This annual event features a campground set up in our bear exhibit in the zoo’s Northern Trail. Bears are released into the campground to demonstrate the results of poorly planned campsites, plus a demonstration on how to create a bear-safe campsite and promote safe interactions between humans and bears in the wild. Plus learn about another native predator, gray wolves!
First clue that you might be in danger? You just pitched a tent inside the bear exhibit at a zoo.

VMware has been working with QSAs such as Coalfire to clarify how to successfully address PCI while still being able to fully leverage virtualization. This link takes you to a whitepaper written by Coalfire that highlights some of the core technologies that VMware offers that can help you address PCI compliance. VMware is actively working to deliver more guidance in this area but this will give you a good overview on how VMware can help companies of any size achieve PCI 2.0 compliance.
One of the more challenging requirements requires cloud service providers to identify all system, database, security and network administrators who have access to criminal justice information, [Stephen Fischer Jr., a spokesman for the FBI’s CJIS division] said.
Similarly, cloud vendors will likely find it difficult to require fingerprint criminal background checks on all administrators with access to the criminal justice information. Fischer said.
Analysts have previously noted such rules would be particularly difficult for cloud vendors like Google that maintain staffed data centers outside the U.S.
