If the NSA can't gather and store these records
we'll see requests for the providers (phone and internet) to keep the
same records for X years in case the NSA needs to access them. FISA
warrants required?
N.S.A.
Collection of Bulk Call Data Is Ruled Illegal
A federal appeals court in New York ruled on
Thursday that the once-secret National Security Agency program that
is systematically collecting Americans’ phone records in bulk is
illegal.
… In a 97-page
ruling, a three-judge panel for the United States Court of
Appeals for the Second Circuit held that a provision of the U.S.A.
Patriot
Act, known as Section 215, cannot be legitimately interpreted to
allow the bulk collection of domestic calling records.
(Related) Local “bulk collection” is Okay.
Because somewhere in all those records there might be
something that related to an investigation.
Brian Melley reports:
Police don’t have to disclose license plate records that advocacy groups sought to gauge how high-tech surveillance was being used, a California appeals court ruled Wednesday.
The unanimous ruling by the 2nd District Court of Appeal rejected a California Public Records Act request for data compiled by the Los Angeles police and sheriff’s departments.
For my Data Governance students. Naturally this
comes out (again) in an election year, have they never heard of
Murphy? What else do they believe they can slip by us and no one
will notice? Or do they think no one reads this stuff? Or do they
think?
White House
documents found to be altered

– Free Government Information, by James R. Jacobs –
“Researchers at the University of Illinois say they have found
evidence on the Whitehouse Web site that suggests “a
pattern of revision and removal from the public record that spans
several years, from 2003 through at least 2005. Instead
of issuing a series of revised lists with new dates, or maintaining
an updated master list while preserving copies of the old ones, the
White House removed original documents, altered them, and replaced
them with backdated
modifications that only appear to be originals.”

Once again, our reliance on government websites
for current information fails to preserve the historical record and
yields an incomplete, unverifiable, and even altered record. We need
government to instantiate information and actively deposit those
instantiations outside the dot-gov realm (e.g., with FDLP libraries)
to help guarantee a complete and accurate record.”
Perspective. Technology kills the school dance?
How Teen
Media Consumption Has Changed Over the Years
Being a teenager
in 2015 is very different than it was in 1995. While most teenagers
spent their free time watching a little TV in the 90s, there were far
fewer screens to put in front of their faces. A social
network was the group of friends you hung out with at school.
Now, things have changed. Technology has opened
all kinds of new things to teens, some good and some bad. So just
how as being a teenager changed from the 90s? Are things better or
worse? Take a look at the infographic below from TeenSafe
that presents true facts about teens and media and decide for
yourself.
If it matters to the Sales team, it will matter to
management, which means I should teach my Data Management students
that it matters to them.
The
Technology Trends That Matter to Sales Teams
The convergence of mobile, analytics, context-rich
systems, and the cloud, together with an explosion of information, is
transforming sales, and enabling buyers and salespeople to engage
with each other in more effective and efficient ways. Recently,
information technology research and advisory company Gartner compiled
a list of top 10 strategic technology trends. At least five of
these trends have significant implications for sales forces,
including:
Oh wow, there's an App for that?

Recent college grads are dreadfully underemployed,
yet many companies can’t find enough qualified applicants to fill
key roles. That’s where Koru
steps in. The Seattle company, co-founded by Onvia co-founder
Kristen Hamilton, serves as a “coach and connector” for young
people trying to break into the workforce.
