Orphaned young and destined to work in the fields, Ernie Segovia overcame a host of early obstacles to become a prominent community activist and Roman Catholic reformer in San Jose's Latino community during the 1960s and 1970s.
"He was a man of peace," said Hermelinda Sapien, director of the Center for Employment and Training, a nonprofit training program where Segovia also counseled students on personal and professional matters. "But he was very firm in his values, especially when it came to defending the rights of workers and improving the lives of farmworkers and workers in general."
During his 43 years in San Jose with his late wife, Sara, Segovia worked primarily out of Our Lady of Guadalupe in the heart of the city's Mexican-American community. On Saturday, a special memorial celebration will be held at that parish, where Segovia served as a deacon. He died recently at age 83.
Chavez and Kennedy
Segovia was part of a local group of reform-minded Catholics, led by the Rev. Anthony Soto, who designed the new church — literally and figuratively — to serve the social, political, economic and religious needs of the people. The Church's liberal Second Vatican Council was in full swing, allowing lay people and nuns to set parish agendas and priorities and reach out beyond the pulpit.
"Listen, why should churches be built like warehouses?" he told San Jose State professor Susana L. Gallardo last year. "All you can see is the back of people, the priest."
The group designed the church with circular seating and built it almost entirely with volunteer labor and donations. It soon hosted a variety of community and labor meetings. Farmworker leader Cesar Chavez recruited there and Robert F. Kennedy visited during his presidential quest.
The building, Segovia said, "had to be more important and used for many more things than only on Sundays for one hour."
Segovia was appointed a deacon by the Archdiocese of San Francisco in 1978. One of the cornerstones of his ministry was the belief that Latinos and other minorities should be free to worship in their own languages and cultures.
"The people who teach religion in the churches … most know very little about our culture," said Segovia. "We need to deal with our own needs, in our own language, in our own traditions, in our own way."
Voracious reader
Ernesto Segovia was born in 1929 in the small town of La Union, N.M. Orphaned at age 8, he was raised by older brothers and sisters and migrated from farm to farm from the Mexican state of Chihuahua to California's Central Valley, eventually settling in Hollister. That's where he met Sara Gonzales, whom he married in 1951. He later worked as a candy maker and janitor.
After being appointed a deacon, Segovia threw himself into union organizing, strove to improve the impoverished Sal Si Puedes neighborhood, protested against the war in Vietnam and participated in several Catholic discussion and planning groups. Although he had little formal education, Segovia read voraciously and conversed as easily with bishops and theologians as he did with farmworkers.
Before retiring to Tuolumne County, Gallardo said, Segovia had baptized hundreds of children in churches, in homes, on the banks of rivers and creeks and in the backs of cars.
"We're not there to preach religion," he told Gallardo. "The community's enough, to get together and share, be concerned for each other, listen to each other, and go on, celebrate, break bread and all that. Just like they used to do in the beginning, with Jesus, see?"
Segovia was buried in Hollister. Relatives and friends will gather to remember him at 10 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 15, at Our Lady of Guadalupe, the church he helped to build.

Real Madrid to face Manchester United at The Big House
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) The Aug. 2 preseason exhibition between Manchester United and Real Madrid will be played at Michigan Stadium.
The match was announced Feb. 20, and the venue was finalized Friday. It will be played near the Detroit headquarters of General Motors Co., whose Chevrolet division takes over United's shirt sponsorship next season in a $559 million, seven-year deal.
Manchester United's U.S. tour also includes games against Roma at Denver's Sports Authority Field on July 26, and Inter Milan on July 29 at FedEx Field in Landover, Md.
Real plays Inter Milan at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., on July 26 and Roma at Dallas' Cotton Bowl on July 29. The matches are part of a preseason tournament called the International Champions Cup, and the final is Aug. 4 at Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla.
It will be the Big House's second major non-college football event this year. The stadium was also the site of the NHL's Winter Classic on Jan. 1.
Michigan's football team has played 251 consecutive home games in front of crowds in excess of 100,000, dating to 1975.

We have created Debian packages for multiple Python versions. This means that they work now with both Python 2.6 and 2.7 out of the box, or if you compile them manually, with any (supported) version you have installed on your (Debian-based) system.
Practically, this means that now you can install them without manual compiling on current Debian and Ubuntu systems. Give it a try, add our Debian package repository, apt-get install python-orange for Orange library/modules and/or orange-canvas for GUI. If you install the later package, type orange in the terminal and Orange canvas will pop-up.

In the 'Krump World' there are many crews (not gangs) called 'fams'. A 'fam' is a form of family who respect your style of krump. My body of work is an exploration of the art and culture of krumping. In this contemporary style of dance, opponents 'battle' without physical contact. I was inspired by a documentary about krumping called RIZE It shows krump's religious slant on the streets. 'Krump' stands for 'Kingdom, Rise, Uplifting, Mighty, Praise'. I have used a current and immediate part of my world and youth culture as a concept linking with the growing impact of the digital, postmodern age.

Skaters at Evergreen Lake on Jan. 11 were treated to car races on the ice — radio-controlled cars, that is.
The small race course was in a corner of the rink, and skaters came by to watch as the cars, 14 inches long by 8 inches wide, moved deftly around hairpin turns and through straightaways. Think video games, only much more real and out of doors.
Clues and questions in hand, groups of youngsters spent time recently roaming through Evergreen in search of sculptures in a scavenger hunt sponsored by Sculpture Evergreen.
While looking in various places, the youngsters discovered three-dimensional creations that appealed to them and were fun to see.
While on the ice at Evergreen Lake on New Year's Eve, Arvada resident Guy Kennedy and his wife, Kim, got a big surprise. Friends and former teammates who are members of the Dawg Nation Hockey Foundation presented the couple with a $10,140 check to assist with a health crisis in their family.

Getting a big welcome home to Evergreen after serving in the U.S. Army in Afghanistan can be a little overwhelming — but in a good way.
At least that's what U.S. Army Specialist Michael Berna felt after being greeted by a crowd of well-wishers at Buchanan Recreation Center on Saturday to thank him for his service. He spent nine months at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan, returning home to Evergreen late last week for a holiday break after a couple of weeks at a military base in Kentucky.
Evergreen High School's theater production of "Emotional Creature" can be described as empowering, disturbing, powerful and contemporary.
It certainly isn't the typical show that Evergreen High's advanced theater students perform.
Children and their families eager to have breakfast with Santa and Mrs. Claus filled the Evergreen Lake House on Saturday morning.
"We served 325 breakfasts," said Joyce Masyga of the Evergreen Downtown Business Association, which sponsors the annual event.
Because so many people wanted to attend this year's breakfast, an extra seating was added to accommodate them. The timing of the event on the Thanksgiving holiday weekend adds to its popularity, Masyga said.
By Gabrielle Porter, for the Courier
Judy Berna's original idea for welcoming her son home from Afghanistan was not elaborate.
The Evergreen resident drove past the "Welcome to Evergreen" sign near Walmart about six months ago, and noticed it had been decorated with flags. Her son, 21-year-old Army Specialist Michael Berna, deployed Feb. 1 to Afghanistan with Apache Troop 1-75 Cavalry of the 101st Airborne Division.
Father Christmas would have been pleased when more than 200 guests gathered at the Evergreen Lake House on Saturday evening for the 14th annual Wine Tasting and Festival of Trees.
Presented by the Conifer Area Chamber of Commerce, the event brought together local businesses, Colorado wineries and chamber supporters for a night of mostly giving and, for some lucky silent-auction bidders, a night of receiving.
You can wear your pajamas to the special Polar Express-theme train ride, as well as visit with Santa.
Evergreen resident Rick Bernstein has put together a 75-minute production and train ride to the "North Pole." It includes flying reindeer and dancing waiters at the Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden.
"We have reindeer that look like elk, and (Evergreen) has elk that look like reindeer," Bernstein joked when asked about the production.

Is 2011 Finally the Actual Year of Mobile Malware?
"This year will be the year of mobile malware" has been such a staple of new years predictions that it has turned into a running joke. But thanks to the design of Android and its markets, and some innovative malware designers, we seem to be there. Android malware has moved well beyond the proof of concept stage.
A Symantec blog describes how Android crimeware developers are getting clever in their design of installers. The main trick of the trade is to divide the installation up in to multiple stages.
It's already not uncommon to find hacked versions of legitimate Android apps around, even in the real Google Android Market. Typically these apps have an advertising module and the hacked version changes the URL of it to one the attacker controls. This ad site is used to deliver the payload.
But that payload may not be the end of the story. When you install a program in Android it asks the user to approve permissions on it. Most users probably quickly reach the point of ignoring these boring details, but for those who are more fastidious Symantec has identified malware which breaks the payload into further stages.
One problem with this approach is that it would normally require the user to accept the installation of any download and this is likely to catch the user's attention at some point. But Symantec found an attack which works its way around this. As seen in this series of screen captures:
Android.Jsmshider is digitally signed with an Android Open Source Project certificate, leading the system to accept the payload as a system update.
Other mobile platforms don't seem to be as amenable to malware as Android. This includes the iPhone/iPad, at least when they are not jailbroken. But the market volume leader is Android and, as in other markets, that's where malware authors go. Mobile malware has arrived.

Transportation (local)
GETTING AROUND - Local Transportation
Just got here?
Within 60 days of arrival, you must apply for a Virginia driver's license, and within 30 days obtain state registration for your vehicle through the DMV (804-497-7100) at 2055 Abbey Road (near the Giant grocery on Pantops). Immediately after registering your vehicle in Virginia, you must obtain a state safety inspection from any private garage offering the regulated service—it always costs $16 for cars and $12 for motorcycles– unless there's something wrong, and then you have to pay for repairs.
Road rules- local licensing
You must register your car in the locality in which you reside, and a personal property tax is due twice per year, in June and December.
Virginia's sometimes wacky rules of the road
Here are some state laws you may or may not have heard of:
Keep frontin': Virginia automobiles must have both front and rear license plates.
No radar love: Unlike the other 49 states, Virginia bans the use of radar detectors.
Don't pimp my ride: Tinting your windows too dark is strictly forbidden, as are neon lights and undercarriage glow.
Yak attack: Unlike many other states, Virginia has not outlawed dialing while driving— unless you're under 18 or a school bus driver. However...
No texting: Since 2009 texting while driving has been illegal.
Walk this way: Pedestrians at intersections— even lollygagging UVA students— always have the right-of-way.
Light rain: If your windshield wipers are on, your lights must be on.
I can't drive 80: As of July 1, 2012, Virginia raised the speed limit to 70mph on a large number of highways, but beware, driving over 80mph will earn you hefty fines under the theory of "reckless driving."
Embarrassed kids: All children under age eight— that's right, eight— must be properly secured in a child safety seat or booster seat.
Footloose: Virginia drivers must always have their shoes on while driving.
DUI Crackdown: Since July 1, 2012, a single DUI conviction means you'll have to have an "ignition interlock device" installed in your vehicle, which is a breathalyzer you have to blow clean through (less than 0.8) to start your car.
We have two separate bus systems: one run by UVA and one by City Hall:
UTS - From the North Grounds to Fontaine and as far east as Washington Park, this University-run service has every-ten-minutes passes on some busy routes and offers free rides to students and locals alike. 924-7711
CAT - The city's bus service has 15 routes and welcomes bicycle riders by offering bike racks on all buses. Regular fare is 75 cents for a one-way trip (children 5 and under ride free), but you can buy a monthly pass for $20 or an unlimited-use Day Pass for $1.50, which can be purchased on any CAT bus when boarding. Reduced fares for seniors citizens (65 and older) and the disabled are available with a CAT Reduced Fare Card (application available at the Downtown Transit Station on E. Water Street). UVA student, faculty, and staff IDs are accepted as fare on CAT buses. Youths 6 to 18 years old ride free during the summer with a special CAT Summer Youth Ride FREE ID card. In addition to the summer program, CAT offers a year-round free ride program for Charlottesville High School students. 970-3649.
Freebie: The best central city free ride is the CTS free trolley which looks like a San Francisco cable car but travels on rubber tires between the Corner, UVA grounds, and downtown every 15 minutes from 6:40am until 11:30pm Monday-Saturday. On Sunday, the trolley runs every 30 minutes in the morning and every 45 minutes in the afternoon from 8am until 5pm.
–->For inter-city bus transportation– Greyhound/Starlight Express, as well as trains and planes– we have more information on our travel page.
Bike routes
Charlottesville and Albemarle have made strides in increasing the number of bike routes in recent years, and bikers can check out the city's website for some tips on bike safety as well as bicycle friendly trails. There are also several biking groups and shops in the area for cycling fans. In Virginia, bicycles must follow the same laws as motor vehicles, including riding on the right side of the street, obeying all traffic signs and signals, yielding to pedestrians, and using signals for turning and stopping. At night, bicycles must have a white front light visible for 500 feet and either a red rear-reflector visible for at least 600 feet or a red taillight visible for 500 feet.
Other bike rules: Riding a bike on the Downtown Mall is punishable by a fine (skateboards are out, too). And riding on the handlebars of a bike is a no-go anywhere. And since 2011, in the city, any kid age 14 or younger on a street, sidewalk, or bicycle path must wear a helmet when riding a bicycle, scooter, or even a "toy vehicle."
Community bikes
The city has a "community bike" shop that teaches patrons how to repair, build, and maintain bikes that they can keep. Charlottesville Community Bikes aims to promote environmentally friendly transportation and accepts donations of tools, bicycles, and parts.
Where the bleep am I?
Thanks to the area's long history, many roads have different names along a single path, usually changing as a city street moves into the county and becomes a road. Here's a handy tip-sheet. Confused? Here's a road primer:
Emmet Street=Seminole Trail=U.S. 29
Ivy Road=University Avenue=Main Street=Downtown Mall
Avon Street=9th Street
Park Street=Rio Road (pronounced "RYE-oh")=Hydraulic Road
Garth Road=Barracks Road=Preston Avenue=Market Street
Fifth Street=Ridge Street=McIntire Road=John Warner Parkway (eventually)
Roads get busy around here during traditional rush hours– not to mention around noontimes when roads clog pretty heavily. Companies that engage in RideShare programs like car pools and van pools can get juicy tax deductions. 295-6165
Average commute time: 15.5 minutes city and 21.8 minutes county (national average is 26)
Working at home: 5.9% city and 7.3% county (national average is just 3.3%)
Park with a permit: To save room for residents, some neighborhoods near UVA and downtown require $25 per year parking permits. You'll know because you'll see the street signs. The permits, which expire each August 31, are available through the City Treasurer's Office. 970-3146

Have fun with these parallelogram shaped tangram puzzles. Print on white or colored cardstock or heavy duty paper. Use markers or crayons to color the tans (pieces), then cut out the tans with sharp scissors.
Tangrams are fun geometrically based puzzles that help introduce math concepts and spark imagination in an entertaining manner. Enjoy discovering how many different shapes and designs you can make by rotating and assembling the tangram puzzle pieces.
Tangram felt-board games: Make several kid sized felt-boards with 12" x 12" squares of cardboard covered with dark-colored felt fabric. Hint, old LP covers are about the right size and work great! Trace the tangram designs onto brightly colored felt or foam sheets, cut the tans out of the tangram, and make fun traveling games for children.
Provide pencils and pads of plain paper so children can keep a diary and re-draw and record the different shapes. I have purposely not included solutions for most of the tangrams to encourage creativity.

England's are yet to beat Australia since arriving Down Under and after their 5-0 Ashes whitewash, they were again easily cast aside in the first of five one-day internationals in Melbourne by six wickets.
Maxwell believes England looked "drained" during the match, most noticeably when some sloppy fielding cost them dear as they tried to defend 269 for seven.
A record 163-run opening stand between Aaron Finch and David Warner - who both survived dropped chances before they reach 10 - set Australia on their way to win with 26 balls in hand.
Maxwell wants to ensure there is no respite for the beleaguered tourists, adding that he loved inflicting pain on the old enemy.
"I think we can (win 5-0)," he said.
"The way the side is at the moment, and the confidence around the group, and the England team yesterday looked a little bit drained, a bit tired - I think they're still carrying effects from the Ashes.
"Hopefully we can keep the foot on the throat and make it 10-0.
"Definitely with their fielding, when Finchy and Warner took off, it was a bit like, 'Here we go again' for them.
"Hopefully that continues - I love beating England and I'm sure everyone else does in Australia."
Maxwell did have some sympathy for Alastair Cook's side after they were contentiously denied the wicket of David Warner when Jos Buttler claimed a catch behind when he was on 22.
Warner accepted Buttler's assessment and began to walk off before the standing umpires called for a television review.
The TV pictures revealed some uncertainty, as so often happens in low catches, and third umpire Kumar Dharmasena called Warner back after he had made his way to just inside the boundary's edge.
England skipper Alastair Cook was sure afterwards that the wrong decision had been made, and Maxwell agreed.
"I think Davey was pretty convinced he was out," he said.
"I think there's a little bit of a grey area there. If you take the fielder's word, and the batter is happy to go, I think it should be left (to the players).
"If the batter wants to stay, I think that's when it should go (to the third umpire). Davey was quite happy to walk off, and happy it was caught.
"It looked like it was probably out to me as well."

In our house growing up, we used the F word alot.
Yea, it's the one you're thinking of. Feminist.
As much as it was back then, feminist is still a loaded word. So loaded this fantastic blog by and for teen feminists is called The F-bomb. So loaded, many people will start statements with qualifiers that go something like "I wouldn't call myself a feminist, but..." and then go on to say something seriously, like, feminist. The word is still so loaded there is actually something called "feminist coming out day" with pictures whose caption is "this is what a feminist looks like."
My mother was a feminist mom when being a feminist mom of color was a rare and wonderful thing. At a time when her consciousness raising group of fellow feminist graduate students actually suggested that perhaps she, an immigrant woman (and the only woman of color in the group) had perhaps been coerced into having a child. After all, being a mom was volunteering a form of indentured servitude, wasn't it? (And my mom had been married at sixteen in an "arranged marriage", hadn't she?) In their eyes, feminist motherhood was a sort of oxymoron. And a feminist immigrant mom? Unthinkable.
My mother didn't buy into that crap. With her gracious smile and lyrical voice, I'm sure she read those colleagues the riot act. And then probably made me some scrumptious Indian dinner and read me a feminist fairy tale to boot.
I grew up alongside my mother's own feminist consciousness. Eventually, she began critiquing mainstream feminist movements for their inability to examine their own race, class, and national politics. To her, this was part of the reason that mainstream feminist was so fraught over motherhood. Women around the world had balanced parenting with politics throughout the ages, my mother argued, for U.S. feminists to think otherwise was simply a form of solipsistic me-feminism - a myopic progressive politics unable to raise a next generation of activists.
My mother began organizing in the South Asian immigrant community. By the time she founded MANAVI, the first South Asian anti-domestic violence organization in the U.S., I was old enough to stuff envelopes and help sell samosas at a fundraising drive. (Yes, really, we sold samosas at our first fundraising drive.) And don't think it was just me doing that envelope stuffing on our kitchen floor, the MANAVI logo and symbol were both drawn by my father - a fabulous feminist parent in his own right.
When my mom became a national leader in anti-domestic violence work, an expert in international domestic violence law, it's not as if she ever stopped functioning as a loving and wonderful mother (and now grandmother). She simply let me grow up watching and participating in her own political growth.
My mother has shown me consistently, in word and action, that parenting and politics are not separate ways of being, but must coexist. That raising socially aware, passionate, and just children is a critical feminist act.
She's also taught me that social justice politics are not simplistic, as neither are our personal identities. All are complex and fluid and sometimes, even seemingly contradictory. Samosas are sometimes sold at protest rallies, family obligations are a part of our feminist commitments, and ferocious political critique can come through the gentlest lullabies.

|Mexican Army deploys troops to 13 troubled Mexican states
For a map, click here
By Chris Covert
The Mexican Army is deploying 14,000 effectives to 13 Mexican states it considers hot spots in the drug war, according to Mexican news accounts.
A brief item posted on the website of Reforma news daily Saturday morning said the 13 states receiving deployments include Mexico state, Coahuila, Durango, Nuevo Leon, Tamaulipas, Veracruz, Tabasco, Chiapas, Oaxaca, Guerrero, Morelos, Aguascalientes and Zacatecas.
It is worth noting that most of the states are entities used by Los Zetas to bring product, migrants and shooters from central America to the northern border. Notably missing from the list are three of the six northern tier Mexican states, Baja California, Chihuahua and Sonora, all of which have experienced some decline in drug related violence in the past year.
However of those three, Chihuahua has experienced a spike in drug and gang related violence since the start of the year.
Notably absent from the list are states which have also experienced an increase in violence, namely Sinaloa, Jalisco and Michoacan states. Those states have received security reinforcements since the start of the year in the form of Policia Federal units, which now operate under the auspices of the Mexican Secretaria de Gobierno (SEGOB) or interior ministry.
The Mexican national government has shifted the focus of its counternarcotics strategy away from one of confrontation with the several drug gangs currently operating in Mexico using Mexican military forces and by using Policia Federal more to quell violence from drug gangs.
One of the stated goals of Mexican president Enrique Pena Nieto in the new strategy is to eventually return military forces to the barracks. The strategy is already in motion, according to a statement released by the Mexican Secretaria de Marina (SEMAR), or Mexican Navy. Last week Admiral Vidal Francisco Soberon Sanz noted in an Organizacion Editorial Mexicano news report that military troops are slowly being removed from the streets to allow Mexico's police to handle counternarcotics operations.
Another element of the new strategy is to divide Mexican into five geographical regions overseen by representatives of the local Mexican Army, Naval infantry, interior ministry and Procuraduria General de la Republica (PGR) or national attorney general. The idea is to make states more responsible for their security, to combine state resources and general knowledge of their regions and to allow close monitoring of police forces by the federal government. With the representatives of those institutions, several states within the zones are to appoint representatives within 30 days of the law's publication. The law that instituted the five zones was passed December 17th, 2012. Implicit in the law are required regular meetings of the five security zones.
Among the purposes is to provide a means of training and testing local municipal police, and to have that training standardized. Another purpose is to provide a career track for local police for as long as 20 years.
Some of the meetings have already taken place. For example, the latest meeting of the some of the governors of the northwest zone, held at an aircraft hangar at the airport in Chihuahua Friday afternoon demonstrated Pena's strategy as well as his attitude towards politicians of the Mexican state governments.
Procuraduria General la Republica (PGR) or attorney general, Jesus Murillo Karam, Secretaria de Defensa Nacional (SEDENA) General Cepeda Salvador Cienfuegos, SEMAR Admiral Vidal Francisco Soberon Sanz and undersecretary of the interior for security Manuel Mondragon y Kalb were in attendance from the federal government.
Sinaloa Governor Mario Lopez Valdez, Baja California Governor Jose Osuna Millan, Baja California Sur Governor Marcos Covarrubias and Sonora Governor Guillermo Padres also attended, as well as Chihuahua Governor Javier Durate and his Fiscalia General del Estado (FGE) or state attorney general, Carlos Manuel Salas.
According to an opinion piece posted in El Heraldo de Chihuahua news daily Saturday morning, among the first acts at the meeting of the federal government was for cellular telephone batteries of the participating governors and their staffs to be seized by federal government staff before the meeting, much to their apparent surprise and dismay.
Perhaps more stark was the statement of SEGOB Miguel Angel Osorio Chong that the days of political flexibility of state governors allowed by the previous two PAN presidents, Vicente Fox and Feipe Calderon were gone and that security in the states was now the responsibility of the SEGOB and the president.
One possible interpretation to SEGOB's statement is that in previous federal governments state governments were allowed flexibility in their security spending, within the parameters set by the Chamber of Deputies. A good example would be two years ago when the Mexican Army was expanded by 18 battalions. State governments were allowed to donate land for the construction of new bases to house the new units, and provide smaller amounts from their budgets for construction.
Now the relationship has changed. One indication of how SEGOB will determine that change is that state governments are probably going to be asked to provide much more of their own budgets for federal government requirements in security.
According to a news report on El Diario de Coahuila news daily website more recently, Coahuila governor Ruben Moreira Valdes announced Friday that 150 more police vehicles are to be purchased and deployed, including 16 patrol cars and 34 pickup trucks. This time half of the MX $68 million cost being borne by Coahuila state. The 50 vehicles are to be "distributed" to the five municipalities of the troubled La Laguna region.
Governor Moreira has been under intense political pressure due to the increased violence in La Laguna and from the notion that his state has ignored the region.
Coahuila is currently faced with an austerity program initiated by the PRI-dominated state legislature after it was discovered that Coahuila had acquired over the course of three years the heaviest per capita debt in Mexico. The pressure mounted by criminal gangs in Torreon, which has virtually closed down the nightlife in there, coupled with a tight budget is creating obvious problems for security in the Coahuila side of La Laguna, even as the Mexican federal government has decided to deploy troops to affected areas.
By contrast, in Zacatecas state, according to a news item posted on the website of El Sol de Zacatecas news daily, the state had already received some of its security allocation in the form of weapons, uniforms and equipment for police totalling MX $5 million. Another MX $18 million has been given for a new police training program, and MX $14.6 million for other security purposes.
According to the article, Zacatecas state Secretaria de Seguridad Publica (SSP) Jesus Ortiz Pinto, the Policia Estatal Preventiva (PEP) have expanded their number by 300 percent, although the article does not state the time frame.

The use of property valuation is an essential aspect of the property lifecycle and directly influences financial decision making that is why encouraging the consideration of energy efficiency and renewable energy needs to start here. Being able to demonstrate the business case to prospective buyers, sellers, lenders and investors is prerequisite to accelerating the market transition towards Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (NZEBs).
Yet the ability to demonstrate this business case for sustainable buildings is exactly what is missing at present: many valuation professionals lack both the skills and the knowledge to consistently take energy efficiency and renewable energy issues into account when advising their clients. This course aims to fill this knowledge and skills gap by developing training material for practising valuation professionals on how to factor energy efficiency and renewable energy issues into valuation practices and how to advise their clients accordingly
This development is part of our commitment package we made at COP21 in Paris where we promised to develop RenoValue, our sustainability valuation training programme, for a worldwide audience.

PRESS RELEASE: Florida Board of Governors seeking applicants for Board of Trustees of new institution in State University System: Florida Polytechnic University *Extended to Monday, June 4, at 4 p.m*
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE—May 1, 2012
TALLHASSEE, Fla.—The Board of Governors of the State University System of Florida has opened the application process for appointees who will be members of the charter Board of Trustees for Florida Polytechnic University in Lakeland.
This is a national search, and applicants, by law, do not need to live within close proximity of a Florida public university to serve as a member of any Board of Trustees. The deadline for applications is May 31 at 5 p.m.
Gov. Rick Scott on April 20 signed legislation that immediately created Florida Polytechnic University as a new institution in the State University System of Florida. The legislation includes certain benchmarks to be achieved by Dec. 31, 2016. These benchmarks in the signed legislation initially were created by the Board of Governors in November 2011 after months of discussion, several meetings, and without a specific deadline (http://www.flbog.edu/pressroom/news.php?id=421):
- achieve accreditation from the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
- initiate the development of the new programs in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics;
- seek discipline-specific accreditation for programs;
- attain a minimum FTE (student headcount or full-time equivalent enrollment) of 1,244, with a minimum 50 percent of that FTE in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, and 20 percent in programs related to those fields;
- complete facilities and infrastructure, including the Science and Technology Building, Phase I of the Wellness Center, and a residence hall or halls containing no fewer than 190 beds; and
- have the ability to provide, either directly or where feasible through a shared services model, administration of financial aid, admissions, student support, information technology, and finance and accounting with an internal audit function.
"These charter members have a rare opportunity and unique responsibility to work with the Board of Governors in creating a state university designed to approach higher education from a new perspective and the 'polytechnic' model successful in other states," said Chair Mori Hosseini of Daytona Beach, who is Vice Chair of the Board of Governors, and Chair of the Trustee Nominating and Development Committee, which oversees the trustee selection process. "We therefore issue a challenge to our country's finest leaders who can best support and help realize that vital goal."
Chair Hosseini's committee selects, evaluates, vets and nominates finalists to the Board of Governors for full panel approval. All applicants are subject to a background check, which is standard practice. Once appointed, Board of Trustees members serve until the Florida Senate's confirmation process during the next available Regular Session of the Legislature.
"There are very complex and very real challenges for these charter members as they set a vision and the strategy to 'break the mold,' meet the benchmarks and open the doors," remarked Board of Governors Chair Dean Colson of Miami. "Yet there is also a remarkable opportunity for unprecedented achievements – the national recognition for this institution may well spawn new ideas for the delivery of public higher education."
State University System Chancellor Frank Brogan – while not directly involved in selecting appointees – said this marks a milestone in the System's history: "Imagine an institution dedicated to delivering curricula in a technology-rich environment with robust on-line and on-campus offerings, led by innovative faculty. These students, if the conceptual plans are achieved, will be capable of out-competing students from other states and other countries."
Each institution in the State University System has a 13-member Board of Trustees responsible for cost-effective policy, and for implementing and maintaining high-quality education programs consistent with the university's mission. The Boards of Trustees also are responsible to meet state policy, budgeting and education standards.
The Governor appoints six members to each Board of Trustees, and the Board of Governors appoints five members. The leader of the Faculty Senate serves, as well as the Student Body President of the university.
Individuals interested in this public service must have the application at the Board of Governors' office in Tallahassee by May 31 at 5 p.m. All information is posted at www.flbog.edu/aboutsus/ubt.php.
These appointments made by the Florida Board of Governors are separate from appointments that are made by the Governor of Florida.
For more about the Board of Governors, see www.flbog.edu.
Facts about the State University System of Florida and the Florida Board of Governors
The State University System of Florida is governed by a 17-member Board of Governors, a constitutional body and led by appointed public servants. The System has a total enrollment of nearly 330,000 students, making it the second-largest public university system in the nation in terms of enrollment (some states have more than one university system). The Florida Constitution (Article IX, Section 7) was amended by the state's voters in 2002 to establish a statewide system of governance for all Florida public universities. As a result, the Florida Board of Governors was created in 2003 to oversee the State University System of Florida. Responsibilities include defining the distinctive mission of each institution and ensuring the well-planned coordination and operation of the System. The Board's 17 members include 14 appointed by the Governor, with three serving by virtue of their designations (a faculty member, a Florida Student Association student representative, and the Florida Commissioner of Education). The Board of Governors appoints a Chancellor who serves as the chief executive and administrative officer of the State University System. For more, including the Board's Annual Report that reflects accountability measurements and benchmarks occurring at each institution, see www.flbog.edu.

March 9, 2009
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – MIT head coach Dawn Gerken was recently named New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Men's Swimming and Diving Coach of the Year following the Engineers' impressive victory at the league championships last week. Gerken's honor completes a near-sweep of the conference's major awards for MIT. Following the three-day competition, junior Rastislav Racz was named Swimmer of the Year and Tim Stumbaugh was tabbed Rookie of the Year.
Gerken led the Engineers to a No. 11 national ranking, their first undefeated season, and a record-setting point total at the 2009 NEWMAC Championships. Her selection as the league's top coach is the first for MIT since Joe Kurtz captured the honor in 2003. Currently in her seventh season at MIT, Gerken was also named NEWMAC Women's Swimming Coach of the Year in 2006.
Gerken, who has guided MIT to 38 All-American honors, is hoping to add to that total as the Engineers prepare for the upcoming NCAA Division III Championships.

Winter Rainbows Arc Across Texas
Annual Rainbow Trout Stockings Begin Dec. 3
AUSTIN, Texas — For an inexpensive, entry-level fishing experience the entire family can enjoy, it doesn't get much easier than winter rainbow trout fishing in Texas.
Beginning Dec. 3 and continuing until mid-March, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department will stock upwards of 260,000 hatchery-reared rainbow trout at 119 sites across the state. Many of the fish stockings will be conducted at small community fishing lakes, state park lakes and popular river tailraces offering easy angling access.
TPWD has been stocking rainbow trout each winter since the 1970s, providing Texans a simple and economical opportunity to go fishing.
Catching these hungry fish can be easy, making the experience ideal for both novice anglers and kids. The fish will bite almost immediately after stocking and typically will take a variety of baits, from whole kernel canned corn or commercial soft bait to artificial flies and even small spinner baits.
Fishing gear can be as basic as an inexpensive spincast rod and reel combo, a small plastic bobber, a fishing weight and a hook. It's also a good idea to carry along a pair of needle-nosed pliers to help remove hooks, and a five gallon bucket, small ice chest or a fish stringer to keep your catch. Be sure to keep freshly caught trout cold on ice or refrigerated.
The complete is on the TPWD Web site. Here anglers can find stocking locations, stocking dates and driving directions to each site. Many locations offer special events for youth prior to allowing the public to fish. Check with local parks and recreation departments or water authorities for additional information. Most sites get an annual dose of more than 1,000 trout.
Among the winter trout stocking sites are 13 locations in city suburbs across the state. These spots get trout stocked every two weeks in the winter, but catfish are also stocked there in the summer, making them year-round family fishing destinations. Details are on the Neighborhood Fishin' Web page, which lists the urban area, lake or pond, driving directions, and a TPWD name and contact phone number for each site. Money donated to TPWD from the Toyota Texas Bass Classic is being used to support Neighborhood Fishin'.
Other popular fishing holes like the Guadalupe River below the Canyon Reservoir Dam, which includes the tailrace, also receive multiple stockings from December into March. As the only fishable place in Texas where rainbow trout can survive during the summer months, the Guadalupe River will get almost 17,000 trout stocked this winter.
One public access point along the Guadalupe River has been leased by TPWD specifically for trout fishing, Camp Hueco Springs. A map and directions to this site are on the TPWD Web site.
Anglers should note there are special harvest restrictions in place along a 10-mile stretch of the Guadalupe River below the tailrace. In this area, anglers may retain only one trout per day, which must be at least 18-inches in length, and any trout harvested must be caught on artificial lures.
For additional details about the special harvest regulations and the location of that river stretch, please consult the TPWD Outdoor Annual. The special regulations zone does not include the area immediately below Canyon Lake Dam. There, as in other Texas waters, the daily bag limit is five trout and there is no minimum length.
A valid Texas freshwater fishing package is required to fish for trout. Youth ages 16 and younger and all anglers fishing from the bank in state parks are exempt from the fishing package requirement.

As he slumbered away in Costa Mesa, Calif., the 29-year-old banker's virtual space fleet was under siege early Monday morning in what's become the most destructive and expensive battle in the 10-year history of "EVE Online," the gargantuan online sci-fi video game.
"EVE Online" — with more than 500,000 players from around the world piloting starships, trading goods and engaging in galactic espionage — utilizes its own in-game currency, and Carl expects the damage from Monday's conflict to be the game equivalent of about $300,000 in real-world cash, based on data compiled from within the game.
That is bad ass. Some of these players fly ships worth $3,000, and over a hundred have been blown up in the last day.

Best Dressed at Chanel's Little Black Jacket Exhibit in London
This Week's Best Dressed
This Week's Best Dressed
Fashion Month may be over, but that doesn't mean there's any rest for the style set. In fact, the week was so filled with parties that it led some to comment that their calendars were just as jam-packed now as they had been a few weeks ago in Milan.
In New York alone, there were multiple events that kept the crowd hopping up and down and all around town — and with each came ample opportunity for chicness. At Maje's Fall 2012 campaign party, host and campaign star Alexa Chung looked vibrant as she held court in a ruffled red top; DJ Alix Brown's electric blue jacket with leather sleeves was equally striking. Earlier that evening at the Vogue: The Editor's Eye book launch at Barneys — hosted by Hamish Bowles and Tonne Goodman — Carolyn Murphy, Erin O'Connor, and Hilary Rhoda were all in attendance, and each looked just as stunning as ever. Joseph Altuzarra and Zac Posen (in a self-customized A.P.C. coat and fedora) were also in present and plenty stylish.
Not to be outdone, Chanel hosted not one, but two mega soirees this week as well. Each party brought a host of heavy hitters: Poppy Delevingne, Kristen McMenamy (left), Elle Fanning, Carine Roitfeld, Stella Tennant . . . and, of course, all were decked out in their black and white Chanel finest.

Easy Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookies
I really need to keep my "good" camera around my neck at all times.. because when I don't you are forced to suffer through my terrible phone camera pictures...
But you know what's funny? I really like the imperfection of the phone camera pictures. I love the grainy quality. It's like adding some cool instagram filter, minus instagram.
At any rate, here are some cookies for you. And this imperfect, grainy picture... it's comfortably fitting for these tasty treats. They aren't amazing bakery cookies. They are easy, simple 4-ingredient cookies for a sweet tooth fix. They are low glycemic, so they won't spike your blood sugar and then send you sinking down, down, down on a Tuesday afternoon.
They are easy, kid-friendly, snack-size little gems of almond flour and coconut palm sugar... and will make you smile.
Who needs perfection? Have a cookie instead!
Easy Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookies
free of gluten, dairy, soy, grains, and easily egg-free
printer-friendly recipe
2 cups blanched almond flour
1/2 cup - 3/4 cup coconut palm sugar (or: honey, sugar, maple syrup, date sugar...)
1 egg (or egg replacer, 1/4 cup applesauce would work just fine)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat mat. In a large bowl whisk together the almond flour and coconut palm sugar. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the egg (or egg replacer) and the pure vanilla extract. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until you have a very stiff and sturdy dough. It should be stiff enough to stir into a ball. If it's too crumbly (and it could be, depending on the humidity levels where you live), add water a teaspoon at a time, until the dough will stir into a stiff ball. Scoop the dough out with a cookie scoop and place 1" apart onto the cookie sheet. I usually get about 12 medium-size cookies. Shape them with your fingers into circular cookies and flatten them slightly with your palm. Bake for 12-15 minutes until cookies are a bit puffy and are golden brown around the edges. Allow cookies to cool for 10-15 minutes before eating... if you can wait that long!

Yum! I'm in the midst of packing my son up for his last youth retreat week and was looking for another healthy, sweet treat for the cooler. He will love these.ReplyDelete
Nom! These look easy and delish! Will have to try them with maple (my new obsession)ReplyDelete
I do not think that the picture is imperfect and grainy one. It is because I think that the cookies look great in the picture. It is nice that anyone would enjoy this sweet treat without worrying gluten sensitivity, food allergies or sugar rush. Kids would definitely love this snack-size little gems of almond flour and coconut palm sugar.ReplyDelete

My 8 year old son and I went gluten free about 3 months ago. We both feel great and he is no longer having daily stomach pain. It has been hard for him at school, birthday parties and eating out though, because he often cannot eat what everyone else is having. I welcome any recipes, packaged mixes etc.!!!ReplyDelete

Things haven't looked up in a while for Robert Swift, taken 12th overall by Seattle in 2004. He bailed on a 2009 D-League assignment after two games, citing personal reasons. He spent a year playing in Japan, but that team folded, unable to stay afloat on the star power of Robert Swift.
KOMO News in Seattle reports that things aren't much better on the homefront. Swift's King County home was foreclosed on last summer, and sold to a woman in January. But the woman says she's unable to move in, because Swift won't move out.
Cans of beer dot the grass outside the home. A bullet hole pierced the garage window at some point.
"Cars that don't look like they've moved in a long time," she noted.
Water festers in buckets outside of what was once a million dollar home in a wealthy Eastside suburb.
KOMO went to the house to try and speak with Swift, but a woman answering the door, who said she was his girlfriend, said he couldn't come out because he was "asleep after taking pills."
And what's that in the B-roll of the squalor?
Four Loko? Oh, Bobby.
The house's owner filed a summons, and Swift has one week to respond before police get involved.

As soon as the jobs number came out on Friday morning, gold immediately shot $20 higher. This is a clear reflection of the number's weakness.
Nonfarm payrolls data showed that 169,000 jobs were added in August, compared with estimates of 180,000 jobs. And at this point in the recovery, 169,000 jobs is simply not good enough.
And while the unemployment rate dropped to 7.3 percent, that was because fewer people were looking for jobs. Incredibly, the labor force participation rate dropped to 63.2 percent, which is the lowest it's been since 1978.
(Read more: Gold has become a 'Humpty Dumpty' trade)
While I don't think this weak number takes a Federal Reserve tapering of quantitative easing off the table, it could certainly lead the Fed to taper at a slower rate.
Again, after five years of stimulus, these numbers are simply not where they should be. So why would the Fed scurry for the exit now, instead of tapering down its bond-buying program at a more manageable rate?

Challah Against Hunger
Last week I went to a friend's essay reading. My friend wrote about her hardscrabble childhood in Idaho. One of the images I couldn't get out of my head (and written here with her permission):
"Hunger was always with my sister and me. We snuck into the neighbor's shed and stole canned fruit. We carried it into the sagebrush and ate the sweet peaches and drank the juice. When we were very hungry, we stole dog food, too, and ate it."
Now, I don't about you, but my childhood was a little different than that. I always had plenty to eat. And here at Challah Connection I am surrounded by food. I'm constantly sampling new products, as well as sampling my own holiday cooking.
My friend's essay reminded me that other people are not as fortunate as I am, and my company has made a big commitment to donating unused food to our local food pantry, as well as monetary donations to Jewish charities.
And my friend's experience is not unusual. I was shocked to open up Tuesday's New York Times and read the headline, "49 Million Americans Report a Lack of Food." From the article: "The number of Americans who lived in households that lacked consistent access to adequate food soared last year to 49 million, the highest since the government began tracking what it calls "food insecurity" 14 years ago," the Department of Agriculture reported Monday.
49 mIllion!? I was shocked to see that number. It's outrageous in a country as wealthy as ours, where 10-year-olds carry cell phones and 18-year-olds drive BMWs.
I know what you're thinking. It's a terrible problem, so huge that nothing can possibly be done about it. But I've decided to act, to make a difference, and I'm inviting you to join me.
For every challah you order, we'll match it. We will send it to our homeless shelter. Or, if you prefer, we will include it in your shipment, for you to deliver to a food shelter of your choice. To participate in this offer, be sure to add the code HUNGER at checkout. Our pledge will continue until December 4.
I know we can make a difference, one loaf at a time.

|This article is non-canon.
Olórë Mallë, also known as the Path of Dreams, was a path made by Lórien from the Great Lands to Valinor. Lórien created the path at the bidding of Manwë who looked with sorrow upon the hiding of Valinor. It was a road by which the children of Men would at times come to Valinor in their sleep. It was a lane of deep banks and great overhanging hedges, beyond which stood many tall trees wherein a perpetual whisper seemed to live. Great glow-worms crept about its grassy borders. At the end of the lane stood a high gate of lattice-work that shone golden in the dusk. The gate opened up to winding paths leading into the fairest of all the gardens, and amidmost of the garden stood a white cottage, The Cottage of the Children.[1]
Olórë Mallë is Qenya, from olórë ("dream") and mallë ("street").[2]

Gaining Decrypted Visibility in Public Cloud with Amazon VPC Traffic Mirroring
Aug 22 2019
62 mins
Steve Perkins and Erik Freeland of Nubeva & Anoop Dawani of AWS
Encryption of all traffic in the cloud is a widely adopted best practice. The new TLS 1.3 standard with Elliptic-Curve Diffie Helman (ECDH), perfect forward secrecy and ephemeral keys renders most traditional decryption methods ineffective and out-of-band decryption essentially impossible. Combined with the distributed and elastic nature of cloud computer architectures and the use of third party services, enterprises have been forced to choose between security and visibility or between security and modern architectures.
Join us for a "How To" webinar covering the newest possibilities for decryption in the public cloud. During the session, Steve Perkins, Chief Product Officer and Erik Freeland, Director of Customer Success at Nubeva, will discuss the complications and opportunities surrounding the new TLS 1.3 protocols. They will walk through how organizations can implement encryption best practices and also gain full decrypted traffic visibility for intrusion detection, threat hunting, incident response and beyond with the newly announced Amazon VPC traffic mirroring and industry-leading open source monitoring tools.

How Machine Learning is Taking Cyber Security Teams to the Next Level
Aug 20 2019
43 mins
Tom Cignarella, Director, Security Coordination Center (SCC) at Adobe
Ten years ago, security leaders couldn't wait to tell you about their cutting edge use of Linux – nowadays, that's considered table stakes. Today, the big buzzwords are AI and machine learning – and for good reason. With the computational power we have today, we can apply straightforward math tricks to data and surface insights that are not only interesting and valuable but also may not have been possible five or ten years ago – helping us become faster, more effective and increasingly innovative in our approach to defending systems from the evolving threat landscape we face today.
While the excitement around machine learning is deserved, Tom believes that much like Linux, it will eventually be something everyone in security is doing. In this webcast, Tom will outline how machine learning fits into the broader cyber security toolbox as a tool to augment – not replace – security teams, surfacing data-based insights and automating mundane, time-consuming tasks to free up precious security analysts time. He'll also include key learnings from Adobe that security organizations should keep in mind as they explore machine learning, including the type of talent needed to succeed and the importance of good data.

Best Practices for Securely Moving Workloads Into the Cloud
Aug 8 2019
50 mins
Torsten George, Senior Director, Product Marketing, Centrify
Organizations are increasingly moving their workloads to the cloud to achieve greater agility, flexibility, and cost savings. In fact, spending on cloud infrastructure services will grow from $39.5 billion in 2019 to $63 billion through 2021 [according to Gartner].
However, when transitioning to the cloud, it's critical to understand that cloud security is a shared responsibility between the cloud service provider and the customer. The cloud service provider typically secures the core infrastructure and services while securing operating systems, platforms, and data remains the responsibility of the customer.
As your organization formulates a cloud security strategy, it is important to remember that the #1 cause of today's breaches is privileged access abuse. And it takes just one single compromised privileged credential to impact millions of data records and result in millions of dollars in fines.
To limit their exposure to these attacks, organizations need to move to an identity-centric approach based on a Zero Trust model: "never trust, always verify, enforce least privilege". This concept should be extended to the organization's workforce, as well as partners, privileged IT admins, and outsourced IT.
Our webinar, Best Practices for Securely Moving Workloads to the Cloud:
- Reviews the state of cloud computing;
- Details the key threats for cloud environments;
- Identifies 6 best practices for boosting cloud security confidence in a world of Zero Trust;
- Showcases how to apply these best practices to critical privileged cloud access use cases;
- Shares a customer success story; and
- Outlines the benefits of Zero Trust Privilege.

Using User Behavior Analytics to Detect Authentication Anomalies
Jul 16 2019
55 mins
Aron Anderson, Senior Security Engineer & Ashwini Cheerla, Security Engineer at Adobe
In modern cyber battlefield, we face new threats daily where signatures are not necessarily known. Identifying these anomalies in regular behavior is the core of User Behavior Analysis (UBA). Common UBA applications include detection of malicious insider threats, privilege misuse, and compromised accounts. Analytics tools help make sense of varied information provided by security systems to identify potential risks. At Adobe, we generate vast amounts of security data in form of application, system and other logs. In addition, we have environment context data like employee role details and configuration management database (CMDB) data. This security data is an immense source of security intelligence. If collected diligently, the answers are already present, but the trick is to ask the right questions. This information can be compared against a security standard to find security gaps that need to be remediated, which is reactive security. However, if we use machine learning techniques and other analytics tools to ask the right questions, we can proactively identify anomalous activities.
All of this is part of our broader strategy around Project ZEN – our zero-trust enterprise network initiative first introduced to the ISACA audience at CSX 2018. This talk will dive into more specifics about how ZEN works – specifically around UBA. We leverage UBA to help meet the most recent NIST guidelines around user passwords and remove the need for password changes at regular intervals. We will provide summit attendees with a blueprint they can use for a significant part of their own zero-trust network efforts. We hope that you can learn best practices from our approach that you can leverage in implementing more effective UBA at your organization.

Pay-al Pan, Senior Solutions Engineer, Okta & James Fang, Director of Product Marketing, Okta
Passwords have been the de-facto standard for authentication in the last 40 years, but end users hate them. Not to mention they aren't considered safe anymore - 81% of hacking-related account breaches leveraged weak or stolen passwords. While password + 2FA is a recommended approach by NIST, 2FA may still be hackable.
WebAuthn promises a safer, phishing-resistant protocol and easier authentication standard for web applications. But can it live up to it's hype? Join this session to learn about WebAuthn and understand how you can build strong auth with WebAuthn into your applications.

Dr. Florian Huber, Research Manager at SYNYO & Mag. Bernhard Jäger, Research Manager and Department Lead at SYNYO
New Services and Tools for Supporting First-line-practitioners and Law Enforcement Agencies.
In recent years, Europe has been at increased risk of extremist violence and terrorism – from Islamic fundamentalists, far-right fascist hate groups and others, fueled by online radicalization and encrypted communication networks. At the same time, national and international law enforcement agencies are battling growing networks of organized criminals that are increasingly taking their activities online, using the notorious underground 'dark web' to commit illegal acts.
Faced with these threats, the EU-funded TAKEDOWN project (https://www.takedownproject.eu) is developing tools to understand why people turn to terrorism or organized crime, and what can be done to combat the problem. Due to the increasing relevance of the cyber-domain, the project also addressed the issues of (cyber)terrorism and organized (cyber)crime and put a particular focus on the nexus or the hybrids of organized crime and terrorism.
The webinar, presented by the coordinator of the H2020-project TAKEDOWN, will address…
- The outcomes of the research conducted in the project. Focusing on the main conclusions related to the nexus and the hybrids.
- The main practical outcomes of the project the two web platforms, www.firstlinepractitioners.com (for practitioners) and www.fightcrimeterrorism.com (law enforcement agencies and solution providers)

Securing Cloud Infrastructure with Cyber Exposure
Jun 6 2019
61 mins
Nate Dyer, Product Marketing Director, Tenable
Cloud is dramatically expanding your attack surface and introducing new visibility challenges into infrastructure security. Without foundational visibility, it's nearly impossible to execute other cloud security programs supporting compliance, policy enforcement, and vulnerability remediation. Cyber Exposure is a cybersecurity discipline to provide visibility into traditional IT and cloud infrastructure to help you manage and measure cyber risk. Cyber Exposure allows you answer three fundamental questions in your cloud environment:
- Where are we exposed?
- What should we focus on first?
- How are we reducing exposure over time?
Join us as we demystify Cyber Exposure, show how it can help you secure cloud infrastructure, and provide best practices to help you get started on your Cyber Exposure journey.

Gary Kasparov (yes, THE Gary Kasparov of chess fame) has some very interesting things to say on the attempts to draft some sort of "moral equivilency" framework for the War on Terror (a phrase he dislikes, by the way).
He's makes some interesting points. Some I've made in the blog, some just talking to people:
- That the enemy is distributed widely, but can be found and identifed with ease.
- Most of the media is on the side of the enemy. (Now there's a surprise!)
- This war is not about religion. It's about an entrenched hatred for the West. The enemy can not, I repeat CAN NOT, be negotiated with.
The last two paragraphs need to be quoted in their entirety:
Every era dictates its own political divisions. In 19th century Great Britain, the political fight centered on the Corn Laws, reform bills and home rule for Ireland. Many of the old splits have vanished in Europe but this new divide is both wider and more vital. Jacques Chirac on the right is against intervention while Labour's Tony Blair is for it. The consequences of José Luís Rodríguez Zapatero caving in after the Madrid attack have yet to be felt, but I have no doubt that we will be facing more attacks in Europe based on the terrorists' reading of the weakness of European leaders.
In this fight the enemy does not play by our rules, or by any rules at all. WMD will be in terrorist hands eventually; conventional wisdom recognizes this reality. Concessions and negotiations at best only delay catastrophe. Europe and its people are in this war whether they acknowledge it or not. Those who would appease terrorists must realize that by pretending that this battle does not exist, they will soon have blood on their hands--both real and metaphorical.
Right now, despite everything the media/liberal politicians are whining about "torture of prisoners" and "quagmire", we are winning. There have been no terrorist attacks on US soil since 9-11. I believe this is due to the fact that, despite some of our obvious lunacy in some areas of security (the TSA is a shining example), we've shown that we are now a much tougher nut to crack. Perhaps more importantly, we have demonstrated that we will hit them back, and do it in a big way. As Toby Keith says, "We'll put a boot in your ass, it's the American Way..."
Europe, with the execption of Great Britain, has shown otherwise, especially in Spain, though Italy is now starting to make the same noises. How long will it be until our anti-Western enemy decides to strike where we are weak--in Europe? When it happens, how bad will it be? And most importantly, will the Europeans finally get the joke?
