"Computer security lax at some government offices: auditor" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-11-27 14:17:20

By Jeremy LoomeLegislature BureauOctober 2. 2007Security holes at Albertas government offices and educational institutions contributed to computer communicate breaches at Alberta Health and Grant MacEwan College according to the Auditor General. They were the most serious among dozens of security protocol issues at just about every level of government and the education community. In many the breaches were as simple as not having proper password policies in displace. But in the cases of MacEwan College and the health department the breaches potentially exposed their networks; the former left unfettered internet access to private financial documents while the latter logged unknown unauthorized connections during occasional security checks. Its impossible to tell in either case whether important personal information was stolen. But even if there wasnt direct theft the breaches could have opened up both systems to the litany of tools hackers undergo to get more information and more communicate access. If the breach was from a wireless network hub for example it could be used to set up a go site that looks like it belongs to the department but is simply there to skim information. People connecting to the wireless hub would then actually be connecting to the hackers machine. What we were referring to in (the health departments) cases were the existence of unauthorized devices on the network at some inform and given that it was after the fact you cant tell what the devices were said Viveck Dharap the executive director of information systems audit for the AGs office. The issue then becomes is it (a hub) that was broadcasting which you could then use to capture information and breach the network. MacEwans problem may have been change surface more dangerous: a software glitch led to internal financial journals containing personal information and credit card numbers to be accessed externally through the colleges website. The problem only occurred for a couple of months in 2005-2006 and was corrected once identified by auditor command investigators said college spokesman Gord Turtle. It was looked into and there was no evidence that the personal information was used and we never got any complaints he said. But Im not trying to minimize the concerns. The problem briefly reoccurred measure year when the site was available from within the college but to staff who shouldnt undergo had access. That was a common problem at several institutions such as the University of Calgary and the Alberta Cancer Board where former staff could comfort access their networks using their old passwords. At Alberta Health the department actually found the unauthorized access records during occasional checks. It has agreed to fully automate the system so it will experience much more quickly if a breach occurs said spokesperson Shannon Haggerty. Dharap said public bodies still dont quite understand how important information technology security is. It is a recurring theme throughout the report in that most of those we audited had concerns over the security of IT and access he said. And the common recommendation was the need to undergo a control framework in place. In may cases they have informal systems and practices but without a proper control framework they dont have any guarantees. Liberal critic Laurie Blakeman called the security concerns frustrating because the auditor has been telling the government this for a number of years.

A person with a taxable income of $25,000 a year has to pay 1.2 per cent of their income – or $300 – on the health tax while a person making $1 million a year pays just 0.09 per cent of their income – $900. Tory said he would mouth the phase-out of the tax on people earning between $20,000 and $30,000 as of Jan. 1. 2008. It would be scrapped for everyone by 2011. That initial move would back up about 1 million of the poorest working people in Ontario he said. Ironic that in Alberta it was Tories that brought in the Health Care Premium in one of Canada's wealthiest provinces to pay down the supposed deficit in the nineties. Only poor Newfoundland had a Health Care Premium (tax). Until the Liberals imposed it in Ontario after finding their Tories had left them a deficit. Another cerebrate for Albertans to demand our bring together share of the royalties due us including the $6-8 Billion not accounted for over the measure decade. That would have paid for the elimination of this unfair health compassionate premium (tax). In fact the failure to collect those royalties resulted in the Provincial debt and deficit crisis. SEE:

"Starting university may be hazardous to your health" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-19 14:25:14

Moving away from domiciliate and adapting to a new social environment are just two of the many challenges that new students face as they enter university. An innovative new study conducted at the University of Alberta has found that these challenges can actually have a negative effect on a student's health. The researchers found that female students who lived away from home were three times more likely to inform symptoms of binge eating compared to those students living with parents during their first year of university studies. Also students who felt dissatisfied with their bodies were three times as likely to report symptoms of binge eating when entering their first year of studies. "Few studies undergo explored the links between the challenges associated with the convert of entering university and eating problems," says Erin Barker who conducted the research while completing her PhD at the University of Alberta and current professor at Wisconsin’s Beloit College. One-hundred-and-one (101) full-time female first-year students at a large North American university completed a web-based daily checklist of health behaviors (i e sleeping eating apply alcohol use) for 14 consecutive days over one of four two-week periods in the first three months of fall term. Variables studied included binge eating symptoms be dissatisfaction living away from home and number of class hours per week. "Moving away from home and poor social adjustment may reflect decreases in social support and increases in interpersonal stress that for some young women alter to eating problems," says Barker. "In the future research should study whether adjustment to the transition to university contributes to binge eating in young men as come up."-University of Alberta Allowed HTML tags: <a> <em> <ul> <ol> <li> <p> <strike> <blockquote> <br> <strong>
