New BlackBerry Work Space service separates work, personal data on iOS and Android

There?s apparently a new slogan at BlackBerry (BBRY): If you can?t beat ?em, integrate ?em. BlackBerry on Thursday announced Work Space, a new feature for its BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 mobile device management platform that aims to ?provide complete separation between work and personal data.? If this sounds familiar, that?s because BlackBerry has already brought this capability to its own devices with its own BlackBerry Balance feature?? the difference is that Work Space is extending some of Balance?s capabilities to iOS and Android devices. Expanding the reach of its security services to multiple platforms is crucial for BlackBerry, especially as it faces added heat from Samsung (005930), which plans to aggressively market its devices to the enterprise as business tools. BlackBerry?s full press release is posted below.

BlackBerry Previews Secure Work Space Technology for Third Party Platforms

Extending BlackBerry?s trusted, gold standard security to separate work and personal data on iOS and Android smartphones and tablets

Mar 14, 2013

Waterloo, ON?? BlackBerry? (NASDAQ: BBRY; TSX: BB) today confirmed its commitment to bringing a solution that will separate and secure work and personal data on mobile devices to third party platforms. Secure Work Space for iOS? and Android? will be managed through BlackBerry? Enterprise Service 10, BlackBerry?s multi-platform enterprise mobility management solution which builds upon more than a decade of enterprise and security expertise and is the most widely deployed mobility solution in enterprises today.

An update for?BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10?will soon extend BlackBerry security capabilities for data-at-rest and data-in-transit and provide complete separation between work and personal data. The BlackBerry Secure Work Space solution includes secured client applications for email, calendar, contacts, tasks, memos, secure browsing and document editing for each device that is provisioned via BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10.

?With BlackBerry? Balance? technology, we offer the industry?s only true compromise-free separation of work and personal data and applications,? said David J Smith, EVP, Enterprise Mobile Computing. ?With Secure Work Space for iOS and Android devices, we?re extending as many of these features as possible to other platforms, critical in today?s?Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)?world. BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 offers administrators a single, intuitive platform enabling them to effectively and securely manage a variety of devices while protecting their corporate assets and at the same time providing employees the flexibility they desire.?

The Secure Work Space solution enables customers to save considerable effort and expense as they no longer need to configure and manage expensive VPN infrastructures to provide mobile device access to data and applications that reside behind their corporate firewalls. With end-to-end enterprise mobility management, a straightforward deployment process, and a global and flexible technical support model, BlackBerry offers a secure and reliable solution as the clear choice for enterprises and governments to support BYOD policies for iOS and Android platforms. Additional applications can easily be secured and added to the workspace, without the need to modify source code.

?The vast majority of?smartphones?on the market aren?t adequately secure for corporate or government work,? said Robert Enderle, Principal Analyst, Enderle Group. ?Currently BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 combined with BlackBerry Balance or Secure Work Space has the only volume solution which has been designed from the ground up to provide the security most IT departments require.?? With this announcement BlackBerry is expanding beyond their own top to bottom approach to security to address this need on other platforms.??With this product BlackBerry is showcasing their security legacy by providing a stronger cross platform security solution than anyone else can in the market.?

Closed beta testing for Secure Work Space has already started and general availability will be offered by the end of the second quarter, calendar year 2013. More details will be announced at the BlackBerry Live conference in May, 2013 in Orlando, Florida.

Steubenville prosecutor: Girl was ?too impaired to say no?

The trial of two high school football players charged with raping a young woman during a night of partying has begun, and it's causing a rift in a town where football is a great source of pride. NBC's Ron Allen reports.

By Erin McClam, Staff Writer, NBC News

The two Ohio high school football stars accused of raping a drunken 16-year-old girl humiliated ?somebody who was too impaired to say no, somebody who was too impaired to say stop,? a prosecutor said Wednesday.

In her opening statement at a trial that has divided the football-obsessed town of Steubenville, prosecutor Marianne Hemmeter also said that the girl was ?soft-spoken, mumbling and not participating? in the assault.

Two players, quarterback Trent Mays and wide receiver Ma?Lik Richmond, are accused of using their hands to violate the girl in a car and in a basement during a night of victory parties last August.

The case became national news because graphic cellphone photos and video, including a YouTube posting of a partygoer cracking crude jokes about the alleged rape, spread on social media.

In a brief opening statement, Brian Duncan, the lawyer representing Mays, said simply: ?Trent Mays did not rape the young lady in question.? The lawyer for Richmond declined to make an opening statement.

Harding Stadium, home of the Steubenville High Big Red football team. Two members are going on trial Wednesday for allegedly raping a 16-year-old girl in a case that drew national attention.

The girl, who told police she didn?t remember the incident, will be among dozens of witnesses taking the stand. Three players who have not been charged but allegedly witnessed the encounters are expected to testify for the prosecution.

The prosecution?s evidence also includes a photograph posted on Instagram of Mays, 17, and Richmond, 16, carrying the teen out of a house by her arms and legs.

The prosecution called six witnesses on Wednesday, including two 17-year-old girls who knew the alleged victim.

Questioned by prosecution and defense attorneys about how much the teen girl had to drink, the first witnesses testified they saw the alleged victim on the night of Aug. 11.

One of the girls, a Steubenville High student, said alleged victim was having difficulty walking but never appeared to pass out. She also testified that after midnight, Mays and the victim, who said she was OK, left a house party. That came despite efforts by the witness to stop her.

Prosecutors appeared to try to show how drunk and nonparticipatory the alleged victim was, while the defense attempted to show that she was making decisions that night and at one point told friends she was fine and able to take care of herself.

The other 17-year-old witness said she had never seen her friend so intoxicated.

The final witnesses of the day were the Steubenville police detectives involved in confiscating phones and other devices from people involved in the case and getting them to the state lab for analysis. The defense on cross examination was able to get police to concede it took 16 days before the accusers shirt and pants were taken to the lab for analysis.

The trial has put the town, where ?Big Red football? dominates life, under a harsh spotlight. Town officials and business leaders have taken to the media to say that the case doesn?t reflect Steubenville.

In a sign of the tension surrounding the case, Richmond?s grandmother has said she has been threatened.

If convicted, Mays and Richmond could be held in a juvenile jail until they are 21.

Neuron loss in schizophrenia and depression could be prevented, study suggests

Mar. 13, 2013 ? Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) deficits have been implicated in schizophrenia and depression. In schizophrenia, deficits have been particularly well-described for a subtype of GABA neuron, the parvalbumin fast-spiking interneurons. The activity of these neurons is critical for proper cognitive and emotional functioning.

It now appears that parvalbumin neurons are particularly vulnerable to oxidative stress, a factor that may emerge commonly in development, particularly in the context of psychiatric disorders like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, where compromised mitochondrial function plays a role. Parvalbumin neurons may be protected from this effect by N-acetylcysteine, also known as Mucomyst, a medication commonly prescribed to protect the liver against the toxic effects of acetaminophen (Tylenol) overdose, reports a new study in the current issue of Biological Psychiatry.

Dr. Kim Do and collaborators, from the Center for Psychiatric Neurosciences of Lausanne University in Switzerland, have worked many years on the hypothesis that one of the causes of schizophrenia is related to vulnerability genes/factors leading to oxidative stress. These oxidative stresses can be due to infections, inflammations, traumas or psychosocial stress occurring during typical brain development, meaning that at-risk subjects are particularly exposed during childhood and adolescence, but not once they reach adulthood.

Their study was performed with mice deficient in glutathione, a molecule essential for cellular protection against oxidations, leaving their neurons more exposed to the deleterious effects of oxidative stress. Under those conditions, they found that the parvalbumin neurons were impaired in the brains of mice that were stressed when they were young. These impairments persisted through their life. Interestingly, the same stresses applied to adults had no effect on their parvalbumin neurons.

Most strikingly, mice treated with the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine, from before birth and onwards, were fully protected against these negative consequences on parvalbumin neurons.

"These data highlight the need to develop novel therapeutic approaches based on antioxidant compounds such as N-acetylcysteine, which could be used preventively in young at-risk subjects," said Do. "To give an antioxidant from childhood on to carriers of a genetic vulnerability for schizophrenia could reduce the risk of emergence of the disease."

"This study raises the possibility that GABA neuronal deficits in psychiatric disorder may be preventable using a drug, N-acetylcysteine, which is quite safe to administer to humans," added Dr. John Krystal, Editor of Biological Psychiatry.

First steps on becoming a pope

(AP) ? The pomp surrounding his selection was just the beginning of an exceptionally busy few days for Pope Francis. A look at the first night ? and what comes after.

THE SELECTION

From the moment of uttering "I accept" in Latin, in front of his fellow cardinals in the Sistine Chapel, the job is his, and it starts instantly.

According to tradition, his first act is declaring his choice of name as the Roman Catholic church's 266th pontiff. That done, he's whisked off to the Room of Tears, just beyond the chapel to be dressed in papal white.

Since Monday, the day before the conclave began, three white robes ? in small, medium and large to cover all the bases ? had been hanging on a clothes rack in the room. Seven pairs of red shoes waited in white boxes to be tried on for size by the new pontiff.

Per tradition, outfitted in papal garb, the new pontiff heads back to the Sistine Chapel, where the other cardinals pledge obedience to the man they chose to lead the church.

NEXT STEP

Just before Benedict XVI left the papacy last month, to begin the first papal retirement in 600 years, he added another step in the ritual before a cardinal steps out onto the central loggia, or balcony, of St. Peter's Basilica to announce the name of the new pope. The newly elected pontiff was to pause to pray in solitude in the Pauline Chapel, another magnificent chapel decorated by Michelangelo and smaller than the nearby Sistine Chapel.

GREET THE MASSES

Next up is greeting crowds in St. Peter's Square.

"Brothers and sisters, good evening," Francis said to wild cheers in his first public remarks as pontiff. "You know that the work of the conclave is to give a bishop to Rome. It seems as if my brother cardinals went to find him from the end of the earth. Thank you for the welcome."

FIRST FULL DAY?

As the Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, told reporters a few hours before the election, it's up to the new boss to set the agenda. Holding to tradition, he will celebrate a Mass on Thursday at the altar in front of Michelangelo's "Last Judgment" in the Sistine Chapel with the cardinals. On his first full day he also plans to pray at St. Mary Major basilica in Rome.

WHERE DOES HE LIVE?

What else he does depends somewhat on him. He might remove the seals on the papal apartment if he's eager to move in, although the Vatican has said in case the place needs some repairs, the first days of the papacy might be the time to do them.

The apartment was sealed on Feb. 28, after Benedict left the Vatican to spend his last few hours as pope in the papal retreat in Castel Gandolfo.

But the three-room papal suite in room 201 of Santa Marta, the simple hotel on the Vatican grounds, is also waiting for him for his first days as pontiff.

THEN WHAT?

The first couple of days might also see the first appointments by Francis.

Four days after Benedict was elected, he met with the media, thanking them for all the attention they paid in the preceding weeks, including during the death and funeral of John Paul II.

On Sunday ? following two Sundays with no pope to appear at the papal studio window and bless the crowd in St. Peter's Square ? Francis will be expected by Catholics to speak to them.

Two days later, on Tuesday, the church feast day of St. Joseph, there will be his installation Mass, a morning-long affair, with much pomp, prayers and VIPs in the pews, with as many as some 200 foreign delegations expected as well as hundreds of thousands of rank-and-file, including many from the pope's homeland ? in this case Argentina.

That ceremony is traditionally held on Sunday, when the city's streets can be closed to traffic near the Vatican. But St. Joseph's feast day is a Vatican holiday, and it's likely many Romans will skip work or school to turn out for the formal embrace of Rome's new bishop.
