In the first part of Frugal Cottage Ideas, I used a list from the Better Homes and Gardens website to see how our Oregon Cottage does interpreting the "cottage look." In this second part we'll look at the rest of the items on the list.
So far, it's been a lot of fun for me to seeing our cottage ideals compared to those listed by the venerable BHG- in addition to remembering some things I've always wanted- like more wicker and a cool architectural fragment. Are you finding anything you'd like to add to your home?
11. Pretty Fabrics
I used to have a lot more floral fabrics, but then I started to feel like our cottage didn't represent Brian very well (though he's not the kind to care about that, thank goodness!).
Now I'm using the soft florals I love in smaller doses, like these loose roman shades I made out of a $10 duvet cover from an Eddie Bauer Outlet Store, or the comforter at the foot of the bed in our master bedroom.
The pretty fabric I use more now is Toile. It's sort of floral and sort of not- and works equally well in an office or bathroom. In fact, I have it in both areas! This set of French doors hides our canning pantry in my workroom and they are lined with a green and white Toile. I also love how the black and cream Toile in the main bath cuts down the sweetness of the periwinkle walls- it's one of my favorite rooms in our cottage.
12. Feminine Curves
I have a rounded mirror on the mantel, does that count? Though I wonder if this is a bit of a stretch- doesn't every home and decor have round things?
13. Collections
While this is defined in the list as a key cottage component, I still think worn surfaces are more indicative of cottage style, because you can easily have a cottage without a collection, but there should be at least one surface somewhere that tells a story!
Plus, there's a fine balance with collections- I like the personalization collections bring to a space (whether is a collage wall or a table of items), but I'm always turned off by pictures with too much stuff in them. Hundreds of items just seems a bit "hoarder-ish" and definitely ignores the simplicity part of the classic cottage lifestyle.
I liked my collection of white pottery so much more when I edited and redid our living room shelves. Less clutter is becoming more of a "key cottage look" for me!
14. Natural Fibers
Natural fibers like cotton, burlap, and wool, as well as baskets are cost effective and real. I've mentioned our cotton drop cloth shades and slipcovers and I recovered our ottoman/coffee table with burlap during our living room makeover.
We also have a patterned wool rug under the footstool (attempting to hide a hideously stained white carpet), but that soon will be a wool-jute rug over a new engineered wood floor (yes, we finally found a deal on Craigslist- more on that to come!).
15. Charming Light
I wish I had more sweet little lamps. These column lamps sit on our bedside tables and while they are really too small (notice the books under them? That's how they are high enough for reading!), they do have a story. I found them at a flea market about 20 years ago. They were glazed with that white-with-gold-speckled glaze that was popular in the 60s and 70s (let's hope that never comes back in style) and they needed to be rewired.
In other words, they weren't selling. I had never spray painted over glaze at that point, but I loved the classic shape, and knew we could rewire, so I bought them for about $5.00 for the pair (which Brian rolled his eyes at- I don't think he would've paid even that much!). Of course the spray paint covered beautifully and paired with some classic shades, I had a pair of lamps I could love.
And a story. You can't buy that at Target.
16. The Small Things
Decorative touches like buttons, ties, and ribbons. In the previous lamp photo, you can just see the ties I left visible on our homemade headboard slipcover (made of drop cloth again…), and on this pillow I added vintage bone buttons and a handmade, vintage cutwork-and-embroidered linen piece. It's simple, but not mass-market, so I love it (oh, but I did just add them to a pillow I found on clearance- so easy!).
17. Bring the Outside In
Fresh flowers are great, but when nothing's blooming, I keep a small number of houseplants to remind me of the outdoors. This wicker plant stand belonged to Brian's grandma and the harp table was given to me by an acquaintance who knew I'd be able to fix it up (the top was broken).
I really adore wicker and would love to bring more into the house- I'm thinking a couple of chairs for the dining room. If you have wicker, where do you have it?
18. Architectural Fragments
I would LOVE a grand piece from an old building (what a story that would tell!), but I haven't found one to fit my budget yet. In the meantime, I like the look of my old screen doors we found for our storage space when we remodeled our garage into living space.
19. Sweet Touches
I changed all the knobs in our house from ceramic-and-brass to glass and silver when we remodeled. I've tried to find a variety of knobs I like, but I usually end up with glass. They just make me happy.
Plain cupboard doors opened with shelving or glass to show off glass and pottery is a sweet, cottagey touch, too- but not all, as most of us still need hidden places to stash unlovely things we can't get away from in our kitchens!
20. Smart Storage
Any baskets are smart storage to me- and you can never have too much storage, can you? These vintage wire baskets came from our old church years ago- they had been used to house Sunday School items until they were deemed too old and piled up outside to be given away. Of course I helped them out…and got another story!
21. Relaxing Bath
Finally, we get to the tub. You can read about how much this $100 Craigslist tub ended up costing us, but suffice it to say- I still love it. It makes me smile to see it, and it is relaxing (you can even watch a video of Brian's interpretation of our remodeling saga– if you dare…)
On the rare occasions I'm able to use it. *sigh*
Can you have a relaxing, cottage bath without a clawfoot tub? Of course! I've seen tubs that have been surrounded with wood planks and vintage tin tiles that scream cottage to me. The main idea is to soften the room up and make it a place you like to visit, because you all know that we do spend a lot of time there!
That's it for this list- I think the BHG list had one more about walls, but it was mentioned in Part 1 as well. And while there are a few things I'd like to add to our cottage, I'm happy to think we've got the basics covered. *smile*
However, the biggest impression I've come away with isn't that we need another thing to make a home a cottage- it's having items we love that tell a storyabout where we've been and who we are. So not only is a cottage imperfect, simple, and joyful, it should also reflect us.
What defines cottage for you- something on this list or something else?

Mooneyes' X-mas Party
It Was A Show & Drag
According to Lichter's law of containment, if one puts up a fence around an event that used to be free and starts charging admission, it's only a matter of time before things go bad.
In the early days of the Mooneyes X-Mas Party, if memory serves us well, it used to be called the Rat Fink Reunion, and it was held at Moon Speed Equipment's parking lot in Santa Fe Springs, California. Back then, most of the guys who attended were pinstripers and usually showed up early enough to park their ride inside Moon's parking lot, grab a toilet seat or a trash can, and pull some stripes.
For the ones like us who showed up later in the day, we had to park out somewhere on Norwalk Boulevard and walk the rest of the way. One of the things that was really neat about the Rat Fink Reunion was Ed "Big Daddy" Roth, who would be there in person walking around with his top hat on, smiling and talking to people. For anyone who ever met "Big Daddy" Roth, we are sure the experience left them with a memory they will never forget. One of the usual stories is how approachable he was. As kids, we used to talk with him at one of the local custom car shows while he was painting creepy monsters on T-shirts and selling them. One of the last memories we have of seeing Ed Roth in person was at the Moon X-Mas Party. It was around dinnertime, and there was a barbecue going on. "Big Daddy" Roth and another guy were taking turns cooking the burgers and putting them together to set on a table and hand out to folks. When it was Ed's turn to cook burgers, he jumped right in and started cranking them out in a hurry...
maybe too much of a hurry. In his zealousness, Ed flipped a burger from the grill to the bun, but he missed it and it landed on the ground. Without skipping a beat, "Big Daddy" looked around with a giant smile, scooped the burger up, and plopped it onto the bun.
In defiance of Lichter's law of containment, the 2006 edition of the Mooneyes X-Mas Party was held for the first time at the Irwindale Speedway in Irwindale, California. The Rat Fink Reunion has evolved into a really great event of major proportions. Probably the key to this success is the folks at Mooneyes didn't get greedy and charge a bunch of money to get in. For only $5, you could park your ride and walk in, or for $20, you could enter your vehicle in the show. In addition to a large vendor's row area, the indulgence we were most impressed with was that it cost only $20 to drag race on Irwindale's eighth-mile strip.

In recent years, I've tried to keep pace with various international sports competitions by playing music from the countries involved, including Euro 2004 (football), World Cup Cricket, World Cup Rugby and the African Nations Cup (football again).
This year, I haven't been concentrating. First I missed Euro 2008 and now, although the Beijing Olympics haven't started yet, I've already recorded the programmes due to go out while they take place. Partly, I was distracted by linking to WOMAD and the Awards for World Music, but that's not much of an excuse.
At first glance, the Olympics looks too big for the idea to work - since every country takes part, how would they influence the choices? The way to do it would be to narrow down the sports. Ice Hockey would bring together Czech Republic, Finland, Russia, USA & Canada; long distance running would highlight East Africa, from Ethiopia through Kenya and Somalia to Tanzania.
Like I say, it's already too late. But if you see something looming a couple of months ahead, please point it out while there's still time for me to make appropriate plans.

Resource speculation driven by financial markets, climate change and biofuels threatens starvation for the world's poor.
Submitted by: Hazel Henderson

By Hazel Henderson
Recent spikes in prices of rice, soy, wheat and corn have driven many poor people in developing countries into hunger and malnutrition. In 2011, then World Bank president Robert Zoellick estimated that 44 million people fell into poverty in 2010 due to rising food prices, adding, "Food price inflation is the biggest threat today to the world's poor...one weather event and you start to push people over the edge."
The United Nations (UN) FAO Food Price Index jumped 25 percent in 2010.
The dots connecting world hunger, weather events and speculation on global financial markets are obvious. Yet, well-meaning officials at UN agencies, including the FAO, World Bank and IMF, are curiously blind. Instead, their many urgent meetings over the past three years have focused on raising more money to pay these rising prices for food staples, urging more productivity from agriculture and opposing nations curbing exports to protect their domestic foods.
Another taboo subject along with the role of speculation seems to be how quantitative easing, as in the U.S. Fed's QE 1, 2 and 3, simply adds to price spikes of food and other commodities as investors seek real assets rather than fiat currencies.
China, Germany and Brazil warned in November 2010 that the Fed's QE 2 of $600 billion would not be good for the global economy. Germany's finance minister called U.S. policy "clueless." Brazil protected its currency and imposed capital controls to fend off asset bubbles.
Central banks resorting to QE money printing results in investors moving to safer investments in gold, silver, oil, food, land, forests and other real resources. Even pension funds, endowments and other institutional investment vehicles have shifted their portfolios into commodities.
Ethical Markets has pointed out to our colleagues at UN PRI and other investors that we deem it unethical to hold vital commodities and speculate in food. Breaking the taboo on the role of central banks, government policies and speculation in food and vital resources is now essential.
We at Ethical Markets base our moral objections on patently obvious correlations in the news and research we scan daily from world sources. We connect these dots – seeing food prices linked to such speculation and to perverse government subsidies on corn-based ethanol, which diverts some 40 percent of U.S. corn crops to fuel our gas-guzzling cars, as well as to the now more-recognized role of droughts, floods and other weather-related shortages.
Blindness to the role of finance and speculation in rising prices of food and commodities attests to the power of free market ideologies among global financial interests.
This "theory-induced blindness" is a condition described by psychologist Daniel Kahneman in Thinking Fast and Slow (2011). Conventional economics based on externalizing social costs still drives most of their decisions. They view such social and environmental cost as "externalities" to be ignored on corporate and financial balance-sheets.
System-wide accounting models pioneered by ethical investors and mutual funds include environmental, social and governance factors (ESG) and other "triple bottom line" approached in the Global Reporting Initiative, as well as new national indicators of progress Beyond GDP.
Systemic methods of connecting all these dots also come from complexity science.
New research on human brains, behavior and endocrinology, as well as in thermodynamics and ecology have now invalidated the core principles of economics, as I document in Transition to the Solar Age: From Economism to Earth Systems Science (ICAEW).
New mathematical models from the New England Complexity Science Institute (NECSI) now show direct causal links between rising food prices, riots among affected peoples with financial speculation and perverse government policies. NECSI president Professor Yaneer Bar-Yam and his research team relate speculation to the US droughts of 2012. They predict new food price spikes in 2013 unless the new limits to speculation under Dodd-Frank are implemented. Although some U.S. subsidies to corn-based ethanol have been phased out, the mandated percentage in gasoline remains.
Such complex science and systemic models are vital in connecting all these dots and reintegrating our knowledge into holistic policies such as earth systems science – developed by astronaut Sally Ride at NASA and the U.S. Congress Office of Technology Assessment (OTA 1974-2006).
Systemic models are available for finance and money-creation by:
When we go beyond economics, we will not be flying blind!

Bangladesh again played "like Bangladesh play". It was a dismal performance after so many efforts, practice matches and high expectations, expressed in the press conferences.
ICCCT: Bangladesh vs. South Africa: A Review
by Saber Ahmed
Published: 14th September, 2004
Bangladesh again played "like Bangladesh play". It was a dismal performance after so many efforts, practice matches and high expectations, expressed in the press conferences. The whole performance by our team was just unacceptable, disappointing, unprofessional, dreary and miserable. There were plenty of mistakes and blunders at all stages of the game like final team selection, captaincy, batting, bowling and fielding. Let's review all these in brief.
Final Team Selection:
It was surprising to find that the final team was formed keeping the most experienced bowler for ODI's Khaled Mahmud as 12th man. It was proved during the practice matches that Bangladesh faced much problem by keeping him on rest. It is quite understandable for practice matches to find the best combination for the real big game. But there is no merit in keeping him outside and opting for Mushfiq. And Bangladesh has paid for this to some extend: Mushfiq could neither score a single run, nor prove himself a worthy bowler.
Captain's First Decision:
Rajin Saleh in his very first decision as a captain did a blunder by choosing batting, which was totally unconventional in those conditions. It was a suicidal decision, for which cricket experts expressed their surprise. The TV commentators were expressing their surprise for this decision very often during the game and cricket media also expressed the same in the reports. The match report by Wisden Cricinfo is captioned as "Bangladesh hand South Africa welcome win" and the report starts with the sentence: "Bangladesh's gamble to defy convention and bat first came unstuck as South Africa skittled them out for 93 and then knocked off the runs for the loss of one wicket with more than 32 overs to spare." Rajin might be young enough not to understand the impact of those conditions, but there were experienced people around him to guide him in advance. If the decision of batting was taken just to avoid chasing high scores, then that was totally unproved by our fragile and collapsing batting line.
Fielders closer to the batsman were found not much attentive even with their postures
This department was a total failure and did injustice to our growing reputation. The way most of the batsmen were being dismissed was unacceptable by any norms. Most of them were batting, as it appeared, in utter inconfidence. They were batting defensive, with a sort of stiffness and without any footwork. It was very upsetting to watch that most of our batsmen lack of understanding the merit of individual balls and apprehend their fight. Most of the time they react very late when the ball is just going out with a flick, which ultimately resulted in a large number of catch outs by slip and the wicketkeeper.
The most impressive and easy batting was performed by the young blood Nafees Iqbal. It was unfortunate to see him out after getting set only due to not controlling his temptation of big hitting, which was trapped by N. Boje. Khaled Masud's role as a supporter to Nafees and play in the front line after his departure is also very praiseworthy. But the way batsmen like Ashraf, Rana, Rafique, Mushfiq and Aftab were out is totally unacceptable. Aftab was leaving a lot of ball outside off stamp, which was appreciable, but I cannot understand why he wanted to hit a bouncer to end his innings.
Bowling and Fielding:
Bangladesh team was selected with an unbalanced pace attack, as I mentioned earlier. Nazmul as a debutant did well during his 6 over bowling conceding 2.83 runs per over. He was unfortunate not to get his maiden wicket when Ashraf dropped the catch, which was the main fault of Bangladesh fielding during the short stay of 18 overs. The most lousy and miserable bowling was done by Mushfiq, who in my opinion does not deserve to be kept in ODI squad. His bowling was quite slow, missing the lines and of a little shorter length, which made it easy for the batsman to have enough time to see the flight of the ball and hit it comfortably. It is not acceptable to concede a run rate nearly 8.5, where other bowlers bowled with an average of 4.1.
Bowling record for last ten matches revealed that Khaled Mahmud got 11 wickets with BA (Bowling Average) 29.54 having BB (Best Bowling Figures) as 4/19 against Mushfiq's record of 7 wickets with BA 41.0 having BB as 2/21(Source: Wisden: Stats Guru). One significant observation about our fielding is that, at the time of bowling, fielders closer to the batsman were found not much attentive even with their postures. This is one of the main reasons of dropped catches. They just drop it because they are not prepared for it. The replay of Ashraf's dropped catch also revealed this fact.
We have high quality Coach, Trainer, Action Analyst etc, to take care of all these stuff, at least, to give the team a professional look and practice; but why our players cannot perform properly, why their weak points are getting exposed to even amateurs like us?
How long we shall have to watch this type of heartbreaking episodes, this is today's question.
Note: This review was written immediately after the match before any interview with Bangladesh Captain and Coach was published , which might reveal some facts in controversy with the contents of this article.

The fifth-ranked UMBC Retrievers (16-1-2) will host the tenth-ranked UConn Huskies (12-2-6) in the second round of the NCAA Men's Soccer Championships on Sunday, Nov. 24 at Retriever Soccer Park. Kick-off time is set for 5:00 p.m. Fans are encouraged to purchase tickets online – via Retriever net at alumni.umbc.edu/NCAA. UMBC students may still purchase tickets at the Commons Information Desk. Live stats and free video streaming will also be available for this event – the first of its kind to take place at UMBC.
- · UMBC won its first America East regular season crown since 2003 after completing an undefeated (5-0-2) conference season and captured their third tournament title and NCAA automatic bid in the last four years.
- · UMBC received a first round bye and will take UConn in the Second Round of the 2013 NCAA Men's Soccer College Cup, the NCAA. It is the first time in school history that UMBC will compete in and host an NCAA Division I Tournament contest.
- · UMBC is in the top ten in all polls and the RPI as of Nov. 20. UMBC is at No. 5 in Top Drawer Soccer, College Soccer News and in the Continental Tire NSCAA Poll. The Retrievers moved up eight slots to No. 10 in Soccer America poll and are No. 6 in the NCAA RPI rankings.
- · The Retrievers have advanced to the second round in the NCAA Championships in both 2010 and 2012. The 2013 season marks UMBC's fourth NCAA Tournament appearance overall, having earned its first bid in 1999.
- · SR F Pete Caringi III, Coach Caringi's son, was named Disney/NSCAA Player of the Week and College Soccer News' Player of the Week for games ending Sept. 1 and Sept. 8 respectively. He went onto be named Most Outstanding Player in the America East Tournament, scoring two goals and adding in assist in the title game, a 4-0 win over Hartford.
- · Entering play this week, UMBC leads the nation in winning percentage (16-1-2, .895) and are tied for second in total victories (16).
- · The 16 victories for UMBC are the most since also recording 15 in 2000 and is the second-most in school history. The 1999 team led the nation in winning percentage and posted a record of 19-1-2.
- · SR F Pete Caringi III was named Disney/NSCAA Player of the Week and College Soccer News' Player of the Week for games ending Sept. 1 and Sept. 8 respectively.
- · Entering play this weekend, UMBC leads the nation in winning percentage (.889) and are tied for the most victories (15). The Retrievers are 15th in scoring offense (1.94 gpg) and 18th (0.68) in scoring defense. UMBC went 501 minutes of action without allowing a goal until Albany scored with 21 seconds left in regulation in the America East semifinals.
TOP DOG: In 23 seasons under Head Coach Pete Caringi, Jr., UMBC is 145-47-2(.723) at home and the Retrievers are 86-20-22 (.758) in 128 games on the Bermuda turf of Retriever Soccer Park. The Retriever mentor has an overall record of 246-144-53 (.615) during his tenure on Hilltop Circle and in 32 years as a head coach, he is 416-171-61 (.689).
Caringi has led UMBC to four NCAA appearances in his tenure (1999, 2010, 2012, 2013). He has the most victories of any soccer coach in school history, and his 246 wins are the third-most of any Retriever mentor. He was the Northeast Conference Coach of the Year in 1999 and 2002, the America East Conference Coach of the Year in 2005 and led the America East Coaching Staff of the Year in 2013.
Coach Caringi has moved into 31st place amongst active coach with 246 career victories, one behind Furman's Doug Allison. The Retrievers have never had back-to-back sub-.500 seasons under Caringi and have posted winning marks in 18 of his 23 seasons at the helm.
RETRIEVER RECAP: Tournament Most Outstanding Player, UMBC senior forward Pete Caringi III scored a pair of goals and added an assist, leading the top-seeded and sixth-ranked Retrievers to a 4-0 victory over Hartford in the America East Championship game.
UMBC has won four straight games and is now unbeaten in its last nine (7-0-2) outings. The Retrievers started the campaign with nine consecutive wins.
Caringi, junior back Oumar Ballo (1g) , and senior midfielder Kadeem Dacres (GWG vs. Albany in semis) and senior goalkeeper Phil Saunders (1ga, 195 mins.) were named to the All-Championship team.
This will be the first meeting between UMBC and U.Conn in men's soccer. The two teams have one common opponent in 2013, Saint Francis Brooklyn, another NCAA Tournament team. Both teams recorded victories over the Terriers – Connecticut blanked the Terriers, 1-0, in the opener, while UMBC recorded a 3-1 victory.
Senior forward Mamadou Diouf came up big for the No. 10 University of Connecticut men's soccer team, netting a goal in the final 10 minutes of regulation and propelling the Huskies to a 2-1 victory over Quinnipiac in the First Round of the 2013 NCAA Division I Men's Tournament on Thursday night at Joseph J.

We're currently getting in and out without any hassle. It's just the "logic" of the whole thing! Them folks got some priority issues up there in Spokane

The BLM has rights to the roads since they are a land owner and a right to have people work on their land.
People are going there anyway so a crapper is needed to keep crap out of the sand box. Trash seems to be a bigger problem though.
Build Juniper Dunes toilet: 20,000 visitors can't wait
By the Herald editorial staff
Just when it looked like Juniper Dunes was finally getting services needed to match its rising popularity, the plans were scrapped.
The proposal wasn't elaborate -- not enough to break the federal bank any further than it already is broken.
A couple of vault toilets, picnic tables, grills, trash cans and shelters -- standard campground and park stuff that you'd expect at a popular off-road vehicle park.
The toilets were to be installed first, with the rest of the amenities contingent on the decades-old access issue being resolved.
While we won't hold our breath waiting for a permanent public access road, toilets seemed like a good first step to address the area's needs.
With 20,000 visitors to Juniper Dunes last fiscal year, some of them were bound to need a bathroom. We're certain of it.
With 19,000 acres to choose from, the federal Bureau of Land Management narrowed down the potential site for toilets to two locations on 8,600 acres.
But both sites are apparently flawed beyond compromise, so the toilet plan has been scrapped.
In the 8,600 acres designed for road and trail traffic, or even the smaller 3,000 acres designated for ORVs, there's not one suitable spot for an outhouse?
The soil at alternate site No. 1 was too sandy to support the vault toilet. Site No. 2 was in habitat preferred by a threatened species of bird, the ferruginous hawk.
So sand -- a shocking find in Eastern Washington -- and hawks killed the plan for toilets.
And people will be left to do what they have done for decades -- squat behind a piece of sagebrush and kick some sand over what is left behind.
It seems like the hawks would be better off if human wastes were confined to a pit instead of scattered throughout the dunes.
So would the people.
ORV-friendly areas are harder and harder to come by and most of these folks want to respect the rules and the land when given a chance to keep their right to ride intact.
But the federal government won't even give them the chance. What a shame and what a mess.
We've repeatedly called on the federal government to fix the situation at Juniper Dunes. It's a magnet for all kinds of nature lovers as well as off-roaders.
Horseback riders, hikers, bird watchers and the like all have a stake in the vast wilderness area.
But despite lots of lip service, the federal government has been unwilling and unable to find a way to provide a service to the people using these public lands and protect the ground and its inhabitants at the same time.
The fact that the BLM couldn't find a place for two toilets on 19,000 acres is just the latest example in the debacle.

Please don't overshoot a sand berm.
This Area is closed. Can't people read the signs. Probably loose your ATV,Bike or horse. Could be fined also.
As far as I know he is wrong. Juniper Dunes is open. The Peterson road is closed by one land owner which may not be able to close it since it has been public access for many years. I have not heard of anyone getting a ticket since the sign went up.
No one has gotten ticketed. The FSO isn't working the area unless BLM asks. My read is Jackson is "one of them".

Governance , Incident & Breach Response , Information Sharing
CERT-In Inks Pact with Three Asian NationsWill Partnership Do Enough to Improve Cybersecurity Across Region?
India's Computer Emergency Response Team has signed a cybersecurity accord with Malaysia, Singapore and Japan to promote cooperation for exchange of knowledge and experience in detection, resolution and prevention of security-related incidents.
In response to this action, security leaders debate the deal's nuances and question if CERTs of all nations are actually clued into the challenges of executing such an agreement, given the diverse cultures and expertise in establishing a better incident response mechanism across the region.
"The nations' challenge would be to simulate the common problem and respective priorities to build an incident response mechanism to stay ahead of the hackers," says Dr. Ashwini Sharma, managing director, NIELT, DeitY. "Just information sharing may not help, but expertise and knowledge sharing and a strategy to align with the country's cybersecurity policy is crucial to combat new threats."
Ingredients of the Pact
The Cabinet, chaired by PM Narendra Modi, has been apprised of the three MoUs, which were signed last November and December. CERT-In intends to execute these agreements; details were not divulged to the Cabinet.
An agreement between CERT-In and CyberSecurity, Malaysia, was signed on November 23, 2015, in Kuala Lumpur during Modi's visit to Malaysia.
In an email to ISMG, Dr. Amiruddin Wahab, CEO, CyberSecurity Malaysia says, "We intend to work closely with CERT-In in protecting cyberspace."
Some initiatives would include:
- Developing a framework for incident response management to facilitate cross-border cooperation and collaboration between the CERTs and collaboration in malware analysis and computer security threats through a Malware Research Centre, so that threat research information can be shared;
- Capacity building to enhance knowledge in cybersecurity, which can be conducted through information security competency, capability training courses, certification, and knowledge-sharing platform;
- Development of a framework for international cooperation, dialogue and research initiatives in policy research pertaining to cyber-laws, emerging technologies, content, and new policies.
The MoU with Singapore CERT, Cyber Security Agency of Singapore, was signed on November 24, during Modi's visit there. According to David Koh, Chief Executive of Singapore CSA, the agreement focuses on:
- Establishment of a formal framework for professional dialogue;
- CERT-to-CERT related cooperation for operational readiness and response;
- Collaboration on cybersecurity technology and research-related to smart technologies;
- Exchange of best practices;
- Professional exchanges of HRD.
According to CERT-In, the partnership underlines its shared commitment to deal with security challenges in an open, welcoming environment.
The agreement between CERT-In and Japan CERT Coordination Center (JPCERT/CC) was signed on December 7, through diplomatic exchange to establish similar goals of building an effective incident response mechanism through information sharing.
"The government is making efforts to identify the core services to be protected from e-attacks; it is the ideal time to go for such partnerships," Sharma says.
Says Ken Soh, CIO and director of e-strategies at BH Global, "in my opinion, the cooperation would be useful to share updated intelligence, best practices, tools, and incident responses, and pre-empt specific attacks beyond intelligence."
The CERTs' Challenges
Security leaders believe the challenges will be numerous for the three CERTs to collaborate and strike an equal chord in building an incident-response mechanism, given the diverse culture, skills and expertise across the nations.
Neeraj Aarora, cyber expert and attorney says, "The countries' challenge would be to identify the critical infrastructures with the country that has been listed under the category of being protected from cyber-attacks. Each sector has different priorities - each nation takes its own approach and strategy to protect the sector and the steps would be region-centric. Thus, information sharing on best practices is a critical issue."
Soh agrees, "The challenges would lie in what and which piece of intelligence is or isn't shareable without implications to national securities."
Sharma says, "If you look at Indian scenario from a cybersecurity perspective, the policy is made by the government, execution on the cybercrimes is undertaken by the law enforcement groups, technology design is made by the technocrats, and there are huge discrepancies in executing a single project as the ownership is divided. Such international collaboration will face immense execution challenges unless the modus operandi is clear."
How to Approach?
As a priority, the nations could agree on the priority areas or sectors that need attention and are prone to cyber threats. While intelligence sharing is important, understanding the criticality of the sector and the challenges to defend them from threats is key to intelligence-sharing and best practices.
Koh, who sees supervisory control and data acquisition and critical infrastructure protection as pressing issues the governments across need to focus on, says, "A joint committee comprising government agencies and SCADA security experts needs to be formed to address this critical sector which is the target for hackers."
Aarora says, "A nodal agency needs to be formed to study each nation's issues and understand its cyber-security policy, cyber-law, and sections of the IT Act to frame an intelligence gathering strategy in real-time."
Sharma says it is important to evolve a governance structure in executing the agreements if these countries need to make an impact. His advice includes:
- Create a team of technocrats, bureaucrats, CERT, policy makers, law enforcement group, and legal consultants to study the cybersecurity issues of each nation;
- Establish an effective communication flow to seek information in real-time about the challenges and retain the confidentiality;
- Empower the team to take corrective security measures to meet the required goals of the agreement.
Soh says, "The sharing of deep web intelligence in a bid to pre-empt ill intents and planned attacks is imperative."

Useful Blog Comments
Nachopp demonstrates some emacs lisp that inserts a commonly used find command in a shell buffer. And Ian Eure has a great follow-up comment which demonstrates the more typical way of defining emacs lisp functions; talks about alternatives such as
abbrev mode and
yasnippet and finally mentions the best solution, the built-in
Defining C++ styles
David Ha has a gallery of some of the built-in C++ styles. None of the styles suit me exactly so I have accreted a fair amount of C++ configuration code over the years. I must admit, I haven't audited for ages so I'm not sure which bits are necessary and which are not.
(defconst *my-cc-style* '((c-basic-offset . 4) (c-comment-only-line-offset . 0) (c-hanging-braces-alist . ((brace-list-open) (brace-entry-open) (substatement-open after) (block-close . c-snug-do-while))) (c-cleanup-list . (brace-else-brace)) (c-offsets-alist . ((statement-block-intro . +) (knr-argdecl-intro . 0) (substatement-open . 0) (substatement-label . 0) (innamespace . 0) (case-label . +) (statement-cont . +))))) (defun my-c-initialization-hook () (define-key c-mode-base-map "\C-m" 'c-context-line-break) (define-key c-mode-base-map (kbd "RET") 'newline-and-indent) (define-key c-mode-base-map [f7] 'run-compile)) (add-hook 'c-initialization-hook 'my-c-initialization-hook) (setq c-offsets-alist '((member-init-intro . ++))) (c-add-style "PERSONAL" *my-cc-style*) (defun my-c-mode-common-hook () (c-set-style "PERSONAL") (setq tab-width 4 indent-tabs-mode nil c-hungry-delete-key t) (c-toggle-auto-newline 1)) (add-hook 'c-mode-common-hook 'my-c-mode-common-hook)
The most useful commands for finding out which of the variables to set are
C-c C-o (c-set-offset) and
C-c C-s (c-show-syntactic-information)
This is kinda interesting where Ronnie Collinson (from the NotThinking blog)
removes the *compilation* buffer if the compile is successful. It isn't something I personally would use as I like the feedback, but I wasn't previously thinking about
compilation-finish-functions and I have a few ideas of things I would like to run after a successful compile.
Perennial Emacs Blog Topics
There are a few perennial blog topics in the emacs world – I mentioned a smooth scrolling post in my links from 2009/17 and here is Da Zhang's take (does anyone like the default behaviour by the way?). I included a link to a post on the incredibly useful mark ring in emacs-links-2009-09 and here is another from yesterday.
Proposed solutions – fix the smooth scrolling behaviour so it works nicely out of the box and… well, perhaps blogs are not a great way of educating the masses after all. Pity.

Hello, I thought it was about time I introduced myself.
I am the proud of owner of two dvorak touchstreams.
Ive been modifying my gestures and am always on the lookout for the perfect gesture.
They are pretty much centred around windows/photoshop and maya.
I have posted the xml file at the bottom of my website (in tiny writing):
sorry that I cant get a direct link to work
anyway, I would be very interested if anyone else is willing to show me their gestures and please feel free to ask me about any of the changes I have made.
I am particularly pleased with autoclick on 2 finger pointing release and
assigning alt a + numbers which correspond to my windows favourites and double up as number typing.
Five finger tap on right side also has a number of useful functions (that dont conflict with eachother usually).
Also sorting files by size, modified and between thumbnails and details feels great. My colleagues at work have no idea what I am doing when I am navigating windows without mousing !
I still have so many empty gestures to fill up and yet Ive been changing them on and off for over 2 years!
I love these keyboards and look forward to seeing what else I can get out of them!

Great food, great room, great hostess, great memories. Thanks for your hospitality, couldn't have been more relaxing.
So clean and cozy, we love it. And the food smelled so good when we woke up, even though we are not breakfast people
Holidays such as this give us the opportunity to visit parts of our great country and experience true American hospitality
Had a wonderful time relaxing in your hammock and enjoying the warm fireplace!
Very clean, quiet, and close enough to everything. The blueberry pancakes were awesome. We'll be back!
