You have taken care of your home; now let it take care of you. Life can be unpredictable and the equity in your home could be the perfect solution to pay for the unexpected.
A home equity loan or line of credit can be used for auto expenses, home improvements, paying off or consolidating debt or even funding an education.
A Home Equity Loan is used for a specific, immediate expense. You borrow a determined amount of money and have a fixed payment over a set term.
A Home Equity Line of Credit is an ongoing source of credit to be used when and where you need it. You only pay interest on the amount you've advanced. The payment amount will vary depending on the outstanding balance and the Home Equity Line of Credit Plan.

Japan's Abe sends offering to controversial shrine for war dead

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe sent a ritual offering to the controversial Yasukuni Shrine for war dead on Sunday but held off from visiting what Japan's neighbours view as a symbol of the country's former militarism.
Abe's decision not to visit the shrine, which also honours 14 Japanese leaders convicted by an Allied tribunal as war criminals, was seen partly out of consideration of improving relations with China, with President Xi Jinping expected to visit Japan when it hosts a G20 summit in June.
China's relations with Japan have long been soured by what Beijing sees as Tokyo's failure to atone for its occupation of parts of China before and during World War Two, although ties have thawed recently.
In late 2013, Abe sparked widespread international outrage, including from key ally the United States as well as China and South Korea, when he visited the shrine.
Since then, the premier has sent offerings on the occasion of Yasukuni's spring and autumn festivals and the anniversary of Japan's World War Two surrender instead of going himself.
Japan occupied Korea from 1910-1945.

Acting Attorney General Whitaker battles angry lawmakers at hearing
Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker repeatedly clashed with Democrats in a combative hearing Friday in which he told lawmakers he has not interfered with the special counsel investigation that he oversees. Whitaker testified that he has not discussed the probe with President Donald Trump nor denied funding for it, as Democrats pressed him on everything from his conversations with the President and other White House officials to his decision not to recuse himself from special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation. Facing off with Democrats in his first and likely only congressional testimony while leading the Justice Department, Whitaker was often defiant in responding to their questions, at one point cutting off Chairman Jerry Nadler to note the chairman's allotted time was up, drawing the scoffs of astonished members of Congress. Whitaker and Nadler, a New York Democrat, sparred over whether Whitaker could answer questions about his private conversations with senior White House officials and the President, but the acting attorney general made an exception to say he did not discuss the Mueller probe with them. "We have followed the special counsel's regulations to a T," Whitaker said. "There has been no decision that has required me to take any action, and I have not interfered with the special counsel's investigation in any way."

'We are all victims of the gross neglect of the DOH and Duterte administration'
August 4, 2020 /in Images /by Kodao Productions
"We are saddened and angered by what happened to our dear colleague and other health workers who died fighting COVID-19. We are all victims of the gross neglect of the DOH and Duterte administration. This administration does not value health workers because even in (Duterte's) 5th State of the Nation Address, he still did not lay down comprehensive, systematic and scientific measures on how to defeat the virus." — Cristy Donguines, President, Jose Reyes Memorial Medical Center Employees Union-Alliance of Health Workers

Health workers decry loss of fellow front liner
August 4, 2020 /in News /by Kodao Productions
By Joseph Cuevas
Members of the Jose Reyes Memorial Medical Center (JRMMC) Employees Union-Alliance of Health Workers held a protest rally last August 3 to denounce the death of their fellow health worker who died of Covid-19 they said was due to gross negligence of the hospital management, the Department of Health (DOH) and the Rodrigo Duterte government.
Judyn Bonn Suerte, a JRRMC employee and active union member succumbed last July 31 to Covid 19. He was among the 20 health workers of the hospital infected last month.
In a statement, Cristy Donguines, President of JRMMC Employees Union said that Suerte's life would have been saved if it had been immediately treated by JRMMC and not brought to Dr. Jose N. Rodriguez Memorial Hospital where he died.
"It is painful to think but it is clear to us that this is a major negligence of the hospital management and the DOH itself due to their anti-health workers protocols," Donguines said.
She added that the management blindly implemented the DOH's defective protocol that led to the death of a health worker of the said hospital.
DOH has instructed all medical center chiefs and hospital directors that all employees admitted to their respective hospital with severe COVID-19 cases should be transferred to any designated exclusive COVID-19 referral hospitals.
The union revealed that the JRMMC has no free re-swabbing test for its health workers after undergoing quarantine protocols.
"It should be one of the protocols to be implemented by the hospital to ensure that they are really fit to work. Worst, in order to make sure that they are really fit to work, they need to pay for re-swabbing test outside of the hospital that costs P5,500.00 for drive-thru and P4,300 for walk-in tests," it said.

'Generals infesting health response
Meanwhile, more doctors and other health care workers agreed with 40 medical associations who earlier asked the Duterte government to again implement an enhanced community quarantine period in Metro Manila.
A statement signed by almost 200 doctors and health care professionals and issued on Second Opinion Facebook page reiterated that the quarantine was a public health measure aimed at saving lives by stopping the spread of disease.
It also rejected the government's "military type quarantine" it said is oppressive and devoid of scientific sense and health purpose.
The signatories prescribed the immediate removal of DOH Secretary Francisco Duque and all generals and czars "infesting" the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) and replace them with team players from health and related fields.
In addition, the petitioners asked:
* active and aggressive recruitment of health workers;
* immediate provision of substantial funding and financial support for both national and local government interventions;
* continuity of care from the primary to the tertiary levels, and between public and private health facilities;
* enhancing capacities in testing, tracing, isolation, and treatment at the institutional and community level, and utilizing appropriate technologies in the promotion of preventive; and
* public health measures and immediate improvement of COVID-19 data processing and management.
President Duterte has placed Metro Manila and provinces of Bulacan, Rizal, Laguna and under Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine starting today. tomorrow, August 4 as recommendation of IATF to President Duterte.
According to DOH, as of August 3, Covid-19 cases has risen to 103,185, including 5,032 new cases while there had been 4,823, infected health workers and 38 deaths. #

NEW YORK, March 18, Mar 18, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE via COMTEX) -- NEW YORK, March 18, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fortress Biotech, Inc. FBIO, +10.96% ("Fortress"), an innovative biopharmaceutical company focused on identifying, in-licensing and developing high-potential marketed and development-stage drugs and drug candidates, today announced financial results and recent corporate highlights for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2018.
In the fourth quarter of 2018, we launched Exelderm(R), a cream and solution for fungal infections.
Also in 2018, we signed a co-promotion agreement with Crown Laboratories to promote Triderm(R), a topical corticosteroid indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses; Ala-quin(R), a cream for mixed infections; and Ala-scalp(R), a hydrocortisone lotion for corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses.
The multicenter Phase 2 study of Triplex for cytomegalovirus ("CMV") control in allogeneic stem cell transplant recipients has concluded, and its primary endpoint was met. We anticipate the full dataset will be presented at the 45 [th] Annual Meeting of the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation ("EBMT") being held in Frankfurt, Germany March 24-27, 2019.
In September 2018, we announced interim safety and efficacy data from our Phase 1/2 clinical trial of CK-101, a third-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor ("TKI") being evaluated in advanced non-small cell lung cancer ("NSCLC"). The data were disclosed in an oral presentation at the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer ("IASLC") 19th World Conference on Lung Cancer in Toronto. CK-101 was well tolerated across multiple dose groups. Durable anti-tumor activity was observed, particularly in treatment-naive EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC patients.
In May 2018, we announced the publication of preclinical data in JCI Insight demonstrating that glioblastoma�?�targeted CD4+ CAR T cells mediate superior antitumor activity over CD8+ CAR T cells. The data, published by research partner City of Hope, will be applied in the ongoing Phase 1 trial of IL13Rα2�?�specific CAR T MB�?�101 in glioblastoma.
MB-101 (IL13Rα2�?�specific CAR T) is currently in development at our partner, Mustang Bio, Inc.

It was 1992. Spain had organised, at great expense, a splendid international exhibition in Seville to celebrate the 500th anniversary of its discovery of the Americas. All over the city, a multitude of demonstrations, exhibitions, and performances took place.
We requested, in particular, to visit an exhibition that brought together works of art, paintings, furniture, sculptures, and objects from all over the world, from every continent, dating back to the essential year of 1492.
It was held on an island in the middle of the Guadalquivir river that watered Seville. It was a long, flat, and deserted island, which up until then was inhabited only by weeds and a few snakes.
Seville exposición Internationale 1992
Makeshift bridges had been built on the island, as well as a large, canvased wooden building to house these works of art. We had the privilege of a private visit, guided by a charming young Spaniard, as cultured as she was kind.
From the start, Marina and I were amazed at the quality, diversity, ingenuity, and beauty of the objects exhibited, which, allow me to remind you, came from every continent, with only one common trait – the year of their creation, 1492. The exhibition also portrayed the important events and significant characters of this fatal year.
We were in the grand gallery when my attention was brought to a recognizable portrait of the monk Savonarola. Now, he was a character I hated for his fanaticism, and especially for having organised the destruction of so many works of art, and so many books he had stacked high upon pyres he then set on fire. Thus, among the flames, so many incomparable masterpieces and collections of human knowledge were lost forever.
As we walked by his portrait, I couldn't help but mention to our charming guide, "I hate this person." "So do we," she responded. "And why is that?" I asked her, surprised she shared my opinion. "Because we see him every night," she answered. I stopped. "Let's sit down, and tell me all about it now," I said to her. We found three chairs, sat down beneath the portrait, and she began to explain.
"I haven't seen him myself, but all the night guards complain that after midnight, they see the subject of this portrait walking around the gallery. They are so frightened that they don't want to work here anymore and have all asked to be transferred," she recounted. I asked her to explain further. What was it that these guards had seen?
"They don't exactly see his face, but they see a monk wearing precisely the same clothing as the man in the portrait, with the same hood draped over his head, walking the length and breadth of the gallery, the very sight of which fills them with terror."
Savonarola brûle à Florence, peinture de l'époque
I did not doubt for a moment the veracity in the night guards' statements. I was indeed convinced that they had seen the ghost of a monk walking around the gallery, but I very much doubted it was the ghost of Savonarola. He had no connection to Seville. Why would he manifest in this town? Simply because his portrait was on display, it was unthinkable. Moreover, according to the guide, the night guards did not recognize his face, but merely his outfit. This story intrigued me. The building of canvas and wood had only just been built, it could not possibly contain ghosts. A ghost from elsewhere? Again, I seriously doubted it.
Then, it came to me. I asked the young guide if perhaps there had been, sometime in the past, a building here that had since been destroyed. "Yes, of course, there was a monastery. That is why the island is called "The Island of Cartuja", in other words, of the Chartreuse," she answered.
And where there's a monastery, there is bound to be a monk. The monastery had been destroyed, but the monks, or at least one monk, who had lived there during the Renaissance had not left, and believing their home still existed, continued to walk around it at night. As a matter of fact, this was not a unique case. Sometimes, a building disappears but its tenants remain.

THE TALISMAN OF POPE BORGIA
I have always had a weak spot for Pope Alexandre VI Borgia. History has smeared his name with horrid deeds; but I suspect that such a campaign was led in part by protestant propaganda. I had shared this theory with my youngest daughter Olga who was given zero for writing it in her homework….
THE MURDEROUS PAINTER
29 March 2019 - 1 min
Fifteen years ago, I visited the National Gallery of Ireland in Dublin. I happened upon the section devoted to 19th century painting where there was a rather small painting, remarkably well painted, of a man who looked young and yet whose diabolical energy – horridness, cruelty, meanness – struck me so, that it overwhelmed me….

Thank you for reading my many musings on data quality and its related disciplines, and for tolerating my various references, from Adventures in Data Profiling to Social Karma, Shakespeare to Dr. Seuss, The Pirates of Penzance to The Rolling Stones, from The Three Musketeers to The Three Tweets, Dante Alighieri to Dumb and Dumber, Jack Bauer to Captain Jack Sparrow, Finding Data Quality to Discovering What Data Quality Technology Wants, and from Schrödinger's Cat to the Buttered Cat.
Thank you for reading Obsessive-Compulsive Data Quality for the last two years. Your readership is deeply appreciated.
If one of your New Year's Resolutions is to start a blog, please be forewarned that the blogosphere has a real zombie problem.
No, not that kind of zombie.
If you're considering starting a personal blog (especially one about "real zombies"), then please stop reading—and start blogging.
However, if you're considering starting a professional blog, then please continue reading. By a "professional blog" I do not mean a blog that makes money. I simply mean a blog that's part of the social media strategy for your organization or a blog that helps advance your professional career—which, yes, may also directly or (far more likely, if at all) indirectly make you money.
If you are seriously considering starting a professional blog, before you do anything else, complete the 20-10-5 plan.
If you are unable to complete this simple plan, then seriously reconsider starting a professional blog.
Please Note: I will add the caveat that if writing is not your thing, and you're planning on podcasting or video blogging instead, I still adamantly believe you must complete the 20-10-5 plan. In essence, the plan is simply a challenge to see if you can create five pieces of ready-to-publish content—BEFORE you launch your professional blog, since IMHO—if you can't, then don't.
Yes, you'll be tempted to start posting more than once a week. Yes, you'll be eager to share your brilliance with the blogosphere.
However, just like many new things, blogging is really fun—when it's new.
I am not trying to harsh your mellow. I am simply saying that you need to pace yourself—especially at the beginning.
I am not a "social media expert." In fact, until late 2008, I wasn't even interested enough to ask people what they meant when I heard them talking about "social media." I started blogging, tweeting, and using other social media in early 2009.
Do I practice what I preach? Check my archives.
My blog was started in March 2009. I published 5-8 posts per month (1-2 posts per week) for each of the first five months, and then I gradually increased my posting frequency. Now, almost two years later, I have published 236 posts on this blog, which is an overall average of 10 posts per month (2-3 posts per week), without ever posting fewer than 5 times in one month.
Welcome to the Obsessive-Compulsive Data Quality (OCDQ) Blog Bicentennial Celebration!
Well, okay, technically a bicentennial is the 200th anniversary of something, and I haven't been blogging for two hundred years.
On March 13, 2009, I officially launched this blog. Earlier this year, I published my 100th blog post. Thanks to my prolific pace, facilitated by a copious amount of free time due to a rather slow consulting year, this is officially the 200th OCDQ Blog post!
So I decided to rummage through my statistics and archives, and assemble a retrospective of how this all came to pass. Enjoy!
The following table breaks down the OCDQ Blog statistics by month (clicking on the month link will take you to its blog archive), with subtotals by year, and overall totals for number of blog posts, unique visitors, and page views. The most popular blog post for each month was determined using a pseudo-scientific quasi-statistical combination of page views, comments, and re-tweets.
APR 2010 15 4,727 8,774 Data, data everywhere, but where is data quality?
JUL 2010 13 3,410 8,600 Is your data complete and accurate, but useless to your business?
* Since this is the third one published in September 2010, it is officially the 200th OCDQ Blog post!
All I Really Need To Know About Data Quality I Learned In Kindergarten — Inspired by Robert Fulghum's classic book, this blog post explains how show and tell, the five second rule and other kindergarten lessons are essential to data quality success.
The Three Musketeers of Data Quality — Although people, process, and technology are all necessary for data quality success, people are the most important of all. So, who exactly are some of the most important people on your data quality project?
Fantasy League Data Quality — This blog post attempted to explain best practices in action for master data management, data warehousing, business intelligence, and data quality using . . . fantasy league baseball and football.
Collablogaunity — Mashing together the words collaboration, blog, and community, I created the term collablogaunity (which is pronounced "Call a Blog a Unity") to explain some recommended blogging best practices.
Do you enjoy writing? — A literally handwritten blog post about the art of painting with letters and words—aka writing.
MacGyver: Data Governance and Duct Tape — This allegedly Emmy Award nominated blog post explains data stewardship, data quality, data cleansing, defect prevention, and data governance—all with help from both MacGyver and Jill Dyché.
The Importance of Envelopes — No, this was not a blog post about postal address data quality. Instead, I used envelopes as a metaphor for effective communication, explaining that the way we deliver our message is as important as our message.
Dilbert, Data Quality, Rabbits, and #FollowFriday — This blog post revealed a truth that all data quality experts know well: All data quality issues are caused by rabbits—either a cartoon rabbit named Roger, or an invisible rabbit named Harvey.
Finding Data Quality — With lots of help from the movie Finding Nemo, this blog post explains that although it is often discussed only in relation to other enterprise information initiatives, eventually you'll be finding data quality everywhere.
So far, OCDQ Blog has received over 900 comments, which is an average of 50 comments per month, and 5 comments per post.
Although a fair percentage of the total number of comments are my responses, Commendable Comments is my ongoing series (next entry coming later this month) that celebrates the truly commendable comments that I regularly receive from my readers.
Thank you very much to everyone who reads OCDQ Blog. Whether you comment or not, your readership is deeply appreciated.

Stop racist Ryan's tax plan: Workers to suffer while bosses benefit

"The only things one can be sure of regarding whatever it is that the Republican congressional majorities come up with for a tax plan is that it will shove more of the nation's wealth upwards, that the math will be mostly magical thinking, and that there will be various strategies employed to keep the country from noticing these first two characteristics." (Esquire, Nov. 1, 2017)
Announcing the proposed tax plan, House Speaker Paul Ryan tried to appeal to working families, claiming the average family would have over a $1,000 savings yearly. His argument was nonsense.
"The tax cut definitely dissipates over time," David Kamin, a tax and budget specialist at the New York University law school, told PolitiFact. (Nov. 3, 2017) Based on Kamin's calculations, the initial tax cut for a family with an income of $59,000 will turn into a $500 tax increase by 2024 compared to the current tax law.
Running the math on these claims reveals exactly what the top priority is in the House Republican tax bill: corporate tax cuts, not tax cuts for working families.
As the bill is written, even the poster family that Paul Ryan handpicked to support the bill would lose out by year 10. ( Vox, Nov. 3, 2017)
Some of the deductions eliminated or pared back in the bill include the mortgage interest deduction; the state and local tax deduction; the medical expense deduction; the casualty loss deduction; and the student loan interest deduction. ( Politifact, Nov. 3)
The new bill will also change taxation on 401K retirement plans, which many workers are forced to participate in. "In essence, it would raise taxes on middle-class retirement savers to fund tax cuts for the wealthy," Seth Harris, the former acting secretary and deputy secretary of Labor in the Obama administration told CNBC on Oct. 25.
Tax breaks for the rich
Who will benefit? The new law would cut the corporate tax rate from 35 to 20 percent; allow corporations to expense their capital investments immediately; set a new rate of 25 percent for so-called pass-through businesses, such as partnerships and sole proprietorships; and allow multinational corporations to repatriate, at a low tax rate, trillions of dollars they are holding abroad.
The primary beneficiaries will be members of the corporate class — the people who occupy senior positions in corporations and own most of the corporate wealth in the country. (New Yorker, Oct. 20)
Who does Paul Ryan represent?
A longtime Wisconsin organizer for the people's movement told Workers World that Ryan used Jim Crow racist economic populism to get elected. There used to be thousands of union workers at auto plants in Wisconsin in towns like Janesville, Beloit, Kenosha and Racine (Ryan's area). Ryan used chauvinist appeals, such as "buy America," and attacking Mexico, China, etc.
Also, like all racist politicians in Wisconsin, Ryan has consistently used euphemisms and metaphors like "urban" or "crime ridden" when referring to Milwaukee, a majority Black and Brown city, to create division with workers from other communities destroyed by capitalism.
The Bradley Foundation, the American Legislative Exchange Council, the Koch brothers and especially the bankers, groomed Ryan and his Wisconsin cronies. Ryan is also anti-immigrant, a real enemy of the people. Like Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who led the attack on Wisconsin public workers' unions, Ryan too was groomed by some of the most virulent capitalist vultures such as the Bradley Foundation.
Ryan is a big fan of the late, reactionary author Ayn Rand, too. Like Walker, he's a tool of the capitalist-imperialists, and very dangerous, especially when it comes to federal programs like Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, and women's and LGBTQ rights, and union rights. He also supports U.S. imperialist foreign policy and wars.
Building a resistance movement
Anti-racist youth, workers, environmental justice advocates and anti-war, LGBTQ activists are coming together across the country to resist the austerity measures these tax changes will bring. To use a process known as reconciliation, which prevents a filibuster in the Senate, the Republicans recently agreed to a budget that included a tax cut that would add $1.5 trillion to the deficit. "In other words they replaced tax reform with tax cuts." (New Yorker, Sept. 28)
We know who they want to pay for this deficit. Not the Pentagon, whose budget keeps expanding. Congress will try to impose the cuts on poor women and children, food programs, the elderly and the disabled, the most vulnerable in society.
But a people's movement is brewing, as the bottom rises to the top. This movement will not stand by as they destroy the environment and deny the most basic rights to food, health care, education, clean water and healthy air. The people will build a movement of the workers and oppressed to expose the failure of capitalism to meet human needs.
The Silent Slaughter


Till Death Do Us Part: An extremely interesting story in Wired about the attempted separation of those Iranian twins a few months ago. This piece lays some of the blame on a technological failure. Doctors depended on a 3D imaging system that didn't reveal the presence of a massive vein until doctors found it, 30 hours into the surgery.
"Finally, with the new vein in place, Ohata released the clamps and let blood pump through the vessel. For an hour, everything worked perfectly. Then, just as they were about to begin carefully cutting the two brains apart, the flow decreased and a clot formed in the grafted vein. Pressure in the brain didn't spike, which meant that blood wasn't backing up — it was taking an alternate path.
The 3-D images showed no other vessels that could carry that much blood. Ohata surveyed the exposed area, and that's when he saw it: the edge of a massive vein near the base of the women's skulls. The team glanced at the image guidance monitor — this was what the x-ray vision was supposed to show them. But according to the model, the vein didn't exist.

Securing dollars
By Fleur Doidge on Oct 31, 2005 2:28PM
This article appeared in the Issue 183, 17 October 2005 issue of CRN magazine.
Page 3 of 4 | Single page
Managed services is also booming -- dragging managed security along for the ride. According to a mid-year IDC study, managed services in the Asia-Pacific through 2004 earned US$13.3 billion in the enterprise market and US$63 million in the telecom market, excluding Japan. Value-added managed services are expected to grow some 15 percent in 2005. Managed security services are 2.6 percent of that total, IDC says.
Dave Stevens, managing director at SecureTelecom and Brennan IT, says the managed services model is succeeding. His entire business was built around the promise of recurring revenue, he adds. This year, the sixth year of its operation, saw SecureTelecom grow 44 percent by turnover, and in 2004, the company increased revenue 86 percent. That is despite having "quite a battle" to get prices down.
"The last three years it has just taken off," he says. "I don't think we've got any unsecured creditors left, [except] maybe larger clients that have their own kit or their own firewalls...I think the first [investment] was a couple of $100,000 and in the first year or eight months, we probably put in another $500,000 or $600,000," he says.
Latest capital budgets top $2 million, just to keep pace with various "bits and pieces", Stevens says. Resellers can use a vendor's tool and add Cisco or Juniper or Netscreen top line product. That is the right way, he says. The wrong way is to run the service on a Linux box and "some managed application you think will do the job", he says. "That doesn't work. You can do it with a Linux box, but it's just the management time just to get a firmware upgrade rolled out to 200 clients," Stevens advises.
Stevens also says resellers need to choose gear with care. He says the first firewalls they bought "just broke". "They weren't designed to run the firewall base we were running," he says. So SecureTelecom bought the biggest Netscreen boxes out instead. "The sales went up. The salespeople started to believe in it. Our productivity improved," Stevens says.
Stevens says the company is migrating lots of services from Windows to Linux. "We achieve great increases in stability with maintenance and those sorts of things," he says. "[But] we tend to want a commercial product. We have written a few applications ourselves, but the development time on them is just not worthwhile."
Managed services -- such as for internet protection, IDS or packet filtering, not so much anti-virus or anti-spam -- may offer higher than normal margins because of the added value. But it all balances out because one cannot buy an expensive box to do something properly and then pass that cost on direct to the customer.
"It's not for everyone either. I imagine the ASX doesn't outsource the true core of its security. Defence doesn't outsource it. The banks don't outsource it," Stevens says.

In this notebook is scrawled the history of every official Major League Baseball game I've ever attended. Each Flashback Friday in 2008 will be devoted to culling its numbers and telling its tales, starting with the night in 1981 I began filling in its blanks.
We all know you've been to more than 120 games in the last 27 years so either your writing is very tiny or your summarizations are kept to a brief line or two in order for all of your experiences to fit into that 60 sheet (120 page) notebook of yours.
Yeah. How many books is the log, really?
And, is there a second log of games not attended?
That's all I need to write down. Everything else is up here (pointing at my head) or here (pointing at retrosheet and other such helpful sites).
So, if there are just 20 lines per sheet and 120 sheets, that means you have room to log 2,400 ball games. Divide that by 27 years and (considering the log spans three strike-shortened seasons) it means attending an average of maybe 91 games per year to fill it up.
81 home games plus ten road contests each season…. that doesn't sound too unreasonable.
any steno, and thus any steno pad, knows there's no points off for typos.


NHTSA crash statistics related to Ohio: noteworthy and concerning | Bashein & Bashein Company, L.P.A.
On behalf of Bashein & Bashein Company, L.P.A. posted in Car Accidents on Thursday, August 23, 2012.
Ohio, like most other states nationally, is evidencing a downward trend in fatal car accidents and drunk driving crashes over the long term.
It's the short term that safety regulators point to as being troublesome.
Traffic-related deaths in the state dropped by 14 percent from 2006 to 2010. Fatalities in 2010, however, actually showed a spike upward from the preceding year.
According to statistics released recently by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, close to 1,100 people died in Ohio in 2010 in motor vehicle crashes. What state traffic officials find particularly worrisome in that number is that close to one third of those deaths -- 341 fatalities -- were directly attributed to a crash with a drunk driver.
And even more troubling, say state officials, is that more than 70 percent of all drunk driving crashes that occur in Ohio involve a really drunk driver -- a motorist with a blood-alcohol level of 0.15 or more.
Doug Scoles is the executive director of MADD in Ohio. Pointing to that statistic, he says that, "We still have an epidemic out there."
Federal authorities have placed a strong spotlight on impaired driving nationally, coupled with funds available to the states to combat drunk driving activity.
Ohio is receiving its share of those funds and proactively using them in traffic-related law enforcement efforts.
The state recently allocated nearly $2 million of federal grant money it has received, for example, toward the operation of 10 county-wide OVI (Operating a Vehicle while Impaired) task forces. Those police patrols operate sobriety checkpoints and spend extra hours working in locales with demonstrated high levels of DUI activity.
Our firm is a long-tenured and deeply experienced advocate for clients needing assistance in accident-related matters such as those described in this post. To learn more about our practice, please visit our Cleveland, Ohio, car accident practice area.

Mary King is the recipient of a 2018–2019 and 2019 - 2020 grant from the Southern New England Apprentice Program as a Master Celtic Harpist. As Mary has said,"I love every moment I play; the harp is a wonder – sweet, soulful yet also bursting in excitement with great rhythms and gorgeous melodies. I feel blessed to play at so many memorable times in peoples lives." Mary King's parents came from Ireland which gave her a real love of Celtic music. That love of music has been her pathway to other genres of music.
Ed Sweeney draws upon a potpourri of musical styles, instruments (6 & 12 String guitar, 5 string banjo & fretless banjo) and songs. Ed uses his musical expertise, breadth of knowledge, and wonderful sense of humor to help listeners come to understand the motivations, stories, and culture that have made us what we are today. Ed has earned accolades throughout the United States, Canada, parts of Europe and Taiwan. Reviewers call him "a master of unpretentiousness" and "delightfully fresh."
Since 2018 Mary King and Ed Sweeney have been performing songs from the times of Stephen Foster with the humor of Mark Twain in libraries, community centers and other venues throughout New England.
In 2021 Cathy Clasper-Torch started performing with Mary King and Ed Sweeney. Cathy Clasper-Torch (violin/fiddle, piano, erhu, cello) has been teaching, recording and performing in RI and New England for over 25 years. Cathy combines her love of all genres of music in her playing and improvising.

"Ed, Mary, and Cathy play music beautifully. That is why their performance at All Saints Church in Pontiac has become an annual event. Invite them to play for you. You'll be glad you did. " - Fred Liddle, Senior Warden
— All Saints Chuch
"It was a pleasure having you both here and the program was just wonderful. We had quite a wide range of ages, and they all seemed to enjoy it as much as I did. The music you performed was just the right scale for a library concert, and I loved that you had people sing along, which, as you explained, was how the songs were meant to be experienced. " - Jessica Wilson
— South Kingstown Public Library/Peace Dale
"An Evening of Foster and Twain is wonderful show. Mary King and Ed Sweeney bring genuine enjoyment and deep affection to the words and music of 19th century masters Stephen Foster and Mark Twain. Through Mary and Ed, they come alive and reveal the passions, riddles, and confidences of a time and place that's both familiar and unlike anything we know today." - Wil Gregersen
— Community Services Librarian Warwick Public Library
The Immigrant Song by Mary King
Friends help each other find their artistic/musician voices.
On several occasions over the past few months Mary played for me a few of the songs she has written over the past 40+ years. The Immigrant Song is Mary King's heartfelt thoughts on the images we have witnessed over and over on the news during the past few years.
I hope this video introduces more people to Mary's great heart and point of view. Mary King, our friend Cathy Clasper-Torch and I recorded this song at True Music Studios in Smithfield, RI.

Wildly Popular Burger Chain Opens Two New Locations In New Jersey
Buehler Published: December 1, 2022

There's never a lack of good food, and new restaurants opening in and around New Jersey.
One of my favorite Facebook groups to follow is called "What's Going There In Ocean and Monmouth Counties".
It's basically a group where people try to figure out what's going to be opening where in our area.
Photo by Brett Jordan on Unsplash
I've found out about some pretty cool openings from that page; the Cucina Fresca Italian American Specialty Market in Berkeley Township, Livoti's opening where Corrado's was going to go, and a bunch more.
Although that group is really good about looking into and identifying possible new stores, restaurants, and grocers coming to our area sometimes something slips through the cracks.
A very popular chain in New Jersey opened two new locations this week, and its worth talking about.
It's a chain that is known for mouthwatering hamburgers, crinkle-cut fries, gourmet hot dogs, and milkshakes.
Photo by Thomas Habr on Unsplash
This restaurant chain now has 15 stores in operation in New Jersey, and I'm ashamed to admit that I've never been to one.
My wife absolutely loves this place, so we may have to make the drive to get dinner some nights while out.
What Popular Chain Opened Two New Locations In New Jersey?
This place actually started as a Hot Dog stand in New York, I didn't know this but think it's fascinating since now they're known mainly for burgers and shakes.
Any guesses?

If you thought Shake Shack, then you'd be correct!
Shake Shack, according to NJ.com opened two new locations.
The first in Edison at Menlo Park Mall, and the second in Jersey City in the Newport Centre's Dining Pavillion.
What's more, is that soon if you're in a rush you'll be able to get Shake Shack via the drive-thru when the first drive-thru Shake Shack opens in Hasbrouk Heights.

23 Issue TT: Certificate with Incorrect OrganizationName (Nov. 2020)
24 Issue UU: Certificate for unregistered domain (Oct. 2020)
Issue B: Delegation of validation to StartCom following Mozilla's distrust of StartCom (March 2017)
In March 2017, following the distrust of WoSign/StartCom, Camerfirma entered into a business relationship with StartCom. As part of that relationship, StartCom's CEO Iñigo underwent training as an RA for Camerfirma. As described, Iñigo performed organizational and domain validation for customers of StartCom, and then instructed Camerfirma to issue the certificates. Camerfirma was not directly involved in the validation except for EV certificates, and Iñigo's description of the domain validation steps were that they were performed under the "any other method" allowance that existed in the Baseline Requirements, as well as functioning as a Delegated Third Party for domain validation.
At the time of adopting this practice, the CA/Browser Forum had already attempted to remove the "any other method", as acknowledged by StartCom, but that had been complicated by IP issues.
As a result of this disclosure, Mozilla took the following actions:
Mozilla requested that Camerfirma perform all domain validations directly, and not delegate to StartCom
Mozilla proposed a ballot to forbid the delegation of domain validation to the CA/Browser Forum, which was unanimously adopted in July 2017.
Issue D: Duplicate subjectAlternativeNames and incorrect Subject fields (April 2017)
Related to Issue B, Camerfirma misissued 162 certificates at the direction of StartCom. These certificates lacked required fields, such as localityName and stateOrProvinceName, and also contained duplicated entries within the subjectAlternativeName extension.
Both issues were the result of Camerfirma, related to the RA interface provided to StartCom, which omitted required fields and duplicated certain fields.
StartCom and Camerfirma were informed on 2017-04-17, which Camerfirma reportedly discovered on 2017-04-14. Camerfirma did not revoke these certificates on a timely basis; the majority were not replaced until 2017-04-25, although some certificates were not revoked for even longer.
Issue F: Ignoring CAA based on another CA's Certificate Transparency disclosure (Nov. 2017)
In 2017, it was revealed that Camerfirma had bypassed CAA checking for a domain that restricted issuance to Let's Encrypt. Camerfirma revealed that they had misunderstood the Baseline Requirements ("BRs"), and thought it was permissible to bypass CAA checks for any domain which had a certificate disclosed via Certificate Transparency. Camerfirma's explanation of the issue is that they were hurried when they read the requirements, and overlooked the explicitly stated requirement for the CA to check CAA.
Issue H: Non-compliant OCSP Responders by Third-Party Subordinates (Dec. 2017)
In 2017, two separate sub-CAs of Camerfirma, Intesa Sanpaolo and InfoCert, both had non-compliance issues in which their OCSP responders did not support the GET method, as required by the Baseline Requirements, and which responded "good" to unknown serial numbers. Based on this and responses from Camerfirma, it appeared that both sub-CAs had the same provider for their OCSP responder systems.
In response, Camerfirma updated their supervision of sub-CAs to additionally require their sub-CAs to provide BR self-assessments, rather than simply relying on audits. They also designated an employee to be responsible for following CA/B Forum, m.d.s.p., CCADB, and CA communications.
Issue J: Invalid DNS names within certificates (August 2017)
In 2017, security researchers examined Certificate Transparency databases for invalid dNSName Subject Alternative Names. These investigations revealed issues at a number of CAs, including Camerfirma.
When this was reported to Camerfirma, it was originally not responded to, as problem reports went to a single individual. As a result, these certificates were not revoked until after Mozilla had filed the incident for Camerfirma. Mozilla noted that Camerfirma had failed to respond within 24 hours after a problem report had been submitted and that approximately 15 certificates had been misissued with internal server names or a full URI in the CN or SAN field. Camerfirma's response was that, at the time of the incident, there were no technical controls over the contents of the DNS name. Camerfirma relied solely upon the RA operators, which are external, third-party entities, to correctly enter the value for the fields.
Per BR section 7.1.4.2.1, certificates with internal names, such as https://crt.sh/?q=8680123, were supposed to have been revoked as of 1 October 2016. However, during the bug investigation, it was revealed that Camerfirma had intentionally further failed to revoke some such certificates, on the basis that their customer would not permit them to revoke. Camerfirma stated their remediation was to update their contract to clarify that they would revoke on time.
Camerfirma stated they would deploy pre-issuance linting, using cablint and x509lint, in February 2018.
Note: One day prior (2017-08-23) to Camerfirma confirming the issue, yet several weeks after having received a report, Camerfirma misissued additional certificates with an invalid domain, which they did not discover until March 2018 when they ran an automated analysis that replaced a manual review of crt.sh. See also Issue P.
Issue L: Invalid subjectAlternativeName within certificates (July 2017)
Related to Issue J, in July 2017, it was discovered that, along with the now-distrusted PSCProCert, Camerfirma had issued certificates with an invalid subjectAlternativeName, using the X.500 dirName within the SAN. The Baseline Requirements prohibited the use of subjectAlternativeNames other than dNSName and iPAddress.
Camerfirma stated they were required to do so according to local regulation, but had failed to follow the requirements set forth in the Baseline Requirements to do so, and failed to provide supporting evidence of this requirement. No further information was provided by Camerfirma regarding this, either within the thread or within the related Bugzilla issue, nor was an incident report provided for this.
This was reported to Camerfirma on 2017-07-19, but they did not take action to revoke until 2017-08-17, with the explanation that they would not revoke until they had contacted the customer.
Issue N: Improper issuance and failure to revoke intranet certificates (2015 - 2017)
Bugzilla #1390977 is a good illustration of Mozilla's concerns about systemic issues at Camerfirma, which have diminished its confidence in Camerfirma as a CA. During the course of investigating Issues J and L, it was discovered that Camerfirma had failed to revoke two certificates for non-assigned domain names ("intranet certificates").
Such certificates were prohibited from having expiry dates after 2015-11-11; however, Camerfirma had issued these with validity periods into 2018 (the first issue), and failed to revoke them as required by the BRs on 2016-10-1 (the second issue).
Camerfirma's explanation was that they had not implemented the necessary controls to limit the validity period, and subsequently, not implemented the necessary controls to revoke them. When further pressed for details, Camerfirma responded that yes, they should have revoked, but that they had relied on their auditors to detect any issues of non-compliance.
Camerfirma described their approach to compliance as using an in-house CA platform that, for 17 years, had not had problems, and that they relied on the training of their RA operators to prevent issues. A growth in popularity for Camerfirma caused their controls to fail, and they would work to implement technical controls in the future.
Issue P: Invalid characters within the OU field (2018)
In January 2018, a month prior to when the technical controls from Issue J were to be deployed, Camerfirma misissued a certificate that violated the ASN.1 field requirements, by including non-printable control characters. While Camerfirma confirmed the certificate was revoked in January, they failed to respond with the necessary incident report, despite being specifically asked to do so.
Issue R: Failure to disclose unconstrained sub-CA (DigitalSign) (2018)
In April 2018, Camerfirma failed to disclose an unconstrained sub-CA, despite Mozilla requiring in November 2017 that such disclosures be complete by 2018-04-15.
No explanation was provided by Camerfirma as to the cause of this omission nor were effective controls provided that would prevent such Mozilla policy violations in the future.
Issue T: Failure to disclose unconstrained sub-CA (MULTICERT) (2018 - 2020)
In the course of resolving Issue R, it was further discovered in July 2018 that Camerfirma had failed to disclose two additional sub-CA certificates, operated by MULTICERT. Mozilla Policy required that such sub-CAs be disclosed within one week of creation.
Camerfirma's explanation at the time was that they failed to consider that the person responsible for disclosing into CCADB would be unavailable, and that the backup for that person would be unavailable. They resolved this by adding a backup to the backup, in case the backup fails.
However, the disclosure in the CCADB turned to be incorrect and misleading, as Camerfirma disclosed that they operated the sub-CA, when in fact it was externally operated. At the time, this was only detected because Microsoft had disclosed the CP/CPS they had for MULTICERT's root, which participated in Microsoft's root program. Camerfirma's explanation was that the person responsible for disclosing was overloaded, and that three people would be responsible for disclosures going forward.
In 2019, Camerfirma failed to provide correct audits for MULTICERT. Their explanation was that they only had one person responsible for communicating with their sub-CAs, and had failed to consider that the person responsible for communicating with sub-CAs and disclosing into CCADB would be unavailable. They stated that they intended to prevent such issues from recurring in the future by purporting to implement additional steps.
In 2020, Camerfirma again failed to properly disclose sub-CAs operated by MULTICERT, erroneously reporting them as covered by Camerfirma's CP/CPS. Their stated reason was because these new sub-CAs were not covered by a new audit from MULTICERT yet, although the expectations for how to disclose that had been previously communicated by Kathleen Wilson.
Issue V: Audit Qualifications (2017 - 2018)
In July 2018, Camerfirma disclosed that they received a qualified audit for the period 2017 - 2018. The following qualifications were noted that were not addressed in previous issues.
Conflicting information between CP/CPS around minimum key lengths, contact information, and key reuse.
Failure to disclose required information within their CP
Statements within their CP that information existed in supporting documents that did not exist.
Misissuance of qualified certificates according to the eIDAS profile
OCSP and CRL revocation instances returning different responses
OCSP services responding good for affirmatively-revoked certificates in the CRL
Failure to maintain evidence of routine self-assessment of Delegated Third Parties
This was reported on 2018-07-27, and despite a request for an incident report on 2018-07-30, Camerfirma did not address that request until 2018-08-24, stating that they were busy due to vacations and trying to remediate the issue, and did not provide an incident report until 2018-08-29.
In response, Mozilla required that a Point in Time assessment be completed no later than 2018-10-31, and the new audit period must not exceed 2019-04-13.
In the process of updating their CP/CPS, Camerfirma failed to comply with Mozilla policies, which had to be pointed out by Mozilla, and was subsequently corrected.
Issue X: MULTICERT Misissuance (2018 - 2019)
In August 2018, within weeks of having received a cross-signed sub-CA from Camerfirma (Issue T), MULTICERT misissued several certificates that violated the ASN.1 constraint for organizationName field length. Camerfirma's response was that both they, and MULTICERT, would regularly check crt.sh for certificate lint violations.
In October 2018, it was discovered that MULTICERT had misissued 174 certificates with an incorrect qcStatements extension. In response to the report that was provided, MULTICERT revoked the certificates, and then misissued new certificates with a validity period greater than 825 days to replace these the following month.
Further, after reportedly fixing the underlying issue, MULTICERT again misissued another certificate with a validity period greater than 825 days.
During the course of this investigation, MULTICERT also failed to revoke on the timeline required by the BRs, in order to give the customer more time to replace certificates.
In March 2019, it was discovered that MULTICERT's certificates also had insufficient entropy, containing only 63 bits of entropy, rather than the required 64.
Issue Z: Intesa Sanpaolo Misissuance (2017 - 2020)
In 2019, Camerfirma reported several incidents they had reportedly detected in 2018 regarding misissuance by a subordinate CA, Intesa Sanpaolo. These violations included violations of both RFC 5280 and of the Baseline Requirements. In the course of providing an incident report for these events, Camerfirma clarified that Intesa Sanpaolo had delayed revocation beyond the time required by the Baseline Requirements. In the incident report, and in light of repeated past delays, Camerfirma stated that it had established a new policy that would not permit delays in revoking from their sub-CAs.
In 2020, Intesa Sanpaolo has continued to delay revoking certificates that were misissued with invalid stateOrProvinceNames, with an estimate that they will complete revocation in 2021-01-15 for an incident they detected/resolved on 2020-09-25. Also, despite this issue being reported to Camerfirma, Infocert, its parent firm, misissued certificates for a number of days, because they disagreed.
In 2020, the Intesa Sanpaolo sub-CA issued a certificate for a subdomain of com.com, revoked five days after issuance. Camerfirma stated that this was the result of human error and that they have been retrained. Despite having committed to ensure Camerfirma performed domain validation in Issue B, and despite concerns around delays in reporting in Issue DD, Camerfirma did not ensure their sub-CA promptly reported this misissuance or ensure an incident report was filed.
Issue BB: Failure to revoke underscores (2019)
CA/Browser Forum Ballot SC12 clarified expectations around RFC 5280 compliance by making it unambiguous to CAs that underscores were not part of the "preferred name syntax" of domain names, with an expectation that any previously-issued certificates would be revoked by 2019-01-15.
Camerfirma failed to revoke several certificates, as a result of human error examining the certificates they had issued. A total of three certificates were disclosed, two from Camerfirma, one from a sub-CA of Camerfirma, Intesa Sanpaolo.
For Camerfirma, although they had implemented tools to block new issuance of underscores, human error failed to properly query the certificates they had issued to detect the two problematic certificates.
For Intesa Sanpaolo, they had failed to implement controls to prohibit the use of underscores, despite the requirements of SC12.
In response, Camerfirma stated that for examining certificates they issue, they will add a backup team to check the work of the primary team. For their sub-CAs, they will require that sub-CAs improve how they report to Camerfirma regarding compliance with the Baseline Requirements.
Issue DD: Infocert Misissuance (2017 - 2020)
Camerfirma's process for examining their sub-CAs' issued certificates via crt.sh led them to detect a number of misissued certificates in February and April 2018, which they did not report until June 2019. Like Camerfirma in Issue J and Issue P, the sub-CA had included improper domain names and improper organizationUnit names.
Camerfirma described the set of controls they had enacted to supervise sub-CAs, including requiring all sub-CAs use Camerfirma's lint service, and examining post-issuance lints on a daily basis. Further, as follow-up on the issue, although Issue H highlighted that audits alone are insufficient to assess compliance, Camerfirma revealed that they were still largely relying on audits. In response, they also required additional disclosures for their sub-CAs.
Issue FF: Intentional unrevocation of externally-operated sub-CA (2019)
In 2019, Camerfirma accidentally revoked a sub-CA for MULTICERT. MULTICERT had two sub-CAs from Camerfirma, and Camerfirma staff was confused by the similarity of serial numbers and subject names, and chose to revoke the wrong certificate.
After publishing this revocation in CRLs, Camerfirma realized their mistake. They then decided to "un"revoke the sub-CA, removing it from the CRL. RFC 5280 does not permit unrevocation, and the Baseline Requirements do not support certificate suspension. During the course of this event, it was discovered that the OCSP service did not match the CRL. Camerfirma had previously received qualified audits (Issue V) in 2018 for this inconsistency, so this was a repeat incident.
In the incident, Camerfirma stated their plan to reduce situations like this was to migrate to EJBCA from their internal sub-CA, with a target of September 2019, confirming they were on track for this in August 2019. However, in January 2020, Camerfirma communicated that they decided not to implement this solution, based on a change in company direction, developing an in-house tool that they claim provides the same features as EJBCA.
In light of concern for not providing updates, Camerfirma stated they have daily internal meetings, beginning in January 2020, to manage all open bugs and ensure timely communication.
Issue HH: EV Certificates with wrong businessCategory (2018 - 2019)
In 2019, DigiCert proactively contacted a number of CAs, highlighting misissuance by those CAs in the businessCategory field of EV certificates. Among the CAs affected, Camerfirma had also used the incorrect businessCategory for a number of certificates, failing to adhere to the EV Guidelines' requirements.
On further investigation, Camerfirma determined they had misissued additional certificates, not reported by DigiCert.
Camerfirma's response to this is to update their documentation and retrain their RA staff on the correct businessCategory to use.
Issue JJ: Unresolvable Gap in Audits (Camerfirma) (2018 - 2019)
For the period of 2018 to 2019, Camerfirma transitioned from using AUREN for WebTrust audits to using AENOR for eIDAS audits. In the course of this transition, a gap between the two audits was introduced, covering the period 2018-04-14 to 2018-05-08, a 25-day period.
Camerfirma stated that the cause of the gap was due to differences in the audit approaches used by WebTrust and ETSI, and the failure of Camerfirma to design for that. In the WebTrust-based approach, which is an attestation engagement, management states how operations were for a period of time. In the ETSI-based approach, which is a compliance approach, the auditor states that a CA is certified compliant as of a particular date.
In the course of transitioning to ETSI, there were major non-conformities identified by the auditor that the auditor required Camerfirma to resolve prior to certifying Camerfirma. This delay introduced a gap within the respective periods. Camerfirma first became aware of these non-conformities based on the auditor's investigation, as shared 2018-03-23.
Camerfirma decided not to pursue both audits in parallel in order to save on expenses, and did not consider beginning the audit sooner, which would have provided time to address non-conformities. They stated that there were several sub-CAs still using the WebTrust audit scheme, even as they were using ETSI, and would consider this as part of the sub-CA transition plan.
Issue LL: Invalid authorityKeyIdentifier (2003 - 2020)
Mozilla Policy has, since Version 1.0, restricted authority key IDs to including either the key ID or the issuer name and serial, explicitly prohibiting the use of both sets of fields. Every certificate issued by Camerfirma since 2003 violated this.
In response, Camerfirma acknowledged that they had misunderstood the Mozilla Requirement in light of RFC 5280, and stated that as of 2019-10-25, all new certificates would not demonstrate this problem, although it was not actually completed until 2019-11-18.
Despite Mozilla's policy requiring revocation of certificates that do not comply with Mozilla's policies, Camerfirma decided not to revoke these certificates. Camerfirma's statement was that clients would not be prepared for revocation on the timelines required, despite Issue J stating their contract was modified to permit this, and Issue Z stating they would not permit delays from sub-CAs in revoking either. The primary difference here is that some of the certificates are used directly by users, particularly S/MIME, and not just servers.
Despite committing to have this issue fixed, in 2020, it was noticed that Camerfirma had repeated the same issue. Camerfirma's explanation was that they had a large number of certificate profiles, and in the process of creating the scope of work to resolve the first issue, they overlooked a set of misconfigured profiles, and thus repeated. This was not caught by the automated linting that they had deployed, because they had not updated it to detect this issue.
Despite having a daily review process, identified in Issue BB, multiple weeks went by without any updates on remediation efforts. Additionally, for the newly misissued certificates in 2020, Camerfirma again failed to timely revoke certificates, on the basis that their customers asked them to delay. Separately, they communicated to their users Camerfirma's obligations to revoke.
Issue NN: Incorrect OCSP Delegated Responder Certificate (2013 - 2020)
Along with a number of CAs, Camerfirma issued three sub-CAs that had the ability to provide OCSP responses for Camerfirma.
Camerfirma stated that the cause was that they were unaware of the interaction of this EKU, and in response, introduced controls to prevent this EKU from sub-CAs. As with many other CAs, Camerfirma was not able to revoke these sub-CAs in a timely fashion, as required by the BRs.
Camerfirma's explanation for the delay is that one of the sub-CAs was used within the health sector for smartcards, and required the replacement of smart cards. Additionally, they stated that changes required the approval of their National Supervisory Body before they would be able to make them. Camerfirma stated that the keys were destroyed on 2020-10-02, but did not have that ceremony witnessed by a qualified auditor or independent third-party, only witnessed by Camerfirma staff.
Issue PP: Failure to disclose unconstrained Sub-CA (Government of Andorra) (2013 - 2019)
Camerfirma disclosed that, until 2018, they had not audited an S/MIME sub-CA controlled by the Government of Andorra. Upon receiving the audit report in 2019, multiple non-conformities were identified.
In response, Camerfirma stated that they would revoke the old certificate in October 2019, replacing it with a new intermediate for the Government of Andorra following a Point-in-Time assessment, and to be followed up with a Period of Time report in February 2020.
Camerfirma's explanation was that because this sub-CA was not intended to issue TLS certificates, they had not considered it in scope. However, Mozilla's policy has required, since 2014, that CAs capable of TLS be audited and disclosed, and since 2017, that S/MIME capable CAs be audited and disclosed. Despite Issue H regarding the supervision of CAs in 2017, this was not detected until 2018, and not reported to Mozilla until the audit received was qualified, in 2019. Previously, in Issue R, the expectation for disclosure of S/MIME CAs had been communicated to Camerfirma.
Camerfirma's explanation for this oversight is that they had an insufficient number of people working on this, and appointed a backup, a response they'd previously taken two years in a row, as captured in Issue T.
Despite receiving the first audit report on 2019-07-29, Camerfirma declined to revoke this CA for several months, due to the potential disruption. They stated they had made their clients sign an agreement entitling Camerfirma to revoke in the event of misissuance.
Issue RR: Failure to disclose unconstrained Sub-CA (Intesa Sanpaolo and Infocert) (2018 - 2020)
In 2018, Camerfirma allowed two sub-CAs to be unconstrained and unaudited for 6 months, which was discovered by Mozilla in the course of investigating Issue T.
The following year, Camerfirma failed to disclose audits for their sub-CAs. After they were contacted by Mozilla, they updated the audits, 3 months after they were due. The explanation provided by Camerfirma was, as discussed in Issue T and Issue PP, that they had only one person responsible for this.
In 2019, Camerfirma again failed to properly disclose a sub-CA operated by Intesa Sanpaolo, by stating that its CP/CPS was Camerfirma's, despite the audit stating otherwise. Camerfirma's explanation for this was that it was human error, and attributed it to CCADB likely not saving correctly. In the future, they promised to check to make sure the information is correct.
Issue TT: Certificate with Incorrect OrganizationName (Nov. 2020)
In 2020, Camerfirma issued a certificate where the Org Name was preceded by a colon ": ". The explanation provided was that validation officer did not notice the incorrect value before approving issuance. Added controls to decrease the likelihood of this happening in the future include additional training and highlighting certificate value fields.
Issue UU: Certificate for unregistered domain (Oct. 2020)
In 2020, Camerfirma issued a certificate to an unregistered domain based on a typo and human error. The proposed remediation was additional training. However, it was noted that the incident also exhibited inadequate domain validation, CAA checking, and certificate revocation, as well as a lack of historic examination of past incidents and meeting incident reporting requirements.
