Most rice miso is made from polished, refined white rice, pharmaceutical derived koji enzymes, soybeans that are often de-fatted using the caustic petroleum derived, hexane gas process and artificially aged in a temperature controlled environment. Eden Organic Genmai Miso is made only from the highest quality organic ingredients, traditionally aged, with no chemicals or additives of any kind what soever.
Miso is gaining recognition in the West as a protective, delicious super soy food. Eden Organic Genmai Miso contains a wealth of enzymes and microorganisms that aid digestion and help to build healthy intestinal flora while keeping undesirable bacteria in check. During fermentation the protein of the soybeans and grain are disassembled into amino acids, including all eight essential ones. The enzymes in miso aid in the digestion of protein and starches in grains, beans, and vegetables making it an essential addition to a vegetarian or mostly vegetarian way of eating. Fermentation breaks down the trypsin inhibitors in soybeans allowing for full utilization of the soy protein. Eden Organic Genmai miso is the highest in Riboflavin (vitamin B2) of all miso. It is also a good source dietary fiber.
Eden Organic Genmai Miso adds rich, appealing flavor to grain, bean, noodle and vegetable soups. It is delicious in salad dressings, dips, sauces, marinades and gravies. Miso soup is a satisfying way of regularly consuming two powerful health foods, miso and sea vegetables.

News: Rangers Sign Taylor Pyatt
Darren Dreger is reporting that the New York Rangers have signed Taylor Pyatt to a two-year contract with an average salary of $1.55M per year.
Pyatt had 9 goals and 10 assists for the Phoenix Coyotes last season.
In 2010-11, he recorded 31 points on 18 goals and 13 assists.
Nick Licalzi: Pyatt will be a good addition to the Rangers bottom 6. While he does not address their need for scoring, he will fit right into their black and blue style. Pyatt is coming from the Coyotes who played a game similar to the Rangers and will help to offset the losses of Brandon Prust and potentially Ruslan Fedotenko.
i can't see Revis getting another 16m from the bucs. i think his market will come crashing down to 10-12m a yr.
"The two men, Ryan and Idzik, were among the last two people in the Jets' training facility late Friday night. Although a meeting on Ryan's status could not be confirmed, a source said that their presence together in the facility was not accidental.
Besides the coach/GM relationship and Ryan's contract status, another issue facing the Jets is that at least a half dozen assistant coaches, including defensive coordinator Dennis Thurman, are working on expiring contracts. Those issues still need to be addressed and worked through, according to sources."
This is a quote from Tim Polzer with SI.
"Although it appears that coach Rex Ryan will return to the Jets, one of the complicating factors is that several other teams could be interested in hiring him if he is let go, raising Ryan's leverage as he seeks a contract extension.
According to a source, at least two teams with questionable head coaching situations would be interested in hiring Ryan, who has one year remaining on his contract with the Jets. In addition, two other teams would quickly move to hire him as a defensive coordinator if he were available.
"Rex isn't going to be out of work long if the Jets let him go and they know it. The Jets let-ting him go could actually work out for him pretty nicely," the source said.
While that could be seen as posturing by Ryan's camp, many people around the league are impressed with the job Ryan has done making the Jets competitive this season despite inexperience and poor play at quarterback. The Jets were 7-8 entering the season finale at Miami. In addition, the Jets defense is vastly improved under Ryan, who has played a large role in picking the defensive talent."
This is from Jason Cole, someone who has been quoted many times on this Blog.
I think they will probably gived Rex a 1 year extension but who cares? I am a huge Rex fan but why is it a big deal if a coach is in the last year of his deal? Players in all sports do it all the time. If the Jets have a great year then you can reward Rex.
Anybody who wants to know why Rex Ryan will be our Coach for at least the next 5 years and win a sh-tload of games just has to watch the reaction in the clubhouse and the looks on the faces of al the players when Woody announced he' s coming back. Those were pro's coming off an 8-8 season , they didn't make the playoffs and there was more genuine emotion towards their coach then you see in locker rooms after teams have won Superbowls. it gives me chills, and then to huddle up and yell "and the home of the JETS", damn I can't wait til next year!
That would be interesting as Revis is probably not going to just give up $4 million dollars so easily.
Do you think TB will just cut the cord with him?
Hasn't Idzik proven that the media doesn't really have a clue about his intentions?
@a57se Play like a Lion? Play like a Buc? Play like a Brown? Nah it just doesnt roll off the tongue. ITS PLAY LIKE A JET BABY AND REX AINT GOING NOWHERE!!!
@a57se "If he is let go."
Well, he won't be let go, so what's the point of posting this? The entire piece is speculative based on something that isn't going to happen.
@BDarc23 It's just the common practice in the NFL not to leave a coach riding out the final year of his deal.
I honestly don't get it myself, but that's how almost all the teams deal with that situation.
@Bernard Mclaughlin Was interesting to note guys like Winslow, Cromartie, Lankster and others who might not even be back next year looking just as excited as anyone that he'll be back.
John, you argued earlier today and yesterday that Rex has options and is probably looking at them so why would he accept no extension from the Jets if he has other options? That would not be good business.
That is EXACTLY part of the point. People who want to ignore any other possibility think they know how Idzik thinks as well. Based on the same lack of information.
As Tim polzer pointed out in the SI piece, the Coach/GM relationship, rex' contract and the fate of the assistant coaches STILL have to be worked out.
That is what I have been talking about. Some folks want to ignore the real issues that are left to work out and assume that all is gravy and I hope that as well, but that may NOT be the case. I don't think it is a crime against humanity to discuss the possibilities in any case.
@Brendan @BDarc23 It's because if the coach happens to have a good year in the last year of their deal, another team can come along and offer him a bunch of money, leaving you with no control over who's available and when. You might not lose the guy, but you will almost certainly end up having to pay them more than you planned to.
@Brendan I wouldnt know because I cant get the darn chat to work for me. It says it will email my password but never happens.
@levi We were talking about it in the chat yesterday, but I think Dunbar might be one of those guys that's perfectly happy with his current role and doesn't want a greater one. He's definitely had opportunities to interview for DC jobs, at least, and we haven't really heard anything about him shooting for one of those positions.
I think Dunbar is content as a positional coach and he/Rex REALLY hit it off, as did the DL players.
I think of all the coaching decisions, Dunbar back as DL coach is the easiest no-brainer decision they have.
And Rex has to weigh that as well. Unless he makes Dunbar an Assistant HC/D-line coach, the only other promotion is D-Coordinator which would eliminate Rex' buddy DT from the team........
How much, IF anything, is their to the rumors about Idzik wanting to bring in some of his guys?
@Brendan Dunbar will definitely have other offers on his table. He may be weighing his options before he accepts an extension. Same with some of the others. BTW I of course want Dunbar back. Hes proven himself with the Vikes and now here but someone may offer him a promotion.
That is a distinct possibility levi. But, if Rex is not being given an extension commensurate with his ability to coach a sub-standard team to an 8-8 record and the freedom to hire the coaches he thinks are best, perhaps Rex balks at that.
I mean, what does this guy have to do to get the respect from the team he gives everything he has to?
I would consider it an insult if the Jets don't offer him a very nice extension. A one year extension would be a slap in the face, IMHO.
@levi @a57se I think Rex would draw the line at firing Dunbar, and for good reason. They better not let Dunbar get away, and Dunbar retweeted seemingly 6,000 tweets last night by fans who want him back, so hopefully the team got the message. Dunbar wants to be back and the DL adores him, so they hopefully do the right thing there.
@a57se Im thinking Rex, Woody and Idzik sit down and discuss the future of the teams coaches as a team. Other than Thurman I dont think Rex would draw the line in the sand with Idzik/woody. Assuming Thurman isnt offered another job else where that is. Rex's coaching tree has done well and the others that are left probably have options to weigh.
@a57se Sure, I mean, why bother defending your point when you can just ignore anyone questioning it.
@Bent For that reason I expect an extension to be coming for Rex. If he takes the team deep into the playoffs with an expiring contract his phone will be ringing off the hook with offers.
@levi Haha, you know we have no problem going off-topic around here. Good news is news worth sharing, I say.
@Brendan Thanks I appreciate it. I know this isnt the forum for such topics but I couldnt help it Im as excited as Tebow signing with the Jets.
@levi Congrats, Levi.
I am extremely envious given that I'm working under a person who I genuinely cannot stand. I just keep my head down and get through it, but if you're in a partnership with another guy I can see how not getting along with them can be a real strain.
Good luck moving forward.
@Brendan OT but as a side note Ive been in business for a while with a partner and just today I signed my first contract without him. Its to difficult working with a guy I can no longer stand to be around. Big step for me and Im pretty happy.
@levi Yup. We did a specialty elementary school in lower Manhattan and the color schemes were almost identical to those I use in hospitals now.
As a small construction business owner I can tell you they have done studies on the calming effect of paint schemes and I have painted schools with such colors.
@djf1 It has a lot to do with the done and hue of the color and less to do with "green." I do construction in hospitals, they all have their "standard" colors that are all light colors that don't stress the eyes.
@levi @Joe/Orlando Yep, that's basically the way I try to behave as well. I challenge people's ideas here sometimes, but I don't believe I've ever attacked someone personally. I can't say the same about some posters here. And some prominent ones at that.
And I agree it is totally possible to respond to Hank in a civil manner, so that a rational, opposing viewpoint is out there for everyone to see, without attacking him personally.
@a57se @Johnsbodybyvi Ledo On a napkin, perhaps.
@Joe/Orlando You can respond to Hank or anyone else and still keep it civil. Its the childish name calling that shouldnt be allowed. I personally can get in an intense argument and never resort to that with anyone here. some I choose to ignore because of how they operate but most I enjoy bickering back n forth with.
@Brendan @Joe/Orlando Oh I agree, I've been tempted to respond to people like him myself and I'm pretty steeped in the "ignore" philosophy. And I don't really expect everyone to ignore trolls because history shows that it's not realistic. But again, trolls and the joy they bring is a different discussion than being able to disagree respectfully with reasonable posts which was my point.
@Joe/Orlando I understand what you're saying, but that's all best-case, perfect-world scenarios.
I know the easy and best answer is to just ignore them, but sometimes Hank and people like him succeed at their goal of getting under people's skin. I'm a passionate Irish/Italian, I can't help it if I get fired up easily :/
@Brendan @Joe/Orlando Oh, I see what you meant. But still, the answer is no you shouldn't, IMO. His posts that contain personal attacks should be removed and if he continues to post them in violation of the rules, he should be banned. Calling him names accomplishes nothing.
Or, you could think of it from a practical standpoint. In all the years that you and others have responded to Hank's insults, has his behavior changed? What has been gained except having lowered the signal to noise ratio of this blog?
But again, I'm not talking about interactions with Hank.
@Joe/Orlando @Brendan To be clear, Hank comes here and belittles/insults multiple people from TJB commenters to the leaders of the franchise, without thinking twice. So, you still shouldn't say anything to the guy talking crap to your face?
@Brendan @Joe/Orlando Well, my honest answer would be that people like Hank should be ignored, because I believe he only posts here to generate responses and chaos. But to answer your question specifically, yes, the philosophy should apply to everyone. What good does it do to call someone names? It only makes it appear as if the poster is childish, and has no rational argument to make.
Having said all that, I'm not talking about people interacting with Hank or other trolls. I'm talking about people being unable to respectfully disagree with comments that are not trolling. It does happen here and it does not seem to be consistently moderated. Just my observation.
@a57se@Brendan Brendan , why at times I have disagreed with (not often) does his homework, and does not pretend like others to have a better grasp on the team than the people who make big bucks to run it. he also realizes that 90% of the controversy on this team is fabricated by lazy reporters whose intent is to generate readership and buzz in the most competitive media market in the world . idzik and Woody say they decided to keep Rex a few weeks ago, idzik in front of the team said he's the coach, he and Rex hugged it out. ...Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Don't get suckered into being someone who looks for hidden meaning and intrigue behind the scenes. it's only there in the minds of the media who make it up as they go along to outdo each other. Just try being a fan and loving the team, love the Coach as much as the players do . It's entertainment and Woody would never let Idzik , as an ego thing fire the one marketable thing the Jets have had for awhile, a Coach who bleeds Green and players that will dive though walls for him.,.best example yesterday of why was his defensive line backfield yesterday, those three guys will remember that forever, they got to come out of the trenches and deliver hurt on people. That's why they love their Coach, you should try it too, it's fun!
@Joe/Orlando Serious question: should this same mindset be applied to people like Hank?
@Bent I'm not trying to defend 57, and I don't think you read every comment posted here, but I've observed that some of the posters who want to "make positive contributions to the board" are also some of the first to make a personal attack, and I rarely see this addressed.
If people could stick to "attacking the idea, not the person", I think a lot of the back-and-forth and baiting that is frowned upon would go away.
@a57se Okay, we'll do this one last time.
If I have run people off this blog, I'm happy about that. My optimism pisses off self-hating Jets fans, trolls and the like. My factual-based commentary pisses off the insane eye-testers like Hank. If I've forced someone to vacate TJB, it's almost certainly because they didn't like being told their cherished opinion is in all likelihood very, very wrong.
You seem to think I speak on your comments because I want to influence them, and you couldn't be more misguided. I never, ever expect to change your mind, but I feel it's my obligation to make sure that people on the fence know there is a very real, very different stance to things like your present "Rex might want out if they don't give him what he wants!!!" nonsense. You literally made up an issue to debate it, so while you may find value in that type of discussion, many people see it as pointless fear mongering.
Haha, and please reference me by name in your SNY letter. I hope you receive a swift response, but I assume you'll be given a cookie-cutter generated email letter thanking you for your comment and to keep coming back to the SNY blog network.
@Johnsbodybyvi Ledo@Brendan@a57se This is insane having this discussion. Rex, more than anything in the world wants to coach THE NY JETS, and his players to a man want to be coached by REX RYAN. You have 2-3 young players who will be FA's in the next few years, Coples, Wilkerson, Richardson they will MAKE Woody keep Rex .
@jaygo It's been a very systematic approach, starting with Woody using that firm to aid his GM search. It wasn't a big name, it wasn't a flashy name, it was a name almost no one knew, but the people Woody hired came away believing Idzik was the right man to fill the role. It seems that process is indicative of how the Jets have operated in totality this year, they don't want to be the popular kid in class anymore, they just want to be the top ranked student.
Woody and his minions got wrapped up in the warm spotlight, but have since reset their course and have the right mindset needed from the higher-ups. Very happy with this team's future right now.
Brendan, you have driven more people off this Blog then I ever have. Then again, I really haven't tried to do that like you have.
I don't need this Blog to be sunshine and lollipops to have a good day nor do I need your approval to discuss what i choose to discuss here. I also don't need to be constantly harassed by you anytime you don't like what I say.
I am not the only person you do this to with seeming impunity. That is my biggest issue with this Blog and I will be writing a long, detailed letter to SNY about this situation where you and a few others try to intimidate and cyber bully people to stick to a narrative you like instead of open, healthy discussions. Bent seems to be complicit in this as well since he NEVER finds you at fault, though you most often are.
@a57se @Bent I know Brendan wants to have on-topic discussions about the Jets and make positive contributions to the board.
You, on the other hand, seem to be deliberately inflammatory on an increasingly regular basis. If that's not the case, then you are being accidentally inflammatory on a regular basis, so I am making you aware of that fact.
Yesterday was a great day. Would rather look ahead with optimism not argue needlessly.
@a57se - Dude, I responded to John since he had stated he wasn't up on all the reading and let him know that this speculation is really just a complete fabrication and the team/GM/head coach are not at odds. Rex isn't leveraging the Browns job to get a 4 year extension, it's all just randomized speculation created by you and your ilk just so we have "something to debate."
We don't need something to debate all day, every day. We are allowed to simply rejoice in positive things that happen, like Rex being here in 2014 (which you wanted to happen). Is this how you celebrate? By finding new things to harp on?
@jaygo Just to clarify, the "this" I referred to when I asked why we're discussing it is this idea that Rex is going to leverage job openings elsewhere to get a long-term extension.
Rex wants to be the Jets head coach for the rest of his career, that's not just lip service to get Woody Johnson all chubbed up (tee hee). Woody and Idzik clearly want Rex to succeed. The owner and GM were both grinning ear-to-ear yesterday when they let the team know Rex was coming back.
So management wants Rex to shake up his staff? Was the team a juggernaut this year? No, the staff could use some upgrading. And keep in mind this is all speculative, which apparently gives a creative license to shoot off-the-cuff nonsensical ideas out there just because, no matter how illogical or unreasonable they may seem.
For once in Jetland, everyone is on the same page, and apparently that drives certain fans and media types batty. The owner, the GM, the head coach and all the pieces in between are content, they're happy with the direction the team is headed and they want to finish that journey together. I've been stamping my feet for years about keeping continuity and building a franchise, not just a team, and I'm ecstatic with the steps the team has recently taken to ensure that happens. If people want to sift through mountains of positives to find a negative, that's their prerogative, but you are really stretching if you try to drive a wedge between the front office and Rex. DID YOU SEE IDZIK HUG HIM!? That's not acting, these guys are all-in with each other, and that permeates the entire franchise.
Can't wait for next year!
Neither is Brendan. John and I are having a discussion and Brendan jumps in and says we shouldn't be discussing what we chose to discuss. He did the same thing to joeyboy earlier. Why can't you ever publicly hold him accountable?
more personal attacks....where, o where are the moderators?
Now we're not supposed to speculate on this Blog anymore because certain people get offended nd can't deal with reality.
@Brendan I wonder how our moderator would interpret your comment. Or is that the way to attack someone online w/o getting in trouble? You have mastered that as well?
@a57se I didn't issue a single personal attack in your direction, unless you are saying you're one of those people who create issues just to debate them.
There is the 'personal attack' machine we're used to from Brendan.
john and I are having an adult conversation.
Let's stick to Football, Brendan.
@a57se Great, thank you for breaking down the laws of the internet for me once again.
My point is, when people create issues to debate about them, they're sad, lonely individuals who hate fun, and bassett hound puppies, and boobs, and pastrami sandwiches and all the other good things in this world.
@Johnsbodybyvi Ledo
Well IF Idzik is also insistent on replacing some of Rex' assistants with coaches he likes and the Jets are not willing to extend his contract, that might be enough for Rex to realize that maybe, just maybe, Idzik really doesn't want him as his coach but is willing to sacrifice 2014 as well so in 2015 he can bring his guys in.
We have a ton of FA's this year and who knows, we could get rid of a lot of veterans this offseason leaving an even younger, inexperienced team for rex to coach.
@Johnsbodybyvi Ledo And we don't know that he is. That's what is dangerous about these discussions, lot of misinformation flying around. Both Rex and the team want to work something out so he's not a lame duck coach, they will work something out eventually. It's insane to think otherwise, and it's also pointless to create a rift where there isn't one.
@a57se Again, why is this even being discussed? The team is not coming anywhere close to this sort of situation.
@a57se @Johnsbodybyvi Ledo He can resign, but the Jets would have to release him from his contract. They can prevent him from working if they want or demand draft picks(from the Lions?).
The Lions have already fired Schwartz.
Rex does not have to finish out the last year of his contract. He can resign like other coaches have done.

Identity Theft: Providence Healths Serious Pain
Laureen O'Brien, chief information officer of Providence Health & Services' Oregon region, was in her office, just back from the 2006 New Year's holiday. A phone call that Tuesday, Jan. 3, brought news that every CIO dreads. Someone had stolen a computer bag out of a systems analyst's car four nights before. Gone were 10 computer disks and tapes holding information on what would turn out to be more than 365,000 patients—everything from Social Security numbers and birth and death dates to diagnoses, prescriptions and insurance numbers. Data on doctors was missing, too, including Medicare and Medicaid numbers, state license numbers, names, addresses and phone numbers.
As noted by state Attorney General Hardy Myers, who would soon open an investigation, this was the biggest data breach ever reported in Oregon.
The incident also exposed Providence to a relatively unknown, costly and potentially dangerous variation of ID theft—medical ID theft. Here, thieves can use stolen information to obtain treatment in victims' names, corrupt their medical records and file false insurance claims.
People whose health records are stolen and falsified may get the wrong medical treatment, find their insurance exhausted or become uninsurable, says Pam Dixon, executive director of World Privacy Forum and author of a report, Medical Identity Theft: The Information Crime that Can Kill You. Medical ID theft "can affect your health and well-being," she warns.
The World Privacy Forum says 500,000 people may be victims of medical identity theft, based on numbers reported by the Federal Trade Commission in 2003. And the problem may worsen, especially as more and more health-care providers move from paper to electronic records, Dixon says.
Then there's the matter of cost—not just to the direct victims, but the businesses and health-care providers like Providence that incur financial and sometimes legal liability because of pilfered medical records.
Providence has spent $7 million so far responding to the breach. "This was not a cheap mistake," CIO O'Brien says.
"I didn't have gray hair before."
As one of the largest and most highly recognized health-care providers in the Pacific Northwest, Providence takes pride in using cutting-edge technology to improve patient care. In July, it announce d that one of its facilities, Providence Portland Medical Center, was among the "nation's 100 Most Wired Hospitals and Health Systems" named by Hospitals & Health Networks magazine. The award is based on using information technology to improve quality, satisfaction and patient care and reduce medical errors.
Providence serves five states, such as Oregon and Washington, and regional executives oversee local offices and their technology departments. At most facilities across the company, employees back up data daily to tapes and disks and send it off to be stored in a secured building, O'Brien says. But at the company's Home and Community Services unit in Portland, which cares for frail and elderly patients in their homes, employees took the backups home themselves, in their own cars, she says.
Now, 12 months later, the nonprofit medical provider finds itself mired in the consequences, in an ordeal that may continue for years. As patients worry that someone has messed with their finances or medical records—and as two of them press a negligence lawsuit against Providence in county court—Providence is fighting to save its reputation for reliability and trust.
In its scramble to respond to the New Year's theft, Providence hired NTI Data Forensics, a computer forensics and security company in Bellevue, Wash., to figure out exactly what data was lost. Providence sent two letters, one to notify patients of the theft and the second to offer free credit monitoring and restoration to protect their identities. Patients who lost financial data also got phone calls. The company also set up special call centers to answer questions; bought patients two years' worth of credit-monitoring and restoration services from Kroll, a New York-based firm that helps companies manage security risks; and contracted with business and technology solutions provider EDS to audit its security practices and suggest changes.
Providence's attorney, John McGrory, insists there are no verifiable cases of identity theft from the burglary, even though Providence doesn't know where the data is or who took it. The sheriff's office in Clackamas County, where the theft happened, has no suspects and has suspended its investigation.
"I'm not excusing it or the conduct of Providence or saying it's OK, but with the society we live in … [loss of personal data] is happening," McGrory told Judge Marilyn Litzenberger at a hearing in Multnomah County Court in Portland on Nov. 3. "It results in financial loss in a very infinitesimal percentage of times."
But others, including Kroll, which is working with Providence, say identity theft is a serious problem, a crime where people are combining stolen information to get jobs, housing, health benefits and—if they can avoid being detected by the credit bureaus—credit, all in someone else's name. "I believe there are more breaches for the purpose of identity theft every day," says Troy Allen, Kroll's chief fraud solutions officer. "It's an organized, violent felon crime where people know how to get access to large organizations."

HIPAA Enforcement: A Wrist Slap
When someone suffers credit card fraud, he or she can seek recourse through the Fair Credit Reporting Act, which provides safeguards such as the right to demand correction of their credit records.
Victims of medical theft aren't so lucky. Patient data is supposed to be protected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), which regulates patient privacy and security all along the health-care chain, from a paper file sitting on a doctor's desk to a computerized medical records database. But violators of HIPAA have little to fear. Since the privacy rules went into effect in April 2003, there have been four prosecutions and no fines. A survey this summer by the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society reports that 22% of health-care providers remain out of compliance with HIPAA privacy, and 44% with HIPAA security.
HIPAA is "pretty much a no-enforcement system," says Peter Swire, a law professor at Ohio State University and the White House coordinator for the HIPAA privacy rules during the Clinton administration. "Imagine some other area of law you care about and 20,000 at-bats and zero hits," he says, comparing the number of complaints—more than 23,000—with the number of fines.
Confidential medical information has become so available that in the last 10 months, patient records, documents on insurance benefits and passwords to medical server systems have turned up online, according to Howard Schmidt, a former cybersecurity adviser to the Bush White House who now runs a consulting company, R&H Security Consulting. He says targeted searches for keywords such as "hospital records" and "medical passwords," as well as for other sensitive information, are being conducted over peer-to-peer networks, which people use to share music and videos and sometimes, by accident or malicious action, their entire hard drives. Both medical and financial information are being aggregated and sold online, he says, although he doesn't know how buyers use the underground information.
In the Providence case, the patients' lawyers say they are right to feel afraid. In failing to protect their data, Providence violated the privacy of the doctor-patient relationship, a rule established in common law that goes back hundreds of years, said plaintiff attorney David Sugerman at the hearing last month. "Given the egregiousness of their handling of confidential patient information and the widespread impact of their conduct, you could argue it was reckless and even intentional," he told Judge Litzenberger.
In February, after Providence conducted an internal review of the theft, it issued a press release announcing that "four employees have left employment with Providence Health System." Spokesman Gary Walker won't name the employees or explain why they are gone. But Steve Shields, the systems analyst who took the disks and tapes home and later reported them stolen, says he is one of them. Reached at his home, Shields says he was fired but can't discuss his case right now. "There's a lot about Providence that hasn't come out yet," he says.
Many of the details of what happened at Providence are under seal in documents at the courthouse. However, O'Brien maintains that the Oregon region's Home and Community Services unit, where the backup disks and tapes were made and where Shields worked, ran "a rogue I.T. department," where some practices, like taking backup data home, violated Providence's corporate policies. And on that December night, one Home and Community Services employee left those backups, with their unencrypted private data, vulnerable.
Now so are 365,000 of Providence's customers. Now so is Providence.
Organizations like Providence that lose sensitive data can never really know when their liability or the damage to their reputations will end, since identity theft and related crimes may be committed months or years after the data went missing. Kroll's Allen says new issues have been popping up at one of Kroll's breached clients for five years. Either creditors have failed to correct the victims' records, or the stolen data keeps getting resold and reused.
"Once your information is out there, you can't get it back, unless you're really, really lucky and someone gets arrested," he says. He believes the "vast majority" of data breaches, which are mostly thefts or breaches of policy like the one at Providence, aren't reported because companies are still learning to recognize and track them: "Only in the last couple of years has a lost or stolen laptop been considered a breach."
Without a handbook to deal with data-breach problems, technology managers must learn from each other. And there are a number of cases to learn from. At least 184 companies have reported exposing customer information in the past year, when their computers, disks or tapes got stolen or lost or their internal systems got hacked, according to the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, a consumer advocacy group in San Diego that tracks data breaches. Fifty-five of those were U.S. health-care organizations, up from 11 in 2005.
"There's a myth that companies know what's happening to their data," says Alan Paller, director of The SANS Institute, a security researcher in Bethesda, Md. "You can't stop the data from getting out. You just can't."
Fraud scams, hacking, carelessness, and weak privacy and security protection have compromised patient data across the country.
As an example, at a Cleveland Clinic facility in Weston, Fla., federal prosecutors allege that a receptionist, Isis Machado, printed data on 1,100 patients and gave it to her cousin, Fernando Ferrer Jr., who provided it to others who fraudulently billed Medicare for $2.8 million this year and last. The cousins were indicted in September for conspiracy, computer fraud and violating HIPAA, among other crimes. They pleaded not guilty and await trial.
At Medco Health Solutions, the $38 billion prescription drug benefits manager in Franklin Lakes, N.J., the Social Security numbers, birth dates and prescription records of 4,600 Ohio state workers were compromised last December. Ohio's Department of Administrative Services announced in February that the data, unencrypted, was on a laptop stolen from a Medco employee's house.
In what may be the biggest patient-data breach to date, various offices of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in the past year reported four separate laptop thefts, as well as the loss of a backup tape, a disk drive and three compact discs. The VA says no full electronic health files were lost, but these incidents have jeopardized private information, including disability ratings and insurance claim data, on more than 28 million military veterans and active-duty personnel. The VA has since spent $3.7 million to hire a consulting firm to encrypt all of its computers. Two laptops and the drive resurfaced, and the VA says tests by the Federal Bureau of Investigation show the data on them wasn't accessed.
Providence's disks and tapes, however, are still out there. They could be in a dumpster or at the bottom of the Columbia or Willamette rivers, which flow a few miles from O'Brien's office. They could have been offered for sale on the information black market, which happened to Sentry Insurance this year. The company announced in July that a contractor working for it in Stevens Point, Wis., was indicted for, among other data-theft crimes, trying to sell the private data of 36,000 Sentry customers to an undercover U.S. Secret Service agent for $25,000.
"I've not seen anyone brazen enough to offer medical information online to the highest bidder, although I'm sure we're not far from that," says Karen Spangenberg, chief of financial crimes at FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C. "We believe that on the horizon there's a crime wave of health-care fraud, identity theft and cybercrime."

December 30: No Holiday for Data Thieves
Providence is known among health-care providers as a technology leader. Headquartered in Seattle, the company was started by five women in the mid-1800s as a Roman Catholic ministry and charity, and has grown to run hospitals, clinics and elder-care facilities in five states.
In 2004, Providence started using electronic medical records, well ahead of many health-care firms that now struggle with them or are only starting to consider them. Providence's electronic record combines doctor's notes, test results, images and scans of paper documents. The company consistently rates among the top five health-care providers for how efficiently it integrates operations between doctors, hospitals, clinics and all the other facilities involved in treating, and billing, the sick, according to Verispan, a health-care researcher in Yardley, Pa.
The technology O'Brien oversees in the Oregon region, according to the Providence Web site, includes 60 clinical, financial and operations systems, such as Lawson Software human-resources applications, Oracle databases, McKesson health-care patient accounting software and SPSS statistical analysis tools; 6,100 personal computers; and 149 Unix, Linux, Microsoft Windows and other servers.
Providence performs nightly backups of these systems to standard tapes and disks, O'Brien says, and turns them over to records management firm Iron Mountain, which secures them off-site.
But not at Home and Community Services, which, O'Brien discovered, had its own way of protecting data.
On the night of Dec. 30, off work for the holiday, Steve Shields drove to his Milwaukie, Ore., home and parked his Plymouth Voyager in the driveway at the bottom of his yard, according to the sheriff's report. He left his computer bag full of disks and tapes on the floor of the minivan. Sometime after 10 p.m., someone smashed a window and grabbed the bag, he told the Clackamas County Sheriff's Department the next morning.
Several other cars in the same area, a neighborhood of large, comfortable-looking homes among giant pines, were also burglarized that weekend, although the thieves didn't take everything they could lay their hands on. The report notes that some "high-end items"—including a laptop computer in Shields' car and possibly some Christmas presents in his wife's car, which was parked next to his—were left behind.
The stolen disks and tapes contained copies of records on at least 365,000 people living in Oregon and southwest Washington, some going back to 1987. The records were created by various offices of Home and Community Services, which serves patients who are chronically ill, disabled, or so old or injured that they need special care or equipment in their homes.
But some of the patients whose data disappeared are young—children, for example, who went to the hospital to get crutches or some other outpatient care, along with the adults who agreed to pay their bills. Oregon has no law requiring companies to notify customers after their data is compromised, but the state of Washington, where some of the patients live, does. The wife of one of the attorneys representing patients in the case received Providence's notification letter, according to court papers. So did Judge Litzenberger and an unnamed judicial assistant. The judge and her staff are now excluded from profiting from any settlement with Providence.
Nineteen days after the theft, Providence gave police photos of Sony SDX2-50C cassette tapes and Hewlett-Packard rewritable optical disks—media of "the same style"—so investigators would recognize the stolen goods if they turned up.
O'Brien maintains that Home and Community Services' "rogue I.T. department" was the problem. For 10 years, Providence in Oregon has been bringing its hospitals and their information-technology staffs onto centrally managed clinical systems. So far, she says, seven staffs have been consolidated. But Home and Community Services maintained its own computer systems, and although the technology staff "had accepted that they were no longer a mom-and-pop shop" and were going to move their operations into Providence's Oregon regional data center, the switch-over hadn't happened yet. They still managed and backed up eight systems by themselves.
"The practice did not match our policies," she says. "This was the only [department] we had not centralized."
"Obviously," she adds, "the number-one lesson learned is not to have a rogue or a shadow I.T. department out in your business units."
Yet the burglary of Shields' minivan was not the first time Providence had lost data.
Between August 2005 and last December, four computers were stolen from Providence's secured building in Portland, according to Faye Jorgensen, Providence's director of regional security, who was quoted in the sheriff's report. They held Drug Enforcement Administration numbers (which are required by the DEA to prescribe drugs) and other personal information about doctors.
One laptop was stolen in September 2005 that held records on eight hospice patients, and another one in December 2005 that held records on 14 home-care patients in Snohomish County, Wash. Providence didn't announce these thefts until March, when it said in a press release that two more laptops containing information on 122 patients had also been stolen—one from the car of a different Providence employee in Washington.
"The employees involved in the 2006 thefts were not following Providence Health & Services policy, which requires that confidential data be secure at all times," the release said.
The patients who have sued Providence in Oregon, Russell Gibson and William Weiller, claim Providence was "negligent in failing to handle protected health information when it allowed an employee to store [it] in his or her car." Providence's McGrory says the patients have no case and the judge should dismiss it. But the patients want it certified as a class action so all 365,000 of them can collect any damages awarded for inconvenience, impairment of access to credit or emotional distress.
Many patients fear that leaked medical information may somehow hurt them or affect their jobs, adds David Paul, another lawyer on the patients' case against Providence. He says his office has received numerous calls from worried patients. "What if you're on the Oregon police force and taking anti-depressants?" he asks.
Paul says evidence collected in the case reveals "dozens" of times when Providence has lost control of information about patients—a notion that Providence's Walker disputes.
"This was not just one rogue group," Paul maintains. "[They failed] to have their data secure in a number of different components of their operation."
Policies at Providence, revealed as part of the patients' lawsuit against it, say that "electronic records will not be left unattended or unsecured in areas accessible to unauthorized individuals." Another policy states: "All portable computing devices must use encryption. Media removed from [Providence] facilities must be encrypted."
The New Year's theft slapped the company and customers awake to the split between policy and reality.
Braving the Public
When Shields reported the theft, he said the disks and tapes were "highly encrypted" and that "it would be almost impossible to retrieve the data," according to the sheriff's report.
But the disks and tapes were not encrypted, as O'Brien and other Providence officials later learned, and even though the data on the tapes was stored in an old, hard-to-read format, it was not impossible to retrieve. O'Brien says it would require a "very sophisticated" thief with "a lot of money and a lot of time." Still, she had to assume the worst case. So, Providence
had to figure out what data was missing and how it was going to respond.
That took three weeks. "We didn't sleep," she says.
O'Brien's information-technology shop had to make copies of the tapes and disks to try to replicate the stolen backups, which held data from 12 databases and systems in various formats. The I.T. team didn't have equipment old enough to decipher them, however. So, they hired NTI Data Forensics to crack the tapes and see if anybody could read the data. That company had to hunt on eBay for a tape drive old enough to read the replicas.
About 10 days later, O'Brien's staff was able to start analyzing which pieces of information were on the tapes, how it was laid out (names and addresses, for example, were not joined, but separated in different segments), and whether information was duplicated. If people's names showed up nine times, Providence didn't want to send them nine letters telling them their data was compromised.
Kroll contracted with its sister company, Marsh, to set up call centers and train workers, including temporary employees, to talk to patients as they called in. Different information was missing for different patients, so the staff built software that allowed call center workers to look into its systems and, without touching the data, tell each patient exactly what was gone.
The breach would have been easier to handle if Home and Community Services had followed policies on retaining data. That, O'Brien adds, is another lesson learned—destroy data when it's no longer needed. "There's data [on minors] we're legally required to keep for 17 years, but we were holding data for longer than that," she says. The systems in Home and Community Services were so old, she adds, that they didn't stop archiving information after it reached a certain age.
After the theft, Providence rushed to move servers as fast as possible from Home and Community Services into the regional data center, secure storage for its data, and design information safety training for all employees—which includes cards attached to their ID badges in case they forget what they're supposed to do, according to O'Brien.
Spokesman Walker says he combed the Web for sites created by other companies that had suffered data breaches—Marriott Vacation Club, for one—to use as a guide for the Web site Providence was putting up (in English, Spanish, Russian and Vietnamese) and for the letters it was writing to patients. "There's no playbook here," he says.
Like other breached companies, Providence claimed in its notification letters and in subsequent public relations efforts that there's no indication the lost data has been used to steal anyone's identity. But such claims "involve a certain amount of guesswork," says Jason Paroff, a director of computer forensics at Kroll.
For example, if a laptop is returned, one simple tool is to check the "last accessed" dates in the meta-data recorded about each file. A knowledgeable data thief, however, can make a forensic image of a stolen hard drive, like a detective or FBI agent investigating computer crime. "If you do it right, you wouldn't leave any trail," Paroff says. Even if the computer were returned, "The person with the laptop after that wouldn't actually know anyone had copied the entire drive." Paroff is not working on the Providence case.
If the machine is still missing, a company can do little else but watch internal systems for signs of hacking and wait for reports of customers' identities being stolen. "No indication of access," he says, "just means they haven't seen it."
On Jan. 25, more than three weeks after the theft, Providence began sending notification letters to patients, advising them to call one of the three credit bureaus and put fraud alerts on their files. It also notified state and federal regulators.
"We are truly sorry for this situation, and recognize the concern and inconvenience this situation is causing you," the letter said in boldface type. "Providence is also preparing some special resources to help you."
The call center was slammed with calls—nearly 2,000 on the first day. Calls would spike after any new information about the theft, such as a television newscast. Patients were upset; they didn't understand how to work with the credit bureaus, and they were calling different departments in Providence demanding that their Social Security numbers be removed from the company's databases.
O'Brien took charge of that task, according to court papers, appointing leaders in each region to find ways to eliminate or reduce the internal use of Social Security numbers. "This is the first step on a journey," said a presentation from O'Brien that is part of the court record. "Provide de-identified examples of harm caused to patients and employees at PHS from inappropriate use of Social Security numbers (tell the story, create the shared need)."
Attorney General Myers' office began investigating whether Providence had violated Oregon's Unlawful Trade Practices Act, which forbids businesses, including health-care organizations, from misrepresenting their products and services. (Providence's code of conduct, published on its Web site, says, "We treat patient information with special care ... We protect and maintain patient, business, and employee information in accordance with Providence policy and applicable law….")
Scam artists got wind of the theft and started dialing people, pretending they were from Providence and looking for patients to get them to "verify" the data that was stolen, Providence warned in a press release. Complaints of identity theft began trickling in to the call center, along with the thousands of calls from people simply worried or confused about the breach.
Although no cases of identity theft have been attributed to Providence, a thief connected to "a large ring of sophisticated criminals" was found using a patient's wife's ID after $8,000 in fraudulent charges had appeared on the patient's credit card, according to court papers. The thief was arrested on Feb. 1 while trying to pass a bad check. Police found a stash of Social Security numbers, records from the Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles and newly printed fake Wells Fargo bank checks in his home. The detective on the case didn't think the information came from Providence, but the wife told the call center she knew of no other breach.
By Feb. 2, 10,000 patients had called Providence. So many patients were having trouble with the credit bureaus that Providence hired Kroll to monitor and restore their credit, which meant more training of call center workers and another round of letters.
First, however, Kroll made Providence clean up its data. About 120,000 of the letters Providence sent came back as undeliverable, according to court papers. Kroll told O'Brien's technology staff to run the stolen data through the National Change of Address database to get current addresses, as well as a commercial database to see how many patients the Social Security
Administration had recorded as dead. Ultimately, Providence gave Kroll a list of 383,418 people—18,418 more than Providence thought were breached, although Kroll says some folks were reclassified and counted twice.
The list was further broken down to identify patients who were children, patients who had died (along with their living relatives), and guarantors—friends or relatives who had agreed to pay patients' bills. To everybody with an address—of which Kroll had 260,163—Kroll sent membership packets so they could sign up for credit monitoring and restoration services if they wanted. For the 123,255 people who were still missing addresses, Kroll kept their names on file in case they heard about the theft and called. By March 31, 19,192 people had requested credit monitoring, according to court papers, and Kroll had referred three cases of possible identity theft to Providence.
One former patient, Rob Holmes, quickly put up a Web site, www.providenceidentitytheft.com, to help fellow victims of the data breach get "spin-free" information about it, he says, by telling his own tale and creating a chat forum for others.
In an interview, Holmes says that Providence's call center could not tell him which of his data had been revealed. Fill out a form, he says he was told, and we'll review your request. About three weeks later, Holmes got a printout showing what parts of his file were likely to have been breached. It was derived, a Providence letter explained, from the first backups made after the theft. His name, address, Social Security number and insurance number were there, along with the phone number and address of his mother, whom he listed as an emergency contact. Also included were three diagnostic codes pertaining to his sleep apnea condition and a list of equipment, such as masks and cushions, he had received from Home and Community Services from 2001 to early 2005.
Holmes was so mad that he filed a formal complaint with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which asked him to sign a form consenting to let the government investigate. "I haven't heard from them since," he says. Health and Human Services says it can't discuss a patient's private information or the particulars of individual complaints. The Federal Trade Commission also received a complaint from someone about the Providence breach and has other records on the breach that it won't discuss, it says, because they are part of "a law enforcement investigation."
At Providence, O'Brien found the bad publicity tough to handle, because she doesn't know what else the company could have done. "People thought we were sitting on it for three weeks, I guess, twiddling our thumbs. But everybody was really busy 7 by 24 trying to do the right thing" to have a solution in place before going public with the theft.
The question for the court is whether Providence did enough.
In the Aftermath
The furor created by the data breach is dying down. By April, the number of calls coming in to the call center had fallen to fewer than 100 a day. In September, Providence reached an agreement with the Oregon Attorney General, and, without admitting any violation of law, paid $95,764 into a state consumer protection and education fund. It agreed to provide patients with at least one year of free credit monitoring (which it boosted to two years on the day of the hearing before Judge Litzenberger), and free credit restoration unless it can show the stolen data did not cause patients' problems. If it did, Providence will reimburse their losses.
Separately, Walker says Providence is eager to work on a data breach bill with the Oregon Legislature.
But the lawsuit goes on. Providence has so far produced 60,000 pages of documents, according to Paul, the patients' attorney. "Providence has gone way beyond what we're required to do," said McGrory at the hearing, trying to persuade Judge Litzenberger to dismiss the case. "There is nothing more to be gained if we go to trial. We're morally obligated, but we're not legally obligated. So, the lawsuit is not going to do any good."
In its response to patients, Providence seems to have done more than some other breached companies, according to a Baseline examination of 20 health-care organizations that experienced breaches in the past two years. Some don't provide free credit monitoring to customers, for example, or post regular updates on the breach on their Web sites or buy full-page ads in local newspapers apologizing to the public. Wilcox Memorial Hospital in Lihue, Hawaii, for example, lost a disk drive with data on 130,000 patients last year, and in a notification letter encouraged customers to contact the credit bureaus themselves to check for suspicious activity. So did Kaiser Permanente, HCA and the Cleveland Clinic in breaches they each had this year.
A Kroll director, Brian Lapidus, called Providence's commitment to helping its patients avoid identity theft "extraordinary," according to court papers.
But not all patients are satisfied. Some who complained to the call center were reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses, like notary public fees, but Providence hasn't extended the same offer to all patients, according to Paul. Others want compensation for their time. Still others bought their own credit monitoring service before Providence hired Kroll and think Providence should pay.
"They are doing too little, too late," Paul says. "We're trying to create a wide safety net."
Technology wouldn't have prevented the breach at Providence. It isn't as if a hacker penetrated the corporate network or an insider downloaded data he shouldn't have accessed. The breach happened because of what O'Brien admits was poor practice met with poor luck: taking backup media home and leaving them in a car on a night when thieves happened by.
Strong policies supported by strong consequences are what companies need, says Paul Stamp, a Forrester Research analyst. "It's all well and good to say, 'Don't do it.' But you have to tie motivations to things that make people tick," he says. "Firing is the ultimate awareness program."
Kim Gray, who is the chief privacy officer at Highmark, the $9.8 billion health insurer, approaches her job knowing that breaches will happen, she says, either intentionally or not. Highmark has spent millions of dollars modifying its applications to accept unique identification numbers instead of Social Security numbers. "We go beyond the minimums [required by industry regulations]," she says, "and a lot is driven by protecting our brand reputation and fulfilling customer trust."
Combined with policy, a few technology steps can make private data less vulnerable.
For instance, companies can shrink the amount of data moving around with precise role-based access to information. Give each kind of employee only the "minimum necessary" data needed to do his or her job, HIPAA rules advise. "A lab tech doesn't need to see everything—just what the blood needs to be drawn for," Gray says. "Not the person's address and date of birth." The fewer eyes on data, the more private it remains.
Along those lines, employees should be trained not to share passwords to clinical, financial and other applications, says Steve Kelly, a consultant at The Newberry Group, a technology management consulting firm in St. Charles, Mo. Also, log off whenever you leave your desk.
Equipping laptops with beacon software, such as Absolute Software's Computrace, can help companies track down stolen machines. The program, loaded into the computer's system software, instructs the laptop to call out—send a beacon—to Absolute's online monitoring center every time it connects to the Internet. Investigators can then trace its location by the Internet Protocol address revealed during the contact.
Encrypting backup tapes and disks makes the data on them unreadable without the right software decryption keys, according to John Glaser, CIO of Partners Healthcare in Boston. If thieves can't see the Social Security numbers and dates of birth on the machines they steal, chances of identity theft drop. Plus, he notes, state breach notification laws leave an out for those who encrypt. Generally, organizations don't have to report breaches if they had encrypted the information stolen or lost.
Paller at The SANS Institute, meanwhile, says he's seeing a surge in companies buying encryption products in concert with the publicity of stolen laptops, lost tapes, hacked systems and other data spills.
The outbreak of breaches this year "is the first security issue that directly touches CEOs," Paller says. "All the others are big issues, but they delegated them. This one, the CEO is honest-to-God worried about getting called up to Congress and getting his picture in the local paper. He or she simply says to the I.T. people, 'Don't let it happen.'"
Step No. 1, as Providence learned: Don't let employees take home disks and tapes loaded with 18 years' worth of patient data. "We want to be a leader in information security," O'Brien says, hopefully. "Having had a bad experience can only help us be that leader."

Kenwyne Jones struck the winner on his Cardiff City debut to earn a 2-1 victory over Norwich City and end a seven-match winless league run.
The Trinidadian, signed from Stoke City as part of a swap deal involving Peter Odemwingie, poked home the decisive goal five minutes into the second half to complete a stunning comeback for the hosts, who won for the first time in the Barclays Premier League under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
It was Jones's first league goal since December 2012 and came a minute after Craig Bellamy had put Cardiff back on level terms to end a drought of his own and set a new Barclays Premier League record. In cancelling out Robert Snodgrass's early opener for Norwich the former Wales forard became the first man in Barclays Premier League history to score for seven different clubs in the competition.
Fabio Da Silva and Jones made their debuts for Cardiff after joining before the transfer deadline while a third addition, Wilfried Zaha, started on the bench.
But it was the visitors who made the brighter start and they were ahead as early as the fifth minute after Martin Olsson broke free down the left and pulled the ball across the box, where it fell nicely for Snodgrass to sidefoot home from eight yards.
Cardiff struggled to make any inroads into the Norwich half, with efforts from distance the best they could muster in the opening half-hour.
Peter Whittingham curled an effort narrowly wide from 20 yards in the 38th minute before being immediately withdrawn in what appeared to be a tactical switch by Solskjaer, who sent on Zaha in a bid to increase his side's attacking threat.
That change reaped rewards four minutes after the break as Zaha picked up on a loose ball and slipped a pass in for Bellamy, who tucked it underneath John Ruddy.
A minute later, the hosts were ahead, Jones hooking the ball high into the net from close range after his initial header had been blocked.
The visitors came agonisingly close to an immediate response with Bradley Johnson seeing his curling effort from 25 yards tipped on to the crossbar by David Marshall before Jones almost inadvertently doubled his tally in the 59th minute, deflecting Jordon Mutch's shot on to the outside of a post with his stomach.
Norwich pressed hard in the final stages, Marshall producing a superb save low to his right to deny substitute Nathan Redmond in the 80th minute, before Bellamy cleared Gary Hooper's effort off the line.
Marshall clawed out Leroy Fer's header and Snodgrass hit a post in the final five minutes as Cardiff held on to lift themselves off the foot of the table, while Norwich are left looking over their shoulder, with just two points separating Chris Hughton's men from the bottom three.
Cardiff manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer: "Wilfried Zaha came on and made the difference. He has pace, power and great technique. I felt we needed some spark and the crowd needed something. He gave everyone a lift, that's for sure.
"I think Fabio did fantastic but maybe the most pleasing thing is to see the form of Craig Bellamy. Becoming the first player to score for seven different clubs in the Premier League is something for him to take with him. I think he's been magnificent.
"When you're a young team, newly promoted, you look at the experience of players like Craig and not least the goalkeeper. He kept us in the game and was outstanding."
Norwich manager Chris Hughton: "I don't think you could fault our efforts but if we make mistakes like we did we have to be scoring goals at the other end.
"When you give away the two goals we did it changed the whole atmosphere in the stadium. It is always frustrating when you concede any goal but the manner we did was so tough to take. We know this can be an intimidating place here but the crowd were fairly quiet and that was down to the effect we had on the game.
"What we did do after such a knock was respond very well after that. Their goalkeeper, as he did at Carrow Road, made some superb saves, we hit the woodwork and we had a couple disallowed. I can not fault the effort of the players but we missed some good chances."

Comments about Pick Pocket:
The pick-pockets will be my 4th pair of Sanuks. I wore out my first pair of Vagabonds doing everything in them for about 3 years, then bought 2 more pair (Donny and whichever has the rubber sole) and haven't been disappointed by either. Got the pick-pockets for running around on vacation...basically any time I need a place for cash and ID. Whenever these wear out, I'll be back for more. Best shoes. period.

Comments about Pick Pocket:
I hate things between my toes (flip-flops) so purchased these as light weight travel slippers for when I don't want to wear my regular shoes (trail runners). They are great for long flights or kickin around days or even to wear all day long on cobblestone streets of Europe. I've had them on many trips and actually ran all the way down the Masada trail in Israel wearing these slippers (last minute decision) and they are still completely intact. I was wary of paying so much for sandals expecting they would wear out or come apart quickly the way I use them but after about 5 years of travel and sometimes kicking around the house in them they are still going strong! Although the Sanuk face nubs on the sole are mostly worn flat. :) And I love to stash a couple of $100 bills inside the flap just in case! No bandito would ever know to look there.

Video: Subaru WRX flips end-over-end at Global RallyCross Championship
by Drew Phillips (RSS feed) on Mar 28th, 2011 at 4:58PM
Marcus Grönholm put on an impressive display at the inaugural Global RallyCross Championship by winning both races, but one of the more talked about happenings of the weekend was a spectacular crash by Jimmy Keeney in his Subaru Impreza WRX STI. Matched up with Hyundai driver Marcus Dodd in the Friday elimination rounds, Keeney had lost ground and was trying to make up time when he came up short for the 70-foot jump. The result was that the back end of the Subaru catapulted over the front, flipping end-over-end twice before finally landing on its side with smoke pouring from under... Read More

Narwin Javelosa has made a name for himself in the derby circuit because of his winnings. The two championship trophies that he got in the 2010 stag derbies are just some of the recent additions to his collection of awards.
Related story: The Gamefowl Beginnings of Negros Breeder Narwin Javelosa
Through the years, Narwin has gathered so many trophies from his various derby wins all over the country. Some of them are from stag or cock derbies, namely the championship of the 1994 Cavite International 7-Cock Derby, a runner-up honor in the 1997 Annual Candelaria Cock Derby, and two other championship trophies for the 5-Cock and 4-Cock Candelaria Derbies.
In 1998, he also won solo championship in the P3.5 million 6-Cock Derby in Talisay, Cebu. He then went on to win the 14th Chinese New Year 5-Cock Derby in Dumaguete City in 2006. He also has many other winnings in small derbies here and there. Narwin believes that these winnings are proofs of their effective breeding and good teamwork among his handlers and gaffers.
Since he became famous for his winnings, selling game fowls became a good business venture for Narwin. He further expanded his network by becoming a member of the different breeder organizations in Negros Occidental, such as the GF-BAN, the NGBA, the NSSA, Rambolan, and also Bakbakan, the national stag derby.
Narwin Javelosa may be reached in Bacolod City at 0920-9521006 for orders and inquiries.

Pests Caused The Super Bowl Power Outage?
Tweet Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans was full of twists and turns as the Baltimore Ravens edged the San Francisco 49ers by a score of 34-31. One of the most memorable twists to the game happened to be when the power to half of Mercedes-Benz Superdome, including the scoreboard, went dark with 13:22 left in the third quarter. The game was literally stopped as the players, announcers, and fans where all left scratching their heads. After nearly 35 minutes of head scratching, wondering what had happened to the power, the game resumed. The San Francisco 49ers, who were down 28-6 just before the blackout, staged a monumental comeback, only… Read More

Pacsafe Slingsafe 200 GII Crossbody Bag 10 10
I was disappointed Very unflattering color, material and strap was awkwardly thick. It's unfortunate travel safe bags don't have some of the appearance of fashion handbags but with safety zipper clip and strap. November 26, 2014
Great product --- BUT BEWARE!!!! The Pacsafe Slingsafe crossbody bag is EVERYTHING it is advertised to be. Waterproof, slashproof, a clip to keep the zipper closed, RFID-blocking, comfortable, roomy, extremely high quality. The problem is I became so secure in the knowledge that the bag was built to protect that I forgot to be vigilant. I used my crossbody bag on my January 2014 trip to the UK and Europe. On our second evening there (Jan 13, 2014), my family and I were in a London pub near Paddington Station. I was sitting on a bench seat that is shared with three other tables, my family was on my left, and my bag was slung around my body but on my right side. A man at the next table sat very close to me on the bench seat. I noticed he was close but didn't worry about anything, because I had built up a false sense of security concerning this very security-minded crossbody bag. MY MISTAKE. This determined man quietly and slying unhooked the clasp from the zipper, opened my Pacsafe Slingsafe crossbody bag, took out my little pouch holding our credit cards and ran out of the pub. I saw him jump up and run and then noticed that my bag was unzipped. It nearly ruined our dream vacation. Just a reminder that no matter how anti-theft proof a product is, you must continue to be aware of your surroundings and never trust anyone near you! January 24, 2014
Cross Body Bag So, when I received this bag, I proceeded to empty my purse and fill this bag, which was fine until I went to add my iPad. Then I ran into some problems, as it was too full and the ease of putting the iPad back in the bag without an issue, was an issue. I needed to slim down on what I put into this bag. It's wonderful and I truly didn't need to add everything I might normally keep in a purse on a trip, where this bag will be used. So, streamlining has made a huge difference. The bag itself is great... it has safety features throughout and sits on my cross shoulder very comfortably, all while knowing my bag and possessions are secure from theft of any kind. While in a crowded city/environment, I will use the lock feature on the latches and feel confident that I don't have to double check my bag, at every move. I'm thrilled with this bag. April 12, 2013
My favorite handbag ever! I bought this purse for our trip to Europe, but I use this everyday! It lets me shop with ease and I don't have to worry about shoplifters. Love it! April 4, 2013
Nice bag The cross body bag is a great bag for everyday use. I bought one a few years ago, it still looks great but bought the same bag style for everyday use. August 6, 2014
Great for travel. I purchased this for my trip to Germany. It is so much lighter than other purses with similar qualities. It is also a wee bit small, but that is not a major problem. Very comfortable over the shoulder. My key fob enables my car to recognize me and allows me to open the door without searching for keys after which I start my car and drive off. My cell phone automatically connects with the blue tooth in our car. This purse is so efficient that neither of these systems work. If it can block these items, imagine how safe credit cards, etc. are when tucked within the confines of this innocent looking purse! May 22, 2014
RFID'd Bought a smaller version of this purse, great size to wear under a jacket. BUT, each time we left our cruise ship to go ashore the stateroom key got zapped because it was in the RFID pocket. It wasn't a problem with credit cards, just the room key. The on-board security people said to keep the door keycard in a regular pocket. Other than that problem, love the purse for traveling. December 31, 2012
Not Bad The actual item felt larger and heavier than I expected, but it's still good, and works for me when I need to bring my ipad out and about. Love the lining inside! May 7, 2013

City Manager Steve Norwood, Oncor Area Manager Eddie Ferguson and Grant Coordinator Laurie Born
The City of Round Rock was awarded a $39,346 matching grant from Oncor's City Matching Grant Program for installing energy efficient lighting and HVAC systems at Round Rock City Hall.
The City Matching Grant Program helps cities save energy and money by offsetting the costs to implement energy efficiency improvements. The city's improvements will save more than 56,000 kilowatt-hours of energy annually, equivalent to the carbon dioxide emissions of approximately 4,000 gallons of gasoline, according to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency calculations.
"The grant from Oncor was instrumental in completing this project," said Grant Coordinator Laurie Born. "We're proud to take these necessary steps to make Round Rock efficient and sustainable for years to come."
Grants are awarded for up to 50 percent of the cost of energy efficiency project installations, up to a maximum of $50,000. Grant applications are judged on several criteria, including demonstrated financial need, the expected energy savings of the project and the speed with which it can be completed. "Now more than ever, it's vital our local governments have the resources they need to implement energy efficiency improvements in their facilities," said Oncor Area Manager Eddie Ferguson. "This is exactly the type of energy-saving project the City Matching Grant Program was created to encourage."
About the City Matching Grant ProgramThe City Matching Grant Program is provided by Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC (Oncor) as part of its commitment to reduce energy consumption and demand. For more information on the City Matching Grant Program and other efficiency programs, visit www.takealoadofftexas.com.

When the administration of the Western College for Women – now a part of Miami University – opened its campus to civil rights activists in 1964, the institution followed its long tradition of independence and innovation. An estimated 700 young, idealistic college students from across the north arrived in Oxford, Ohio for voter registration training before leaving to serve in Mississippi to register African-Americans to vote and assist with local community projects, like Freedom schools and the building of community centers.
Today, the story of Freedom Summer has the power to evoke important questions about American identity, public life, engagement, and commitment. This exhibit will focus on local resident Roland Duerksen and former student volunteers Carole Colca and Mark Levy. They have left the legacy of their work in the Western College Memorial Archives. This exhibit, which includes photographs, letters, audio recordings, and an interactive map of Mississippi, will serve as a narrative of their dedication to civil rights and social justice.
