Editor's note: Pending an FDA decision, 23andMe no longer offers new customers access to health reports referred to in this post. Customers who purchased prior to November 22, 2013 will still be able to see their health reports, but those who purchased after that time will not. Those customers will have access to ancestry information as well as access to their uninterpreted raw data.
Ashkenazi Jews are one group that fall under the umbrella of "European", but it's clear from numerous studies that they're genetically unique and distinct from the European population at large. Most people with Ashkenazi ancestry trace their DNA to Eastern and Central Europe, but also have Middle Eastern ancestry, which is just one reason for their genetic "uniqueness".
Genetic Variation Between and Within Populations
It's clear that people with European ancestry are genetically distinct from those of Asian or African descent, but what's less obvious is that genetic variation also exists within European groups. In these plots from a study by Elimear Kenny, you can see the genetic variation between major ancestral groups (left) and within a population (right). Jewish groups fall into the European cluster on the left, but people with Ashkenazi ancestry (blue) form a unique cluster that is largely distinct from Caucasian (CEU; green) and other Jewish populations (various colors) on the right. Individuals who are part Ashkenazi fall in between the Caucasian and Ashkenazi clusters.
The challenging history of Jewish groups has also contributed to their genetic uniqueness. During the Jewish Diaspora — or migration of Jewish people from the Middle East to other parts of the world — the vast majority of Jewish individuals married and raised families within their faith. Many generations later this means that Ashkenazi Jews can appear more genetically related than they actually are.
This genetic isolation has had important implications for health. People with Ashkenazi ancestry are more likely to carry genetic factors that cause single-gene recessive Mendelian disorders where you need two bad copies of a gene to get the disease. Examples include Gaucher disease, Canavan disease, and Tay-Sachs disease. Because of this higher likelihood, screening for these genetic variants in prospective parents is standard practice for Jewish individuals starting families.
(23andMe tests for most mutations routinely screened in the Ashkenazi Jewish population for these conditions).
23andMe customers can learn about their ancestry and view their results for Gaucher disease, Canavan disease, and Tay-Sachs disease in their account.

A number of multi-gene conditions (or those caused by genetic variation in a handful of genes) are also more common in people with Ashkenazi ancestry. One example is Crohn's disease, which people with Ashkenazi ancestry are two to four times as likely to develop compared Europeans in general. Although it's not yet clear why the rates are higher in this population, it's likely that genetic factors specific to individuals with Ashkenazi ancestry play a role.
Knowing about your ancestry can teach you about your family's heritage and your risk for disease — and more knowledge means more informed decisions.
May is Jewish American Heritage Month. Check back later to read about genetic risk factors for Crohn's disease that appear to be specific to people with Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry. You can also read about uncovering Jewish ancestry in guest posts by 23andMe's Ancestry Ambassadors, Tim Janzen, CeCe Moore and Andrea Badger.

I had to be the one to say it, this is the most boring iPhone launch I have seen to date. Maybe I speak for myself but none of these were shockers. Almost 15-20 minutes now talking about revamped iTunes & iPod.. really? Maybe it's because I've watched through everyone one of these key-notes since the original debut.
Don't get me wrong.. I"ll buy it but was really hoping the leaks were not true & Apple would release something NEW up their sleeves.
Quick question guys. I'm buying this thing and I'm curious if when they say "pre-ordering begins on Sept. 14" does that mean (historically) that I can order midnight on 09/14 or at some other specific time?
Dissapointed with this iphone. Expected atleast 12 MP camera with a wider screen and finger print scanner. Nothing new, just a few enhancements to speed.
LOL....wow really???? Should have just called it the 4SS. S3 here I come.
i really hope the rumors about the design ain't true... oh well~
This stupid phone better LOOK amazing because it doesn't sound that amazing
lol I swear nobody can please y'all. You seriously think this is a more boring release than the 4S last year? Seriously? Come on, I can't wait to dump my 3GS for an iP5.
A True 16:9 Ratio Display, 1 Row Wide/1 Row Long, Wireless Charging, 1080p HD Front Facing Camera, NFC Capability. Should I go on?
It's 2012 and Apple still thinks it's a big deal to talk about turn by turn navigation...
Seems like Apple is playing catch up and they are getting closer to what the S3 is. One good thing may come about this new iPhone...hopefully the S3 price gets lower because I can't wait to get rid of my iPhone 4.
The new iPod Nano seems to be the best part of this event.
THE LEAKS killed the "iPhone 5". Apple needs to shoot and kill anyone responsible for the leaks, lol. i mean there is no anticipation anymore what so every. The iPhone 4 leak was bad, the iPhone 5 leaks were just AWFUL for apple. Im not impressed even though the added hardware is actually really nice because i wanted a "wow" factor that the leaks took away from me.
Totally underwhelmed. 😠
Disappointed with the iP5, very disappointed. But I'll not be buying a GS3. Why? Because one thing Apple products are is polished and that's what I like.
Samsung products I'm sure are great but they, (to me at least), feel and look horrid.
I don't even know if I'll upgrade to this actually.

CollegeSoccerNews.Com Team of the Week | Ivy Release
TopDrawerSoccer Team of the Week | CollegeSoccerMadness Player of the Week
PHILADELPHIA – From week to week, it seems as if a different player has stepped up to keep Penn unbeaten in the Ivy League and continue the climb to the top of the Ancient Eight table. This past weekend, it was Stephen Baker who drove Penn's comeback against Yale, factoring in on all three goals as the Quakers twice rallied to tie the match before winning in overtime.
Based off of his game-winning goal, two assist performance, Baker was in line for some recognition – and he has earned it. On Monday, Baker was named Ivy League Player of the Week, ECAC Player of the Week and Philadelphia Soccer Six Player of the Week while earning a spot on CollegeSoccerNews.com's National Team of the Week. Tuesday morning, Baker earned a spot on TopDrawerSoccer.com's National Team of the Week and was honored as CollegeSoccerMadness.com's Ivy Player of the Week.
Twice, Baker whipped up assists to bring Penn level in the match, each a served up ball from a Penn corner which found the head of a Penn player and then the back of the net. Each of those came in the second, the final assist tallied on a Jonny Dolezal goal in the 87'.
In overtime, Baker pounced on a loose ball after a Yale turnover, getting the last touch on a ball in the 94' to give Penn its first overtime win since 2011.
Baked was joined in earning Philadelphia Soccer Six recognition by Matt Poplawski. The freshman, who was on the receiving end of Baker's first assist, was named PS6 Rookie of the Week.
Baker, Poplawski and the Quakers are back on the field Tuesday night against No. 9 Penn State at Rhodes Field with kickoff scheduled for 7 p.m.

Interview: ASOS 'In Your World'
Australians get first dibs on the new SS13 collection!
Australia is a great country for a number of reasons — Vegemite, Carlton beer, John Farnham, and getting to tell foreigners we ride kangaroos to work being among them. Our fine land has just gotten even better, with the world exclusive premiere of ASOS' new SS13 collection (see the campaign images throughout this post). The British online retailer loves Australia so much that they're giving us first dibs on their new-season product — shot gun! It's online now.
Yesterday we caught up with ASOS' founder/CEO, Nick Robertson; the Head of Fashion, Caren Downie; and Head of PR, Annette Burke to talk shop.
Ingrid Kesa: First up, why did you decide to share your SS13 collections with Australia before the rest of the world?
Annette Burke: We noticed a lot of fashion coming out of Australia. It took us by surprise how quickly the Australian market's growing for us and we noticed that your tastes and demands weren't necessarily different from other fashion consumers around the globe. What we noticed with some other brands is that they come in with the completely wrong approach — they come in with last season pieces at inflated prices — so we just wanted to give you next season product before anyone else in the world has it, and cater to your seasonality in that way.
Has online shopping led to a more intelligent consumer? I find that on the one hand it's easier to make impulse purchases, but it's also easier to shop around and hunt down the lowest price.
Annette: I think yes, it definitely has given consumers much more insight.
Nick: You can check prices with the click of a mouse and that was our logic with putting a lot of product under one roof. Ironically, it's sort of department store-esque — you've got a whole selection of brands, but when you take those physical walls away you can include even more product. Today there's about 70 000 products available, compared to Selfridges that at a last count had around 14 000. We're going to take it to a whole new level — there's about 2000 new products dropping every week.
Crazy! How do you keep track of it all?
Nick: You don't. Once it's gone, it's gone [laughs].
So with 70 000 products, what's the best-selling item?
Caren Downie: For women, it's almost always a lace dress by ASOS. Footwear is also a good-seller, especially by our Maroon label. For men, it's chinos and jeans. Tailoring is really big in Australia, and it's getting bigger for womenswear too.
I love Lena Dunham — we actually interviewed her a few issues ago — and I am obsessed with Girls, but she's not your average Hollywood star. Why did you decide to put her on the cover of the ASOS magazine?
Annette: Well, it's a fairly good indicator the way she's resonated with you. We choose people who are brave in their fashion, and she's also been really brave with what she's doing with Girls and it's had quite an impact globally.
Nick: It's always been about a young emerging talent, so often actors and musicians. If you look back, we were the first UK magazine to feature Lady Gaga on a cover. If you look back at the covers, often the cover stars are obscure and then in a couple of months they're massive and ubiquitous.
Annette: We choose girls who are really on the cusp of something. We had Claire Danes earlier this year just as Homeland was taking off, and the same obviously with Lena this month. Rita Ora was last month, who is now everywhere. We really just choose girls who resonate with us.
So Caren, I have a question for you. What can we expect from the SS13 collections?
Caren: First of all there's the Salon collection, which is something we developed specifically for a kind of going out, occasion-based summer, particularly with bright colous and sunshine in mind. There's lots of embellishments, lots of sequins, quite a lot of handwork, so pieces you could wear to a summer wedding... Our design team works on their trends way ahead of time, before the catwalks come out. Basically the trend is called Caravan — it's quite a casual trend, there's lots of chambray, that whole kind of Marrakech thing, lots of prints going on.
How do you come up with the trends?
Caren: We pull from everywhere — Tumblr, the internet, magazines — even if it's something three seasons old we use it as inspiration if we think that it's going to be relevant. It's really down to the design team. There are 24 designers in womenswear, and ten in men's.
Do you find that boys tend to get into online shopping? You always see bored boyfriends being dragged around shopping centers...
Nick: Girls will browse all day every day and probably purchase once or twice a month, whereas men will browse once a month and probably purchase once every six months. It's hard when you go into a shop, there aren't actually that many great mens fashion stores, so we're starting to see a rise in our male consumer.
OK, final question. Obviously ASOS is amazing, but what is it exactly that sets it apart from other online retailers?
Annette Burke: We focus on the design and the way our aesthetics are developed, so lots of print, lots of bright colour, things that really jump off the page because we obviously don't have a brick and mortar store environment so we don't have the opportunity for things to jump out at people in the flesh; for the consumer to be able to touch and feel them.
Nick Robertson: The multi-brand approach is very different to a single brand anyway. A lot of customers look at ASOS as a start rather than a finish point — they're looking at what's cool what's hot across all the brands, not just at one brand. We don't sell Topshop, and that's one of the only brands we don't sell. I'd like to think that our product is just as fashionable if not more so, and, coming from a competitive price point, it's better value actually.
Annette: The site incorporates the editorial that goes around that, making it much more of a fashion destination — somewhere to go if you're really interested in fashion, rather than somewhere you just go to buy.

Wow, did the models underestimate this swell!
9ft, 15 seconds showing the del bay buoy and the va buoy. 10ft, 14 seconds showing on the buoy off hatteras...
Yes,...confirmed. Just got done looking at it. I just saw a "second reef" trying to work, with the high tide no less. When it is pushing up at that spot, you know it is real, and the energy is running deep.
Maybe I picked the wrong day. I have a day trip with the girl on Weds., and was planning an all day surf on Thursday. Maybe I will have something left over for Thursday, with some off shore winds. But as it looks now, Weds. might be Big and sloppy, but way fun at a few select spots. Enjoy if you can.
is it gonna be ridable tomaro with all that sideshore wind ? hahaha swelinfo i thought you were kidding at first (i havn't checked the reports in a while) and i just looked at the bouy data and i was like WHOAH hes not joking !!
Yeah, I went out earlier and was shocked at the energy. It's been awhile since I got caught offguard on the inside and had to scrap for the duckdive.
i'm in daytona right now and this swell is absolute magic for the sandbars here near the pier...we've had onshores all day today and it's still some of the best surf i've seen in a while
thurs lookin like offshores, i'll get some pics of the lines that stretch to the horizon :D (i wish lol)
It shows how far the modelling has yet to go. Its not like this system is some kind of local windswell - big freaking storm right off the coast!
Lookin heavy on the cams... I'm at work bummed.
Hopefully it holds for a good DP.
Hopefully something left for an after work sesh tomorrow with those 25 knot offshores blowing... uhg.:(
Looks like tom. morning is going to be the time to go.

After spending the best part of the past decade at the very top of women's tennis, the last year or so has been somewhat of a reality check for Svetlana Kuznetsova.
A loss of form, combined with an extended spell on the sidelines recovering from a knee injury, led to the Russian sliding down the rankings and also raised questions as to whether she had the appetite to make it back to the top.
Still just 27, the two-time Grand Slam champion is far from finished, though. And this week the competitive fire was clear for all to see as she came through three rounds of qualifying before reaching the quarterfinals of the Apia International Sydney.
Wins over Julia Goerges and Caroline Wozniacki have prompted many to install the Russian as their dark horse for the Australian Open. But more convincing than any performance on court, have been her words off it.
"I never felt sick of the game because I love tennis a lot, but I have been sick of the traveling and staying away from home and my family and friends," Kuznetsova said after her win over Wozniacki.
"I love to work. I love to sweat on the court," she added. "Now I'm back, I feel fresh, and I feel like I want to play."
Kuznetsova, alongside Elena Dementieva, Anastasia Myskina and Maria Sharapova, was one of the first wave of Russian players to break through at Grand Slam level, stunning the New York crowds to win the US Open as a precocious 19-year-old in the summer of 2004.
While Myskina and Dementieva called time on their careers in their mid and late-twenties, respectively, Kuznetsova is keen to emphasize that she will not be following suit.
"I feel like I have so much more to do in tennis. I will have time to stay at home after my career. I have no reasons to stop. Myskina stopped because of her baby and the injury. Dementieva stopped because she decided it was time. My time is not yet," she said.
While her time is certainly not up just yet, Kuznetsova is honest enough to admit that after 12 years travelling the globe, the knee injury, and the time it afforded her away from the court, was something of a blessing in disguise.
"I didn't have surgery, but I was two months on crutches. It was a hard time, but then it was also good for me too," the World No.85 said. "I hadn't stopped for 10 years. I was playing almost all the year, all the Grand Slams, and somehow I needed that break.
"When I was first home I was like 'Really! I don't have to wake up and go to the practice courts tomorrow.' But then after a few months, I felt I needed to work and needed to have a goal."
And that goal was the start of the 2013 season. Now, refreshed, recharged and refocused, Kuznetsova is prepared physically and mentally for a renewed assault on the game's biggest prizes.
"I knew it would be very hard to come back, and there is still more work ahead. But I've been working hard. I didn't have a lot of time also to prepare this season - I had only five weeks - but I've done my best.
"The thing is, I'm positive and happy. And this is, above everything else, what's important for me."

· How does the HAMLET protein, which was lately discovered in mother's milk, prevent the formation of tumors?
· What are the characteristics of mother's milk that change according to the baby's need?
Proteins are basic bioactive molecules and they are required for the cell to carry out its functions. Some proteins act individually or together with other proteins. However, some of them need the help of chemical compounds that are not proteins. These non-protein molecules can be vitamins, minerals or metal ions. Vitamins or inorganic substances are auxiliary proteins and they are generally named as co-factors. Iron, magnesium, cobalt, copper, zinc, selenium are common ions and auxiliary inorganic substances. These proteins do quite amazing things when they get connected to their helpers. One of the most interesting of these takes place in mother's milk.
Allah Creates the Protein Called HAMLET in Mother's Milk As a Result of Miraculous Processes
Mother's milk is a matchless compound created by Allah in order to meet the nutrition needs of the baby in full and to protect the baby against possible infections. The balance of the nutrients in mother's milk is in the most ideal measures, and in the best form for the body systems of the immature baby. Mother's milk, which is called "the miracle mixture" by scientists as the nutritional values of this milk are at ideal measures, is very rich in nutrients that make brain cells grow and accelerate the development of the nervous system. Even a baby formula prepared with the latest technology cannot replace this miracle food. New benefits of mother's milk are found every day as a result of research.
As is known, mother's milk includes many enzymes, vitamins, nucleotides and antibodies. However, scientists have discovered a new protein in mother's milk lately.
This protein, which is the main protein in mother's milk and known as "alpha-lactalbumin", gives mother's milk a superior quality with respect to cow's milk. This is because the protein called beta-lactalbumin in cow's milk is rejected by the baby's body.
A protein called alpha-lactalbumin is produced at the last stages of pregnancy and nursing time. This protein helps the sugar called lactose inside the milk to be synthesized and makes the baby sleep easily and decreases the baby's tension. At the same time, when this protein enters the baby's stomach, it combines with an auxiliary protein called oleic acid. Oleic acid is a well-known fatty acid also called OMEGA 9 (a basic component of olive oil). It decreases blood pressure and prevents deadly diseases that affect the brain. However, when alpha-lactalbumin and oleic acid are combined, a miracle happens and they produce an alpha-lactalbumin protein called "HAMLET" (short for Human Alpha-lactalbumin Made LEthal to Tumor cells) that is deadly to tumor cells in man.
HAMLET Destroys A Great Number of Tumor Cells
As a result of the studies conducted, it was proved that mother's milk, about which hundreds of articles were published, protected babies against cancer but its mechanism has not yet been understood completely. This complex protein, which is produced only in the baby's stomach, kills 40 different types of tumor cells. This protein attacks the cell wall, enters inside and begins to change their shape within half an hour after it combines with tumor cells and kills them in six hours on average. However, the interesting thing about this protein is that it can distinguish healthy cells from tumor. Scientists have not yet understood how this protein recognizes tumor cells. It is of course impossible that cells with no mind or consciousness can distinguish between healthy cells and tumor cells. These cells can distinguish between healthy and dangerous cells only by Allah's inspiration. In the Qur'an, Allah's sovereignty over all living things is revealed as such:
"I have put my trust in Allah, my Lord and your Lord. There is no creature He does not hold by the forelock. My Lord is on a Straight Path." (Surah Hud, 56)
The interesting point is that the alpha-lactalbumin and oleic acid that form this protein do not have the ability to destroy tumors on their own. Alpha-lactalbumin and fatty acids exist naturally in mother's milk. But they need to turn into a compound in the baby's stomach to become the HAMLET protein that destroys the tumor. It is of course a great miracle that Allah creates the cure before the disease, and places all these molecules inside the milk that the baby will drink.
When the protein in mother's milk, fatty acids and enzymes in the baby's stomach are not created at the same time, their ability to destroy tumors disappears. No doubt that this is one of the best examples of Allah's flawless art of creation. In one verse it is revealed:
"His command when He desires a thing is just to say to it, 'Be!' and it is." (Surah Ya Sin, 82)
Allah Creates Mother's Milk According to the Baby's Needs
It is clear that the mother has not decided by herself to produce mother's milk, which is the most ideal nutrient for her baby, born in need of protection and nutrition, on her own. Therefore, the nutritional values of the mother's milk are not determined by the mother; this is because the mother cannot possibly know the nutrients required for her baby moment to moment. The mother cannot control the contents of the milk that are formed inside her body. Even if its qualities are not completely defined, the mother's milk changes according to the growth phases of the baby, and the milk's content differs according to the nutrients the baby needs during a certain period. Almighty Allah, Who knows the needs of every being and grants them, creates mother's milk inside the mother's body for the baby:
Allah creates special treatments and a special nutrient that contains medicine for the baby. The production center of this medicine is the mother's body. The mother's body detects the invaders by caring only for the baby. This situation is so perfect that it cannot be explained by coincidences. There is no doubt that Allah creates a very special connection between the baby and the mother. It is revealed in the verse:
"We have instructed man concerning his parents. Bearing him caused his mother great debility and the period of his weaning was two years: 'Give thanks to Me and to your parents. I am your final destination." (Surah Luqman, 14).
Mother's milk is the nutrient that the baby can digest most easily. Even though it is a very rich nutritional drink, its digestion is very easy in accordance with the baby's sensitive systems. So as the baby uses less energy to digest nutrients, it can use its energy for other bodily functions, growth and development of organs.
Mother's milk, which is always ready with its ideal temperature, plays an important role in brain development with the sugars and fats it includes. Besides this, elements such as calcium play a major role in the baby's bone development. Even though this miraculous mixture is named as milk, 90% of mother's milk is actually composed of water. This is also a very important aspect, because babies also need water as liquid as well as nutrients. Water and other foreign substances other than mother's milk may not be so hygienic. However, the baby's need of water is met with mother's milk, 90% of which is water.
HAMLET Is the Most Effective Medicine Yet Produced in the World
1- It kills a wide variety of tumor cells. However, it does not touch healthy and mature cells.
2- It kills more than 40 tumor cells, even those very difficult to treat with medicines.
3- It kills tumor cells with a natural and non-toxic mechanism. Therefore, it does not harm healthy tissues, in contrast to cancer medicines.
4- It exists naturally in human milk and causes lower risk of cancer in children that feed with mother's milk and in their mothers.
Almighty Allah, the All-Knowing, created mother's milk and HAMLET, which is an important protein complex in this milk, as one of the strongest medicines. Our Lord's name "Al-Shafi" (One Who gives health) is revealed in one verse as such:
"And when I am ill, it is He Who cures me;" (Surah ash-Shu'arah, 80)

Patients using a premium rate telephone number are subsidising costs at a doctor's surgery, the Guardian can reveal.
A freedom of information disclosure shows Handsworth Medical Centre, in Handsworth Avenue, Highams Park, makes nearly £500 a month from its 0844 number.
The practice introduced the premium rate line in March 2012 to replace an outdated system, signing a five-year contract with telecoms provider NEG, now known as Surgery Line.
But the surgery says at the time it was 'misled' about the 'true cost' to patients.
It also says it is looking at ending the premium rate, but would face high settlement costs.
In the 2012/13 financial year, the practice used the £475 a month 'subsidy' to offset monthly phone bills averaging £1,659.
The total cost of the phone system and calls for this period were £19,908 and the income generated for that period totalled £5,495.
Practice manager Josie Camplin said the premium rate was recommended to the surgery back in 2012.
She said: "At that time a 0844 number was an approved system recommended by the Local Medical Committee of the BMA and we were led to understand that patients with a land line would pay a local rate charge as would most mobile phone users who had contracts.
"We have introduced a local number in parallel to the 0844 number as an interim measure, whilst looking at options for moving away from the 0844 number.
"We are currently investigating options to see whether we can change provider mid contract, but are aware that there will be very high settlement charges."
The surgery's local rate number is 0203 006 9216.
Ian Galpin of the nation-wide 'Fair Telecoms Campaign', said:
"The practice seems to have been misled on a number of levels about the usage of 0844 numbers and has made an extremely bad business decision long after it was advised against the use of the 0844 numbers.
"That said, patients cannot be asked to contribute a penny more to this scheme."
A local rate number was introduced in December and is advertised in the reception, on the practice website and the NHS choices website.
A spokeswoman from Surgery Line said:
"Surgery line customers are not forced to continue to use the 0844 numbers until their long-term contracts end – it is open to them to move to a geographic number on request.
"Such customers can switch, free of charge, to numbers charged at the geographic rate.
"The business cannot comment on the individual commercial arrangements of its customers. Surgeries have a contract for the lease of their telephone system, regardless of whether they use 084 or not.
"The payment of that system lease is down to the surgery's own commercial arrangement as with other services they contract for."
Accounts for last year have not yet been released, but Ms Camplin has said the "level of subsidy remains constant", indicating patients calls to the minimum 4p-a-minute line has generated the practice over £10,000 to date.
The five year contract is due to expire at the end of March 2017.

SUGAR LAND, Texas - A string of home burglaries in Sugar Land leads police to believe thieves are getting better at out-smarting home alarm systems.
Police said the crooks are breaking into the homes through a back window or door so passersby won't see them. But once inside, burglars were also very careful to make sure nothing triggered the home's security system.
One homeowner returned from a 10-day family vacation to find her home in the Glen Laurel subdivision ransacked and her 82-year-old mother's antique jewelry stolen.
"My mother couldn't sleep. Right now, she's still scared," said the victim who did not want to be identified.
One street over, another family came home from vacation Tuesday morning to find the same damage. And police said it was the same scenario.
"The suspects remained in the master bedroom or adjoining rooms, and stayed away from the living room or the den, where typically, there are motion sensors that would activate a security alarm," said Doug Adolph with the city of Sugar Land.
Police were called to a third burglary Monday night in the Ashford Lakes subdivision. They said someone tried to break in through a back bathroom window. But when the alarm went off, the burglar ran off.
Despite these cases, the city of Sugar Land said burglars are not breaking into homes more often.
From Jan. 1 to June 5, 2011, there were 83 home burglaries in the city of Sugar Land. There have been 80 for the same period this year.
Sugar Land police remind homeowners to sign up for the city's house watch program if you will be away for an extended period of time. Police will stop by and check your home free of charge. They will also send an officer to your home to perform a free security assessment.

AN exhibition commemorating the Accrington Pals opens today.
The First World War and Accrington Pals exhibition will feature a wall of honour, photographs of the Pals, interpretive images, and several special events.
A letter from iconic French general Joseph Joffre linking the town's famous Tiffany glass collection to one of the worst events in the town's history will also go on display.
The letter, dated May 20, 1917, was written by Joffre to Joseph Briggs, an Accrington man who was a senior manager at Tiffany Studios in New York.
In it, he thanks Joseph, who later presented Accrington with its world-famous collection, for the 'delightful token you and your associates were good enough to present to me'.
The token, a life-size bronze statue of Joffre, was presented to the general by a committee chaired by Briggs.
It was taken back to France by Joffre, where he planned the Battle of the Somme, which led to thousands of brave Pals soldiers losing their lives.
And despite extensive searches, neither Joffre's family or French military authorities can find any trace of the statue today.
Gallery co-ordinator Yvonne Robins said: "This is an incredible link between our new exhibition of the First World War and the Accrington Pals, and our permanent exhibition of Tiffany glass."
At noon today Hyndburn mayor, Coun Judith Addison, opened the exhibition at a ceremony followed by a free concert and singalong of First World War era songs at 1pm.
Pals historian Walter Holmes has supplied numerous images from his collection for the gallery to show, and letters, medals and postcards will also be displayed.
Visitors to the exhibition, which will last until May 25, will be able to become a 'war artist', dress up, and write a postcard home.
And on Sunday, a free family workshop will be held, where visitors can create their own soldier and nurse figures, from 2pm.
For more information, call the gallery on 01254 233782.

English 101 Section A05. Writing about Pop Culture
Pop culture has become such a part of our world that we may not fully realize the ways in which it influences us. In this class, students will study and respond to a variety of readings which analyze and question the effects pop culture has on society at large and in their own lives. By the end of the semester students will be able to create comprehensive works through practicing writing as a process—from the early draft stages and research, to revision and rewriting. Working closely with peers and the instructor is an essential part of this course. Class will rely heavily on workshops, peer reviews, conferences, class discussions and presentations.

San Diego is currently in first place in the PCSC Coastal Division with a 6-2 record, but the Toreros must still play series against Santa Clara, Loyola Marymount and Sacramento State. The Gaels are currently in second in the division with a 4-3 record after holding the tiebreaker over Sacramento State (4-3) and having one less loss than LMU (4-4).
Saint Mary's enters the weekend with a 15-20 overall record this season. The Gaels swept a tripleheader against Sacramento State to open conference play but then dropped three-of-four to San Diego this past weekend. Most recently, SMC hosted a midweek contest against No. 1 California on Wednesday, falling to the Bears, 9-0. Rebecca Sabatini led the Gaels on Wednesday against the Bears, going 3-for-3 with three singles against the two Cal aces.
Kayla Gonzales has led Saint Mary's in conference play so far this season, going 10-for-24 for a .417 average with three doubles, a home run and eight RBI. Amelia McIntosh has hit .364 (8-for-22) in PCSC action, while R. Sabatini has gone 8-for-25 for a .320 average.

Sabatini leads the team with five home runs this season.
The SMC pitching staff has a 3.89 ERA overall and 2.15 ERA in conference play, while opponents are hitting .278 against the Gaels for the season. Jessica Lemmon (8-9, 3.50 ERA) and Britany Linton (6-7, 4.32 ERA) continue to pitch the majority of innings for Saint Mary's this season. Lemmon has thrown a team-high 104.0 innings this season, allowing 101 hits and 52 earned runs with 52 walks and 79 strikeouts. Linton has started a team-high 16 games and thrown 94.0 innings, allowing 118 hits and 58 earned runs with 30 walks and 45 strikeouts.
The Roadrunners enter the weekend series with a 10-30 overall record and a 3-5 mark in PCSC play. CSUB started conference play losing three-of-four to San Diego and then had a surprising series split with Coastal Division favorite Loyola Marymount this past weekend. Most recently, the Roadrunners dropped two games to UC Santa Barbara this week on the road.
CSU Bakersfield is hitting .258 as a team this season with a .337 slugging percentage and a .338 on base percentage. Laura King leads the Roadrunners this season with a .373 average (50-for-134), while Shay Fryer leads the team with 22 RBI and Amy Ricciardi leads the team with four home runs.
On the mound, the Roadrunners have a team ERA of 6.00 and teams are hitting .315 against them. Sarah Hoag (5-17, 5.40 ERA) leads the team with 114.0 innings pitched, allowing 88 earned runs with 57 walks and 55 strikeouts. Marissa Hiller (2-8, 8.16 ERA) has started a team-high 20 games, while Taylor Desilva (3-5, 5.01 ERA) has pitched 67.0 innings and leads the staff in ERA.
The Gaels are 9-7 all-time against Bakersfield, including claiming three-of-four from the Roadrunners last season in Moraga.
Following the series in Bakersfield, Saint Mary's will play another PCSC road series at Santa Clara next weekend. The Gaels and Broncos will play doubleheaders on Saturday, April 21 and Sunday, April 22.

Student Housing
Live at the Gradplex and live next door!
Apartment-style housing is available at the Lettie Patte Whitehead Graduate Complex, better known as the Gradplex. Adjacent to the Law School, the Gradplex has two-, three-, and four- bedroom apartments furnished with all the basics. The apartments include a kitchen, living/dining area and one or two bathrooms. Rent varies depending on the number of bedrooms but includes all utilities, private telephone with voicemail, cable TV, and high-speed Internet access.
Convenient to the Law School, the Gradplex is also a short walk to Colonial Williamsburg or a hop on the bus that stops at the Gradplex entrance and ventures beyond historic Williamsburg to other shopping and entertainment areas.
About 20 percent of the Law School student body secures housing at the Gradplex. Apartment-mates may be students from any of the various William & Mary graduate programs. The Gradplex does not accommodate families or married couples.
Off-campus housing
The Williamsburg area has an abundance of neighborhoods which comprise single family, condo and apartment living. Local newspapers and realty companies are good resources for both purchasing and renting. The apartment guide, HotPads, RenttoOwnLabs.com, trulia, Zillow, or zumper may be useful to hunt down appropriate living accommodations. Off Campus Partners maintains a database of area landlords seeking renters and one of students seeking roommates. Finally, our Admission Office produces a Housing Bulletin that is mailed to you upon admission.
Have kids?
The Williamsburg area is kid-friendly. Both public and private school options are available as are numerous recreation activities. Links to many of these resources are conveniently compiled by the College.
Dining on campus
Greenberry's, the Law School coffee shop, offers fresh soups, sandwiches, salads and sushi. Or just stop in the Student Lounge for a caffeine fix with specialty coffees and teas or a healthy juice drink.
Purchase a meal plan and dine at any number of University facilities where food choices ranges from down-home favorites at the Sadler Center dining hall to the upscale food court at the Marketplace Cafe or to refined cuisine like blackened tuna and arugula pasta at "The Caf."

DETROIT - Lawyers representing Detroit in its quest to enter the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history say eliminating pension benefits for retirees isn't among their goals.
Jones Day law firm attorney Bruce Bennett also told federal Judge Steven Rhodes on Tuesday that he doesn't think the state has an obligation to guarantee municipal pensions.
Rhodes is holding hearings Tuesday and Wednesday ahead of next week's trial to determine whether Detroit is eligible for bankruptcy.
City unions and retirees point to the threat to pensions as among the reasons why bankruptcy should be denied. They say pensions are protected by Michigan's Constitution.
"Kevyn Orr has made it clear he plans on gutting the Detroit retirees' pensions in violation of the state constitution," said AFSCME union lawyer Michael Artz.
State-appointed emergency manager Kevyn Orr has said federal bankruptcy law supersedes state law.
"If the public can go to ballot booth and repeal a law than have the legislature to introduce a substantial similar law, right on its heels then there is no referendum in Michigan," said former Detroit candidate for mayor Krystal Crittendon.
Orr says Detroit has $18 billion or more debt, and that pensions are underfunded by $3.5 billion.
"We very strongly feel there is an issues of whether or not state officials should be allowed to hide behind the bankruptcy process and not be accountable to the citizens of Detroit," said AFSCME lawyer Sharon Levine.

ROB ZOMBIE Discusses His Upcoming 'Halloween' Remake
July 22, 2007, 09:23:48 am »
Ryan Rotten of ShockTillYouDrop.com recently conducted an interview with Rob Zombie about Rob's latest film, an adaptation of the 1978 horror classic "Halloween". A couple of excerpts from the chat follow:
ShockTillYouDrop.com: How did the test screening out here go?
Rob Zombie: The test screening was through the roof. Still, even if the movie audiences love it, you feel weird after those screenings. I went out to see "Transformers" and after ["Halloween"] was over [the Dimension execs] all came up to me and had these looks on their faces and I was like, "Oh, Jesus. What happened?" and they said the scores were unbelievable.
ShockTillYouDrop.com: Was that the same sentiment at the East Coast screening?
Zombie: That went great too. The West Coast version of the film we showed was far more finished than the East Coast version, so it scored much better. That's to be expected. This whole thing has been amazing just for me, because we've been doing ADR and sound now, and a scene will just jump, especially for a horror movie. Once you get the sound effects and music in there it's a whole different ballgame. When you test these things with rough sound and temp music, it's a real nightmare.
ShockTillYouDrop.com: After the first test screening you went back to do some re-shoots...
Zombie: I hate the word "re-shoots"...
ShockTillYouDrop.com: Additional shooting, we should say...
Zombie: Yeah, the movie tested so well in New York that Weinstein said, "I believe in this movie so much, if there's anything you felt you didn't get and you want to get it, I'll give you the money to go do it." Which is the greatest thing because there's always something more you want. The weird thing about movies I don't think people really understand is that it's like a puzzle put together out of sequence. And it's not until you're done that you go "Shit, if only we had done that," but we didn't because certain things come alive that are unexpected. It's not like you have a script that's your blueprint and you make it exactly what's there. Sometimes things change. Characters might become more important than they originally were, certain characters become less important. One of the things is the character Danny Trejo plays resonated so much stronger than I anticipated. There was one more scene with his character that I needed to resolve with him and it always felt like it was missing and that's one of the things we went back to get.
ShockTillYouDrop.com: Did the picture become even more violent? There are rumors of more deaths.
Zombie: Not really, it was like we'd do some violent thing, but it'd turn into something else. A lot of it is character pieces to connect things. As soon as someone hears we're shooting more people are like "They went back to shoot seven more bloody deaths!" Who makes this stuff up? It was so crazy, some of the stuff we went to shoot was so minor. Like Clint Howard's character calling from Smith's Grove to give the news of Michael Myers escaping. I restructured the timeline of the film and had originally shot those scenes during the day and I needed to shoot them at night because it didn't make sense within the timeline. Nobody had said you need more violence, you need more gore. The movie's fuckin' violent enough.
ShockTillYouDrop.com: Has producer Malek Akkad been pressing you about a sequel?
Zombie: Malek says it, but I'm like there's no f**kin' way. [laughs], I know Scout [Taylor-Compton, a.k.a. Laurie Strode] hasn't signed on for a sequel. There's no way I would do it because I approached this movie singular film unto itself. I don't give a shit about reinvigorating a franchise, that's all well and good because you have to make money but I just wanted to make a great film and that's all Carpenter wanted to do. Not make a series. If they make "Halloween" 2, 3, 4, 9000, I'm not gonna be involved. Because this film has such a great start and a great ending, to go, "Let's start it up again!" Would be, to me, "Oh, Jesus Christ."

Mary Anne Case, "Ronald Coase's Theory of the Firm and the Family"
This talk, recorded on May 1, 2012, puts in an explicitly Coasian context some of the speaker's prior work on the new reproductive technologies and on analogies in the evolution of the laws governing marriage and business corporations. Just as one is now generally free, as Coase observes, to structure one's business affairs in corporate or partnership form, as a franchise operation, or as a sole proprietorship through a series of individual, isolated market transactions, so both law and society now offer a variety of ways to structure one's personal life: the provision of sex and of care (for example, elder and child care) and the production of children can each now be outsourced or internalized within a legally recognized family structure. Using analysis of both long history and the recent past to make predictions about possibilities for the future, the talk will remind listeners that the Mom and Pop production of children has been no more universal a model than the Mom-and-Pop business enterprise. Mary Anne Case is Arnold I. Shure Professor of Law at the University of Chicago Law School.

I have two sons, ages 14 and almost-12, who are both huge video and online game nuts. They have a PS2, they each have a computer and they have a Wii. Ok, so I play on the Wii more than they do, but I am usually playing Wii Fit exercise games while they prefer games with combat and monsters and danger and all that. When it comes to those kinds of games, I'm really not interested. I don't play those games mainly because the 3-D effects most have give me motion sickness.
And since I don't play the games, I don't know who the characters are or how you win or any of that. When they start talking about the games, I either pretend to listen while really tuning them out, or I go the brutal honesty route:"Guys, I have no idea what you are talking about. I don't want to know what you are talking about. I don't want to listen to you talk about it. Go away."
One thing I do know is that their newest acquisition is a game called "Dragon Age II," and that, at least for the moment, it is the greatest game ever created. Even though I have tried my best, I haven't been able to avoid hearing "Dragon Age this" and "Dragon Age that" as they excitedly discuss the latest developments in their game play.
I have not, however, heard them say a single damn thing about "Dragon Age II" having a gay character. Maybe that's because, having been raised by two moms and around innumerable LGBT people, the idea of a game including a gay character is so blase to them that it's not worth mentioning. I hope that's why. I'd like to think that "gay" is no big deal to my kids.
But apparently, a lot of gamers are not blase at all about the resident gays of "Dragon Age II." In fact, at least one online petition is already circulating to get the game's writer,David Gaider, fired over it.

I've been a Pacers fan all of my life. I've seen big wins & I've seen big losses. I've seen some of our teams overachieve & I've seen others underachieve. I've been on my feet cheering Reggie's three's & I've yelled for a Dale dunk.
But I'll be d@mned if I can think of a much better more inspiring game than last night.
Usually I would give a good, bad & ugly on a game review.
But last night get's none of that.
It was all good. Sure some things could have gone better & I wish Croshere would have grabbed some more boards or that Jackson might have shot a little better.
But this was a rag tag team that was thrown together out there & the system won.
Even though Big Z tore it up I thought Pollard fought like a warrior.
Even though Croshere didn't rebound worth a d@mn I thought he was as clutch as any player we've seen on the floor. Two big three's & a huge steal at the end of the game.
Ron Artest played a great great great game. I won't lie & tell you I wasn't worried that he would throw up 35 shots or some such crap. But IMO, he only forced maybe one shot all night long. His defense on King James was stifiling as usual. Fans of Artest can be very proud of him last night.
Jamaal Tinsley was out of his mind good. I've seen him play a better game when he was a rookie but I don't think I've ever seen him play a more complete game.
Jon Bender was a force in a very short time.
Fred Jones was solid & IMO, showed he deseres a spot in the rotation.
Even Gill was like a deadeye sniper from the floor.
I guess if you have to find one cloud in the sky it was probably that Harrison definately was out of shape & will not be a real contributer any time soon. But even that can be forgiven because his training camp & pre-season was cut short.
That was a great game. 11/3/04 will go down as one hell of a great day for me.

Clorex - Thursday, August 07, 2014 - link"The motherboard itself will feature RGB lighting..." I think you mean keyboard? Reply
hawler - Thursday, August 07, 2014 - linkWhile he does mean keyboard, motherboard isn't exactly wrong. Sure, it doesn't mean motherboard in the usual way we think of when talking PCs, really all motherboard means is the place when things are connected/housed. It's like a mothership but rather than being a ship it's a board. So technically it is correct, even if it is confusing and probably should have been said somewhat differently Reply
Splaver - Thursday, August 07, 2014 - linkAlthough the idea behind the "docking" is sound, and MAYBE arguably useful, I can't help but think it's going to be a really cheap feeling keyboard. The pictures certainly make me doubt the flat parts of the keyboard are concealing a set of all mechanical switches. Oh well. Reply
jmke - Thursday, August 07, 2014 - linkUSB charging port on keyboard for phone, or else the phone battery will just drain. make it a retractable cable too.
beside that, do like the idea, now your phone becomes a part of the gaming experience, even if it is just a few shortcut apps to start out with Reply
nathanddrews - Thursday, August 07, 2014 - linkI think this is cool, BUT (as Pee-Wee Herman once said, "Everyone I know has a big 'but'") how is this any different than just setting your phone in a cradle behind/next to your keyboard and installing Unified Remote or some other computer-controlling app?
Time will tell if it is easier to use or a more unified experience. I'm looking forward to your review! Reply
LauRoman - Thursday, August 07, 2014 - linkWhere's the Heltr? Reply

Someone once said the Chiefland Citizen " is read all over and believed like the Bible."
That readers put stock in what the Chiefland Citizen and Cedar Key Beacon publish is humbling and it means we meet our goal to be honest, credible and ethical in our work.
Print journalism is challenged by every sort of blogger, citizen journalist and anyone with a smart phone. Some have agendas beyond presenting news.
Our agenda is:
• Do what is best for Levy County residents and
• News for ALL of Levy County.
It's simple enough, but not always understood. So in this Sunshine Week, we will practice a little business transparency.
This is a "column." It contains my opinion and observations. My name and face on it says "I stand behind my words." It is not news, which is a story based on facts, or an editorial which is an unsigned statement of position taken by a newspaper.
A name on a news story is a byline and a writer's testament that "I wrote this. This is my original work." It also usually means the person attended or interviewed people who attended the event. When a story is written from a recording of an event it will say so, in writing, at the bottom with the writer's name.
Our ethics (and honesty) policy do not allow us to use fake names or pseudonyms, or borrow a person's name or imply we were somewhere when we were not.
A Staff Report means it failed the byline's originality test and a staff person rewrote a press release or information from a source, rearranged the way information was presented or added information. Press releases that run, with only spelling and grammar corrections, carry the "Special to the Citizen" moniker. Changes are made because it is not our policy to mock people by printing their errors.
News articles run in "news columns." Too often people say they "saw your ad" or they "want to get an ad in the paper" when they are referring to a news story.
News goes into the paper for free. If someone tells you that you must pay to get news in the Citizen or Beacon, feel free to call them a liar — in public. That's what they are.
Advertising is handled by ad sales reps and the ad composition person. They like it that way because that's how they earn their paychecks.
There is a "wall" between us, and news judgements are not made on the basis of whether someone buys an ad. It may have not come in time, been unfit to print, would compromise our ethics policy or something else of greater importance needed the available space.
Two weeks ago, I put all the week's news — only 217 separate items, plus photos, into a folder. That did not include the stories we would write. We only had 32 pages in the paper. Three pages were for classified ads and there were ads on most every other page. Now you know why an item sometimes does not get into print.
I am thankful for those who advertise because they not only provide my paycheck, but they make this newspaper possible for you.
We do not impugn a person or business if they do not advertise. If we have a genuine negative news story on someone who is not an advertiser, we don't handle it differently from any other news item.
We do this so you know the Citizen and Beacon can be "read all over and believed like the Bible."
In my first column, I pledged to do my best, and acknowledged I would fall short of expectations and disappoint you on occasion. I hope that disappointment has been the exception rather than the rule.
And thank you.
Thank you for blessing us by reading and believing.
Lou Elliott Jones is editor of the Chiefland Citizen and Cedar Key Beacon. She can be contacted at 352-493-4796 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

When evaluating exactly who can help the New York Mets improve upon their horrific 2012 bullpen performance, I keep returning to Greg Burke, signed early in the offseason, and already added to the 40-man roster.
This may seem like wishful thinking, and to a certain extent, it is. Burke hasn't pitched in the major leagues since 2009; he pitched for the Orioles at Double-A and Triple-A in 2012, but never earned a big league shot.
Still, some have compared the sidearming Burke to Chad Bradford, but this comparison isn't really apt. Burke throws in the low-90s with his fastball, slider coming in at 83. Bradford's fastball regularly checked in at lower velocity than Burke's slider.
Accordingly, while Bradford struggled throughout his career to get lefties out (except, oddly, in his single season with the Mets), Burke has a better shot of doing so. And he did, last season in particular, putting up strong numbers against lefties and righties.
In this way, Burke has a chance to be more like a different righty sidearmer for the Mets in recent years, Joe Smith. While he was strictly an option against righties while with the Mets, Smith has become a true weapon for the Cleveland Indians. His OPS against righties in 2012 was .600. Against lefties? .585. (Love you, J.J. Putz trade!)
Smith is a fastball/slider pitcher, with comparable velocity on both, though Burke throws a bit harder. But Smith represents a model of what Burke can be.
Considering how many people want to make Josh Edgin something more than a situational lefty, which is career splits indicate would be a massive stretch, I'm surprised to hear the universal conclusion that Burke is a ROOGY only.
This is a year to experiment in the bullpen, by necessity. Burke deserves a look as a crossover guy.

Tuition Information and Resources
UT Arlington: An Outstanding Educational Investment
The benefits of a college degree are clear: College graduates in the United States earn nearly twice as much as their peers with only a high school diploma.

SpartanJet - Thursday, November 10, 2011 - linkWhy didn't I see this before I pre purchased Elder Scrolls V. I would have went with the store version and broken ties with Steam altogether. Reply
sjael - Thursday, November 10, 2011 - linkJust a FYI; Skyrim is a Steamworks game, and thus *must* be activated on Steam. Reply
SlyNine - Friday, November 11, 2011 - linkYea, but the issue is credit card theft. So big deal if you don't add a credit card. Reply
SlyNine - Friday, November 11, 2011 - linkAnd knowing that, I just bought Skyrim on steam. Hope the encryption holds out. (Don't know much about their encryption but if its anywhere near AES128 good luck with that).
Besides your card could be stolen by the clerk at the store just as easily, you should always monitor your account and challenge purchases that you didn't make, Duh. Reply
digitalzom.b - Friday, November 11, 2011 - linkWell, I've been reading quite often that they actually use AES256, so I think we're good. Reply
kmmatney - Friday, November 11, 2011 - linkEverytime you give your credit card to the waiter at a restaurant it's at risk. They just need to take a picture of the card with their phone, and they have the numbers. In Europe, the bring the credit card reader to the table at least. Reply
Ronakbhai - Saturday, November 12, 2011 - linkYeah, actually my brother went to a restaurant with a couple of his friends, and a few weeks later they all had large charges on their accounts from another state across the country. Reply
piroroadkill - Monday, November 14, 2011 - linkAES256.
You don't need to save your credit card details on Steam either. Just uncheck the box each time that says "Save my details". Reply
Anonymous Blowhard - Monday, November 14, 2011 - link> actual response from GabeN
Good Guy Gabe:
- Makes Scrooge McDuck levels of money
- Still responds to everyday Joes emailing him directly
PCI DSS mandates some pretty serious guidelines around the storage of PAN and other payment card data. Reply
KoolAidMan1 - Thursday, November 10, 2011 - linkSkyrim is a Steamworks game, you'd be using it whether or not you bought a physical copy Reply
therealnickdanger - Friday, November 11, 2011 - link... not for Xbox. :) Reply
piroroadkill - Monday, November 14, 2011 - linkBut then you'd be using a gimped version, so.. swings and roundabouts... Reply
anactoraaron - Saturday, November 12, 2011 - linkI had a very similar question:
Why didn't I wait to see that Skyrim is just another poorly done console port before buying the game on Steam? I would have avoided getting this game on my PC and broken ties with Bethesda altogether. Reply
Proxy711 - Thursday, November 10, 2011 - linkYou make it sound like steam was down this whole time. the only thing that was hacked was the steam forums. You could play your games at all times during and after the attacks.
I'm impressed it took this long for steam to have a legit attack get thought, you'd think because steam is such a huge network for gamers with a lot of money and CC info being exchanged they would have been targeted more. Shows Valve knows a lot more about network security then sony, since at least they had info encrypted where as sony had it sitting on a server as plain text lol. Reply
FaaR - Friday, November 11, 2011 - linkThey probably get targetted every single day, with most attacks - hopefully! - rebuffed... To think otherwise is probably giving humanity too much credit, because it's easier to steal from others than becoming successful through your own efforts. And like you say, lots of money flow through Steam, and the prospect of laying hands on tons of dough is a huge scum-magnet. Reply
mi1stormilst - Thursday, November 10, 2011 - linkValve has been hacked before ... let's not for get the whole Half Life 2 fiasco ... it is starting to feel like no one is safe anywhere using the internet. Reply
Paul Tarnowski - Thursday, November 10, 2011 - linkWhat? You're figuring this out just now? Seriously? Reply
silverblue - Friday, November 11, 2011 - linkSteam maintained that the only way someone can get access to your account was down to user carelessness. Funny how someone else got my credentials and it became my fault... and took them a month to sort it out. Hell, they were insistent on having the product key off the HL2 Silver box that I didn't have considering I downloaded it directly from them.

gevorg - Thursday, November 10, 2011 - linkHi Kids!
Call your credit card company and change CC numbers. Reply
Proxy711 - Thursday, November 10, 2011 - linkThey got encrypted CC info so its not like they can just take that data and start buying mass amounts of porn. (*wonders why that's all anyone does with stolen CC numbers*)
Use paypal for payments. I'd rather have 1 site know my CC info then 50 other online stores. Reply
imaheadcase - Friday, November 11, 2011 - linkPaypal is terrible terrible company. Who uses them anymore is crazy.
I've lost count of the people screwed over by them, and not just in the news, personal friends just because paypal did not like how the funds was obtained, or even used.
I know someone who had ebay account CLOSED because someone gave bad feedback claiming the item was stolen, we are talking about 4 pairs of jeans for $10 each. They then closed paypal account with over $2k in it. Reply
B3an - Friday, November 11, 2011 - linkWTF Proxy711? DONT use Paypal you tool. They have stolen money from me, and it wasn't a small amount. This is normal for them. Reply
Earthmonger - Friday, November 11, 2011 - linkEven though Paypal is shady is some regards, this is why I use it. Steam doesn't have my CC info. The only thing I'm worried about here is spam email. I should have used one of my less important accounts. Reply
B3an - Friday, November 11, 2011 - linkCant beleive you think you're actually better off with Paypal than steam. What a joke. Not only have Paypal been breached before but they will take money off you, suspend your account, or not allow funds whenever they feel like it. They're thieves. Theres even multiple sites set up for people that have had Paypal steal from them. Reply
Rand - Friday, November 11, 2011 - linkI had two attempts by some unknown person to log into my Steam account tonight, SteamGuard protected me but given the timing and the fact that no one else aside from myself knew my password it seems awfully likely that some account passwords have been successfully stolen.
I strongly recommend changing your Steam account password if you haven't already. Reply
Syphadeus - Friday, November 11, 2011 - linkYou know what, in this day and age when consumers have to sign their lives away by agreeing to EULA and contractual aspects of Data Protection it seems completely unfair that there aren't harsher penalties for these companies. They take your data, important information and frankly they are not taking sufficient measures to protect it. "Sufficient" is a term in this industry that will change every day. As hackers become more advanced so to must the protection of said data in order to constitute being protected.
So what happens? Does the company get fined? No. They just apologise, and to hell with the data that is stolen and whoever stole it. That's just not good enough. These companies should be independently audited on this criteria and if they fail, they should be legally forced into reviewing their security and and taking necessary remedial action.
I don't give a damn that HL2 was stolen from them, but they should have learnt from that because they didn't half whine about it. They don't seem anywhere near as caring when the data stolen doesn't impact them in the same way. Disgraceful. Reply
piiman - Friday, November 11, 2011 - linkIts virtually impossible to stop hacking. Steam at least has the info encrypted and salted so the chances of them actually being able to use it is slime to none. What gets me is they claim they didn't hack Steam but the forums yet they got a data base with account and cc info. So does Steam keep this info on there forums servers?? It seems obvious to me they did access Steam also.
I think companies need to stop storing CC info and make us enter it EVERY TIME. I know it might be a pain but its much safer. At least give me the option to not store my CC info like some sites do. Reply
piroroadkill - Friday, November 11, 2011 - linkYou can on Steam. I never saved my data. Reply
piiman - Friday, November 11, 2011 - linkreally? I'll have to look harder. I know they only save one but I've never seen the do not save option. will look into it for sure. Thanks Reply
imaheadcase - Friday, November 11, 2011 - linkIts not really a problem, the only problem with them getting the actual CC info is slim to none. However even if they did its still not a big deal, CC company will just cancel out the charges and send you a new one. Reply
piroroadkill - Friday, November 11, 2011 - linkThe only thing is, every single time you buy something, you have to uncheck "save my card details for future use".
It's no big deal, but you have make sure you don't check it. Reply
Glibous - Friday, November 11, 2011 - linkI think it's good that u have the option to save your information. If u enter your information everytime your just as much in risk of theft. So many people have crap virus protection and are at risk of key loggers. I trust a company that invests in security more then my own computer (even though I'm pretty knowledgable at staying secure).
As for PayPal I use it knowing the risks. I don't use it for major purchases just videogames. I've never had a problem so far. Either way your at risk of theft just by different means. Reply
piiman - Friday, November 11, 2011 - linkThe problem is you don't know how much they invest in security, both time and $, until its too late. Reply
Glibous - Friday, November 11, 2011 - linkI don't know dollar amounts but I know they invest more then I have and the common threats plaguing the internet don't really affect those companies. I have the "joy" of dealing with peoples systems all day and 85% of them are virus related. Rootkits, Trojans, Key loggers... Most of them have key loggers and other threats that can be used to cause alot of problems for them. It's definately a good idea to not save your credentials on any site because of the problems companies like Valve, Sony+++++, PayPal+++ have to deal with but theres no absolute safe alternatives. The best way is taking money out of an ATM and buying everything cash. Now you have to worry you don't get mugged. Lol it just never ends Reply

There's nothing like getting beautiful and sexy French lingerie in the mail. OK…I've never really gotten French lingerie in the mail until recently. Panty By Post sent me this amazing pair of lace lavender (super soft) undies from their Signature Line.
Sign up for one of their monthly subscriptions (from the Signature Line or Bridal Line) and you can get a panty or two each month in the mail. The guys can even get in on this too with an Eco-pouch boxer. You also have a choice of thong, hipster, bikini, or a mix of styles. They go up to a size xxxxl and they mail internationally.
Buy a subscription for yourself or as a gift. Imagine getting a "A pretty panty. Mailed Monthly." I think I can get used to this. "The secret to French women's confidence? It's all about what's underneath."
Want to learn more? Watch this…
Disclosure: I was gifted this item. The above is my true and honest opinion.

A BURNLEY bookies was raided by robbers armed with a metal bar.
Two masked men targeted the William Hill betting shop in Briercliffe Road, near Burnley General Hospital, as the lone female manager was working behind the counter.
One of the men kept a lookout at the main entrance, while the other man entered the shop brandishing the weapon.
He tried to force his way into the store office but failed. He then threatened the woman, demanding money.
She retreated into a back room so the man reached under the security glass and grabbed a coin holder containing £137.
Police were alerted to the scene by the manager. Gerard Davies, head of retail security at William Hill, said: "It showed very quick thinking by the manager in deploying the counter plan training.
"It must have been quite a scary incident. "It would have been very unpleasant to say the least, and she did really well. "We have offered the woman our welfare procedure and counselling, which is our tried and tested support mechanism."
The man carrying the metal bar was described as Asian, of slim build and wearing a distinctive zip-up hooded top.
Det Sgt Charlie Haynes, of Burnley CID, said: "We are currently looking at CCTV from the incident and enquiries are ongoing."
Anyone with information about the incident, which happened between 9.20pm and 9.27pm on Saturday, should call police on 101, or call Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

Your gift to help a hardworking entrepreneur will double in impact thanks to a generous World Vision partner.
Belete is from Ethiopia. He has 4 children. He needs a loan of $250 to purchase the second ox needed for farming.
Belete is from Ethiopia. He has 4 children. He needs a loan of $250 to purchase the second ox needed for farming.
Belete is a farmer. He produces cereal and other crops, but the lack of a second ox limited his production. In order to do much of the work on the farm, he would have search for a second ox to borrow from a neighbor.
With a loan from World Vision, Belete will be able to purchase a second ox. With a pair of oxen, he can use his time more productively. With the increase in production from his crops, he hopes to be able to purchase and support additional animals for both work and resale. "The additional income", he said, "will enable me send my children to school and cover every cost related to their education."
"The additional income", he said, "will enable me send my children to school and cover every costs related to their education." This will motivate my neighbors in the village to produce more and send their children to school before they are too old to school.
The Agriculture business sector covers all farming and livestock activities. Some entrepreneurs request loans to help in securing supplies and equipment. Others want to buy more animals to breed or purchase feed and medicines. The majority of our loan clients live in rural communities where agriculture is already understood as a business model. It is for this reason that approximately 50% of our loans are in the agricultural sector.
There is no community update available at this time.
Thank you for supporting a small business loan for Belete Beyene to expand his farming business. After receiving the loan from World Vision, he invested the $250 to purchase another ox to increase his productivity.
Belete has been repaying his loan on time with his new profits. He makes weekly payments of $4.
In addition to repaying his loan, Belete is using additional income to provide his family with healthcare, do home repairs and purchase food for his family.
Belete's four children continue to study in school.
Thank you for supporting Belete and World Vision Micro!

Jennifer Lopez: 'I deserved an Oscar'
In the latest issue of Latina Magazine, Jennifer Lopez laments not winning an Oscar for a movie nobody saw:
"I feel like I had that [Oscar worthy role] in El Cantante, but I don't even think the academy members saw it. I feel like it's their responsibility to do that, to see everything that's out there, everything that could be great." "Well, it is a little bit frustrating. It was funny; when the Oscars were on, I had just given birth on the 22nd, and the Oscars, I think, were a day or two later. I was sitting there with my twins–I couldn't have been happier–but I was like, 'How dope would it have been if I would've won the Oscar and been here in my hospital bed accepting the award?' 'Thank you so much! I just want to thank the academy!' But we joked about it. It's all good. Things will happen when they're supposed to happen. I have the utmost faith and no doubt that it will one day, when and if it's supposed to. You can't get all crazy twisted over it."
Ha ha ha, celebrities are delusional. Zany! Now someone explain to my why the hell Jennifer Lopez's vagina needed to be on the outside of her outfit and the answer better include warding off terrorists.
NOTE: Also, ladies, I'd never make something like this up. *wink*

LAKE FOREST – Those looking for a scare walked away from the sixth annual Haunt at Heritage Hill on Friday satisfied.
The event transformed Heritage Hill Historical Park in Lake Forest into a frightening maze populated with costumed characters and creepy, animatronic props.
About 1,200 people, many in elaborate Halloween costumes, wandered the park, exploring the "haunted" historical buildings.
The evening included a visit by Bela Lugosi Jr., son of the actor who starred in the 1931 horror film "Dracula," Bela Lugosi. Attendees viewed the movie after a question-and-answer session with Lugosi.
