Quantum Threats: The Next Undefended Frontier of Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity threats are evolving more quickly than most organizations can pivot to defend against them. The 2016 IDC report states that "worldwide spending on cybersecurity products and services [is expected] to eclipse $1 trillion for the five-year period from 2017 to 2021" but we still may not be combatting emerging threats in the right ways.
While we're battling against growing threats from conventional computers, quantum computers are a growing shadow on the threat landscape, and people are already starting to think about how to get ready. Quantum safe options are becoming available, and bring with them new ways of thinking about how to integrate security solutions based on fundamentally different problems. What happens to TLS? What happens to VPN? What happens to PKI? Is your business ready? What potential threats should you be evaluating in your security strategy for 2017?
In this talk, we'll cover the 360-degree view of becoming quantum resistant. What is a quantum computer? Why will it cause problems for your security systems? How do you use quantum safe security?! How does entering the quantum age impact common tools like TLS, VPN, and PKI, and what are the challenges they'll face? And most importantly, when do you need to worry?

Key Steps to Identify Risk and Master Vendor Risk Management
Apr 25 2019
5:00 pm
75 mins
Colin Whittaker with panelists from Bitsight, Lockpath.
In today's interconnected technology ecosystem, companies increasingly rely on third party vendors to meet their operational needs. However, the current state of vendor risk management (VRM) is bleak. More than half of all information security breaches are caused by third-party vendors, and according to Deloitte 83% of today's business leaders lack confidence in third party VRM processes.
Understanding and managing cyber risk posed by vendors, suppliers, and third parties has proven to be a difficult task. The right mix of people, processes, and technology result in the most effective and comprehensive program. Join this CPE accredited panel webinar as our expert panel address some key steps to master VRM, including:
- Implementing a scalable VRM program from the ground up
- Mapping the digital supply chain
- Tips on managing vendor data
- Assessing third, fourth, and fifth-party risk
- Performing quantifiable vendor security analyses
- Establishing pre-procurement standards

Implementing a NIST Framework for Adaptive Cybersecurity
Mar 21 2019
5:00 pm
75 mins
Colin Whittaker, with Sam Abadir, Lockpath; and speakers from Lynx Technology Partners and Recorded Future.
In an age where cybersecurity threats are an everyday fact of life, organizations are looking for solutions that enable them to predict, prepare and react to the shifting landscape of cyber threats, and implementation of adaptive cyber security strategies is becoming inevitable to achieve that goal.
Adaptive cyber security methods allow for the simultaneous defense of multiple attack surfaces against this new wave of advanced cyber attacks targeting businesses and services. The NIST Cybersecurity Framework enables organizations — regardless of size, degree of cybersecurity risk, or cybersecurity sophistication — to apply the principles and best practices of risk management to improving security. Attend this CPE webinar to gain insights on:
- Getting a clear picture of the current health of your organizations' defenses
- Defining your security road map using NIST CSF as a framework
- Conducting gap analysis and executing remediation actions
- Mapping the NIST CSF with security controls and built-in reporting templates that align with the framework.

Revitalizing Access Control Programs: Intelligent Automation
Mar 7 2019
6:00 pm
60 mins
Colin Whitaker, Informed Risk Decisions; Phil Shomura, Senior Product Manager, ACL
No organization's suite of business applications is static, especially for businesses that have committed to non-stop innovation. It is not uncommon for businesses to integrate only their high-impact applications with their existing identity and access management (IAM) systems. This can cause a huge surge in manual work, and oftentimes enterprises dedicate hundreds of human agents to manage accounts, adding more as new business applications are added. Enterprises can sidestep significant costs, increase efficiency, manage risk and deliver undiscovered value, by properly leveraging automation technologies across IAM systems.
Robotic process automation (RPA) is a powerful technology that harmonizes different systems across an organization's environment, reduces human errors, provides 24/7 operations, and relieves employees from repetitive tasks so they can focus on more valuable activities. For example, data quality management in the risk and compliance processs has been a traditional pain area for many institutions, as it is very time consuming and manual. However, a cognitive RPA solution which combines machine learning capabilities can enable fast automated remediation of data quality issues, and the system can learn from the final decisions taken by the data analyst as well. Attend this CPE webinar for insights on:
- Getting started with an access management program.
- Evaluating the right configuration and system-based tools to automate processes at a task level, and align to your process automation strategy.
- Leveraging advanced analytics in risk management, compliance, and continuous monitoring programs.
- Embedding governance, risk management, and controls into your enterprise's mobilization and deployment of RPA, so you can catch issues before they arise.

Rethinking the Human Risk
Feb 21 2019
11:00 am
45 mins
Flavius Plesu, Head of Information Security, Bank of Ireland (UK)
Are traditional awareness raising campaigns (e.g. CBT, phishing simulations) affording sufficient protection against ever evolving cyber-attacks? With human errors being the #1 cause of security incidents and data breaches, it is now a CISO imperative to tackle behavioural change and effectively manage the human risk. This recognised need reflects the acceptance that how the workforce behaves is dependent on the shared beliefs, values and actions of its employees, and that this includes their attitudes towards cybersecurity.
Key topics covered in this presentation:
• People-related challenges and frustrations the industry is facing
• Why a new approach to awareness and culture is required
• Innovative approaches adopted by leading organisations
Your organisation can only be secure if you make people your strongest defence. Attend this session to discuss how to turn your human risk into your biggest advantage in cyber security!
Flavius Plesu:
A business-focused cyber security leader, Flavius has held senior security positions both within the public and the private sector and has lead a number of enterprise-wide security transformation programmes, in complex global organisations. Passionate about solving real industry problems, cultivating and building teams to deliver on the organisation's mission, values and goals.
Alongside his role as a Head of Information Security at Bank of Ireland UK, Flavius is also one of the Founders of OutThink, a team of CISOs and security practitioners who are changing the way in which organisations engage with their employees to shape behaviours and manage human risk in the context of cyber security.

The one culinary credo of Boo Weekley is to never eat or drink anything he can't pronounce.
But he doesn't have to be able to spell it. "That wouldn't leave a lot," he said.
And that's why he didn't mind giving up his preferred choice of beer for what he calls — and spells — a "My Tie" when he returned to Maui for the Tournament of Champions. He could have done without that little umbrella, but he'll just add that to his list of new experiences in this wacky and wonderful life that golf has afforded.
One of the most colorful characters on the PGA Tour, he is proud to be among the 30 winners at Kapalua for the start of a new year.
Truth is, Weekley never thought he would last this long.
"That's just the way I am," he said. "I get tired of something, and then I want to go try something else."
It seems like a long time ago when the 40-year-old from the back woods of the Florida Panhandle first made it through Q-school wearing tennis shoes and rain pants (regular britches gave him a rash), and telling folk he went to ABAC (Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College), as if the acronym were as familiar as UCLA.
He didn't last but one year on the PGA Tour, and then returned to the minor leagues for four seasons before he made his way back, and this time stayed. He won at Hilton Head two straight years. He played on the Ryder Cup team in 2008, galloping off the first tee with his driver in a scene right out of "Happy Gilmore."
This is his third trip to Kapalua, and one he relishes the most.
Weekley tried to play through a shoulder injury a few years ago and it nearly cost him his livelihood. He failed to make it out of Q-school in 2011, played the following year main on sponsor exemptions and regained his card in the final event of 2012 when he tied for fifth at Disney. So to win again last year at Colonial, to make it back to the Tour Championship for the first time in six years, to book a flight to Hawaii for the start of a new year, well, he was just pleased as punch.
"It proved to myself I can come back after a drawn-out injury that could have been prevented if I would have stopped and took care of it instead of playing through it," he said, referring to a torn labrum in his left shoulder.
The idea of being forgotten was never a concern. Golf already has given him more than he expected.
Weekley was living in a trailer when he first got his PGA Tour card in 2001. His last-place finish at East Lake in September pushed his career earnings over $11 million. He now lives on five acres in Jay, Fla., not far from the 460 acres he has for hunting and fishing. He also has a couple of townhouses on the beach, and another lot near the water that he might develop. Golf paid for all that. If not for his two sons, 12 and 5, he might still be living in a trailer.
"You don't need much, just a place to keep your clothes," he said.
Weekley is as much known for what comes out of his mouth as the scores he puts on a card.
Like that first time he went to Scotland, playing at Loch Lomond ahead of the British Open at Carnoustie. He was paired one day with Paul Lawrie and while making small talk, asked him if he had qualified for the Open, unaware that Lawrie had won the claret jug in 1999.
The one regret was the time he was caught using foul language on Golf Channel during the first year of the Puerto Rico Open — he forgot the name of the tournament, referring to it as "that place Chi Chi Rodriguez is from." Weekley says he was fined, and he was embarrassed at the prospect of his grandparents and kids hearing it.
After all these years, phrases like "Thank you" and "Yes, sir" roll easily off his tongue.
Last year in a restaurant in Houston, Weekley ordered seven pounds of crawfish (as an appetizer) and ate them as easily as a bag of potato chips. While the pile of crawfish was impressive, so was the sight of his cap resting on his knee beneath the table. Weekley doesn't sit down for a meal in a restaurant wearing a cap. His parents taught him better than that.
His idol on the PGA Tour is Steve Stricker.
Weekley sees a small comparison because Stricker also disappeared from golf for several years before making his way back in a big way, rising to No. 2 in the world at one point and becoming a regular in the Ryder Cup. He's more impressed with how Stricker puts a priority on his time at home (not to mention a deer stand).
"He's somebody I'd like to follow," Weekley said. "He's always positive. We need people like that, instead of people who embellish who they are, what they want to be and who they ain't. It ain't about money out here. It's about camaraderie and respect for one another."
Weekley probably won't get to No. 2 in the world. He has never been higher than No. 23.
A decent end to 2013 moved him up to No. 54. He played three times — Malaysia, Shanghai and Sea Island. That's right — Boo does Asia. And he likes it.
Even the food.
"I ate a lot of rice," he said. "I like rice, as long as they let me put my own stuff on it. You can bring me white rice or brown rice, just let me doctor it up. Don't be putting any of that Fung-man-egg-choo stuff in there."
That's not how it's pronounced. Which is probably why he didn't want to eat it.

Brace yourself for some shiver weather this weekend.
Thanks to a strong cold front, widespread showers should move in on Thursday, followed by a cool to cold weekend, with temperatures dipping into the mid 40s across the metro areas on Saturday night and Sunday morning.
Far inland areas, notably in Palm Beach County, could see the upper 30s, the National Weather Service in Miami said.
After an abnormally warm and dry winter so far, it should be a "break in the pattern," said meteorologist Robert Molleda.
"If it gets down into the lower 40s, it would be the coldest weather so far this winter season," he said.
Thursday's forecast officially calls for mostly cloudy skies and a 50 to 60 percent chance of rain. Some areas could receive 1 to 2 inches of rain by Friday morning, but most of the region should see showers, said meteorologist Stephen Konarik.
"This will be the best chance of rain we've had in a while," he said.
Considering moderate drought conditions have developed over parts of Broward and Miami-Dade counties, the rain will be welcomed, forecasters said. Since Nov. 1, most of the South Florida has recorded 6 to 9 inches less rainfall than normal.
Cooler conditions should settle in by Friday night, when temperatures are expected to drop into the upper 50s and low 60s. Saturday afternoon should be mild with temperatures in the mid 70s while Sunday afternoon should be sunny and cool with readings in the low to mid 60s.
Sunday night and Monday morning also should be cold, with temperatures in the mid to upper 40s.
"After a cool Monday morning, we'll start to see temperatures moderate again," Molleda said.
The same cold front should chill out the rest of the state. Temperatures on Saturday night are forecast to plunge into the upper 30s in Orlando, the low 30s in Jacksonville and possibly the upper 20s in Tallahassee.

8 hacks to watch at Design West's Black Hat Summit
SAN JOSE, Calif. – Hacking has two hats—black and white—and you can try on both for size at Design West 2013.
[Click here to register for DESIGN West 2013, April 22-25 at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center. Options range from an All-Access Pass -- which includes Black Hat (security) Conference Session to Free Expo Admission].
The black hats have their own appeal, like an in-yer-face Quentin Tarantino flick, so let's get right to them. Info for white hats about hacks they need to know about will surface at the Black Hat Embedded Security Summit. This is a key element of the reinvigorated DESIGN conference program.
The Black Hat Embedded Security Summit provides electronics professionals with essential information and tools, as well as a forum for the discussion and evaluation of the latest solutions for securing their embedded systems from threats in today's global environment. This year's event program will showcase training courses focused on topics such as Network Security, Incident Response, Web Application Security, and Exploit Development. Five black hacks captured my attention when I wandered through the program. My favorite is a session on hacking your car that might have caught my eye because I have a jammed door lock on my 2004 Honda CRV.
The session Vehicle Network on Tuesday, April 23 at 3:15pm has a decidedly more high tech focus than my mundane mechanical problems. It takes it for granted that today's car is a network on wheels and goes about showing you how to perform—and prevent--a Denial of Service attack on it.
Presenter Robert Leale of CanBusHack Inc. will report on which cars he found easiest and hardest to hack. Might be worth the price of admission just to find out how your vehicle fared. As for my old buggy—even I can't get into it!

Applications are being taken for the 2009 Southwest Ginners School — set for March 30-April 1 in Lubbock, Texas.
Registration can be completed online at the National Cotton Ginners Association's (NCGA) Web site, www.ncga.cotton.org.
"The goal of these schools is to train our gin employees on the proper operation of ginning equipment with a focus on maximizing fiber quality, ginning efficiencies and safety in the gin," said Harrison Ashley, executive director of the Memphis-based NCGA, one of the schools' cooperators. He said applications also are being taken for the 2009 Western Ginners School, Las Cruces, N.M. – May 12-14; and the 2009 Stoneville Ginners School, Stoneville, Miss. – June 9-11.
Each level of Ginner Schools' coursework is built on the previous level of instruction, with Level I as the foundation. Thus, beginning students, regardless of gin experience, start with Level I.
Level I courses are: Introduction to Cotton Ginning and the Industry; Maintenance of Auxiliary Gin Components; Basic Hydraulics; Basic Gin Safety; Maintenance and Adjustments for Seed Cotton Cleaners, Gin Stands, and Lint Cleaners; Air Utilization and Drying; and Electricity in the Gin.
The Level II offerings include: Purpose and Operating Principles of Individual Gin Machines; Efficient Operation, Adjustment, and Maintenance of Gin Equipment; Pneumatics and Waste Collection; Electrical Systems; Hydraulic Systems; Gin Safety; Management Tips; and Roller Ginning (at the Western School only).
Level III features: Review of Functions of a Ginning System; Electrical Systems; Air Systems in the Gin; Drying and Moisture Restoration Systems; Matching Machinery Capacities in the System; Seed Cotton Unloading Systems and Management of Seed Cotton Handling Systems; Bale Presses and Hydraulic Systems; Safety Programs and Labor Regulations; Cottonseed Handling Systems; and Roller Ginning (at the Western School only).
In addition to Levels I, II and III, all schools will feature a two-day continuing education (CE) course.
Day one of CE coursework will include a session on the need and methods to properly match gin equipment capacities to optimize efficiencies and equipment performance. This will include the analysis of all components of the gin, from module feeder to bale press, and examine how capacity and performance can be improved. In this session, automated gin processes will be discussed to examine how these technologies could be used in a gin plant. In addition, examples of systems upgrades will be discussed by ginners and practical examples will be provided.
The second day's CE coursework will focus on fiber quality, from harvesting to ginning, with an emphasis on ginning and maximizing quality. In this session, speakers will document fiber quality trends and identify methods gins can use to affect fiber quality traits. At the Lubbock School, this will included a tour of the Fiber and Biopolymer Research Institute at Texas Tech University and a presentation from Cotton Incorporated on meeting market demands.
These CE sessions are designed for gin managers and owners, and one or both of the sessions can be chosen depending on needs. Speakers will be available to discuss specific situations and gin setups.
Along with the NCGA, other school cooperators include NCGA member associations, the USDA's Agricultural Research Service, the National Cotton Council, Cotton Incorporated, gin machinery/equipment manufacturers/suppliers, Cooperative State Research, Education and Extension Service, and select land grant universities.
Ginner school questions may be directed to Betty Thorne or Ashley at 901-274-9030.

Kansas City, MO
Style: Barrel-aged wild ale
Staff Review: Most of this beer was barrel-aged, while another portion was soured on Lactobacillus. Pours a cloudy orangish-amber. Upon first sniff, you get a cherry tartness supported by some nice oak notes. The oak isn't nearly as present on the palate. This is a tart beer from start to finish with hints of unripe navel oranges and slight tart cherry. The tartness trys to hang on but quickly gives way to a nice, dry finish. Great beer now, but given some time, could be a totally different animal.

One of your best shots, Bring her back with stockings !
Even Geeks Deserve Huge-Titted Women
Even geeks deserve huge-titted women. That's the title of this XLGirls.com adventure starring the magnificent Charlie Cooper, a full-bosomed charmer who has grabbed everyone here and straightened them out ramrod strong. And it's also an important lesson in life. Even geeks, nerds, twits, schmucks and other assorted dweebs and tools should get their share of the love that big-boobed girls are happy to bestow upon some of the men they encounter in their daily lives. Our hero is one such loser, laughed at by hot women, abused by unpleasant fellows. But there is a ray of sunshine in this dude's life and she is Miss Charlie Cooper, his office manager. Miss Cooper stops the torment and sends the two mean co-workers to lunch so she can speak to this chap. And teach him a thing or two about beautiful, huge natural tits! Like how to worship the tits, how to suck them and play with them. And then teach him how she likes to be fucked. There's a lot to be said for getting girls like Charlie to…

As I judged the video aside before - simply awesome.
In her dress Charlie looks like the naughty sister of Diane Poppos...

I SO love Charlie Cooper, she is insanely sexy. I would so love to have a session with her. She is so hot it blows my mind. This set is way hot since I love the office portrayal. The 'work' or business look is way hot. She is such a fox and my dick drools at the sight of her crazy beauty and voluptuous gorgeousness.

I love this set and wish there'd been a Charlie Cooper to introduce meto the joys of chubby lovin earlier in my life. What a babe..love her tits!
7 years ago
I love the premise, I love Charlie's outfit, and I love Charlie! There are some incredible shots of Charlie in this set, some of the best ever. My only complaint is realism. If I was fortunate enough to find my face buried between her legs it would take a crowbar to pry me loose. This dude spent very little time there, which isn't realistic to me.

Lucky bastard! Lucky lucky bastard!

Simply The BEST.
Thanks you Charlie

We'd met Jazzmine at a previous Money Talks shoot. She was coy and left shortly after we started. I guess she felt like she'd missed out on some big dick because she contacted us to do another shoot. We made sure this time she wouldn't back out by offering a handsome reward she couldn't refuse. When we all got back to the crib, she was definitely ready to have some fun. With her skirt riding high, Jazzmine jumped on the bed and started shaking that big ass of hers. She told us she needed to freshen up and went into the bathroom. We started to wonder what she was doing, so we opened the door and found her all wet and in the tub. We got the oil on her real quick, and she went to town on Jmac's cock. Then we moved back into the bedroom where mac pounded her pussy from behind like nothing else mattered. She rode his cock to get it in even deeper and was in total orgasm heaven.

Galaxy Angel PC Game: Update From Broccoli
Um, holy crap. Possibly one of the biggest pieces of niche-Japanese-game-to-English news since the release of Katamari Damacy:
They're checking on interest for one of the most unique non-ero dating sim games ever (it's equal part dating and Homeworld, which may be the greatest combination ever). What are you people still reading this for?! Go forth! Let them know! We want our proper Milfie!

Maybe try posting whenever the next Galaxy Angel TV series starts airing and we'll have better luck :P
Posting a link to the article on http://www.visualnews.net/, http://www.insani.org/index.html, and whatever else translation groups might help as well.

From what I've heard about this localization company from the Broccoli reps and from the old news that certain company looking for fan translators to work on an 'unspecified game', I don't really have a very high opinion of them right now. If they were serious about translating the game, they would've secured a translator (team) before contacting Broccoli about getting a license for the game. Plus, it seemed that they were banking on the possibility of getting cheap/free translations out of the fan community.

We already discuss this with Broccoli not long ago. We [my group site] already come with it for the next mid-flight 2007.
Our PH does translation for wide-range of languages. The last input order were givent to us is translation from English-French. English-Japanese translation might easy, but since this is not a normal translation but a widescreen translation for an enitre game, we might have a translation that differ with the real meaning.
As for Galaxy Angel II, Broccoli switched its release in 3rd quarter of 2007. This is due to translation and they may release with voice prints of English stars. For PC games, both these games are released for compatible PC game as well as PS2 console.
Every fans of Galaxy Angel series are hoped to keep patience with enw information to come. As a leader of the group, I say thanx for such topic...
Hope this'll help...

STEPHEN FERNS necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 361 diseños de 70 diseñadores freelance.
Tech Fogey is website for people in digital denial, who feel left behind by the relentless march of technological progress, who want clarity but often find confusion. My aim is to give clear, concise product reviews and buying advice that everyone can understand.
My name is Stephen Ferns, journalist. I used to write a weekly feature on gadgets for the Sunday Telegraph in the UK and have also written for the Financial Times and many other UK-based national newspapers and magazines. As a consumer I'm interested in technology only if it offers a tangible benefit. Does it make my life better or more fun? Writing about technology and consumer electronics represented a steep learning curve. Even after 5 years much of what PRs and companies send me is still baffling. I try and keep myself well-informed but the industry is HUGE and changes FAST. I have a vested interest in the subject and even I find it difficult to keep up. Maybe I'm a moron but that doesn't stop me feeling marginalised. Much of the industry seems to be an exclusive club that's only open for membership to career nerds and the most fervent early adopters. I'm a reluctant adopter or 'laggard' - great word from a Wired article on technophobes and their power in the market.
Users don't have have to be fogies - I'm the Fogey. I get annoyed that I'm being left out, excluded.
Right now the company is just me.
There are 10 million people in the United Kingdom who have never used the Internet and 5 million who've used it only once. There is also the huge mass in the middle who are neither refuseniks nor early adopters. It's this middle mass that I'm after with Tech Fogey. In many ways, though, I'm creating Tech Fogey for me. I'm nudging 50, love great technology but often feel that it doesn't love me. HD television is wonderful. I'm still blown away by mobile telephones - how can I talk to my mother in the UK when I'm in LA as clearly as if she was next door? Incredible. And Sky+. Love it. Genius. On the other hand, video games leave me cold and my mobile phone is 5 years old. So the market I'm after (see above) is far from new. Older, in fact. A friend who works for LG told me their advertising doesn't target anyone over 35. Tech Fogey only wants the over 35s. The site will principally be product reviews and buying guides but with added Fogey attitude. Tech Fogey users are smart, well-informed, age 35-100, with plenty of disposable income. They value quality, performance and competitive prices. They think they know plenty about tech but aren't sure how much they know relative to others. They have a limited appetite for bullshit.
The logo should make Tech Fogey seem more cutting edge than Apple, cooler than an HTC Hero, better-informed than Tech Crunch.
I need a multi-purpose logo that can be used on business cards, letterhead, website etc. The name - Tech Fogey - needs to be clear. Bold is good. I'm OK with an illustration or symbol as part of the Tech Fogey logo. Colour is OK so long as it doesn't detract from the name. Avoid anything that implies old-age. The site will be equally appealing to men and women. The domain names I own are http://www.techfogey.com and http://www.techfogey.co.uk. See attached file for more info.

Toyota Key Instability Problem. Here is another problem that the Toyota company has ignored. A rather strange one. The Corolla Verso and the Prius models both use the same kind of electronic key which has two separate functions: to start the engine and to open and close the door locks.
My Verso is four years old and almost from the beginning the keys malfunctioned in a strange and undesirable way. I reported this every time I took the car for service but although the dealer's service was impeccable in every other respect no notice was taken of the anomalous behaviour. They tell me no one else reports the same problem and, smiling, politely imply I am mistaken in my observations. (Or that they don't care.) I have exchanged lengthy correspondence with Toyota at local, national (Spain), European and headquarters' levels - up to and including the president's office. They are all unfailingly polite but finally unwilling to recognise the problem.
Which is that every so often the key spontaneously sends a signal to either unlock or lock the doors.. i.e. without the buttons having been pushed or even touched. In many cases it was certain that there could not have been any accidental button pushing while the key was in my pocket. Touching or stroking the plastic body of the key (away from the buttons) may sometimes have been associated with this effect which makes me suspect possibly an electrostatic influence on the internal circuit.
It is not possible to deliberately provoke the anomalous behaviour nor to predict when it will occur and it is very irregular: sometimes happening several times in a day, sometimes with a long interval between events. No apparent correlation with ambient temperature or other conditions.
There is an obvious security implication: the effect often happens when walking away after parking and locking the doors. Masked by traffic noise a spontaneous reopening may not be noticed, leaving the vehicle open, at least for a period until automatic reclosure might occur (if it occurs).
The key I am currently using shows the effect very strongly and it is obviously very unstable. The most recent instances of unprovoked signalling have occurred when walking or standing a few metres from the vehicle which had been parked unused for several hours; the key being loose and unencumbered in my pocket. In one case in fact, having just been removed from my pocket and being held loosely in my open hand, my fingers nowhere near the buttons, the key sent a signal all by itself to open the doors. On this occasion the event was witnessed by my wife (who had previously been a bit skeptical).
The first key that showed this problem many times eventually gave up the ghost and the door control stopped working altogether. (Engine start is not affected.) It was examined at the dealer's who offered no explanation, merely confirming the key was kaput. If the failure is part of the general problem and if static is the cause, the internal circuit may have been destroyed by a static charge in a similar fashion to when sensitive computer circuit boards are not handled with precautions. Obviously, in the case of a key no such precautions by the user are relevant. Another possible cause is a loose internal contact.
This failure caused two more disagreeable surprises: A) Toyota refused to recognise the failure as being covered by the (extended) guarantee. B) The price for a new key would be more than 170! ($246; £154) This reflects a rather dastardly marketing policy common to many manufacturers. It must cause great irritation to customers while having minimal effect on profits since the sale of spare keys can hardly be big business within the general scheme of things.
It is even more irritating: as an electronics engineer I'd estimate that the manufacturing cost of the Verso/Prius type of key is hardly more than a few Euros or dollars, whereas here, for less than 120, you can buy a good 22" flat screen computer monitor - which in every way is infinitely more complex. Hopefully a bit of public attention may lead to some light being shone on this matter.
ARECIBO -- My wife own a 2005 Toyota Corolla and noticed that the paint on the roof is coming off. Look that the paint they are using for the Toyota's Cars for Puerto Rico is not good and I see many cars here with the same problem. Now don't tell me is the sun because I used to own a 1990 Corolla Wagon and the paint still the same way as it was new. I believe the paint quality is not good. Toyota Motor Corporation needs to improve the paint quality or they will have to pay Toyota's customer to repaint the cars.
CLEVELAND, TENNESSEE -- I have only had my Corolla for a year and 1 month. Two months ago I was rear ended and due to the damage I was advised to not wash the vehicle until repairs could be made. Weeks passed without realizing that the bird poop could cause serious damage, considering that my vehicle is fairly new. I took my vehicle back to Toyota after all my repairs had been made to show them the damage that had been caused. The company that fixed my car assured me that the paint had a manufacturing defect because the bird droppings shouldn't have affected the paint all the way down to the primer in the amount of time in which it was exposed.
Maybe if my car had been an older car but it's not. I can't afford to get my car re painted, I'm still making payments on it. I'm so disgusted with the situation. I will never buy another Toyota or deal with the Toyota dealership in Cleveland TN. I just want my car to look like it should because it's still new.
GANSEVOORT, NEW YORK -- I had purchased a 2003 Toyota Corolla from a dealer (not a Toyota dealer). I had it only 6 months. It purred like a kitten. I had a very dangerous experience with my car. The cruise control came on and started to accelerate to a very high velocity speed with a mile distance. The brake would not disengage the cruise control. I could not stop my car and I had to jump out of my car at a speed of 20 miles an hour. I had to ride my brakes to get it to that speed so I could jump out. I got hurt somewhat and got banged up and bruised. I was terrified while having to maneuver my car. If I had children in the car we all would have been dead.
After I jumped out the car it raced to a speed of about 90 miles per hour into a field. It took a few days now to realize what had happened to me and my car. My cruise control and the mechanism that controls the disengagement of the cruise control, malfunctioned. This is a DANGEROUS malfunction. It is a 2003 and it is not that old of a vehicle. This is a serious matter!!! I pray that this does not happen to anyone else. I lost faith in the Toyota corporation!!! I would like a response back from someone in management of the Toyota Corporation ASAP!!!
Took the car in to fix the molding that the window goes up into. Got the car back and now the very next day the molding is still coming down with the window that they said they fixed. The car is just 2 months old and I asked them what they did to fix the molding and they told me it was just off track and that they put it back on. Well this didn't work and now I have to go back again today and wait around again.
BOZEMAN, MONTANTA -- No doubt about it, Toyota has lost its mojo. It used to be the best car company but now they can barely compete quality-wise with Chrysler. My last Toyota, a 2005 Corolla, had more problems than any American vehicle I have ever owned. I hear the same from people in the industry, they all say the same, "Toyota isn't what it used to be."
ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI -- I purchased my 2004 Toyota Corolla CE in the Spring of 2003, this was my first new car (it only had 3 miles on it when I took it home). The winter of 2003 the car ran terrific. The following winter (2004) I began to notice an issue - after the first minute of start up the car would idle sporadically between approx. 2800 and 3200 RPMs, this seemed to occur only when the temp. was at or below freezing outside. I took my vehicle into Feld Toyota (St. Louis, MO), and they could not get the car to duplicate the issue, or have a code come up on their computer.
My husband and I recorded the idle issue on our camcorder and took our footage to the Service Manager at Feld Toyota, the Service Manager stated he knew what the problem was, and ordered a part (the part was installed at the end of the cold season).
This winter (2005) the idle problem returned, and now Feld Toyota is telling us that there is nothing wrong with our car. My husband and I took our 2004 Corolla to Seeger Toyota (St. Louis MO) where we purchased the vehicle, and brought along our footage. The Service Manager at Seeger Toyota told us that the idle issue was not normal in his opinion, and that he would help us get to the bottom of it. The following week the same Service Manager at Seeger Toyota that stated he would help us get to the bottom of the idle issue informed us that our car was normal, and that the sporadic idle was nothing to be concerned about.
After dealing with this for two winters, and receiving the run around from Toyota my husband lost his temper (nothing violent), but he used some choice words - we were KICKED OUT of Seeger Toyota! I am extremely disappointed in Toyota all around, the dealerships that I have dealt with, and Toyota Corporate. One last thing... I know the idle issue on my 2004 Corolla is NOT normal, b/c I also own a 2005 Toyota Corolla (same model and trans.), and it does not do this.
CAPE COD, MASSACHUSETTS -- My wife and I bought 2 Toyota Corollas new in the spring of '02. At the 45,000 mile mark the rear suspension on my Corolla collapsed while driving at 20 mph on a new resurfaced Boston street. There were no potholes or obstructions and total passenger weight at the time was about 415 pounds; there was some light sailing clothing in the trunk. My Toyota service department said this failure was not at all common and attributed it to "climate but no excuses." The suspension had simply "rotted" (rusted) out. The cost to me of a new suspension system (struts and springs) was $604; Toyota has since offered me a reimbursement of $302.
I talked to a former neighbor who has been a Toyota mechanic for 20+ years. He has never seen this failure before but stated that it was certainly possible but more so in a much older car rather than in one so young. He questioned whether Toyota had properly treated the underbody before it left the assembly line. He asked if I'd seen the broken parts, and I did not. Toyota did not offer to show me, and I stupidly did not ask to see them.
At the sound of cracking metal I went from feeling secure to insecure. I no longer have faith, trust, or confidence in the product. What about the front suspension!? To me, that's suspect, too! If that fails on a highway at 60 or 65 mph what happens then!? Do I lose control of the car!? Do I jeopardize the lives of others as well as my own!?
I believe these to be serious, necessary, and relevant questions. I no longer trust my wife's car either - hers is in the same "climate." I've a sign in my car window stating what happened; I talk to every Toyota owner I can corner; I've been through a myriad of complaint websites and filed complaints in each; I've written a formal letter to Toyota USA. So far I can't find one other Toyota owner with a failure like mine. I'm very disappointed in this product. It was not worth getting on the Toyota bandwagon.
ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO -- Well I thought I was purchasing the best of the best but as you will see I will shed some light on the truth: I bought a Toyota Corolla in March 2005 thinking I was buying the "best of the best" "Primo" or "the whole enchilada." The whole problem started in March 2008 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Things start heating up in these parts, and I need air conditioning. So one day I turned on my air conditioning on my Corolla to find that oops it does not work! No problem - I spent $1,300 for extended warranty til 50,000 miles "I am good to go I thought." Well that is til I showed up at Karl Malone Toyota in Albuquerque, NM.
"Well sir your A/C condenser has rock holes in it, which by the way is not covered under your extended warranty!" Things just got worse... I called 1-800-331-4331 which apparently customer service approximately 3 times. It sounded promising at the beginning but then just got worse. They said that the mileage on my Toyota is just too high and outside the manufacturer's warranty (48K). But I have extended warranty that I spent $1,300 on which is somehow different.
Well on top of this Toyota issued a Technical Service Bulletin AC002-06 which corrected this problem only within the manufacturer's warranty which is you guessed it 3 year 36K - oh no. Well I asked how can Toyota have a known problem and not pay for some of my $590? Apparently a TSB is not a recall which is very confusing!!! So I am out on an A/C condenser which is $590 on a Toyota and you thought American cars had problems!!!

|This is what I look like when I'm blogging... honest
(c) Sarah Horrigan, 2012
So, what does it mean to me? Well, I'm lucky enough to work both in technology enhanced learning as well as being involved in the professional development of learning technologists. Over the years I've worked with plenty of them who've zinged with knowledge, enthusiasm and understanding. What makes the difference? What makes a learning technologist stand out as being a really 'good' learning technologist?
Some of it is wrapped up in how you define the role of a learning technologist at all. Just because someone has the job title of 'Learning Technologist' doesn't mean they are one, just as someone who is a Librarian or a Lecturer isn't automatically *not* a learning technologist because they lack that place holder on their CV. If you think that a learning technologist is someone who can bridge the gap between learning and technology, can translate between the two fields, can spot opportunities and help make change happen within teaching practices and importantly, understands the context of learning in which they're placed... well... there are some key attributes that people who excel in this area seem to possess.
|Image by Raymond Larose under a
CC BY-NC-ND 2.0 license
One of the biggest and best tricks a learning technologist pulls off is to go around with an open mindset. And one that actively *wants* to find out new things and to learn to do new stuff. That spirit of curiosity permeates their working life. They need to find answers. They want to see how things work. They ask questions when things don't go as expected. A good learning technologist always comes with a good dollop of curiosity. They're also...
Great learning technologists tend to be playful people. I don't mean this is the sense of a session down the local activity centre or adventure playground. But, they know that you don't just learn things first off. It takes a bit of play (and failure and a fair few mistakes) to explore and find out what something and someone can do. The very best learning technologists I know don't restrict their work to the working arena. Their 'play' leaks into everything they do. If they find something interesting to do with learning or technology out of hours, they'll play. They can't stop themselves. They just don't clock off because why would you clock off completely from something which was inherently fun? And that leads into the next attribute because you'll also find that they're...
If you're a learning technologist and you know how to make connections between ideas, people, things and beyond - I'm betting you're good at your job. Ideas aren't picked up in isolation, instead, connections are made and boundaries become elastic and movable. An ability to look inwards and outwards, to shape your perspective by bouncing ideas off others, to be open to finding out what else is going on through the myriad of connections you've made. Working openly and collaboratively is the norm. The people I know in this field who stand out - well, this is a common trait for them - as is the fact that they're...
Here's something. I bet if you care about what you do in your work it isn't enough to be passive. Sometimes you have to create opportunities, talk to people you haven't talked to before, listen and understand - and keep on keeping on even when the initial answer is 'no'. If something sounds interesting, then great learning technologists will find a way to make time to look into it. Excuses aren't good enough because trying to make learning brilliant is too important for that. This means that they're spotting trends and perservering with a new technology or approach rather than dismissing things because they're 'just not that kind of person' or they're 'too busy'. Their proactivity makes a huge difference as does the fact that they're...
The best moments I've ever had in education have been when I've been talking to someone for whom passion is like electricity flowing through their body and sparking out in conversation or presentation. Passionate people create enthusiasm. They care. They inspire. They're not ashamed to tell you they love doing something. Or that something is fantastic. The best learning technologists I know make me want to explore and do more than I'm already doing. And this passion for their field means that they're also...
This is the really big biggie of them all. If you're bridging the gap between learning and technology, academia and the technical... you have to be able to talk the language of your context. And it never stops needing to be learned and refined. Let's face it, you can't *not* do your research when you're working with people who are professional researchers. You can't do things in a sloppy fashion when you're working with those who have a keen eye for detail. You need to build evidence and underpin what you're saying with solid foundations. You need to share ideas. You need to understand. You need to analyse. And you need to know there is no end point. To be a brilliant learning technologist you are forever a learner. And you accept it.
It's funny. The best learning technologists aren't all about the technology. They're not all about the pedagogy either. They walk the line between the two and care about what they do and what they *could* do as well. And if you come across a really good learning technologist - talk to them. They'll fire you up so that you'll believe you could do anything with your teaching!

Longtime Opry Member Billy Grammer Passes Away at 85
Billy Grammer, the singer and guitarist best known for his million-selling 1959 hit 'Gotta Travel On,' passed away Wednesday after a long illness. He was 85.
A World War Two Army veteran, Grammer broke into country music only after losing his job as a toolmaker after the war. He scored big with his debut single, 'Gotta Travel On,' the first of four top 40 hits in a recording career that continued for a decade.
Even after the hits dried up, Grammer stayed active in Nashville, working as a session guitarist and sideman for a long list of artists. He was eventually inducted into the Illinois Country Music Hall of Fame, as well as the Grand Ole Opry. In fact, it was Grammer who delivered the invocation for the Opry House in 1974.
Grammer was also one of the founders of Grammer Guitar, the company that produced what he proudly called "the finest flat-top guitar on the market." The Country Music Hall of Fame agreed, inducting the Grammer Guitar in 1969.

Sims 3 Review
"Dear Slide to Play, I never thought it would happen to me. My next door neighbor Nina has been eying me ever since she caught me planting corn in the back garden in my summer shorts. She's tall, has dark hair and brown eyes, and I'm a gorgeous blonde with a great figure. The other day, I had her over to show off my brand new Eastern-style bathtub, and next thing I know, we're making sweet WooHoo. That's when we called over our other neighbor Maggie, whose husband John was out of town'¦"
Meet interesting new people and hit on them.
iPhone games have never been quite this scandalous. The potential for making mischief in Sims 3 is something we haven't seen before, and whether you play as a skanky homewrecker or a goodie two-shoes, you'll definitely have a unique opportunity to explore boundaries in this social simulation. Managing friends and lovers is a major part of the gameplay, and next to the other activities in the game like cooking, fishing and gardening, it's the most fun you'll have.
By comparison, the rest of daily Sims life is pretty mundane. You'll wake up, go to your job (which is represented in the game as little more than a daily paycheck), and spend the rest of your hours managing your needs and wants. You'll have to click on the toilet and shower to freshen up, and make yourself meals or visit a restaurant to stay fed.
Sims 3 has no storyline. Instead, a series of goals will randomly occur to your Sim like, "Hey, I've always wanted to kick over the trash can on the corner." These random tasks are the only concrete direction the game gives you. Otherwise, you're on your own.
This is a dirty, dirty game.
Two of the goals are unique to your personality; for example, a sleazy Sim will want to make WooHoo eight times a day and juggle three relationships at once. While the 73 general goals provide a bit of outside motivation, you can't manage the order in which they're received. You also can't delete a goal once you commit to it, and the only way to clear it off your list is to achieve it. You can save up to four goals at once, even though some of them can be difficult to achieve early on in the game.
Some of the goals are achieved by maintaining relationships, while others come from outside activities. Fishing, repairs, and cooking have their own minigames, and these fit very well into the overall feel of the game. Fishing and cooking specifically use the iPhone's motion controls, so you can yank a fish out of the lake or shake your pots to cool them down on the stove. However, these activities can be maxed out pretty quickly, and we would have liked to see more advanced degrees of difficulty.
The game's detailed graphics, with its deep character customization, are some of the best yet on the system. What keeps Sims from being a must-have for everyone is the scatterbrained goal system, which is too random and unmanageable to make progress clear for your Sim. If you're willing to use your imagination to create complicated social scenarios, Sims 3 can be a lengthy and interesting investment. At its best, Sims 3 is daring fun.

Steamboat, Hot Pot, Shabu Shabu: Like Fondue, But Better
But when it comes to eating with friends, steamboat and its fondue-like process can be a ton of fun. Take a look at a steamboat meal we just shared with some good friends.
Steamboat is also known as hot pot, or shabu shabu. It's a meal where you heat a big bowl of broth until it's boiling, then float various goodies in it to cook. Everyone takes a turn putting in a handful or this or that, then you scoop out the cooked food and eat it with plenty of hot sauce.
The steamboat itself is a big divided pot that sits on a tabletop gas burner. My friend heated broth on the stove then poured it into the pot. (It's divided so that you can use two different sorts of broth in one meal, or keep spicy food divided from un-spicy food.)
We had piles and piles of good things on the table, waiting to be cooked. There were pea shoots, watercress, shiitake mushrooms (so meaty and delicious!), chopped beef, fish balls, meatballs of ground beef, tofu and fish cakes, creamy tofu, egg dumplings, cabbage dumplings, squid pieces, and fresh ocean shrimp.
Over the course of several hours we took turns putting in different foods. The beef would take a little longer to cook; the pea shoots would take a few seconds. We mixed up little bowls of hot Chinese sauce, with plenty of Sichuan pepper in it apparently, sesame oil, and soy sauce, for dipping.
The broth in the hot pot makes everything so tasty and savory; it gets rich and condensed as it boils away on the top of the table, and we would sip small amounts of it too, with noodles.
Overall, this was an absolutely fantastic meal to have with friends. Doing the cooking all together and eating out of the same pot feels both primitive and connecting. Plus you eat food that is hot! And slowly cooking food, eating it as it comes out, and having a long, leisurely meal filled with chatter and conversation is one of the best ways I can think of to spend an evening.
Have you ever had steamboat?

Marquelle Dent could be playing basketball at UCLA. Or Arizona. Or Oregon. Or Utah.
They all wanted her. But she only wanted to be here at the University of Wyoming.
The daughter of Sean Dent, who earned the nickname "The Prince of Pilfer" during a brilliant playing career in which he helped lead the UW men's team to a pair of trips to the NCAA Tournament, is regarded as one of the Cowgirls' finest recruits in Joe Legerski's 10 seasons as head coach, a dynamic leader who blends smarts and skills.
Sort of like, well, her dad.
"I've learned almost everything about basketball from him, especially since we both play the same position," Marquelle says. "What he's taught me is pretty much what I do."
It should come as no surprise, then, that the fresh-faced point guard is a remarkable passer with quick hands. Though a capable scorer—she averaged 12.1 points per game during her senior season at Regis Jesuit High in Aurora, Colo.—Dent earned her spot as one of Colorado's top prep players by displaying the same attributes that made her father one of the best players in UW history.
As the floor general for Cowboy teams headlined by Fennis Dembo and Eric Leckner, Sean Dent established UW career records for assists (502, including a single-season record 183 in 1986-87) and steals (249, including a single-season record 93 in 1985-86) during the program's most recent heyday, a three-year stretch that included 74 victories, highlighted by 1987 tournament wins over Virginia and UCLA.
In leading the Raiders to a 22-5 record during her senior season—Regis Jesuit advanced to the state semifinals in Colorado's largest classification— Marquelle Dent averaged 8.5 assists and 4.1 steals per game to earn first-team all-state accolades.
"I think Marquelle has some of the same tendencies as her dad. But she's going to set her own path, there is no doubt. She is her own person," says Legerski, who became the school's winningest coach when the Cowgirls beat Pepperdine on Nov. 24. "She understands the game, she is a leader on the court, she knows who to get the basketball to, and she wins. When you put that together, along with her personality, we knew we needed to have her in our program."
They knew for a while, too. As a youngster, Marquelle was a regular at Cowgirl basketball camps—Legerski says she first caught his eye as a seventhgrader— before the Dents moved from Laramie to the Denver area prior to her freshman season.
Though Dent was heavily recruited by schools across the West, including UW's Mountain West Conference rivals Colorado State and New Mexico, Dent says she always wanted to return to Laramie and play for the Cowgirls.
Twenty-four years after Sean Dent last donned the brown and gold, Marquelle made her UW debut against Dakota Wesleyan in an October exhibition game inside the Arena-Auditorium. She's not shying away from her father's legacy, either: Marquelle wears the same number, 10, as he did during his playing days.
"I had other schools recruiting me, but this one just always stuck to my heart," says Dent, who was in attendance at the Double-A on the night UW won the Women's National Invitation Tournament in 2007, the crowning achievement in Legerski's coaching tenure. "As soon as I came here on my visit, I just felt like I should be here." So does Legerski.
"There was only one place for Marquelle ever to be—and she is here," the coach says. "And we're just excited that Marquelle is part of this Cowgirl basketball program, and we know she's going to do amazing things in her time here."
