The General Services Administration's Federal Public-key Infrastructure Steering Committee, in a significant move toward adopting a governmentwide PKI, is finalizing plans to purchase 150 licenses of an electronic-signature application. |
Six months ago, GSA was skeptical about using ApproveIt Desktop from Silanis Technology Inc. of St. Laurent, Quebec. Officials weren't sure if the signing tool, which works via a browser, would work with the Defense Department's PKI. |
But after a November analysis of ApproveIt, the Defense Department's Joint Interoperability Test Command said the software was interoperable with its proprietary system. |
The test showed that any agency using the software could accept DOD certificates, and verify the status of the certificate maintained in DOD databases'including certificate path-building and processing'and certificate revocation lists of invalid DOD certificates. It would also work in DOD's Lightweight Directory Access... |
Cell phone companies argue the FCC's upcoming mandate that would allow customers to keep their phone numbers when they change carriers. |
Cell phone companies on Tuesday asked an appeals court to overturn a requirement that cell phone subscribers be allowed to keep the same telephone number when changing carriers. |
Number portability, as the Federal Communications Commission calls its mandate, will take effect Nov. 24--barring any court orders to the contrary. |
The Court of Appeals in Washington D.C. will likely publish its much-anticipated decision several weeks from now, industry insiders say. |
The court's decision may end up being "one of the most important decisions the industry will face this year," Tom Wheeler, president of the Cellular Telecommunication and Internet Association, said in an earlier interview. Members of the CTIA, the cell phone?s leading lobbying group, were among the observers at Tuesday... |
What U.S. carriers fear most about number portability is a dramatic increase in "churn," or the percentage of customers who change carriers when their contracts end. They cite evidence from Hong Kong, where wireless carriers made number portability available beginning in 1999. Churn, which is measured by percentage of ... |
Various surveys back up carrier claims. Anywhere between 15 percent and 45 percent of U.S. wireless subscribers say they would more readily change carriers if they could keep their own cell phone numbers. |
In court Tuesday, lawyers for the carriers argued that the regulation creates an unfair financial burden on them and that the FCC doesn't have the legal authority to enforce it. Both are familiar refrains for carriers, which have used the same arguments against other FCC requirements, including enhanced 911. |
But attorneys for the FCC, supported by consumer groups, argued that not only does it have the authority but that the regulation itself will help bring about more competition in the cellular industry as carriers try to retain customers with newer and better services. |
The FCC also argued that number portability is part of a one-two punch of requirements to help conserve the shrinking pool of 10-digit phone numbers assigned to North American wireless users. Billions of telephone numbers are assigned to the continent, and new ones are due to run out by 2012. |

The former Colorado governor is one of the only Democratic presidential candidates to oppose Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's signature plan. He has a reason. |
WASHINGTON — Unlike virtually every other candidate in the 2020 Democratic field, former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper is not a fan of the Green New Deal, and he wants you to know it. |
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y, is the biggest star in the Democratic Party at the moment and her Green New Deal, which calls for massive government investment and regulations to fight climate change, is her signature issue. |
It’s popular. A whopping 91 percent of likely Iowa Democratic caucusgoers say they favor candidates who support it, according to a Des Moines Register poll. And all six Senate Democrats running for president co-sponsored Ocasio-Cortez's bill. Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke said, “I haven't seen anything better” to fight cli... |
But much of that support may be soft since, much like Medicare for All, many presidential candidates qualify their support by saying they're open to lots of potential ways to fight climate change. |
Enter Hickenlooper, who made his opposition to the plan plain in a Washington Post op-ed titled, “The Green New Deal sets us up for failure." His campaign then made sure reporters saw the op-ed and made him available for interviews. |
"I wasn't out there trying to rip anything apart," Hickenlooper told NBC News in a phone interview. “I agree completely with the sense of urgency — we're within a decade or so of suffering irreversible damage of the planet." |
He likes the idea of a Green New Deal, just not this one. He pointed to its inclusion of issues like a federal jobs guarantee. His op-ed cited a fact sheet put out by Ocasio-Cortez's office that doesn't reflect the content of her bill and which she later disowned, and criticized the plan for not acknowledging the role ... |
“Campaigns are about different voices and different positions, and I felt there was a benefit in beginning the discussion around what would a more focused Green New Deal would look like,” he said. |
Politically, the move helps Hickenlooper carve the ideological space he hopes to occupy in the crowded primary, which his advisers see as open to big ideas, but pragmatic. It's a position that has sometimes seemed muddled, like when Hickenlooper struggled to answer whether he's a capitalist. The only other candidate to... |
For Hickenlooper, who once worked as a geologist in the oil and gas industry and more recently drank fracking fluid to show it was not toxic, a better solution involves bringing industry and environmentalists together and encouraging them to collaborate. |
It’s a faith in compromise — critics would say a blind one — informed by his experience in Colorado, where he facilitated a process that led to fracking regulations embraced by both extractors and environmental activists. |
Of course, scaling that up to a national level and to many more industries would be another matter entirely. And much of the environmental movement have now moved beyond mere regulations and want to keep carbon in the ground and prevent it from being extracted at all. |
But Hickenlooper believes there is always a way to get to a compromise. |
He will put that belief to the test next week, when he makes a campaign swing through the South in some of the most conservative states in the country: Alabama, Georgia, Texas, South Carolina. |
President of Italy Sergio Mattarella has ended his official visit to Azerbaijan. |

CHARLOTTE, N.C., July 8, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Curtiss-Wright Corporation (NYSE:CW) today announced that it is expanding its share repurchase program to $300 million, an increase of an additional $100 million available under the current authorization.

Stars mixed and mingled at the TIME 100 Gala cocktail party in New York City on Tuesday night. |

The wreck happened near Exit 213 to State Route 1560 and Guilford College Road, according to the N.C. Department of Transportation. |
Highway Patrol reported that only one vehicle was involved. |
NCDOT reports the event began at 7:39 a.m. |
Officials do not expect it to end until 12:47 p.m. |
A New Jersey lawmaker is arguing that the fatal shooting of Jersey City Police Det. Melvin Santiago should lead to the state reinstating the death penalty. |
Assemblyman Ronald Dancer, R-Jackson, said Santiago was "targeted for murder," and that the public supports a return of the death penalty to bring "the full weight of justice in crimes such as this," according to Chasing New Jersey. |
“I believe that the time is now to reinstate the death penalty for these heinous, violent crimes when it comes to murdering law enforcement officers, when it comes to murdering a child or a terrorist,” he told the news show. |
Santiago, 23, was killed last Sunday in what police have called an ambush at the Walgreens at Kennedy Boulevard and Communipaw Avenue. Officers on the scene returned fire, killing the assailant. |
New Jersey repealed its death penalty in 2007 under former Gov. Jon Corzine, a Democrat. |
If you use the Internet or own a credit card, the threat of having your identity stolen is omnipresent. Now, leading Internet service providers, financial institutions, and companies such as Sony are offering customers peace of mind with free identity theft protection. Other companies such as Debix are offering a free ... |
Cheapskates, beware: Although the offers sound good--and although they will save you between $10 and $15 monthly compared to paid ID theft protection alternatives--some of the offers we spotted could give you a false sense of security. We examined free ID theft protection offers from banks, ISPs, and assorted companies... |
At its core, an identity theft protection service should monitor all three credit reporting agencies (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion) constantly to see if anything fishy is going on, and it should send you an immediate alert if it spots any red flags, says Jay Foley, executive director of the Identity Theft Resource... |
Among free ID theft protection services, you'll rarely get both monitoring of your credit reports and immediate alerts about suspicious activity. Protection isn't worth much if your name, Social Security number, and financial data are in the wrong hands and the service doesn't let you know, Foley says. |
Any ID theft protection service that offers less probably exists for the sole purpose of upselling you to a paid protection plan. But as Paul Stephens, director of policy and advocacy at the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, points out, "Even a little protection is better than none." |
While some of the services we spotted offer robust ID theft protection, most lack recommended safeguards. The aim of those lesser ID theft protection services is to monitor the Internet for any hint that your identity might be for sale on the black market, and to help victims close compromised accounts, place fraud ale... |
Odds are good that your ISP offers a basic form of identity theft protection. Comcast announced last month that its 23 million Xfinity broadband customers would have free ID theft protection, called the Constant Guard Protection Suite, as part of a partnership with Intersections, an ID theft protection firm. |
The service doesn't monitor credit bureaus or give you automatic alerts. Instead it offers basic protections that it calls "lost-wallet protection" for your personal data. That is, if your credit card info is stolen--physically or digitally--the service will help with replacing your cards, by contacting your credit com... |
Comcast's suite of ID theft protection tools serves more as marketing for its full, premium ID theft plans, which range between $8 and $13 a month. |
Last year AOL began offering paying dial-up customers (those who pay $26 a month) free identity fraud protection from LifeLock. For those still subscribing to AOL dial-up service, the protection service is a great deal, providing credit bureau monitoring and alerts along with lost-wallet protection, cybermonitoring, an... |
Many smaller banks and credit unions offer free ID theft protection as a way to stand out from the pack. Plans vary, but programs such as the one from Canandaigua National Bank and Trust in New York offer surprisingly strong protection to customers. Open a checking account at Canandaigua National Bank and Trust, and yo... |
In 2007 nearly 130 banks and credit unions in the United States offered free ID theft protection. Four years later it's worth asking your bank about ID theft protection. The programs we spotted won't cost you anything, but do require you to explicitly sign up for the services. |
After 77 million accounts on Sony's PlayStation Network and Sony Online Entertainment had their personal identification exposed to hackers, Sony offered its users free ID theft protection for one year. Sony customers have until July 31 to sign up for the offer. |
Sony offers its ID theft protection through a company called Debix and its AllClear ID Plus plan. The offer meets security experts' recommendations, supplying both credit bureau monitoring and alerts should a red flag pop up. |
Sony has promised free protection for every PSN and SOE user, and Debix has an easy-to-follow registration process on its website. The downside is that Sony will cover the cost of the AllClear ID Plus plan for only one year; after that you'll have to pay for the service yourself. |
Free, but Are They Worth It? |
Not eligible for any of the above offers? Two identity protection companies offer free bare-bones identity protection plans for any consumer. |
IDSafe, a free service from TrustedID, helps you access and scan your credit scores for misuse (though only at one credit bureau, for only partial protection), and it provides lost-wallet service, notifying your credit card companies in the event that your cards go missing. |
Debix has a free service called AllClearID that gives you some of the same basic protections provided to Sony customers. It doesn't monitor credit bureaus, but it will watch the Web for your identity on black markets; AllClearID also gives lost-wallet protection. |
Both IDSafe and AllClearID exist as marketing tools to get you to upgrade to the companies' respective paid services. Although no-cost protection is better than nothing, it's important not to have an inflated sense of how secure these services make you. In addition, you should be clear about the terms of service for an... |
Free protection services from ISPs Cox, EarthLink, and Time Warner Road Runner sound as if they offer ID theft protection. It may be splitting hairs, but what these companies really offer are typically just antivirus packages: The antivirus software's protection features are simply programmed to deliver a pop-up warnin... |
If you want to protect yourself from identity thieves, and if you can stay vigilant, you can monitor the keystone of your privacy--your credit reports--for suspicious activity yourself. AnnualCreditReport.com offers free yearly access to your credit report from Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. |
Paid ID theft protection can cost between $10 and $15 a month. If you're wondering whether such services are worth the investment to you, consider this: According to the Better Business Bureau, if you become a victim, the out-of-pocket costs to reclaim your identity come to an average of $400, and the average cost of d... |
Americans have a sick feeling about Hillary Clinton’s health. |
Seventy-nine percent of voters have heard a lot or some about the Democratic presidential nominee’s health woes, according to a Morning Consult poll, which was taken after her caught-on-camera collapse during a 9/11 ceremony. |
And 41 percent say her health is below average or very poor, compared to only 26 percent who said that in August. A plurality, 28 percent, rank her health as average. Last month, it was 30 percent. |
A little more than 2 in 10 (22 percent) say Clinton’s health is above average or excellent — down from 29 percent from a national poll in August. |
Meanwhile, views on Donald Trump’s health have hardly changed, with 36 percent saying it’s above average or excellent compared to 33 percent in late August. |
The GOP nominee, who has bragged about downing fast food, recently presented a cursory, grammatically challenged doctor’s note attesting to his “extraordinary” strength and stamina. |
There are significant partisan differences in opinions in the poll, with seven in 10 (68 percent of) Republicans saying Clinton’s health was below average or very poor, compared with 16 percent of Democrats. |
Less than half of voters (44 percent) said Clinton’s health would negatively affect her ability to serve — including 23 percent of Democrats, 69 percent of Republicans and 44 percent of independents. |
Forty-three percent said her health concerns would not affect her ability, while 13 percent said they didn’t know or didn’t have an opinion. |
