CORNING CHAMBER Co lor r un c om in g up on Saturday From Scott Camp, chamber chairman: Gosh, doesn't it seem like Christmas was just yesterday? And here we are, almost February. Be- fore you know it, it'll be Valentine's Day. Oh, wait… we just had that. Time is flying by for sure. Our Business Expo And Mixer — BEAM — just a couple of weeks ago was a huge success. We had more than 60 exhibitors and the largest attendance we've had since we began four years ago. Lots of prizes, lots of networking opportunities, lots of work for the chamber staff, but it was worth it. We hope that those of you who attended found it to be a worthwhile experi- ence. As Dave would say, "It was awesome." Let us know what you thought; we'd love to get some sug- gestions on how to make it even better. During and after BEAM we compiled a quick survey with many of you, attempting to find out how we might best serve you in terms of ed- ucational seminars that would help you improve your business. The Butte College Small Business Development Center is planning to part- ner with us on a quar- terly basis to provide our members with high qual- ity content. Strategic busi- ness planning, market- ing and website develop- ment seemed to resonate with almost everyone with whom we spoke. Once we get all the details worked out we'll let you know so you can take advantage of the training. It's been a busy time for all of us, and it's just now picking up steam. Be- fore we know it, we will be into Daylight Saving Time, spring break, Eas- ter and then right into the middle of the 11 Days of Round-Up, with all of the fun and excitement that brings. Stay tuned, details to follow. Remember, the business of the chamber is business.

WORKSHOPS Center offers variety of courses for small businessess By Bree Fowler TheAssociatedPress NEW YORK This year's $1 million A.M. Turing Award goes to a pair of cryptogra- phers whose ideas helped make Internet commerce possible, and who now ar- gue that giving govern- ments a "back door" into encrypted communications puts everyone at risk. Whitfield Diffie, a for- mer chief security officer of Sun Microsystems, and Martin Hellman, a profes- sor emeritus of electrical engineering at Stanford University, introduced the ideas of public-key cryp- tography and digital sig- natures back in 1976. The concepts are still used to- day to secure all kinds of communications and fi- nancial transactions. Their award, from the Association for Comput- ing Machinery and mostly funded by Google Inc., is named for British mathe- matician Alan Turing, and is one of the most presti- gious prizes in computing. The honor comes amid a pitched battle between the FBI and Apple, which is resisting government pressure to help the gov- ernment hack into a ter- rorist's iPhone. Hellman told The Asso- ciated Press that he's sym- pathetic to the plight of FBI Director James Comey and those investigating the De- cember attack in San Ber- nardino, California, where an Islamic extremist cou- ple killed 14 people before dying in a gun battle with police. But Hellman said giv- ing the FBI what it wants would unleash "huge" con- sequences that could not be contained. "The problem isn't so much with this first request, it's the precedent that it would set and the avalanche of requests that would fol- low," Hellman says, add- ing that many would likely come from less democratic governments such as China, Russia and Saudi Arabia. Hellman says he will sign onto one of the many "Friend of the Court" briefs backing Apple in the case. Tech giants such as Google, Microsoft, Facebook and Twitter have pledged to participate as well. Diffie also has advocated against giving "back doors" to law enforcement. Hellman, now 70, said the encryption technolo- gies he and Diffie invented in the 1970s didn't make them popular with the gov- ernment.
