	Lisa Rysinger	From Scottish Rumor to Scottish Royalty? Using Genetic Genealogy to Piece Together the Puzzle! "I always thought I was 50% Italian, 25% German, and 25% Irish, but after I had my DNA tested, I quickly learned that there was much more to my ancestry than I originally thought. In 2012, I began my genetic journey and it took me to places I never imagined- Scotland, Russia, Greece and even Finland! I wanted to know more, so I began sharing genomes with some of my matches. Two years later, I have more than 1000 cousins on 23andMe and quite possibly a Scottish castle in my pedigree. Join me as I show you how to use the best features of 23andMe, FTDNA, and Ancestry to break through the brick walls that traditional genealogy research could not. With today's technology, a lot of persistence, and a little luck, you, too, may find your DNA taking you places that you never imagined!" Lisa Rysinger is the President of VIDE Productions, Inc.

	Joe Mysko	Internet Security; how to protect yourself and why you should. There is a great perception that Mac OS X is invulnerable to virus and malware. Not only is that perception wrong, it is dangerous! Under the covers, Mac OS X is a variant of Berkley Unix called Darwin. The Unix code base can be just as vulnerable as any other operating system. Berkley Unix was the first operating system to be exploited far and wide. Now that the Mac has greater share of the market, it will be more of a target. We will explore various vulnerabilities and how you can protect your computer. We will also explore why you need to protect your Mac and any computer that you own and why it is your responsibility. If time permits, we will discuss your options with virtualization software and how you can make the most of it. Joe started his career at Commodore as he built a world wide engineering network while the Internet was being started under the management of the National Science Foundation and the U.S. military. Joe graduated to the aerospace industry and has been involved in projects such as GPS, LandSat and Earth Observation satellites and has held high level security clearances beyond “Top Secret”. Over the past 3 decades, Joe has designed numerous Internet Gateways for Fortune 500 Companies such as GE, NBC, Vanguard, Mellon Bank, Martin Marietta and Lockheed. His skills include Internet security and especially securing Internet application layer protocols. Joe was one of a team of three that discovered the security breach and “break in” to General Electric’s corporate network back in 1995 and helped to chase the notorious “Super Hacker” Kevin Mitnick who was eventually imprisoned for his activities. Citicorp has used Joe to design and rollout their corporate Email system for Y2K compliance. Joe’s other projects include the design of data centers, Help Desks, Network Operation Centers and ISP Infrastructures. Joe currently works as a Senior Operations Manager at a Fortune 50 company in the Philadelphia Region.	October 11

MLMUG Pot Luck Buffet, Swap and Sell Meet, Member's Show and Tell, and Election of Officers for 2015 The month of December brings an opportunity to enjoy friends, good food, and to swap or sell our Mac and iDevice treasures. We will not have a scheduled guest speaker. Instead a session called "Show and Tell" will allow members 5, 10, or 15 minutes to present a topic. Please contact Maria O. Argüello at maria10 at verizon dot net by December 1, with your topic. We invite you to bring a sweet or a savory dish to share with us. MLMUG will provide paper goods and hot beverages. We will have tables set up for the swap and sell meet. Bring your slightly used but in good working condition hardware, software, books, or periodicals to swap, share, or sell. Bring also any items you want to give away for the free table. MLMUG is not responsible for exchanges or sales. All items that don't find a new owner from the free table will need to go home with their original owner. December is also the time for electing board officers for 2015. Please sign up by Monday, December the 8th, so we can prepare space for your goods, and the food goodies you will share. We need to know in advance how many tables to set up. And if you can help with set up and clean up we appreciate the help. The sign up page is at .			December 13
