House Says Military Can Keep NASCAR Sponsorships


House Says Military Can Keep NASCAR Sponsorships



It was another NASCAR race to the finish, but it wasn't at the track. It was on Capitol Hill, where in these economically tough times some members of Congress didn't think it was a smart idea for the military to be spending millions on professional sports sponsorships as a recruiting tool.
The focal point of the debate was the $26.5 million the National Guard will spend this year to sponsor Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s car. The Guard argued it was money well-spent given how Earnhardt's popularity gets it more value and exposure for its brand beyond what it is paying for the contract.
Late Thursday night, in a close 216 to 202 vote, the House of Representatives struck down a bipartisan amendment that would have cut $72 million from next year's $608 billion defense spending bill slated for professional sports sponsorships used to help with military recruiting. The military services sponsor a wide range of professional sports, including bass fishing tournaments and the Ultimate Fighting Championship, but it was the National Guard's sponsorship of Earnhardt's car that drew all the attention.

Collector Car Appreciation Day Celebrates the Common Threads of Our Automotive Family

A rich fabric has been woven into our experience as Americans by the automotive hobby and the traditions that guide it. Although the variety of shapes, styles and ages of our prized collector cars is incredibly diverse, sharing our affinity for unique vehicles can create or even strengthen a common lifelong bond between family and friends. On July 13, honoring this time-tested passion among our enthusiast family, is the greatest gift surrounding our hobby’s day of recognition: Collector Car Appreciation Day. For the third year in a row, the second Friday in July will again demonstrate this united spirit. Earlier this year, the U.S. Senate passed Senate Resolution 452 at SEMA’s request. New Mexico, Hawaii, New York and West Virginia have also issued proclamations recognizing the occasion, while several other states and territories are pursuing similar initiatives. There is still time to get involved. Individuals, car clubs and business owners have been registering their gatherings for inclusion on the SEMA Action Network (SAN) website. However you choose, please pay tribute to our hobby’s special day by holding or attending a celebration near you. Encourage others to follow suit. Let’s get those cars and trucks out of the garage and onto the road! READ MORE PowerandPlay.com Staff

Effort to Exempt Pre-1981 Vehicles From California’s Emissions Inspection Requirement Dropped for the Year

Legislation (S.B. 1224) to exempt all motor vehicles prior to the ’81 model year from the emissions inspection requirement will not be reconsidered by the Senate Transportation and Housing Committee after failing its initial vote. According to bill sponsor Senator Doug LaMalfa, “Although the bill was granted reconsideration, the opponents contend the exemption is intended as a means of ignoring the effects of pollution caused by older, high-emissions vehicles rather than a legitimate benefit for classic car collectors whose vehicles are rarely driven. My efforts to convince my colleagues of the merits of the bill have been unsuccessful and, therefore, the bill has been dropped for this year and, of course, I am very disappointed.” Read more Staff: Powerandplay.com

Shiny-Toy Syndrome - Employee-Owned Phones Can Be a Not-So-Cool Security Risk


SEMA News—May 2012

INTERNET
By Joe Dysart

Shiny-Toy Syndrome

Employee-Owned Phones Can Be a Not-So-Cool Security Risk
 Aftermarket Research, Automotive Industry Research, Automotive Technology 
  
While tech-giddy employees are prone to fawn over every new iThing smuggled into the workplace—devices that are often used in violation of company policy—IT security pros see something very different: a security breach waiting to happen. The hard fact is that many of those unauthorized devices can slash gaping holes in company security systems in a nanosecond, exposing company data and applications to hackers. Indeed, even some authorized devices keep security IT up at night, since their current software solution may not be designed to handle some of the brand-new phones and tablets.
“‘Bring your own device’ can be a double-edged sword for enterprise IT departments,” said Zeus Kerravala, principal at ZK Research. “On one hand, there are great productivity gains to be had by enabling workers to use their own devices on the business network. On the other, provisioning, securing and managing those devices is a nightmare for IT.”
The reason? Company security IT personnel are able to safeguard the company network only when they know ahead of time what kind of smartphones and tablets will be logging into the system. Add a new smartphone on the sly—with a foreign operating system and apps that may be riddled with viruses—and all of security’s carefully coded defenses can be shredded in an instant.
Even worse, the security tsunami created by unanticipated gadgets is expected to grow more ferocious in the coming year, tech experts said. About 48% of smartphones at the workplace these days are chosen by employees rather than IT departments, according to a December 2011 study released by market research firm Forrester. And rarely do employees even consult with IT to determine if the company’s computer pros can secure those phones.
