Astronomers are preparing to reveal the first images of our galaxy's supermassive black hole (or, more accurately, the area immediately around it, since the hole pulls in all light and matter).
The image, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope, will show the black hole at the center of the Milky Way, and will be shown in a press conference beginning at 9am ET (2pm BST) on April 10. When the conference begins, you will be able to watch the live stream below.
The black hole at the center of the Milky Way, Sagittarius A, is 26,000 light years away from Earth and shrouded in dust and gas. Until now, our knowledge of it has been based on inferences rather than direct observation.
Despite its name, the Event Horizon Telescope is actually a collection of eight radio telescopes located around the world, precisely co-ordinated using highly accurate atomic clocks. Together, they effectively creating a global observatory.with the power to let us observe Sagittarius A for the first time.
This will be a groundbreaking moment for the scientific community, testing predictions based on the Theory of General Relativity.
Black holes, by their nature, are impossible to see with the naked eye since they are so dense that no light can escape them. Instead, any images that will be released will be the silhouette of a black hole, an outline against all of the super bright, hot gas that is thought to surround these weird celestial objects. It will be as close as we can get to a picture of a black hole's infamous "event horizon," the boundary of a black hole where the gravitational pull is so great that there is no escape.
Matter pulled in by the black hole is believed to settle in a disc-like formation (the accretion disc), moving faster and becoming hotter as it draws closer to the event horizon, creating light. This light is expected to bend around the event horizon to create a lopsided, glowing ring, which researchers are hoping to see for the first time.

Broadband Technology Report (BTR) Talks InGeNeOS
BTR recently featured CableLabs working group, InGeNeOS, and what they're working on. The focus of this group is how to use network operation tools and techniques from the DOCSIS data. The idea is to use the DOCSIS data information in solutions that can identify, diagnose, and sometimes automatically correct network problems proactively.
The InGeNeOS group has proposed many different solutions for how to make use of these data elements and how to solve some of the most service-impactful operations problems that cable operators deal with.
Currently, the InGeNeOS group is working on identifying and documenting methods that will allow operators to take data and create tools; or manually use the data to perform maintenance or operations tasks.

Yeah, so remember that time when I worked on a 4+ hour Marathon playlist and my mp3 player decided to stop working at Mile 14?
Well, it really wasn't too bad. I mean, running without music is no big, but racing – kinda a different story! Luckily for me, I was able to entertain myself with random thoughts and inner dialogue. But if you aren't as
imaginative crazy as me, here are some suggestions that came from all around the interwebz, my iTunes and previous running mixes that would eventually become my #RunRichmond playlist:
So, there ya have it, 79 songs = 4.8 hours of a randomness. A majority of these tracks will make the transition over to my next training cycle, but some will be moved/updated as necessary.
What kind of music do you prefer to run to? Does it match your 'usual' preferred genre?

Losing data can be a scary experience. Tom Merritt offers five helpful tips for creating a data recovery plan.
Hard drives die—it happens all the time—but what can you do? You can try to recover that data. Or better yet: Plan ahead so you don't have to fret. Start thinking about the inevitable now—don't wait for the bad stuff to happen. Here are five data recovery tips.S
- Have backups: I know, I'm like your mom nagging you to clean your room, but if you have backups, data recovery just becomes so much less stressful. In the worst case, you lose only a small amount of data. Oh, and make sure you know where the backups are.
- Have a plan: It's better to know what you're going to do before you have to do it. Create a recovery plan and regularly test the effectiveness of it. If the drive is already dead, it's still a good idea to map out your strategy so you don't get flustered and make the problem worse.
- Try a dead drive in other machines: Sometimes mounting a drive externally through USB or even Firewire does the trick. It may seem silly, but I've seen it work more than once. And if it does work, make sure you get the data off it before you unmount it. I know it sounds obvious, but still… .
- Get data recovery software: Free software like Recuva and TestDisk, or paid programs like FileSalvage or SpinRite, might be exactly what you need.
- Call in the pros: DriveSavers or Ontrack are expensive, but they are legendary at recovering data from burned, drowned, or otherwise devastated drives.
See? Don't you feel better? It's like insurance, but cheaper.

About Stormwater
The term
stormwater refers to surface water that flows across the land into creeks, rivers, and lakes. Surface water is a precious resource, especially in Texas because it is the primary water supply for most cities. Our stormwater in Frisco will eventually enter into water supplies for other cities who provide drinking water to 5.3 million people.
Stormwater Regulations
The City Stormwater Discharge Ordinance was adopted to comply with the TCEQ MS4 Permit. This required the development of a Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) (PDF) to protect water quality to the maximum extent practicable. The Stormwater Utility Fee was established to provide funds necessary to meet the regulatory requirements.
The permit required the SWMP to include six minimum control measures. These are:
- Public Education, Outreach and Involvement
- Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
- Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control
- Post Construction Stormwater Management
- Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations
- Industrial Stormwater Sources
Homeowner Associations (HOAs)
Many HOAs have maintenance responsibilities for common areas that include ponds, creeks and other stormwater features. The Stormwater Division published Maintenance Guidelines (PDF) for HOAs and other land managers to understand the best management practices for these features.
How You Can Protect Stormwater
You should be aware of these common pollutants and how you can help:
- Fertilizer - Should be applied at appropriate rates or consider organic fertilizers
- Hazardous Household Chemicals - Should be disposed of properly
- Herbicides and Pesticides - Use only when necessary and consider natural alternatives
- Pet Waste - Must be removed in parks and should consider yard cleaning
- Pool / Spa Water - Allow water to dechlorinate for 3 days before discharging
- Sediment - Vegetate or mulch bare soil and protect dirt piles from washing away
- Trash / Litter - Should not leave outside where it can be moved by wind or water
- Vehicle Fluids - Should take precautions to not spill and dispose of properly
- Yard Waste - Dispose of grass clippings and leaves appropriately or consider composting
Stormwater Fee Credits
Non-residential property managers have opportunities to improve stormwater quality. For this reason the Stormwater Fee Credit program (PDF) was developed to encourage implementation and maintenance of activities and structures that improve stormwater quality.
Commercial and Industrial Activities
You may be required to obtain Multi-Sector General Permit coverage from TCEQ. To ensure you are in compliance please check the TCEQ Small Business and Local Government Assistance website. Those who obtain coverage under that permit can electronically submit the required MS4 notifications to email MS4.
Construction Activity
Before beginning a construction project you should check the requirements of the Stormwater Ordinance and the 2018 General Permit to Discharge under the Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System. Those who obtain coverage under that permit can electronically submit the required MS4 notifications by emailing MS4. View the Guidelines for SWP3 and Erosion Control Plan Preparation (PDF) in Frisco.
How Community Organizations Can Help
If your organization needs a speaker or topic for an upcoming event, email the Stormwater Manager.

MY BLOG IS BACK. I wrote about my full-time RV life, my time-travel excursions to other centuries, and whatever else came to hand, for a decade. Took 2017 off from blogging completely. OK, vacation's over. New crafts. New states colored in on the map. Retired. Sold the big motorhome. Traveling light and lean (for me ;) ) in a minivan. Still changing yards regularly. So hello - listen to some music, read some adventures. ~ Gypsy Jane

Gypsy 1 - Stuff 0
I am determined to win the battle of STUFF. I could fit in this rig - or a camper van, for that matter - except that I have interests that require materials and tools and... I do music. I read. I make jewelry. I knit. (I do other things, too, but the Stuff for those things has been relegated to storage, which is a different can of worms entirely.) So I have instruments and music books and beadwork tools and beads - lots of beads - and a bunch of knitting needles and a small stash of yarn and a to-be-read pile that is unfortunately not entirely Kindle books.

Eye Glasses
Quick post: do you wake up and fumble for your glasses? I have solved that problem in my motorhome. Just put a hook on the wall at the head of the bed and remember to hang your glasses on it when you take them off.

Father Bill & MainSpring's newly constructed housing project for the homeless has received a $9,500 donation from Jack Conway, Realtor. Montello Welcome Home Again, a three-story residence in Brockton, contains 23 efficiency apartments for previously homeless individuals, with 12 units prioritized for U.S. military veterans.
John Yazwinski, president and CEO of FBMS, thanked Conway CEO and president Carol Bulman for her firm's donation to Montello Welcome Home Again, which is located across the street from Jack's Place, a three-story residence for the homeless named for the late Jack Conway. Patti's House, a FBMS duplex nearby, was named for Bulman's mother, Patricia Conway, who co-founded Brockton's MainSpring House shelter in 1982.
"The Jack Conway Company continues to be an angel to our organization," Yazwinski said. "The longtime support from its charity golf tournaments have literally moved thousands of families out of homelessness."

One of my college professors gave me the best advice on youth ministry I have ever received. He told me "anytime you have a cabin full of middle schoolers make sure you bring a 20 pack of deodorant, it will be the best 40 dollars you ever spend." This past weekend we brought 51 people to middle school camp. That piece of advice haunted me all weekend.
Deodorant aside, this was the first time we split up our middle and high school students for camp. It brought out a unique camp dynamic. This camp truly birthed a hope and burden amongst myself and our youth staff. Middle schoolers are great because they exude a hope and optimism for the future. They haven't quite been tainted by the world, in the way that many high schoolers have been. Their hope and passion for the future is contagious. However, for anyone attempting to disciple this unique age range, there is an immense burden that accompanies this hope. There is a burden for them to know and experience Jesus before the ugliness of the world comes into full view. There is a burden to take advantage of these three short years where they are pliable to respond to the Gospel. There is a burden to build a strong foundation before the building blocks of life are stacked higher and higher. My prayer after this middle school camp is that our students would walk away with hope, and our leaders would walk away with a burden. A burden to see middle schoolers know Jesus.
The biggest win from this camp is that we are baptizing seven middle schoolers on Easter Sunday. A few of them have a Christian background. A few of them have never stepped into a church before 2015. Below are a few pictures from the camp. We had a blast! However all the fun and games had a very specific goal in mind: to create space in the hearts of middle schoolers for the gospel.

On today's show, which is a solo show David Ralph talk about inspiration.
The lack of it, having it in abundance, and those occasions when it appears at the strangest moments but gives you the boost to keep going.
Just recently David was sitting watching TV wondering what he was going to do with Join Up Dots.
You see from the outside it may look like everything is worked out to perfection, but more often than not the truth is very different.
More often than not you wander through a world of confusion looking for inspiration to set a goal, and hit one out of the park.
This came in the form of a listener of Join Up Dots from the United States, Jason Sumner from Nevada, Missouri who connected on Facebook.
Jason is one of those amazing people who wants more from life, and is focused on getting it by helping people everywhere with shi positivity and mindset.
Multiple times a day he is posting great content into his Facebook page, and everything is focused on "Good vibes, and keep going" messages.
He is also targeting himself to read 52 books this year on personal development, success and life changing stories of achievement.
What is even more amazing is not only is he trying his hardest to make a difference to himself and the world, he is also raising two lovely happy boys who know have inspiration in front of them every single day.
He is leaving alegacy on his own kids by showing them a different way of operating.
How to keep ones personal good vibrations at a high level to ensure life opportunities come your way.
So in this episode David talk about inspiration, and what to do when it has disappeared from you.
And of course he gives a virtual high five to Jason Sumner, for keeping it real and going for it, even though the path may not seem overly clear and defined
Welcome to another episode of Join Up Dots

with Kathy Colt
Kathy Colt is an Atlanta-based textile and fiber artist. While working towards a degree in Landscape Architecture in the early 1990's, she began exploring cloth and fiber in earnest. Since that time she has continued to create with textile and fiber techniques, including nuno felting and cloth surface enrichment (most recently for her small, seasonal apparel line, Petal-una Collection). A keen student of dye-alchemy, Kathy's work with natural dyes began in 2013 while briefly studying with Catharine Ellis, and natural dyes have now become an important component of her studio practice. Kathy has taught workshops and presented on a variety of topics including nuno felting, surface design on cloth, indigo dyeing, sustainable studio practice, and "slow" textiles.

JOE PASQUALE is a household name as a comedian: he enhanced his reputation by winning TV's I'm A Celebrity! Get me Out Of Here in 2004, and now he's the star of Monty Python's hit show Spamalot.
Things you may not know about Joe Pasquale include he is studying for a degree in geology, he started running late in life and completed the London Marathon at 50, he gained his pilot's licence, and he's now a regular boxer…
The Essex-born comic says he grasped life by both hands after coming out of the I'm A Celebrity jungle because the experience changed him so much.
"In the past I wasted a lot of time, but when you're forced to waste time it makes you think," says Joe. "I only found that coming out of the jungle and I thought 'If you can jump out on a plane you should be able to'.
"So, I learned to fly, got my pilot's licence after eight months. There were all these exams to pass and I realised I could pass them, even though I never passed any exams at school.
"Then I thought I'd do a degree. I live in Grays in Essex and ever since I was a kid I liked finding fossils in the mud and it stuck with me.
"I've got 210 points and you need 300 for the Open University degree. I love it! You spend so much time in this business hanging about. You might be on stage for two hours a day, the rest of the time you're just sitting there.
"How many times can you go round the shops or waste time playing video games?" Joe's activities also spread to running, boxing and, er, climbing volcanoes.
"I started running and did the London Marathon when I was 50. It took five hours and 50 minutes, but I did it," he explains. "I've been to Peru and climbed volcanoes – and I also took up boxing.
"I've never had a fight in my life, but I wanted to try it. I go sparring two or three times a week…it hurts, yeah it does hurt. There's a few coppers go to the gym from the Met. It's good – you can punch a copper and not get done for it!"
The burst of mid-life activity was all spurred by his weeks in the jungle for I'm A Celebrity and he explains: "As a TV viewer you only see an hour a day which Ant and Dec make look like fun, but the reality is there's another 23 hours where nothing happens.
"Your world gets smaller and smaller and the smallest thing becomes important to you. Someone sniffing can seem very loud, especially if it's every five minutes.
"Also, you're hungry and tired and thirsty and then they give you a bit of booze and your tongue loosens. They want you hungry and tired and ready to argue. If everybody is comfortable, they won't get wound up.
"They edit hours of footage down to minutes to make it look like you had a big row. No-one seems to appreciate that. "In the end all you want is clean pants, you don't realise how good clean pants feel…"
Joe is also currently enjoying a new lease of life in the theatre, in the role of King Arthur in Spamalot – and, as a childhood Monty Python fan, he's loving it.
The comedy musical, created by Python legend Eric Idle, tells the legendary tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table and features a bevy (or possibly a brace) of beautiful show girls, cows, killer rabbits and French people.
The witch burning may have been cancelled due to health and safety but it features loads of songs including He is Not Dead Yet, Knights of the Round Table, Find Your Grail and of course the classic Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life.
"It's genius writing," says Joe. "If you do what it says in the script, it works every time. The songs are great too.
"My dad never used to like Monty Python so I was never allowed to watch it unless he was on nights, so I used to see it every other week.
"But I remember being 13, going to see Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I sat there with my mate Kev and cried and cried with laughter, it just appealed to my sense of humour.
"Now I'm saying those lines on stage and getting laughs – it doesn't get better than that!"
MONTY PYTHON'S SPAMALOT is at the New Victoria Theatre, Woking, from Monday (March 9) until Saturday, March 14.

Valor is the Cru ministry for college and high school ROTC cadets and midshipmen, veterans on college campuses, and cadets at foreign military service academies.
Valor has three objectives: to WIN cadets/midshipmen/veterans to Christ, BUILD and strengthen their faith, and SEND them to reach others.
The purpose of Valor on your campus is to launch a movement where the Gospel captures hearts, transforms lives, and launches future leaders and experienced veterans into a lifelong adventure with Christ. The core of a movement is you and a friend or two (or more) coming together to live in authentic Biblical community. That community will be defined with a few basic principles: Devotion to Christ and His Word, Authentic Relationships, and Partners in the Great Commission.
Valor doesn't replace or detract from the training and experience you get if you are at an academy or if you are in a commissioning program like ROTC, and it does not detract from your college experience if you are a veteran or future foreign military officer. Instead, Valor enhances discipline, integrity, devotion, and resilience.
Valor usually consists of weekly Bible studies, periodic social activities, and weekend retreats with Cru on your campus or with cadets/midshipmen or veterans in your region. All activities are voluntary and will be planned to not interfere with ROTC or other school activities as much as possible.
Check out The Strategic Nature of Valor.
Visit our website to download resources, including bible studies, surveys, posters, vision & planning documents, and other helpful tools for launching and leading a Valor movement on your campus.

THE southern African region is expected to receive normal to above normal rainfall during the next rainy season.
This was disclosed during the 18th southern Africa regional climate outlook forum in Namibia that was held late last month where a consensus climate outlook for the 2014/15 rainfall over the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region was presented.
SADC secretariat communications and awareness expert for water sector Barbara Lopi said in a statement released yesterday that the southern African region would receive normal to above normal rainfall between November 2014Â and January 2015.
Ms Lopi said, however, that Mauritius, the northern Democratic Republic of Congo and northern Madagascar are more likely to receive normal to below-normal rainfall.
"The outlooks are presented in overlapping three monthly periods as follows: October-November-December, November-December-January, December-January-February and January-February-March,†Ms Lopi said.
The rainfall outlook was formulated by climate scientists from the SADC National Meteorological and Hydrological Services and the SADC Climate Services Centre.
Others who had an input in this report were from other global climate prediction centres, European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecast, International Research Institute for Climate and Society, India and Bureau of Meteorology, among others.

If they're successful they will be rewarded with $20,000 worth of new classroom technology in the Samsung 2018 Solve for Tomorrow Challenge. They may also get to run the entire length of the school gym without hitting a wall.
The 25-year-old Catholic school for about 500 students from Kindergarten to Grade 8 is one of 50 regional finalists across Canada competing for one of four Solve for Tomorrow grants.
The regional finalist status caught Grade 8 science teacher Richard Wagner by surprise. He entered the contest on a whim, thinking the students might be able to tackle one of the stickiest problems inside their own school — the movable gym wall.
It seems like every year the motorized, sliding wall breaks down and the school spends weeks waiting for repair, unable to hold assemblies or sports events using the full gym.
"I thought, you know we pay to have this repaired each year. I wonder what the overhead cost is of that compared to outright buying a new wall," Wagner told The Catholic Register.
So he's got his young engineers in training looking at friction, force, gravity and the weight of the wall.
"How much friction is there? Is there anything being done to reduce the friction?" Wagner has asked the kids.
The students are visiting other schools with similar moving walls to compare designs and identify mechanisms that make the wall move and problems movable wall designers have to overcome.
As finalists, the students received a 360-degree camera, a tablet and a smartphone from Samsung to help them create a two-minute virtual reality presentation which should demonstrate the problem and how they would use science to solve the problem. Wagner spent a weekend with the new equipment learning how it worked, from shooting video from every angle all at once to downloading and editing the resulting file. Then he handed it over to his 12-year-old students.
"Kids seem to pick up on it so quickly," Wagner said. "It took me a weekend of trying to figure that all out."
Wagner doesn't worry about the giant Korean tech company worming its way into his classroom, marketing their products.
"No more so than Google or any other innovative company."
Most of his students have their own smartphones and tablets. Rather than future consumers, he sees his students as digital natives already swimming in an ocean of constantly evolving technology.
"Really, students have the answers to our future problems. This type of technology gives them the tools they need to express those answers and think of those answers," Wagner said.
The regional winners of the competition will be announced June 4.
Kitchener students build a wall to break barriersBy Michael Swan, The Catholic Register
- May 8, 2018
The kids at St. Kateri Tekakwitha Catholic Elementary School in Kitchener, Ont., are breaking down walls with science, or more accurately, one particular wall in the middle of their school gym.
If they're successful they will be rewarded with $20,000 worth of new classroom technology in the Samsung 2018 Solve for Tomorrow Challenge. They may also get to run the entire length of the school gym without hitting a wall.

Trials of Love: 6 Ways To Make Arguments Productive
If you're in a serious relationship, arguments will certainly come and go. But what happens when you finally say something that you can never come back from? Was there a way to avoid it beforehand? Could you have made that argument actually productive and learn something new from it?
The answer is yes. There is always room to grow and to learn from our mistakes. Check out these 6 ways to make everyday arguments productive:
1. Listen for understanding, not just to respond.
When you're arguing with your significant other, things can go downhill real fast. Each person already knows each other's faults, insecurities, and past. But those are the very things that will cut them deep. Next time you get into an argument, listen for understanding and not just to respond.
If you're listening just to reply with an even harsher comeback, the argument will never end. If they're saying "you always leave the toilet seat down". If you listen to

Tim Sassoon compares XL lenses in DV Magazine
In this month's edition of DV Magazine (July 2006), Tim Sassoon has a fairly comprehensive article which compares the stock 20x HD lens with the manual 16x SD lens on the XL H1. The article describes how he shot an ISO12233 widescreen res chart at a variety of focal lengths from full wide to full tele and a variety of aperture values with both lenses. Tim provides an excellent technical explanation of the various real-world differences between these lenses, and how aperture values affect chromatic abberation and other distortions. It's a very well written piece. If you're not a subscriber to DV Magazine (it's free if you fill out a marketing info form on the CMP site, or you can find it in most of the larger chain bookstores), then you can catch this article on the dv.com site in the near future.

Well that is kinda disapointing to see. I didn't expect the lens to be so riddled with CA. I'd really like to see how it is on actual footage and not on a rez chart. I am sure it is there but maybe much less noticable.
Anyone have any actual images from the 16x lens vs. the 20x? I hope in real world use it is not that severe.

I had been hearing such good things about the 16x manual on the H1 I picked one up used for a good price. I won't be actually getting my H1 until after I finish my move and have all the closing finanaces dealt with. So I will be staring at a lens with no camera! Until I read that article I was thinking I'd be saying "man is this gonna rock!" NOw I'm afraid I'll be saying....What kind of screwed up looking footage amd I gonna get with this?

Naw, sorry Chris, I'm super busy this week so won't be doing any shooting. Haven't even read Tim's article yet. I do still have a some homemade static rez chart shots on my personal web site that compare the 20x HD, 20x SD, and the 3x:
Hmmm, I see it is getting to be a while since I updated my web site. Every week I think next week will be less busy. So maybe I'll update my site next week. ;-)

Re: Tim Sassoon's 20X vs 16X lense article - excellent study but I have to disagree with his report that the 20x servo focus is not repeatable. We have our H1 w/20x lense set up with a Chroziel follow focus and find no trouble setting focus marks and pulling repeatable focus. Is anyone else having trouble pulling focus to a mark?

I hate hate hate reviews based on charts, graphs and white papers. There are have been a million silly flame wars started over a statistic.
The real proof is in the pudding. Go out and rent a camera and rent a lens and shoot something REAL. Something characteristic of what you're going to use the system for. Then judge the equipment based on those results.
I've used the 3x SD lens on the H1 on several occassions with very pleasant results. If I listened to everyone on these boards or focused too much on a chart I would have never considered it. The consesus was the 3x lens is AWEFUL!
I have some footage posted on my blog using this "unacceptable" lens.
Panavision C-series anamorphic lenses suffer from extreme lens flaring, hyper breathing and fierce barrelling. There are cinematographers and director's to this day that still prefer shooting with those lenses because of their 'character' and 'flaws'. Those lense are FAR from perfect.
I guess what I'm saying is that absolute perfection in optics is not always the best solution. In the case of CA, it's about whether or not the lenses are affordable and still acceptable.

Somewhere in the past -- I ain't gonna bother finding the thread -- I said I had briefly tested this combo and found the lens to be too soft, impossible to focus. I made a serious mistake! I had neglected to perform the Flange-Back operation, which properly sets back-focus for any XL series lens, a handy feature of the XL H1. No wonder my tests were soft! Everything I said about it at the time, is dead wrong. I'm going to re-post some 3x examples and show you guys just how good it is. Unless somebody wants to offer their own clips and stills -- I'm happy to host them here.
Lesson learned: always always perform the Flange Back adjustment when changing XL lenses (you can store a number of FB settings in the camera's memory too, a very useful feature of the XL H1).
Thanks Robert (how did I miss you at the XL H1 Road Show in Los Angeles?),

Thanks Chris. One of the first things my cinematographer did was take all three of our lenses and perform flange back procedures. Apparently the H1 remembers the lenses and readjusts itself according to which one is installed. Very clever of Canon to do this.
Now I don't want to give the impression that the 3x lens is perfect. It's far from it. And I haven't done any filmout tests or large scale projection of images produced with this lens. But based on viewing on a 23" cinema display and a 50" plasma, I'm very happy with the result.
Yes there is some softness in the far edges of the corners. But the rolloff is very even and nice. There is a little CA in high contrast areas (such as street lamps in the distance), but it's acceptable.
Again, I find the lens appropriate for some situations and I find the lens' quality to be commersurate with it's price.

I got my XL-H1 finally and was able to shoot a little with the 16x manual lens. It was indoors under normal house lighting so I had to have the iris wide open the entire time. I can say that the footage looked pretty darn good. I didn't notice any.....I repeat...any chromatic abberations at all....they may be there but a casual viewing showed none so most wouldn't notice it.
I didn't have time to compare to the 20x HD lens directly. The image may be slightly softer....maybe. In my opinion it still looked much sharper than my old HVX200 and performed like a frickin champ in this short "available light" test. The HVX would never have been able to deliver a good picture in this lighting without noise issues.
I am very happy with the H1 so far.

I had a feeling you'd like that combo, Marty! Now you can just get busy and not worry about resolution, noise or a "spongey, wet cabbage" lens.
Let us know how things go.

In 1817, Silas O. Smith purchased ninety wooded acres outside of the growing pioneer village of Rochesterville, on the country road to the distant village of Pittsford. He had come to the frontier from Massachusetts in 1810 and set up as a dry goods merchant. In 1838, Smith began work, with the architect/builder Alfred Badger, upon what would become the grand statement of his success and his place in the society of the growing city. He and a few other leading citizens decided to forsake the fashionable streets of the Third Ward for the spacious woodlands east of town. Badger was from Portsmouth, NH and he and Smith found inspiration for Smith's new house amongst the finest houses of their former homes in New England. By 1844, three beautiful Greek Revival houses, the Pitkin house across the street, the Ericson-Perkins house, now the Genesee Valley Club, to the west, and the Smith house, became the foundation for what would become the city of Rochester's most beautiful thoroughfare, and would inspire the mansions that would come to line East Avenue. Smith named his new home Woodside for its location on his ninety wooded acres.
The name is perhaps no longer literally fitting but it accurately connotes the elegant tranquil ambiance that this extraordinary architectural treasure creates through both its exterior and interior design. Thoroughly and lovingly renovated and modernized, Woodside's architectural integrity and beauty remain while offering the comfort and lifestyle of all new mechanics and contemporary conveniences.
Viewed from East Avenue, the house still makes the impressive statement in rich architectural language that Silas Smith intended 180 years ago. The successive balustrades accentuate the great height of the structure drawing the eye up to the most distinctive exterior feature, the round pepper mill cupola. Here the windows are obscured behind decorative iron grilles in an enormous entablature. Former University of Rochester Professor of Fine Arts, Carl K. Hersey, wrote in his study of Woodside, "the house epitomizes in style, proportions, and detail the spirit of the Greek Revival at its best." The classical detailing and the spectacular architectural statement has been restored and remains true to the original design.
Inside, each of the three floors is bisected by a central hall. These halls hold the graceful curving staircase that morphs to a sharply rising spiral when it leaves the third floor for the cupola. This much-photographed staircase is monumental, imposing and, at the same time, light and almost whimsical.
The first-floor rooms are grandly luxurious, fourteen-foot high ceilings; ten-foot doors, four-inches thick; moldings of astounding size, depth and complexity; fireplaces surrounded by beautifully carved, exotic marbles; stunning, immense light fixtures. And yet, despite all this beautiful grandiosity and luxury, the immense scale of the rooms, they were rendered in such pleasing proportions, in both their size and details that they attain a surprising and pleasing comfort. The rooms on the western side of the first floor are used as the formal, entertaining rooms, living room and dining room. They are separated by pocket doors of rosewood grain. The center entry hall is a lovely large room itself, accentuated by the architectural curves of the staircase. At the rear of the house, the center hall leads to a beautifully renovated powder room and the delightful and spacious covered rear porch that overlooks the back garden.
On the eastern side of the house are two large more informal rooms, still with lovely fireplaces, moldings, and doors, separated by a back hallway and staircase. The room to the rear is open to the kitchen. It is a wonderful everyday living space, perfect for informal dining and the normal activities of daily life. Within the room there is a wet bar with large ice-maker and spacious black, leathered-finish granite counters and cabinets.
The library on the east side of the house can comfortably accommodate a large screen television, the furnishings of a cozy den, an impressive office, or a comfortable family room with built-in shelving to display your collections.
The kitchen features SubZero and Wolf appliances, modern custom ivory-colored cabinetry, more black leathered-finish granite counters, and all the amenities of upscale contemporary kitchen design. From the kitchen there is a recently constructed rear exit into the attached three-car garage. The garage is also a recent addition; it is heated and even features a Tesla charging station. Here are the finest examples of historic design and craftsmanship coupled with luxurious modern amenities in new bathrooms, kitchen, heating and air-conditioning, etcetera.
The second-floor contains three large bedrooms with in-suite baths as well as several other rooms and spaces. The central hall features a large open seating area at the front of the house with access to a balcony above the front portico. There are two large bedrooms with beautifully renovated bathrooms at the front of the house. The master bedroom suite is to the rear on the east side of the house and is a spacious bedroom with fireplace and two generous dressing rooms connected by the master bath. The bathroom has a water closet, luxurious shower stall and separate sinks.
Tucked away in the southwestern corner of the house is a museum quality room that previously served as the gentleman's smoking room. It was designed and built by the famous Art Nouveau craftsmen and designers of New York City, the Herter Brothers. All of the furnishings, moldings, wall coverings, paneling, carvings, fireplace, and fixtures were designed and executed by the Herter Brothers in approximately 1889. The fanciful carved animals and renderings in brass nails on the leather wall covering are a delight. A secret panel opens to reveal a hidden bar. Legend has it the light fixtures and the chiming clock built into the mantel were made by Louis Comfort Tiffany.
The third floor has four large bedrooms, one full bathroom, and some utility rooms. The finishes here are simple and plain. From here, the stairway becomes a spiral and leads to the round windowed cupola whose door accesses the observation deck outside. Here, the East Avenue cultural district is at your feet. The view of parades, fireworks, or of the neighboring East Avenue spires is unequaled.
The recent renovation included a complete updating of all mechanical systems. All of the plumbing, wiring, heating and air-conditioning were new from the street ten years ago. Forced-air duct work was added and the previous steam boiler and radiators eliminated. Each floor has its own furnace and air-conditioning compressor. The air-conditioning units are on the roof of the garage. The design, execution and quality of components used in the new mechanical systems is of top quality.
The carriage house is a private separate residence included in the sale. It is 2859 square feet and has three bedrooms and three and a half baths. It has a two-story great room with an immense carved stone fireplace. There is a private roof deck and an attached two-car garage. The carriage house was entirely rebuilt ten years ago. The kitchen and baths all feature high quality finishes. It is currently leased month to month. It is conservatively priced at $3300 per month.

In one of the most anticipated matches heading into DWO True Grit on August 5th, Gino Rivera and Thunder finally met for their first one-on-one contest since a brutal attack took out the veteran nearly one year ago. The unexpected year off for Thunder wasn't enough for him to calm his emotions and he was ready to take it out on the Puerto Rican Pit Bull.
While the duo competed in a Triple-Threat Match the previous month for the newly-created Full Access Championship, some say that their bitter rivalry cost both men the opportunity to make history. The distraction of their feud allowed Manny Lemons to approach the match with a clear mind and eventually leave Three Shades of Fate as the inaugural champion. But for Gino and Thunder, the loss only added to the fire burning within.
With the singles match finally set with the hope that both men would settle their differences once and for all, nobody expected just how hostile it would get. From the start, Thunder did not hesitate and immediately got the upper-hand on Rivera. But the younger upstart would not back down and took the fight right back to the former Tag Team Champion. In a matter of minutes, the match turned into an all-out brawl that would spill outside of the ring. Unable to control the action, the referee counted out both competitors as security proceeded to seperate the two men.
As Thunder expressed his frustration over the call backstage to Commissioner Adam Merrick, Gino appeared from nowhere and the brawl was back on! This lead Merrick to announce a Falls Count Anywhere Match for DWO Fight or Flight next month. If what we already witnessed is any indication of what to expect, Destiny Wrestling fans are in for a can't-miss bout on September 9th!
The main event for Three Shades of Fate contested three of DWO's top stars battling for the biggest prize in all of the Southwest. Johnny K and Chad Thomas would take on DWO Heavyweight Champion Hobo Hank in a Triple-Threat Match with the championship on the line!
For Johnny K, this was a six-month journey back to the title picture. He lost the title to Hobo in a brutal ladder match last December but had yet to receive his rematch due to his controversial past actions against DWO Commissioner Adam Merrick. Proving his mettle against the likes of Ryan Justice, Turbo Tony and Manny Lemons, he wanted everybody to know that his time in the spotlight was far from over.
Chad Thomas had a much longer journey to get back into contention for the title. Having lost the Heavyweight Title back at Day of Destiny V in 2010, Thomas would get other chances at winning the gold back but could never get back to the top of the mountain. But after racking up an impressive six-match winning streak in Destiny Wrestling, the "Old-School Athlete" was hungrier than ever to reclaim his glory.
While both challengers had to bide their time in getting their respective title matches, the one person who knew a thing or two about waiting was the current champ, Hobo Hank. It took the transient over three years to gain another title shot and when he finally won the belt back, he vowed that he would be the fighting champion that all of Albuquerque deserved. With wins over former WWE Superstars Rob Conway and Tommy Dreamer already under his belt, Hobo was definitely making good on his word.
As the Triple-Threat Match got underway, Johnny and Thomas (two known associates of former Director of Competition Matthew Roblez) would initially approach the match as a team but their union wouldn't last long as both men were looking to accomplish the same goal. With the intensity of the bout escalating, the referee would get knocked out, leaving no authority to count any deciding fall. As Adam Merrick went backstage to search for another ref, Johnny would take advantage of the opportunity and surprise Hobo with his patented rag of chloroform. With Hank out, Johnny now focused on Chad as his last obstacle. Fans were shocked as Josh Pain resurfaced for the first time in 2017, wearing a suit and tie and embracing his fellow DeathRage Cartel member with a hug. As the duo delivered a double Das Boot to Chad Thomas and Johnny prepared himself to become a two-time champion, Pain would do the unthinkable and hook K into unconsciousness with a sleeper hold! With all three men out, Josh would grab Baby from the corner post and bolt out of the Westside Community Center. This led Matthew Roblez to finally appear and drag Chad Thomas on top of Johnny K just as the referee started to come to. A slow three seconds later and Chad Thomas was once again DWO Heavyweight Champion!
Destiny Wrestling's newest era has arrived with Chad Thomas' Heavyweight Championship run in full-swing. Matthew Roblez, now firmly behind Chad Thomas as his manager, is back to having some sort of power within the company now that his client holds the richest prize in the organization. But what is next for Hobo Hank, who was not involved in the deciding pinfall to award Thomas the gold? And what is next for Johnny K now that Josh is responsible for both his championship loss and the whereabouts of Baby? Hopefully we will find out more at DWO True Grit on August 5th!
Earlier this year, Destiny Wrestling announced that a brand new championship would debut, the first in the company since 2009. The new singles title would give fans complete control, including an online vote to determine the name. When the choice of the Full Access Championship was announced as the winner, it was also revealed that any time the title would be defended, it would air for the whole world to see via Facebook Live.
After waiting nearly three months, fans were finally going to see who would be crowned as the inaugural Full Access Champion at DWO Three Shades of Fate. In order to qualify for the Triple-Threat title bout, all three men needed to win their respective Fatal 4-Way Matches in the months leading up to the event. Manny Lemons was the first to earn his spot by besting Dante Diablo, Dillon Divine and former Extreme Champion THE Josh Carey. At the following show, Gino Rivera won over Turbo Tony, Donny Brookes and Johnny Swole while the returning Thunder earned a victory in the final qualifier, topping Scotty Santiago, Dylan Dunbar and one-half of the Tag Team Champions, Ray Basura. With the three men now in place, it was time to see who would cement their legacy.
Just before the start of the show, Commissioner Adam Merrick would provide fans with a sneak peek of the new title, revealing a hashtag symbol on one of the side plates. With the crowd counting down the seconds, the show went live on Facebook for the match, where Merrick finally revealed the custom made championship for the whole world (and the three contenders) to see for the first time. As the match began, bitter rivals Thunder and Gino would be the first to square up until Lemons interrupted to inject himself into the contest. All three would have close pinfalls throughout the bout but in the end, it would be "The Man, the Brand, the King of the Lemonade Stand" Manny Lemons who would come out victorious and become the first-ever Full Access Champion!
Destiny Wrestling kicked off their third show on May 13, 2017 with Ultimate Jeopardy! The stage was set for all the action as the anticipated match of Tommy Dreamer versus Hobo Hank headlined the event.
The first match contested Turbo Tony, Donny Brookes, Gino Rivera and Johnny Swole in the second of three Fatal 4-Way Matches with the winner qualifying for a shot at the new Full Access Championship. The stakes were high and left little room for error with the opportunity for one of these men to make DWO history. The match would be very energetic as everyone would take dives from the top rope to the other competitors outside of the ring. At one point, Rivera would elbow Swole in the mouth, causing him to bleed profusely all over the ring. The cheap tactics would come in handy for the "Puerto Rican Pit Bull" as he would pick up the victory to join Manny Lemons in a match to determine the first Full Access Champion next month.
The second bout would feature former Heavyweight Champion Johnny K against "as seen on ROH TV" Manny Lemons. Punches would be traded between the combatants with neither men showing an advantage over the other. As the 15-minute time limit started drawing closer, both men went into panic mode to try and secure the victory. With just seconds to go, Johnny would deliver his patented Das Boot but would have the time expire before the referee could register the 3-count, ending the match in a draw. Frustrated that things didn't go his way, Johnny proceeded to attack Manny post-match with his chloroform rag.
As The FoxStars headed to the ring for the next match, an unknown man would attack the duo from behind and brutalize them with a steel chair. The man would then take Shadow Fox into the ring and continuously slam him onto the chair at the orders of his manager. After the beat down, blood could be seen dripping out of Shadow's mask as the man unfolded a chair and sat over the beaten luchador. The man would reveal himself as #IamThePROPHET (along with his manager #IamThePROTAGANIST), announcing his alignment with #TheCultAwaitsYOU. Cryptic words would be sent by the invaders to the Tag Team Champions before Ray Basura would come out to stop the assault. As Basura drove the attackers away, the EMTs would strap Shadow to a stretcher and take him backstage to be treated further.
With Basura heated over the events that had just transpired, he had no time to contain his emotions as the next Full Access Championship qualifier that he was involved in began. Scotty Santiago, Dylan Dunbar and the returning Thunder were all met with Basura's anger while entering the ring for the match. But the story of the contest was Thunder, who made the most of his 12-month hiatus by scoring the W after his signature Frog Splash, securing his place in the Triple-Threat Full Access Championship Match at the next show.
Following intermission, the next match would feature two former DWO Heavyweight Champions squaring off as Joe Quesada battled the "Old-School Athlete" Chad Thomas. These two men would battle each other not only in the ring but also all over ringside, giving Thomas the advantage. With his brutal lariat, Chad would be victorious yet again and gain his sixth straight singles win in Destiny Wrestling.
The huge main event had finally arrived and the fans in Albuquerque were ready to see the dream match of Hobo Hank vs. ECW Legend Tommy Dreamer with not only the DWO Heavyweight Championship on the line but also Matthew Roblez's career in Destiny Wrestling. Half way through the match, Roblez, Johnny K, and Chad Thomas would come out to ringside to help Hobo in securing Roblez's job. Everytime it seemed as though "The Innovator of Violence" was close to winning, one of the three would interfere making sure Hobo could regain the upper hand. Finally after brawling with the three and diving onto them, Hobo would plant Dreamer with his Tornado DDT and retain his coveted gold in the biggest match of his career. Immediately following the victory, the three intruders would enter the ring and jump the champion and encourage the former ECW Champion to join their assault. Briefly pondering the offer, Dreamer turned the tide and aligned with Hobo, taking out Johnny, Thomas and Roblez and sending the crowd at the Westside Community Center into a frenzy!
Going forward, many questions have been brought up. Who will be the first-ever Full Access Champion: Manny Lemons, Gino Rivera, or Thunder? Will Johnny K get his demanded rematch for the Heavyweight Championship? Has Chad Thomas proven that his six-win streak is worthy of a shot himself? And will The FoxStars be able to compete for their earned Tag Team Championship Match? All these questions will be answered on June 17th at DWO's 3 Shades of Fate! Come to this show as it will define the future of Destiny Wrestling Organization!
Pride Is a Sin! Destiny Wrestling's second show of the year took place on March 25th at the Westside Community Center. In the weeks leading up to the show, it was announced that three big names would be competing: "The Warlord of Weird" Sinn Bodhi, Impact Wrestling star Robbie E and the 2-time NWA World Heavyweight Champion "Ironman" Rob Conway. The night started out with DWO's special guest Gabriellita Torres singing the National Anthem in front of a sold out crowd.
The first match would be the No. 1 Contender's Match for the DWO Tag Team Championships as The FoxStars battled The Heartless. The momentum of the two teams would go back and forth but in the end, The FoxStars would get the win after a bit of miscommunication by Gino Rivera & Domion Diablo. After the match, Domion confronted Gino about the miscommunication but was instead met with a kick below the belt from his now former tag team partner.
The next match saw the returning Sinn Bodhi take on fan favorite Joe Quesada. The match would get intense as the fight would spill out into the crowd. While locking arms, the two competitors would bridge over the first and second rows at ringside before coming back into the ring. Near pinfalls would plague the match and when all was said and done, Bodhi would score the victory to make his return a memorable one.
Next up, Chad Thomas and Robbie E squared off...but Thomas wanted to start things with a dance contest. Thomas' dance moves had not only Robbie laughing but also all those in attendance. Once the bell rang, the action was nonstop but it was the "Old-School Athlete" who would end up with his fifth straight Destiny Wrestling win.
The first Fatal 4-Way Match to determine the competitors for the new Full Access Championship came next, pitting THE Josh Carey, Dante Diablo, Dillon Divine and Manny Lemons against one another. With the match airing on Facebook Live for the whole world to see, it was Lemons who would shine brightest and become the first man to qualify for the Full Access Championship Match coming in June.
The following contest would be one of the most anticipated ones of the year with Dressed 2 Kill challenging Brute 66 for the DWO Tag Team Championships. D2K had been screwed out of their previous opportunities at the gold and were looking to finally get a fair chance against the fighting champs. Dylan Dunbar & Donny Brookes would give Brute 66 a run for their money but it would be Mosh Pit Mike & Ray Basura once again walking away with the "W" that night.
Following intermission, Johnny K took over the show and demanded competition after his previously-scheduled match was cancelled due to his opponent getting injured. Answering the call was the former Tony Fletcher, now going back to his old persona as Turbo Tony. Johnny would have the momentum the whole match however and picked up the win after two Das Boots to the defenseless Tony.
It was finally time for the main event as Rob Conway challenged DWO Heavyweight Champion Hobo Hank. For nearly ten minutes, the crowd would trade chants for the both the champion and the challenger. After knocking down the referee, the Director of Competition Matthew Roblez would interfere once again in his continued attempt to rid the company of the beloved Hobo. Unfortunately for Roblez, his plan would backfire as his brass knuckles accidentally clocked Conway, costing "The Iron Man" the match. As the Director was throwing a fit outside the ring, Commissioner Adam Merrick would remind Roblez that his one last chance had been blown, going on to fire Roblez to the delight of the fans.
The DWO continues to cement its mark in Albuquerque and the packed house on March 25th proved that. So what's next? Destiny Wrestling returns on May 13th and will be bringing in "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer! Be sure to attend that event to see what the next chapter in Destiny Wrestling holds.
They're back! Destiny Wrestling hosted their first show of the year, A New Destiny, on February 11th. Fans flocked to the Westside Community Center to see what DWO would bring to the table.
The first match contested Joe Quesada against Dante Diablo. Joe, being the fan favorite of the match, was bent on winning to further his climb to his next championship opportunity. After a hard fought match, Quesada would pull out the win over Dante.
Immediately after the match, Commissioner Adam Merrick would call out Matthew Roblez to discuss his future...only Roblez wasn't alone. Johnny K, holding a destroyed Baby, would accompany the Director of Competition to the ring to confront the Commissioner. The discussion became heated when Merrick threatened to fire Roblez but stated that he wouldn't as long as the Director made good on his one last chance. So Roblez was sent to the back to find a competitor for Hobo Hank in the main event. Meanwhile, Johnny was told that he had to prove his demand for an immediate rematch for the Heavyweight Title and was scheduled to fight DWO newcomer Ryan Justice. Johnny got the jump on Justice, beating him until his opponent could go no more. Security jumped in the ring and pulled Johnny off of Justice and the match was declared a no-contest.
The next match featured The Heartless and The FoxStars in tag team action. Renewing their rivalry, The FoxStars were looking to get some revenge after Domion Diablo unmasked Shadow Fox in December. The FoxStars would pull one over on their rivals when Gino Rivera tried to unmask Lucha Star, only to reveal that the masked luchador was wearing two masks! Planning ahead allowed Shadow & Lucha to win and tie the series at 1:1.
The next match would be Chad Thomas fighting the returning Manny Lemons. Before the match, Lemons would tell the crowd of a family member's passing and that he would be dedicating his match to their memory. The fight would go all over ringside with Lemons nearly securing the victory multiple times. But in the end, Thomas would take his fourth win in a row.
At the end of intermission, Adam Merrick would host a live stream on the Destiny Wrestling Facebook page to make his big announcement. Pointing out that the DWO Extreme Championship is currently located in Florida with current champion Donnie Amsterdam, he told the crowd and everyone viewing the live stream that DWO would be creating a new title and the fans would vote to choose the name of the new championship.
Brute 66 would put their Tag Team Titles on the line next against The FAT Society. THE Josh Carey & Tony Fletcher would actually have the upper hand for most of the match, taking the champions to the limit. Unfortunately for them however, they could not compete with Brute 66's teamwork and would lose their shot at the gold. After the match, Carey would turn on Fletcher and knock him over the head with The Book of Carey.
The main event was here and Hobo Hank was out in the ring ready to defend his Heavyweight Championship. Matthew Roblez would come out to the ring and bring out his hand-picked challenger, Sgt. Major. Hobo seemed to have met his match as Major would beat on him for the better part of the contest. But an angry Johnny K would interfere and strike the referee, forcing Adam Merrick to call for the DQ to cost the challenger the title. Hobo would perform his finishing move, the Tornado DDT, on Johnny to send the crowd home happy and end the first show of the year with the champion's hand raised in celebration.
Overall, it was a great start to the 2017 year and it will only get bigger as three major names have already been announced for DWO's next show, Pride Is a Sin. TNA's Robbie E, former NWA World Heavyweight Champion Rob Conway and former WWE Superstar Sinn Bodhi will all be in action on March 25th. So be there to witness what happens next in Destiny Wrestling!

Securing all your sensitive data is an overwhelming concept for many data center managers, security officers and privacy officers. To a great extent, they would prefer to ignore it. Decades of migrated data have been swept under the rug; this mountain of data sets represents the dirty little secret nobody wants to address. The fact is, most security staffs can't tell you where all the sensitive data resides, which means they just can't protect data they can't locate and categorize.
The Legacy Data Challenge
The designers of the original IBM System/360 series hardware and software should be congratulated for their foresight. Mainframes have been around a long time, all the while maintaining upward compatibility. Unfortunately, that also means data has been kept around, too, and some of it contains sensitive information. Even the best data security teams can't protect what they don't know about.
An easy response is that, because of the mainframe's isolation, only insiders even have the potential to access this data. However, a 2012 InformationWeek/Dark Reading Strategic Security Survey asked, "Which of these possible sources of breaches or espionage pose the greatest threat to your company in 2012?" Respondents could select three categories; their response was:
• 52 percent: Authorized users or employees
• 52 percent: Cybercriminals
• 44 percent: Application vulnerabilities
• 24 percent: Public interest groups/hacktivists
• 21 percent: Service providers, consultants and auditors.
Note that insiders (authorized users or employees) are perceived to be a threat equal to cybercriminals.
Internal Threats
These criminal insiders may not have started out this way, but they can become vulnerable and eventually compromised by criminals. This subversion need not even be overt. A subtle look the other way is often enough to enable a massive breach. For example, in December 2011, the Manhattan District Attorney indicted 55 individuals for their participation in an organized identity theft and financial crime ring. This cybercrime breach involved cooperation from corrupt employees at banks, a non-profit institution, a high-end car dealership and a real estate management company. The defendants acquired and sold the names, dates of birth, addresses, Social Security numbers and financial account information of unsuspecting victims. (For further details, see The New York Times report at www.nytimes.com/2011/12/16/nyregion/indictment-expected-against-55-in-cybercrime.html?_r=1.)
Various studies over the years have identified insiders as a top cause of data breaches. They have access to production data as needed to perform their usual activities and much non-production data at varying levels of access. Many savvy organizations fail to consider that insiders also have access to old development test data sets, which were necessary for development and testing, but never deleted. There's also data accumulated from mergers and acquisitions that resides unprotected or under protected and available to many users.
The three z/OS external security managers—IBM's RACF and CA's ACF2 and Top Secret—excel at protecting assets, secrets and personal items that organizations are required to protect, but only if the data security staff knows to do so. Unknown sensitive data sets aren't properly protected simply because they're not in the production data and the people responsible don't know what sensitive data is in them.
Historical practices of the development and Quality Assurance (QA) teams as well as normal system users have caused an extensive accumulation of data over the years. When creating new application programs or modifying existing ones, programmers commonly used copies of actual production data to test against. It was too dangerous to directly use the actual production data and difficult to generate accurate data to simulate the real thing. QA professionals have typically taken the same short cut.
Today, there are tools and automated systems for de-identification of data to ensure the development and test organizations never use actual production data containing sensitive information. But these policies are relatively new and can be easily circumvented when teams are dealing with a massive effort or are under a deadline to get an application completed and tested on time.
