THE VA – A Veteran/Patient/Volunteer Memoir is a story that chronicles the very positive experiences of a veteran and his interactions with the VA as a disabled veteran, a patient in their healthcare system and as a volunteer. The VA gets a lot of negative press when things go wrong. But seldom do they get positive recognition for all of the things that go very, very right. The VA is far from perfect but overall it is extremely good. Our veterans deserve help with the dignity and respect they so honorably have earned. This book highlights the positive things about the VA which help our grateful veterans in many, many ways.

POINT-A Paratrooper's Memoirs of Vietnam tells the combat related stories/memoirs of Rick Butler, a paratrooper in Vietnam in 1968. The book is fiction but is based on Rick's combat experience. It starts with his stateside Army training and continues with the 18-year-old's deployment to Vietnam. His combat experience is chronicled with numerous stories representing his transition from a green, inexperienced 18-year-old who is trying to stay alive, to a hardened combat veteran and point man. Rick was fortunate not to be wounded but feels guilty as he saw many of his buddies and best friends get wounded or killed. The book then describes the aftermath of war for Rick as he struggles with post traumatic stress throughout his career and his life-emphasizing the importance of family and counseling to cope with the recurring nightmares, guilt and "point whispers" that haunt him.

IBM® DB2® 9 and 10 for z/OS® have added functions in the areas of security, regulatory compliance, and audit capability that provide solutions for the most compelling requirements. DB2 10 enhances the DB2 9 role-based security with additional administrative and other finer-grained authorities and privileges. This authority granularity helps separate administration and data access that provide only the minimum appropriate authority. The authority profiles provide better separation of duties while limiting or eliminating blanket authority over all aspects of a table and its data. In addition, DB2 10 provides a set of criteria for auditing for the possible abuse and overlapping of authorities within a system. In DB2 10, improvements to security and regulatory compliance focus on data retention and protecting sensitive data from privileged users and administrators. Improvements also help to separate security administration from database administration. DB2 10 also lets administrators enable security on a particular column or particular row in the database complementing the privilege model. This IBM Redbooks® publication provides a detailed description of DB2 10 security functions from the implementation and usage point of view. It is intended to be used by database, audit, and security administrators.
