Space agency implementing security measures to protect sensitive information

San Francisco, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/21/2012 -- A computer laptop that contained unencrypted NASA security data stolen two weeks ago from a NASA employee’s car near NASA Headquarters in Washington, D.C.

NASA issued a warning to all employees and contractors that personal information, such as social security numbers, may have been compromised as a result of the theft.

In a notice to employees, NASA said, "On October 31, 2012, a NASA laptop and official NASA documents issued to a headquarters employee were stolen from the employee&aposs locked vehicle. The laptop contained records of sensitive personally identifiable information (PII) for a large number of NASA employees, contractors and others," wrote Richard J. Keegan Jr., associate deputy administrator of NASA, in the notice.

The notice went on state that the data on the laptop had not been encrypted, so “although the laptop was password protected, it did not have whole disk encryption software, which means the information on the laptop could be accessible to unauthorized individuals," Keegan said.

According to Keegan, it may take up to 60 days for all affected employees and contractors to be identified and contacted by NASA, due to the amount of information that has to be reviewed and validated both manually and electronically.

The theft has caused NASA to change security measures for NASA-issues laptops, such as implementing full-disk encryption software.

All affected individuals will be contacted by NASA via a written, mailed letter as opposed to email or telephone contact, as a safety precaution. Keegan said that they have hired specialists to identify and assist in any cases of identity theft or fraud to those affected by the breach.

As a result of the breach, NASA has ordered that NASA-issued laptops cannot leave a NASA facility until whole-disk encryption software has been enabled or that any sensitive files accessible through the laptop have been individually encrypted.

"This applies to laptops containing PII, international traffic in arms regulations (ITAR) and export administration regulations (EAR) data, procurement and human resources information, and other sensitive but unclassified data," Keegan said.

December 21 has been set to have all NASA-issued laptops fully encrypted. AdSA has banned the storage of any sensitive material on portable devices, such as smartphones or tablets. All sensitive information is also to be purged from the laptops once that information is no longer needed.

Increasing Diversity in Leadership Roles in the Power and Energy Industry

Somerset, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/21/2012 -- D2 Creative partners to lead branding/web effort for the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers’ (IEEE) Power and Energy Society (PES) to increase diversity in leadership in the power and energy industry.

“for ambitious, professional women in power and energy industry, WOMEN IN POWER is an industry-focused initiative dedicated to promoting education, professional development and recognition to diversify leadership and foster advancement for qualified professionals.” - Dr. Shay Bahramirad, Women in Power Committee Chair at IEEE Power and Energy Society (PES)

D2 Creative’s investment of high value strategy work will be in helping to define the emotional connection to name, slogans, and design themes for the initiative. D2’s Strategy Team will facilitate discovery and analysis which will yield creative direction for implementation of brand vision and visual imagery associated with the newly defined brand story. Phase 1 of the project is scheduled to launch in early December, 2012.

“This summer, PES approached us about partnering to develop their brand and website for this new workforce diversity initiative, but their budget was limited. We were thrilled by the opportunity to be involved in such a socially responsible effort with PES and vowed to find a way to make it happen. Because of their willingness to be flexible (and a bit less traditional) we were able to discount our services and still ensure that all project needs be met without sacrifice.” – Britton Shinn, Interactive Marketing Engagement Strategist, D2 Creative.

Burlington, Ontario -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/21/2012 -- According to recent statistics released, the number of ATM cards in circulation in Canada is expected to increase to 124.5 million by 2016, says CompaniesandMarkets.com. This rise of cards increases the need for ATM machines in businesses, stores and entertainment venues, says Scott Kitching, representative for ATM Canada, an ATM leasing company serving all of Toronto.

"We are selling and leasing ATM machines to venues all over the country, indoor and out. The need is definitely there. Because there are so many fees associated with Visa and MasterCards, more businesses are going to an all-cash way of doing business. Putting an ATM machine in to make it easier on their customers only makes sense." Says Kitching. He continues, "The bottom line is cash does not bounce. Paper money does not have the issues like: charge backs, disputes, bad checks, and the stress associated with checks and credit cards. Every business needs more cash and an ATM provides more opportunities for a business to be paid in cash for products and services.

Installing ATMs has become big business, and for good reason, according to Kitching. "When two-thirds of the nation’s population carries ATM cards, if a location is not providing ATM services, customers may look elsewhere." Statistics support the placement of ATMs in business, with recent studies showing that an average of 40%-60% of the money withdrawn from ATMs is actually spent in that location. When the money is withdrawn inside nightclubs, the percentage rises as high as 80%. Additionally, the use of moblie ATM services is on the rise too, with ATMs placed at festivals and concerts on a temporary basis.

ATM Canada has been providing ATMs for 15 years and Kitching knows that "owning your own ATM Machine is rarely a bad investment. The big benefit of owning your ATM Machine is making more money on the transaction share. We find merchants who want to own their own ATM Machine are believers and want that extra stream of income coming in on a regular basis."

Most businesses are curious about having an ATM on their premises, but most don&apost know how to get started, says Kitching. "We will not place, lease or sell a cash machine that will not be profitable and convenient to operate. Really, Canada ATM supplies all the hard work, and we stand behind our products. ATM Canada Inc will supply your receipt rolls, transaction processing, website reporting, and 24-hour toll-free technical support for as long as you process your transactions through us. Some businesses may even qualify for a free placement ATM Machine, in which case you will have virtually no monthly expenses."

CEO Adam Robson is currently expecting an 18% growth within the next 12 months for the company.

Los Angeles, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/23/2012 -- The CEO of CloudTree recently addressed a national conference of IT staff from Australia’s mining industry in Western Australia and spoke of the popularity of cloud based software applications in these tough economic times. “Companies are embracing online applications quicker than ever, but let’s not fool ourselves”, Adam Robson, the CEO of CloudTree (a popular Australian online database solution) said at the conference.

With the extended downturn in most economies around the world, businesses are looking at cutting costs, outsourcing both personnel and infrastructure, as well as looking at reducing on-going costs by moving to cloud solutions. Besides being cost effective, cloud solutions offer companies the ability to deploy their workforce remotely using a range of internet enabled devices. In some cases, staffs do not have a physical presence in the office, instead accessing required data via a custom online database or other cloud applications developed specifically for the business. This is where having the best database software on the market pays its dividends.

“We’ve seen a large increase in companies approach CloudTree simply to move away from their current in-house server based applications due to the large expense incurred maintaining these systems”, Mr. Robson went on to say.

The company is looking forward to what 2013 has in store for not only their business and general database development, but the businesses they help. To learn more about the company, visit http://www.cloudtree.com.au/.

Accurate & affordable real estate appraisal data entry is something that can offload a lot of weight off a real estate appraiser.

San Jose, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/23/2012 -- Data entry for real estate appraisers is invariably a very tedious & complex task. Ask any real estate appraiser and he/she would vouch for that. Extensive data from various data providers such as MLS, prior sale history records from NDC or Realquest, county tax records for the subject and all the comparable sales and listings need to be documented and assimilated for valuation of any given property. At times, if the observations are not properly organized, even a seasoned real estate appraiser will find his job difficult. While real estate appraisals can be very lengthy work as such, however hiring appraisal data entry services can greatly help tread through this part of the process, which involves considerable amount of typing and data input.

A professional appraisal assistant would ensure that the work done is of highest grade in terms of quality. A competent service provider judiciously hires talented and qualified professionals for carrying out this work and trains them for several months. It is a cost-effective solution, however it is imperative to bank upon a provider who adheres to industry standards and is available round-the-clock for ready assistance.

Though there are several online tools available such as Data Master, automated MLS integration tools from software providers, but only a real estate appraiser knows how useful these tools are, as the latter still need to verify all the data and fill in the gaps. ieIMPACT’s experienced typists does this for appraisers and fills in those gaps, which helps save 1-2 hours per report for any appraiser.

It is recommended to look for a provider who has a robust and easy to use online system and guarantees absolute privacy. In most cases an appraiser assistant or an appraisal typist would be required to upload the necessary documents which need to be entered.

This is where ieIMPACT comes to the forefront. As the company makes it as simple as this

i) Appraiser Sends:
1. Empty Template or Cloned File
2. MLS data of the subject property and Comparables as applicable.
3. Public/County Tax Records.

ii) Appraiser Gets back:

Los Angeles, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/23/2012 -- With the increase in demand for Apple’s most coveted iPhone 4S/5 models also rise the demand for iPhone cases. Many people recognized the need to protect their precious device from daily wear and tear through the use of case covers.

In this regard, Grizzly Gadgets , one of the leading retailers of iPhone cases announces that they have added to their collection more than 100 new case designs for the iPhone 5 and 4S models. “We would like to give our customers a wide range of options when it comes to choosing a case cover for their iPhone. Now that additional designs are added to our list of products, customers will be able to choose the style and design that is most suitable to their lifestyle, preference and budget,” Anton Kostiuk spokesperson for Grizzlygadgets.com said.

Some of the popular iPhone cases now are manufactured using superior materials such as silicon with anti-microbial protection, carbon fiber, plush microfiber, PU leatherette, original leather and those that are made of dual-layer materials. These materials are best known for strength, durability and being light weight and they provide the best protection for your iPhone. When it comes to design, there are many options available now in the market. For women, common choices are those with vibrant feminine colors such as pink, red, purple and even white. Rhinestone embellishments are also very popular. For men, popular designs are more simplistic and without flashy colors; brown, black and white are popular choices. Customers can find a great range of these popular designs at Grizzlygadgets.com.

“We have a huge collection of iPhone cases of different materials, makes and designs. Customers can easily browse through these cases by visiting our Website,” said Kostiuk. He also added, “Each of the products available in our Website has a product description that contains all the important details of that product. Take time to read them as a guide in buying.”

When buying a case for iPhone 4 and 4S, one can easily be overwhelmed by the variety of designs and styles available in the market and sometimes making a choice becomes more challenging. This is especially true when buying online because you cannot personally scrutinize the product being sold. In such case, the product description is really important because it serves as a guide on the important features you need to know about the product you are interested in.

Additionally, choosing your iPhone case will be a lot easier if you know what factor you are looking for. It could be the materials used, unique designs, features, color or the price. Then from these factors, you can narrow-down your options into several choices that meet your criteria. Choosing the best case that meets your preferences will then be easier.

From 2005 to 2011, the overall number of cigarette smokers has fallen

San Francisco, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/23/2012 -- The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCP) has released a report stating that the overall percentage of adult cigarette smokers in the United States has dropped from 20.9% in 2005, to 19% in 2011.

Unfortunately, the report also shows that there was little to no drop from 2010 to 2011.

Let us look at some other numbers from the report: People who smoke more than 30 cigarettes a day fell from 12.6% in 2005 to 9.1% in 2011, while those who smoke between one and nine rose from 16.4% in 2005 to 22% in 2011.

As far as age and ethnicity, here are the numbers from the report: In 2011, 21% of smokers were men, while 16.5% were women. The lowest percentage of smokers by ethnicity came from non-Hispanic Asians at 9.9%, but was highest in non-Hispanic American Indians/Alaskan Natives at 31.5%.

It was found that people above the age of 65 made up 7.9%, the lowest of any age demographic, while between the ages of 25 and 44 made up the highest percentage with 22.1%. The report also showed that those people living under the federal poverty line made up 29%, while those above made up 17.9%.

A new statistic in this year’s report measured the number of smokers among the disabled community. The results found that 25.4% were made up of people who said they had a disability, while 17.3% were those who said they did not.

The report showed progress, but the “Healthy People 2020” target is 12% of adult smokers. This would mean a 7% drop in just eight years, but with new smoke-free laws, the higher retail value of tobacco, the ability to get better quitting treatments, along with strong media campaigns, the target is not out of reach.

The report gave credit to the 2009 Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act as well as the Food and Drug Administration for their new policy of regulation in the tobacco industry. The report said that with all of the new laws coming in every day about smoking, it could potentially accelerate the decline in adult smokers over the next decade.

In the report, the CDCP said that a reason we may have seen a recent slowing of percentage decrease is due to state funding for programs. According to the numbers, just two states last year funded control programs at an adequate level, while over half funded with less the one-fourth of adequate levels. If this can be rectified, the CDCP expects to see a large percentage decrease in adult smokers, but it needs to come from the state level. The federal government can only do so much. When the money is given to the states, it is their responsibility to see to it that the money goes to the right places.

The CDCP report should open eyes and give people pause for thought. If the country can decrease its percentage of adult smokers, it can lower spending on medical care and save millions for better use. With so many people getting sick from tobacco related diseases, it consistently takes away from the medical system’s budget and energy, which ultimately can be avoided.

The internet has helped in the job market, but how can it help you and your business?

San Francisco, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/23/2012 -- Due to the technology boom and things like the internet, social media, and blogging break through, companies need to understand what can make them successful when it comes to hiring talent and keeping it.

A Bisnow event (Association and Non-Profit Human Capital Strategies) last week helped convey how best to attract and hold onto great employees in today’s world.

A panel of experts answered questions and gave tips to companies looking to progress in such an internet friendly society of today.

One of the most important things a company can do when trying to attract great employees, according to the panel, is branding. The majority of companies say that employer branding is crucial to their success as it provides a base of what the company is and what it can do. In 2012, a “State of Employer Branding” study found that over half of surveyed companies have upped their employer branding investment with good results.

The question of “how can we enhance our employer brand?” was answered with “word of mouth.” One of the best things a company can do is have word of mouth references that make them look good. If the employees are happy, they will spread the word, and that will help the company recruit new employees and increase notoriety.

However, for this to work, employees must be happy to start with. “How do we do that?” Well, according to the panel, many non-profit organizations simply cannot pay as much as profit organizations, so employers need to be creative said the panel. Bettering work-life balance, fun opportunities, and leadership training programs are all ways to keep your employees happy. Stuff that makes them feel like they matter is always a plus because no one is going to recommend a company after being miserable.

Another way to increase reputation is through social media. Yes, it is the world we live in and whether you like it or not, social media is taking over. Potential employees search social media and without a presence, companies just do not stand a chance.

Finally, do not assume your employees are happy with their work. Make sure to check in on them and really offer a personal touch. According to the panel, people want love and companies who are ultimately successful give their employees a sense of purpose.

In conclusion, it is a simple cycle. In order to recruit great talent, companies must make their current talent happy. If your employees are happy they will talk to people about it, which will increase your branding. If you increase your branding by word of mouth and through things like social media, you will attract more talent. When you attract more talent, your business grows and becomes successful.

Hurricane damage in information avoided at minimal cost

San Francisco, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/23/2012 -- Some Northeast business owners who suffered damage as a result of Hurricane Sandy were able to get their businesses up and running within a matter of hours after the storm passed, thanks in part to having the foresight to backup their critical information and data on computer systems with offsite backup services.

Business owners may have suffered physical losses, such as computers, furniture, even entire building structures, but with the flip of a power switch were able to get back to business and have access to the information that keeps their businesses running, whether customer data, financial records, or inventory totals.

Advanced Nutraceuticals LLC, a company that manufactures and distributes raw materials for nutritional supplements, found out the value of backing up their data in this manner.

Advanced Nutraceuticals executives Bob Alfano and Kamila Molinelli discovered that, two days after the storm had passed, the brick building that housed their Bergen, N.J.-based business had been destroyed. The building had six feet of standing water, ruined much of the physical property of the company, including computers, paper files, and many other things vital to their business.

However, the following day, the contacted Regus, a company that offers temporary office space with all of the amenities, including electricity, Wi-Fi access, furniture, even a receptionist.

Once they acquired some computers to bring to their temporary East Rutherford, N.J. location, all Alfano and Molinelli had to do was plus the computers in, access the Internet, and they were able to download all of their data that they had stored with three separate services – Carbonite, Intuit, and Norton – and they were able to resume their business operation that afternoon.

All of this cost the company approximately $2,000 per year.

"That&aposs a small price to pay," said Alfano.

Alfano, who noted that Advanced Nutraceuticals, which is a small- to medium-sized company, earns slightly less than $10 million in sales annually. Their effort paid off because two other backups, in the form of onsite servers, that the company hag were lost to floodwaters.

Hackensack, N.J.-based information technology company Synetek Solutions managing partner Jhovanny Rodriguez said offsite backups in data centers are important because businesses often cannot recoup their losses once they lose their data.

Rodriguez added that companies hoping to remain operational when disaster strikes should seriously consider remote hosting their data, both to keep it safe and to allow them to remain functional, even if they have no power. Waiting to make that decision at the last minute, however, can be troublesome.

“In the middle of a disaster,” Rodriguez said, “trying to move the data … it becomes a little difficult.”

Data centers can be affected by storms like Sandy as well. For example, one key data center in the lower Manhattan section of New York City was flooded, knocking out major websites and causing issues with international phone calls.

Most data centers have enormous generators that can be called upon to supply power should service be lost due to storm damage, allowing them to operate during natural disasters and supply customer’s data to them uninterrupted.
