FACT: BERG SPENT MORE THAN A QUARTER CENTURY SUPPORTING THE INTERESTS OF THE REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY, INCLUDING VOTING AGAINST STRICTER FIRE SAFETY REGULATIONS

Berg Even Voted Against Stricter Fire Safety Rules While Goldmark Property Management Buildings Were Being Cited For Poor Fire Safety. In September 2012, The Hill reported, ?Buildings managed by Goldmark Property Management were cited in 2000 for missing smoke detector batteries, inoperable kitchen windows and inaccessible fire extinguishers, according to a report from the Fargo Forum. And Berg, during his time in the North Dakota state legislature, attempted to block legislation that would expand fire prevention rules and regulations.? [The Hill, 9/19/12]

Berg Spent 26 Years In The North Dakota Legislature Voting To Advance Goldmark Property Management?s Interests Over Those Of Consumers, Including Against "Mandatory Fire Sprinklers.? In September 2012, Politico reported, ?And during a 26-year career in the North Dakota Legislature, including holding several GOP leadership posts, Berg backed legislation that would buttress landlords? legal and financial positions, according to legislative records from that period ? During Berg?s tenure in the state Legislature, he sponsored or backed legislation that would have given landlords increased authority to evict unruly tenants; required tenants to pay immediate restitution to landlords for losing challenges to eviction notices; called for bigger security deposits by new tenants; opposed rent control and mandatory fire sprinklers; and voted for tax relief for property owners, including landlords. Berg also opposed a bill to set up an independent organization to settle tenant-landlord disputes.? [Politico, 9/20/12]

2005: Berg Voted Against Requiring Landlords To Provide Visual Smoke Detectors For Deaf Tenants. In April 2005, Berg voted against a bill requiring that ?The landlord of a residential dwelling unit shall provide an approved visual smoke detection system or other visual alarm system for fire if requested in writing by a tenant who is deaf.? The bill exempted landlords with only one building having four units or less. [HB 1350, Vote 4/4/05]

How to Cross the Divide with Your IT Operations Colleagues ...

The modern enterprise IT environment is extremely complex. A myriad of smartphones, tablets, applications and network devices, along with the growing use of virtualization and cloud services, all present an increasing volume of management and security concerns.

Next-generation security devices present new, more granular controls, but add to the complexity. Both IT Security and IT Operations teams are strained with managing, supporting and securing these environments, often clamoring for more resources to get the job done. As the work piles up, each organization hunkers down and focuses primarily on their specific roles and responsibilities.

What sometimes gets lost in the shuffle is the bigger picture, which is to make the business run more smoothly and efficiently.?

IT operations and security groups are ultimately responsible for making sure an organization?s systems are functioning so that business goals are met. However these teams approach business continuity from different perspectives. The security department?s number one goal is to protect the company, whereas the IT operations team is focused on keeping systems up and running. Oftentimes, IT operations and security teams must work together and be on the same page because both have an ownership stake.

This is easier said than done.

To achieve this alignment, organizations must re-examine current IT and security processes and identify areas where to add or enhance the necessary checks and balances, without impeding productivity.

Here are 5 Tips to Improve Communication and Alignment with Your IT Operations Colleagues

1. Re-examine the roles and responsibilities within the Information Security team as well as with the IT Operations team and identify areas - such as change management and audits - where both teams play a significant role.

2. Set up a taskforce with stakeholders from both departments and develop or enhance a standard operating procedure (SOP) for how the teams will work together on a typical day and when crisis hits. This SOP should take into account the concerns of both teams and address day-to-day situations. You can?t predict when users will make requests to add new devices to the network, but you can prepare for dealing with those requests.

By designing plans with your counterparts that address these situations (or other ?knowns? such as network upgrades, change freezes, and audits), you can minimize security risk from poor change our out-of-band change processes. Communicate the agreed upon SOP with both teams and ensure continuous training of these procedures. This proactive approach will ensure a proper response during high pressure situations.

3. Work with your management and colleagues to define management by objectives (MBOs) and performance targets that include both individual and higher level targets. If security is compromised due to poorly configured change, everyone loses. And if security requirements are so stringent that SLAs cannot be met, the business also loses.

4. Build relationships and force over-communication. Encourage team building outings such as lunch and learns, retreats and off-site events to build relationships amongst the departments. Plan some fun, IT organizational events to break down the silos and build relationships amongst the staff. Additionally, set up weekly/monthly/quarterly review sessions between the two groups that focus on internal process improvements (poor internal security processes were identified in a State of Network Security 2012 survey as the greatest security risk). Not only do these activities create awareness and enable joint decision-making, but people generally respond better to friendly faces.

5. Support both teams by implementing technology in addition to the newly developed or refined processes to facilitate collaboration and make their lives easier ? having holistic visibility will lead to improved network availability and security.

At the end of the business day, it?s about finding the right balance for each organization between security and productivity. One should not have to come at the expense of the other.

Nimmy Reichenberg is the VP of Marketing and Strategy for AlgoSec, a solution provider for Network Security Policy Management. Nimmy began his career as a security software engineer and has spent the last 10 years working with organizations across the world to address their security needs, focusing mainly on mobile device management and network security. He holds a B.Sc. in Computer Science and an MBA from Tel Aviv University.Previous Columns by Nimmy Reichenberg:

Apple unwraps mini-iPad to take on Amazon, Google

SAN JOSE (Reuters) - Apple Inc will begin to sell an 8-inch version of the iPad on Friday to compete with Amazon.com Inc's Kindle and other smaller tablets, but it set a higher-than-expected price tag of $329 that Wall Street fears could curb demand.

The 7.9 inch "iPad mini" marks the iPhone-maker's first foray into the smaller-tablet segment. Apple hopes to beat back incursions onto its home turf of consumer electronics hardware, while safeguarding its lead in a larger tablet space - one that even deep-pocketed rivals like Samsung Electronics have found tough to penetrate.

Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook and marketing chief Phil Schiller took the wraps off the new tablet, which essentially has most of the functions and features of the full-size iPad but in a smaller package.

Priced at $329 for a wi-fi only model, the iPad mini is a little costlier than some predicted, but some analysts see that as a bid to retain premium pricing levels. Others fear the gadget will lure buyers away from Apple's $499 flagship 10-inch iPad, while proving ineffective in combating the threat of Amazon's $199 Kindle Fire and Google's Nexus 7, both of which are sold at or near cost.

"Apple has always been a premium hardware manufacturer. It's basically a hardware company and they don't have Google advertising or Amazon's online store to fall back on," said Destination Wealth Management CEO Michael Yoshikami.

"But people are happy to pay a premium because it's quality hardware, and the ecosystem (of content and apps) cannot be underestimated."

JMP Securities analyst Alex Gauna said, however, "It's coming in the range that most were grumbling about and that, quite frankly, we're a little bit concerned about."

"It's a little confusing at this juncture to try and figure out how it fits into the line-up. Is it going to cannibalize the more expensive iPad?" he said.

"It is worth noting that there are zero-margin products out there competing with them now ... and that is presenting some challenges to Apple."

Frank Gillett, an analyst with Forrester who attended the event, said he was impressed with the lightness of the iPad mini, which he got a chance to play with following the event.

"Apple went for the high end of what people have been thinking of," Gillett said, adding that Amazon and Google may have to adjust their product lineups to compete with the iPad mini.

The focus on growing competition was evident as Schiller - at the iPad mini's launch event, held in San Jose's California Theatre - compared the iPad mini with Google's popular 7-inch Nexus 7 tablet, citing feature by feature why the new Apple device was superior. It is unusual for Apple to single out a specific competitor in its product launches.

"Theirs is made of plastic," Schiller said, referring to the Android tablet. "The entire Android product is thicker and heavier."

Schiller later defended Apple's pricing of the iPad mini, telling reporters he expects consumers to recognize quality and be willing to pay for it.

FASTER AND SLIMMER

In a surprise move, Apple also announced a fourth-generation full-sized iPad just six months after unveiling a third generation device to much fanfare. The latest tablet, which again sells for $499, is faster and slimmer and comes just days before Microsoft is due to show off its own "Surface" tablet.

Apple also unveiled thinner MacBook Pro laptops, including a 13-inch Retina display.

SIGHTS ON AMAZON

The iPad was launched in 2010 by late Apple visionary Steve Jobs and since then it has taken a big chunk out of PC sales, upending the industry and reinventing mobile computing with its apps-based model, often called an ecosystem.

A smaller tablet is the first device to be added to Apple's compact portfolio under Cook, who took over from Jobs just before his death a year ago.

"It's very cool," Cook said of the iPad mini. "We told you earlier this year you would see some incredible innovation from Apple across the year. We think we kept our promise."

In a rarity for a company that tightly controls events, Apple live-streamed its invitation-only presentation to Apple devices such as the iPad and Macintosh computers.

The Kindle and Nexus 7 have grabbed a chunk of the lower end of the tablet market and proved demand for a pocket-sized slate exists. Those companies' tablets - the most successful other than Apple's - have forced Apple into a space it has avoided and at times derided, analysts say.

Amazon's 7-inch Kindle Fire released last year for $199 was one of the hottest-selling holiday gadgets. It pressured Amazon's margins but potentially garnered millions of new high-spending customers for the online retailer.

Amazon sold more than a million Kindles a week during December, paving the way for Google to try out a similarly sized small tablet.

Amazon has now launched its second-generation Kindle Fire HD, which it says is the "best-selling product across all of Amazon worldwide," based on undisclosed U.S. sales figures and international preorders.

Google's Nexus 7 tablet, built by Asian manufacturer Asustek, won top marks from reviewers and quickly ran out of stock after its July launch.

All three companies will be vying to get their devices on shopping lists during the U.S. holiday season, which traditionally starts next month.

Surveys conducted ahead of Tuesday's news suggested some consumers had hoped for a more affordable Apple mini tablet.

The "starting sweet spot" for the tablet would be in the $249-$299 range, according to a survey of more than a thousand consumers by Baird Equity Research.

PRICE IS KEY

Jobs famously derided the 7-inch screen, saying such a device should come with sandpaper so users can file down their fingers. But an internal email revealed during a patent trial showed he turned more favorable to the idea by early 2011.

Apple has sold 100 million iPads so far, with the device accounting for 26 percent of Apple's fiscal third-quarter revenue.

But analysts are concerned now about erosion of Apple's industry leading margins as it takes on the Kindle Fire. It earned gross margins of 23 percent to 32 percent on U.S. iPad sales between October 2010 and the end of March 2012, according to a July court filing by Apple.

Amazon's first Kindle Fire just about breaks even after manufacturing costs, according to IHS iSuppli estimates, and Google has said its Nexus 7 is being sold at cost.

"The pricing may limit sales. From a profitability perspective though, I think at $330 Apple is still getting adequate gross margins on the sales," said Morningstar analyst Brian Colello. "But at that price point it may limit adoption and unit volumes."

Apple's shares ended regular trading down 3.2 percent at $613.36, after gaining 4 percent on Monday in the run-up to the event.

Brazilian Red Propolis Kills Breast Cancer Cells

Ethanol Extract of Brazilian Red Propolis Induces Apoptosis in Human Breast Cancer MCF-7 Cells Through Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress

Propolis, a natural product collected from plants by honey bees, is commonly used in folk medicines. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is known to induce apoptosis through the induction of CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein homologous protein (CHOP). Here, we investigated whether ethanol extracts of propolis and caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) induce apoptosis, mitochondrial dysfunction and ER stress in human breast cancer MCF-7 cells and human fibroblasts. Among several ethanol extracts of propolis and CAPE, Brazilian red propolis (BRP) significantly reduced MCF-7 cell viability through the induction of mitochondrial dysfunction, caspase-3 activity and DNA fragmentation, but did not affect those of fibroblasts. Moreover, treatment with BRP significantly induced CHOP expression in MCF-7 cells compared to fibroblasts. Further, pretreatment with a chemical chaperone, 4-phenylbutyric acid, suppressed BRP-triggered MCF-7 cell death. Overall, we revealed that an ethanol extract of BRP induces MCF-7 cell apoptosis through, at least in part, ER stress-related signaling.

'Jersey Shore' Star Jenni 'JWoww' Farley: I'm Not Dieting for My Wedding Day (EXCLUSIVE)

"BE YOURSELF ON YOUR WEDDING DAY"

Although Jenni ?JWoww? Farley is focused on living a healthy lifestyle these days, the Jersey Shore star and bride-to-be told Celebuzz she isn?t worried about squeezing into her wedding dress.

?Everybody always looks at their wedding pictures [and says], ?Ugh! I wish I was that skinny,?? said Farley, who confirmed her engagement to longtime boyfriend Roger Mathews in September. ?They put themselves through hell to get that skinny ? and it never lasts. That?s one of those things, like crash-course dieting and crash-course working out.?

?So, I always say, Be yourself on your wedding day,? she continued. ?Don?t go to that extent of ridiculousness, because you?re only going to look back a couple months later and then years later and be like, ?Oh I wish I could do that,? or ?I wish I looked like that.??

?People forget what they did to look like that,? said Farley, 26. ?So my big thing from here until whenever my wedding day is just to live healthy ? exercise 30 minutes a day, [do] some cardio, weight training, substitute some of my carbs that I love for some natural carbs like vegetables, take your supplements ? and just live your life so on your wedding day you feel healthy and you?re not starving in your wedding dress and ready to wolf down the whole cake.?

Speaking of supplements, Farley recently teamed up with Ab Cuts, an all-natural dietary supplement.

?I like to think of it as the ultimate vitamin, in a sense,? she said of the product. ?It?s just such a good supplement to have ? [It] gives you the essential oils and the essential fatty acids that people really don?t get throughout the day, especially if you have a hectic lifestyle.?

?The biggest thing for me is that it?s all-natural,? she continued, ?With my crazy lifestyle, I have enough unnatural things going on. [Laughs] As long as I can take one thing a day that is ?good,? that?s all-natural and healthy ? it?s not coffee; it?s not caffeine; it?s nothing crazy ? that benefits me alone, just by doing that.?

By focusing on staying healthy, Farley said she feels more perfect than she?s ever felt before.

?[During season 1 of Jersey Shore], I was binge drinking and going out and getting pizza at 4AM and cheese balls. In Italy, I got really skinny, but I was running myself ragged. Now, I?m kind of more muscular, but I can get up after six hours of sleep and be wide awake for the day. Whereas two years ago, you?d have to drag me by my hair, because I was still digesting the grossness from the day of.?

?The overall lifestyle changes that I?ve made have made me such a better person,? she added.

With wedding bells on the horizon, Farley said she wants to maintain what she?s doing, especially as she starts to think about having children.

?I do want to set goals for myself,? she said. ?Obviously, I want to have kids one day; but I really want to have a healthy lifestyle prior to having kids, so that when I do ever decide to get pregnant it?s not such a shock.?

?I want to be able to run a marathon prior,? she added. ?I want to set up small goals so by the time I do decided to have kids and a family, I?m the healthiest I will be in all my years of living.?

As for the wedding itself, Farley says she isn?t quite sure yet when it will happen.

?I?d like to say next year, around summertime,? she said, ?But every time I keep looking into that, I?m hearing like, You have to plan, like, a year in advance for a venue and blah, blah, blah, and it takes this month for this invitation ? And I?m like, ?Oh my God.??

?My goal is next summer, but I haven?t even picked the venue yet. [Laughs]?

Budgeting Tips for New Baby | Being Pregnant

Babies can be expensive! Whether your pregnancy was planned or a happy surprise, there is no doubt you will likely at some point be a little stressed on how you will add another person to your monthly budget.

While we are planning on adding a fourth baby to our family (hopefully soon) we have already begun talking about how we will be able to?accommodate?our budget. Since we?re not pregnant yet we haven?t started implementing any changes yet, but with money it?s always best to plan ahead!

With some early planning and extra help from friends and family, budgeting for a new baby is not an impossible task.?Click through to read 6 tips to help you budget for a new baby:

1) Be Picky, But Not All At Once: There are a lot of baby products available and it can be easy to get caught up in feeling like you need all of it. To stick to your baby budget, buy only the large items you need (like a safe car seat) and start purchasing when you?re pregnant. If you space out the big purchases, you won?t notice such a huge hit to your budget.

2) Start While You?re Pregnant: Don?t wait to stock up on baby items like diapers for when the baby arrives, start early. Each week buy a pack of diapers (if you?re using disposable) or a reusable diaper and continue to do so for each week. Alternatively, you could purchase a $10 gift card for yourself each week to a large department store. That way, when baby arrives you will have 36-40 weeks worth of savings to use up.

3) Cut Back at Home: If you are looking for ways to increase your baby budget, look at cutting back on some of the extras in the house. If you have the highest cable package or have a home phone on top of cell phones, look at shaving some of those expenses off the house budget. Cut back on lunches and dinners out and opt for shopping grocery sales and you?ll be surprised by how much you could save.

4) Test Drive Single Income: If you will be taking maternity leave, test drive what it will be like to live on a smaller monthly income. Doing so will help you manage easier when the baby comes and you won?t be hit with two life changes at once!

5) Coupons & Samples: Start collecting coupons and samples early. If you will be using disposable diapers, many hospitals give out samples and coupons can be found year round. Ask friends and co-workers to keep you in mind if they come across any baby-related coupons they won?t be using.

6) Lean on Friends: It?s amazing how much you can save for your baby budget when you lean on friends and family to help out. Ask around if anyone has a baby swing or baby clothes they?d be willing to let you borrow. Hand-me-downs are no big thing when it comes to newborn babies because they go so quickly often they?re only worn once or twice.

USB power lead VS TheLog - Computers, Gadgets & Technology ...

Anyway my question is ....... how easy is it to rewire a USB (power only) plug?

The easy way to do it is to take an old USB printer lead, cut off the connector, and solder it to the bit that needs the power. The zero volts (ground) and power are on either side of the 4 pins, and the wires are usually colour coded as black (ground) and red (+5 Volts).

If you get good at using stuff like heat shrink sleeving, Milliput (cross between plasticine and expoxy) and maybe the old epoxy resin to stiffen the thing, you can get quite a tough little new connector.

Miles cheaper than buying a new one... but you need patience and pretty good soldering skills/practice.

I did manage to put a new USB head onto a Sony MP3 player... thing was glued together, had to slice it very carefully open and reglue it after I'd put a new USB head on it (again, chopped apart an old printer lead to get the viable USB connector).

I have to say, USB is fiddly, but it's a lot less messing about than the old serial connectors... you needed three hands and Use of "The Force" sometimes with that old skool tech.

The best ways to catch recruiters' eyes p1 - Military Transition ...

While you?re sitting at your computer sending off r?sum?s in response to ads, employers often are on the prowl for people who are out and about, staying up to date in their field, showing initiative and making it easy for them to find the best and the brightest. ?We attend all types of meetings from the large, international, related medical meetings like the American Society of Clinical Oncology and American Diabetes Association to specialized meetings like the Food and Drug Law Institute,? says Kim First, chief executive at The Agency Worldwide, which specializes in jobs in life sciences.

You may not be looking in this field, but no matter what your industry, it does you good to be seen and heard by those on the lookout for the best in your line of work. Think about where people you want to connect with would hang out:

What conferences do they attend?

Texas A&M University?s Mays Business School gives tips on conference attendance in its online article ?6 Musts When Attending Professional Conferences.?

What journals do they read?

This is where you can find out about events you may not have known about otherwise. If you subscribe, don?t forget the tax benefit. Your subscription may be deductible as an unreimbursed employee expense.

Do they belong to professional organizations?

The job-search and human resources website Weddles.com sells a guide to 3,000 professional associations (WEDDLE?s Guide to Association Web Sites, $49.95). Not only do the associations facilitate networking, but many also maintain robust job boards.

What LinkedIn groups do they belong to?

A colleague told me about an out-of-work chief information officer who is ?having great success getting into companies through side doors rather than, as he calls it, ?throwing the r?sum? over the wall? in response to an ad.? When he discovers an opening, he uses LinkedIn to find someone he knows who knows someone at that company, gets a referral to a top exec and contacts that person directly. If he does submit an application, he gets a contact to recommend him.
