Rosso [email protected] Department of Computer Information Systems School of Business North Carolina Central University USA ABSTRACT The proliferation and embeddedness of Information Technology (IT) resources into many organizations’ business processes continues unabated. The security of these IT resources is essential to operational and strategic business continuity. However, as the large number of recent security breaches at various organizations illustrate, there is more that needs to be done in securing IT resources. Firms, through organizational structures, usually delegate the management and control of IT security activities and policies to the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO).

  • Chapter One: Postwar Resentment and the Invention of Middle America 10
    MIAMI UNIVERSITY The Graduate School Certificate for Approving the Dissertation We hereby approve the Dissertation of Jeffrey Christopher Bickerstaff Doctor of Philosophy ________________________________________ Timothy Melley, Director ________________________________________ C. Barry Chabot, Reader ________________________________________ Whitney Womack Smith, Reader ________________________________________ Marguerite S. Shaffer, Graduate School Representative ABSTRACT TALES FROM THE SILENT MAJORITY: CONSERVATIVE POPULISM AND THE INVENTION OF MIDDLE AMERICA by Jeffrey Christopher Bickerstaff In this dissertation I show how the conservative movement lured the white working class out of the Democratic New Deal Coalition and into the Republican Majority. I argue that this political transformation was accomplished in part by what I call the "invention" of Middle America. Using such cultural representations as mainstream print media, literature, and film, conservatives successfully exploited what came to be known as the Social Issue and constructed "Liberalism" as effeminate, impractical, and elitist. Chapter One charts the rise of conservative populism and Middle America against the backdrop of 1960s social upheaval. I stress the importance of backlash and resentment to Richard Nixon's ascendancy to the Presidency, describe strategies employed by the conservative movement to win majority status for the GOP, and explore the conflict between this goal and the will to ideological purity. In Chapter Two I read Rabbit Redux as John Updike's attempt to model the racial education of a conservative Middle American, Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom, in "teach-in" scenes that reflect the conflict between the social conservative and Eastern Liberal within the author's psyche. I conclude that this conflict undermines the project and, despite laudable intentions, Updike perpetuates caricatures of the Left and hastens Middle America's rejection of Liberalism.

  • What's on the Minds of Persuadable Voters in Michigan and Minnesota?
    What’s on the Minds of Persuadable Voters in Michigan and Minnesota? Both Michigan and Minnesota are must-win states for the Democratic nominee in the upcoming 2020 presidential election. Michigan played a pivotal role in Donald Trump’s 2016 victory – the state voted for a Republican president for the first time since 1988, shattering the so-called “Blue Wall.” While Minnesota has been a more consistently blue state (at least in presidential races), Trump lost by a razor-thin margin of just 1.52 percent in a contest where Hillary Clinton did not win a majority of votes. To better understand how voters are processing the current political moment in these key states, Working America deployed its professional canvassers to working-class communities to better understand their views on hot button issues and how they judge the president’s first term in office. The findings in our latest Front Porch Focus Group report revealed that while there are divisions between urban and rural areas, voters in these states are more often than not aligned in their support for a strong progressive agenda, creating an opening for Democrats. Working America canvassers spoke with 280 persuadable and Democratic-leaning infrequent voters in Michigan (Macomb, Monroe, and Wayne counties) and 150 persuadable voters in the suburban Twin Cities area in Minnesota from December 17, 2019 through January 17, 2020. We augmented these interviews with an additional 566 online responses from the Minnesota suburbs and exurbs. To identify persuadable voters, Working America’s unique targeting model combines analysis of dozens of our randomized clinical canvass trials conducted during elections over the last decade.

  • Faith and Fortune
    FAITH AND FORTUNE By ANTHONY BIANCO - Businessweek jan 20 1997 Paul Reichmann: Talented, pious, driven--but not infallible Few businessmen have ever single-handedly wielded so much power to as calamitous effect as did Paul Reichmann, the mastermind of Olympia & York Developments Ltd. Founded by Paul and two of his brothers in Toronto in the late 1950s, Olympia & York at its peak had amassed $25 billion in assets, including 40 office towers and controlling stock holdings in Abitibi-Price Inc., Gulf Canada, and a half-dozen other major industrial corporations. Yet no one but a Reichmann ever owned stock or sat on O&Y's board. Through his unrelenting drive and outsize talent, Paul, the fifth of six siblings, came to dominate completely this most private of corporate empires. Reichmann's forte as a property developer was the contrarian masterstroke, whether it was erecting a 72-story tower in downtown Toronto when many considered the city already overbuilt or constructing the most distinguished addition to the New York City skyline in half a century--the World Financial Center--on a sandbar in the Hudson River. Paul was widely lauded as a commercial genius, ''an Einstein in a field that doesn't usually produce Einsteins,'' as one longtime colleague put it. Rarely has extreme commercial ambition come as decorously packaged as in the person of Paul Reichmann. Born in Vienna in 1930, he had resided in Paris, Antwerp, London, Tangier, Casablanca, and Jerusalem before his 24th birthday. With his shy smile, soft-spoken politesse, and elegantly funereal attire, the peripatetic Reichmann was a capitalist daredevil in the genteel guise of an undertaker.

  • Q2-Grant-KOIN Center-4-21-10-Wm
    Grant • KOIN Center History KOIN Center History: The Paul Principle Eugene L. Grant, Attorney, Shareholder, Davis Wright Tremaine One of the largest commercial real estate transactions in Portland history was completed at the end of Dec- ember 2009 when American Pacific International Capital purchased the office portion of KOIN Center. The KOIN Center is Portland’s ninth largest office building with 415,425 square feet and its largest mixed-use project in a single building. While terms of the deal have not been revealed, the Oregonian reported that the sale price was between $50 and $60 million1. This is approximately half of the $109 million that the California Public Employees Pension System (CalPERS) paid for the same property in 2007, and less than the $70 million loan which encumbered it. After CalPERS defaulted on the loan, the mortgage holder, New York Life Insurance Inc. sued to take control of the building and completed the transaction with APIC. Calpers and CommonWealth Partners LLC were joint owners of the office portion of the building and decided to submit a deed in lieu of foreclosure after Ater Wynne LLP vacated 50,000 square feet in the building, relocating to the Lovejoy Building, a mixed-use complex in the Pearl District that also houses a new Safeway and rental apartments. The story of the KOIN Center’s development and transitions, with its colorful cast of characters, makes instructive reading for students of Portland’s urban development history. The author’s involvement with KOIN Center began shortly after starting work for the Souther Spalding law firm in 1979 as an associate of real estate partner Douglas J.
