Seven airport taxi dispatchers at both Kennedy and LaGuardia airports were charged in an alleged bribery scheme where taxi drivers would pay dispatchers to skip long, mandatory waiting lines and instead pick up passengers directly at terminals, the Queens district attorney announced.
The dispatchers, employed by Port Authority subcontractor Five Star Parking, have been arrested and charged with unlawfully receiving bribes, DA Richard Brown said.
The seven are from Woodhaven, Flushing, Jamaica, Sunnyside, Queens Village and Springfield Gardens.
The plot was discovered when an undercover Port Authority police officer posed as a yellow cab driver and tried to skip the lines in the taxi holding areas, the DA said. He offered three of the defendants cash payments and the four others gifts ranging from a laptop computer to a DVD/VCR player, according to Brown.
In this era of heightened security at our airports, the presence of corrupt employees in a position to regulate ground traffic at our airports is particularly troubling and cannot be tolerated, Brown told a news conference Sept. 18.
Brown, along with representatives from the Port Authority and Taxi and Limousine Commission, said the seven charged could face up to seven years in prison if convicted. He stressed that no drivers had been arrested or charged.
The investigation, which lasted from May until August, began when suspicious taxi drivers alerted the Taxi and Limousine Commission to the alleged illegal activities.
This was an operation that was building steam over time, the DA said. Word gets around and thats how the scheme spread.
Brown said yellow cab drivers wanted shortie tickets, which allow drivers who waited in the hold area and then are given short fares to places like Brooklyn or Queens to pick up fares directly at terminals after they return and not have to wait in line again.
The accused dispatchers were instead illegally selling the shortie tickets to any driver who would pay for them, he said. The cash payments per ticket were between $5 and $10, Brown said.
We knew this was happening on a regular basis, Port Authority Deputy Inspector General Michael Nester said. If you wanted to get to the front of the line, you had to pay.
Edwin Diaz, 28, of Woodhaven, was the alleged ring leader of the scheme at JFK that lasted about a year, Brown said. He received a DVD/VCR player worth $250 for allegedly letting taxis jump the line, the DA said.
Thomas Baba, 39, of Flushing and a dispatcher at LaGuardia, and Claude Benjamin, 31, and Latisha Williams, 29, both of Jamaica, allegedly received cash payments from the undercover officer, Brown said. Christian Cardona, 24, of Sunnyside, allegedly received a laptop computer worth more than $1,000, while Carlton Clark, 23, of Springfield Gardens and Rajenddra Jaggernath, 24, of Queens Village, each allegedly received Palm Pilots, according to Brown.
Port Authority Inspector General Robert Van Etten said the investigation also mentioned a management level dispatcher who was forging old checks from former employees and then dividing the cash among fellow employees. He was not identified.
This kind of corruption negatively affects the orderly dispatch of taxis serving the 80,000 people who use Kennedy Airport each day, Van Etten said. Such criminal activity undermines the efficient transportation of travelers to and from the airport and will not be tolerated.

Dry weather, slow snow melt ideal for area
Warm, but not too warm. And dry. If Red River Valley residents could make a weather wish list for Mother Nature, that would be it.
A slow thaw cycle with limited precipitation would help alleviate spring flooding, meteorologists say.
Perfect conditions to counteract a rainy fall and wet winter would include lots of days that got just above freezing up to the mid-40s.

Enjoy this tasty crab and mango dish for a perfect summer meal.
Crab Meat:
Cook crab meat in a pan with some butter, season with salt and white pepper and mix through tarragon. Set aside and let cool a little.
Clean the baby squid removing skin and any cartilage.
Gently stuff the squid with the crab mixture being careful not to split the squid by forcing too much meat inside or filling it too tightly. You can fill them up but you don't need to jam the meat in. If you cant get small squid then you will have to use large squid. Cut the squid hood on one side so that you can open it out into a square or rectangle. Make sure any cartilage is removed and the inside is clean.
Score the soft inside flesh quite deeply in two directions so that you get lots of little squares or diamonds.
Turn the squid over so that the scored side is on the bench.
Place a generous amount of the crab meat along the middle of the squid running lengthways and then lift the side closest to you and the opposite side up so they meet.
Take a long wooden skewer and starting from the right (unless you are left handed in which case I presume you will start from the left) thread it through the squid so as to weave from the front flap to the back flap and then through the back flap and through the front flap sealing the lip closed.
Once closed you can push a little more crab meat into either end so as to stuff it a little tighter but be careful not to split the squid from the skewer. It is almost like a weird looking curly sausage.
Roll the stuffed squid in an equal mix of plain flour and corn flour seasoned with salt, black pepper and paprika and dust off any excess.
Fry in hot peanut oil turning so that all sides cook and brown evenly until cooked. You can finish it off in a hot oven for about 3 minutes if you want.
Salsa :
Heat butter in a pan and when it begins to foam put in the chilli, capsicum and chives.
Cook for a few minutes then add the mango and give it a good stir.
Sprinkle over the curry powder mix through and cook a little longer then add the coconut milk to give the salsa a little bit of moisture. Remove from the heat.
Serve salsa on a plate, remove skewer from squid and cut into three pieces and place on top of salsa. Garnish with salmon roe.
Serve with salad of wilted baby spinach and toasted pine nuts.
Salad to serve:
Wilt spinach in a hot pan with a little butter, toss through toasted pine nuts and serve next to the salsa.

Chardonnay, Riesling and Dessert Wines are the best wines to pair with Squid stuffed with Crab meat on a Mango Salsa.

Press Release |
Digeo(R) Outlines Services Strategy; Announces Alliances With Flickr, Finetune, Accedo...
* Reuters is not responsible for the content in this press release.
Digeo(R) Outlines Services Strategy; Announces Alliances With Flickr, Finetune, Accedo and CloverLeaf New Services Further Enhance the Moxi Multi-Room HD DMR Entertainment Experience LAS VEGAS--(Business Wire)--Digeo, Inc., makers of the Emmy(R)-award winning Moxi(R) digital media recorder (DMR), and recipients of two CEA Innovations 2008 Design and Engineering Honoree awards, today outlined its featured services strategy and subsequently announced alliances with four leading content providers: Flickr, Finetune, Accedo Broadband and CloverLeaf Digital LLC. These new services are the first of many anticipated content partners and illustrate how the Moxi Menu seamlessly aggregates and connects several different specialized services into one cohesive entertainment experience. While other basic DMRs or media center PCs provide access to non-broadcast content and services via disparate virtual content "stores," the Moxi Menu delivers a premium entertainment experience that integrates all content sources throughout the user interface, providing consumers with increased exposure and easy access to all available content. This approach has already proven successful for premium content offered on Moxi Media Centers deployed through cable operators. A 2006 Adelphia study demonstrated VOD usage by subscribers of the Moxi Media Center was more than triple that of ordinary digital-cable subscribers during a given month. The increase in VOD uptake is credited to the Moxi Menu's unique seamless integration of VOD and PPV titles alongside regular programming throughout the guide. "People are increasingly looking to the TV as a central source for entertainment," said Mike Fidler, CEO of Digeo. "As the number of channels and Internet-based content delivery providers grow, consumers will seek out devices which make navigating the sea of content simple and intuitive, and we believe the Moxi HD DMR family will stand out as providing the best entertainment experience possible." Your Digital Life, All in One Place Each content partner was chosen not only for its innovative approach to digital content, but for its overall commitment to ease of use and ability to aid consumer discovery and enjoyment of new content. For example, Digeo is collaborating with Flickr, one of the world's largest online photo sharing communities, to allow users to easily link their Flickr accounts with the Moxi Multi-Room HD DMR. This gives consumers easy access to any photo group associated with their Flickr account - including popular categories from the Flickr web community and photos uploaded from mobile devices -- in the full HD resolution(1) in their living room. Now, consumers can access photos streamed from their PC, stored on Moxi or shared on Flickr all from the Moxi Photos tab on the Moxi Menu. Similarly, together with Finetune, a well-known music service, Digeo has extended the Moxi Music feature by making it possible for Finetune members to play their customized playlists or personalized stations from the Moxi Menu. Comprised of about two million tracks, Finetune also has one of the largest major and indie label libraries in the industry. Since its launch in September 2006, Finetune has already counted three-million unique listeners and 600,000 registered members, adding more than 60,000 new listeners each week. Now, Moxi users have convenient access to their entire MP3 music library, right from the Moxi Menu regardless of whether the music lives on the Moxi hard drive, their laptop or PC, or online at Finetune. To bring HD casual gaming to the TV, Digeo is partnering with Accedo Broadband, which specializes in television-centric entertainment services. Casual gaming has grown dramatically in popularity over the past few years and is increasingly being embraced through the television medium. Moxi DMRs already offer classic games such as solitaire and poker, and with Accedo, Digeo will expand its offering to include additional HD games such as Sudoku, Texas Hold'em and QuizzMaster. Moxi Multi-Room HD DMR will also have a host of new services for information junkies. In addition to the popular SuperTicker(TM) feature already in Moxi, CloverLeaf will take advantage of the new HD Moxi Menu to give users access to full-screen web-based content designed specifically for TV viewing. This includes news and sports from Associated Press, local weather content from AccuWeather, lottery results and other information such as horoscopes and movie listings through CloverLeaf's DotDaily, an interactive television news and information portal. Moxi Multi-Room HD DMR users will be able to browse news by topic and region, or see the day's news as a series of photos. All four services will be available as free features in the Moxi Multi-Room HD DMR, Moxi Home Cinema HD DMR and Moxi TV for PC products to become available later in 2008. Additionally, Digeo will showcase live demonstrations of all four services at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2008 in their booth #26606 in South Hall 2, as well as the Content@CES showcase in the Central Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center. About Digeo, Inc. Digeo, Inc. creates state-of-the-art home entertainment technologies, including digital media recorder (DMR) platforms and services.

Plan readied for Barrow benefits shake-up
Last updated at 15:49, Monday, 11 June 2012
AN action plan has been devised to ensure tenants know how benefit reforms will affect them.
From April 2013, a host of changes are set to be made to the welfare benefits system by the government.
As part of the plans, housing benefits will be scrapped and will be included in a new universal credit scheme.
Barrow Borough Council has prepared a welfare reform action plan to ensure social housing tenants and the council is ready for the changes.
The plan is set to be presented to the council's housing management forum on Thursday and Jane Coles, business support manager, said in a report for the forum that the overhaul presents a challenge to the council.
She said: "In considering the council's approach it is important to balance the responsibilities of the council as a landlord and the wellbeing of our tenants.
"While we do not have access to comprehensive income records of all our tenants we do know that by far the largest percentage of tenants receive housing benefit.
"Any changes to the benefit system of the magnitude being progresses poses a risk to the housing service's income and the ability to provide service levels agreed with tenants."
The council will no longer be paid housing benefits directly and instead will have to liaise with tenants to ensure that payment plans for the new amounts are set up.
The plan aims to raise awareness of the changes and will offer financial guidance to help people pay.
Tenants whose house is under-occupied, for example a three-person family living in a four-bedroom house, will see their benefits reduced and the council has adapted a 'best use of stock' policy which will aim to limit the amount of people who are transferred to properties which are too big for them. This could also see some families being asked if they would like to move through a mutual exchange programme.
Ms Coles said more communication was needed to ensure that people are aware of the changes.
She said: "From informal discussion with tenants and their representatives at various meetings over the past few months, it would appear that while there is some knowledge of the changes it would be appropriate for the housing service to ensure it complements any information produced by the Department for Work and Pensions to ensure tenants are aware of the implications from a tenants' perspective."
The meeting takes place at Barrow Town Hall on Thursday at 2pm.

Have your say
While i understand it is not the best idea in the world to have a single person living in a 4 bedroom house, how inhumane it is to shove a person out of a house they may have lived in for many years to save a couple of quid in housing benefit. To give an example my sons 1 bed flat (council) as it is part furnished is £88 per week and a 3 bed unfurnished house (council) is about £80! I predict it will result in a lot of people getting evicted as they will not be able to meet the shortfall in rent. If they have children the council are obliged to house them...what a mess.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
In pass-happy NFL, running still matters
ASHBURN, Va. -- As a wideout, Santana Moss wants Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III to throw the ball as much as possible, of course, preferably in his direction.
As a football player hoping to advance in the playoffs, Moss wants the Redskins to do what they've done as well as anyone in the NFL this season: run, run, run.
"That's big to me. Everywhere I've played and been successful, we ran the ball to pass the ball. Nowadays, a lot of teams fling the ball everywhere, and you want to be a part of that as a receiver," Moss said. "But when you really want to win games, you have to have both parts of your offence working, the air and the ground. It's great to see we have that here."
They do, indeed, thanks in part to the man known as RG3, who set a rookie QB record by running for 815 yards, and to another rookie, Alfred Morris, who finished second in the league with 1,613 yards rushing. Washington averaged an NFL-high 169.3 yards on the ground, and its opponent in the first round of the NFC playoffs Sunday is the Seattle Seahawks, who ranked No. 3 at 161.2, led by Marshawn Lynch.
Clearly, as much as the NFL is a passing league, it still helps to be able to run the ball.
"It doesn't have to be great, but you have to have an effective running game to be able to be successful," said two-time Super Bowl champion John Elway, now the Denver Broncos executive VP of football operations. "The reason I say that is because, if you get leads, you've got to be able to eat clock with it and you've got to be able to keep people honest, especially pass-rushing teams."
Elway was the quarterback and Terrell Davis was a 2,000-yard running back when the Broncos won the 1999 Super Bowl, the last time the league's leading rusher earned an NFL championship (their coach then was Mike Shanahan, currently with the Redskins). It's only happened three other times since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970, according to STATS LLC, and always by the same guy: Emmitt Smith, with the Dallas Cowboys in 1993, 1994 and 1996.
A season's leader in yards passing, by the way, never has won a Super Bowl in that span, STATS said.
The top three rushers during this regular season are in the playoffs: Adrian Peterson of the Minnesota Vikings, Morris and Lynch.
Two of the top three in yards receiving also have plenty of time on their hands now: Calvin Johnson of the Lions and Brandon Marshall of the Bears. Come playoff time, it turns out, good running performances are a better indicator of success.
In playoff games in the Super Bowl era, teams with a 100-yard rusher are a combined 157-37 (a winning percentage of .809), while teams with a 300-yard passer are 57-66 (only .463), according to STATS.
Admittedly, that presents something of a chicken-and-egg scenario: Did teams get a lead and win because they ran the ball well?
Or did they gain a lot of yards running because they already were ahead and were trying to run out the clock?
Either way, the Vikings, Seahawks and Redskins are unabashedly putting emphasis on the ground game. Seattle led the NFL by running on 55 per cent of its offence's plays, Washington was next at 52.2, and Minnesota fifth at 48.6.

Oklahoma WR Dorial Green-Beckham is scheduled to visit the Vikings, according to Darren Wolfson.
Football Outsiders' Playmaker Score disappointingly ranks WR Dorial Green-Beckham as the No. 13 receiver in the class and offers Jonathan Baldwin and Yatil Green as similar historical prospects.
Missouri HC Gary Pinkel called former Tiger WR Dorial Green-Beckham "a pretty good kid that made a very, very serious mistake."
Oklahoma DT Jordan Phillips "is a force to be reckoned with" when healthy, notes Nick O'Malley of Mass Live.
Oklahoma DT Jordan Phillips visited the Lions on Tuesday.
Prior to trading their first-round pick in the Jimmy Graham deal, the Seahawks were "digging into" Oklahoma WR Dorial Green-Beckham, according to Charles Robinson.
Oklahoma NT Jordan Phillips "is a very huge roll of the dice," according to NFLDraftScout.com's Frank Cooney.
Oklahoma NT Jordan Phillips' "motor runs hot and cold, and his effort chasing the passer in particular is disappointing at times, but the 6-5, 329-pound Phillips could still go in the second half of the first round," according to ESPN's Steve Muench.
Oklahoma TE Blake Bell had dinner with the Miami Dolphins and Philadelphia Eagles this week.
Oklahoma OTs Tyrus Thompson and Daryl Williams met with the Tennessee Titans and St. Louis Rams this week.
With Oklahoma CB Julian Wilson's "size and speed," he is an "intriguing late round option," according to CBS Sports Dane Brugler.
Oklahoma WR Dorial Green-Beckham "will need some time to develop on the practice field before he can become an impact playmaker as a pro," according to NFL Media analyst Bucky Brooks.
The Vikings met with Oklahoma OTs Tyrus Thompson and Daryl Williams on Tuesday.
Oklahoma WR Dorial Green-Beckham will work out for scouts at the school's March 11 pro day.

How do you know when it's time to call it quits?
Cupid's Advice:
Even though a relationship may seem perfect on the outside, it pays to know when to call it quits. Here are a few clues:
1. No spark: After time, many couples just seem to fizzle out. If you and your partner have lost the spark in your relationship despite your tries to reconnect, consider ending the relationship.
2. Lack of progress: If your relationship doesn't seem to be going anywhere, you may want to reevaluate your goals. Your current relationship could only be holding you back, especially if you have hopes of starting a family in the future.
3. You have different goals: There comes a time in a relationship when you have to sit down and discuss your plans for the future and how your relationship fits into those plans. If you and your partner want different things in life, it may be time to end the relationship.
How did you know when it was time to call it quits with your partner? Feel free to leave a comment below.

- Title:Blue Lagoon: The Awakening
- Premiere:June 16th, 2012
- Genre:Drama, TV Movie
Blue Lagoon: The Awakening PlotIn Blue Lagoon: The Awakening, overachieving high school student Emma Robinson (Indiana Evans) and slacker Dean McMullen (Brenton Thwaites) find themselves on the same class trip to Trinidad. Though they have little in common, Emma and Dean attend a wild party on a boat, and when Emma falls overboard during a police raid, Dean jumps in to save her. The pair drifts in a motorless dinghy until they end up stranded on a deserted island. While their parents desperately search for them, Emma and Dean are forced to rely on each other for survival, and the more time they spend together the more they realize their attraction to one another. Despite their differences, they eventually create a bond between themselves. But as days on the island become weeks and then months, Emma and Dean wonder if they'll ever be rescued or if their life on the Blue Lagoon will last forever. Denise Richards stars as Emma's devoted mother Barbara, who refuses to give up the search for her missing daughter. Christopher Atkins, who starred in the 1980 romance/adventure movie The Blue Lagoon, portrays Mr. Christiansen, a high school teacher who helps in the search for Emma and Dean.

An Introduction to Application Development with Catalyst and Perl
Plugins and Application-Wide Settings
Besides pre-built component classes for drop-in functionality, many plugins are available to modify the behavior and extend the functionality of Catalyst itself. A few of the most common are the optional authentication, authorization and session plugins.
These plugins provide a consistent API for handling these tasks with a variety of available back ends. Like the core request/response object interfaces, they are available as application-wide features that are accessed and controlled through methods in the context object, which become available once these plugins have been loaded.
You can authenticate a user (within an action handling a login form post, for example) like this:
username => $c->request->params->{username},
password => $c->request->params->{password}
If this succeeds, the
$c->user object is available in subsequent requests
to control and direct application flow based on the authenticated user.
This is accomplished using sessions (usually cookie-based) that are
handled for you automatically. You also have access to
$c->session to
persist any additional per-session data across requests.
The API of this framework is agnostic to the back end, and many are available. You can handle authentication and user storage via databases (DBIC), system accounts, PAM and LDAP, to name a few. There also are multiple ways to handle session data to support different application needs, such as distributed server deployments and so on. (See the documentation for Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication, Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization and Catalyst::Plugin::Session for more information.)
Plugins and application-wide settings are configured within the main/core class (lib/KillerApp.pm). Within this file, you can specify global configuration parameters, load Plugins and even add your own code to override and extend core functionality.
The top-level "KillerApp" class actually is the application—it programmatically loads and integrates the other components and classes throughout the system. Like any derived class, its behaviors can be selectively altered from that of its parent class ("Catalyst"). Since it uses the powerful "Moose" object system, in addition to adding and replacing methods, you also can take advantage of additional powerful features like method modifiers and Roles (in fact, Plugins are essentially Moose Roles applied to this class).
Catalyst was written with customization and extensibility in mind. It's structured to allow its functions and behaviors to be modified easily in a fine-grained manner.
For example, you could configure every response to be set with "no-cache" across the whole application simply by adding a method modifier like this to lib/KillerApp.pm:
before 'finalize_headers' => sub {
my $c = shift;
$c->response->headers->header( 'Cache-control' => 'no-cache' );
Catalyst calls methods with meaningful names (such as 'finalize_headers') throughout the various stages of processing that you are free to hook into or override.
Deploying Your Application
Like most things in Catalyst, many options are available when you're ready to deploy your application to a real Web server—Apache/FastCGI is one of the best choices available. I briefly cover this below.
If you put your application in /var/www, for example, you can deploy with an Apache virtual host configuration like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.example.com
ServerAdmin email@example.com
Alias /static/ /var/www/KillerApp/root/static/
FastCgiServer /var/www/KillerApp/script/killerapp_fastcgi.pl \
-processes 5
Alias / /var/www/KillerApp/script/killerapp_fastcgi.pl/
ErrorLog /var/www/logs/error_log
CustomLog /var/www/logs/access_log combined
FastCGI is a proven, language-independent interface for running Web applications. It is essentially just plain CGI, but it keeps programs running in the background instead of firing them up for every request. This is the major limitation of CGI that FastCGI overcomes. FastCGI has been around for a long time. The use of this efficient protocol is another example of how Catalyst leverages existing solutions.
FastCGI allows you to specify the number of processes to run (five in the example above), making your application multithreaded. Incoming requests are distributed evenly among the processes, which are maintained in a pool.
The alias for <code>/static/</code> above tells Apache to serve the files directly in this directory (images, CSS, JavaScript files and so on). This is more efficient than serving these files through the application, which isn't necessary.
This article is meant to provide only a taste of Catalyst and its capabilities. As I hope you have seen, Catalyst is a viable platform for any Web development project. With a flexible design and many available mature features, you can use Catalyst to build robust applications quickly and conveniently.

Error in template?
In page 3 of this article:
$c->stash->{data}->{title} = 'TT rendered page';
Shouldn't the template have this:
[% data.title %]
Instead of what is in the article:
[% title %]
This was an effective review for me, thank you!
[% data.message %] too
I should have also mentioned that given:
$c->stash->{data}->{message} = 'A cool message!';
The following in the template:
[% message %]
needs to be:
[% data.message %]
Good work
I like post a complete catalyst tutorial, i want to know if reference for it article, tks
Really nice article! Catalyst
Really nice article! Catalyst is great framework with great community behind it
In this text:
The alias for
/static/ above tells Apache to serve the files directly in this directory (images, CSS, JavaScript files and so on). This is more efficient than serving these files through the application, which isn't necessary.
The <code> and </code> HTML tags surrounding /static/ somehow got through.
Good Job!
Nice work! I hope you'll continue with another MVC framework from Perl, a more lighter one, Perl Dancer.
With so many people still thinking of perl as "that legacy language that you run from the cgi-bin directory", it's good to see the modern stuff get some coverage. Nice one!
Good work, looking for more!
Only LinuxJournal could have come up with such article. Good work!
Try to post a complete catalyst tutorial, there's only one single tutorial available (CPAN's tutorial for catalyst, the best one).

Since starting his second stint as Chugiak's head wrestling coach in 2010, Tom Huffer Jr. has been working to rebuild the program.
The streak continues. Brett Wood scored 55 seconds into the third period to lift Eagle River hockey past Chugiak 4-3 on Tuesday, Nov. 13 at the McDonald Center — stretching the Wolves' undefeated streak against their rival to five games.
Brett Wood's third-period tally was the difference as Eagle River ran its unbeaten streak to five games against Chugiak on Tuesday, Nov. 13 at the McDonald Center in Eagle River.
Both Chugiak and Eagle River's riflery teams were shutout 7-0 in Cook Inlet Conference action Friday, Nov. 2.
After beating East High in the opening round of the Cook Inlet Conference volleyball tournament, Chugiak fell to the T-Birds on Saturday, Nov. 3. Not only did the 3-0 (25-20, 25-23, 25-23) loss end the Mustangs' season, it ended their streak of four consecutive state tournament appearances.
Both local high schools saw their seasons end at the hands of East at the Cook Inlet Conference volleyball tournament.
Randall Sperry has a problem. But, it's a good problem. The Chugiak-Eagle River girls hockey coach has 28 players on his roster. About half are returners and half new to the sport.
With no seniors on the team last year, Eagle River's varsity hockey roster is nearly identical for the 2012-13 campaign.
Nearly every forward is back for Chugiak's hockey team, but the Mustangs are thin on the blue line.
Winning a state title is emotional. Just ask Kaitlin Friedli.

Do you avoid stores that have had a credit card breach?
You are not alone. About 52% of people avoid merchants who have had a data breach according to a recent Lowcards survey. They surveyed over 400 random consumers to better understand the impact of identity theft on consumer behavior. 17% said they or a family member was a victim of identity theft over the last year with half the cases being credit card theft. 94% said they are more concerned or equally concerned about ID theft. They estimate that there were 13.5 million cases of credit card identity theft in the United States over the last 12 months.
These concerns are also changing the way some people shop.
Over half (56%) are taking extra measures to protect themselves from identity theft. Some of these behaviors include using a debit card less (28%), using cash more (25%), ordering online less (26%) and checking their credit report more (38%). These are all reasonable responses to the ever challenging game of protecting your identity and is important since 89% of security breaches and data loss incidents could have been prevented last year, according to the Online Trust Alliance's 2014 Data and Breach Protection Readiness Guide.
The game is changing however, and mobile is the new stadium. Let's check that scoreboard.
Most of the security reports released thus far in 2014, like the Cisco 2014 Annual Security Report and the Kaspersky Security Bulletin 2013 show that threats to mobile devices are increasing. We are using them more and using them for sensitive activities like shopping, banking and storing personally identifiable information. It is no wonder that the thieves are targeting mobile and getting very good at it. Kaspersky's report talks about the rise of mobile botnets and the effectiveness since we never shut off our phones. They are always ready to accept new tasks either from us or, a foreign remotely controlled server with SMS trojans leading the pack. Mobile trojans can even check on the victim's bank balance to ensure the heist is profitable and some will even infect your PC when you USB the phone to it.
Distribution of exploits in cyber-attacks by type of attacked application
I guess the good news is that people are becoming much more aware of the overall risks surrounding identity theft and breaches but will the convenience and availability of mobile put us right back in that dark alley? Mobile threats are starting to reach PC proportions with online banking being a major target and many of the potential infections are delivered via SMS messages. Sound familiar?
Maybe we can simply cut and replace 'PC' with 'Mobile' on all those decade old warnings of:

Wearable technology was dominant at this year's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) , and MWC was no exception to this trend. New versions of favorites, such as the Samsung Gear (three new products were released: the Gear 2, the Gear 2 Neo and the Gear Fit), shared the limelight with new wearables like Pebble Time Steel (the new premium version of the company's previously released smartwatch) and the LG Watch Urbane. The most dramatic difference at MWC was an emphasis on presenting wearables as fashion accessories and moving away from the original clunky technology associated with t...
