What does the Chronology of Data Breaches contain?
The data breaches noted here have been reported because the personal information compromised includes data elements useful to identity thieves, such as Social Security numbers, account numbers, and driver's license numbers. Some breaches that do NOT expose such sensitive information have been included in order to underscore the variety and frequency of data breaches. However, we have not included the number of records involved in such breaches in the total because we want this compilation to reflect breaches that expose individuals to identity theft as well as breaches that qualify for disclosure under state laws. The breaches posted below include only those reported in the United States. They do not include incidents in other countries.
What does the Total Number indicate?
The running total we maintain at the end of the Chronology represents the approximate number of *records* that have been compromised due to security breaches, not necessarily the number of *individuals* affected. Some individuals may be the victims of more than one breach, which would affect the totals.
In reality, the number given below should be much larger. For many of the breaches listed, the number of records is unknown. Further, this list is not a comprehensive compilation of all breach data (see below).
Is the Chronology of Data Breaches a complete listing of all breaches?
No, it is not a complete listing of breaches. The list is a useful indication of the types of breaches that occur, the categories of entities that experience breaches, and the size of such breaches. But the list is not a comprehensive listing. Reported incidents affecting more than nine individuals from an identifiable entity are included. Breaches affecting nine or fewer individuals are included if there is a compelling reason to alert consumers. Most of the information is obtained from verifiable media stories, government web sites/pages (for example state Attorneys General such as the California AG's breach website), or blog posts with information pertinent to the breach in question. If a breached entity has failed to notify its customers or a government agency of a breach, then it is unlikely that the breach will be reported anywhere. If you are aware of a breach that is not included in our list, below, feel free to contact us here: https://www.privacyrights.org/cc/complaint .
Are there state-specific breach listings?
Some states have state laws that require breaches to be reported to a centralized data base. These states include Maine, Maryland, New York, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Vermont and Virginia (Virginia's notification law only applies to electronic breaches affecting more than 1,000 residents). However, a number of other states have some level of notification that has been made publicly available, primarily through Freedom of Information requests. These states include California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nebraska, Hawaii and Wisconsin. For details, see the Open Security Foundation Datalossdb website: http://datalossdb.org/primary_sources
How often is the Chronology updated?
We usually update this list every two days.
Where do you obtain information about the data breaches that are reported on this Web page?
Most of the breaches summarized below on this page have been obtained from the Open Security Foundation list-serve. As of January 2010, we have expanded our sources to also include Databreaches.net, PHI Privacy and NAID. As of March 2012, we began using the California Attorney General list of data breaches.
- The Open Security Foundation's DataLossDB.org (www.datalossdb.org) offers a free e-mail list-serve on the latest breaches.
To subscribe to DataLoss, send a message to: email@example.com
- Consumers may access a list of data breaches from Datalossdb.org upon creating a username and password. The DataLossDB.org page includes a search engine and news articles for the breaches listed below, and also provides an open source database of its data breach records. It is a flat comma-separated value file that can be imported into a database or spreadsheet program for your own data analysis.
- Beginning in January 2010, we have expanded the sources of our breaches. We now include the following sources:
- Databreaches.net (www.databreaches.net) is a spinoff from www.PogoWasRight.org and compiles a wide range of breach reports since January 2009.
- Personal Health Information Privacy (www.phiprivacy.net/), affiliated with Databreaches.net, is a database that compiles only medical data breaches. Many of these are obtained from the US Department of Health and Human Services' medical data breach list (http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/hipaa/administrative/breachnotificationrule/postedbreaches.html), which provides only minimal information.
- National Association for Information Destruction, Inc (www.naidonline.org) provides monthly newsletters that include a number of data breaches largely due to improper document destruction.
Uses of Chronology of Data Breaches in Publications: Please Footnote the Source Appropriately
Privacy Rights Clearinghouse publishes the Chronology of Data Breaches as a source of information for both past and current breaches. Any individual or organization is welcome to use our data for research as well as general interest. If data from the Chronology is cited in a publication, including papers and research by students, please properly footnote the Chronology of Data Breaches as the source.
It's important to note that our Chronology of Data Breaches does not reflect a complete list of breaches. We obtain information about breaches from the media and from sources such as websites of state Attorneys General for states in which AGs make such information available. In addition, our numbers only include breaches that occur within the United States. No international data breaches are posted. For additional information about the Chronology of Data Breaches, please read our FAQ here.

Article: Headspace stir bar sorptive extraction followed by thermal desorption and gas chromatography with mass spectrometry to determine musk fragrances in sludge samples without sample pretreatment[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: A direct, simple and solvent-free method based on headspace stir bar sorptive extraction and thermal desorption gas chromatography with mass spectrometry was developed to determine 13 musk fragrances (six polycyclic musks, three nitro musks and four macrocyclic musks) in sludge without sample treatment. The optimal headspace stir bar sorptive extraction conditions were achieved when a polydimethylsiloxane stir bar was exposed for 45 min in the headspace of a 10 mL vial filled with 100 mg of sludge mixed with 0.2 mL of water stirred at 750 rpm at 80°C. The stir bar was then desorbed in the thermal desorption gas chromatography and mass spectrometry system, obtaining LODs between 5 ng/g and 30 ng/g. The method applicability was tested with sewage sludge from two urban wastewater treatment plants and from a potable water treatment plant. Results showed galaxolide and tonalide to be the most abundant musk fragrances found in wastewater treatment plants with maximal concentrations of 9240 and 7500 ng/g, respectively. Maximum concentration levels between 35 and 635 ng/g were found for musk ketone, musk moskene, traseolide, phantolide and celestolide in this kind of samples. Concentrations below LOQs of phantolide, galaxolide, tonalide and musk ketone were found in sludge from the potable water treatment plant.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved
Article: Comparison between sampling and analytical methods in characterization of pollutants in biogas[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Different sampling methods involving the collection of biogas by Tedlar bags or adsorption tubes, and different GC-MS injection systems, loop injection or cold trap injection (with bags or by tube desorption), were compared to establish the best method to determine the minority compounds in biogas from sewage treatment plants (STPs). A study of parameters is included, such as the stability of compounds in Tedlar bags or cartridges and the adsorption effect of some less volatile compounds in the thermal desorption system (TD). The optimized methods allowed to determine most compounds at low mgm(-3) levels. Among them, maximum values of D5 (4.84mgm(-3)), decane (95-118mgm(-3)) and H(2)S (2223mgm(-3)) were found in biogas samples.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Personal-care products (PCPs) are organic chemicals widely used in human life daily. Among the most recently studied PCPs, we can find ultraviolet filters, preservatives, antimicrobials, musk fragrances, insect repellents and siloxanes. PCPs are increasingly important emerging organic contaminants due to their presence in environmental waters.We present a review of the most important extraction and chromatographic techniques used to determine PCPs in waters. We also review data regarding the occurrence of these compounds in different kinds of environmental waters and the removal of these compounds in sewage-treatment plants.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: This paper describes the presence of 33 pharmaceuticals and hormones in waters from two sewage treatment plants (STPs) situated in Catalonia, in northeastern Spain. The target compounds were one psychoactive stimulant, one antiepileptic, four analgesics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatories, one lipid regulators, two anti-ulcer agents, nine antibiotics (sulfonamides and macrolides), two beta-blockers, two metabolites, and 11 hormones (free and conjugates). The determination was performed using liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry after enrichment by solid-phase extraction with Oasis HLB sorbent. Most of the pharmaceuticals were found in both influent and effluent samples from the two STPs. The most frequently detected were caffeine, acetaminophen, carbamazepine, diclofenac, ibuprofen, naproxen, sulfamethoxazole, sulfapyridine, sulfathiazole, ranitidine, omeprazole, estrone 3-sulfate, and estradiol 17-glucuronide. Specifically, the highest concentrations found in influents were 19,850ng/L (acetaminophen), 9,945ng/L (caffeine), 4,215ng/L (ibuprofen), 5,695ng/L (sulfamethoxazole), and 5,140ng/L (sulfathiazole). Most of the pharmaceuticals present in influent waters were found in effluents at lower concentrations. The highest concentrations in effluents were 970ng/L (caffeine), 670ng/L (sulfamethoxazole), 510ng/L (bezafibrate), and 1,032ng/L (diclofenac).

Article: Drugs of abuse and their metabolites in waste and surface waters by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: A solid-phase extraction and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (SPE/LC-MS-MS) method was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of nicotine, five drugs of abuse (morphine, cocaine, codeine, methadone, and 2-ethylidene-1,5-dimethyl-3,3-diphenylpyrrolidine) and four metabolites (dihydrocodeine, 6-acetylmorphine, 11-nor-carboxy-Δ(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol, and benzoylecgonine) in water samples. A Fused-Core™ particle column was used as an alternative to sub-2-μm particles in chromatographic separations to work with low backpressures and high efficiencies in short analysis times. Drugs were extracted from waste and surface water with SPE using Oasis MCX cartridges. Electrospray (ESI) in positive and negative mode and tandem MS selected reaction monitoring mode were used for identification and quantification. Calibration by linear regression analysis with deuterated internal standards was used to compensate the matrix effects. Limits of detection were found as low as 0.5-1 ng/L (surface water) and 1-50 ng/L (wastewater). The method was applied to the analysis of different kinds of samples. Wastewater from a sewage treatment plant was collected from three sampling points (after primary, secondary, and tertiary treatments) for a week. The analysis of the samples revealed a significant presence of these drugs in samples from primary treatments, where maximum concentrations of nicotine (1105 ng/L) and benzoylecgonine (3336 ng/L) were found. Most of the compounds showed values between <LOQ and 52 ng/L after tertiary treatment. When surface waters from the Ebro River were analyzed, only benzoylecgonine showed levels between 19 and 35 ng/L.
Article: Stir-bar-sorptive extraction and ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry for simultaneous analysis of UV filters and antimicrobial agents in water samples[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Stir-bar-sorptive extraction (SBSE) with liquid desorption (LD) and ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization triple-quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-(ESI)MS-MS) were used for analysis of six personal care products in environmental water: four UV filters (2,2-dihydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone, benzophenone-3, octocrylene, and octyldimethyl-p-aminobenzoic acid) and two antimicrobial agents (triclocarban and triclosan). Experimental conditions that affect SBSE-LD sorption efficiency (extraction time and temperature, sample pH, and ionic strength) and desorption efficiency (solvent, temperature, and time) were optimized. The method proved to be sensitive--a 50-mL sample was used to determine these compounds in environmental waters at trace levels. The detection limits of the analytical method were 2.5 ng L(-1) for river water and 5-10 ng L(-1) for effluent and influent sewage water. In river waters, benzophenone-3 was found at levels from 6 ng L(-1) to 28 ng L(-1) and triclosan at levels <LOQ. Benzophenone-3 was found between 75 and 127 ng L(-1) in influent sewage, whereas concentrations of benzophenone-3 and triclosan were commonly below 25 ng L(-1) in effluent sewage.
Article: Ultra-High-Performance Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry for Determining the Presence of Eleven Personal Care Products in Surface and Wastewaters[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Personal care products (PCPs) are widely used emerging contaminants which can cause adverse environmental effects. This paper reports the development and validation of a method based on solid-phase extraction (SPE) and ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionisation-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-(ESI)MS-MS) for simultaneously determining eleven PCPs: 4 preservatives (methylparaben; ethylparaben; benzylparaben; propylparaben); 2 antimicrobial agents (triclocarban and triclosan) and 5 UV filters (2,4-dihydroxybenzophenone; 2,2-dihydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone; benzophenone-3; octocrylene and octyldimethyl-p-aminobenzoic acid) in environmental waters in only 9 run minutes of chromatographic separation. The SPE was carried out with two polymeric cartridges (Oasis HLB and Bond Elut Plexa). The recoveries obtained with Bond Elut Plexa were between 69% and 101% for 500 mL of river waters, with the exception of octyldimethyl-p-aminobenzoic acid (46%). Limits of detection for 500 mL of river water were in the range of 1-5 ng/L. Oasis HLB was chosen for wastewater samples with recoveries between 38% and 92% (250 mL of effluents) and 36-89% (100mL of influents). In both wastewater samples, octyldimethyl-p-aminobenzoic acid and methylparaben showed the lowest recoveries (20% and 27%). The method revealed benzophenone-3 as having the highest concentration levels ( 7 ng/L) in river waters. Most of PCPs determined were found in influent waters being methylparaben and propylparaben the ones found at highest concentration with values of 5613 and 1945 ng/L, respectively. In effluent waters, significant lower levels of some PCPs were found, being benzophenone-3 the one found at the highest concentration (100 ng/L).
Article: Estrogens and their conjugates: Determination in water samples by solid-phase extraction and liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: A sensitive method for simultaneously determining eleven free and conjugated steroid estrogens has been developed using liquid chromatography-(electrospray)triple quadrupole-mass spectrometry (LC-(ESI)MS-MS) in negative mode with application to environmental aqueous matrices. Two selected reaction monitoring (SRM) transitions per compound were used, one of which was used for quantification and the second one for confirmation. The procedure includes a solid-phase extraction with an Oasis HLB solid-phase cartridge. Recoveries in 500 mL of river water spiked at 50 ng/L for sulfate estrogens and 100 ng/L for the rest of the compounds were 46-87%, except for E2, which had lower values (32%). Recoveries in wastewater were higher than 49% and 30% for all the compounds, except E2-17A and E2-17G (lower than 26% and 28%, respectively), in effluent (250 mL) and influent (100 mL), respectively. Ion suppression is a well-known phenomenon when using ESI; thus its impact on method recovery made us consider this effect when quantifying our samples. Limits of detection varied from 2 to 30 ng/L in river water and 10 to 100 ng/L in sewage water. The method was used to determine the target compounds in the Ebro river water where none of the analytes were found. In effluent and influent water samples, EE2, E1-3S and E2-3S were determined at concentration levels ranging from 35 to 160 ng/L.
Article: Simultaneous determination of macrolides, sulfonamides, and other pharmaceuticals in water samples by solid-phase extraction and LC-(ESI) MS[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: This paper describes a method for determining 11 pharmaceuticals in various water sources by SPE followed by LC-(ESI) MS. SPE was carried out with Oasis HLB and the recoveries were 33-67% for 250 and 100 mL sewage water, 55-77% for 500 mL river water and 72-98% for 1 L tap water, with the exception of sulfamethoxazole and omeprazole which showed lower recoveries in all kinds of sample. The LODs in river water were of 5 ng/L for sulfadiazine, trimethoprim, sulfamethazine, sulfamethoxazole, and ranitidine and 10 ng/L for the other compounds. The highest concentrations found in river waters were for sulfamethoxazole (50 ng/L). In influent sewage waters, ranitidine was the most commonly detected compound with a maximum value of 0.24 microg/L.
Article: Pharmaceutical Determination in Surface and Wastewaters Using High-performance Liquid Chromatography-(Electrospray)-Mass Spectrometry[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: A method was developed to determine 11 pharmaceutical compounds in water samples. The method uses SPE and HPLC coupled to MS (LC/MS) using ESI in both positive and negative modes. Three different sorbents were compared for the extraction of analytes from river and sewage treatment plant (STP) waters and OASIS HLB provided the best results. For the solid-phase extraction of 500 mL of river water samples, the recoveries were between 41 and 101% with the exception of acetaminophen, salicylic acid and naproxen. The LODs were between 3 and 5 ng/L for all the compounds, except naproxen which had an LOD of 15 ng/L. Acetaminophen, caffeine, carbamazepine, bezafibrate and ibuprofen were found in three of the tested river samples at ng/L levels and among them, the highest values were for caffeine and bezafibrate with 305 and 363 ng/L, respectively. For the influent and effluent water samples of the STP, volumes of 100 and 250 mL were used, respectively, to obtain acceptable recoveries. All the compounds showed recoveries between 33 and 91% for effluent samples and 33-72% for influent samples, with the exception of acetaminophen, salicylic acid and bezafibrate, which had lower recoveries. The method developed enabled pharmaceuticals in the influent and effluent sewage waters to be determined in five campaigns carried out between February 2004 and June 2005. Several pharmaceuticals were found in the influent samples: for instance, maximum concentrations of ibuprofen and caffeine were 6 and 40 microg/L, respectively.

We ordered our food, paid for it, then returned to the table to find the books gone. As the Manager (Josh) was passing by us, I asked him if he had seen the 2 books. He said he threw them away thinking they were a previous customers that had left. He then proceeded to go to the trash can to dig them out of the trash can.
I interrupted him, explaining I do not want the books after they've been tossed in the trash (for OBVIOUS sanitary reasons). At that point he considered the situation "over". I asked to speak to a Manager and was informed that Josh IS the manager. When he came out I said, "Listen, those were my daughters books you threw out."
His reply was, "How was I supposed to know?" I said, "You did see they were children's books, didn't you? And, you did see that there were children here, didn't you? You didn't even ask."
He asked, "What do you want me to do?" I said, "I paid $4.00 for the books. Give me $4.00 and we'll call it even." His response was, "I'm not givin' you nothin'!!"
After telling him I found it hard to believe he was a manager, I asked for his corporate number. I decided I would call the Subway Headquarters immediately and went to get my two children (who had been waiting at the table).
When I got to the table, my daughter was crying. I took her by the hand, walked her up to the counter where Josh was, and said, "I'm not waiting to call your corporate office for you to apologize to my daughter. They were HER books you threw out and you owe her an apology."
He very defiantly told me, " I'm not apologizing to nobody!!" At that point, I took my kids to a payphone to call in my complaint. I was told Neil and Dianne Campbell own that Subway and they give their owners 3 days to respond to a complaint.
Today is June 28, and I have not heard a WORD from the owners or anyone from Subway. I have not only phoned in my complaint. I have emailed in my complaint to their website, I have had an attorney send a letter notifying them of my complaint and the desired outcome, I have even filed my complaint with the Better Business Bureau. Now I am submitting my story to Rip-off Report.

A Husband's Resonse To Subway And Library Comment.
AUTHOR: Delando - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, June 29, 2006POSTED: Thursday, June 29, 2006
It was very unprofessional of the manager to have a nonchalant attitude towards the feelings of a 6yr old who's books were thrown out.
The monetary request made for the books was not an expensive request due to the manager's lack of customer friendly service.
When you take responsibility for an action such as this, your customers will respect you and your establishment will be return customers.
Although it's not a library, but people do go places like Starbucks to read ,so in response to the comment about it not being a libray,then Starbucks should not welcome books, newspapers, laptops,and etc.in there establishment as well.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Manager and owners get big fat "F" in customer service department
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, June 28, 2006POSTED: Wednesday, June 28, 2006
Otherwise, why would he have suggested giving her the books out of the trash can??
As for the owners, they never even bothered to acknowledge the complaint.
This whole idea of "he had to throw the books out for sanitary reasons" is bogus. Otherwise, everytime a customer goes into a restaurant and leaves their jacket, or purse, or keys on the table, the employees would need to throw the items out and take no liability because,
after all, they're just being sanitary. Josh threw the books out because he thought they were abandoned, plain and simple. He was mistaken, he should have compensated. Period.
Seems like Josh threw out his professionalism right along with the books, but was only willing to pull the books out of the trash and leave the professionalism in the garbage.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

If some gym bro said he works out for half an hour but it takes him almost three hours to do it, you'd probably laugh him off. And you'd be perfectly justified in doing so.
Why, then, is it any different for an NHL player?
Throughout the playoffs, a ton of talk surrounded Duncan Keith and the minutes he logged: 31:06 per game. Fans know that's a dump-truck load of hockey, but most would be hard-pressed to prove why. After all, numbers-wise, it's no more than what our gym bro does.
Consider this: Most NHLers average 10 to 20 minutes per game. Only the best play more than 20, while some play fewer than 10. The average shift lasts merely 45 seconds, and players clear the boards 20 to 30 times. All of this occurs over as much as three hours to play an NHL game. Endurance athletes like runners, cyclists and swimmers can go for much longer and do it without pause.
Everyone in the hockey world knows this is one of the most demanding sports to play. Yet few understand what players endure physiologically that makes what they do so difficult.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Hi Everyone!
I was wondering if someone knows of a good wordpress plugin (free or premium) that will allow site visitors to do multi-level filtering / sorting?
i.e. User chooses Top-Level Category "Comics" , then chooses Sub-Level Tag "Marvel", then chooses metavalue for price "<$100" which will populate results with posts that are "Comics by Marvel for under $100".
Any help would be much appreciated!

Three of Dolly's early-1970s albums, also including My Tennessee Mountain Home and Jolene, have just been remastered and re-released.
All are can't-miss classics, but it's 1971's Coat of Many Colors that announced Dolly as a major talent.
The title cut remains a perfect country song, but there's more to savor here. The bonus tracks include a bare-bones demo of the hit "My Blue Tears" that demonstrates that young Dolly knew full well how to knock you flat with only her voice, guitar and pen.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
Both emails were solicitations for a $US 1.99 CD that would tell me how to become an Ebay powerseller. I thought it looked fairly professional so I gave my credit card info to sign-up for a measily $1.99. "How could a guy go wrong for $1.99" At least this is what i thought.
To make a long story short, I didn't ever recieve a Ebay CD in the mail or any other correspondsance by mail fromn this Company. Instead I recieved a debt on my credit card for US$1.99 to start, the first month. Then I recieved 2 subsequent debits on my credit card for US$49.95 (second month) and another debit from I Pro Auction for US$49.95.
I called the company in Cda from 1 (801) 785 5069. Then I found out that Epro Auction was being run online by a Company called Electronic Marketing Services Inc. Anmyway, I told the people there that I didn't recieve my CD from them in over 8 weeks. They told me it should be coming shortly. However, it never came in over 6 months to date. Anyway, I asked them about the unathorized debits on my credit as well. They apologized and said they would credit my account for the charges. In the end they never credited me anything to date (9 months later).
The motto to this story is first of all not to answer to any emails with the subject headings as mentioned above. Secondly, make sure you have use a credit card company that will re-imburse your account should any unauthorized purchases or debits occur on your account. I was forthunate as my credit card company covered the unathroized debits on my account. I sincerely hope you have the same coverage on your credit account. If you don't get it ASAP without delay. And keep in mind this company will change its name on your credit to
I Pro Auction to ward off detection.
Above all else, I'm confident that you've read this note for a deeper more meaningful purpose this day. It is vital if not paramount that you know where your going for an eternity. Your life here on earth is but a speck of dusk on a whole beach of what lies ahead for you. Are you headed for heaven or hell? Romans 10:10 in the bible will tell you how to can freely receive eternal salvation without regret or religiousity. And finally you will have the peace of mind you've been looking for for years. Today is your day!!! Jesus truly is the answer to any and all problems you may have. The bible states that "Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life." I'm the only Christian in my entire family and I am so blessed I could puke. You deserve to be as happy and if not happier than I am. All you can do is give it a shot. And in the end you will be more than glad you did.
Take Care!

EDitor's Suggestions on how to get your money back!
Go to your bank within 60 days of the charge, or as soon as you know about the charge, don't delay, and tell them that there has been fraudulent activity within your account. Explain that you wish to file a dispute, and demand that they assist you in accordance with Federal Regulation E.
According to the majority of victims interviewed by Rip-off Report, those who immediately called their banks to dispute the charges did not get very far. Many victims got the following responses from their banks: we could not do anything for you or you waited too long; it has been more than 60 days.
If the bank is says that you have waited too long, explain to them how you called their 800 number as soon as the charges were found, and were told by the bank that nothing could be done. Remind the bank that they failed to assist you properly at the 800 #, and instead, provided you with an inadequate explanation of your right to dispute. Tell the bank that it's their fault time has expired, and since they gave you the wrong info to begin with, they will just have to deal with it, take the loss and reverse the charges.
Tell them the truth; this was unauthorized and your account was NOT to be charged! Keep emphasizing how you never authorized anything! Direct them to the hundreds of victims reports that were filed on Rip-off Report.com. And if you're at the bank, walk them over to their computer and make them go to this site! If you are on the phone with them, tell them you will wait while they access this site! Either way, be persistent!
Let them know nicely, that you were advised to Report them (the Bank) and this situation to the Banking Commission in your state. Since each state has a different name for the agency/controller over banks, find that name before you call or get to the bank so you can throw it in their face. The more knowledgeable you appear to be, the further you will get.
And just continue to demand the Federal Regulation E form! The bank CAN, MUST and WILL reverse the charge! But, you must be persistent; ask to speak to the supervisor or the area manager for all the branches in the state.
Let the bank personnel know you are meeting with the media later in the day, that you would much rather they do the right thing (as most other banks have) by looking at the complaints and immediately reversing the charge(s) to your account; no matter how long ago it was. Be sure to call the Media if necessary so you are telling the truth.
If you have to, be loud (but nice) in front of other customers. If you are just calling by phone, the above tactics should still work. The bank can easily fax or mail to you the Federal Regulation E dispute form.
If the charge was to your credit card (not debit card, check card, or checking account), contact the credit card company as soon as possible to request a dispute form. Consumers usually have a little longer to dispute fraudulent credit card charges (up to 6 months), but it is better to act right away. In this type of situation, credit card disputes are usually successful since fraudulent companies often won't contest the disputed charge. In rare cases, credit card companies will review disputes, but refuse to reverse the charges. If this occurs, complain to a manager and let them know you will be filing a report here.

Top Definition
"Maltese Collage Of Art Science and Technology"--or MCAST, refers to one of the top educational institutions in Malta. It is much better than the Maltese university. MCAST focuses heavily on practice while university students attending the university of MALTA (especially attending any engineering course) are a 'Lot-of-theory-dont-know-to-apply-shit' type of students.
The university is Hafna liba ttir. MCAST is da best eva.

I'm using comment_author_link() in my comments.php file, and designing the comments boxes to appear nice and neat. But, I have noticed it displays trackbacks too in the comments. When it comes to comment_author_link() it displays a huge name like, "John's Blog >> Article Linked To You", is there a way to find out if a comment is actually a trackback, and to ignore it?
If not, is there a way to truncate comment_author_link() to a set number of characters (if it's a trackback), or an easier way?

The strangest thing is, that they "sued" me in March of 2007, yet I moved to a different city 2 hours away in Dec of 2006! The only "credit" i had ever had was a cell phone from cingular that was at that time in GOOD STANDING and I was USING it! I had never had credit or a credit card or anything along those lines.
This charge is phony and Im not sure what to do about it! I'm afraid that its appearance on my credit report may be preventing me from getting jobs and weighing down my credit score badly.

Re: R dealership
s required to ask **bleep**
There were a lot of posts about this a while back. I can't say I remember the details exactly, but if I recall, the Patrior Act does require some sort of identity verification. And a dealer can choose to do that by pulling a credit report. They don't have to, but if that is their policy for how they go about it, I'm not sure what you can do. So that is why you might be getting some conflicting answers. Some people may have gone to dealers that do the identity verification another way.

Growing Up with AD/HD: The Emotional Ramifications for Teens
Judith M. Glasser, Ph.D.
Shame and blame can be significant consequences of growing up with AD/HD. A lifetime of hearing things like these have an effect on teens: sit down, be quiet, why can't you focus on your work, you aren't working up to your potential. Meanwhile loving parents and teachers who don't understand often blame their teenager and/or each other. Some of the emotional consequences of growing up with AD/HD will be addressed in this presentation. Specific ideas to help parents lessen the emotional impact of raising teenagers with AD/HD will be presented.
Dr. Glasser is a clinical psychologist with more than 30 years of experience working with families in the Washington DC metro area, specializing in therapy and assessment with children and teenagers. Over the years she has learned that many of the children she sees with emotional difficulties have associated and undiagnosed AD/HD. Dr. Glasser co-authored a chapter in a book edited by Sam Goldstein, Jack Naglieri and Melissa DeVries that was published in 2011: Learning and Attention Disorders in Adolescence and Adulthood: Assessment and Treatment (second edition). She also wrote a book for children with co-author Kathleen Nadeau, Ph.D., titled Learning to Feel Good and Stay Cool: Emotional Regulation Tools for Kids with ADHD that was published by Magination Press in September 2013. Her most recent book coming out in October 2015: Learning to Be Kind and Understand Differences: Helping Kids with AD/HD Develop Empathy, will be available for purchase and signing at the end of this event.

Executive Functioning Boot Camp for Parents: Helping teens develop time management, organizational, and study skills for success
Carey A. Heller, Psy.D., The Heller Psychology Group LLC
Executive functioning refers to the mental skills involved in cognitive processes that relate to completing tasks successfully. Thus, attention, planning, organizing, use of working memory skills, and other related items are necessary for successful completion of tasks. Poor executive functioning abilities severely impede time management, organizational, and study skills. Deficits in executive functioning are extremely common in individuals with ADHD and learning disabilities. Many parents do not know how to effectively support their teens with executive functioning deficits and often use tools that may help in the moment (i.e., frequent reminders), but do not employ strategies that promote independence and improvement in executive functioning skills. This presentation will provide parents with an overview of executive functioning and tools to help determine what areas of executive functioning their teens struggle with. Many practical strategies that they can use to help their teens improve any deficits in this domain as well as how to implement these tools will be discussed. Furthermore, an emphasis on building on teens' strengths to help bolster areas of limitation will be examined.
Carey A. Heller, Psy.D. is a clinical psychologist and partner at The Heller Psychology Group LLC in Bethesda, Maryland. He provides psychotherapy and assessment services for children, adolescents, and young adults. Dr. Heller specializes in the evaluation of ADHD, learning disabilities, and comorbid mood/behavioral disorders. His psychotherapy specializations include: ADHD/executive functioning and Autism Spectrum Disorder. Dr. Heller also blends his assessment knowledge and expertise in treatment to provide an executive functioning boot camp, which is a two hour one-on-one session where he assists individuals in developing effective time management, organizational, and study skills. Follow up sessions to ensure follow through are also used. Furthermore, Dr. Heller published a book last fall related to his executive functioning boot camp: A Do-It-Yourselfer's Guide to Time Management and Organizational Skills for Students of All Ages: A brief guide for children and teens with easy to implement strategies for success. Finally, he completed his doctorate in clinical psychology at The George Washington University.

Lori Vise, Joan Wittan, The College Collaborative

Technology, Teens and Family Boundaries: When is Technology Too Much Technology?
Panel: Edward Spector, Psy.D.,LLC, Clifford Sussman, MD, Marti Weston
In today's world, our teenagers are immersed in temptations in the technological world. From the preoccupying and sometimes compulsive use of cell phones, computer and video games and the Internet, teens use their free time in starkly different ways than their parents did when they were their age. And parents use technology in today's world too. How do we know when technology is too much? How do we regain a proper balance of time management in the family, and hopefully improve family dynamics with more face time, desired by the parents, balanced with the free choice of a teen's down time, desired by the teen? How can we make changes now, at home, so they will succeed in high school, college and beyond with technology still demanding so much of their time?
Dr. Spector is a licensed psychologist with expertise in helping children, adolescents, and adults in individual and group therapy. He completed his postdoctoral training at Kingsbury Day School. Dr. Spector has extensive experience in a large group private practice helping clients with ADHD, Learning Disabilities, Autism and Asperger's Disorder, Anxiety and Depression, Social skills deficits, low self-esteem, Executive Functioning deficits, and poor motivation. In particular, Dr. Spector has a comprehensive knowledge of video games, computer games, and the Internet. He has helped many clients change how they use technology, so that they can lead more productive, balanced lives.
Clifford Sussman, MD has a private practice in psychiatry for children, adolescents, and young adults in Washington, DC. He completed an adult psychiatry residency at Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic in Pittsburgh, PA, and a child and adolescent psychiatry fellowship at Children's National Medical Center in Washington, DC. He places a clinical emphasis on psychotherapy, often in combination with medication. Dr. Sussman has over 7 years of experience treating digital addictions, aided by a background in educational software and game development as well as motivational interviewing, a form of psychotherapy designed to treat addiction. He also works with many clients with co-morbid conditions, such as ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Marti Weston is a retired educator and technology chair with more than 25 years working with students, teachers and parents on instructional technology and digital world topics. Ms. Weston has blogged, written articles and put on many technology workshops for parents of teenagers, including topics of family boundaries surrounding technology. You can read her blog at MediaTechParenting.net. Ms. Weston earned a master's degree from The University of Chicago and retired from Georgetown Day School after 33 years, where she was head of the Technology Department for the Lower and Middle Schools.

Parenting the Anxious Teen: Counter-Intuitive Strategies for Easing Teen Anxiety
Jonathan Dalton Ph.D., The Center for Anxiety and Behavioral Change
For parents of high schoolers with anxiety, the need for practical, yet sometimes counter-intuitive evidence-based skills and techniques is essential to help their teens experience less anxiety and develop greater tolerance for emotional distress. Specific topics include why anxiety and avoidance are teammates, how to teach specific coping skills to your children, which types of positive reinforcement should be used to decrease anxiety, and when active ignoring of anxious behavior is the best method to decrease the child's experience of anxiety.
Dr. Dalton Ph.D., founded the Center for Anxiety and Behavioral Change (CABC) in Rockville, MD. Dr. Dalton served as director of the school refusal, social phobia, and group treatment programs at the Behavior Therapy Center of Greater Washington. He received his doctorate in clinical psychology from Fordham University with a specialization in child and family psychology. He completed two years of pre-doctoral training at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine – Kennedy Krieger Institute, and advanced postdoctoral training at the Maryland Center for Anxiety Disorders at the University of Maryland. He specializes in the treatment of pediatric anxiety disorders, including anxiety-based school refusal. He is also a published author and frequently lectures on the treatment of anxiety disorders and school refusal.

Cancer Health Center
Last Days of Life (PDQ®): Supportive care - Health Professional Information [NCI] - Symptom Management
Symptoms commonly experienced at the end of life include pain, delirium, dyspnea, and rattle. In a study of 200 patients with cancer, noisy breathing or rattle, pain, and urinary dysfunction were the symptoms experienced most frequently during the last 48 hours of life.[1] In a large study of cancer patients evaluated with the Edmonton Symptom Assessment System, average scores for pain, nausea, anxiety, and depression remained relatively stable over the 6 months before death. However, shortness of breath, drowsiness, well-being, lack of appetite, and tiredness increased in severity over time, particularly in the month before death.[2] Other studies confirm that pain, fatigue, cough, delirium, dyspnea, and other symptoms are common in the final days.[3,4,5];[6][Level of evidence: III];[7,8][Level of evidence: II] Less common but equally troubling symptoms that may occur in the final hours include fever and hemorrhage.
Pain During the Final Hours of Life
Many patients fear uncontrolled pain during the final hours of life, while others (including family members and some health care professionals) express concern that opioid use may hasten death. Experience suggests that most patients can obtain pain relief during the final hours of life and that very high doses of opioids are rarely indicated.[9] Several studies refute the fear of hastened death associated with opioid use. In several surveys of high-dose opioid use in hospice and palliative care settings, no relationship between opioid dose and survival was found.[9,10,11,12]
Because consciousness may diminish during this time and swallowing becomes difficult, practitioners should anticipate alternatives to the oral route. In a study of cancer patients at 4 weeks, 1 week, and 24 hours before death, the oral route of opioid administration was continued in 62%, 43%, and 20% of patients, respectively. As patients approached death, the use of intermittent subcutaneous injections and intravenous or subcutaneous infusions increased.[13] Both intravenous and subcutaneous routes are effective in delivering opioids and other agents in the inpatient or home setting. For patients who do not have a pre-existing access port or catheter, intermittent or continuous subcutaneous administration provides a painless and effective route of delivery.[14] (Refer to the PDQ summary on Pain for a more complete review of parenteral administration of opioids and opioid rotation.)

NSF invests in Berkeley's Interdisciplinary Approach to Green Chemistry and Ethics Education
How do you compare the impact of 1 ton of CO2 emitted into the atmosphere to 1 milligram of an endocrine disrupter in our water supply, or compare $1,000 spent on complying with regulations designed to protect the environment with $1,000 spent on building more industrial capacity?
A new article by Professor Alastair Iles, BCGC Associate Director of Policy & Law, is published in Public Understanding of Science. The article is called "Greening chemistry: emerging epistemic political tensions in California and the United States," and is available through SAGE Journals Online.

Whereas other schools focus on teaching the principles of green chemistry exclusively to chemists, Berkeley's idea is that the best way to make chemistry sustainable is to bring together the chemists who will invent new molecules with the biologists who will unravel their toxicological effects, the future business leaders who will sell the products made from those molecules, and the policy makers who will
Before 4,200 attendees, Dr. Wilson described the science of green chemistry in the context of worker health and safety and U.S. movements for social change, calling on the AIHA to become involved in the movement to re-write the Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976 and help assure that it contains language to protect workers.
