WASHINGTON — Your e-mails are not nearly as private as you think.
The downfall of CIA Director David Petraeus demonstrates how easy it is for federal law enforcement agents to examine e-mails and computer records if they believe a crime was committed. With subpoenas and warrants, the FBI and other investigating agencies routinely gain access to electronic inboxes and information about e-mail accounts offered by Google, Yahoo and other Internet providers.
"The government can't just wander through your e-mails just because they'd like to know what you're thinking or doing," said Stewart Baker, a former assistant secretary at the Department of Homeland Security and now in private law practice. "But if the government is investigating a crime, it has a lot of authority to review people's e-mails."
Under the 1986 Electronic Communications Privacy Act, federal authorities need only a subpoena approved by a federal prosecutor — not a judge — to obtain electronic messages that are six months old or older. To get more recent communications, a warrant from a judge is required. This is a higher standard that requires proof of probable cause that a crime is being committed.
Public interest groups are pressing Congress for the law to be updated because it was written a quarter-century ago when most e-mails were deleted after a few months because the cost of storing them indefinitely was prohibitive. Now, "cloud computing" services provide huge amounts of inexpensive storage capacity. Other technological advances, such as mobile phones, have dramatically increased the amount of communications that are kept in electronic warehouses and can be reviewed by law enforcement authorities carrying a subpoena.
A subpoena is usually sufficient to require Internet companies to reveal names and any other information that they have that would identify the owner of a particular e-mail account. Google, which operates the widely used Gmail service, complied with more than 90 percent of the nearly 12,300 requests it received in 2011 from the U.S. government for data about its users, according to figures from the company.
A Gmail account figured prominently in the FBI investigation that led to Petraeus' stunning resignation last week as the nation's spy chief. Petraeus, a retired Army general, stepped down after he confessed to an extramarital affair with Paula Broadwell, an Army Reserve officer and his biographer.
The inquiry began earlier this year after Jill Kelley, a Florida woman who was friends with Petraeus and his wife, Holly, began receiving harassing e-mails. Kelley is a Tampa socialite.
FBI agents eventually determined that the e-mail trail led to Broadwell, according to two federal law enforcement officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the sources were not authorized to speak about the matter on the record. As they looked further, the FBI agents came across a private Gmail account that used an alias name. On further investigation, the account turned out to be Petraeus'.
Petraeus and Broadwell apparently used a trick to conceal their e-mail traffic.
One of the law enforcement officials said they did not transmit all of their communications as e-mails from one's inbox to the other's. Rather, they composed some e-mails in a Gmail account and instead of transmitting them, left them in a draft folder or in an electronic "dropbox." Then the other person could log onto the same account and read the draft e-mails there.

A Fort Carson Army sergeant has been sentenced to 35 years in a military prison after being found guilty of sexual assault charges.
A military panel Friday found Alberto Silva-Sadder guilty of 21 charges. They include two counts of aggravated sexual assault, three counts of forcible sodomy, two counts of possession of child pornography and a kidnapping charge.
Silva-Sadder was assigned to the post's 10th Combat Support Hospital. Four women came forward with allegations of sexual misconduct dating back to 2009.
Silva-Sadder had pleaded not guilty and defense attorneys had claimed the assaults were acts of consensual sex.

2012: The Year of the Dragon
With UAE-Chinese relations improving significantly, Kipp takes a look at what's so special about the Year of the Dragon
January 22, 2012 4:26 by Eva Fernandes
It is interesting to note that out of all the animals that feature in Chinese astrology, the dragon is the only fictional animal. Unlike the Western understanding of the dragon as an animal of terror, the Chinese dragon is considered to be a symbol of power, superiority and rule.
The Chinese believe that those born in the year of the dragon tend to emulate the wise dragon. While one born in the year of the Dragon (like the very Kipper writing this up) tend to be active and ambitious do-ers, they can also be hot-headed (they blow fire if you test their temper) yet they have a soft spot (quite like the dragon's softer underbelly).
The Year of the Dragon is usually considered auspicious, and yet the predictions made by the Feng Shui Index (oh yeah, this mix of astrology and market research is real) released by Hong Kong-based brokerage firm CLSA, suggest otherwise. The reason being, this particular dragon year is associated with water, which is known to be far less lucky than fire and metal when it comes to investing.
But it isn't all bad. The Feng Shui Index predicts 2012 will end positively especially in October and November, when "the metal element dominates".
It doesn't take too much effort to Google the predicted events for 2012. With a plenty to choose from those sites titled doomsday/ Armagadon/ What to expect in 2012, we have picked out some of the top events predicted to occur in 2012.
March 01 - Greek Drachma bank notes are exchangable for Euro until this time.
April 15 - It will be the RMS Titanic`s 100 anniversary since the sinking in 1912.
July 27 - Opening ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympics begins in London at 7:30 pm
November 6 - United States presidential election, 2012
December 31 - Expiration of the Kyoto Protocol
This year, as Jones Lang LaSalle will have you believe, will be the year in which the tenant finally becomes the king in the UAE realty. Though, we'd like to believe them we can't help but dismiss it when we think of certain tenants being locked out of their own homes at the Shoreline development on The Palm (not to name names). Either way, here are some predicted trends for 2012:
Daily deals get refined: Hoorah! We were getting tired of all the moosavings, yallabannas and what not.
Mass markets will be micro-fragmenting: Forbes predicts that 2012 will be the year more and more market segments will shatter. Think more personalized products and more customized customer care.
The TV finally becomes Smart…again: there has been much talk about finally making the average home TV as smart as all the other shiny pieces of technology in the average person's home. Some think 2012 will finally be the year TV makes the transition.
Sophistication of social: the explosion of social media a few years back has not been very well received by a good chunk of those in the business world-just ask Kipp! Could 2012 finally be the year in which brands here in the UAE jump on the bandwagon and embrace the technology for all its worth?
The legend has it that Buddha called all the animals to meet him on the Chinese New Year. However only 12 animals met him and he named each year in honor of each animal. As such, each person who is born in a particular animal's year, tends to embody some of the animal's characteristics. As we mentioned before, those born in the Year of the Dragon tend to be active go getters and do-ers, yet they have a quick temper but also a soft spot. If you are born in The Year of the Dragon, what will 2012 have in store for you? Here is one prediction we liked:
"Such people such double their efforts in whatever they do - work, education and other projects. Their natural talent and abilities should stand out with great results.
However, watch out for that temper! Keep it in check and do not spoil your good work."
The celebrations for the Chinese New Year extend for 15 days and end with a Lantern Festival on the day of the full moon. The festival is usually synonymous with mounds of excellent food, firecrfackers, dragon parades, gifts (especially money). Family members generally congregate for a feast on New Year's Eve. In addition many hang glowing lanterns in the temples or carry lanterns during the evening parage during the lantern festival. And yet, the 100 meter long dragon dance does tend to be the highlight of Chinese New Year.

Editor's Note: In late Nov. 2012, Jim Cramer delivered the following speech at The Deal Economy 2013 event held at the New York Stock Exchange. During this speech, Cramer noted that Hess, then at $50 per share, was ripe for a spin-off. Monday, Jan. 28, 2013, Hess announced plans to exit its refining and marketing business to unlock value; analysts estimate about $7.00 per share in proceeds, sending the stock markedly higher.Separately, Cramer noted that Hess' assets were worth more than the sum of their parts -- particularly the crown jewel Bakken acreage which has also benefitted companies like EOG and Continental Resources. This week, Elliott Associates is advocating the company spin-off its onshore U.S. shale assets, create an onshore MLP and divest international assets to close the gap to net asset value -- which Elliott pegs at $126/share. Read Jim Cramer's complete and prescient take on Hess, as well as nine other speculative stock ideas, reprinted in the speech below. NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- It's a deal conference. It's TheDeal conference. So let's talk deals, namely the ten deals I see happening in 2013, ten companies that will be transformed in one way or another that will lead to dramatically higher prices. Yep, I have ten stocks that I think are worth owning on a speculative basis for next year, although my normal rules apply, I would never recommend a stock on the basis of a corporate control event unless the fundamentals warranted owning it anyway. You aren't going to hear me tout Dell (DELL) or Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) on a merger of equals, for example, because they are both equally bad and I wouldn't own either. Who would have Autonomy in that deal? Couldn't resist a little M&A black humor. As tempting as it is to suggest that Microsoft (MSFT) buy Research in Motion (RIMM), I think that the near 100% move off the bottom that the Blackberry maker has undergone, does preclude informed speculation in that ailing company. Sell sell sell right into the Goldman Sachs (GS) upgrade this morning. Most transactions in 2012 were done because of fright, a fear of missing numbers, fear of no growth, and fear of being trapped in a relentlessly negative cohort. The latter is a widely overlooked factor in deal making, call it the ETF ball and chain. Companies, good and bad are now all parts of ETFs and the hedge funds, desirous of trading vehicles with bigger volume and a reluctance to get trapped individual securities now use these as trading instruments of choice. The hedge funds have homogenized and pasteurized individual companies through the power of ETFs. The ETFs are now responsible for a gigantic amount of the performance or lack thereof of an individual company's stock. That's too bad for the CEOs, most of whom are graded by sector when it comes to the compensation committees of the boards of directors and the consultants they rely on to handle and tally performance bonuses. The only way to assure a raise is to outperform the sector ETF, something which I believe will force a major amount of deal making in 2013. Why am I so sure of that? Because as I reviewed the top 25 acquisitions, spins and breakups, I found that the vast majority of the acquirers and the initiators of transactions went higher. It was almost uniform and I have to believe with confidence improving, deal provokers in this room will be armed with the stats that I am putting together now that shows a "don't just stand there, do something," attitude is an attitude that has paid off for shareholders and managements alike. Do you know how hard it is to move a food giant like Conagra (CAG) one dollar and 47 cents? Yet it did so when it paid $5 billion for rival Ralcorp (RAH). PVH (PVH), the old Phillips Van Heusen, managed to rally 23 points from $91, when it bought out its Calvin Klein partner Warnaco. Believe me, nobody else in their industries had that kind of performance. Do a deal, or watch your stock die on the ETF vine, I say. With that preamble, what deals am I looking for to happen next year? Let's start with the "breaking up is easy to do," transactions that I am anticipating. On Mad Money we have highlighted ten deals where companies have taken it into their own hands to split up their organizations, typically into fast growing divisions with faster growth, and slower-growing divisions with large dividends. That way the growth funds will have their chit and the balanced funds will have theirs in the world of mutual fund asset management. The archetype for this transaction is the Altria-Phillip Morris split up of a few years ago where a tremendous amount of value was created simply by dividing one hybrid tobacco company into a plodding domestic tobacco entity, Altria (MO), with an outsized dividend and a faster growing international play, Phillip Morris (PM), with a much smaller, but still larger than average dividend. That's the template. It worked. Now it is being imitated everywhere. Who's next? Who else can do that? Let's start with a small one, Manitowoc (MTW).

- "The ultimate american dream - Get someone else to park your car."
- — GTA San Andreas Website.
The Valet missions are a series of side missions in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. These missions are triggered when Carl Johnson walks into the red marker at the front of the Vank Hoff Hotel in Financial, San Fierro, just north of the Big Pointy Building, when wearing the Valet Uniform. The side mission and uniform are only available after completion of the mission 555 We Tip.
The objective is to collect a hotel patron's vehicle from the front of the hotel (they will drive into the driveway) and drive it round to the underground parking lot. The player will get a bonus for every car in terms of parking the car well and keeping it damage free.
Mission Levels
- Level 1: Park three cars in two minutes
- Level 2: Park four cars in two minutes
- Level 3: Park five cars in two minutes
- Level 4: Park six cars in two minutes
- Level 5: Park seven cars in two minutes
The reward for completing every level is $1000. The Vank Hoff Hotel also becomes an asset, and would generate a maximum of $2000.
The Valet mission is not on the map so to find it, just follow the tram tracks.
- When the player kills or hits one of the valet employees, usually his friends will start to attack the player; the player also will get a one star wanted level.
- If you kill one of the employees, your time will be reduced in 20 seconds as a penalty.
- The mission can be a great way to take cars for the Exports and Imports. You can see many cars which can be on the Import/Export list. Simply jack a car and bring it to the ship.
- Carl can use the valet service as same as the hotel's guest. When Carl parked his car on the driveway, the valet employee will drive Carl's car to the parking lot. This won't work using bicycles or some cars.
- It is not possible to jack a car that another valet has already taken during the Valet mission.
- Valets can be seen roaming the streets of Las Venturas and North Los Santos but do not have any jobs at any establishments.
- The target vehicles is not affected with cheat "fast cars" or "weak cars".

SCI's Kenya Program: Sunny Solutions and Beyond
this wiki
By Karyn Ellis, Solar Cookers International's former Director of International Program Development
Karyn Ellis (left) helped distribute solar cookers, pots, and "hay baskets" in Kajiado as part of a training program funded by SCI and the Lift Up Africa organization.
Solar Cookers International's Sunny Solutions project began in the northern region of Nyakach, Kenya in 2003, and expanded in 2005 to Kadibo, near Lake Victoria, and just south of Nairobi in Kajiado. The project was initiated to introduce and market affordable solar cookers to people in rural areas. Each of these communities benefit from abundant sunshine, but what little vegetation is available is quickly taken and used for fuel, and — as in many areas of Africa — firewood collection is laborious, often requiring women and girls to walk several kilometers per day. Just about every part of Kenya could benefit from solar cooking and water pasteurization. We have our work cut out for us.
I made my inaugural trip to Kenya last October to meet the Solar Cookers International (SCI) eastern Africa staff and become familiar with our programs there. I was fortunate to not only observe our knowledgeable staff leading demonstrations in Nairobi, but to also experience solar cooking in our most remote project areas. We traveled via four wheel drive (a necessity!) to the three project regions, meeting local women, children, and even men who cook and pasteurize water with solar CooKits on a daily basis. It was inspiring to see our programs in action, and most of the people we met were extremely enthusiastic about the benefits Sunny Solutions has brought to them.SCI advocates the use of solar cookers whenever feasible, but we are often asked, "How do I cook when the sun isn't shining?"
At nighttime, or on inclement days, SCI suggests fuel-efficient stoves that use a minimal amount of firewood or other biomass fuel. Several types of these stoves are available in Kenya. SCI staff and solar cooker representatives in Kenya also produce and distribute insulated heat-retention devices ("hay baskets") that allow food to continue to cook after being removed from a heat source. The combination of these complementary technologies will significantly reduce deforestation and indoor air pollution, while giving women additional time and resources they didn't have before.
Well-insulated "hay baskets" maintain cooking temperatures long after pots have been removed from a heat source I was struck on these visits by the number of very modest homes that had photovoltaic panels. I couldn't believe it: several families in these rural villages were converting solar power to electricity, while right next door families were struggling with sooty, smoky, hazardous paraffin lamps simply to see indoors. I am encouraged, after witnessing broad use of solar power in some of the poorest communities in Kenya, to look into other simple solar devices, such as flashlights and lanterns, that can benefit those in the Sunny Solutions areas. Modest photovoltaic panels are in use by some families in rural Kenya.As noted in the November 2007 Solar Cooker Review, SCI has begun a safe water project in Kenya led by SCI founder and board president Dr. Bob Metcalf, a professor of Biological Sciences at California State University, Sacramento. Bob's development of a Portable Microbiology Laboratory (PML) will allow rural health workers and community members to test water quality in the field by assessing levels of Escherichia coli contamination. The revolutionary PML can be used anywhere by practically anyone, and it will liberate government ministries in charge of water analysis who have had difficulties gauging water quality in rural areas due to travel limitations and technical expenses.
Anticipated outcomes from the project include significant reductions in the incidence of waterborne diseases in over 20 communities, and broader community awareness of simple and effective water testing and water pasteurization techniques. A training is tentatively planned for this spring, with officials and representatives from the Kenya Water Resources Management Authority and the Kenya Ministry of Health. This is the first time that these two government ministries have collaborated on a project like this, and we are thrilled to have their participation and support. Major funding for this program has come from the Richard and Rhoda Goldman Fund, for which we are very grateful!
A new project in the works for western Kenya is the development of an SCI resource center that will offer consultations, trainings, and information resources for solar cookers and related technologies, project planning, and local environmental organizations. Unfortunately, these plans have been put on hold as a result of the political crisis that erupted in the wake of the recent presidential elections. This volatile situation, while showing light at the end of the tunnel, has disrupted current and future plans for countless organizations in Kenya, SCI included.
SCI is considering providing humanitarian assistance when things begin to settle down, similar to work we've done in refugee camps in Chad, Ethiopia, and elsewhere in Kenya. Over 300,000 people have been driven from their homes since the December 27 elections, and camps to house internally displaced persons (IDPs) are growing every day. As of the end of January there were over 350 spontaneous IDP camps reported in Nairobi and western Kenya alone. Organizations such as the Red Cross and United Nations have assisted by providing emergency shelter and household kits. If large numbers of people are forced to remain in these camps, SCI has the knowledge and experience to implement valuable relief through solar cooking and solar water treatment.

If you're like me, you've probably read a dozen or two articles about PHP performance in your career. Many of them are quite good, but some are simply flat out wrong, or misinformed.
One of the old truisms that has been repeated for as long as I can recall is "don't use readfile() if you have big files, because it reads the whole file into memory and your server will explode." The usual advice is to manually stream a file, like so:
$fp = fopen('bigfile.tar', 'rb');
while (!feof($fp)) {
print fread($fp, 1024);
There's just one problem with that age-old truism: It's not true.
As Dries has already reported, we held a summit meeting at the Acquia offices in Boston last week. It was a good sprint for a couple of reasons. For one, a large number of leading core developers got more clearly on the same page about the direction of Drupal core. For another, we were able to break the "too big to swallow" logjam that has been plaguing the Web Services and Context Core Initiative (WSCCI).
You mean you aren't already attending what will likely be the largest web developer conference in the Western US this year? What are you waiting for? Not sure if it will be worth it? It will be. Oh, it will be...
If you still need some convincing, or if your boss still needs some convincing, here's the top ten reasons you want to be at DrupalCon Denver:
As Drupal is in the process of considering how to restructure code to best leverage the PSR-0 standard, I figured it would be wise to take a quick survey of how some other major projects organize their code bases. This is not a complete rundown of every project, simply roughly comparable notes for those areas Drupal is currently discussing. I am posting it here in the hopes that it will be useful to more than just Drupal.
Note: This is based on one evening's work of poking around. If you work with one of these projects and have more information to provide or want to correct a mistake I made, please do so in the comments!
As we begin a new year, it seems appropriate that the discussion of backward compatibility has come up yet again in Drupal. It's a perennial question, and you can tell when a new Drupal core version is ready for prime time when people start complaining about lack of backward compatibility. It's like clockwork.
However, most of these discussions don't actually get at the root issue: Drupal is architecturally incapable of backward compatibility. Backward incompatibility is baked into the way Drupal is designed. That's not a deliberate decision, but rather an implication of other design decisions that have been made.
Drupal developers could not, even if they wanted to, decide to support backward compatibility or "cleanup only" type changes in Drupal 8. It is possible to do so in Drupal 9. If we want to do that, however, then we need to decide, now, in Drupal 8, to rearchitect in ways that support backward compatibility. Backward compatibility is a feature you have to design for.
Last week I was at DIG London, in London, Ontario. It's normally a gaming conference, but they've added a web track and asked me to come speak. It was a fairly good experience, helped in part by their keynote, the infamous Jeffrey Zeldman talking about responsive design and related topics.
One of the points Zeldman made was that users want content their way, not the way we (web designers, web authors, and web devleopers) want it. Visually impared users want content read to them, or resized. Color blind users want a different color scheme that they can actually read. Smartphone users want content in a narrow column, without a dozen sidebar blocks. Mobile users want content offline, so they can read it on a plane. Many users want just the content, no design, and so use tools like Instapaper to strip out everything but the text of an article. RSS feeds have been around for a decade, and are now growing rapidly thanks to mobile devices, and those are generally (mostly) layout-free. If you're doing responsive design, then you're not making a design but the framework of a design that will change, and possibly mostly disappear, under certain circumstances.
Of course, that to me begs a very important question. When I asked it during Q&A, even Zeldman didn't have an answer. (Yes, I stumped the King of Web Standards. Woohoo!)
In the modern web, does web design even matter?
(At BADCamp, several people were asking me to explain what the heck the Web Services core initiative was trying to do, so I got to practice my elevator pitch. This is essentially that pitch in written form.)
Drupal today is very page-oriented. Every request that comes in is responded to with a full HTML page. It is possible to return something else, and finally in Drupal 7 there is, sort of, native support to do so with delivery callbacks, but by and large any non-page response is an after thought at best and a hack at worst. The entire system is built around the assumption that we're returning an HTML page. Why else would we still load the theme system and form system for an auto-complete callback?
In the past, that hasn't been a major issue. The web was a series of pages, in practice, and Drupal is one of if not the most flexible page-generating machine on the web today. Drupal 7 is, arguably, the pinnacle of this page-oriented world.
Just in time for that world to be fading fast.
Earlier today, Dries committed a patch that adds two Symfony2 Components to Drupal: ClassLoader and HttpFoundation.
On its face it's a fairly simple patch; the new code in it is maybe a dozen lines. But it's an important part of a larger shift within Drupal to better embrace the modern web, on the server as well as the client.
This is not your father's Internet. When the Web was first emerging onto the scene, it was simple. Individual web pages were self-contained static blobs of text, with, if you were lucky maybe an image or two. The HTTP protocol was designed to be "dumb". It knew nothing of the relationship between an HTML page and the images it contained. There was no need to. Every request for a URI (web page, image, download, etc.) was a completely separate request. That kept everything simple, and made it very fault tolerant. A server never sat around waiting for a browser to tell it "OK, I'm done!"
Much e-ink has been spilled (can you even do that?) already discussing the myriad of ways in which the web is different today, mostly in the context of either HTML5 or web applications (or both). Most of it is completely true, although there's plenty of hyperbole to go around. One area that has not gotten much attention at all, though, is HTTP.
Well, that's not entirely true. HTTP is actually a fairly large spec, with a lot of exciting moving parts that few people think about because browsers offer no way to use them from HTML or just implement them very very badly. (Did you know that there is a PATCH command defined in HTTP? Really.) A good web services implementation (like we're trying to bake into Drupal 8 as part of the Web Services and Context Core Initiative </shamelessplug>) should leverage those lesser-known parts, certainly, but the modern web has more challenges than just using all of a decades-old spec.
Most significantly, HTTP still treats all URIs as separate, only coincidentally-related resources.
Which brings us to an extremely important challenge of the modern web that is deceptively simple: Caching.
As people spent the weekend trying to memorialize the 9/11 terrorist attack's 10th anniversary, I was reminded not of 9/11/2001, but of 9/11/2002.
For the first anniversary, a friend of mine asked me to write something for a memorial web site he was putting together. I do not know if that site still exists, so I have replicated it here in its entirety:

Representing Self and Other: Gender and Sexuality in the Fantastic
The focus of ICFA-28 is on issues of gender and sexuality, long a concern of the fantastic in literature, film, and other media. Given the oft-marginalized status of science fiction and fantasy in relation to mainstream literature and culture, it's not surprising to see fantastic works considered in the light of queer theory and feminist approaches. The hero doesn't have to be a guy, but it's just as rewarding to examine the construction of the masculine hero in space opera, sword-and-sorcery, and superhero comics. In graphic novels, book cover illustrations, and art, the gendered Other is the BEM, the elf, the alien, the vampire. Awards such as the Tiptree and the Lambda, and the success of WisCon, speak to the importance of this theme to the communities of the fantastic.
We look forward to papers on the work of this year's guests:
Guest of Honor Geoff Ryman, author of the Tiptree Award-winning Air as well as Was; The Child Garden, winner of the Campbell Award; The Unconquered Country, winner of the World Fantasy Award; The Warrior Who Carried Life.
Guest Scholar Marina Warner, award-winning critic and fiction author. Her scholarly work includes Alone of All Her Sex, From the Beast to the Blonde, Monuments and Maidens.
Special Guest Writer Melissa Scott, winner of the Lambda Award, author of Trouble and her Friends; The Kindly Ones, Dreaming Metal, and with Lisa Barnett, Point of Hopes and Point of Dreams.
Suggested topics include, but are by no means limited to:
· Childhood in Geoff Ryman's works
A more complete list of suggested topics, frequently updated, is available on the website.
As always, we also welcome proposals for individual papers and for academic sessions and panels on any aspect of the fantastic in any media, even outside the conference theme.
Submit 500 word abstracts for proposals and panel sessions, including contact information and A/V requests, to the appropriate Division Head (full mailing information is available on the website):
(CYA) Fantastic in Children's & Young Adult Literature & Art: Joe Sutliff Sanders, dr.joess_at_gmail.com

North Carolina State University is warning parents that private information about 1,800 school children from Richmond and Wilson counties was mistakenly posted online.
The school says the information includes names, Social Security numbers and dates of birth of students from Ashley Chapel in Richmond County and Gardners and Wells in Wilson County. The data was gathered from 2003 to 2006 as part of a study on classroom practices.
N.C. State's vice chancellor for information technology says there's no evidence anyone used the information improperly. Marc Hoit says the school sent letters to parents this week advising them of measures to take to monitor credit ratings.
It was difficult to find some parents because the information was gathered several years ago, and Ashley Chapel has since closed.

The BMX Challenge is a side mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. The mission is started by entering a parked BMX in a skate park in Glen Park with a cycling skill of more than 20%. The goal of the mission is to collect 19 floating coronas around the skate park before the countdown timer runs out of time. The timer starts when the cutscene finishes. Each corona will add 10 seconds to the timer. The reward for completing this mission is $1,000 and a step closer to 100%.
If you have a low cycling skill it will be basically impossible to complete the challenge. Therefore you will need to do "super bunny hops" in order to get the highest corona, which is right above another low corana in the west side of the skate park. To do the super bunny hop you will need to be wielding a Sub Machine Gun like the TEC 9 and do a bunny hop and right after, you shoot. You do not actually have to shoot but to hold the gun up, if the timing is fast enough you will jump much higher but that requires some practice.

The Broker Safehouse is Niko Bellic's first safehouse in Grand Theft Auto IV.
Getting and losing the safehouse
Located near the southern end of Mohawk Ave in Russian-influenced Hove Beach, the apartment was Roman Bellic's initial place of residence (after spending a period of time living in his taxi depot), and was offered as a place of accommodation for Niko upon his arrival in Liberty City, to Niko's dismay (as he found Roman was not living in a mansion, as claimed in his letters and e-mails).
During the mission "Roman's Sorrow", the apartment and Roman's cab depot are burnt down by the Russians. The two cousins then escape to Bohan, where Mallorie has a place for them. While the Broker safehouse is effectively inaccessible after the mission, vehicles may still be stored at its parking space outside.
It is possible to get back in after it has been burned. To do this, you have to get a small car (like a Comet) and get it sitting of the top of the staircase, and then get out. You will fly into the air and find yourself back in the house. After you get back into the apartment, you will be unable to get out.
The safehouse is rudimentary, with a futon (sofa-bed) which acts as a save point, a television, a dirty kitchen with a table, a radio and a wall which is peeling off. A design poster of a blue Banshee with a white stripe can be found in the house, as are numerous posters of scantly clad women. There is a picture of Mallorie Bardas, Roman's girlfriend, on the bedside table. There is another one photo of young and pretty slim Roman with her in the commode nearby. There is an inaccessible door in the corner of the kitchen, presumably leading to the bathroom. The safehouse also is very dirty, showing this when Niko first walks in and steps on a mouse.
After GTA IV
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars shows the apartments to have been changed into a row of shops, but it also shows that Roman Bellic's cab depot is in full working order, so the canonicity of this is debatable, as Roman moved away from Hove Beach after raking in a large amount of money during GTA IV.
- A common glitch occurs on the parking space in front of the safehouse. When you complete the first mission and go down the stairs, the door leading outside will be open. Closing this door will corrupt the parking space and any car you park there will disappear when you save the game and reload it. (Occurs on the PlayStation 3 version)
- The safehouse itself, is in a very gang and crime infested area with the presence of the Russian Mafia.
- At the first story of the safehouse, after you've walked down the staircase and before the red door, you will see that the wall on the right has a graffiti painting with references to the previous titles in the GTA series. These include "CLAUDE", "remember tommy u r still my hero", "Carl", "RIP Toni" and "Vict♡r cop", refering to the protagonists of GTA III, Vice City, San Andreas, Liberty City Stories, and Vice City Stories respectively.
- You can still store cars there even after the safehouse has been burnt.
- After the safehouse is burnt down after the mission Roman's Sorrow if you get a helicopter and land on the roof you can get back inside but it is all black and nothing is present. You can leave by escaping through the window.
- Like most of the safehouses in GTA IV, there is no computer in this apartment.
- The apartment has a stereo that will always play Liberty Rock Radio, similar to other apartments. Though it cannot be turned off, it can be muted by silencing the music volume via the options menu.
- After the safehouse is burned down, when you fire any weapon, Russian Mafia will attack you due to the betrayal of Dimitri Rascalov.
- If listening to the radio, more likely in a Taxi, you'll hear of the arson against the house and the cab service building. You'll learn that the buildings were torched by Molotov Cocktails, or so say witnesses.

Boulder Police Officer Sam Carter poses with the elk he shot with his service gun while on duty. (Credit: KCNC)
Boulder County's top prosecutor says he doesn't expect to decide until at least Friday whether charges should be filed over an elk killed by a police officer.
The Daily Camera reports District Attorney Stan Garnett met with Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials on Tuesday and said the investigation is still ongoing.
Boulder police have said an on-duty officer who said the elk looked like it needed to be put down shot the animal Jan. 1, and an off-duty officer took it to be processed for meat. Officers Sam Carter and Brent Curnow, who has a taxidermy website and had called in sick the night the elk died, are on paid leave pending results of an internal investigation.
Hunting isn't allowed in city limits.

DiMarzio ClipLock Guitar Straps were the first to feature the heavy-duty plastic clip for quick and easy changes from guitar to guitar with a little fingertip pressure. It is probably the most secure and unique fastening method available to safeguard your guitar. ClipLock Quick Release Guitar Straps have been used for years by Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Yngwie Malmsteen, John Petrucci, and many other professional musicians.
DiMarzio Nylon ClipLock Guitar Straps come in cool neon colors, are 2" wide, and adjust in length from 43" to 63" (measured between the strap buttons).
Nylon was DiMarzio's first choice for ClipLock Quick Release Guitar Straps. DiMarzio chose automotive seatbelt material for its comfort, strength, and durability. Unlike inexpensive polypropylene, nylon has a smooth, satin feel, so your guitar slides freely during performance.
The ClipLock guitar strap's fabric conforms to your body and adds a new level of comfort, yet it is strong enough to hold over 150 pounds.
DiMarzio ClipLock Guitar Straps are an industry standard for strength, security, and quality. They attach securely to your guitar with 2 sturdy bushings and their extra-long screws are sized to fit the strap bushing screw holes on most electric guitars and basses.
A guitar or bass strap with locking clips that allows you to unclip from your guitar quickly or switch between guitars easily.

Comments about DiMarzio Nylon ClipLock Neon Guitar Strap:
Really surprised at the strength and quality. I love the clips. I may get a few more and interchange them.
Comments about DiMarzio Nylon ClipLock Neon Guitar Strap:
I own two DiMarzio ClipLok Straps. A black one for my telecaster and a hot pink one for my schecter. Ive had them both for a year and so far i've had no issues with them. They are extremely sturdy and comfortable. also very easy to switch guitars with when your on stage. the only thing i did have issue was storing my guitar in its hardshell case with the clips. if you arent careful with how you put the clip in the case it can seriously scratch your guitar. But that was MY careless mistake, not the strap. Overall, a very solid strap at a reasonable price.
Comments about DiMarzio Nylon ClipLock Neon Guitar Strap:
I own both the black version of this and green. I just got the green and have owned the black for about 2 years. Great strap and has lasted me great without rips or tears. I did have my guitar come undone on stage from the straps but that was due to imprpoer screwing in. It was an easy fix. The green starp is not as green in the picture. Its more of a cation gree. Otherwise, great strap. Best out for the money.
Comments about DiMarzio Nylon ClipLock Neon Guitar Strap:
I purchased the neon green and neon yellow straps. Beautiful neon colors. They're actually brighter than they seem in the pictures. The actual colors vary a bit from what I expected from the computer screen, but I know that this is normal. The green one isn't quite as green as I expected from the picture; it's a bit lighter. The yellow one is a perfect neon yellow; it looks plain yellow on my screen. As far as the quality, I've had a blue one for a couple of years and it is very strong and secure once it is locked. I strongly recommend any of the DiMarzio nylon straplocks. My bass player now badly wants a 3"-wide one.

Sleep: Helping Your Children—and Yourself—Sleep Well
- Children of all ages need plenty of sleep to grow and develop. School-age children may have trouble learning and developing socially if they don't get enough sleep.
- Children's sleep problems can cause stress for parents, who may worry about their children. Parents also may be awake much of the night trying to get a child back to sleep. Their own lack of sleep can affect parents' focus at work or in school.
- Health problems can cause sleep trouble in children. Examples of these problems include asthma, ADHD, autism, obstructive sleep apnea, and Down syndrome. Talk to your child's doctor if your child often has trouble getting to sleep or staying asleep.
- Parents can help their children sleep well by having a comforting bedtime routine and consistent bedtimes.
- Parents can help themselves sleep well by learning about sleep routines and about how to reduce stress and relax.
Several types of sleep problems can keep a child awake at night:
- Young children sometimes try to delay going to bed by asking for another story or for another sip of water.
- A child may wake up after wetting the bed or needing a diaper change.
- Some children have nightmares. Others may have night terrors. Night terrors are different from nightmares because the child remains asleep throughout the entire episode and does not have any memory of it in the morning.
- Some teenagers have a problem called delayed sleep-phase syndrome. This means that they can't get to sleep until early morning and it's very hard for them to get up in the morning. This is different from when a teenager chooses to stay up late and is too tired to get up in the morning.
- Some children have health problems that can lead to sleep problems. In some cases, treating the health condition can improve sleep. For example, a child whose asthma is under control may not wake up at night because of coughing.
Test Your Knowledge
Sleep problems are always the result of other health problems, such as asthma.
Children who don't get enough good quality sleep may have trouble learning and developing socially. They may be tired during the day and not able to pay attention in school.
And a child's sleep problems can affect parents' sleep. Parents may be in the child's room during the night trying to get the child back to sleep—or the child may try to get in bed with the parents to get back to sleep. Lack of sleep can make parents tired during the day, affecting work and family life.
Test Your Knowledge
When a child has sleep problems, parents may feel the effects in their own lives.
This answer is correct.
If your child's sleep problems are keeping you up and causing you stress, you may be too tired during the day to do your best at work and at home.
This answer is incorrect.
If your child's sleep problems are keeping you up and causing you stress, you may be too tired during the day to do your best at work and at home.
Help your baby sleep well
- At night, set up a soothing routine. Give your baby a bath, sing lullabies, read a book, or tell a story.
- When your baby is getting sleepy, put your baby in his or her crib in a quiet, darkened room. This will help your baby learn to go to sleep in his or her crib.
- Try to feed your hungry newborn when he or she starts to wake up and is still calm. Hungry cries often start with a whimper and become louder and longer. If you respond before your newborn gets upset, he or she will feed and go back to sleep easier.
- Periods of murmuring and restlessness every 50 to 60 minutes are a normal part of a baby sleep cycle. The restlessness usually lasts a few minutes. If you leave your baby alone, he or she will likely fall back to sleep.
- Settle your baby down to sleep as quickly as possible if he or she is not acting hungry during a nighttime feeding.
- If your baby wakes up and doesn't settle down, check to see if he or she is hungry or needs a diaper change. Feed or change your baby quietly. Keep the light low. Don't play with or sing to your baby. Put him or her back in the crib as soon as you can.
- Try to stay calm. Young children are very sensitive to a parent's feelings of frustration.
- Be consistent. If you change your plan for how to handle nighttime crying, make sure that you and your partner agree on it before you go to bed.
Help your child sleep well
- Set up a bedtime routine to help your child get ready for bed and sleep. For example, read together, cuddle, and listen to soft music for 15 to 30 minutes before you turn out the lights. Do things in the same order each night so your child knows what to expect.
- Have your child go to bed at the same time every night and wake up at the same time every morning.
- Keep your child's bedroom quiet, dark or dimly lit, and cool. Keep TVs and computers out of your child's room.
- Limit activities that stimulate your child, such as playing and watching TV, in the hours closer to bedtime.
- If your child wakes up and calls for you in the middle of the night, make your response the same each time. Offer quick comfort, but then leave the room.
- Help prevent nightmares by controlling what your child watches on TV.
- Have your child take medicines exactly as prescribed. Call your doctor if your child has any problems with his or her medicine.
- Do not try to wake your child during a night terror. Instead, reassure and hold your child to prevent injury.
- If your child sleepwalks, keep the windows locked during sleep time. Block doorways and stairwells to prevent your child from wandering or falling during the night. Try an adjustable baby gate to block these areas.
- If your child is overweight, work with your child to set goals for managing his or her weight. Being overweight can cause sleep problems or make them worse.
Help your teen sleep well
- Talk to your teen about why it's important to go to bed at the same time every night and wake up at the same time every morning.
- If your teen is going to bed at a very late hour, teach him or her how to change bedtime a little at a time. Suggest that your teen go to bed 15 minutes earlier each night until the best bedtime is reached.
- Have your teen keep his or her bedroom quiet, dark, and cool at bedtime. It's best to remove the TV, computer, phone, and video games from your teen's room.
- Encourage your teen to manage his or her homework load. This can prevent the need to study all night before a test or stay up late to do homework.
- If a teen has trouble waking up in the morning, ask what you can do to help.
- Offer to wake him or her.
- Offer to check to make sure your teen got up when the alarm went off.
- Offer to turn on a bright light in the room when it's time to get up.
- Teach your teen to avoid caffeine (found in soda pop, energy drinks, coffee, tea, and chocolate) after 3 p.m.
- If your teen is overweight, work with your teen to set goals for managing his or her weight. Being overweight can be linked with sleep problems.
Help yourself sleep well
- Avoid or limit caffeine and nicotine, especially in the hours before bedtime. Both can keep you awake.
- Don't drink alcohol before bedtime. Alcohol can cause you to wake up more often during the night.
- Don't take medicine that may keep you awake, or make you feel hyper or energized, right before bed. Your doctor can tell you if your medicine may do this and if you can take it earlier in the day.
- Use the evening hours for settling down. Avoid watching TV and using the computer or phone if they keep you from getting to sleep.
- Make exercise a regular part of your life, but don't do it within 3 or 4 hours of bedtime.
- Keep your bedroom quiet, dark, and cool. Try using a sleep mask to help you sleep.
- Take a warm bath before bed.
- Make your own sleep routine. Try to have the same bedtime and wake-up time each day.
- If you are overweight, set goals to manage your weight. Being overweight can be linked with sleep problems.
- Manage stress. The stress and worry that come with having a child who isn't sleeping well may be causing you sleep problems too. But there are steps you can take to manage that stress and sleep better.
- Stress Management: Breathing Exercises for Relaxation
- Stress Management: Doing Guided Imagery to Relax
- Stress Management: Doing Meditation
- Stress Management: Doing Progressive Muscle Relaxation
- Stress Management: Relaxing Your Mind and Body
Test Your Knowledge
Parents shouldn't worry about making things worse by being frustrated and stressed out, because babies who are crying a lot don't notice things like that.
It's a good idea to try to wake up your child during night terrors.
Even teenagers need bedtime routines.
