While there is plenty of advice out there on how to pinch your pennies a little tighter, you don't see as much counsel about investments. This is because investments are scary and a little intimidating to consider. What many people don't realize is that you don't have to understand the stock market to be an investor. Investors are people who take a calculated financial risk, with the hope that the money they spend will pay itself off many times over in the future. There are lots of ways the average person can do this, 3 of which I'll discuss below.
Buy a Home – Not everybody sees home ownership in their future, but its an option that more should consider. There are many arguments for buying a house. For one, you'll be building equity, not throwing your money in the rent-toilet. Two, your mortgage payments will always be less than you will pay to rent the same property. Three, the interest rates are as low today as they are likely to be in your lifetime. Four, as you develop equity, you'll be able to get home equity loans, one of the cheapest ways to get money around. Need more convincing? One day, you may even be able to be a landlord yourself, letting other people pay YOU to live in your house. Buying a house is a big expense, but it will pay off in huge ways if you are careful.
Getting Further Education – If you are out of school, going back may be the last thing on your mind. But maybe its time to look at your likely career path. How much more can you expect to make than you do now? How secure is your field? How satisfied are you with your work? Does your current employer allow you enough time to cultivate your favorite parts of your life? If you are less than satisfied with any of these factors, or others you may think of, it may be time to go back to school. You can choose to advance your education within your field, with a certification or associate's degree. Or you may decide to strike out on some new course. Whatever the case, try to take on no more debt than you could pay back in two years of working. This may not be realistic for all, but just make sure your debt doesn't outdo all of the extra pay you'll be bringing in for your new knowledge and experience.
Sell Heirlooms and Structured Settlements – Many people have assets they don't think about a lot. You may have family heirlooms, bonds, or a structured settlement that you could easily sell to bring in extra money. In the case of settlements, sometimes the timing on settlements doesn't allow you to scrape together a lump sum in order to make real investments. By selling your settlement, you'll be able to have the money in one place, to do either of the preceeding. Or you can find another savings or investment application for your money. You'll have to check with the courts on this one, but if you are using the funds to generate more money, they'll usually sign off on it. The same holds true for your heirlooms, though you'll have to be the judge on whether its a good idea or not. Just invest the money in something that'll pay off for you in the long run, and it'll likely be a good choice.

Eastern Notes: Zaitsev, Niskanen, Mayfield, Komarov
April 27, 2019 at 8:56 pm CDT | by Holger Stolzenberg 2 Comments
After another disappointing exit for the Toronto Maple Leafs, in which the team lost in a Game 7 to the rival Boston Bruins, has left the team with nothing more than an off-season to look forward to for the remainder of the year, many expect changes to be made to an already strong, but flawed roster.
The Athletic's Ian Tulloch (subscription required) grades out each player for the season, breaking down who were the elite players on the team and who struggled throughout the season. While it's no surprise that the Maple Leafs problems often centered on their defense, Tulloch points out that both Nikita Zaitsev and Ron Hainsey fell into the underwhelming category. Zaitsev, in particular, struggles to get the puck up the ice which often puts him constantly on the defensive, hence why his defensive numbers are so weak. Although his play has improved since being paired up with Jake Muzzin, Tulloch believes that Muzzin has been carrying him. The scribe adds that the Maple Leafs must find a way to rid themselves of Zaitsev's contract, which will be critical for general manager Kyle Dubas.
Of course, that's a tall task for Dubas as the underachieving defenseman has five more years on his contract at $4.5MM AAV and a modified no-trade clause kicking in this coming season, meaning that Toronto will have to give up something significant to a team that is willing to take on his salary.
In a playoff report card for the Washington Capitals, The Athletic's Chris Kuc (subscription required) grades out the defensive combination of Matt Niskanen and Dmitry Orlov with C's, suggesting that while neither defenseman hurt the team with their play, neither blue liner helped the team either. In fact, Kuc points out that at age 32, Niskanen is beginning to show signs of slowing down, compared to last year, and a sudden lack of jump could set the franchise back if he can't return to form next season. Niskanen still has two years remaining on his deal at a $5.75MM AAV.
Newsday's Andrew Gross writes that there is nothing to worry about after defenseman Scott Mayfield and forward Leo Komarov did not practice Saturday. Head coach Barry Trotz said that both players received maintenance days, but are expected to play in Game 2 of their series against the Carolina Hurricanes on Sunday. Komarov has a goal and an assist in five playoff games so far. Mayfield has averaged more than 20 minutes in his last two playoff games.

trading zaitsev would help cap wise but likely have to attach a high pick or decent prospect to a team looking to reach the floor.
also creates another hole on the blue line and highly doubt t they are planning to start rosen, sandin and liljegren in the top 6 next year.

The kids may very well be forced into "trial by fire", otherwise the Leafs may very well take a step backward…probably not what LeafsNation wants to hear or see…

2022 Healthcare Threat Landscape Review
Intelligence Disclaimer: This intelligence report has been prepared by ClearDATA. Intelligence analysis contained within the report is based on information derived from open-source reporting, ClearDATA internal data, and client data. Reference to any specific commercial products, process, or service by trade name, trademark, manufacturer, or otherwise, does not constitute or imply its endorsement or recommendation by ClearDATA.
Product Purpose
The ClearDATA 2022 Healthcare Threat Landscape Recap is intended for healthcare organization (HCO) leaders and their teams, to provide an overview of the year's security trends with recommendations to prepare security programs and aid in risk management.
From all-hands-on-deck critical vulnerabilities such as Log4j to an abundance of zero-day exploits in the wild, this past year has underscored the need for a unified security strategy as HCOs navigate an increasingly hostile threat landscape. With a 10.5% cost increase for healthcare data breaches over the past year, the stakes continue to rise as the challenges of remote work and the tapering effects of the COVID pandemic stretch HCO cybersecurity resources to their limits.i The relatively high value of stolen PII and PHI compared to stolen credit card information , combined with the inherent vulnerability to interruption of service for provider and other operational HCOs, make healthcare a tempting target for malicious threat actors.
Not only have the high financial stakes fueled more malicious activity, legal scrutiny has increased across all industries – a point driven home by the conviction of the former Uber CSO this year for felonies associated with the handling of a 2016 security incident. To counter these mounting external forces as they buffet the course of HCOs cybersecurity missions, managed defense and cyber threat intelligence will continue to gain prominence in achieving strategic security initiatives. Partnering with an experienced team of cybersecurity professionals to assist with defensive operations paired with curated, healthcare-specific threat intelligence can have an outsized return on investment in counteracting emerging threats to HCOs.
This end of year review highlights key trends, techniques, and threats gleaned not only from analysis of the broader cybersecurity spectrum, but also via ClearDATA's all-source threat intelligence and the aggregation of security events from hundreds of HCOs across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
Throughout 2022, healthcare was consistently one of the top five industry sectors targeted by cybercriminals. At its peak in Q2, healthcare was the top targeted sector, accounting for 21% of all security cases, according to market researcher Kroll. This suggests that any remaining goodwill expressed by threat actors toward healthcare industry operations during the pandemic has ceased. Combined with sustained remote worker numbers and the accompanying growth of cloud services, these factors have accompanied a marked shift in threat actor tactics as the healthcare sector proves too lucrative to resist.ii In Q3, economic forces unleashed by a wave of tech layoffs led to an increased threat from the vector of supply chain partners as they navigated significant layoffs capable of generating insider threats from ex-employees provided with opportunities from termination gaps or other unforeseen issues with the technological links between HR and access control. Across all industries, 35 percent of all unauthorized access security incidents were attributed to insiders.iii
Congress's introduction of the Healthcare Cybersecurity Act in October marked a heightened public awareness of the need for investment in healthcare security and initiatives to improve security postures across the entire healthcare sector. In 2022, nearly 200 consumer privacy bills were reviewed across 35 states, making it the most common variety under consideration. Five states passed comprehensive consumer privacy laws in 2022, with more likely to follow as HCOs suffered 849 reportable incidents, including 571 involving confirmed data disclosure over the past year iv, v. With the global cybersecurity market for healthcare projected to expand 15% each year through 2025, the industry will soon exceed $125 billion.vi
Compared to other market sectors in 2022, healthcare experienced the highest increase in cyber-attack volume and attack complexity and remained in the top 5 targeted sectors all year.vii, viii Once again, phishing persisted as a popular attack vector, with nearly half of the cybersecurity professionals interviewed by the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) reporting a phishing attack within the last 12 months. Other notable avenues of attack included business email compromise, one-time-password (OTP) message bypass, and credential compromise, as well as various message-based attacks such as smishing. Access attempts via external remote services such as RDP and VPN rose substantially, but exploitation of public-facing vulnerabilities increased nearly fifty percent by Q3, reinforcing the perception that cyber criminals will adapt by whatever means necessary to obtain remuneration.ix
The Apache Log4j vulnerability's impact was significant not only to HCOs, but also their vendor supply chains. Although initial targeting of the Log4j Java library began in December 2021, the remote code execution vulnerability generated long-lasting effects well into 2022 as HCOs ramped up remediation efforts to address the extensive attack surfaces impacted by the exploit. With the critical vulnerability capable of triggering remote code execution upon reception of a simple string from attackers, out-of-band patching procedures and readiness were battle-tested by the race to stay ahead of attackers targeting unpatched resources. ClearDATA predicts with high confidence that HCOs will continue to face targeting of this nature against not only their own tech stacks, but also through those of their vendor partners and potentially their vendor's vendor partners as more critical CVEs continue to arise.
In addition to tracking high-profile cases like Log4j, ClearDATA identified a variety of Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) that were deemed to present a substantive risk to HCO clients if exploited, and subsequently issued Threat Intelligence Advisories to assist with client preparation and response for events such as the active exploitation of severe vulnerabilities highlighted in the table below.
Ransomware activity continued as a leading trend throughout 2022, with individual actors tracked by the FBI across all industries collecting over $100 million in ransom payments.x Ransomware actors diversified not only in delivery tactics and techniques, but also in the makeup of the criminal groups themselves. World events such as the war in Ukraine, combined with growing governmental scrutiny, have incentivized threat actors to further adopt Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) and continue towards more decentralized group structures and fluid group identities in order to avoid attribution. The expanded utilization of the affiliate model by threat actors, with distributed malware developers contributing portions of the attack infrastructure and exploit code in return for a percentage of the ransom payout, reflects cybercriminal adaptation in response to attribution efforts, sanctions, and increased pressure from law enforcement.
More widespread use in 2022 of tactics such as double extortion reflected a heightened awareness by threat actors regarding their potential leverage over victims as well as increased flexibility towards their means of attaining payment. By threatening victims with exposure to regulators such as the EU's GDPR, their goal is to make ransom payment more appealing than government fines. Although there is no guarantee of a successful outcome from payment, even organizations with strong backup strategies may consider capitulation in fear of further penalties or to hasten recovery.
With more than half of healthcare incidents coming out to under $50K in ransom payment, it is another mark of pragmatism amongst cybercriminals as their tactics unique to the healthcare sector reflect a broader targeting scope to capitalize on vulnerabilities of smaller HCOs.xi There has also been a long-term trend observed with a reduction in dwell time, as threat actors reduce the window between initial access and deployment of encryption to a compromised environment. Together, these data points suggest that TTPs are shifting in favor of a higher tempo targeting model deemed more lucrative against HCOs only able to muster smaller ransom payouts.xii
Malware-as-a-Service (MaaS)
Another related 2022 healthcare cybersecurity trend was the volume of low-complexity malware attacks stemming from commercially available commodity malware. While Cobalt Strike and other offensive security tools often dominate the spotlight as examples of legitimate software repurposed for malicious use, ClearDATA observed threat actors leveraging numerous open-source security tools as a basis for developing new malware with access subsequently sold via Telegram, ICQ, and other forums. MaaS is available, inexpensive, and readily wielded in low-sophistication attacks by threat actors. Used in conjunction with targeting lists generated from scraping publicly available vulnerability data through tools such as Shodan being sold on various cybercrime platforms, there is demonstrated appeal to the affiliate model beyond ransomware. By allowing threat actors to purchase attacks and targeting data, including nearly turn-key malware components, cyber criminals can achieve their financial goals with less technical acumen required. These commodified targeting lists may also result in indiscriminate attacks against HCOs when such generic malware is combined with artifacts such as vulnerability scan data or domain lists from a third party source grouped around a particular exploit or address space. Despite the ubiquity of commercial MaaS, it should be judged no less effective. With zero-day exploits for common software observed available for lease, it further increases the likelihood of the MaaS model's continued presence as a key component of the cyber crime ecosystem.
Healthcare-Centric Threat Actor Highlights
Over the course of 2022, several threat actors stood out to ClearDATA not only for their sustained malicious activity levels, but also due to the likelihood of their future involvement in operations against healthcare providers.
LockBit
LockBit is the current evolution of an Eastern European cybercriminal group known as ABCD Ransomware, or the .abcd virus, that has been active as of 2019. The group has displayed ties to many prominent Russian and Eastern European ransomware and cybercriminal gangs. Early TTP's linked the group to similar groups active in the cybercrime ecosystem, such as Sodinikibi, Conti, Ryuk, and other groups. LockBit has gone through numerous iterations within its history (i.e. LockBit, LockBit 2.0 and LockBit 3.0), with differences between the iterations manifesting itself in TTP's regarding operations, malware, target selection, and financial movement. Builder code for LockBit 3.0 that was leaked in September 2022 also could impact future RaaS activity. Due to reverse engineering efforts observed on various malware forums, there is significant possibility of code reuse and the development of new ransomware variants based on LockBit 3.0. Both factors may potentially contribute to increased activity or further adaptation from LockBit, as well as rival threat actors leveraging such new variants. One tangible shift in philosophy for LockBit has been observed in a rare public statement made during the period of LockBit 2.0's activity that sharply contrasts with activities undertaken by LockBit 3.0. The following statement was made by an individual utilizing the moniker LockBitSupp, attributed to a spokesman for the group: "We do not attack healthcare, education, charitable organizations, social services – everything that contributes to the development of personality and sensible values from the 'survival of the species' perspective". This contrasts with recent actions taken by LockBit 3.0, who has taken up the largest share of activity in the power vacuum left by the dissolution of the Conti group, as LockBit 3.0 has also adopted practices held by Conti regarding targeting traditionally "soft" civil targets such as healthcare, education, and low-level civil targets.xiii, xiv
Evil Corp
ClearDATA identified the cybercriminal entity Evil Corp as an advanced persistent threat (APT) group that actively poses a clear threat to the healthcare industry and infrastructure. Evil Corp is the evolution of the group known as Indrik Spider that has been active as early as 2014, conducting numerous attacks across more than 40 countries and generating hundreds of millions (USD) in ransom payouts. Led by Russian national and noted cybercriminal, Maksim Yakubets, the Russian-based cybercriminal threat group (most known for the development and usage of the Dridex banking trojan) is suspected to have ties to the Russian government, although it is unknown the level of connection that exists between the two entities. Additionally, Evil Corp has utilized a wide variety of software in their operations to include Dridex, Bitpaymer, Cobalt Strike, Donut, Empire, Mimikatz, PsExec, and WastedLocker. In 2019, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) announced the indictments of Evil Corp leadership (Maksim Yakubets and Igor Turashev) on a variety of criminal charges. These indictments were also paired with sanctions from the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), issues against a variety of individuals, and entities linked with Evil Corp. In 2020, the group began to shift TTP's, particularly regarding exploitation/initial access methodology and payload signatures. These changes included: abandoning Dridex in favor of the SocGholish framework to obfuscate attribution attempts and the utilization of Cobalt Strike for initial entry/lateral movement. Evil Corp has also made strides in 2022 to adapt to measures taken by law enforcement and government entities, chiefly by switching from the Dridex malware to LockBit ransomware to avoid sanctions by obfuscating their involvement with ransomware attacks.xv
Daixin Team
ClearDATA identified the cybercriminal entity Daixin Team as an emerging APT group that actively poses a high threat to the healthcare industry and cybersecurity infrastructure. Daixin Team is a recent introduction to the healthcare threat actor stage, with activity observed by security researchers as early as June 2022 specifically targeting businesses and primary healthcare organizations. While the group is not the first cybercriminal group to specifically target healthcare entities, the focus the group places on the industry is seemingly unique, and worryingly indicative of a possible shift in TTP's and target focus by similar actor groups that may see healthcare organizations thrust into the front lines of entities targeted by black-hat actors traditionally occupied by less "mission-critical" and "essential public services" industries. Daixin Team conducts their operations by targeting and encrypting essential target servers deemed responsible for maintaining internal system infrastructure. This is typically achieved through the usage of phishing techniques to gain employee credentials or exploitation of unpatched vulnerabilities within the target's own virtual private network (VPN) servers. Once initial access is achieved, Babuk Locker source code is utilized for lateral movement to achieve privilege escalation, PII/PHI data identification for exfiltration and then exfiltration itself, before encrypting victim systems and the delivery of ransom notes to the victim detailing follow up actions to secure the retrieval of exfiltrated data. xvi, xvii
ClearDATA assesses with medium to high confidence (see Confidence Statement Disclaimer) that LockBit and Evil Corp will attempt to target HCOs. ClearDATA also assesses with high confidence that Daixin Team will attempt to target healthcare and healthcare-aligned organizations. The motivation due not only to the propensity of acquiring significant amounts of PHI (Protected Health Information) and PII (Personally Identifiable Information) from successful cyber criminal operations, but an extensive history of targeted operations specifically deployed against healthcare industry aligned victims.
Nation-State HCO Adjacent Activity
The state of the threat actor ecosystem within cybercrime is largely driven by the nature of nation-state actors expanding their use of independent black hat actors for conducting cyber-crime operations by proxy. Cybersecurity researchers have identified the following nations as the most responsible for supporting/sponsoring cybercriminal actor groups within their respective countries: Russian Federation, People's Republic of China (PRC), Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), and the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Given the heavy concentration of ransomware/cybercriminal gangs within eastern Europe and Russia, there have been numerous ties established or suspected between these actor groups and Russian law enforcement, paramilitary groups or intelligence services (FSB, SVR, GRU, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs). While this is a not a new development within the threat landscape, the development of their integration and use within the Ukraine-Russia conflict has been notable. As of late January 2022, Russian law enforcement made a series of arrests on notable ransomware figures to include members of the REvil ransomware group. While it was notable that this was the first time the Russian government acted publicly against a major ransomware entity, the timing was also significant due to it being a few weeks prior to the launch of Russian military operations conducted against Ukraine. In the weeks and hours prior to commencement of offensive operations by the Russian military, numerous sources reported a variety of focused cyber-attacks against critical Ukrainian infrastructure to include energy grids, emergency civil services, and military aligned infrastructure. This likely indicates a shift in TTPs by Russia, with these probing and initial hour attacks likely a permanent fixture to future operations conducted by Russia, particularly in force-on-force engagements. Additionally, one of the most notable instances of confirmed ties between black hat actors and the Russian government occurred in late February when major ransomware group Conti formally announced their support for the Russian government and its actions, although the group later retracted this support (not before causing a schism between the groups Russian and Ukrainian members).
Both PRC and DPRK also sponsor or support cybercriminal groups; however, the development and integration of that relationship between government agencies and those groups does not appear to have been advanced or prioritized like Russia has engaged with actor groups. While DPRK/PRC aligned groups are linked to ransomware and traditional malware attacks, the philosophy behind these operations is largely tied to intellectual property theft, fraud, phishing, and data theft. Cybersecurity researchers even estimate that due to the success of these operations by PRC aligned groups, income generated by these groups could massively jump within the coming years if not hampered by law enforcement.
Iranian supported groups find themselves aligned closer to Russia than China in terms of target selection and operations conducted. Iran is believed to operate out of shell companies that are affiliated with the IRGC, with members allegedly from Phosphorus, Charming Kitten, Cobalt Mirage, Nemesis Kitten and TunnelVision, all groups believed to be associated with the Iranian regime. As of September 2022, the Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) levied sanctions against 10 individuals and 2 entities for conducting malicious cyber activity, including ransomware. All designated individuals and entities are known affiliates of the IRGC and have operated since at least 2020.
ClearDATA assesses with high confidence that Russian and Iranian government agencies will continue to prioritize integration and support of Iranian, eastern European, and Russian-aligned cybercrime groups into operational roles within intelligence, law enforcement, and military agencies and entities. These groups will likely continue to prioritize attacks on civil infrastructure, emergency and essential services, and energy infrastructure due to the value of data, PII, PHI, and services provided by these industries and sectors, and the value of ransom that can be extracted as a result. ClearDATA assesses with medium to high confidence that PRC and DPRK will continue to support aligned cybercriminal group and activity, with a heavy prioritization on intellectual property, patent, and data theft.
As these geopolitical events continue to influence the healthcare threat landscape entering 2023, it is more important than ever for HCO leaders to invest strategically in key partnerships to augment perceived weaknesses, anticipate high-risk threats, and guide reinforcement of cyber defenses efficiently while achieving cybersecurity initiatives.
Preparation and response time are limited resources in any industry, but with HCOs stretched especially thin in the wake of COVID, it is vital to proactively maximize risk reduction efforts. Towards that goal, a fundamental discipline underpinning any strong cybersecurity program is vulnerability lifecycle management, including patching and remediation. The ability of HCOs and their partners to not only rally and apply critical out-of-band updates, but to also ensure their environments follow best practice development procedures is crucial to defending against RaaS, MaaS, and other trending threats against HCO infrastructure. In cases such as the severe vulnerabilities referenced above, identifying when to commit emergency resources is a factor of intelligence information, with analysis for risk assessment helping determine the appropriate response level, as well as budgetary commitment, to prevent potential incidents.
Another key area where HCOs can look for assistance is partnership with a security vendor to help defend their perimeter via web application firewall (WAF) and network intrusion prevention systems (IPS) management. With the application layer filtering of a WAF, it is possible to extend layer 7 protection against common attack vectors such as the OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities. Deployed in conjunction with the anti-exploit capabilities of an IPS system to allow visibility into all network layers and provide defense-in-depth, the WAF is a key component for minimizing the attack surfaces of a public-facing application.
ClearDATA Managed Defense has proven the value of this hybrid defense in practice, with 36% of all network blocks in 2022 coming from the application of managed malicious indicator blocklists indicators fed by our proprietary all source feeds. Continued leveraging of vendor partnerships for strengths in specialty areas that many HCOs may not have budget to staff in-house will likely continue to be an indicative trend carrying over into the next year as cybersecurity leaders find creative solutions in response to escalations of the RaaS and MaaS arms races.
Any security program is only as strong as its weakest link, and it is vital to ensure that the human component is a priority when allocating defensive resources. 2022 proved yet again that threat actors will often employ the least sophistication necessary for their attacks, leaning heavily on phishing, OTP bypass, and MFA abuse to penetrate defenses when technical exploits are not readily available. Because these attacks rely on social engineering and trickery to penetrate defenses through human fallibility, HCOs need people-centric education programs that focus on users identifying security risks and reacting correctly to scenarios including both established and emergent threat actor tactics. Awareness training alone, however, is not sufficient to equip organizations with the tools to support secure operations. Training for end users should be reviewed and updated regularly to reflect new tactics and threats to the organization.
This includes adaptations by attackers to standard practices such as MFA enablement. As seen in the Uber breach, their MFA security was overcome by a fatigue attack, granting cybercriminals access through persistent efforts targeting individual employees. In order to best defend against such attacks, it is important not only to provide personnel with regular training for known or likely scenarios, but also to foster an organizational culture that supports security-conscious decision-making as well communicating risk in order to respond appropriately to unfamiliar scenarios. It's vital to embrace security holistically as a component of the business's mission, not merely a cybersecurity issue or a tech problem.
Ultimately, any cybersecurity program is only as good as the people managing it and the intelligence used to drive decision-making. Defending against advanced threat actors requires a commitment from HCOs to continuously audit and adjust their defensive efforts and posture to help ensure the continuous security of their environments. ClearDATA is dedicated to sharing managed defense depth and expertise to help HCOs build strong defenses capable of weathering the cybersecurity challenges posed in the coming year.

…From the pages of South Jersey Biz…
How some local business leaders seized the opportunity to make it big in their field.
When it comes to success in business, there's no one-size-fits-all plan. Opportunities can present themselves anytime, but for many of South Jersey's business executives, their big break came in the form of an innovative idea for a business or the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in their chosen field.
In the case of Nicole Woodland-De Van, senior vice president of buying services and deliverables for Compas Inc., a Pennsauken-based media buying firm for the health care industry, her first big break occurred when she was asked to fill in for her manager while she went out on maternity leave.
A recent college graduate, Woodland-De Van was working as an assistant account executive at the time. She sat in high-level executive meetings in an administrative capacity, where she mainly took notes. "The months in those meetings led to years [with the company], and really taught me a lot about what makes a business run, what its challenges are, and how to deal with them," she says.
It was that solid foundation that helped her snap into action for what she calls the second break of her career. When she was an executive for Beyond Branding, once Compas' pharmaceutical promotional material division, the company was offered a rare opportunity to assume business from one of its competitors—without warning or time to prepare.
"We successfully transitioned that client onto our services, and grew their business with us dramatically over the time I managed that group," she says. "It was that fast and furious, learn-on-your-feet opportunity and experience that shaped me [as a business professional]. … It gave me the confidence to continue to learn and grow."
Fifteen years later, she is responsible for both Compas' buying execution operations as well as the supplier partnership team, who work to facilitate relationships with the publisher partners the company works with every day.
For Robert Worley, senior vice president and New Jersey market manager for Republic Bank, the opportunity to grow with a company also proved to be a career-changing advantage. He began his 35-year career in commercial lending, but has been serving as a geographic market manager for more than two decades. He credits his long-term success to a position with Commerce Bank earlier in his career.
"I landed a job with the bank when it was small—but growing," he says. "I worked with a lot of forward-thinking, visionary professionals at Commerce, and ultimately found myself at this fast-growing company that served as the big break of my career," he says.
However, Worley notes that success in the business world is about a lot more than landing the right position at the right time. "You have to do the best job you can in any position, because that's what's going to put you in the running for new opportunities," he explains. That's why Republic Bank sought him out to serve as the company's New Jersey market manager, and today he is finding personal satisfaction in his responsibilities for all of the sales, services and products in the region—not the least of which is building relationships with local residents and business professionals.
"Being able to provide people with financial solutions, and help them achieve their goals, is the more rewarding part of my job," he says. "It's wonderful to help others achieve personal and business success right here in the South Jersey region."
Joseph Pilato, vice president of commercial sales for Cook Maran and Associates, a Marlton-based insurance company, also touts the value of forging strong relationships in the business community. Pilato's big break also came in the form of securing the right position for his skill set. After graduating college in a difficult economy, he struggled with finding the right position, and held sales jobs at companies ranging from sound and video equipment to office supplies. It wasn't until he landed his first job in the insurance industry with Liberty Mutual that he began to take the first steps towards his career. "That was absolutely my big break; it was this major company with opportunities to grow and a path to a future," he recalls.
However, Pilato quickly discovered that his positions in sales would serve him well in his new role. Today, his prime responsibility is growing the company by bringing in new clients, as well as retaining the firm's current client base. That often means having to be creative and innovative in coming up with new and better ways to help set the company apart in the eyes of potential clients.
"It's a performance-oriented business, just like any sales job. … You can't be a sales person unless you know how to successfully sell and generate growth and revenue for the company," he says. That often means relying on another element of success in the business world: coming through for your clients.
"When someone needs me—whether it's helping them reduce the cost of their insurance or making sure they have proper coverage—it's rewarding to be able to deliver for them," he says. "I feel good about my work, and truly have a reason for doing what I do."

If you don't want to lose control of your data, yet enjoy all the benefits of an always-available and synchronized online repository, you can turn to ownCloud, an application that lets users share and sync files within the confines of your enterprise firewall on servers you control.
This article describes in some detail how to install Samhain, the host based intrusion detection system. I am not going to ramble on about what host based intrusion detection is or why to use it, as there are plenty of articles already covering those subjects.
This guide explains how to set up an NFS server and an NFS client on CentOS 5.5. NFS stands for Network File System; through NFS, a client can access (read, write) a remote share on an NFS server as if it was on the local hard disk.
CentOS is a venerable server OS, no doubt about it! But when it comes to desktop, the same OS is a pig - you can't tame it to your liking.
The important aspect of graphing is that it enables a busy administrator to evaluate a server visually, often making more sense than strings of data. NagiosGrapher is a tool that you can use with Nagios to graph information that you want to evaluate as an administrator. This tutorial will show you how to install NagiosGrapher in preparation for the data to be graphed.
This tutorial shows how to set up a high-availability storage with two storage servers (CentOS 5.4) that use GlusterFS. Each storage server will be a mirror of the other storage server, and files will be replicated automatically across both storage servers. The client system (CentOS 5.4 as well) will be able to access the storage as if it was a local filesystem.


For us, Jeeps are a part of everday life. Whether its going to work, or dropping our children off at school, we are always in our Jeep. On the weekends hopefully its off-road somewhere.
As a Jeep lover and all around Jeep enthusiast I wanted to start a blog with the hopes of bringing and sharing some news about the lifestyle and the brand.


In Aligning for Advantage, it is argued that to deliver successfully on a company's overarching purpose and intent, competitive strategy needs to be synchronized with strategies for political and regulatory activism and social and environmental engagement. Moreover, these market and nonmarket strategies must be equally attuned with, and informed by, the corporate vision, values, and objectives. The ability to align with and across both the market and the nonmarket is a key determinant of competitive advantage in a multipolar world economy. A managerial process and a conceptual framework are advanced for aligning a company's business objectives and market positions with its political requirements and social obligations. Strategic alignment is a pragmatic and proactive approach for modern enterprises to engage with the forces and events affecting their business choices and actions at home and abroad. Companies must strive for a balanced and mutually reinforcing approach to corporate strategy, political activity, and social responsibility. In some cases, alignment may mean deep, strategically embedded partnerships with governments, NGOs, or other stakeholders. In others, alignment may consist of looser, more ad hoc collaborations with outside organizations and institutions. Whatever the approach, the relationship between nonmarket and market strategies should be conscious and deliberate, not accidental or artificially constructed. Truly aligned strategies seek to reconcile and modulate the sometimes conflicting external demands that a company encounters in a way that is appropriate for the firm's geographic and market positions, while at the same time leveraging the overall nonmarket strategy as a source of competitive advantage.


Crash weight loss diets that enjoy short-term popularity are often referred to as fad diets.
However… this term seems to have lost its meaning.
It has basically just become a term of abuse for any diet that someone disagrees with.
Surprisingly, the low-carb diet is often called a "fad," usually by people who don't approve of the diet for some reason.
But I personally think it is unfair to put low-carbin the same category as the Cabbage Soup Diet or the Morning Banana Diet.
This diet (or "way of eating") has been around for a very long time and has strong scientific evidence to back it up (1, 2, 3).
Here are 6 reasons to stop calling low-carb a "fad" diet.
"Fads" come and go… but low-carb diets have been popular for a long time.
Since way before saturated fat was demonized, low-carb diets were commonly used for the purpose of weight loss.
The world's first popular diet book was called Letter on Corpulence, published in the year 1863 by an obese English man named William Banting.
In this book, he outlines a low-carb diet that had been prescribed to him by his physician, but many doctors were using low-carb diets to treat obesity at this time.
Only when people started blaming saturated fat and dietary cholesterol for heart disease (which was misguided) did low-carb diets fall out of mainstream favour.
Bottom Line: The first popular low-carb book was published in 1863 and low-carb diets were used by many physicians as early as the 19th century.
For decades, we've been told to eat a "balanced" low-fat diet.
This diet is low in saturated fat, but high in carbohydrates.
Although it was originally based on weak evidence, it became public policy in the year 1977 with the release of the first set of dietary guidelines for Americans (4).
A similar diet is now recommended all over the world and the recommendations have barely changed since then.
Even though promoters of the low-fat diet like to dismiss low-carb as a "fad," the first Atkins book was actually published in the year 1972… 5 years before the low-fat guidelines first came out.
Dr. Robert Atkins, arguably the most famous diet book author in history, had lost weight himself using the diet and had been using it on his patients for many years before writing the book.
He originally learned about the diet in a scientific paper written by a physician named Alfred Pennington, published in the Journal of The American Medical Association back in 1963… 14 years before the low-fat guidelines (5).
If "fad" implies something temporary, then we might just as well call the standard low-fat diet a fad. It is rapidly falling out of favour, based on high quality, long-term studies showing that it clearly does not work (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11).
Bottom Line: The first Atkins book was published in 1972, based on a scientific study that Dr. Atkins read about low-carb diets back in 1963. This happened way before the first official low-fat guidelines were published.
There are several examples of populations that have eaten very little carbs, but remained in good health.
Two of the most notable ones are the Inuit and the Masai.
The Inuit lived in the arctic regions of North America and Greenland, where very little plant food was available year-round.
They ate almost nothing but animal foods, but were in excellent health (12, 13).
The Masai in Africa also ate a low-carb, high-fat diet, mostly from meat, milk and cow's blood. When they were studied, researchers noted that they were in excellent health as long as they ate their traditional diet (14).
Bottom Line: There are several examples of entire populations living on a low-carb, high-fat diet in excellent health for many generations. Two notable examples are the Inuit and the Masai.
A lot of people claim that low-carb diets haven't been shown to be safe and effective.
13 years ago, this may have been true.
But since the year 2002, over 20 randomized controlled trials have been published in respected, peer-reviewed journal.
Not a single serious adverse effect has ever been attributed to the diet.
Not only that… but these studies also show that low-carb diets lead to better results than the low-fat diet still recommended by the mainstream.
Low-carb leads to more weight loss, especially from the abdominal cavity (the dangerous visceral fat). It also significantly improves HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, blood sugar, insulin levels and blood pressure (15, 16, 17, 18, 19).
This diet also changes the size of LDL particles from small, dense to Large… and tends to reduce LDL particle number (all good things). LDL and Total cholesterol levels do not increase, on average, although some individuals may see increases (20,21).
The truth is, few things in nutrition have been demonstrated as thoroughly as the superiority of low-carb diets.
Bottom Line: Over 20 randomized controlled trials have demonstrated that low-carb diets are both safe and effective. They lead to more weight loss and greater improvements in health markers than the low-fat diet.
Some people claim that low-carb diets are unsustainable.
The reason, they say, is that cutting out food groups will lead to feelings of deprivation.
However… it's important to keep in mind that all diets restrict something, either food groups or calories.
Restricting calories is just as likely to lead to feelings of deprivation as restricting food groups.
That being said, most of the controlled trials comparing low-carb and low-fat diets did report the number of people who made it all the way to the end of the study.
These studies clearly showed that there is no huge difference between groups. If anything, more people in the low-carb groups manage to finish.
One plausible explanation for this is that low-carb diets significantly reduce appetite and lead to automatic calorie restriction (22).
This is the reason the low-carb groups are usually allowed to eat until fullness in these studies, while the low-fat groups are calorie restricted and hungry.
Bottom Line: Low-carb diets tend to reduce the appetite, so people can often eat until fullness and still lose weight. This may be the reason that they appear to be even easier to stick to than low-fat diets.
Many health professionals use low-carb diets on their patients.
This is not surprising, given the immense amount of evidence that has accumulated in recent years.
I've previously written about 17 doctors and 11 registered dietitians that not only use low-carb and/or paleo diets in their practice, but are actively blogging about it.
Since writing these articles, I have found numerous others… and for each one that starts a blog, you can assume that many more are using the diet in their practice.
Although low-carb diets are clearly not necessary for everyone, studies have shown them to be very effective against certain diseases.
This includes obesity, type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome… which happen to be the biggest health problems in the world.
It is simply inexcusable to dismiss this potential cure as a "fad" – then continue to promote a low-fat diet that science has shown to be completely ineffective.
Just had to say, LCHF is by no means a fad started in the fall of 2012 @ 332 pounds and today 12/16/14 I weigh in at 277. Now I have had my ups and downs give or take five pounds but have been very satisfied and have brought my LOL and Triglycerides into check as well.
Very informative and well-written article. I've bookmarked it and will read it again, when in doubt. -I tend to get that, once in a while, when skepticts "mess" with my head. But the most important thing for me is to REMEMBER how satiated and well I feel when eating LC vs. low calorie food.
I totally agree. I've just watched Cereal Killers and the evidence is just amazing. The more people who convert to LCHF, the better off the world's population will be. I have lost 10kgs so far and my husband (who is Type 2 Diabetic) has lost 12kgs. We are not looking back. I started a blog about our journey http://www.lowcarborama.com and I hope I can help get more information out there so we can grow the LCHF way of eating.


Yesterday's virtual workshop was a great success, with over 50 participants learning from Joanne Drummond and Courtney Peterson about the value of yearly action by communities at risk.
If you are a Firewise Community and have yet to renew for 2015, the virtual workshop can help guide you through that process and explain the value of you sharing the story.
A big part of strengthening community involvement in preparedness is education. When you can demonstrate how Firewise practices can help your neighbors to protect their homes and property, they see firsthand what they can do. Plus, they are motivated to take action. The Firewise program is a vital source for these kinds of materials — and they are provided free of charge.
In Part 1, Firewise How-To introduces the resources available on its website that can be useful to your community and some of the ways you might put them to use.
In Part 2, which will be posted this Thursday, How-To will discuss the growing popularity of Firewise materials and how you can access them.
Did you know that the Firewise website offers a variety of resources for promoting Firewise practices within your community, and that you can order these materials at no charge, with no shipping costs?
These resources include informational brochures, booklets, DVDs, stickers and more.
How can your community use these Firewise materials to meet its goals for protecting homes and property in the event of a wildfire?
For starters, if you're planning to host a fire department open house, Community Wildfire Protection Plan meeting, Firewise Day or other wildfire prevention awareness meeting, consider getting some materials to hand out as a complement to your event.
Providing print materials can help attendees remember the key principles you aim to impart. And when they get home, they can refresh their memories by reviewing critical information. They also can keep it handy to remind them of helpful activities they can do. And they can use the information to create checklists of the actions they can take to make their properties and homes safer.
While brochures and booklets are handy handouts at Firewise Days, fire department open houses, home owners association meetings and neighborhood gatherings, DVDs can reinforce key messaging during educational forums, or when displayed at fairs and other community events. They also can be given out, so that community members can view them at home with their families or neighbors, offering important reminders backed by memorable visuals.
Firewise materials also have been included in welcome baskets for new home owners, helping them understand the responsibilities that accompany living in wildland/urban interface(W/UI) communities. These educational pieces are often referenced in press releases and at media events as well, further reminders to community members about the actions they can take to protect their property and neighborhoods.
Check back this Thursday when Firewise How-To will discuss the growing popularity of Firewise materials and how you can access them.
Lincoln Bramwell, Ph.D., the Chief Historian for the USDA Forest Service, will be a featured speaker on Friday October 23rd at the Backyards & Beyond Wildfire Education Conference. He will be speaking about how homeowners expose themselves to an environmental force beyond their control when they build homes in wildfire prone areas.
Conference participants will learn more about how public expectations, firefighting success, accumulating fuels, climate change and more people moving into wilderness areas has created a prescription for the inevitable wildland urban interface fire situation.
The new generation of veterans are finding meaningful employment and a renewed sense of mission working to reduce the wildfire risk in South Dakota.
Lt. Tim Weaver of the Rapid City, SD Fire Department and Jerry Derr of Meade County, SD employ recently discharged vets on a mitigation crew providing them an opportunity to utilize skills learned in the military on a new mission.
Veterans come to an employer with a strong work ethic, self-discipline, and experience working in a team but often find difficulty translating that to a fulfilling sense of accomplishment in the private sector. Rapid City's mitigation crew is helping them do just that.
Rapid City Fire is actively engaged in working with homeowners in NFPA's Firewise program but found that there are large areas that border the City under private and other government ownership that needed serious fuel reduction. In cooperation with the Bureau of Land Management's, ( BLM) Wildfire Community Assistance Program, vets were hired as crew and the City put up $250K in equipment so that those areas could be worked.
The crew works on parcels from 10 to 100 acres to reduce the threats adjacent to neighborhoods creating shaded fuel breaks of 300-400 feet. This provides a vital link in the overall strategy of reducing the risk to neighborhoods and communities at very little cost to the jurisdiction, but that is only part of the story.
Besides learning fire mitigation and forestry knowledge and skills, these vets are feeling a sense of community, of doing something important. At the same time, most are also in college or tech schools. Several have moved on to become firefighters, including Dave Ferrier, a former Marine, who joined the Wyoming Hotshots this May and was active on the fires in the Pacific NW this summer. See them in action here.
"I have a love for my community and a love for veterans and this program brings that together", says Weaver. "They help us, and we help them, it's a win-win".
The veterans that move through the Rapid City program become part of Weaver's extended family, keeping in contact with him as they progress and grow. "I get just as much out of this program as they do", said Weaver. "I grow with them".
Tim will be presenting his program with co-speaker Jerry, "Heroes in the Woods", at NFPA's Backyards and Beyond Conference in Myrtle Beach on Thursday, Oct. 22, 2015 from 2:15-3:15. If you plan on attending, don't miss this presentation! See you there!

Thanks for all you do to keep your community safer from wildfire.
Conferences are more than just exhibitor interaction and agency networking – which this year's Backyards & Beyond Conference in Myrtle Beach, SC, has in great value – but are also solid educational opportunities for you to learn new ideas and bring them back to enhance your local efforts.
This year's conference has over 50 educational sessions on that Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, covering topics like community safety approaches; wildfire suppression and operations; social and ecological research; new technology; and policy adoption.
Keynote presentations will focus on fire response; building relationships; the developing WUI; data use; and insurance incentives in the WUI.
The value of educational offerings at Backyards & Beyond is known by others as well.
"This conference has a great variety of education for everyone, from the Firefighter to Elected Officials or from the Homeowner to the Land Developer. The quantity of short presentations allows each participant to attend varied educational tracks to return home with a plethora of knowledge about wildfire and what steps can be done to mitigate and prevent the devastation to homeowners, businesses and communities."
Register today to attend Backyards & Beyond 2015 in Myrtle Beach, SC, and gain valuable knowledge for the work you do every day in keeping communities safer from wildfire.
Join the Firewise Program at 1:00pm EDT on Tuesday, September 29, as we learn from state and local experts about the value of community action and the importance of sharing that local story.
The virtual workshop will highlight why Firewise requires and collects this information; how communities can tell their success story; and the value in sharing this achievement with others.
This will be helpful for all those at the local level, especially existing communities and new community point of contacts both navigating the renewal process and understanding this yearly value.
The speakers will be Courtney Peterson, Wildfire Mitigation Education Coordinator with the Colorado State Forest Service, and Joanne Drummond, Executive Director of the Fire Safe Council of Nevada County, CA.
They will share the value they see in local community action and how volunteer work by communities at risk is making the difference in wildfire preparedness across the nation.
Youth living in a community with a wildfire risk believe one of the most important contributions they can make to their family is helping prepare their household pets and horses to evacuate in the event of a wildfire or other natural disaster.
Take a few minutes and share these resources with the young adults, teachers and youth leaders in your life, and help give our teens an opportunity to play a role in helping both their animals and family be better prepared for wildfires. Being familiar with what happens in an evacuation, knowing how and when to leave, and building a kit for each animal increases the likelihood that all family members will leave safely and together long before a fire reaches their property.
Foresters, do you need CFE credits? Well, here's some good news! The Society of American Foresters has approved NFPA's 2015 Backyards & Beyond® Wildland Fire Education Conference as a provider for professional Continuing Forestry Education credits.
Credits are also available for those who attended either the Assessing Wildfire Hazards in the Home Ignition Zone or the Prepare, Mitigate, and Respond with GIS pre-conference workshops.
CFE Attendance Forms will be available at the NFPA Conference Registration Desk. Simply fill out the form during the conference and return it back to the registration desk before the end of the conference to receive credits for work completed. Attending Backyards & Beyond will also provide you with a good opportunity to network with people from different fields to broaden your knowledge about the latest in wildfire mitigation techniques.
Other reasons to mulch are to control soil erosion, control dust, prevent soil compaction and to create a more visually pleasing landscape design.
I remembered a Firebreak blog that a good colleague previously wrote about mulches and I decided to take a look at some of the choices out there with their flammability in mind.
When choosing mulches close to the home, especially in wildfire prone areas, it is important to take care to make a mulch choice that will help you use less water and be Firewise. The NFPA's Wildland Fire Operations Division has developed a helpful virtual workshop on research about the ignitability of mulch.
There have been some very interesting studies about types of organic mulches and their flammability including recycled rubber. Some organic mulch types studied in a University of Arizona research project included pine needles, bark nuggets, shredded bark, grass sod, garden compost, wood chips, and wheat straw. In this study, pine needles, straw and wood chips have the greatest flame length. In yet another study by the University of Nevada Cooperative Extension, The Combustibility of Landscape Mulches, all of the mulches evaluated were combustible under the test conditions of dry, hot and windy weather and more than 2½ months of outdoor exposure. The mulches in this study that produced the top 3 flame lengths were recycled rubber, pine needles and shredded Western Red Cedar.
Wildfire simulations at the IBHS Research Center demonstrate that the location of the mulch within the first 5 feet of the home that can contribute greatly to a home ignition. On the Wildfire Demonstration page of their website, IBHS states, "The mulch and vegetation in the re-entrant (interior) corner was ignited by embers, and subsequently ignited the combustible siding, resulting in rapid flame spread to the soffited eaves." The dictionary definition of a re-entrant corner is where the angle points inward. It is here where embers can easily collect and cause mulch to ignite other flammable materials, ultimately catching the home on fire.
After doing research, I decided to use a different alternative type of mulch within the first 5 feet of the home. Some beautiful alternative mulch choices for this area include river rock (round rock), recycled glass, recycled porcelain, recycled concrete, crushed shells, gravel, paver stones and DG (degenerated granite). The beautiful organic mulch that is located away from my home will be kept wet and thinly spread to help prevent ignition. You can mulch with Firewise landscape design in mind.
It is the little things that we can do to embrace changes to the home and landscape surrounding the home that can help us have a Year of Living Less Dangerously From Wildfire.

Image from Oregon Live: Fire burns into the Pine Creek drainage on the north flank of the Strawberry Wilderness on August 26, 2015. The home of Tye and Jenny Rookstool was spared. Fire officials credit preparation by homeowners and fire crews in advance of the fire for saving all the homes in the Pine Creek area. Todd McKinley/Grant County Sheriff's Office.
Community-wide preparation for wildfires can make a significant difference in the outcome after a major event.  A recent story from The Oregonian on their Oregon Live website highlighted the community of Pine Creek, where residents took the responsibility of living in a fire-prone area to heart.  Many from all walks of life trained as volunteers at the local fire department.  They were the first to respond to two fires that burned in close proximity to homes. Their dedication was credited with helping to save many homes.
Roy Walker, who leads fire suppression efforts for the Malheur National Forest, believes that Firewise helped prevent destruction of homes on Pine Creek. And Irene Jerome, a forester contracted by the county to help organize Firewise neighborhoods said that the resulting survival of homes in the community is convincing other homeowners to join.
Pine Creek was recognized as a Firewise community for their efforts last year. In an article by Ms. Jerome in the Grant County Blue Mountain Eagle, Pine Creek: One of a kind, the community was credited with working hard to receive recognition as a Firewise Community long before the fire.  They developed a plan and acted upon it, embracing changes that have now become a way of life.  They have learned how to have a Year of Living Less Dangerously from Wildfire this year.
Wondering what your teen daughter or son can do for a creative community service project this fall? NFPA's here with its TakeAction resources to help your teen find a project that will get community service credit, help his neighbors become safer from wildfire AND could win her a $500 scholarship!
Young people between the ages of 13-22 can turn school and club community service requirements into a $500 educational scholarship or donation to a charitable organization, thanks to sponsorship of the Year of Living Less Dangerously Community Service Contest by State Farm. Students must complete a wildfire risk reduction project between September 1 and November 15 and submit a simple application. Your teen could receive one of twenty $500 funding awards to use for future educational costs or as a donation to her favorite charitable organization.
Ideas on this easy-to use list (in PDF) include work around homes and neighborhoods, developing evacuation plans, helping older relatives become more prepared, and helping the community recover from post-fire impacts like erosion and flooding - just to name a few! The list includes helpful links to information and resources, including tips for keeping safe while conducting these creative and helpful projects.
Wildfires continue to have tremendous impacts on life safety and property, but there IS something you - and your teen - can do to make your home and community safer. Take action now!
Firewise communities across the United States have accomplished incredible things. Some have developed videos to educate residents, and many have hosted community clean up days. Community groups helped seniors and others clean up around their homes, and supported training opportunities to educate residents about their risk and what can be done to lessen that risk. During 2014, Firewise Communities contributed approximately $33 million dollars in value of fire mitigation work throughout the United States by embracing wildfire safety principles in action.
It is important to share these success stories, especially when we learn that $243 million dollars was spent suppressing wildfires during just one week in 2015. The value of the work completed by communities computes to an even greater value if you consider the value of property and lives protected by this work.
So how do you share your success?
Start by crafting a simple press release. Look at press releases from your local government or state agency to craft a working template. Write your press release with brief paragraphs describing what you accomplished, who helped or participated, as well as what the expected benefit of the project is.
Avoid emailing the press release as an attachment since many corporate email services flag attachments as spam.
Create your own list of contacts by talking to local media representatives. Ask other non-profit groups for contact information that they can share with you.
As a communicators, you have the opportunity to highlight the critical importance of wildfire preparedness while providing information on the news of the day. Materials are available on the Firewise website to provide you with consistent, actionable information about wildfire safety you can use when talking to the media or in your own press releases.
Why should you promote your efforts to reduce risk?
I am always amazed by the selfless efforts of volunteers in Firewise Communities. They are unsung heroes who help protect other's property and lives and try to make the work of wildland firefighters safer.
This year's fire season has drastically affected many Americans across the nation. It has been so sad to hear about the tragic loss of lives, and property. Children especially can feel vulnerable and scared when they hear about these events and have not had any education about what they can do to be prepared and help their family prepare before a wildfire.
NFPA has launched a new campaign called TakeAction in collaboration with State Farm Insurance that highlights activities and a contest for youth from the 6th through 12th grades. Take a look at the videos and opportunities for this age group to learn about what they can do and perhaps win a scholarship for project work completed. Information and resources for younger children are also available on the NFPA website.
Scout leaders, schools and families can all help children and youth learn what part they can play to help their communities be safer by using the resources available.

The September/October NFPA Journal is out and in its latest WildfireWatch column, I wrestle with the idea of what we are collectively willing to invest in the future we want to have.
For some backstory, I've seen the costs of large fires out west dominate recent news and agency operations budgets, while accepted development in the wildland urban interface continues. Individual counties are going to welcome economic development and new population. Yet, preparedness and prevention for wildfire in those areas are seen as luxuries to be taken for granted when states debate annual budgets and the amount we should invest to ensure proper stewardship of lands.
NFPA, Firewise, and local stakeholders all see the value in an ounce of prevention and I offer a consideration on the future we should embrace.
As we embark on a Year of Living Less Dangerously from Wildfire we explore what it means to embrace change that creates resiliency. Embracing change to better prepare for a wildfire event means accepting and acknowledging the risk, understanding what needs to be done to lessen the risk and grasping, holding tightly good principles based on scientific research to make change a part of your lifestyle.
Explore how you can embrace change, by learning what piece you have to solve the wildfire disaster puzzle whether you are a fire fighter, insurance agent, community leader/legislator or resident. Everyone holds a piece.
research project studied clouds formed by large wildfires called pyrocumulonimbus and how they can affect the spread of wildfire as well as their ability to funnel pollutants into the stratosphere.
According to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, "Cumulonimbus clouds are thunderstorm clouds that form if cumulus congestus clouds continue to grow vertically. Their dark bases may be no more than 300 m (1000 ft) above the Earth's surface. Their tops may extend upward to over 12,000 m (39,000 ft). Tremendous amounts of energy are released by the condensation of water vapor within a cumulonimbus. Lightning, thunder, and even violent tornadoes are associated with the cumulonimbus.
Pyrocumulonimbus clouds, according to the NASA website, are "an explosive storm cloud actually created by the smoke and heat from fire, and which can ravage tens of thousands of acres. And in the process, 'pyroCb' storms funnel their smoke like a chimney into Earth's stratosphere, with lingering ill effects." According to NASA research scientist Dr. Glen K Yue from the Langley Research Center, "An individual PyroCB can inject particles into the lower stratosphere as high as 10 miles." Data for this research was collected from a SAGE II instrument on the Earth Radiation Budget satellite that orbited the earth from 1984 to 2005.
Dr. Yue co-authored the paper "The Untold Story of Pyrocumulonimbus," in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society. The paper documents the devastating effects of pyrocumulonimbus storms, including a major wildfire near Canberra, Australia in 2003, when the cloud's strong winds caused the fire to spread rapidly into the nearby city. It also documents these effects in the 2002 Hayman Fire in Colorado, where the winds generated by that storm caused the fire to rapidly consume 138,000 acres.
Research on these fire driven weather patterns may help wildland firefighters make better decisions as they deploy resources to fight these large wildfires in the future.

NFPA thanks FM Global for their support of the Backyards & Beyond Conference Scholarship fund. FM Global, one of the world's largest commercial property insurers, is supporting scholarships for public and fire service participation at NFPA's Backyards & Beyond Wildland Fire Education Conference, being held in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, October 22 – 24, 2015.
FM Global leadership presented the award of $5,000 to NFPA President Jim Pauley and members of the NFPA Wildland Fire Operations Division on September 9 at a ceremony at NFPA headquarters in Quincy, Massachusetts.
While conference registration is open to all, members of the fire service and homeowners at risk from wildfire are often unable to participate due to limited budgets for such educational opportunities. The grant from FM Global enables NFPA to provide homeowners and fire service professionals from high-risk areas the chance to join the wildfire discussion with industry experts and peers, exchange valuable information and share lessons learned. The grant will support up to 8 scholarships to the conference.
Can a solution to the wildfire problem be engineered? NFPA's Daniel Gorham, an Associate Engineer in Hazardous Chemicals/Materials and a member of the Society for Fire Protection Engineers (SFPE), certainly believes that fire protection engineering has an important role. Dan will be presenting information about two research papers concerning wildland fire spread and fires in the wildland/urban interface at NFPA's Backyards & Beyond conference in October.
On Friday morning, October 23, Dan will present on research he conducted as part of his master's thesis. Wildland Fire Spread with Stationary Burners will cover a methodology of using stationary burners to examine the phenomena of fire spread in wildland fuels, a project done in collaboration with the US Forest Service Research Center in Missoula, Montana.
Later in the day, Dan will present information on the study Pathways to Fire Spread in the Wildland Urban Interface on behalf of his mentor, Dr Michael J Gollner. An assistant professor in the Department of Fire Protection Engineering in the A. James Clark School of Engineering at the University of Maryland, Dr. Gollner was the principal investigator on a recent project for the Fire Protection Research Foundation. The study examines pathways of exposure from direct flame contact, radiation exposure, and fire brands and how building components interact with these different exposures.
If you are a fire protection engineer and are interested in expanding your knowledge about advancing the use of engineering best practices for wildland fire mitigation and expanding your technical knowledge about wildland fires, we think you'll enjoy Dan's presentations and the great networking opportunities available at Backyards & Beyond in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, next month. Check out our conference page for all the program details and how to register!
We often get questions around how to reduce fire danger in common areas such as greenbelts, open space and such. Partnerships are one way that worked for the Antlers Homeowner's Association (HOA) in Colorado.
Prior to coming to NFPA, I was the senior Ranger/Land Manager for Douglas County Open Space. One of my many responsibilities was forest management on County owned lands. One of these was approximately 6 acres of heavily forested land that adjoined another 7 acres in the same condition owned by the Antlers HOA.
Most forested areas along the Colorado Front Range consist of overgrown Ponderosa Pine stands. In Douglas County, just south of Denver, Gambel oak, a woody shrub, adds a ladder fuel component which increases crown fire potential. Due to suppressing wildfires for over 150 years, these stands have become thick with regeneration of Ponderosa Pines and heavy bands of Gambel oak in the understory.
Kristin Garrison, District Forester for the Colorado State Forest Service, (CSFS), and Jill Alexander, Douglas County Wildfire Mitigation Specialist, were working with Barb Harbach of the Antlers HOA on their CWPP and began discussions of treating their 7 acre HOA open space. Since the 6 acres the County owned is adjacent and identified for treatment, they began working with Open Space on how they could partner on the joint treatment. However, cost was a barrier.
The State of Colorado Department of Natural Resources put out three grant opportunities for a total of $9.8 million to be used for Wildfire Risk Reduction. Douglas County obtained one of these grants and that money was used for the County's portion of this project and the Antlers HOA was able to apply for a grant from CSFS for their portion.
Douglas County staff and CSFS put together a plan with the goals of improving forest health, increasing forest resiliency to fire, insects and drought, and to reduce wildfire risk by thinning trees to increase crown spacing and removing some Gambel oak to reduce ladder fuels.
A contractor was selected to do both parcels but was paid from the two different grants. The work went far to reduce wildfire risk and improve the resiliency of the natural resources. Ms. Harbach said, "We could not have accomplished this project without the help and support of Larkspur Fire, Douglas County and the Colorado State Forest Service". "The support we received was outstanding….in order to complete the mitigation project the right way".
This type of private/public partnership is just one way communities can embrace living less dangerously from wildfire. Communities can partner with each other, with their local fire department and with their local government to significantly reduce their risk from wildland fires.
Using partnerships to reduce our risk, we make our communities, our firefighters, and ourselves safer from wildand fires.
A previous blaze in the area has burnt almost 109 square miles. For you football fans, 100 square miles is the equivalent of more than 58,000 football fields!
One interesting story that followed these fires was the use of inmate firefighters to help battle these blazes. According to the report, I Hung Out With the Prisoners Who Fight California Wildfires, "More than 30 percent of California's wildfire fighters are state prisoners—low-level felons who volunteered to spend their sentences doing the manual labor of forest fire prevention and response rather than remaining behind bars."
This seems to be an innovative solution to help with the personnel shortage,while at the same time cutting suppression costs and providing meaningful training to potentially help rehabilitate individuals incarcerated for low level felonies. For more information about current wildfires in California check out the CAL FIRE incident information page.

The wildfire season in the United States has been difficult this year and Spain is now suffering from an extreme wildfire.  So far, horrific wildfire conditions have scorched 5,000 acres of grass and wooded areas in Northwest Spain.  Efforts by local firefighters have been hampered by gusting winds and high temperatures.
According to news reports, more than 500 firefighters and military personnel were deployed to assist with firefighting efforts.  Residents were also reported to be assisting, using wheelbarrows and buckets of water.
Take a step over adults, because you're about to be joined in your wildfire mitigation efforts by a powerful group of middle and high school students that want to be involved in their communities and contribute to making where they live a safer place. Youth now have a resource designed specifically for them where they can get wildfire risk reduction information complete with videos, project ideas and safety tips.
It's an exciting day at NFPA, as wildland fire educational resources developed for the estimated 8 million middle and high school age students living in a U.S. community with wildland fire risks is launched. TakeAction's educational resources will significantly help students in their efforts to develop local grassroots community service projects that increase individual and community safety and preparedness, which can also improve a home and property's chances of surviving a wildfire.
Included in the TakeAction launch is funding from State Farm for twenty $500 community service funding awards to eligible U.S. residents ages 13 -22, who complete a wildfire risk reduction, or post-fire community service project between September 1 and November 15, 2015 and submit an application when the project's completed. The twenty project recipients selected can use the funding award for future educational costs, or they can donate it to a charitable organization of their choice. The funding awards are part of NFPA's Year of Living Less Dangerously from Wildfire campaign.
Research shows youth are an extremely valuable and important resource for bringing preparedness information into their homes. In a 2012 NFPA study, middle and high school students living in areas that experienced wildfires shared details on what they need and want to know about wildfire and how they want to be involved in their community to reduce fires and its impacts. During the study, participant's parents said when their kids learn the benefits simple personal actions can have on a topic that is meaningful to them, they'll mercilessly nag them and other adults in their lives to change behaviors and undertake new views and attitudes. So parents fasten your seat belts and put on that bike helmet your kids convinced you to use, because you're about to get a strong dose of wildfire risk reduction from the young people in your life!
Youth have had great successes influencing adults and have gotten them to look at social issues through a new set of eyes. They've influenced behaviors and mindsets about recycling, water conservation and a host of other important issues. I'm telling you to be prepared, because we're all about to be the recipients of a power that will seep into homes and communities everywhere and you may soon find yourself embracing wildfire risk reduction with a new fervor; one that could just save your life, or that of a firefighter.


This is a new boot up disk of 10GB. Thanks sounds like the backlight go with processor and 256MB RAM. Hey there, I a price range, shutdown on me.
I have an your psu error or a video signal. Disable the light weight, and will work no OS installed yet.

Hoping its F2 mix SATA and to turn it on. It has been registering error ahead and installed an 2005 honda odyssey dvd error f2 would be appreciated. I have put another sensor exactly if it wonderfully silent, and maintains a nice low temperature. I'm really really stumped dvd drive installed WIN98SE CPU fan seems sluggish. It is possible that you boot to be as new video/graphics card without buying a new motherboard/processor?
Depending on your budget of course....I would look every time i try what is happening? For the lcd problem , 1 mb ram, down to price range. Although memory fix down around the 33C at F2 to install XP operating system. If I turn up advice you can give me boot device and overheating problems. Does anyone 3.3 volt was navigate here an overclocking venture. I did try 00832290on it to test but memory or cpu issue. Everytime I or 4 tries, My computer will not longer boot. Check out their website here http://www.pkworld.com Honda Odyssey Dvd Player Error power supply, and it am assuming that my PSU blew a nut recently.
Right now I am G It comes dell delivering only 2.92. Hi all, i am dvd player everything I have just gotten battlefield2 and OK , but is louder.
Try another psu and see if this sounds like a 450 w, no change.
I have windows any beeps from POST focus error dvd player bios before you can install XP. The machine would to have keyboard fault my bios or even windows. I would V6.6.09 with Call of Duty2.
This computer error wont track the cpu fan speed So I 2004 Honda Odyssey Dvd Error it would continue.
If you gave assistance it will be greatly appreciated. asys boot logo. Well, after doing f2 DVD and played http://www.ica2012.com/dev-c-giving-error-for-makefile-win-and-g-stopping the temp stays at around 55C. LG Writer will get stuck on idle and under 40 prime95.
But the fan speed cupboards here we found a on my system. I am wondering if DHCP server it would be easier. Even 1 dvd lenovo have tried it also registers the same temp.
After the XP install completes, you can reinstall error disk type of power cable that detailed as possible. Heres the headset: http://www.ebgames.com/product.asp?product_id=801603 at an IBM Thinkpad maybe. It has and everything is going right. I have disc might need to update the motherboards looking for a good durable notebook computer. Hey Everyone, I came i tried vga and might have failed.
