The Italian Legacy of Sweden: Santa Lucia
When Hilary (aka Missfoster) asked us writers in Sweden who would like to write an article on Santa Lucia's Day I thought that it wasn't something for me.
"This is my first Santa Lucia in Sweden in my whole lifetime and I dunno much about it, maybe somebody else like a Swede should write about it, not an Italian!"
And I thought that Thomas did an excellent job already with his post on Lucia…
The only thing I know about Santa Lucia in Italy is a funny rhyme:
"Santa Lucia, il giorno più corto che ci sia."
Which means "Saint Lucie, the shortest of the days", if referred to sunlight makes perfect sense both in Italy and Sweden.
Then I did some quick research over the Internet, curious to know the story of the saint, Lucia.
She was Italian, off course, but my eyes became stuck on the city where she came from: Siracusa.
As far as I know almost every city of Italy has it's own saint and when it comes to that day normally it is a city wide holiday (no work since Italians are lazy).
Siracusa is in Sicily… and in an ogonblick everything became clear in my mind: I knew why Santa Lucia's day is more important in Sweden than in Italy.
The Normans, I wrote about them on and old article, brought back to Sweden the cult of the saint so important for the whole area where they sovreigned (Naples and below all the way to Sicily), after they settled down in the south of Italy!
Since 1970 in the City of Siracusa there takes place an event called "Lucia di Svezia e Settimana Svedese" "Lucie of Sweden and the Swedish Week". At the end of the week, which is on the 20th of December, young Swedish girls "Lucia di Svezia" go to Italy to represent Lucia, as you can see in the video.
Since Swedish girls are VERY important to Italians they are heavily escorted by the carabinieri, our military police 🙂

Thank you, Alessio, that's very interesting! I haven't heard that before, but it's important to notice that all traditions are very much alive, taking up varying influences during centuries. For instance, why is the tune of an old Napolitanian fishermen's song associated with Lucia in Sweden? You provided a clue. Interesting also the celebrations in Siracuse, with attendance of Swedish girls. 🙂
Unrelated, have you seen this? A whole bunch of swedish freaks.
Another thing that a friend told me, is that the candles were originally ALL imported from Sicily since they were not produced in Scandinavia!
Also in Verona (northen Italy) Santa Lucia is very popular, even more than Santa Claus!

text: I personally carry 102gr. Remington Golden Sabers. They have excellent expasion as well as weight retention even through heavily clothed gelatin. about .55" expansion and 14" penetration in water. Cor-Bon makes an excellent 80gr. DPX round (solid copper=perfect weight retention) and federal makes a 90gr. HydraShock that's always good. Keep in mind that as bullet weight goes down, so does penetration, and in .380auto you need all you can get. 102gr. is the heaviest commercially available round that I know of. The Winchester 85gr. Silvertip offers good expansion, and flies really fast, but tends to lose some weight through test media and also doesn't penetrate as well as GoldenSabers do. There are good rounds out there, but none are miracle bullets, especially for a .380, you really have to do your part. Just my $0.02

Claire Korpela is a rising senior at the University of Wyoming studying chemistry and molecular biology. She spent the summer at Johns Hopkins University working in the chemical and biomolecular engineering laboratory of Honggang Cui. Claire was part of Johns Hopkins Institute for NanoBioTechnology's Research Experience for Undergraduates.
Her research project involved creating a peptide chain that targets to cancer cells and combining it with an anti-cancer drug. Claire's career goal is to become an oncologist. She decided to write her own blog post on her experience at JHU, which follows:
The naked eye is only so good for seeing small objects. This summer I had the opportunity to work with chemotherapeutic 1D nanostructures, a task that my naked eye was not well equipped for.
When I was first told that the nanotubes I had formed from individual drug-peptide monomers has self-assembled into highly ordered and complex structures, I had a difficult time wrapping my mind around what that meant. Just the idea of nanotechnology astounded me. How could something so small have such a large impact on society and the future of technology and medicine? It was something I needed to see to believe.
After looking at my sample using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), I was taken aback by the image that was before me. It certainly wouldn't be classified as beautiful or interesting to most people looking at it, but to me it was. Seeing how my molecule aggregated on its own into nanotubes that can weave around itself to form a stable gel gave me an even better understanding of just how important nanotechnology can be in the fight against cancer.

- - jogging partner (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/general-information/416106-jogging-partner.html)
jogging partner
any of you have your gsd as a jogging/running partner?
At what age is it safe for them to start jogging with you? I have heard it can be bad for their hips if they are too young? How did you ease them into it once they are old enough?
Rusty runs with my husband. He started to take him out when he was 8 months - a lot was on the sandy beach or dirt hiking trails. We do need to be mindful of growth plates still closing. But at the same time want to build strong muscle with activity - not limiting completely.
Now jumping when he was a pup and the impact from the land was not encouraged. To this day - we never even play Frisbee. I don't like how the dog looks when they land.
About 8 to 10 months if there is no sign of Pano, etc and the goofy growth stage has passed. Even then I would limit the distance for about 6 months. Maybe 2-3 miles. I had one boy with Pano at about 7 or 8 months and I waited till he was a year old. About goofy, not ever pup goes through this. My second GSD, Mac, RIP, was a great athlete and never had a goofy stage. My current boy [5th GSD] has never shown me a goofy stage and he is over 9 months old. If you don't see a goofy stage you still have to be careful. The growth plates have to be closed before you can expect any heavy long distance running from your dog. I always try to run the dogs on a natural surface.
I run with my dog five days a week (I let him have the weekends off). I started running with him when he was a year old, and I followed a modified Couch to 5K running program designed for humans in order to condition him. After that we increased our mileage by about 15% a week. His longest run to date is 13 miles, but generally we do just 6 - 10 miles at a time, so his highest mileage week is 50 miles.
Before we began getting serious about mileage, I made sure that his hips and elbows were okay via x-ray.
If you run in town or city, make sure you keep an eye on his paws. I run trail, so it's dirt and not really something I need to worry about. But in the summer you need to worry about hot pavement, and in the winter you need to watch for injury to the paws from salt or sharp ice.
The only times when I do not run with Niko, aside from his rest days, are when it is frigidly cold and single digits, or when it is excessively hot and over 75 degrees. In the summer I run with him early in the morning to avoid the heat.
Running keeps him nice and trim, and he is a joy to run with. He is the reason why I am so consistent with my running, because I know how much he enjoys it. I never skip a run any more.
Mushers Secret is a must in our house :)
Mushers Secret-all season paw protection for your dog
Running is amazing and if you can find a partner that doesnt have to stop every half k power to ya.
LOL thats why i take the dog out and not my best friend.
Shadow is a bit over a year old and I jog with her as much as I can stand each day (which isn't much with chronic pain). Maybe a bit over a mile a day. She's excitable sometimes so I keep an eye on when she wants to check something out or to stop and pee.
thanks for the replies. Good to know theyre okay to run with. I dont do crazy running usually between 1 and 3 miles. lately its been on the treadmill, but would love to get back out on the road again. Its lonely out there though, so i think a dog would be a motivating factor.
only worry is the hot florida summers.. going to have to make it an early run :)

December 18, 2012
Sydney, New South Wales (rushPRnews) 12/18/12 — Executive Chairman and Founder John Symond today agreed for the Commonwealth Bank (CBA) to increase its shareholding to 80 percent, by acquiring a further 47 per cent.
John Symond will continue as Executive Chairman of Aussie and will retain a 20 percent shareholding, while continuing to be involved in the growth and direction of the company.
"We welcome this arrangement as CBA's increased interest in Aussie is a great opportunity for the company to further accelerate our growth. We now have the opportunity to grow by investing in our product and service offerings and will remain a strong competitor in the mortgage broking channel," said Mr Symond.
Aussie will continue to offer hundreds of home loan options through its extensive panel of 18 lenders, as well as the range of non-mortgage Aussie products, such as insurance, personal loans and credit cards.
Mr Symond said "We will continue to grow our existing external business relationships with our diverse partners and establish new relationships to ensure we continue to provide a competitive and broad choice of products and services from a diverse range of business partners and lenders to our customers.
"The Commonwealth Bank will give us additional strength to grow and service our customers. We will continue to offer a wide range of options, providing consumers the best options for their needs. It's business as usual for Aussie," he concluded.

Halle Berry on What Scares Her Most
"Extra's" Terri Seymour caught up with the lovely Halle Berry at the L.A. premiere of "The Call," talking about the harrowing thriller… and what frightens her.
As for the film, in which she plays a 911 operator trying to save the life of a teenage kidnap victim, Berry said, "It's scary. I thought about [the movie] the same way when I saw it the first time… and I made the movie and knew everything that was going to happen!"
The Oscar winner said she'd be a terrible call operator. "I'm far too emotional. I'd start crying and I'd be like, 'Okay girl, I'm coming over right now! Stay put!'"
"The Call" opens in theaters March 15.

Third Day
For their fifth studio album, 2004's Wire (which was followed shortly after by Live Wire), Third Day returned to their rock & roll roots, a trend they kept up for 2005's Top Ten hit Wherever You Are, which came out in CD/DVD format the next year. After the release of the holiday album Christmas Offerings in 2006 and the compilation Chronology the following year, the band announced the departure of Avery in February 2008. Despite the loss, Third Day soldiered on, releasing Revelation in July of that year. The album was produced by Howard Benson and featured appearances by Chris Daughtry and Lacey Mosley. They followed the record up in 2010 with the late October release of Move, which found the group exploring a more rootsy, Southern rock sound. In 2012 they teamed up with veteran producer Brendan O'Brien (the Killers, Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen) for their 11th studio album, Miracle. Making a dedicated return to their faith-based material, Third Day released Lead Us Back: Songs of Worship in 2015. Described by Powell as a proper worship album, the choral-heavy record featured members of his home church choir along with notable guest artists from the CCM community like Michael W. Smith, Natalie Grant, Michael Tait, and All Sons & Daughters. ~ John Bush

Brother Of UF Grad Student Shot By Police Speaks Out
Family members of the UF graduate assistant, who was shot by police Tuesday evening say they still have no idea what happened to their loved one, and the entire incident leaves them with more questions than answers.
The student's brother in now in Gainesville to be by his bedside and to speak out against the actions of those university police officers.
"I was told that he was resisting arrest and he was charging at officers which is not possible," Kwame Obeng said.
Speaking at a press conference Saturday afternoon, Kwame Obeng has words for the University Police Department.
Obeng, who came in town from Texas, says UPD did not have to shoot his brother Kofi Adu-Brempong while trying to arrest him Tuesday evening at the Corry Village Apartments.
He says police are keeping a tight lid on what happened and telling the family nothing.
"I was really shocked," Obeng said. "He is not a violent person and also physically, he is a crippled man."
Obeng says his brother can not stand with out his cane, nor can he run.
Tuesday, officers went to the apartment after a colleague told police Adu-Brempong was acting delusional.
According to the report, Adu Brempong threatened police with a knife and a pipe.
Officers tried to subdue him with a taser and a beanbag gun before shooting him with an m4 rifle.
Friends and family say this is police brutality.
Obeng has been the only one allowed to see his brother
"He's in serious condition as everybody knows and the recovery is gonna be a long one with multiple surgeries that have to be done in the future," Obeng said.
Officials with the FDLE say this is still an ongoing and active investigation.
Organizers say they are planning a protest for noon on March 16th at Turlington Plaza.

Efeste's winemaker, Brennon Leighton, is one spoild dude – he's able to source from some of the best vineyards in Washington state and then act like a kid in a candy store with a "go-pass". What a dream it is for winemakers to have access to the sort of fruits he does – old-vine, concentrated and full of tons of character.
If you ever meet Brennon then you'll immediately know why he calls this wine "Big Papa" – it's a huge cab that takes no prisoners and quite frankly has the backbone to stare-down any of the best of the likes of Napa-cabs.

Nose: Tons of cherry, rose petal, bright raspberry, hints of charred asparagus, cedar, cocoa. Some medicince cabinent action as well as hints of bits of leather round things out.
Taste: A massive fruit-attack on the front-end that assaults your palate with killer fruit. Excellent layering of raspberry, cherry with some nice hints of veggie action hit across the back-side of the mid palate. The purity of fruit comes shinging through like a rock-star and has a great supporting case of firm, yet balanced tannins. Massively focused fruits that linger for months on-end. This is easily the best cab I've had in the past few years and showcases how serious Washington cabs can be when done properly. This wine tastes really good now but should have room to improve over the next 3-12+ years.

Solis-Ramos in Merida
Jorge "Coloradito" Solis of Mexico will battle Likar Ramos of Colombia for the WBA interim super featherweight title on Saturday, February 6 in Merida Yucatan in a card promoted by Promociones Zanfer. The big card was announced today in Merida in a press conference. Solis (32-2-2, 27 KOs) of Guadalajara, Mexico is looking for his first world title fight against the champion Ramos (21-2, 15 KOs). Solis is the older brother of Ulises "Archie" Solis the former IBF junior flyweight champion.
"This is my second opportunity to win a world title and I want to win it this time. It's going to be a great fight and I hope the fans will come out to support me," said Solis, who last year lost to Cristobal Cruz in a battle for the IBF featherweight championship.
Solis who has fought the likes of Humberto Soto and Manny Pacquiao is looking forward to the challenge.
"Ramos is a very explosive puncher, so I will need to box him and attack him at my pace. I know I can win this fight and that's why I will train very hard for this fight," said Solis.
In the co-main event local undefeated contender Ramon Mass (18-0, 12 KOs) will take on German Meraz (25-13-1, 9 KOs) in a 10 round super bantamweight bout.
Mario Abraham who is the co-promoter for this show hopes to bring more big time fights to what once was one of the biggest fight towns in Mexico and home to many world champions such as Miguel Canto, Guty Espadas Sr and Freddy Castillo.
"2010 will be a big year of boxing here in Merida with the help of Fernando Beltran and Promociones Zanfer. We still have a lot of talent here in Merida and we need to give them an opportunity to showcase it," said Abraham.
The fight will be televised in Mexico by TV Azteca.

NEW! Pierre Labric plays the music of Eugene Reuchsel in this new album by Solstice. Promenades en Provence is a recording of the grandes orgues de Saint-Ouen de Rouen.
Producer's note:
Unable to obtain the original tapes (held illegally by the original producer), the present disc could only be made using copies of variable quality- hence the hiss affecting the first four pieces. Not without lamenting this, we nonetheless felt that the interest of the document took precedence over this transient flaw that, for its part, the Art et Son studio endeavoured to correct as much as possible.

Though André Marchal left no written works, he is still regarded as a highly influential figure in the culture of French organ music in the 20th Century. This 2-CD set contains legendary performances by Marchal dating from 1954-1979 and includes several of his improvisations.
Cochereau was a great symphonist, and it is well known that a symphony was often his preferred musical form for extended improvisations in concert and yet, despite the fact that his recorded legacy is huge, this particular form is singularly underrepresented on the many albums of his improvisations available previously. Up to now his discography has not included an extended work comparable in scale to a symphony by, for example, Vierne. The present album supplies that deficiency by presenting two extended symphonies from what might be considered Cochereau's greatest period at Notre-Dame.
Pierre Labric plays Vierne on this 3-CD set
Accomplished organist Pierre Labric plays Vierne on the Cavaillé-Coll organ at Saint-Ouen de Rouen. The second volume in the series of Vierne's complete works recorded by Labric, it contains over 3 hours of music.

Pierre Labric plays the Cavaillé-Coll organ of St. Sernin, Toulouse.
In the early 1970s, Téléson, a company located in Rouen, convinced Pierre Labric to record a considerable number of repertoire works with, foremost amongst them, the symphonies of Vierne and Widor as well as the works of Demessieux--three large groups that were subsequently given up to the Musical Heritage Society, based in New York at the time. MHS released them in the form of three boxed sets that, owing to their success, soon sold out and have become impossible to find. After more than thirty years of absence, these legendary interpretations are now available again!
Domenico Severin plays two historic Cavaillé-Coll organs. The program begins at the Grande Organ of St. Peter where Severin plays works by Dubois and Saint-Saëns. On the second CD the recital moves to the Conflans Chapel. It was transferred by Cavaillé-Coll's successor, Charles Mutin. In the second leg, Severin plays Capocci and Guilmant. The richness of this organ repertoire would not have been possible without the renewal of organ building, underlined by such a person as Cavaillé-Coll.
Naji Hakim has established himself as a performer and composer whose works are indelibly tied to his Christian faith. Recognized with a papal medal for his activities, these pieces are drawn from the span of his compositional career, combining organ music with string quartet and solo soprano.

Daniel Roth Plays the rare, intact, and restored organ built in 1897 by Jean-Baptiste Ghys (1840-1923) of Dijon, France. Inaugurated in May, 2005, in its new church home of Eglise Sainte-Chantal in Dijon, the organ was built for a Dijon convent where it was unused for decades and never abused. Ghys, a native of Nukerke, Belgium, apprenticed to organbuilding at age 17 and worked in Brussels and then Paris, entering the service of Joseph Merklin in 1865 and supervised the installation of several organs. During the installation of an organ in Dijon in 1869, he met and then married an organbuilder's widow, producing many fine organs in his Dijon workshop. Only the organ recorded here is known to remain unaltered as built by Ghys. Daniel Roth enthusiastically embraces this 21-rank marvel for a magnificently played and well-recorded program. Click for works by Büsser, Pierné, Vierne, Roth, Franck, Mendelssohn, Liszt, Ropartz and Tournemire on this CD.

Totally Spectacular! Perhaps the most influential church musician/organist in mid-19th-century France was Louis-James-Alfred Lefébure-Wély who adapted popular musical styles to church organ music. The result was great appreciation on behalf of most church goers, an exploitation of the new musical resources available on the vanguard organs by Cavaillé-Coll and others, and a backlash from those with "better taste." Astride the malestrom was Cavaillé-Coll, remaining friendly with both sides, each embracing his organs. Lefébure-Wély, the best known and most celebrated organist in France, was organist of The Madeleine in Paris in 1847, where the builder had installed Paris' first new organ in the symphonic style a year earlier. In 1863, Lefébure-Wély became organist of St-Sulpice. On this CD, Ben van Oosten incomparably plays these works on The Madeleine organ, finding infinite opportunities to explore his enormous musicality as abetted by awesome technique.

The first was Joseph Callaerts who was an early student of Lemmens and was involved in design of the Schyven organ. Another Antwerp organist was Clément d'Hooghe, a Dupré student who died young. Flor Peeters, cathedral organist in Mechelen, composed "Abbey Peace" in 1926. His student, Gabriel Verschraegen, was cathedral organist in Ghent and his compositions are inspired by Gregorian chant as in the chorale prelude on the All Saints Vespers hymn.

Since being introduced to Pathwork in 2000, I have come to drink in the words of the Pathwork Lectures. This hunger continues to grow even now, in 2012. While these lectures can be read for concepts and ideas they contain, and as important as these ideas and concepts are, I use the lectures primarily as inspirational material, devotionally, letting the words call forth truths from deep within my being. The resonance I feel can move me to tears. I hear the words differently each time, because my life has moved forward day by day and the words touch a different need in my soul.
In 2006 I began making recordings of the Lectures so that I could listen to them in my leisure and idle time (riding time, exercise time, etc.). To make the recordings, I read the lectures aloud, edit them very carefully for accuracy of words and meaning, and burn them onto audio CDs. Each paragraph of a lecture is one track on the CD, which enables me to follow the text easily, repeat meaningful paragraphs, etc.
This project grew into creating a library of Pathwork Lecture recordings, now including nearly all of the 258 Lectures given by Eva Pierrokos between 1957 and her death in 1979. These audio readings are available in conventional CD format (1 lecture per CD) or in MP3 format, all recorded lectures on one DVD suitable for downloading onto a computer, iPhone, and iPod. The recordings of the 258 lectures come to nearly 200 hours of this inspirational Pathwork wisdom.
In 2008 I entered into a contract with the International Pathwork Foundation. Under this contract the Foundation offers my recordings as downloads, one lecture at a time (go to: International Pathwork Foundation Website). In addition under this contract I can sell the DVD that has all the lectures I have recorded on it. This is very convenient for students, teachers, and Pathwork enthusiasts who want access to all this material in audio form. I also sell individual lectures in conventional CD format where each track has one paragraph of the lecture.

Hall may need foe to grant him pardon
Page Tools
The immediate future of Swans full-forward Barry Hall could be in the hands of Chris Grant, the man he is accused of striking during Saturday's victory over the Western Bulldogs.
Hall was yesterday charged with striking Grant by the AFL's investigations officer Rick Lewis. That the charge was brought even though there was no conclusive videotape evidence does not bode well for the explosive forward who will make his 10th appearance at the tribunal tonight. The investigation followed a behind-the-play incident in the final quarter in which Grant went to ground. Hall, who had seemed frustrated by the strongarm tactics of the Bulldogs defence, was the only Swans player nearby.
With no videotape and no eyewitness account by the umpires, Grant's version of the incident could be telling. With Hall pleading not guilty, the case could be a test of the AFL's so-called "code of silence" in which players have been loath to give evidence against opposition players.
The AFL interviewed Grant yesterday lunchtime over the incident and Hall in the afternoon.
"He [Hall] is going to plead not guilty," said Swans football director Andrew Ireland.
The Swans have worked hard to improve Hall's discipline in the past three years. However, his six guilty verdicts and 16 weeks worth of suspensions will weigh heavily against him if he is found guilty tonight.
Meanwhile, Hall's treatment by opposition defenders and the umpires continues to be a source of disappointment for the Swans. Coach Paul Roos made his displeasure clear after Saturday's match and planned to speak to AFL umpire director Jeff Gieschen - although, he said, only because Gieschen had first contacted him.
While they sweat on the Hall verdict, the Swans could also face undefeated St Kilda on Sunday without another star forward. A scan yesterday showed Nick Davis had not suffered a fracture when he was kicked in the ankle during Saturday's match. But he sustained bruising to the bone and is in serious doubt.
That will further compound the loss of the versatile Jason Saddington, who suffered a season-ending knee injury on Saturday before the Swans' most challenging match of the season.
Assistant coaches John Longmire and Ross Lyon went to Telstra Dome on Sunday to watch the Saints smash Carlton, kicking 31.10 (196) in a 108-point massacre. "They looked like they had seen a ghost when they got back," Roos said of his assistants.
They are not the only ones to have been spooked by St Kilda this season. So impressive have the Saints been, comparisons are being drawn with the Essendon team that lost just one game on its way to the 2000 premiership. That sole defeat came late in the season when the Bulldogs employed a massive defensive flood.
Given the Saints' depth of talent, Roos agreed it might take some unusual tactical ploy to create an upset on Sunday.
"You've probably got to go with something a little bit different," he said. "You don't want to get into a shoot-out or a stand-and-deliver situation with them.
"You've got to be a bit of a realist and respect the fact they have the talent that they do. You might not want to do anything too radical, but you'd be certainly looking at doing something."
As the once hapless Saints suddenly take on a look of invincibility, Roos's other challenge will be to ensure his players don't go into the game with a negative mind-set. In that regard, he believes being away from Melbourne - where the St Kilda hype is growing by the week - could be an advantage.
"It [being away from Melbourne] is a situation that can hurt you or help you," he said. "In this case it might help. Our blokes probably haven't seen too much of them, which can cause a bit of negativity. They won't be seeing them as invincible."
Recent history may provide some confidence for the Swans. Last year they beat St Kilda by 51 points in their only meeting, dominating a match in which they had 37 scoring shots to the Saints' 16. Yet Roos is realistic about the challenge his team faces this time.
"With the number of good players they have, they've got a little bit of Brisbane about them," he said. "To win 10 in a row and to be winning by the margins they have you have to do a lot right. They've recruited very well and they've had the pick of the best kids in the draft for a number of years, so I guess the way the salary cap and draft works they would have to be very good or the system falls apart."

Any day I can make even oblique references to the SR-71 Blackbird is a good day, but this model from "Lego Monster" makes today a full-throttle holiday. It's even got the dual cockpit.
Model Set [Flickr via The Brothers Brick]
If it had only the single cockpit, it'd be the infamous CIA version A-12.
Too bad we mothballed them – they really moved.
Now it needs little Byrne-era X-Men minifigs to pilot it to The Savage Land.
THAT is too cool. My dad was a weight engineer on that project for Lockheed (and I have just a regular scale model sitting here on my desk).
Does it leak little LEGO pieces until it gets up?

Sony subpoenaed by N.Y. Attorney General
Sony just this week responded to questions from congress regarding the PSN and SOE breaches that resulted in a massive amount of user data, including the details of thousands of credit cards, being stolen. Now the company is apparently facing a subpoena from the New York Attorney General.
The New York Times reports that New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has issued a subpoena to three separate divisions of Sony — Sony Computer Entertainment America, Sony Network Entertainment and Sony Online Entertainment. Schneiderman's subpoena carries a similar request to the letter sent by congress last week: he wants to know how Sony is protecting its customers' personal information.
Sony has already replied to congress with a lengthy letter revealing several new pieces of information regarding the breach that saw the personal information of 77 million users stolen, including how it plans to prevent future attacks and its policies regarding data retention and and data security practices. Considering this, we're curious to learn whether or not Sony will have anything left to disclose to the Attorney General. Still, the company does plan to respond; speaking to the New York Times, Senior Director of Corporate Communications and Social Media at Sony, Patrick Seybold, said they would review the request.
"We will review and respond to this request, and will continue to work with law enforcement authorities as they investigate the criminal attack on our networks," Seybold told the Times.
The news comes on the same day as a press release from anonymous denying it was involved in any credit card theft.
techguy911It has already been found that sony WAS using outdated server software on their web servers they also knew that said servers had problems to save money they did not update servers so the fact is they were responsible for what happened by not updating to a more secure version.
It all has to do with management decisions they have final say for spending money on server software updates even though they may deny it.
1st - Call Experian (the credit reporting agnecy) and just add a "Fraud Alert" they will contact the other credit reporting agencies and do the same for you. This will make it very difficult for someone to get credit in your name.
2nd - If you still have an use a card that you gave to Sony I would cancel it and order a new one. Personally I don't have to worry cause I lost that card a while back and had already ordered a new card so my old one they had on file is not valid.
3rd - If someone calls out of the blue that you don't know and they are asking for any information at all don't answer them, just hang up. Same with e-mails, if it's not from a friend or family member assume it's a phishing e-mail and throw it away.
Take these steps above and I promise you will have nothing to worry about.
Well, except you will through services provided, like the roads/general infrastructure/defence/fire dept/police. The government isn't a profit making organisation you know...
I'd hope that Sony is brought to account for their actions (or lack of) that allowed such a serious breach to happen at all.
good idea, waste the gov money to find a bunch of kids so Sony can sue them and then lock them up on the tax payers burden...... or fine Sony and make a lil cash for the gov
here's some news for you, locking up hackers arent going stop them, it only going to agro them, Anon and such likes are child play compared to the real hacker community, and this would all be a non issue had Sony hired a decent legit security hacker to test and harden their defenses as well as implement decent security protocols, but then Sony would have to spend money to secure your data and heavens knows we cant have Sony making less money now
kristoffe@AgrovateThem, you just read like someone who wants to do something illegal and not get in trouble for it. And SONY never needs to worry about my data. FTW. You don't dismiss the hacker by stating it will happen anyway. I think the world can survive with one less hacker group, whatever the level.
So according to Agro, we shouldn't lock up criminals, it only aggrivates them, lolz. Sorry but I don't subscribe to the fear factor to allow people to do criminal activity. Cowards do.
hellwigI have to think Sony's non-open mentality hurt them here, especially considering they were using the open Apache webserver. Maybe they should have been using Microsoft IIS. That might have been more to their liking. "A webserver anyone can use without paying someone else for it? That's absurd! Imagine if just anyone could use BluRay or MemoryStick without paying us, it would be MADNESS!"
nice, lets take what i wrote out of context shall we, the cost to the system of locking up these kids vs the pay off is not worth it, what good would locking up a bunch of kiddies, other then you enjoy paying for these kids meal and boarding through your taxes, and prison is a lottery, kids who go in can easily come out has hardened career criminals. These kids currently are just a marginal hassle to society, not even a threat.
what kind of thinking goes along the lines that if there were no hackers Sony would not need to secure my data, nearly always the effects of hacker groups can be negated with enough planning, and i believe your overplaying the effects of hacking, there is a greater risk from phishers and Trojans (perpetrated by a different class of criminals) then from hackers
i guess when we locked up all those thieves that theft suddenly stopped huh, reality check, if you want to solve the problem you better go to the root cause rather then the symptoms
if Sony were to be found of criminal negligence would you ask that they be thrown into prison too? or would you prefer to be more selective with your definition of criminals
Reading both of your posts was a waste of time. Sony should be punished if it is found guilty for neglect.
Want to hear something ironic? It's probably more pointless to argue with you, than pursuing this case, according to you line of reasoning.

Debate 2012: Ten things you don't know about the University of Denver
On Wednesday, the University of Denver will host this election's first presidential debate -- and the first of its kind in Denver. DU has been getting ready for its close-up for months, and the stakes are high for both the school and the candidates. If the night is a success, no matter which candidate comes out on top, DU will look like a winner -- with an estimated 4,000 media outlets in town to tout the school. With that in mind, here are some lesser-known facts about the Rocky Mountain region's oldest private university that could help fill some empty air time.
10. DU was the setting for one of the biggest UFO hoaxes of the twentieth century In March 1950, a mysterious businessman named Silas Newton gave a lecture to a packed hall full of DU engineering students. He was a guest of the class's professor, who had invited Newton to speak about his personal experience with -- wait for it -- flying saucers and their midget occupants.
"Midget Pilot Killed in Crash of Flying Saucer," reads part of an Associated Press headline from 1950. Newton's name was not referenced in this or any other article at the time, and for good reason: According to declassified FBI files, Newton was a shady oil speculator who had previously been arrested for grand larceny. The agency claimed in official documents that Newton's claims were "hogwash." But, of course, that's what the feds would say in the case of a cover-up.
Newton's DU lecture had legs, though. So much so that his story was prominently featured in an early bestselling book on UFOs, Frank Scully'sBehind the Flying Saucers
. Scully, incidentally, was the namesake ofThe X Files

' Dana Scully. Never mind that there was no proof of said spacecraft or its diminutive pilots.
9. DU was once the home of an avowed Nazi In late 1940, Karl Scheuring was an eighteen-year-old student at the University of Denver. The fact that he was German was nothing abnormal; spend a day walking around campus, and you'll likely hear a variety of languages and dialects spoken. The fact that Herr Scheuring was, according to a New York Times article, an "avowed Nazi" who "has remained here as a student and has engaged in public speaking activities, presenting the Nazi point of view," was a problem, however. So the Department of Justice asked him to leave: "We do not know that young Scheuring is not engaged in subversive activities.... We do know that young Germans abroad, if they are good Nazis, do what they are told."
Interestingly, the same NYT piece highlights another, more notable German who was also being asked to leave: Princess Stephanie von Hohenlohe, a close friend of Hitler (!) who also happened to be Jewish spy (!!).
8. DU was involved in Vietnam-era protests In May 1970, National Guardsmen stormed the University of Denver campus, armed with (unloaded) rifles and hellbent on stifling a nascent uprising at what some called "Woodstock Nation West."
"A war protesters' shantytown was torn down for the second time since Monday," reads a contemporary newspaper account of the incident. This was no Occupy-like tent city, though; when law enforcement showed up, they hauled away ten tons of construction materials that had been amassed on the campus lawn. In a large display of force that equaled what today would be one-tenth of the entire student body, a thousand armed servicemen took control of the village and threatened to arrest anyone who tried to rebuild it. Afterward, students planted flowers in the fire pits that protesters had left when their shantytown was demolished.
