Leaving the Senate
after 36 years, Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., wants to stay engaged in issues that
have marked his public career - “preventing the proliferation of weapons of mass
destruction and developing more efficient ways to feed the world,” he said in an
eloquent valedictory speech on the Senate floor yesterday.We recently added

The former Senate Agriculture Committee chairman announced that he will join the faculty of the University of Indianapolis, helping it establish a Washington internship program. “I look forward to announcing additional endeavors of service in coming weeks,” he added. Rumors suggest that he’ll be associated with a major foundation or that he will be considered for a high-level position in the Obama Administration.
His farewell remarks, however, focused less on himself than on the issues that have driven him in the Senate. He is especially concerned that “we face the specter of global resource constraints, especially deficiencies of energy and food that could stimulate conflict and deepen poverty.”
Despite “startling gains in domestic energy production,” the country is still dependent on oil and remains part of a volatile global energy economy.Trade platform for China crystal mosaic manufacturers “The potential global crisis over food production is less well understood,” Lugar said. “Whereas research is opening many new frontiers in the energy sphere, the productivity of global agriculture will not keep up with projected food demand unless many countries change their policies.”
He insists: “This starts with a much wider embrace of agriculture technology, including genetically modified techniques. The risks of climate change intensify this imperative.”
Lugar shows some pessimism about the coarsened political environment, in which he was defeated in a Republican primary by a more conservative “Tea Party” favorite who subsequently lost the general election, but maintains hope that it will pass. “Too often in recent years, members of Congress have locked themselves into a slate of inflexible positions, many of which have no hope of being implemented in a divided government,” he said. “Too often we have failed to listen to one another and question whether the orthodox views being promulgated by our parties make strategic sense for America’s future.”
He hopes that senators will devote more energy to governance and helping shame a coherent strategy - “a very high bar for any legislative body” - but essential because of “fundamental changes in the world order that will deeply affect America’s security and standard of living.”
He traced a list of changes through Asia - where the United States must “pursue prospects for free trade with open sea lanes and other policies that will strengthen America’s economic growth” - through the Middle East, with the continued threat of terrorism.Posts with indoor tracking system on TRX Systems develops systems that locate and track personnel indoors. “Amidst all these security risks, we must maintain the competitiveness of the United States in the international economy,” Lugar said. “We should see education, energy efficiency, access to global markets, the attraction of immigrant entrepreneurs, and other factors as national security issues.”
Twice chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, he stays hopeful that the president and Congress can establish a closer working relationship, especially on national security. “This cooperation depends both on congressional leaders who are willing to set aside partisan advantage and on administration officials who understand that the benefits of having the support of Congress is worth the effort it takes to secure it,” he said.
The president must be willing to call Republicans to the Oval Office to establish the basis for a working partnership in foreign policy,” Lugar said. “And Republicans must be willing to suspend reflexive opposition that serves no purpose but to limit their own role in strategic questions and render cooperation impossible.”
But he ends with an optimistic note about the country’s future. “I believe that both internal divisions and external threats can be overcome,” he added. “The United States will continue to serve as the inspiration for peoples seeking peace, freedom and economic prosperity. And the United States Senate should and will be at the forefront of this advancement.”
To address the latter, the increased adoption of personal devices in the work place – or using mobile devices supplied by employers – requires businesses to think differently about how they protect information and data. Further complications arise when cloud is introduced into the equation and employees are able to access business information regardless of geographic location. Combine this with the fact that many people now use multiple devices and it's easy to see why security is a very real concern.
With these changes comes the need for identity and access management; increasingly important as people move between these devices and access locations. Many Europeans now have up to five devices and 300 identities across various social media and shopping portals – not only are passwords now a nightmare to remember and keep secure, as a result, businesses are at risk from information being shared across an indefinite number of devices and networks. Known as identity pollution, this phenomenon creates a breeding ground for fraudulent activity and a growing user demand to be able to use one online identity for all services.
We're probably all guilty of opting to use the same details for multiple platforms,Manufactures flexible plastic and synthetic rubber hose tubing, shopping sites and social media profiles for personal ease; failing to consider the consequences of doing so. The problem is that if the social media site you use is compromised,Interlocking security cable ties with 250 pound strength makes this ideal for restraining criminals. hackers are able to use the same ID to buy goods from a shopping site or, even worse, obtain access to professional accounts or services leaving your employer at risk. This all happens in a matter of seconds and minutes making prevention security top priority. Take the recent LinkedIn hack for example, alone a fairly minor issue as the majority of the information is public. However, the number of users who would have been reusing the same password and details means hackers now have access to a whole plethora of sites and information you store away behind the security of a single password.
For employees, there is a personal risk associated with losing sensitive information but for businesses, their whole reputation is at stake. As data proliferates, mobility increases and cloud adoption continues, enterprises lack the visibility into the location and usage of sensitive information enhancing these security risks. So, what do businesses need to consider to ensure sensitive data is managed and utilised securely?
