Wheeler up for Commerce vote - White House makes jobs pitch at Amazon facility - Froman visits Chamber
By Alex Byers
With help from Jessica Meyers
DRIVING THE DAY: WHEELER UP FOR COMMERCE VOTE ? Senate Commerce lawmakers have a plethora of votes to take up today, and approval of FCC nominee Tom Wheeler is one of them. It?s been 90 days since the former telecom lobbyist was put up by the Obama administration, and the FCC?s had to make do with just three commissioners for most of that time. But no Republican has officially been floated to replace former commissioner Robert McDowell, meaning that even if Wheeler goes through committee today, the full Senate is likely to hold off on confirming him until he?s got a GOP companion (plus, there?s the August recess to contend with.) Separately, senators will vote on the Rockefeller/Thune cybersecurity bill that?s likely to be favorably reported, as well as the chairman?s Violent Content Research Act. Not on the schedule: Rockefeller?s Do Not Track bill, which was introduced in February but isn?t viable jn Congress right now. Things get underway at 2:30.
FEDGOV RESPONSES DUE TODAY IN GOOGLE/MSFT FISA PROCEEDINGS ? There?s a few opportunities for surveillance news to pop today. Among those for which you should have eyes peeled: Today?s the third deadline for the federal government to respond to Google and Microsoft?s requests that they be cleared to release more detailed data on the extent of FISA requests they receive. The government has already asked for two extensions, and asking for a third is an obvious possibility. But the administration says it wants to have a big debate on surveillance and national security ? at some point, they?ll have to weigh in. Separately, the administration is supposed to lay out a timeline for declassifying the FISA court?s opinion in 2008 proceedings with Yahoo. (That filing was actually due Monday, but we didn?t see it uploaded to the court?s filing site last night.)
Plus, CNN?s Barbara Starr reports that additional info about surveillance programs could be declassified as soon as today: ?A senior U.S. official tells CNN the information includes ?white papers? on surveillance programs but also previously undisclosed information about the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. ... 'I think there is a high likelihood of FISC opinions being declassified soon,? the official said, although it does not appear the opinions themselves will be part of the upcoming declassification. http://bit.ly/17cDkNk
And, ICYMI: The Senate Judiciary Committee unveiled Monday night letters written from FISA court judge Reggie Walton to Chairman Patrick Leahy and ranking member Chuck Grassley. There?s a lot that may be of interest for surveillance wonks ? including the fact that no one has ever challenged a 215 order: http://1.usa.gov/17cEhFx

WHITE HOUSE MAKES JOBS PITCH AT AMAZON FACILITY ? President Barack Obama departs for Chattanooga, Tenn. this morning to make an afternoon speech and take a tour of an Amazon warehouse facility. It?s the first follow to the economic vision he teased in Illinois last week, which focuses (again) on a boost for the middle class. We?d expect to hear again about the manufacturing goals Obama laid out in this year?s State of the Union (he announced three new ?manufacturing innovation institutes? in February, and wants to see a total of 15.) Politically, the White House has a good frame for the speech, with the e-Commerce giant?s announcement Thursday that it?ll add 5,000 jobs. Some, though, are questioning whether those jobs are the ones the administration wants opening up ? Alec MacGillis in The New Republic makes the case here: http://on.tnr.com/16fQgFj.
The White House, of course, is a fan of Amazon?s policy baby, the Marketplace Fairness Act, which would allow states to collect online sales tax from out-of-state retailers. Separately, though, Amazon is suing the federal government over the disruption of a major cloud-computing contract it signed with the Central Intelligence Agency earlier this year. Today?s speech is set to start at 2 p.m.

inSPIRE STEM USA PITCHING HILL ON IMMIGRATION?S TECH, AGRICULTURE BOOSTS ? The advocacy group is hosting a briefing this afternoon on the economic benefits of comprehensive immigration reform, and they?re getting a hand from tech. The meeting, open only to congressional staffers, will feature Microsoft?s Bill Kamela, the National Association of Manufacturers? Christine Scullion, and Hamilton place Strategies? Tony Fratto. As part of the pitch, attendees can expect to hear plenty about the need for a STEM education fund, which some like inSPIRE had pushed aggressively for as part of the Hill?s immigration work. They got it in the Senate bill, but that measure isn't getting a vote in the House ? and the lower chamber?s skilled-workers bill doesn?t have include a STEM fund. The briefing starts at noon in Rayburn B340.
FROMAN VISITS CHAMBER ? Chamber of Commerce President Tom Donohue will chat up USTR head Michael Froman this morning, as the administration looks to start wrapping up negotiations on the Trans-Pacific Partnership and further dig into discussions with the EU. Business groups are pushing for faster movement on both fronts, and a chamber spokesperson said the conversation will touch on each one, as well as an Information Technology Agreement that recently stalled in Geneva. The U.S. accused China of holding up ITA negotiations, but the Chamber spokesperson sounded an optimistic note there, saying ?there?s still ?cause for hope for the first time in years as trade negotiators pursue new agreements in services, tech goods, and trade facilitation.? Watch, too, for mention of legislation that would fast-track trade agreements, and how the administration will try to squeeze it through Congress. The conversation gets going at 10 a.m.
HELLER DROPS FCC REFORM BILL ? Nevada?s Dean Heller, who led process reform work for the Senate GOP last Congress and indicated last month that he?d continue carrying the torch, introduced Monday an upper-chamber version of the House bill that would alleviate some of the commission?s reporting burdens. The full House Energy and Commerce Committee is slated to vote on their version of the bill Wednesday, which has both House telecom Chairman Greg Walden and ranking member Anna Eshoo signed on as co-sponsors. It?s not clear, though, that there?s as much bipartisan agreement on the issue in the upper chamber. A Heller aide declined to give an assessment of the landscape in the Senate.
KLOBUCHAR & CO. TACKLE STANDARDS ESSENTIAL PATENTS ? ?The Senate antitrust subcommittee examines this morning the mess that is standards essential patents and how they factor into antitrust law.

Sony Developing 300GB Blu-Ray Successor
Sony has signed an agreement with Panasonic to develop high capacity optical discs for 2015.
One of the saving graces of the PlayStation 3, especially during its early days, was the Blu-Ray format. The PS3 was, at its release, one of the cheapest and best Blu-Ray players on the market. The Blu-Ray in turn, especially after it defeated the competing HD-DVD format, has remained a draw for the PS3 in the years to follow thanks to its high storage capacity and prevalent presence in HD entertainment. Now, Sony has revealed that the future could see the introduction of a new wave of optical discs with a storage capacity well beyond current standards.
According to a press release put out by Sony, the company, which created the Blu-Ray format, has signed an agreement with Panasonic with the intent of "developing a next-generation standard for professional-use optical discs." These new discs will be developed with a recording capacity of around 300GB, three times that of the Blu-Ray's100GB upper limit. The discs will fulfill "[the] increasing need for archive capabilities, not only from video production industries, such as motion pictures and broadcasting, but also from cloud data centers that handle increasingly large volumes of data following the evolution in network services." If all goes to plan this new high capacity format will become available in 2015.
While the press release doesn't explicitly discuss videogames, it's not much of stretch to surmise that more storage capacity could mean bigger games. Likewise, a high capacity disc would probably be helpful in furthering the proliferation of 4K and Ultra HD, video formats that provide extreme high definition at the cost of enormous file sizes. This being said, if the new discs aren't compatible with current Blu-Ray drives (a significant possibility), it could limit their usefulness on hardware like the PS4 which will employ a Blu-Ray disc drive.

Outsource ? For the Love of your Business | Bridge Global IT Staffing
Outsourced employees always strive to ensure that they provide the best service for you and do not see themselves as just one inconsequential part of a big machine like many in-house employees do. Outsourced employees know that you have a choice to take your business elsewhere, which is why they will put in their very best (all the time) in the tasks that they perform for you. Many in-house staff usually get ?comfortable? and bored with their job and lack the passion that they once had for their job.? With an outraced employee, you can always count on getting quality performance.
You also get to pay an outsourced according to the number of hours that they work. For instance, if your outsourced employee gets paid 347 per month for a putting in 40 hours of work time at 10 hours per week, you only get to pay for 40 hours and not more. Many employers do not know this, but they actually pay certain employees in their companies for sitting down in front of their computer and just chatting away on Facebook, Twitter or any other social networking site.
Large businesses that hire outsourced customer services providers to help handle their customer services support are outsourcing that aspect of their business function in order to concentrate on their core business activities.? It is totally possible to outsource virtually every aspect of business processes within a company.
Outsourced Business Practices
As mentioned above, virtually any part of business processes that is not related to core business activities can be successfully outsourced. Here are a couple of typically outsourced business processes:
- Graphic design and multimedia
- Financing and accounting
- Telemarketing and sales
- Data entry and administrative support
- Web design and development
- Business strategy
- Advertising
- Consulting
- Business plans
- Legal
- Copyright
- Contracts
- Article writing and translation
- Incorporation?
- Database development
- Press releases
- Creative writing
- Software and technology
- Copy writing
When you outsource, you are not only saving a lot of money on running your business, you are also saving yourself from the heartache of paying unproductive employees who are just dead weight.?

BMW unveils i3 electric car in the carbon fiber flesh (video)
BMW's i3 concept has been kicking around for quite awhile, and so far we've seen the carbon fiber chassis, a you-wish prototype, many of the specs and even the price. All that remained was to see an actual car, and BMW has finally pulled the covers off of it today. The $41,350 (US pricing) vehicle will run for 80-100 miles on a charge while going from 0 to 60 MPH in seven seconds, thanks to the 22kWh battery, 170-horsepower electric motor and relatively slight 2,600 pound heft. If you opt to pay $45,200, you'll be able to nearly double the range, thanks to an optional 34-horsepower two-cylinder backup motor. That's pricier than the $39,145 Chevy Volt (which also has a backup gas motor), but BMW has equally high hopes for its premiere EV. It launched a dedicated sales channel for the i3 and future i-branded EVs, and even created a division dedicated to creating mobile apps for such cars. It'll arrive in Europe in November and we'll see it stateside during the second quarter of next year. Check the source or video after the break for more.

Weiner's campaign manager in NY mayoral race quits
NEW YORK (AP) ? Anthony Weiner vowed to stay in the race for New York City mayor Sunday despite the loss of his campaign manager and the drumbeat of critics questioning his fitness for public office.
"We have an amazing staff, but this isn't about the people working on the campaign. It's about the people we're campaigning for," Weiner said after speaking at a Brooklyn church.
Weiner confirmed that campaign manager Danny Kedem resigned Saturday after reports surfaced that Weiner continued to exchange lewd photos and messages with women despite resigning from Congress in 2011 over the same behavior.
Weiner said he would keep talking about "ideas for the middle class and people struggling to make it every single day" and added, "We knew this was going to be a tough campaign."
Kedem had managed the re-election of John DeStefano Jr. to a 10th term as mayor of New Haven in 2011 and worked on Hillary Clinton's failed 2008 presidential campaign.
The 31-year-old Kedem was credited with helping Weiner pull into the lead among the crowded field of Democratic primary candidates before the latest revelations about Weiner's raunchy online exchanges with women.
Rival mayoral candidate Christine Quinn, speaker of the New York City Council, said on NBC's "Meet the Press" that Weiner has shown "a pattern of reckless behavior, an inability to tell the truth and a real lack of maturity and responsibility."
Unlike other candidates who have urged Weiner to end his campaign, Quinn said opponents should not "say who should or shouldn't get in and out of races."
But she questioned whether he is the right person to lead the city.
"Has he disqualified himself? Yes, he's disqualified himself," Quinn said. "But not just because of these scandals, though that certainly has. He didn't have the qualifications when he was in Congress."
Later on the NBC program, former President Barack Obama senior adviser David Axelrod accused Weiner of "wasting time and space." Axelrod, who noted that his former firm is working for another mayoral candidate, said Americans "believe in second chances, but not third chances."
On CNN's "State of the Union," Republican U.S. Rep. Peter King, the target of a blistering 2010 attack from Weiner over a bill to provide free medical services for World Trade Center recovery workers, said Weiner is "not psychologically qualified to be mayor of the city of New York."
Weiner was forced to discuss his online behavior this past week after a gossip website printed excerpts of conversations Weiner had with Indiana college student Sydney Leathers last summer.
With his wife, Huma Abedin, alongside, Weiner apologized and promised that the "behavior is behind me." He later admitted that he traded racy messages with at least three women since leaving office.
He vowed to stay in the race, saying he believed "people care more about their futures than my past with my wife and my embarrassing things."
Quinn led the race before Weiner jumped in but slipped behind him in most polls over the past two months. But a one-day poll conducted after Weiner's latest revelations has Quinn leading Weiner in the race for the Democratic nomination. The mayoral primary is Sept. 10, and the general election is Nov. 5. The primary winner needs to get at least 40 percent of the vote to avoid a runoff with the No. 2 vote-getter.
William Eimicke, a Columbia University professor of public management who has held New York City and New York state government posts, said the defection of his campaign manager could cripple Weiner's campaign.
"I think he's toast!" Eimicke said in an email.
But veteran city political consultant Bob Liff discounted the effect of the resignation.
"I don't know that the campaign manager makes that much of a difference," Liff said. "I wouldn't write anybody out."

How supercomputers solve giant problems
Your gadgets 
36 minutes ago
National University for Defense Technology / Jack Dongarra
China's Tianhe-2 is currently the world's fastest supercomputer, reaching 33.86 petaflops, or 33.86 quadrillion floating-point operations per second.
Today's supercomputers are marvels of computational power, and they are being used to tackle some of the world's biggest scientific problems.
Current models are tens of thousands of times faster than the average desktop computer. They achieve these lightning-fast speeds via parallel processing, in which many computer processors perform computations simultaneously. Supercomputers are used for everything from forecasting weather to modeling the human brain.
What sets supercomputers apart is the size and difficulty of the tasks they can tackle and solve, said Jack Wells, director of science at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee.
[9 Super-Cool Uses for Supercomputers]
"Supercomputers can do supersize problems," Wells said.
Supercomputers are often built from the same components as regular computers, but they're integrated so they can work together, Wells told LiveScience.
The first supercomputers were developed in the 1960s, designed by electrical engineer Seymour Cray of Control Data Corporation (CDC). In 1964, the company released the CDC 6600, often considered to be the world's first supercomputer. Cray later formed his own company, which made the Cray-1 in 1976 and Cray-2 in 1985.
These early supercomputers had only a few processors, but by the 1990s, the United States and Japan were making ones with thousands of processors. Fujitsu's Numerical Wind Tunnel became the fastest supercomputer in 1994 with 166 processors, followed by the Hitachi SR2201, in 1996, with more than 2,000 processors. The Intel Paragon edged into the lead in 1993. As of June 2013, China's Tianhe-2 was the world's fastest supercomputer.
Supercomputer performance is measured in "flops," short for floating-point operations per second. Today's machines can achieve speeds in petaflops ? quadrillions of flops.
The TOP500 is a ranking of the world's 500 most powerful supercomputers. China?s Tianhe-2 achieves 33.86 petaflops, while the Cray Titan reaches 17.59 petaflops, and IBM's Sequoia ranks third at 17.17 petaflops.
Solving supersize problems
Researchers have harnessed the number-crunching power of supercomputers to work on complex problems in fields ranging from astrophysics to neuroscience.
These computational behemoths have been used to answer questions about the creation of the universe during the Big Bang. Researchers at the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) simulated how the first galaxies formed, and scientists at NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View, Calif., simulated the birth of stars. Using computers like IBM's Roadrunner at Los Alamos National Laboratory, physicists have probed the mysteries of dark matter, the mysterious substance that makes up roughly 25 percent of the mass of the universe.
[101 Astronomy Images That Will Blow Your Mind]
Weather forecasting is another area that relies heavily on supercomputing. For example, forecasters used the TACC supercomputer Ranger to determine the path of Hurricane Ike in 2008, improving the five-day hurricane forecast by 15 percent. Climate scientists use supercomputers to model global climate change, a challenging task involving hundreds of variables.
Testing nuclear weapons has been banned in the United States since 1992, but supercomputer simulations ensure that the nation's nukes remain safe and functional. IBM's Sequoia supercomputer at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California is designed to replace testing of nuclear explosions with improved simulations.
Increasingly, neuroscientists have turned their attention to the daunting task of modeling the human brain. The Blue Brain project at the ?cole Polytechnique F?d?rale de Lausanne in Switzerland, led by Henry Markram, aims to create a complete, virtual human brain. The project scientists are using an IBM Blue Gene supercomputer to simulate the molecular structures of real mammalian brains. In 2006, Blue Brain successfully simulated a complete column of neurons in the rat brain.
Sharing the load
The quintessential supercomputer typically consists of large datacenters filled with many machines that are physically linked together. But distributed computing could also be considered a form of supercomputing; it consists of many individual computers connected by a network (such as the Internet) that devote some portion of their processing power to a large problem.
A well-known example is the SETI@home (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence at home) project, in which millions of people run a program on their computers that looks for signs of intelligent life in radio signals. Another is "Folding at home," a project to predict the 3D structure of proteins ? the biological workhorses that perform vital tasks in our bodies ? from the sequence of molecular chains from which they're made.
In the future, supercomputers will edge toward "exascale" capabilities ? about 50 times faster than current systems, Wells said. This will require greater energy, so energy efficiency will likely become an important goal of future systems. Another trend will be integrating large amounts of data for applications like discovering new materials and biotechnologies, Wells said.

Sony Xperia Z And Xperia ZL Get Android 4.3 AOSP As Well
The developers working for Sony Mobile surprised us all when they announced a very much functioning build of Android 4.3 Jelly Bean AOSP (Android Open Source Project) ROM for the Xperia Tablet Z. Well, it's time for the Xperia Z and ZL to receive the same treatment.
Sony Xperia Z Android 4.3 Jelly Bean AOSP ROM - Github
Sony Xperia ZL Android 4.3 Jelly Bean AOSP ROM - Github
Alternatively, you can download the Android 4.3 AOSP ROM for the Xperia Z from the XDA-Developers Forum thread, maintained by developer pulser_g2.
Mind you, to flash the ROM you need to first unlock your phone's bootloader (the method can be found on the Sony Mobile website). Also note that these ROMs are not complete, in the sense that many of the features are broken or are yet to be implemented and hence, Sony Mobile marks these ROMs as "not intended for daily use".

Maryland GOP Considers Open Primary
By: WAMU Staff // July 21, 2013
The chairwoman of the Maryland Republican Party says a panel has been formed to explore the idea of allowing unaffiliated voters to participate in GOP primaries in the state, reports the Associated Press.
Diana Waterman, the state party chairwoman, says Maryland Republicans have strong feelings on both sides of the issue, and she believes the idea should at least be discussed.
At a meeting, the party's executive committee voted 11-11 on the question of exploring the idea, and Waterman cast the deciding vote to have an organized discussion of the possibility.
Waterman says she plans to name a panel with nine members to gather information to report back to the committee.
Waterman also says she doesn't believe any changes should be made without a vote by the state party.

KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) ? ?German coach Winfried Schaefer has been hired to lead Jamaica through its 2014 World Cup qualifying campaign.
Jamaica is last in the six-team CONCACAF group after four straight losses, including a 2-1 defeat to the first-place United States in Kingston last month.
The Jamaica Football Federation says the 63-year-old Schaefer, who replaces 1998 World Cup player Theodore Whitmore, has ''an impressive resume.''
Schaefer coached Cameroon at the 2002 World Cup and won that year's African Cup of Nations.
In the current World Cup qualification, he also coached Thailand, which has been eliminated.
Schaefer's first qualifier with Jamaica is a Sept. 6 trip to Panama. The Caribbean team visits the U.S. on Oct. 11.
Jamaica has a slim chance of finishing fourth, which would earn a playoff against New Zealand.

LEGION BASEBALL: McConnellsburg wins first Franklin County title with 5-3 victory over Fayetteville

SCOTLAND - It's been a long time coming for McConnellsburg Post 561, which won its first-ever Franklin County American Legion baseball title Wednesday night.In a mistake-filled championship game at Greene Township Park, McConnellsburg and Fayetteville combined for seven errors, eight walks and two hit batters, but Post 561 put the pressure on at the right time, got a timely hit from Kyle Schoen and walked away the victors, 5-3.
"This is for all the people of Fulton County, and it feels great," McConnellsburg manager Robert Koontz said. "It seems like we're always on the losing end of it, but now we can bring the trophy home to Fulton County."
With the victory, McConnellsburg (16-6) advances to the Region IV Tournament, where it'll face Red Land (18-8) on Saturday at 11 a.m. at the Brushtown Athletic Field near Hanover.
Heading into the home half of the sixth inning, McConnellsburg led by just one run. Although it didn't really need it, Post 561 got some leeway from a Schoen double.
"Robert told me that he knew I was tired because this was my third day catching in a row, but he wanted me to make solid contact," Schoen said. "I just tried to put something in play. I sat pretty good on a fastball and took it to rightfield."
The ball rolled out just feet away from the centerfield fence to give Zane Baker plenty of time to score a run and set the final score.
"It is indescribable," Schoen said. "It feels like I am on Cloud 9 right now. I'm really proud of my team,

and I just give a huge thanks to coach Koontz and our Legion."Fayetteville got off to nothing short of a rough start. By the end of the first two at bats, Fayetteville had committed a trio of errors, which allowed Baker to score an unearned run. McConnellsburg added to that with an RBI single from Tristan Gelvin to plate Connor Litton.
"I knew the key to this game would be pitching and defense, and certainly the first three innings, we didn't do either," Fayetteville manager Andy Brookens said. "To put yourself in a 2-0 hole after the first inning, the whole game is left, but you don't want to start out the game in that manner."
In the top of the third, Fayetteville cut the deficit in half, but McConnellsburg was right there to answer.
The wheels started to come off for Fayetteville starter Tyghe Bowers when he walked the first three batters of the stanza. Carlin Christian then took over the duties on the mound and gave up a run with a bases-loaded walk to Casey Wade.
Two batters later, Ryan Koontz hit into a fielder's choice, and was credited with an RBI for a run scored by Gelvin.
"It might've been nerves, but the ball just didn't bounce our way," Fayetteville catcher Nick Graham said. "When the first baseman and the runner collided, that allowed a run right away. We came out tight, and it just wasn't our day."
Litton earned a complete game victory for McConnellsburg. He scattered six hits, walked just three and struck out five. Although Litton struggled a bit in the fourth inning, giving up two runs on three walks and no hits, Koontz had a reason for leaving him in the game.
"I believe in that kid a lot; he's a special kid," Koontz said. "Connor keeps amazing me. He battles, and he's a bulldog type of kid who always comes out on the winning end."
Litton said he had trouble because his fastball was tailing to the right rather than the left, but he finally found his zone again to complete the win.
"The ball kept tailing outside, and I couldn't get it in," Litton said. "I just wanted to throw the ball like normal, not really aim it. My teammates had faith in me, so I came out again in the fifth and felt good, so I finished it out."
Although it ended on a low note, Fayetteville exceeded expectations by finishing 16-7 despite not having any college players and only two seniors.
"You always want to play your best in key situations, but we had a good season and we have to build on that," Graham said. "We lose only one guy, so we'll be right back here next year. We're happy with the season, but not happy with the ending."
NOTES: Fayetteville's top hitters were Christian and Graham, who each had two singles ... Baker led the way for McConnellsburg with two hits.

MVNO Ting joins the Windows Phone crowd with launch of HTC 8XT
Sprint just recently announced that it will be offering the HTC 8XT on July 19th, but it turns out it's not the only option for those interested the phone. Upstart Ting has just announced that it is now taking pre-orders for the device, making it the first Windows Phone device available on the MVNO. Not many surprises beyond that, as you might expect -- the device is available off-contract per usual (running $373), and the phone itself is the same as you'll find on Sprint, including a 4.3-inch WVGA display, 1.4GHz dual-core Snapdragon 400 CPU, 8 megapixel camera and HTC's trademark "BoomSound." Those looking for a different take on Windows Phone can also look for an unspecified Samsung ATIV device to be available on Ting sometime soon.

Why you should prepare for the domain expansion plan | VentureBeat
Internet entrepreneurs may have their pick of millions of new domains by summer?s end.
That?s because the Internet will soon include dozens ? or even hundreds ? of new top-level domains, the ?extensions? that appear at the end of a domain name, like .com or .edu.
For new businesses, the expansion offers a spate of exciting new possibilities to choose from, including ?.music? or ?.store.? Hundreds of top-level domains may also be available in a variety of languages, including Chinese and Arabic, as well as brand names like ?.apple.?
The plan has received a green light from Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers?(ICANN), the nonprofit organization that regulates and manages domains. ICANN has received over a thousand proposals for new top-level domains. The organization?approved the first four new top-level domains Sunday at an?international conference for industry officials in Durban, South Africa.
But security experts say the plan has unforeseen ? and potentially disastrous ? consequences for consumers and brands. ?VentureBeat has called on some experts to find out what you need to know.
Consumers: Approach with caution
We cannot stress this enough: Do you not hand over your credit card information just because the website has a legitimate-looking domain name, like http://www.mac.apple or http://www.harvard.law.
These new domains will be open for the taking ? and for possible hijacking. Cyber-squatters may be looking to exploit a company?s brand or trademark. As David Mitnick, the founder of Domain Skate,?put it in a recent article, ?Cyber-squatters do a lot more than just confuse Internet users and hold your brand name hostage ? they can send malware and dupe loyal customers into divulging personal information.?
Unsuspecting consumers will be hit with a new slew of websites with brands or trademarks they recognize and trust, whether it?s a ?.ibm? or a ?.law.? But these sites might be orchestrated by criminals attempting to capture data or payment information.
?These new domain names will make it easier for scammers and provide many more avenues to get payment information,? said Pieter Gunst, an Internet policy expert and lawyer.
It?s not just consumers who will pay the price.
?Online payment businesses will pay a high cost for fraud,? said Gunst, who is also the founder of LawGives, a startup that provides online legal services.
For this reason, payments giant PayPal has sharply rebuked ICANN for the expansion ? and issued a stern warning to consumers. After all, increased incidences of fraud would drive up the cost of payment processing.
PayPal?s Information Risk Management officials Brad Hill and Bill Smith wrote a letter to ICANN in March: ?The potential for malicious abuse is extraordinary, the incidental damage will be large even in the absence of malicious intent, and such services will become immediate targets of attack as they inadvertently collect high-value credentials and private data from potentially millions of systems.?
With ICANN downplaying these fears, Gunst recommends some best practices and steps that consumers can take to protect themselves:
- Review the terms of use to see which organization is operating the service. Illegitimate sites are unlikely to have a terms of use, which is your first sign. Although be wary, as skilled criminals will create realistic-looking terms of use, which are simple enough to replicate.
- The ?s? matters.?Always use HTTPS when you browse websites. The encryption within HTTPS is intended to provide benefits like confidentiality, integrity, and identity.
- Do your research. Before handing out credit card information, perform at least a cursory check ? on consumer review sites, not the site in question ? to see if other consumers have complained about that site or service.
On a more positive note, Gunst believes that we are more aware of threats to security than we used to be. The domain expansion may be another ?tool in the toolbox? of cyber-criminals, he said, but consumers can take effective measures against phishing.
Brands: Get prepared
The first step is to register a top-level domain (gTLD) now ? and potentially avoid expensive lawsuits later. Some brands are setting aside thousands of dollars to win control of new domains.?Amazon is already in hot water for its ongoing attempts to register .read, .author, and, of course, .book.
Companies should also make sure their network engineers and IT teams are aware of the security risks and have protocols in place.
Rumors have been spreading for months that hackers will have an easier time overriding encryption protections that safeguard corporate email servers and company intranets. Ars Technica fears that the introduction of domains such as ?.domain,? ?.localhost,? or ?.belkin? could cause significant disruption for a number of networks.
If that were not enough, the Washington Post reports that if domains like ?.med? come under attack, this could potentially slow down emergency responders or put lives at risk.
Finally,??Merchants need to be very active in informing their customers if they expand to any of these new domains,? Kate Scisel, an online payments expert and the COO of People+, told us. ?And consumers must be vigilant when receiving solicitations or connecting with domains they are not familiar with,?
Early-stage startups: Don?t sweat it
All these new domains pose new opportunities for startups, and like major brands, many are beginning the preregistration process.
But Altay Guvenich, who runs a talent management agency for startup developers, is advising tech entrepreneurs to focus their energies elsewhere. Do not spend weeks contemplating a new domain.
?Founders should keep things simple. Do what you need to defend your brand, but don?t spend too many cycles on it,? Guvenich told me. ?Your product or service will make or break your company. Not your domain name.?
After all, what?s in a name? Facebook was thefacebook.com for years; Dropbox was getdropbox.com.
ICANN: ?It?s not like it?s a runaway train?
Jeff Moss, the chief security officer for ICANN, told the Washington Post that fears have been overblown. He argues that the expansion will occur gradually ? and the organization will be in a position to deal with issues as they arise.
?It?s not like it?s a runaway train without recourse,? Moss said. ?We?re not going to do anything that harms the security or stability of the Internet.?
ICANN has also stressed that only a small number of domains are likely to cause problems.
Note that ICANN stands to profit from the virgin Internet real estate ? whoever gains control will sell licensing rights for the resulting new web addresses, with a portion of the revenues going to ICANN.
Security issues aside, Gunst believes that the ?opening up? of the Internet is a good thing and in the long-run will help new Internet businesses succeed.
What are your thoughts on the domain name expansion plan? Let us know in the comment section below.

Gallup agrees to pay $10.5M to settle allegations
WASHINGTON (AP) ? The Justice Department said Monday the Gallup Organization has agreed to pay $10.5 million to settle allegations that the polling and market research firm improperly inflated prices for proposed contracts with the U.S. Mint and State Department.
The settlement also resolves allegations that Gallup engaged in improper employment negotiations with an official from the Federal Emergency Management Agency in order to obtain a FEMA subcontract at an inflated price.
In January, the former FEMA official, Timothy W. Cannon, pleaded guilty to negotiating a job for himself at the Gallup Organization while supervising the firm's FEMA contract.
Cannon's conduct came to light in a lawsuit a fired Gallup employee brought alleging that Gallup filed false claims on contracts with the U.S. Mint, the State Department, FEMA and the Office of Personnel Management.
In a statement, Gallup said that by ending this civil action with no admission of wrongdoing, Gallup can avoid further distraction and focus on serving its customers. The company said it continues its dedication to the highest standard of ethics in business.

a new opinion in Audio / HiFis about Apple iPod Nano (4G) 8 GB
Product Type: Apple MP3 players
Newest Review:?... it breaks down on me or eventually dies. This ipod has had a rough life and I'm still satisfied. Two years ago I accidentally put ... more
I've had this iPod for a couple years now and it still works perfectly fine. I am amazed at how last it longs. Normally when I buy something technical, it breaks down on me or eventually dies. This ipod has had a rough life and I'm still satisfied. Two years ago I accidentally put it through the washer and dryer. Amazingly the only thing it did to the iPod was make the screen light stop turning on. Its hard to see the screen now and I have to use good lighting in order to be able to see what I'm doing, but the music still plays and the battery life is still long. Honestly, I don't care too much for the brightness of the screen. Just the fact that this iPod still works and is still playing my favorite tunes is good enough for me. Don't try to wash and dry it but expect it to last a while and to be almost indestructible! I won't be getting an new iPod for a long time, that's for sure.
Summary: Very satisfied

World stocks rise, brush off slower China growth

BANGKOK (AP) ? Global stock markets posted modest gains Monday, registering relief that a slowdown in China's economic growth wasn't as sharp as feared.
The world's second-largest economy grew 7.5 percent from a year earlier in the second quarter, slowing from the previous quarter's 7.7 percent, as weak trade and a clampdown on lending took their toll.
It was the second consecutive quarter of slower growth but still strong enough to suggest China can meet Beijing's 7.5 percent target for this year.
A clampdown on risky lending at state banks had contributed to jitters that China's growth might fall below 7 percent. That would hurt companies around the world that have become increasingly reliant on breakneck Chinese growth to boost earnings.
Nomura analysts Zhiwei Zhang and Wendy Chen said they were maintaining their 2013 growth forecast for China at 7.5 percent but trimmed their 2014 forecast to 6.9 percent from 7.5 percent.
"The government has made it clear to the public that it is less concerned about the growth rate and more about the quality and sustainability of growth," they said in a report.
To avoid a sharper slowdown, China's central bank is likely to lower the proportion of deposits that banks must keep in reserve by a total of 1.5 percentage points by the middle of next year, the Nomura analysts said.
In early European trading, France's CAC 40 was up 0.8 percent at 3,886.98 and Germany's DAX rose 0.6 percent to 8,261.49. Britain's FTSE 100 climbed 0.7 percent to 6,509.91. Wall Street was set for moderate gains with Dow and S&P 500 futures both up 0.2 percent.
Among Asian markets, Hong Kong's Hang Seng added 0.1 percent to 21,303.31 and Sydney's S&P/ASX 200 gained 0.1 percent to 4,981.10. South Korea's Kospi rose 0.3 percent 1,875.16.
Mainland China's Shanghai Composite Index advanced 1 percent to 2,059.39. Japan's financial markets were closed for a public holiday.
Elsewhere, benchmarks in Singapore, India, Taiwan and New Zealand rose while Indonesia fell.
The gains in Asia and Europe also came after Wall Street eked out new highs.
After spending most of Friday flat or down, U.S. stocks rallied at the last minute and closed slightly higher, just enough to post record highs for the Dow Jones industrial average and the Standard & Poor's 500.
In energy trading, benchmark crude for August delivery was down 33 cents at $105.62 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract gained $1.04 to $105.95 in New York on Friday, driven higher by continuing tensions in Egypt and a sharp drop in U.S. crude stockpiles.
The euro fell to $1.3030 from $1.3066 late Friday. The dollar rose to 99.85 yen from 99.14 yen.

Apple allegedly working with Samsung again on chips for 2015 devices
Samsung has been exclusively making chips for Apple's iOS devices since the first iPhone started shipping in 2007 -- we don't need to tell you that makes for an odd relationship. Several months ago, The Wall Street Journal reported that Apple would switch to TSMC for next year's iOS portfolio, but now there's some strange news coming out of Korea. According to a local publication, Apple's 2015 iOS devices will use Samsung's 14 nanometer FinFET technology, starting with the iPhone 7 (not the 6S?). Why would Apple switch to TSMC for just one year and then go back to Samsung? Is Apple planning to rely on both TSMC and Samsung for different product lines? Unfortunately, we'll have to wait until Chipworks breaks out its microscopes to find out what's really going on.
