San Jose Mercury News – Couples who work together and make it work

Maitjian and Todd Welke, of Saratoga, are a devoted married couple going hand-in-hand through life and face-to-face at work. “Quite literally,” Maitjian says, laughing. “We work in the same office and our desks face each other. So it’s pretty important that we get along.”

And they couldn’t be happier, enamored with each other and with the entrepreneurial lifestyle.

I look at going into business as just another one of those things that you can work through together.”

Why you should Install Anti spam Software

The computer network has become the mainstay of a workplace, whether it is an office, small business or a large corporate. It stores all kinds of data, confidential and general. It lends itself to various activities. It is integrated between different departments. People share information on it and use information stored in it. There is a lot of software stored on the mainframe that can be used by everyone in the network. Businesses are run via the computer system. If this system shuts down, it is akin to the company closing down till it is fixed again. If it crashes, millions of dollars will be wasted while the system is put back on track again.

What could cause a system to shut down or a crash?
The most common cause for a system shut down is when the system perceives a threat.

10 Tips, Tricks, and Add-Ons To Supercharge Your Use of Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader

The PDF, or portable document format, represents the gold standard in document sharing. PDFs come packaged with all text, fonts, and images embedded in the file, which allows them to be displayed independent of applications, operating systems, or hardware. They’re highly compressed files, which makes emailing, downloading, and printing them quick and easy. And their open standard platform means that anyone can develop, use, sell, and distribute PDF software and implementations.

But that simplified nature doesn’t mean that working with PDFs is easy. Hundreds of different readers and editors exist, all with varying degrees of usability.

Forgot about HIPAA Compliance? Recent $4.8 Million Fine Should Serve as a Stark Reminder

On May 7th, the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office for Civil Rights rocked the health-care world by handing down $4.8 million in fines to New York and Presbyterian Hospital (NYP) and Columbia University (CU) due to a breach of HIPAA regulations dating back to 2010. This represents the largest HIPAA-related settlement to date — and it resulted from the improper disclosure of electronic protected health information (ePHI) for just 6,800 individuals. That’s nearly $706 per exposed record!

How did the breach happen? Through preventable human error, which still represents the biggest threat to health care practice security. A physician and application developer employed by Columbia tried to deactivate a personal computer server on the network containing NYP patient ePHI, allowing the protected information to become accessible on public search engines.
