Reagents and Materials Sterile Trypsin, 0.1% in PBSA Protocol (a) Trypsinize ES cells as previously described (See Protocol 3.4). (b) To initiate the cultures, place a drop of medium containing the cells on the inside of the lid of a Petri dish while the lid is turned upside down. Place more than one drop on the lid of the Petri dish if there is suf cient space that the drops will not touch each other. The lid is then quickly inverted right-side up while ensuring that the drops do not merge. (c) Slowly place the lid back on the Petri dish so that the drop is suspended in the middle of the dish. It is suggested to examine the culture under phase-contract microscope to ensure that each drop contains cells. (d) Carefully return the dishes to the CO2 incubator.

The application server code carefully validates any user input to ensure there are no buffer-overruns or SQL injection attacks or other types of accidental or malicious input. Application server objects are retrieved and stored to the third tier distributed network of databases. The communication between the application server and the databases, and between the databases themselves, is also secured with TLS. The application server authenticates itself to the DDBE, typically with a user ID and password that is protected using the application server operating system host security mechanisms, such as a protected registry or keychain. The database tier uses its SQL security model to ensure that requests are authorized. Each database, if the data is sensitive, might also be encrypted so that theft of hard disks would not result in data compromise. The database backup tapes must also be encrypted so that their storage or disposal will not result in a compromise. The database tier and application tier execute a strict audit policy and log all signi cant access attempts, successes, and failures. These audit logs are also protected from modi cation by leveraging operating system facilities or special purpose, external, one-way, write-only logging servers. Firewalls and intrusion detection systems can be strategically placed across the network to block unwanted traf c and to detect attack attempts. The security deployment must be validated, usually via a security audit, and all software must be kept up-to-date with patches at all levels. A penetration (PEN) test would further assure the implementation by having an experienced security tester (known as a white hat) try to compromise the system before an attacker (known as a black hat) will. Finally, an organization must have a written set of security processes that implement security policies for system maintenance, testing, incident response, and user and administrator authentication and authorization.

Enrique Garcia, a hotel general manager, has heard the last complaint about his staff! He is so tired of writing letters of apology and comping guest stays because of poor delivery of service. Recently, a guest complained that after he left the front desk area in his wheelchair, one desk clerk was overheard making an unkind remark. Two days before that, another hotel employee took 45 minutes to respond to a guest s request for assistance in moving a heavy box from his room to the lobby area, and that same person said it took 10 minutes to go through the check-in process. Mr. Garcia wants to contact an advertising agency that will assist him in cleaning up the hotel s image.
