3. News: Oracle Makes 'Final' PeopleSoft Offer
After much speculation that it would raise its bid yet

4. Opinion: Yoran and Spaf's Law
Spaf's first principle of security administration is, "If
you have responsibility for security but have no authority
to set rules or punish violators, your own role in the
organization is to take the blame when something big goes
wrong." The best example of this is the recent resignation
of Amit Yoran from his position as director of the National
Cyber Security Division of the Department of Homeland
Security. Without the means to do the job, winning the
security war is a nearly impossible fight.
