Business leaders constantly talk about the importance of raising productivity levels within the workplace, and with good reason.
But what exactly are they talking about - and how is productivity measured?
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, productivity is defined as:
'The effectiveness of productive effort, especially in industry, as measured in terms of the rate of output per unit of input'
So essentially, it is the amount of work that can be completed in a certain quantity of resource - such as time or money.
On a day-to-day basis, productivity may relate to the amount of work an employee can get through in their normal working hours.
This variable can be affected by a number of internal and external factors - such as the skills possessed, the physical and mental condition of the worker, and the level of technical support they have.
Automating menial, repetitive tasks - and therefore reducing the number of workers required to complete them - can help increase overall productivity and ensure more gets done.
Business leaders should be constantly reviewing the productivity of their workforce, and investigating new ways of making the most of their people investments.
In a difficult economic environment, amid increasing levels of competition, this may just prove to be a competitive differentiator for your business.

Cumberland County Warns Elderly Of Telephone Scam
FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (AP) — The Cumberland County Sheriff's Office is warning elderly people of telephone scams that promise contest prizes.
The sheriff's office issued a statement saying an 80-year old woman was scammed of her entire life's savings. A caller who identified himself as Mark Maxwell of Lottery International was offering a million-dollar prize and a new car to his victim. In exchange for the winnings, the victim was to send in money to cover taxes on the prizes.
Over time, the man claiming to be Maxwell received $100,000 from his victim between May 1 and July 26.
There's no such business in operation and no prizes to be awarded. Investigators with the Cumberland County Sheriff's financial crimes unit traced the call to Jamaica and are still gathering information from that area.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My son has been attending this school for two years. He likes the school..Very good school.. teachers are helpful.. close to many place...
My son has been attending this school for several years. The staff and teachers are excellent. They have been very involved and helped us along the way with our son who has ADD and learning disabilities. They have worked with us to determine what works best for him and have been very open and willing to make changes.
Sometimes you don't realize what you have untill its gone. My kids attended this school for 2 years. The staff and the teachers here are just amazing. I mean amazing. from the front office, the security, the maintenance, to all the teachers, awesome! My kids current school is a huge let down. The teachers teachers truly cared about my kids and to them it seeemed like they had soo much encouragement, and they were soo happy going to this school. I would say of course some students here I wish didn't attend, some parents really need to step up and be there for there kids. If I could change anything it would be to change some of the students who are just too much these days. I was a very happy parent to send my kids here. It was so easy to get in contact with the teachers and anyone. They all seemed to care. You could walk in and be greeted by Mr. Carabello. The front office was very friendly, the principal and vice principal are awesome!!! very involved with keeping the kids happy, on track and parent involvement is a plus. It is very easy to voice your concern, and even just to say hello. They are very friendly. I love the PTA events as well. I miss my kids friends there as well.
My daughter was in kindergarten in this school. She was placed with a substitute teacher for half the year. She was not successfully reading. We pulled her from this school and placed her in Portsmouth schools where my wife works as a nurse. She was reading within two weeks. Not only that the transportation system stunk. She was missed by the bus three times. It took a couple weeks to get things straightened out.
my daughter attended luxford,now my grandaughter,it is a reat school
This is our first year at Luxford and my family and I really impressed. I love the teacher/student ratio. My 2nd grader has 15 kids in her class and my kindergartner has 18 kids with a teacher and assistant teacher. Their teachers seem are great. The principal is visible and personable and seems to genuinely care about the students. The only thing that I wonder about is that there is not a lot of reading or writing assignments for my kindergartner. Luckily she knows how to read a little and knows how to sound out words, but I'm sure there are other K students who need more emphasis on these areas.
I have a child with ADHD. This is his first year in a public school, and we have found Luxford ES wonderful for him. The 1st grade teacher that he has, has over 35 years of experience and has gone out of her way to work with him and us. So far he loves everything that he has been involved with and loves this school.
Lots of agendas passed down to the teachers without explainations or purpose. Many of the teachers are very young and have only been teaching for 1-4 years. There is no creativity outside the strict SOL requirements. If your child falls behind in any subject, they will probably stay behind because their curriculum has very little room for remediation, other than a special education program. Excellent PE programs. Only school in the district with a 'Running Club.' It is safe school with excellent security. If you have a strong-willed child, then this school is good for them.

This is a top quality oil, from the very first time you use it you can tell that it absorbs into the skin much better than other oils.

It's hard to know what you're getting with Argan Oil, but this product seems to work well and has all the right credentials; the only thing it doesn't mention is if it's been de-oderized at all, which I suspect it has. The scent is very mild compared to other Argan Oils, which can smell like you're putting hempseed oil on your face. It is a lovely, non-oily consistency that soaks right in leaving a radiant glow. I mix mine with essential oils of rose otto, frankincense, rosemary and a bit of cinnamon (for cellular rejuvenation). You can see my skin on my homepage for the result (I'm 41).

The Best All Natural Skin Care
Posted by Reviewer1882944 on Aug 02, 2012
Purchased at iHerb
Argan Oil was the only oil that worked deep inside the skin and helped to rejuvenate, moisturize, relieved and solved my eczema problems I had experiencing for 8 months. As a Blood Type B, I did not know I was to avoid certain foods. Aloe happened to be what is found in most skin care products and I did not know I was allergic to it. Since I am not allergic to any nuts, Argan Oil is perfect for me. I am very pleased to have know that Acure makes a perfect product "Argan Oil" which has essentially five in one ingredients to solve the worse of skin problems. Argan Oil is part of the solution. Eating the right foods and exercising is another element towards solving your skin care problems. The appearance of your skin happens to be a result of what we put internally into our bodies. Thanks again I-Herb for offering Argan Oil made from the Company "Acure" to your line of products at an appropriate price.

Last Friday we lost our sweet chicken Opal to a coyote. The chickens and goats were free ranging out in the backyard when I heard a bit of a ruckus. I looked out the window just in time to see the goats running one direction and a coyote running the opposite way, into the woods with a gray chicken in its mouth. My heart dropped and I tore out of the house in my slippers, jumped the deck rail and ran after them yelling at the top of my lungs, but it was too late. After an extensive search, all we found were a bunch of her feathers out in the woods.
I know this is nature and the way of life, but that doesn't make it any less upsetting. Opal was by far my favorite chicken, and one of our original four. A giant fluffy bundle of sweetness, she hatched out seven baby chicks last spring and was the best mama chicken we'd ever seen.
This means we are no longer free ranging any of our animals, which makes me very sad. I loved seeing all of the animals out grazing in the yard, and it's so much healthier for them to eat a natural foraged diet. The chickens are now locked up in the chicken yard and the goats and ducks are secured in the pasture. We can't risk losing any of the goats, especially with babies coming in the near future. They can still be out in the yard if I'm with them, but never alone. As we're in the middle of a soggy February, that won't be happening much for now.
The day after it happened, we were outside and saw a bald eagle fly up and perch on one of the tall cedars bordering our yard. It watched me and our chickens for several minutes before flying away. At least I can feel secure that they are locked up and with the net on the top of their yard, no bird of prey should be able to get to them.
I wanted to share a few of my favorite pictures of Opal as a tribute. R.I.P., sweet girl. You will be greatly missed.

6 Ways to Motivate Your Kids
Stephanie Rausser
Convincing your children to do things they don't want to do can be challenging. And making them stop doing the things you don't want them to do can be even trickier still.
We asked experts who have cracked the code of what does (and doesn't) drive kids to improve their behavior to share their wisdom.
#1- Reconsider Rewards
When my friend Jeff was toilet-training his daughter Alex, he offered her a small piece of chocolate each time she peed in the potty. Out of candy one day, Jeff told Alex he would have to use "pretend chocolate" for her reward. Alex hopped off the potty, smiling, but nothing was in it. "What's the deal?" Jeff asked. Alex replied, "I made a pretend pee."
"Sharp girl," says psychologist and Parents advisor Eileen Kennedy-Moore, Ph.D., coauthor of Smart Parenting for Smart Kids. Clever kids can often work their way around any reward system, she says. What's more, studies show that the positive effects of rewards are short-lived.
Of course, giving kids rewards can sometimes be temporarily useful to get them over a hump such as learning math facts. "It is true that rewards will motivate people to do activities," says Edward Deci, Ph.D., professor of psychology at the University of Rochester. "But what happens is the behavior becomes dependent on the rewards and will stop when the rewards stop. Adults go to work to get paid, but if the pay stopped, they would stop going to work."
This is true even if an activity is pleasurable. Researchers at Stanford University found that when children who enjoyed drawing with markers were paid to do so, they quit using them when they were no longer paid. In other words, the reward somehow extinguished their passion.
While using bribes in the short term isn't harmful for things like getting your child to stop having a tantrum on an airplane, external rewards won't build your child's character or impart the value of keeping his room organized or getting to sleep at a decent hour. What does? Encouraging him to follow the lead of what makes him feel good inside -- such as satisfaction in a newly learned skill or a job well done. He's not only more successful in the long term, he's also happy along the way, and inspired. "When a child learns to ride a bike, he's usually so thrilled with his new skill and eager to do it, it can be hard to persuade him to stop," says Dr. Kennedy-Moore. "That feeling of mastery is tremendously motivating."
#2- Have Meaningful Conversations
One-on-one talks with your kid are crucial for tapping into a child's intrinsic motivation, says Dr. Deci. Children are naturally curious, and inviting them to understand why something makes sense may appeal to their intellect.
Jodi Golden, of Baton Rouge, says she often bribes her kids to behave while grocery shopping with the promise of a toy from the dollar section, "because it works." But she confesses the kids are generally much better behaved for her husband, Brett, who doesn't bribe but instead makes everything a life lesson. After the kids have cleaned their room, Brett always points out how nice it looks, Jodi says, and how important it will be for them as adults to know how to keep their things neat and organized.
If your kids balk about the task at hand from the start, Dr. Deci advises parents to begin by seeing it from your child's point of view. Then talk about the importance of the activity in a way that is respectful. If your child doesn't want to clean her room because she's tired from soccer practice, say, "Why don't you take a rest and after dinner you can straighten up your room so you can find everything you need to do your homework?" Refrain from using language such as "should" and "must," advises Dr. Deci, and offer to be there to help when kids truly need it.
Asking your child how it feels doing a particular task while she's doing it can also contribute to the kind of happy atmosphere that makes kids want to cooperate. Questions like, "What do you think about doing your homework by yourself?" and "How does it make you feel having finished that homework now?" can lead kids to insights they might not have had otherwise about their accomplishments. Another effective strategy for getting children to turn a bad habit around: Show empathy by asking how you can help. Says Dr. Kennedy-Moore: "It puts the parent and the child on the same side against the problematic behavior, rather than setting up a battle."
When her daughter was in first grade, Dr. Kennedy-Moore says she fell into a familiar after-school routine: coming home, hitting her brother, and being sent to a time-out. When Dr. Kennedy-Moore asked her daughter if she could think of a solution, she suggested a snack in the car on the way home from school. "I don't know if she was acting out because she was so desperately hungry, or if eating was just a soothing, calming activity for her, but it definitely helped," says Dr. Kennedy-Moore. "Kids' solutions for problem behaviors often work better than parent-suggested ones, because children are invested in having their solutions work."
Giving your kids feedback during these conversations about the way they're handling their responsibilities can also motivate. Rather than dangling a trip to the park as a reward for doing homework, try catching your child on a day when she's finished it at a decent hour. As you head out to the park, point out that the natural consequence of getting her homework done early allowed time for fun later.

Small town feel. Great teachers who really care. Strong sense of school spirit. My kids love this school!
My daughter started school in OJH this year. We moved from a small town where there were only 42 kids in her grade. I was very scared for her to start this school because she had never been introduced to cultural diversity and she was a diagnosed ADD kid who struggled academically in the small town school. In fact that is why we moved. For the first few months of school she told me over and over, "mom, there is no mean kids in my school." I said there must be and she said no mom, everyone is so nice. She made many friends and learned how to deal with diversity in a wonderful fashion. I think the staff works hard to help the kids succeed. You could not even tell she has a 504 classification at her old school. She went from a C/D kid to an A/B kid without me having to help at all! It was like a miracle. I think the teachers have higher expectations and desire to have kids succeed here than she did in her old school. It was such a good experience she was redistricted to Maple Grove Junior and we decided to keep her at OJH. She really enjoys it there and is finally finding academic success. Yeah!
I just started this school this year and it sucks! Too many fights. There is also a lot of snotty people, they think they're all cool and they're better than everyone. On the other hand, the teachers are nice,but sometimes they hardly teach. Theres some nice people, but like i said before, theres A LOT of mean people.
Fights, drama, rumors, and all the good stuff that just makes me so happy to get out of bed and go to OJH! NOT. I HATE this school! Kids are so mean to the point where if they think you're looking at them you're suddenly on there hit list! Too many cliques. The teachers seem to think that every kid learns the same way and in the same amount of time. I went to conferences and one of my teachers yelled at me because I told him I didn't understand the material, even though I asked for help on a daily bases. (You would think that would be a clue to him...) The school doesn't give kids proper consequences for there actions. Save yourself now, DON'T GO HERE!!

When do yo play?
Best Bingo Phoenix 2008 - Reflections Bingo
3415 W. Northern Ave.
Phoenix, AZ 85051
This ain't your granny's bingo. Far from the dark, crowded, stinky bingo halls of yesteryear, Reflections Bingo is a blissfully smoke-free building with a snack bar, card room, and video bingo. Specials and hours change throughout the year, but most nights there's traditional bingo at 7 p.m. The game is the same, but the players have changed. Bored singles and stay-at-home moms get out their aggressions by pounding a blotter onto books of numbered boards. Don't discount the old biddies, though. That 70-year-old who reminds you of "Gram" will elbow your cards onto the floor to beat you to the Round Robin or Full Card — and a few hundred bucks.
I might give this hall a try again have not been for over 2 years.
We've since upgrade the smoke shops ventilation system with a huge exhaust fan to the outside and a wind curtain over the doors to the main hall.
Are you kidding me with this review? This place is soooo old and dingy, not dark but dingy! I'went to this place 10 years ago and it's the same today. I've been there since the smoking ban. Although no one can smoke in the main room they now have turned the no smoking room into a "smoke shop" and everyone comes out from there to go to the snack bar and lets all the smoke and odor out into the main room. You come home reeking of smoke. So don't let the non smoking review here fool you! The snack bar rarely has any popcorn, guess they just don't feel like making it and the food is greezy and over fried! If you don't mind smelling the smoke and greasy food but like to play bingo this is your place, otherwise go out to the Fort.

I cannot get enough of this show. The zombies have been relegated to nuisance; the real danger posed now are from other human survivors. Rick and the crew continue to fight the good fight.
I would love to get more backstory on some of the characters.
I'm bummed at having to wait so long for season 4!
This season and season 4 are my favourites in this series thus far! Great show so far! :D
What makes the Walking Dead series stand out in the zombie film/TV genre, is the script writer pitches humans against humans, in addition to humans against zombies. This opens the story up to a range of emotions: love, hate, revenge, righteousness, evil, etc. Coupled with good make-up effect, you have a winning formula for a long-running horror series. Some key characters are killed off in each season, and new characters - very interesting ones - are introduced. Acting is top-notch. No wonder my family, and many others I am sure, just can't stop the addictive viewing process once it has begun.
If you start this series, be prepared to get them all!! It is addicting, and awesome. My family has been watching 3-4 episodes a night, because you can't turn it off! Trying to get caught up, so we can watch season 5!
The Walking Dead – The Complete Third Season – Big Fan, Big Fan ... need I say more? Doctor-at-Bass! Taylor A.
Another great season. Keep 'em coming. Can't say enough good things about Walking Dead.
I'm trying to figure out why this series is so compelling and must-see viewing. I think it's the characters, acting and storylines which incorporate more than basic good vs. evil into the story. It's the shade of meaning, making life decisions, when there's more nuance than just right vs. wrong. The writers have the chosen to present the characters with dilemmas which have excruciating consequences, no matter what they decide. For instance, most shows don't have the courage to kill off main characters, and though this can be painful for viewers, it's shows commitment to real character & story development. Can't wait for the season 4!
I'm sure everyone knows the content of this series. It's about a small group of people surviving during a zombie apocalypse. Phenomenal series, the acting is a bit off but the story will grab 9 out of 10 people that enjoy suspense and horror genres.
I prefer to tell people how to watch this series. Do not base your opinion on this show from the first episode, it is rather slow-moving and it might seem trite at first. Once you complete the second episode you will be hooked.
Brilliant way of showing the lie that 'terrorism' makes us, USA, right. Here we have propaganda by the Governor saying that the prison people are terrorists when, of course, it's the other way around. Strange how Americans don't get it..... especially the Tea Party who say they are populists. >>>>> Much better season than 2 because of less 'soap', but still too much. They are trying to work out human issues, but, not ones that would naturally come with this kind of story. >>>>>>>> Definitely got the fx DOWN! >>>>> Seems they got over losing Durabont by having more Kirkman.
The show is supposed to be different from the comics or else everybody would be bored.

17 years and $400m in restitution for USS Miami arsonist
Casey James Fury, 26, formerly of Portsmouth, was a painter and sandblaster for three years at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine, when he set a fire on May 23 in a stateroom so he could be sent home from work. The blaze, fueled by the enamel paint on the submarine's ceilings and walls, caused $450 to $500 million in damage.
Fury was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Portland by U.S. District Court Judge George Z. Singal. Fury was ordered to make $400 million in restitution, though prosecutors admit that's unlikely to happen.
Fury had agreed to a plea bargain that called for a sentence of between 15 and a half to just over 17 years on two arson counts. At sentencing, prosecutors argued for the maximum, the defense for the minimum.
The first fire was on May 23 about 5:30 p.m. Wanting to go home, Fury lit a plastic bag containing cotton rags on top of a bed in a stateroom in the forward compartment of the nuclear powered Los Angeles class attack submarine in dry dock for maintenance.
Five firefighters and two shipyard workers were injured as they fought the blaze for 12 hours.
Fury, who has a history of anxiety and depression, was in a panic that day. With no sick days or vacation time left, he set the blaze so he could go home, according to court documents filed by Federal Defender David Beneman. Fury expected someone would see the fire and put it out since the submarine is outfitted with fire extinguishers. He never expected it would cause the damage it did, Beneman said.
But the fire spread quickly igniting enamel paint used on the walls and ceiling of the submarine, Beneman wrote. Naval and ATF tests established the burning rags alone did not create enough heat or energy to spread the fire. It was the enamel paint on the walls and ceilings of the submarine that fueled the expanding fire, according to Beneman. The enamel paint hazard was not previously recognized, he said.
Less than a month after the devastating blaze, Fury started a second fire using alcohol wipes on June 16 at 7 p.m. on the dry dock blocks on which the Miami rests. Again, he did it so he could get out of work early. This fire was quickly extinguished and caused little or no damage but did result in the submarine being evacuated.
Prosecutors acknowledged Fury started the first fire as a distraction but said it spread quickly and caused catastrophic damage. Fury rushed off the submarine to safety, alongside colleagues who feared for their lives as smoke filled hallways barely large enough to walk through while wearing regular clothing, let alone fire-fighting equipment, wrote Assistant U.S. Atty. Darcie N. McElwee. The defendant then watched from the safety of the pier as others risked their lives to battle the blaze, according to McElwee.
Fury's conduct, the prosecutor said, has far-reaching consequences and, because of sequestration, repair of the USS Miami has been deferred. While the Miami is out of commission, other submarines will be at sea longer. Fury's action, the prosecutor said, cost the United States the use of an vital national asset for 18 months beyond the originally scheduled 19.6 month maintenance period.
The court recommended Fury serve his time in a prison able to address his mental health needs. On release, Fury will remain on supervised release for five years.

Groupon India publishes 300,000 user passwords
Groupon subsidiary Sosasta.com accidentally published a database containing the email addresses and clear-text passwords of 300,000 users and the cache was indexed by Google. The trove of personal data was discovered by Australian security consultant Daniel Grzelak as he plugged a handful of query terms into the search engine, …
shakes head
inflated valuation, ipo, shady CEO, what next? I'm tellin ya, every time I see the name "Groupon" the ensuing articles just get funnier.
The question is
Will spammers be giving 50% off discounts
Really, really, pathetic
Any programmers involved should be fired and shot.
"Any programmers involved should be fired and shot."
Team responsible no doubt have a CMM 5 certificate.
We outsource a lot of coding to a certain very large Indian operation. Some of the code that comes back is truly shocking, as in; "the person wot wrote this is obviously a clueless fucktard of the highest order".
It may be cheap, but you get exactly what you paid for.....
Not much wrong with using the same password
for sites where you don't care about security much - this one for instance, & a lot of other news forums etc. The ones to be very careful with are the obvious - anything with the slightest connection to money/identity.
Groupon are a class act, though. A slow train wreck.
Not so fast: Not much wrong with using the same password
Yes there is.
1. Let's say 10,000 people use same username (gmail id) / same password for useless sites like
el reg and xnet and groupon subsidiaries. (But a totally diff one for gmail, bank, etc).
2. xnet, being a more security conscious than el reg, ups the security by asking a few personal questions in case you lose your password such as "Where was first time you had anal sex" etc.
3. groupon subsidiary loses all the passwords.
4. 10000 xnet and el reg accounts are hacked, no problem.
5. but out of those 10k lusers, 50% of them have the same security question at bank/gmail etc.
- So 5000 lusers give away access to their bank/gmail etc by losing gorupon -> xnet -> bank.
One would assume that if someone is security conscious enough not to use the same username//password for sites that matter they would also chose a different security question or do what I do, when forced to chose a question answer a load of garbage then forget it
Yes, because you can always choose your security questions.
So you have different security questions everywhere? Very probable.
And those people who are just doing as they're told, they circumvent this trap by filling in garbage (as opposed to something sensible, like a password management tool, or nothing at all)? Even more probable.
Any site insisting on a security question gets something like "lbbyiyiuhjhffjfyj" as an answer. One of my biggest bugbears with Win 7 was it's insistence on entering a password hint.
If a site is important enough for me to actually worry about what happens if I've lost my password, there's a good chance I've a record of the password somewhere.
If sites are going to insist on security questions, they either need to let the user define the question or at least up their game a bit so we can't find the answer with a quick Google search.
Allow me to explain.
- I am talking about 10000 people - deliberately. So there is bound to be a percentage who is
not as security conscious as some of you (who are el reg readers).
. eg: This is not going to happen to people who type "lbbyiyiuhjhffjfyj" for the security answer,
[unless they always type the same string :) ]. But what is the percentage of people who do that ?
. Are questions across sites really unique if you register to over 100 sites over a period of 5-6
years ? "What was your first telephone number " ? "What was your first pet's name" ?
. Combine this with people who have facebook walls open.
Basic reason for me to post was that someone made a suggestion that it's OK to use same password everywhere, while it is not OK for a majority of population to do so,
even though some smart people may get away with it.
And I certainly don't mean to challenge your individual intelligence here.
does nobody seed databases anymore to make it easier to track f there is a breach - heck even marketing does this occasionally.
Silver lining?
On the plus side, at least they weren't hacked!
Google is your friend
Just did a search myself; found an sql dump of yet another website, Full user details with passwords stored as simple MD5 hashes... (an online decryptor supplied plain-texts for every one I tried) ... This dated from 2009; What sort of admin puts such things where a search engine can find it, and leaves it there so long too!!
"What sort of admin puts such things where a search engine can find it, and leaves it there so long too!!"
Not so much an admin as more one of these guys.
As if the hacking wasnt enough.....
we have people literally leaving password lists on the web!!
Paris--because I bet that she would realize that's a bad idea.
Surely the best method for keeping online passwords safe is to have an 'airgap' and write them down on a bit of paper?
Groupon fixed the issue
User-agent: *
Disallow: /slqdatabase
there fixed.
Offshoring: They "just don't get it"
... and that's a good thing, because it keeps us in the UK in jobs, firefighting their appalling output. Problem solving, diligence, honesty, thoroughness, common sense and defensive programming practices are not included in the daily £5 rate of your average Indian offshore whalla. But in the minds of some (GroupOn CIO's), the math somehow stacks up very nicely.
Why are they storing passwords in the first place???
Whoever designed (Especially the ones that call themselves "Architects") their system should immediately be let go. Even newbie web programmers know not to store clear text passwords anywhere, but instead, just store and compare against an MD5 or SHA hash of it.
google filetype:sql e10adc3949ba59abbe56e057f20f883e
now delete it!
I don't believe them
> and corrected the problem immediately
OK, so they got in touch with Google did they to get them to delete it from their cache? Or did they just delete the db table? Somehow I don't believe these guys when they make these simple errors that they don't notice but someone else does and they seem to know immediately how to fix it. Wasters.
Password Manager
A password manager will NOT protect against something like this. You could have a 64 digit password and it would not prevent this.
Somewhat missed the point
Using a password manager makes using a different password for hundreds of websites actually possible. It doesn't help for the one specific compromised site but at least it is the only site affected.

In NH visit, Scalia critiques legal education
Among the problems Scalia pointed to were a growth of non-legal subjects in law school curriculums, the virtual disappearance of the prescribed curriculum and the increasing irrelevance of legal scholarship.
He traced the history of legal education, and the seeds of virtue and of some future vice to the case law method introduced by Christopher Columbus Langdell to the Harvard Law School in 1870.
"In the 140 or so years that have passed since Langdell came onto the scene, the practical virtue of American law schools as a device for the teaching of law has failed," Scalia said.
Part of this is because modern law schools see themselves as a place to get more than a legal education, he said.
"Today among a mixture of other subjects . an examination of the prospectus of any American law school will reveal a number of 'law and' courses - law and literature, law and feminism, law and poverty, law and economics, etc, etc.," Scalia said.
He said some classes have no law in them at all.
He said the problem is compounded by the ready availability of electives of varying quality and difficulty.
He said there needs to be more professors teaching basic law classes, but he does not expect to see that happen in the near future. He said in many law schools, basic classes are understaffed, as professors focus on teaching the more highly specialized topics they tend to be researching.
Another "discouraging" development in law schools has been the increasingly hard to understand, esoteric nature of much of the scholarship produced by law faculties, of no value to practitioner, Scalia said.
"In earlier years, many practitioners subscribed to the most prominent law reviews . as a means of keeping abreast of development of the law. Those years are long gone," Scalia said.
He said the academic mindset removed from practice is illustrated in the make-up of many law school faculties.
He said professors are more often valued for the quality and quantity of work they publish than the quality of their teaching, and this needs to change.
"The influence law professors have through their teaching . will far exceed whatever impact they are likely to have . through publication," Scalia said.
Scalia concluded by saying he hoped that most of what he said has no application to the UNH Law School.
Jordan Budd, associate dean for academic affairs at UNH School of Law said he is happy to say it does not.
"It was music to my ears because it is a critique we fully embrace and that our law school is at the forefront of advancing," Budd said.
He said the faculty has substantial practice experience, many in sophisticated, challenging legal settings, and produce what they refer to as "consequential" scholarship focused on relevant issues of law.
Courses focus on basic law including Constitutional law, tort law and professional responsibility.
"His critique of legal education is kind of the theme of UNH School of Law," Budd said.
