's networks, including critical infrastructure networks.
"The question is, how do we do it," Alexander said. "Doing it, technically, is fairly straightforward. Getting everybody satisfied is the harder thing." Any such plan, he said, would leave the commercial Internet, "where our kids might communicate," untouched.
What a troubling state. It's been more than eight years since the first National Strategy To Secure Cyberspace was published, and much attention in those years paid to the security of the nation's critical infrastructure, and still we don't have a functional defense plan in place.
For my security and technology observations throughout the day, consider following me on Twitter.
The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?
Join Dark Reading senior editor Sara Peters and guests Angela Knox of Cloudmark, Barrett Sellers of Arbor Networks, Regina Wallace-Jones of Facebook, Steve Christey Coley of MITRE, and Chris Roosenraad of M3AAWG on Wednesday, July 13 at 1 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss all this and more.

Hagopm posted a topic in Maintenance / Servicing / MOT DiscussionsHiya I have a 1998 Focus, I'm recently back from Switzerland, I've done about 8,000 miles since I bought it last august, it now needs MOT, I expect it will need a service beforehand. Can anyone reccomend a good cheap garage in the NW London area where I can take it for a service and then MOT? also, both the wing mirrors have been damaged and are held in place by gaffer tape. They still work fine so its just a cosmetic issue, could this result in an MOT fail thanks H

|A question about prefetch with NMS
|Fri, 24 Oct 2008 21:46:55 GMT
I'm using NMS version 1.1 and AMQ version 5.2 When I set the connection string in the client API to: tcp://localhost:61616?jms.prefetchPolicy.all=1 I *thought* that was going to give me a prefetch buffer of 1 for all consumers. Looking at the Subscribers in the JMX console the consumers have the default prefetch of 1000. In order to get the prefetch set I have to set it on all consumers, ex: MyQueueName?consumer.prefetchSize=1 It would be nice to set it globally. Am I doing something wrong? Could I be setting this in the broker by putting jms.prefetchPolicy.all in the URI attribute of the openwire transport connector? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/A-question-about-prefetch-with-NMS-tp20157793p20157793.html Sent from the ActiveMQ - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

AT&T Inc (T.N), GameStop Corp (GME.N) and RadioShack are all seeing a bump in sales of mobile chargers and in some cases charging cases since the game went live on July 6, with GameStop reporting a 45 percent jump in sales and Radio Shack seeing a 50 percent increase, executives told Reuters. Encouraged by the early boost in sales, the retailers are using social media, free charging stations, and even old-fashioned lemonade stands to draw nearby gamers into their stores. While the game is not yet open to consumer brands looking to advertise in alternate reality, GameStop, RadioShack and Sprint Corp (S.N) are finding ways to capitalize on the frenzy around the game to get players into their stores.

I directed and shot this short scene that I will make into a short film in 2009.
This was shot on small digital camera without boom and with people walking by, helicopters buzzing, and cars blaring music. These actors were super professional, picking up at a moments notice, and going with the street life as it happened.
This story is based on my Mom leaving me and my sister in Communist Hungary for 5 years.

Chronic Kidney Disease
Kidney transplant
If you have chronic kidney disease that progresses, you may have the option of a kidney transplant. Most experts agree that it is the best option for people with kidney failure. In general, people who have kidney transplants live longer than people treated with dialysis.
You will probably be considered a good candidate if you don't have significant heart, lung, or liver disease or other diseases, such as cancer, which might decrease your life span.

George Lopez Finds a Perfect Match
"I'll give you one of mine," Ann Lopez said to her husband the moment the couple learned he would need a kidney transplant. He thought she was joking. But George Lopez, star of ABC's The George Lopez Show, is the comic, not his wife. And so, just before sunrise on a Tuesday in April of 2005, the Lopezes arrived at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, where they were prepped for surgery in neighboring rooms. Right before Ann was wheeled to the operating room --- her surgery began first...
Read the George Lopez Finds a Perfect Match article > >
There are some drawbacks. You may have to wait for a kidney to be donated. If so, you will need to have dialysis while you wait. Also, it may be hard to find a good match for your blood and tissue types. Sometimes, even when the match is good, the body rejects the new kidney.
After a kidney transplant, you will have to take medicines called immunosuppressants. These medicines, such as cyclosporine or tacrolimus, help prevent your body from rejecting your new kidney.
- It is very important to take your medicines exactly as prescribed. This will help keep your body from rejecting your new kidney.
- You will need to take medicines for the rest of your life.
- Because these medicines weaken the function of your immune system, you will have an increased risk for serious infections or cancer.
Even if you take your medicines, there is a chance that your body will reject your new kidney. If this happens, you will have to resume dialysis or have another kidney transplant.
The success of the transplant also depends on what kind of donor kidney you are receiving. The closer the donor kidney matches your genetic makeup, the better the chances that your body will not reject it.
For more general information about transplant, see the topic Organ Transplant.
What to think about
A kidney transplant doesn't guarantee that you will live longer than you would have without a new kidney.

High-performance enhancement-mode (E-mode) AlN/GaN metal-oxide-semiconductor heterojunction field-effect transistors (MOSHFETs) on Si substrates have been demonstrated. Record high peak transconductance Gm of 509 mS/mm and maximum drain current Id of 860 mA/mm were achieved for E-mode MOSHFETs with a source/drain spacing value Lsd of 0.7 m. Low gate leakage current (<;10-3 mA/mm) and improved ohmic contact resistance (0.153 Ω·mm) were enabled by a combination of Al2O3 gate dielectric and regrown source/drain contacts. Al2O3 also significantly increases the 2DEG density under the channel, which is beneficial for device performance by reducing the access resistance. The on-resistance is as low as 1.63 mm. The average regrowth interface resistance across the sample was estimated to be 0.056 Ω·mm. The E-mode MOSHFETs exhibit a high Ion/Ioff ratio up to 106.

Practice is the foundation of golf. Without it, the game can be frustrating, eventually sending golfers' into a fragile state of agitation. Knowing how important practice is, Indian Head Golf Park's instructors and staff focus their efforts on helping golfers improve their game. At the park's well-lit driving range, staff members keep golfers well stocked with buckets of range balls to blow off steam as they aim for the ball-retriever cart. Instructor Bob Greenstein works with students during private lessons to fine-tune their swings, and he hosts junior golf camps during summer to introduce youngsters to the game.

Stayed for one night in August with the family. The rooms were small, bathrooms tiny. The beds were the most comfortable hotel beds ever.
The hotel is small and basic with very steep stairs. We were allocated two rooms, one on the first floor and one on the second. Having struggled up the first set of stairs with our luggage, my wife and I decided to take the room there and sent our daughters on up to the second to stay.
Breakfast the next morning was acceptable without being exciting.
There is a pretty little garden area at the back leading down to the canal. Unfortunately when we asked if we could go into the garden we were clearly told 'No'.
Location-wise it is a fair walk into the centre of town and the canal life.
Overall it served our purposes but I would caution anyone with mobility issues about staying there.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Hotel Oorsprongpark is a two star bed & breakfast hotel in Utrecht and is within walking distance of Utrecht's lively shopping and nightlife centre.Hotel Oorsprongpark has very attractive and affordable rooms and an extensive breakfast on offer for its guests.All our prices include breakfast, tourist tax and VAT.We are also ideally positioned if your destination is outside the town centre. Utrecht University (the 'Uithof'), the 'Jaarbeurs' (Exhibition Centre) and the Beatrix Theatre are all very easily and quickly accessible by public transport. The (express) buses leave from just 50 meters from the hotel virtually every 5 minutes.With its 38 rooms, Hotel Oorsprongpark is the largest two star hotel in Utrecht. ... more less

ISSUE: Texas ballgame bullying charge
OUR VIEW: Diminishes impact of law
Ninety-one to zero: The final score of a Texas high school football game became a matter of national debate after a parent upset with the outcome tossed out an accusation.
The football coach of Aledo High School now must defend himself against allegations of bullying.
A one-sided sports score is not the kind of schoolhouse intimidation that bullying regulations and laws are set up to address. Yet the nature of the complaint and a zero-tolerance policy regarding bullying forced school officials to spend unnecessary time documenting an investigation.
Even if 91-0 is evidence of a superior team piling on a bit, it does not appear in any sense to be bullying in anyone's eyes except one parent associated with Fort Worth's Western Hills High, which lost the game.
It's not the first time this season the No. 1 ranked Aledo team dominated a game. Coach Tim Buchanan's squad has outscored opponents by an average of 77 points per game this season. Aledo is the three-time defending state 4A champions of Texas.
If anyone were to have a problem with the 91-0 rout, it would be Western Hills coach John Naylor.
Naylor told the Fort Worth Star Telegram he disagreed with the allegation.
"I think the game was handled fine," Naylor said. "They're No. 1 for a reason."
This complaint is an embarrassment. It makes a mockery of a very serious and the sometimes deadly bullying issue in America's schools.
Many states have adopted anti-bullying laws to help deal with a serious social issue and to help protect children. To try to apply the law based on the score of a high school football is absurd.
Texas regulations require Aledo's principal to launch a full investigation and produce a full written report on the complaint.
What exactly did this parent want Buchanan to tell his team to do? The coach pulled his starters and if his second-, third- and fourth-stringers could not be stopped by Western Hills' varsity, what recourse did he have? Wouldn't taking a knee for three downs and then punting be far more embarrassing than giving the Western Hills players a chance to compete?
This was not bullying, this was nothing more and nothing less than getting beat badly.
Unfortunately for the son of the Western Hills parent who cried foul, the real loss was in the lesson that could have been learned. Not everyone deserves a trophy. You win some, you lose some.
Educators and administrators have a responsibility to their professions to do everything they can to help prepare children for life after school. Learning how to deal with winning and losing is a big part of that process, and this action undermines everyone associated with Western Hills.
Life isn't always fair. Teaching kids in school that all things should be pleasant could be part of America's social problems.

I bought this rifle about seven years ago. It has never jammed. I always use quality RWS pellets. The bright front sight insert is helpful for aiming. Just yesterday I hit a soda can at 45 feet 10 of 12 shots consistently. Sometimes I hit all 12. My sons love this rifle as there's no cocking or fumbling with pellets. I never let children handle lead pellets I always load the pellet magazine for them, they aim and fire. This rifle uses CO2 cartridges which when purchased in a 40 pack from Walmart can be very inexpensive shooting. I normally fire about six magazines or 72 pellets before replacing the CO2 cartridge. A note about CO2 air guns. If you fire them fast your pressure drops a little. I try to always give a few seconds between shots to maintain constant pressure and accuracy. Please, always wear eye protection when shooting any air gun. Lastly I finally purchased extra pellet magazines from Walmart three magazines for about four dollars. Can't beat that price.
This airgun, at this pricepoint, does what it was made for: backyard plinking and casual shooting practice. It will give you a fun time, it will improve your trigger control, sight picture acquisition, and stance. It would be more fun if it came with more clips; these must be ordered separately from elsewhere--Walmart does not sell them even on-line, and Crosman charges more than the independent airgun houses. Incidently, this is NOT a semi auto at all in the sense that the CO2 BB guns are; your trigger pull rotates the round clip and cocks/fires the mechanism--it's a double-action revolver with about a six-pound pull. Accuracy at 30 feet is about one-inch groups, but deteriorates in rapid fire as the CO2 must be given time to equalize between shots. Spaced shots give you 20-30 full-power rounds before the powerlet starts to deteriorate; forty to 60 shots per powerlet are possible. For the price, it's a fun gun!
Purchased this for my daugher with a nice scope so she can start learning to shoot and be comfortable around firearms. She is 7. Removed the iron sights and placed a 4X32 scope on the rifle. This rifle is super accurate at 40-50 feet. You can split a mini carrot in half at that distance. No joke. The gun is very powerful the first 20 shots then the CO2 starts to decline. At 40 feet a standard pellet will penetrate 1/2" OSB board and the head of the pellet is poking through the backside of the board. The DOWN side to this rifle is that it jams and misfires ALOT. We purchased the pellets that the manufacture recommended-they jam. We purchased other pellets from different manufactures and they jam. Misfire and jam roughly 20% of the time. Almost every time you change the CO2 cartridge the gun will misfire on the first couple of shots. Called Crosman and they said after more use and after the breaking in period this should go away. Other than that the gun is awesome for a kid. It is lightweight and the barrel isn't very long. Just our .02 for whatever it is worth. We paid 75.00 for the gun new so we really can't complain. Just be wary.
If you want a fun little shooter or maybe a first gun for your child,its a good choice. modeled after a ruger 10\22.. It is not that accurate at distances but close up to 20 yards its quite impressive. average one inch groups..I have 2 and both about the same.. they are a blast 12 shots as fast as you want to shoot..but you should leave about 3 seconds between shots to get full power shots.. A lot of fun..
This is the third Crossman gun I have purchased. It was a piece of junk. No matter how tight I turned the co2 cartridge, it would not puncture it properly. You'd get maybe two or three shots off before it jammed. I returned it in less than 24 hours.
I have fired about 400 rounds with this and am very pleased with the accuracy and operation of the gun. You will definitely need to by extra speed loaders as Crosman only supplies one with the gun. Be aware that what you get from crosman is the rifle, a magazine and one speed loader. There are no pellets or C02 cartridges shipped with the gun. It's too bad that Walmart doesn't stock the speed loaders (since they sell the rifle).
When I bought this pellet gun nearly a year ago, I thought it was a really good idea. A gun that can shoot repeatedly is way better than only being able to shoot one at a time and then having to reload. After having this for a year, I can see that it's not the case -- IF you're wanting to hunt small game with it. But if you're just looking for something to shoot targets with, this is pretty useful.
I'm 15 and bought this a while back. Many of my friends have pellet guns and we often go out and hunt birds, squirrels, rabbits, and other small game. One of my friends has a single shot, break-barrel pellet gun that I have used and hunted with many times, so I can compare them very well. First off, there is a problem with the logic of the Repeat Air that I have found out after hunting with both kinds of pellet guns. When buying this gun I thought, like many people, that if I miss, I still have 11 other rounds to shoot to kill [the bird]. Though in reality, what has happened is not that. If you get close enough to a bird with your shot, but miss, its most likely going to fly away (Even if you're the best shot in the world its impossible to hit a flying bird with this gun.) If your shot is far away, it usually doesn't fly away. So with a break barrel, you'd have time to reload and shoot again 90% of the time (This is from experience again, not assuming). There's more problems with this gun. The CO2 leaks out over time. So you can't go out one day, shoot 20 rounds, go home, and 2 days later shoot the rest. If you load in a CO2 cartridge you're going to have to shoot all 60 (or however many it says you can get out of one CO2 cartridge. You only get about 40 powerful shots and then it starts to decline.) But if you're just looking for a gun to go out, set up some cans and shoot, its perfect. You don't have to reload and don't have to worry about the lack of power. But if you like hunting, you're better off with a break-barrel.
The initial cost of $60 isn't so bad. But once you factor in the cost of CO2, it gets pricey after a while. Its around or a little below 700 FPS I believe, and for the cost of CO2 you might as well go with a 1200 FPS break-barrel because after about a year it'll be the same price as you would have spent in CO2, only a more powerful gun. So again, this gun is really useful if all you want to do is shoot at targets like cans. Don't have to reload and don't have to worry about the cans running away. But if you're into going out with friends and hunting birds, squirrels, and rabbits, its not the most efficient. I always found myself taking a shot with my friend's Crosman Phantom .177 Break Barrel Air Rifle. Yes, Crosman does make good quality Pellet Guns, though they went with the Cheap and Easy Sale route on this one. Consider what use you have of the pellet gun, and that'll help you make the decision on what kind to buy.
Works great.
I was very pleased with WalMart's handling of my Crosman CO2 rifle. It was easy keeping-up with my order and it arrived within the timeframe given. There was no damage to the package in transit and I am delighted at the performance of the Crosman 1077 Rifle. This is my second Crosman purchase but not thru WalMart and I highly recommend the Crosman 1077.
I've had mine for months now and I have to say WoW!! The most fun with a pellet gun! I read all the negative reviews. Mostly older men... That being said, loading the co2 seems to be the trick. Use a drop of PELLGUN oil on EVERY co2 cartridge or else you will damage it and lose your charge! Problem solved. It does take some common sense to load the co2, just try to be quick and minimize your loss. The open sights leave lots of room for improvement. I put a scope on mine and put all 12 shots inside a silver dollar at 20 yards. Power fades after 2 clips tho. All in all A+!! Good show Crosman!
Accurate enough. Love the clips. Also, I really like the metal frame.
Hard to find a more fun pellet gun for under seventy bucks. The 1077 is a small, light, fast firing gun. It'll get about 40 good shots from each co2 cartridge. Order 3 extra pellet clips, and you can keep shooting without pausing to refill the clips.
My 1077 was accurate right out of the box, with half inch groups at 25 feet. The trigger has a pretty long pull as it rotates the clip before firing. Be careful not to pull it halfway and the back off or you'll end up with two pellets in the barrel.
The heavier Crosman Premier Ultra Magnum .177 Caliber Pellets (10.5 grains) are more accurate in my 1077.
This is my third and least expensive pellet gun and far from the most accurate, but it's really a fun gun. I use this gun for target shooting and plinking, it's not really powerful enough for hunting.
Good Product.
I received my air rifle in a box that had no protection of any wrapping or protection from shipping. The rifle was in a empty box. The sight on the rifle was bent because of no protection. I will not order from Walmart again. Adrian
This is an awesome air rifle. I really like the pellet rotary clip, very smooth and no jamming. The rifle is light and it's easy to handle. It is also very accurate, if you like to see it shoot then check it out at my channel in YouTube, just search Amateur Air Gunner. You really can't go wrong with this rifle especially if you can find a deal on it. I mounted a scope on it and I can hit a golf tee at 30ft. you can see it at my channel if you want since I can't attach the video here.
We purchased this pellet rifle for our son and myself to do a little can plinking in the back yard. We're both avid hunters. We own several fire rifles and pistols and other air/nitro piston rifles, other bb/pellet pistols. This rifle is great, accurate, good power, about 25 quality shots from a C02 cartilage. From 50 foot shooting the Crosman wad-cutter pellets we get 1" to 1.5" groups. It is a little rough on the C02 but it beats pumping the daylights out of a gun every time you want to shoot it!
The repeater function is great! The ability to get off 12 shots without reloading is definitely a plus.
holds 12 rounds. wish it was a little more powerful, great for target shootn n the back yard. only includes 1 loader and one clip. Have fun!!
This gun is made well except for one or two things. The "Magazine" and speed Loaders are somewhat lightweight in their design and dont have the sturdy feel of the rest of the rifle. It would be great if it was still available with a wooden stock/body. After some fiddling with the adjustable rear sight the gun seems to shoot fairly accurately and I was able to shred a bullseye from about 35 feet away with about a 1 1/2" spread from the 12 shot mag, I like the "fiber optic" front sight. I am unable to comment on its accuracy from greater distances until I can get to a more open area to shoot. Trigger pull is not excessively hard and it can shoot all 12 pellets as quickly as you pull the trigger, buy more speed loaders for faster reloading/more enjoyment. After firing through 4 co2 cartridges, (at 80+ degrees) it averaged exactly what Crosman rates it at: 48 strong shots per co2, then drops to nearly zero power after that. I dont feel the velocity is quite as powerful as the rating of 625 FPS, (the soup can test only netted one side holed and slight dents to the far side) but have only tried 3 types of pellets so far, maybe with a lighter load it may shoot faster/harder. At the Walmart price this guns seems like a pretty good product and I would recommend it for back yard plinking/target shooting.
I have several Crosman air guns including pistols and rifles. The 1077 is well-made and accurate right out of the box. It looks and feels like a 22 caliber rifle (the design is based on the Ruger 10/22 semi auto). The rear sight is adjustable for windage and elevation, the receiver is grooved for a scope or red dot sight. The magazine holds a 12 shot clip and I was able to shoot 4 clips without any appreciable loss of power. Highly recommended for shooting tin cans and paper targets. Possible small pest control with the proper pellet.

Organizations that rely on trans-Atlantic data transfer are finally breathing a sigh of relief, now that the European Union and the United States have reached a new data transfer agreement, two days after the old agreement -- Safe Harbor, which was struck down in October -- expired. Yet some experts remain skeptical that even this new pact, which better protects European citizens' privacy, will survive the scrutiny of the European Court of Justice (ECJ).
Will the court ultimately destroy the new pact, dubbed "EU-US Privacy Shield," on the same basis that it struck down Safe Harbor? From DarkReading's recent story, "No Safe Harbor is Coming: CISA Made Sure of It":
In its judgment, the ECJ wrote that European Commission did not state in the Safe Harbor Agreement "that the United States in fact 'ensures' an adequate level of protection, by reason of its domestic law or its international commitments." Therefore, "without there being any need to examine the content of the safe harbour principles," the ECJ concluded that the agreement failed to comply with the requirements laid down by the EU Data Protection Directive "and that it is accordingly invalid."
In other words, the principles of safe harbor were irrelevant to the decision to striking down the agreement.
"What's important about this," [Danny O'Brien, international director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation] says, "is that without US legal reform, the Safe Harbor -- and all the other proposals to move personal data from the US to the EU -- fail."
Yet the officials who wrote this proposal think it will succeed. In the press conference announcing the agreement today, Vera Jourová, European Union Commissioner for Justice, Consumers, and Gender Equality, said the new agreement "lives up to the requirements of the ECJ."
Jourova stated that the agreement has established "clear safeguards" on US access to EU citizens' data, and that the US Office of the Director of National Intelligence will provide written assurance on them. "This is a unique step on the part of the US," Jourova said, "in order to restore trust in our trans-Atlantic relations."
Privacy Shield would also differ from Safe Harbor in that it would be a "living mechanism" instead of a one-time deal. The Commission and the US Department of Commerce will regularly monitor the functioning of this agreement, the Commission will provide an annual report on its status, and there will be "strong obligations on companies handling the data," said Jourova, and regular reviews by the Department of Commerce to make sure that those companies are meeting their obligations. If they aren't, they will be sanctioned or be removed from the list of entities that can transfer data.
They also established rules to give Europeans "accessible and affordable" mechanisms to issue complaints about US use of their personal data. Jourova also referenced the Judicial Redress bill that made it through committee level of the Senate Jan. 28. If passed into law, it would give European citizens the right to sue the US if law enforcement agencies misused their data.
The complete details of the agreement have not yet been released. Both countries will be formalizing their documents on the matter over the following weeks.
The big question will be, does it indeed live up to the European Court of Justice's requirements, or not?
"I think it's really hard to say until we see the actual text," says EFF's O'Brien. "I think the reason why we haven't seen a concrete agreement until now is because as soon as anyone gets down to the details, it becomes clear that it won't stand up to [Court of Justice of the European Union] scrutiny."
Response to Privacy Shield thus far has been a mix of relief and skepticism.
"While the creation of a new Safe Harbor agreement for EU-US data transfer may not please both sides entirely, it does enable US businesses to continue operations with European customers without incurring stiff penalties but also makes some important concessions for European data privacy," says Yorgen Edholm, CEO of cloud collaboration services firm Accellion. "That said, European attitudes toward data privacy have not changed and we suspect it will only be a matter of time before Safe Harbor 2.0 is challenged in court. Ultimately, the practice of trans-Atlantic data transfer will remain controversial as long as there remains a fundamental difference of opinion between the U.S. and the EU on what is more important: national security or data privacy. We don't believe Safe Harbor 2.0 will end this debate."
The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation applauded the agreement while criticizing the manner in which the EU axed Safe Harbor in the first place.
"Going forward, the United States and EU should make a number of much-needed privacy reforms to continue rebuilding trust and cooperation and ensure the world's most critical economic relationship continues to endure in the digital age," the ITIF stated in their release. "In the United States, this includes further surveillance reform and passing the Judicial Redress Act. In Europe, this means rejecting protectionist measures, such as a European Cloud, and fully embracing the spirit of a digital single market, not just in Europe, but globally.
"Both countries should also come together to work more closely on important issues such as promoting strong encryption and improving cyber security," the ITIF further stated. "And ultimately, the European Commission should reformulate its data protection regulations to replace the 'adequacy' standard with a 'duty-of-care' provision that requires companies doing business in Europe to be responsible for the actions of their agents and business partners, regardless of where they are located."
The Direct Marketing Association applauded the resolution, stating "DMA has been an ardent and early supporter of the EU-U.S. Safe Harbor framework, working with some of the original architects and industry officials in the U.S. and Europe to craft the DMA dispute resolution services. DMA will work with the U.S. Department of Commerce on the new provisions of the 'EU-U.S. Privacy Shield' and continue our nearly 15 years of successful dispute resolution services as we move forward under this new agreement. DMA urges its members to review the requirements of the new agreement as they are released in the upcoming weeks, and DMA will provide in-depth analysis and compliance guidance for our members and our participant companies in the near future."

The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?
Join Dark Reading senior editor Sara Peters and guests Angela Knox of Cloudmark, Barrett Sellers of Arbor Networks, Regina Wallace-Jones of Facebook, Steve Christey Coley of MITRE, and Chris Roosenraad of M3AAWG on Wednesday, July 13 at 1 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss all this and more.

The Mathematiciansby Arthur Feldman
Scott Meredith, born Arthur Scott Feldman (1923, New York City, NY - 1993, Manhasset, NY) was a prominent American literary agent, and founder of the Scott Meredith Literary Agency. His clients included famous and successful writers such as Richard S. Prather, Morris West, Norman Mailer, J.G. Ballard, Arthur C. Clarke, P.G. Wodehouse and Philip K. Dick. He wrote some short fiction himself as a young man. In 1946 he founded the Scott Meredith Literary Agency with his brother Sydney Meredith. Their first client was P.G. Wodehouse. During his career, he innovated many of the basic practices of his field. Such innovations included attention to foreign rights, tie-ins with movies, and auctioning rights to publishers. This is one of his stories.
Devil Worship in Franceby Arthur Edward Waite
The term Modern Satanism is not intended to signify the development of some new aspect of old doctrine concerning demonology, or some new argument for the personification of the evil principle in universal nature. It is intended to signify the alleged revival, or, at least, the reappearance to some extent in public, of a cultus diabolicus, or formal religion of the devil, the existence of which, in the middle ages, is registered by the known facts of the Black Sabbath, a department, however, of historical research, to which full justice yet remains to be done. By the hypothesis, such a religion may assume one of two forms; it may be a worship of the evil principle as such, namely, a conscious attempt on the part of human minds to identify themselves with that principle, or it may be the worship of a power which is regarded as evil by other religions, from which view the worshippers in question dissent. To students of occultism, transcendental magic, and mysticism as a branch of learning or investigation, cither as a believer or from a psychological point of view, this work is very valuable.

Hayley Okines - A Life to Celebrateby Hayley Okines
Hayley Okines was just like any other teenager: she loved clothes, shopping, and boy bands, and hated getting up in the morning. But she had progeria, which meant she aged eight times faster than normal, giving her the body of a 126-year-old. Her positive attitude and infectious smile charmed millions of people through her Extraordinary People TV documentaries. At the age of seventeen, in April 2015, Hayley tragically lost her battle to be the longest survivor of progeria, succumbing to pneumonia in the arms of her mother. This book tells Hayley's story in her own words, continuing from the bestselling Old Before My Time.

How to Live an Awesome Life: How to Live Well, Do Good, Be Happyby Polly Campbell
Awe. It is about wonder. About accessing the amazing to express reverence, admiration. Awe like this can show up in every aspect of our lives - even those we declare as not so great. When we can look at all aspects of our lives with this kind wonder and admiration, awe changes us. We are broken open by it. It forces us to rethink things. To tweak our behaviors and choices. To move toward things that matter. Psychologist Nicholas Humphrey says awe forces us to reconfigure our mental model so we can make sense of what we've seen and experienced. It broadens us, inspires us. Awe then, has the ability to awaken us. It can show us the beauty that already exists and remind us who we are at our spiritual core. It brings us closer to our purpose and passion and helps us create meaning. It helps us to live with the mystery in life, to survive the uncertainty of it all. It allows us to sink into the experience of living. To engage in it. To be touched by it. To participate rather than needing to manipulate, contrive, or control every moment, each experience. When you live in awe of your life you are open to diverse experiences. Some are easy peasy, comfortable and even joyous. Others totally suck. But you are okay because you know that within every experience the possibilities are limitless and experience is multi-dimensional. It is never just one thing. It is always more than bad or good. Polly Campbell designed this book to help you engage with the awesome qualities of your life. Do the exercises if you want - or not. Read this book chapter by chapter or go to the section that will help you most right now. Take what works, discard the rest. You will not be graded on how well you use this book. You won't be judged. Living an Awesome Life isn't about following a strict set of rules. It's about living from your essence and using all that to catapult you into your best life. What that life looks like is up to you. You are the creator of your moments. They are shaped by what you believe, what you notice, how you behave. You get to choose. No matter who you are, what you've done, where you've been, what you've experienced and borne, the very next moment can be awesome. Seriously. Sounds a little woo-woo, I know, but this is totally doable. When you discover the awe in the now, it transforms the next moment and makes it more possible, a bit easier to bear. A bit more awesome. When you string together a whole batch of little awesome moments, you can create a big, fat awesome life. Starting now. From right here

Over a period of ten years, Tony learned "The Information," a series of oral lessons comprising a body of deep teachings about the meaning of life, the history of mankind, and how to evolve and live a meaningful life filled with love, peace, and abundance. A core teaching was intention-setting, and Tony and two friends started a weekly circle to try it out. This first humble circle of three people had life-changing effects, resulting in Tony Burroughs's lifelong mission to guide others.

Dead White Guys: A Father, His Daughter and the Great Books of the Western Worldby Matt Burriesci
Dead White Guys is a timely defense of the great books, arriving in the middle of a national debate about the fate of these books in high schools and universities around the country. Burriesci shows how the great books can enrich our lives as individuals, as citizens, and in our careers. Extending the argument first made by Anna Quinndlen's on the act of reading itself, How Reading Changed My Life," ("It is like the rubbing of two sticks together to make a fire, the act of reading, an improbable pedestrian task that leads to heat and light,) Burriesci reminds us all of the enormous impact reading has on our lives. After his daughter was born prematurely in 2010, Burriesci set out to write a book about 26 Great Books, from Plato to Karl Marx, and how their lessons have applied to his life. As someone who has spent a long and successful career advocating for great literature, Burriesci defends the great books in this series of tender and candid letters, rich in personal experience and full of humor. Matt Burriesci is a national literary leader, serving as Executive Director of both PEN/Faulkner, which bestows the largest peer-juried prize for fiction

Be a Good in the World: 365 Days of Good Deeds, Inspired Ideas and Acts of Kindnessby Brenda Knight
In the hurly burly of this busy world, simple kindness and goodness can get left behind in the rush to be first in line, at the top of the corporate ladder and have the most "likes."

Author Brenda Knight, part of the team who made the world a better place with "Random Acts of Kindness" as well as a little more thankful with The Grateful Table," writes "At the end of life, I feel sure having lots of money, fancy cars and real estate is not nearly as important as how much love you gave to the world."

Imagine the Life You'd Love to Live, Then Live It: 52 Inspired Habits and Playful Promptsby Peg Conley Maggie Shannon
Peg Conley has been an artist all her life but, like many of us, took a long detour into the working world where she was a "corporate sales queen" in Seattle with a lot of success and a happy, busy family. Art became the thing she did on vacations, weekends and when she could carve time out of her busy life. Something gnawed at her, a nagging feeling that life might hold something else for her in the midst of it all. Then came the big "aha" moment--Peg heard a still small voice inside: "Imagine the life you want to live, then live it. It's that simple!" Her family encouraged Peg to pursue her passion. Despite a great deal of fear, Peg Conley did the thing she thought she could not do and dropped her big job, big house and big life and moved to San Francisco to start a business based on her artisan stationery. From a handful of handpainted cards, calendars and posters, her company Words & Watercolors was born and has been inspiring people, winning awards and raking in the sales ever since. Peg's intention with her work is to inspire and her art and writing all speak to life's great truths and those aha moments for which we all need reminders. What do you "imagine" your Ideal Life to be? It may take some time for it to unveil itself. You will need to have an idea of what it is you are looking to create. Spend some time in contemplation. For some that means a quiet meditation where images might come to you. For others, you might write about something you've always had a longing to create, or a dream that seemed far away and not attainable yet it doesn't go away. The dream nudges at you, asking you to pay attention. Where words work for some people, pictures work for others. You may want to create a vision board. Gather your old magazines and begin ripping out the pictures that appeal to you, or draw your own images. Your Ideal Life will come alive via the images that resonate with you. Don't hesitate to pick up a pen, pencil or crayons even and fill the blank pages with doodles of any kind. Do you still think of becoming a nurse? Don't be disheartened, go online and research classes you can take at your local college to start the process. As someone once said, if you don't start now, 5 years from now you still will be where you are but if you begin with baby steps, in 5 years you could be in a completely different place! So ask yourself the question: "What does the life I long to live look like?" Imagine it! Draw it, write it, collage it and just plain dream it. Believe you can have it and then go about creating it as you take daily steps towards becoming an enhanced version of yourself! All successful people are big dreamers. They imagine what their future could be, ideal in every respect, and then they work every day toward their distant vision, that goal or purpose.

Each chapter is followed by a summary of which concepts in the preceding chapter are also addressed in PMBOK 4 and therefore most likely to appear on the PMP exam - these summaries are good cheat sheets to use when reviewing for the PMP exam.
I bought the book to brush up on concepts I'd learned on the job over the years, and I am pleased with my purchase.
Recommended as a starting guide.
