A bold design for conservation
(09/07/2012) Carlos and his wife Nancy come from a line of artisans, and like their parents, they began working in handicrafts at a young age in their native Ecuador. This husband-wife duo spent most of their lives traveling long distances to and from Otavalo, an Andean crossroads about an hour outside of the capital Quito, to sell their jewelry at the daily market.
Can 'boutique capitalism' help protect the Amazon?
(10/11/2010) Most companies talk green, but few—almost none in fact—actually walk the walk. Sustainable design company, Ecostasy, not only walks the walk, but actually seeks out among the most challenging places to work: the imperiled Brazilian Amazon. Specializing in hand-crafted products by indigenous groups—such as jewelry, pots, and furniture—Ecostasy seeks to balance smart economics, environmental protection, and community development. Make no mistake, however, Ecostasy is not a non-profit, but a rare and refreshing example of a company truly dedicated to changing the world for the better. "In my mind, a virtuous company does not compromise ethical principles for economic interests. For me, being ethical is comprised of conducting oneself with honesty and responsibility to one's constituencies (customers, employees, suppliers), society and the environment," Katherine Ponte, founder of Ecostasy, told mongabay.com in an interview.
Is El Niño back?

New glass could reduce one billion annual bird deaths from U.S. window collisions
(07/13/2009) The deaths of billions of birds annually due to collision with window glass can be reduced through simple measures including dimming lights in buildings at night, landscaping changes, and using window coverings that make glass more visible to birds, reports a bird expert writing in The Wilson Journal of Ornithology. Conducting experiment with different types of firm on plastics and glass, Daniel Klem Jr., an ornithologist at Muhlenberg College in Allentown, Pennsylvania, found coverings that create visual "noise" can dramatically reduce bird-window collisions without drastically increasing costs or impeding visibility for humans relative to conventional glass. The most effective covering was a new exterior film with evenly spaced ultraviolet (UV)-reflecting and UV-absorbing patterns, which can be seen by birds but not humans.

Carbon tax would make China greener and reduce warming risks
(02/07/2008) Driven by booming economic growth and rapid urbanization, China's carbon dioxide emissions are surging. At the same time, forecasts suggest climate change will have an immense impact on the country, with rising sea levels projected to swamp key industrial areas and diminished rainfall reducing agricultural output. Given this outlook, a new policy paper published in Science argues that China will need to embark on a cleaner path to growth, one that is less dependent on coal. The authors say that international assistance in the form of carbon funds could help persuade Chinese leadership to move towards more environmentally-friendly energy technologies.
New program pays Canadians for energy efficiency gains
(01/20/2008) As I write this article, CBS News is having a Sunday evening prime-time, hour long special on global warming. What is alarming is both the extent of how bad the situation is for the planet, the impact on wildlife (e.g . Polar Bear populations dwindling dangerously low due to reduced glaciers) and the alleged refusal of certain governments to acknowledge both that there is a fact based problem and that we are running out of time to reduce its effects on the air we breathe, our environments, our forests and its wildlife population.

Guidelines to ensure biofuels production won't hurt the environment
(08/30/2007) Environmentalists have long seen biofuels as a means to improve the sustainability of transportation and energy use since they are a renewable source of energy that can be replenished on an ongoing basis. Further, because biofuels are generally derived from plants, which absorb carbon from the atmosphere as they grow, biofuel production offers the potential to help offset carbon dioxide emissions and mitigate climate change. Nonetheless, in recent years, there has been considerable backlash against biofuels, which are increasingly viewed as a threat to the environment. Green groups now point to large-scale land conversion for energy crops, higher food prices, and a spate to studies that suggest net emissions from corn ethanol are little better than those from fossil fuels, to caution that biofuels can cause more problems than they address.
Apple comes up a bit short on eco-credentials of new iMac
(08/10/2007) While Apple has touted the environmental attributes of its newest iMac, critics say the new computer failed to live up to the company's goals for the use of mercury, reports the San Jose Mercury. In May, Apple said it would eventually replace mercury-containing fluorescent backlights in its LCD monitors with LEDs backlights, but the new computers don't use the new technology. The company said it still face technological hurdles in rolling out the new LCDs.

Showerhead cuts water use by injecting air bubbles
(11/09/2006) As Australians become increasingly alert to the importance of using water wisely in the home, CSIRO researchers have found a way to use a third less water when you shower -- by adding air. The scientists have developed a simple 'air shower' device which, when fitted into existing showerheads, fills the water droplets with a tiny bubble of air. The result is the shower feels just as wet and just as strong as before, but now uses much less water.
Shark biomimicry produces renewable energy system
(11/01/2006) An Australian firm has developed a renewable tidal energy conversion system based on the highly efficient fin structure of shark, tuna, and mackerel.

Bacteria can generate renewable energy from pollution, help fight global warming
(10/26/2006) Currently, most energy production generates carbon dioxide, a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming and local pollution. At the same time that carbon dioxide concentrations are rising in the atmosphere, fueling higher temperatures, burgeoning population growth of humans and livestock is producing ever-increasing amounts of organic pollution and waste. Now researchers at the Center for Biotechnology at the Biodesign Institute of Arizona State University are working on a way to solve both problems using bacteria to convert organic wastes into a source of electricity. Bruce Rittmann, Director of the Center for Environmental Biotechnology at the Biodesign Institute, and his team of researchers are developing microbial fuel cells (MFC) that can oxidize organic pollutants and create electricity from pollution.
Bacteria can ensure clean water say researchers
(10/24/2006) Water is shaping up to be one of the most critical problems facing humanity. With water consumption far outstripping population growth rates due to surging industrial and agricultural demand, the World Bank estimates that 40 percent of the world's population -- more than 2.5 billion people -- are enduring some form of water scarcity. In China, where massive river relocation projects to shift water from the south to the dry north are under consideration, an official government survey found that some 300 million Chinese drink unsafe water tainted by chemicals and other contaminants, while 90% of China's cities have polluted ground water. Elsewhere, development experts say that access to reliable, safe and affordable water is key to poverty alleviation efforts and that addressing declining groundwater supplies and water pollution is be critical to raising the quality of life in poor regions.
Hospitals go green
(10/04/2006) Some hospitals are going "green" in an effort to cut pollution and toxic emissions that hurt the health of patients and surrounding communities according to an article in today's issue of The Wall Street Journal.
Shift from hard drives to flash may have environmental benefits
(08/29/2006) A leading technology research group says flash, or solid state memory drives may soon replace the standard hard drives in laptops. Over the past few years, flash memory technology has been claiming an increasingly sizeable share of the market, particularly in the form of USB drives. According to the Gartner Group, the NAND flash market has grown from 1.56 billion in 200 to 11.42 billion in 2005, with even higher projections for the next two years. This summer, Samsung set a new bar by releasing computers that utilize flash memory storage, negating the need for traditional magnetic disk media. The implications of a shift for laptops are significant for a number of reasons including changing performance demand, market trends and investment opportunities. Unconsidered at this point, but nonetheless compelling, is the possible environmental impact of such a transition.

In his keynote speech at DIY Days in New York earlier this month, self-proclaimed "story architect" Lance Weiler trumpeted transmedia storytelling as an "opportunity to lay story across the real world in a way that's never been possible."
On purely technical terms, he's right: A single story can be told around the world instantaneously in various media. Examples abound: Wieden & Kennedy's Old Spice campaign with its use of online video, TV spots, and social media; the use of games and live events for The Dark Knight; and the sprawling epic that was BMW's The Hire. Weiler himself IDed other tools in the transmedia arsenal: geolocation and the improving technology of near field communications or NFC.

The move, part of the county's efforts to consolidate county services and departments, will happen over the weekend of May 19-20, 2012. The departments will be open for business in their new location the morning of Mon., May 21.
The new offices will be located at 775 N. Lake Blvd., Tahoe City, in the building known as the Customs House. The lease for the previous CDRA office location on West Lake Boulevard will expire in June and the building is in need of renovations and too small for the 18 employees who work there.
Placer County purchased the Tahoe City building in the summer of 2010 and the Assessor's Office is currently using a portion of the facility. No retail tenants will be displaced by the county's move. The CDRA and CEO functions will occupy the first floor while Environmental Health and the Assessor's office will be in the second floor.
"Moving these departments into this more centrally located facility will enable county staff to provide a higher level of service to Placer County residents," said Supervisor and Chairwoman Jennifer Montgomery. Montgomery's Fifth Supervisorial District encompasses Placer County's entire portion of Lake Tahoe.
To ready the building for the move, the entire first floor was renovated and the tenant improvements will allow more space for staff, equipment and records. The Tahoe Administration Building that staff will be vacating over the weekend was 5,000 square feet. The Customs House contains more than 10,600 square feet of office space, including space for future expansion.
"When the county purchased this building in 2010, we did so with the intention of consolidating county services into one location," said CDRA Director Michael Johnson. "Tahoe staff will now be housed in a building we own and the agencies and departments will not be paying rent on other office space. This location is more centrally located, which will serve our customers well."
The new offices will have video teleconferencing capability so Tahoe area staff can meet with west county staff without incurring the time and costs of driving from Lake Tahoe to Auburn. The building will be more customer friendly and have a larger waiting area.

VA benefits set to slightly increase in 2014
Wednesday - 12/4/2013, 11:41am EST
Overall, the COLA for veterans benefits will increase 1.5 percent. That's the same increase announced by the Social Security Administration in late October for all Social Security beneficiaries. Under annual legislation approved by Congress late last month, the two must match.
However, until this year, the COLA for veterans' benefits was rounded down to the nearest dollar. That will change with payments beginning in January, since Congress left that provision out of its legislation.
"We're pleased there will be another cost-of-living increase for Veterans, their families and their survivors," Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki said in a statement. "The increase expresses in a tangible way our nation's gratitude for the sacrifices made by our service-disabled and wartime Veterans."
The COLA hike affects a host of VA benefits, including disability payments, death pension recipients, survivor benefits, and car and clothing allowances for veterans with disabilities.
Under the increase, veterans with no dependents, will receive between about $130 a month for a 10 percent disability and as much as $2,858 for a 100 percent disability.
Last year, some 4 million veterans and survivors received compensation benefits, while more than 515,000 received pension benefits.
The increase is among the smallest since the COLA formula was adopted in 1975 — putting aside those years when retirees received no adjustment.
Veterans and Social Security beneficiaries last year received a 1.7 percent COLA hike.
VA said it encourages veterans and service members who plan to file a disability claim to use the Defense Department-VA operated eBenefits portal.
Fed groups get in front of COLA calculation debate

- Recover Data after an Unexpected Shutdown
Recover Data after an Unexpected Shutdown¶
If MongoDB does not shutdown cleanly [1] the on-disk representation of the data files will likely reflect an inconsistent state which could lead to data corruption. [2]
To prevent data inconsistency and corruption, always shut down the database cleanly and use the durability journaling. MongoDB writes data to the journal, by default, every 100 milliseconds, such that MongoDB can always recover to a consistent state even in the case of an unclean shutdown due to power loss or other system failure.
If you are not running as part of a replica set and do not have journaling enabled, use the following procedure to recover data that may be in an inconsistent state. If you are running as part of a replica set, you should always restore from a backup or restart the mongod instance with an empty dbpath and allow MongoDB to perform an initial sync to restore the data.
See also
The Administration documents, including Replica Set Syncing, and the documentation on the repair, repairpath, and journal settings.
[1] | To ensure a clean shut down, use the db.shutdownServer() from the mongo shell, your control script, the mongod --shutdown option on Linux systems, "Control-C" when running mongod in interactive mode, or kill $(pidof mongod) or kill -2 $(pidof mongod). |
[2] | You can also use the db.collection.validate() method to test the integrity of a single collection. However, this process is time consuming, and without journaling you can safely assume that the data is in an invalid state and you should either run the repair operation or resync from an intact member of the replica set. |
When you are aware of a mongod instance running without journaling that stops unexpectedly and you're not running with replication, you should always run the repair operation before starting MongoDB again. If you're using replication, then restore from a backup and allow replication to perform an initial sync to restore data.
If the mongod.lock file in the data directory specified by dbpath, /data/db by default, is not a zero-byte file, then mongod will refuse to start, and you will find a message that contains the following line in your MongoDB log our output:
Unclean shutdown detected.
This indicates that you need to run mongod with the --repair option. If you run repair when the mongodb.lock file exists in your dbpath, or the optional --repairpath, you will see a message that contains the following line:
old lock file: /data/db/mongod.lock. probably means unclean shutdown
If you see this message, as a last resort you may remove the lockfile and run the repair operation before starting the database normally, as in the following procedure:
Recovering a member of a replica set.
Do not use this procedure to recover a member of a replica set. Instead you should either restore from a backup or perform an initial sync using data from an intact member of the set, as described in Resync a Member of a Replica Set.
There are two processes to repair data files that result from an unexpected shutdown:
Use the --repair option in conjunction with the --repairpath option. mongod will read the existing data files, and write the existing data to new data files. This does not modify or alter the existing data files.
You do not need to remove the mongod.lock file before using this procedure.
Use the --repair option. mongod will read the existing data files, write the existing data to new files and replace the existing, possibly corrupt, files with new files.
You must remove the mongod.lock file before using this procedure.
--repair functionality is also available in the shell with the db.repairDatabase() helper for the repairDatabase command.
To repair your data files using the --repairpath option to preserve the original data files unmodified:
Start mongod using --repair to read the existing data files.
mongod --dbpath /data/db --repair --repairpath /data/db0
When this completes, the new repaired data files will be in the /data/db0 directory.
Start mongod using the following invocation to point the dbpath at /data/db0:
mongod --dbpath /data/db0
Once you confirm that the data files are operational you may delete or archive the data files in the /data/db directory.
To repair your data files without preserving the original files, do not use the --repairpath option, as in the following procedure:
Remove the stale lock file:
rm /data/db/mongod.lock
Replace /data/db with your dbpath where your MongoDB instance's data files reside.
After you remove the mongod.lock file you must run the --repair process before using your database.
Start mongod using --repair to read the existing data files.
mongod --dbpath /data/db --repair
When this completes, the repaired data files will replace the original data files in the /data/db directory.
Start mongod using the following invocation to point the dbpath at /data/db:
mongod --dbpath /data/db
In normal operation, you should never remove the mongod.lock file and start mongod. Instead consider the one of the above methods to recover the database and remove the lock files. In dire situations you can remove the lockfile, and start the database using the possibly corrupt files, and attempt to recover data from the database; however, it's impossible to predict the state of the database in these situations.
If you are not running with journaling, and your database shuts down unexpectedly for any reason, you should always proceed as if your database is in an inconsistent and likely corrupt state. If at all possible restore from backup or, if running as a replica set, restore by performing an initial sync using data from an intact member of the set, as described in Resync a Member of a Replica Set.

Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels says renovations at Purdue's Hovde Hall had nothing to do with his becoming president this January, and that if he had been asked in advance, he would have asked that the work not be done. Hovde Hall houses the President's Office at West Lafayette. Daniels Tuesday issued a statement saying the work was part of a longstanding plan to renovate parts of Hovde Hall after many decades, and says he has asked that work not already be complete be canceled.

A reality-based television show that contains footage of accidents and violence.
Example Citation:
"A study begun three years ago in response to public anxiety about violence on television has found a steady decline in violent fare on the broadcast networks, one area excepted, according to the third and final annual report, released here today.
The exception is a proliferation of 'reality specials' with titles like 'When Animals Attack' and 'World's Scariest Police Shootouts,' programs that the study's authors derided as 'shockumentaries.'"

We managed to get a confirmation from three independent sources - nVidia's 2.4 billion transistor answers to RV870 and Larrabee is not just taped out, but A1 silicon is in Santa Clara.
As GT300 takes shape, we managed to learn one tidbit more: the die size of this 2.4 billion transistor monster. We are surprised, to say the least.
ATI claimed that 256-bit memory controller is justified with the GDDR5, doubling the bandwidth from GDDR3. But what happens if nVidia launches a 512-bit controller with GDDR5?

This blanket was purchased as a present for my husband who wanted a throw blanket long enough for his 6' height, warm enough for chilly evenings and light enough to be comfortable. This blanket met all criteria and, in addition, is lovely in appearance.
Great colors went really well with my living room and a very warm cuddly perfect size blanket
The colors on this blanket are much brighter than the picture which make it look cheaper in my opinion. Also, it is very fuzzy, almost furry. Looks like it will become matted when washed. It might be OK for some, but it wasn't what I wanted
I cannot believe the bad review about this wonderful blanket. 1st thing: it is Made in Spain! 2nd: it washes and dries-out great, without any change in shape or colors, and becomes softer and more welcoming for a nap. The actual colors are exactly like on the website, and the other side has a different, lovely combination. This was a Christmas gift for my husband, and he doesn't want to share it with anyone else. Also, it came with a slight odor that disappeared after I washed it.
Colors are dull and muted. Not at all as it is shown in the picture.
I bought two of these blankets and love them. They are exactly what I hopes for- nice and soft and easy to wash
I was looking for warm and cozy and got it with this throw-recommend it for napping or extra blanket. Washable although would wash separate. I also like the colors /motif

Our 52nd year!
More than 85 Sportsmobile 4x4s and their owners gathered near Park City, Utah, for the 6th Annual Rally. This year the events returned more toward the original purpose of the rallies — to let owners understand the abilities of their vehicles and as always, to have fun. Here is what it was like to take part . . .
The site was unique from other rally sites in that it was a flat pasture with lush short grass and a stream flowing through it.
After checking in on Monday, everyone gathered under the "big top" for orientation.
For Olympic Competition purposes, each "van" was assigned to a team with four other vans. The idea was to accumulate points during the Rally in hopes of winning some really great prizes. The members of the winning team each received a set of five brand new BF Goodrich All-Terrain TA's, so people took this seriously (or semi-seriously anyway).
There were a number of educational and interesting challenges for the teams . . .
The second challenge was the "Stream Crossing" which simulated crossing a gulley or stream on a pair of logs. The driver could not look out the side window and had to rely totally on his/her spotter in front of the vehicle . . . and the spotter could use only hand signals. However, some illegal butt signals were spotted!
After completing the Stream Run and climbing up the final bank, a volunteer secretly unlocked one of the front hubs, and a team member was then directed to back the van back down into the stream. Of course, when they tried to drive back off the bank, the van got stuck and the remaining team members were given 20 minutes to winch the van out of the stream.
The Face Off Challenge object was to drive a 4x4 obstacle course without the water balloon bursting when it hit a spike in the ring. When a water balloon burst, the van was stopped and team members switched places. Each team had five balloons, and the winner would be the team who drove the furthest distance when all five balloons were gone or within the 30 minute time limit, which ever came first.
One of the happy winning teams.
We wanted to show some pictures of the losing teams, but the censor said they were too obscene.
There were also other stimulating activities and challenges . . .
Duck races. Lots of money changed hands on this one.
Windshield bug bullseye contest. Some of the buggers were unbelievable.
Naturally the owners that were out on parole were the fastest with a slim-jim.
In addition to the Road Rally/Poker Run there was a Scavenger Hunt that included such items as the Book of Mormon (hey, we were near Salt Lake!), cowboy hat, Sportsmobile shot glass, old Rally t-shirts and pins, fortune cookies, dice, and so on. Most of the items were readily available or easy to acquire. Some were downright difficult and required some real creativity — and a little, what some called, cheating.
Now that's just not fair!
And more fun stuff . . .
The Food? Well, it's always outstanding. In fact, Fat City Caterers does such a good job they attend almost every rally.
What a nice way to visit with previous rally friends and form new relationships with the new-comers.

How to Measure:
What is Cosplay:- Cosplay short for "costume play" is a type of performance art in which participants don costumes and accessories to represent a specific character or idea. Characters are often drawn from popular fiction in Japan. Favorite sources include manga, anime, tokusatsu, comic books, graphic novels, video games, hentai and fantasy movies. Role play includes portrayals of J-pop and J-rock stars, Taiwanese puppet characters, science fiction characters, characters from musical stories, classic novels, and entertainment software. Any entity from the real or virtual world that lends itself to dramatic interpretation may be taken up as a subject. Inanimate objects are given anthropomorphic forms and it is not unusual to see genders switched, with women playing male roles and vice versa
How to be a Cosplayer:
- To be a cosplayer you first need a costume. You can make your costume, either by sewing or by putting it together from already made pieces
- Find your accessories. Some costumes aren't complete without their accessories. For example, if you are cosplaying as Kaylee from the Sci-Fi show, "Firefly", it's helpful to have her rainbow parasol. It helps identify you as that character
- Find a place to wear your costume! Halloween is not the only day you can get dolled up in your favorite costume
- Pose and be nice. Some people will want to comment on your costume and / or take your picture. Posing for pictures is a really fun part of cosplaying
Washing Method:
- Wash with cold water below 30 degrees without bleaching
- Hand washing and hang to dry
- Avoid exposing under the sun directly for a long time

02-09-2011- Other Thoughts: I bought this to go under a very short Goldielocks Halloween costume. It was the perfect length and fit well (even though it a one-size-fits all). I am a size 4 and it stayed put all night! It's very stretchy, so I thing it would be flexible to fit a lot of different waist sizes. It was perfectly poofy, just enough to help cover my back-side under the costume.

I am a plus size (18-20) and it fit me just fine, so its true when it says one size fits most. A little more expensive that most petticoats but it has more volume and layers than those I've seen in stores.

A demi-cup bra has a lower neckline than other cup shapes, so with the medium contoured padding of "Mercedes," you get subtle push-up and support to complement your natural shape. Although you still get the cleavage and push-up known from The Little Bra Company bras, the cups are slightly roomier with more elastic in the band. When purchasing a "Mercedes" bra, please consider trying a size that is closer to your general bra size. This bra does not fit as snug as the other styles from The Little Bra Company.

Visited for my partners 30th birthday and the kitchen staff prepared a birthday desert platter which was very thoughtful!The food was delicious, very well presented and the staff were very attentive. Location is probably useful for those visiting surrounding towns/cities but not much to do in the local area. |
Floorboards are very squeaky so it was a bit noisy when people upstairs walked about, not a massive issue though |

Child identity theft a growing trend
An emerging crime trend impacting families today — and children tomorrow.
Last year, a tearful teen was seen on TV describing how she and three other juveniles were victimized by child identity theft. This Midwest teenager owed $750,000 for homes and automobiles that someone else had purchased in her name.
The theft of her information had occurred when she was 3 years old.
The crime is called child identity theft, and it's a growing problem. An estimated one in every 40 households with young children is currently being impacted, ringing the alarm bell on a new need to prioritize and protect the sensitive information of every family member.
More from MSN Living: How dogs make our lives better
"Children are at 51 times greater risk of being targeted for identity theft than are adults, according to Carnegie Mellon University CyLab," says Robert P. Chappell, Jr., a veteran of law enforcement and of the Armed Forces. Struck by the number of fraud cases involving child identity scams he was fielding after a tour of duty overseas, Chappell recently authored "Child Identity Theft: What Every Parent Needs To Know."
"Children are targeted because criminals have learned that a child's personal information is of value," Chappell explains. "This personal information consists of their name, date of birth and Social Security number. Criminals understand that by stealing a child's information they have a longer period to abuse the identity before being discovered."

Identity thieves use other people's information to open credit cards and bank accounts, apply for loans, get government benefits and run up obscene amounts of debt — and can escape all debtors because their own identity is masked. Kids make ideal targets because the have completely clean credit records, if any credit file at all.
Since it's a crime of identity and not directly of cash or goods, families of every income level are susceptible. A 2012 report published by the Identity Theft Assistance Center (ITAC) indicated that lower-income households were disproportionately affected, with 50 percent of all child identity thefts affecting those with household incomes under $35,000, though a full 10 percent with incomes over $100,000 were affected as well. Disturbingly, "friendly fraud" — identity theft committed by a family member or friend — was to blame in 27 percent of reported cases.
Bing: A shocking number of identity thefts happen every day
Child identity fraud is hard to detect and difficult to resolve. According to the ITAC, the mean detection time for child ID frauds is nearly a year, while detection time for adult cases is under two months. A major concern is that the theft of a child's identity can go undetected for years, not coming to light until the victim applies for his or her first job or tries to rent a first apartment — at which point the victim learns he or she is shackled with false debt and bad credit.
Robert Chappell recommends several preventive actions for parents and children. The first step is to obtain a free annual report from one of the three credit agencies. Though untangling oneself from the mess of a criminal's fraudulent debt can be laborious and infuriating, each agency does have a resolution center and advice for safeguarding family identities (follow these links for TransUnion, Experian and Equifax).
Additional actions:
• Don't share your child's Social Security number. When asked for it on school or medical forms, ask whether optional information can be substituted, or whether you can use just the last four SSN digits.
• Tell your children not to place his/her birth date or address on social networking sites.
• Register all family phone numbers on the Do Not Call List.
• Shred sensitive information. Don't discard pages from bills, credit cards or bank statements with readable information.
• Educate your children on the risks of giving away personal information.

Born on January 1, 1919, in New York, J.D. Salinger was a literary giant despite his slim body of work and reclusive lifestyle. His landmark novel, The Catcher in the Rye, set a new course for literature in post-WWII America and vaulted Salinger to the heights of literary fame. In 1953, Salinger moved from New York City and led a secluded life, only publishing one new story before his death.
Early Life
Writer Jerome David Salinger was born on January 1, 1919, in New York, New York. Despite his slim body of work and reclusive lifestyle, Salinger was one of the most influential American writers of the 20th century. His landmark novel, Cather in the Rye, set a new course for literature in post World War II America and his short stories, many of which appeared in The New Yorker, inspired the early careers of writers such as Phillip Roth, John Updike and Harold Brodkey.
Salinger was the youngest of two children born to Sol Salinger, the son of a rabbi who ran a thriving cheese and ham import business, and Miriam, Sol's Scottish-born wife. At a time when mixed marriages of this sort were looked at with disdain from all corners of society, Miriam's non-Jewish background was so well hidden that it was only after his bar mitzvah at the age of 14 that Salinger learned of his mother's roots.
Despite his apparent intellect, Salinger—or Sonny as he was known as child—wasn't much of a student. After flunking out of the McBurney School near his home in New York's Upper West Side, he was shipped off by his parents to Valley Forge Military Academy in Wayne, Pennsylvania.
Aspiring Writer
After graduating Valle Forge, Salinger returned to his hometown for one year to attend New York University before heading off to Europe, flush with some cash and encouragement from his father to learn another language and learn more about the import business. But Salinger, who spent the bulk of his five months overseas in Vienna, paid closer attention to language than business.
Upon returning home, he made another attempt at college, this time at Ursinus College in Pennsylvania, before coming back to New York and taking night classes at Columbia University. There, Salinger met a Professor Whit Burnett, who would change his life.
Burnett wasn't just a good teacher, he was also the editor of Story magazine, an influential publication that showcased short stories. Burnett, sensing Salinger's talent as a writer, pushed him to create more often and soon Salinger's work was appearing not just in Story, but in other big-name publications such as Collier's and the Saturday Evening Post.
Military Service
His career had started to take off, but then, like so many young American men around this time, World War II interrupted his life. Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, Salinger was drafted into the army, serving from 1942-'44. His short military career saw him land at Utah Beach in France during the Normandy Invasion and be a part of the action at the Battle of the Bulge.
