The Huawei Consumer Business Privacy Statement was updated on
March 27, 2020.
Huawei Device Co., Ltd. and its global affiliates (collectively, "Huawei", "we", "us", and "our") respect your privacy. Therefore, we have developed a Privacy Statement (hereinafter referred to as "this Statement") that covers how we collect, use, disclose, protect, store and transfer your personal data. Please take a moment to read and understand our privacy statement and let us know if you have any questions.
Personal data means any electronic or other information which alone or jointly with other information can be used to identify a natural person or make him/her identifiable. This Statement explains how Huawei processes your personal data, but does not cover all processing scenarios as you will be informed in specific processing activity. Therefore, before using a specific product or service, it is recommended that you read the privacy notice or supplementary statement released by Huawei for that product or service to understand how it processes your personal data, how you can exercise your data subject rights, and how to contact the data controller.
This Statement applies only to Huawei personal and home products, including feature phones, smartphones, laptops, tablets, wearable devices, mobile broadband devices, smart household appliances, accessories, computer applications, mobile services, software, toolkits, websites, and services that display or mention this Statement.
A. Personal Data Collected by Huawei
Before using Huawei products or services, you may need to provide personal data. You do not have to provide your personal data to Huawei, but in some cases, the non-provision of certain personal data will cause the inability to provide you with some related products or services.
Huawei will collect and use your personal data for the purposes stated in this Statement. Here are some examples of personal data we may collect:
1. Personal data that you provide to Huawei
You need to register a Huawei ID to enjoy certain functions or services. When you register a Huawei ID or log in with a Huawei ID to shop online, download software, or purchase services, we will ask you to provide relevant personal data, such as your name, email address, mobile number, order information, shipping address, and payment mode.
Huawei may provide you with cloud storage services where you can sync and backup some of your files, pictures and data.
Some Huawei products allow you to communicate and share information with others. When you use a Huawei product to share things with your family and friends, you may need to create a Huawei ID that includes certain information which will be made public, including a nickname and avatar. Huawei may collect information related to those people, such as their names, email addresses, and phone numbers. Huawei will take appropriate and necessary measures to ensure the security of the information that you provide. You must ensure that the people, whose information you provide, have consented to you providing their information to Huawei.
To meet some jurisdictions' requirements on real-name authentication of accounts, prevention of electronic game addiction, or Internet payment, Huawei might ask you to provide a proof of identity issued by the government or relevant card information that can identify you.
2. Information that Huawei collects in your use of services
Huawei will collect data about your device and how you and your device exchange information with Huawei products and services. This type of information includes:
(1) Device and application information, such as the device name, device identification code (IMEI, ESN, MEID, and SN), device activation time, hardware model, OS version, application version, software identification code, and device and application settings (such as region, language, time zone, and font size).
(2) Mobile network information, such as the public land mobile network (PLMN) provider ID and Internet Protocol (IP) address.
(3) Log information. When you use Huawei services or view Huawei-provided content, Huawei will automatically collect and log some information, such as the time of access, access count, IP address, and information about incidents (such as errors, crashes, restarts, and upgrades).
(4) Location information. Huawei will collect, use, and process the approximate or precise location of your device when you access some location-based services (for example, when you search, use navigation software, or view the weather of a specific location). Location information can be obtained based on the GPS, WLAN, and service provider network ID. We will ask you to choose the applications for which you want to enable location services. In the device settings menu, you can disable the location permissions of specific services to reject sharing your location information.
(5) Information you store on Huawei servers. For example, the information you upload to the cloud will be stored on Huawei servers for rapid access and sharing between devices. We will not view the information you store on Huawei servers.
3. Information from third-party sources
When permitted by law, Huawei will collect information about you from public and commercial sources. Huawei may also obtain certain information from third-party social network services, such as the time when you use a social network account to log in to a Huawei website.
4. Collection and use of non-identifiable data
Non-identifiable data refers to data that cannot be used to identify an individual. Examples of non-identifiable data include statistics on website visits, application downloads, and product sales volume. Huawei will collect statistics information to understand how users use our products and services. By doing so, we can improve our services to better meet your requirements.
We keep your personal data and non-identifiable data separate, and use each independently. Circumstances may arise where Huawei collects, uses, discloses, and transfers non-identifiable data for other purposes at our own discretion.
B. How Huawei Uses Your Personal Data
Huawei may use your personal data for the following purposes:
(1) Register and activate Huawei personal and home products that you have purchased.
(2) Register a Huawei ID so that you can enjoy a wider range of functions and mobile services.

We do not share personal data with other companies, organisations and individuals unless one of the following circumstances applies:
(1) Sharing with consent: After obtaining your consent, Huawei will share the information that you have authorised with specified third parties or categories of third parties.
(2) Sharing pursuant to laws and regulations: Huawei may share your information as required by laws and regulations, for resolving legal disputes, or as required by administrative or judiciary authorities pursuant to law.
(3) Sharing with Huawei affiliates: Your information may be shared within Huawei's affiliates only for explicit, and legitimate purposes, and the sharing is limited only to information required by services. For example, we verify the global uniqueness of accounts before allowing them to be registered.
(4) Sharing with business partners: Some products and/or services are provided to you directly by our partners. Huawei also may share your information with them, they may use your information to provide you with products and/or services you request (e.g., products sold by third-party seller through Huawei's e-commerce platform, video content provided by other companies through Huawei's applications), make predictions about your interests and may provide you with advertisements, promotional materials and other materials
(5) Sharing with service providers: Huawei also may disclose your information to companies that provide services for or on behalf of us. Examples of these service providers include companies that provide hotline services, send email, or provide technical support on behalf of Huawei. The service providers can use your information only for the purpose of providing services to you on behalf of Huawei.
(6) Huawei will share your information when there is a reasonable requirement to do so, for example, to meet request of applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable government.
In scenarios 3 to 6, Huawei will ensure that the lawfulness of this sharing and sign stringent non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) and/or data processing clauses with the companies, organisations, and individuals with whom personal data is shared, requiring them to comply with this Statement and take appropriate confidentiality and security measures when processing personal data.
Huawei attaches great importance to the security of your personal data and has adopted standard industry practices to protect your personal data and prevent it from unauthorised access, disclosure, use, modification, damage, or loss. To this end, Huawei takes the following measures:
(1) We take reasonable and feasible measures to ensure that the personal data collected is minimal and relevant to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are processed. We retain your personal data for no longer than is necessary for the purposes stated in this Statement and privacy notice of specific product or service, unless extending the retention period is required or permitted by law.
(2) We use a range of technologies such as cryptographic technologies to ensure the confidentiality of data in transmission. We implement trusted protection mechanisms to protect data and data storage servers from attacks.
(3) We deploy access control mechanisms to ensure that only authorised personnel can access your personal data. In addition, we control the number of authorised personnel and implement hierarchical permission management on them based on service requirements and personnel levels.
(4) We strictly select business partners and service providers and incorporate personal data protection requirements into commercial contracts, audits, and appraisal activities.
(5) We hold security and privacy protection training courses, tests, and publicity activities to raise employees' personal data protection awareness.
Huawei is committed to protecting your personal data. Nevertheless, no security measure is perfect and no product, service, website, data transfer, computing system, or network connection is absolutely secure.
To cope with possible risks, such as personal data leakage, damage, and loss, Huawei has developed several mechanisms and control measures, clearly defined the rating standards of security incidents and vulnerabilities and corresponding processing procedures, and established a dedicated Security Advisory and Security Notice page. Huawei has established a dedicated emergency response team to implement security planning, loss reduction, analysis, locating, and remediation, and to perform tracking operations with related departments based on security incident handling regulations and requirements.
If any personal data incident occurs, Huawei will notify you, pursuant to relevant legal and regulatory requirements, of the basic information about the security incident and its possible impact, measures that Huawei has taken or will take, suggestions about active defense and risk mitigation, and remedial measures. The notification may take the form of an email, text message, push notification, etc. If it is difficult to notify data subjects one by one, we will take appropriate and effective measures to release a Security Notice. In addition, we will also report the handling status of personal data security incidents as required by supervisory authorities.
A. Access, rectification, deletion, data portability, restriction of processing, objection to processing.
Legislation in some countries and regions to which Huawei provides products and services or from where Huawei processes personal data, provides that data subjects the rights request (hereinafter referred to as "requests") in regards to the accessing, rectifying, deleting or erasure, porting, restricting, and objecting, the processing of related personal data by Huawei retains. In addition you will have the right to data portability.
1. Requesting modes and channels
Data subjects' requests must be submitted in accordance with Huawei designated privacy channels. The requests are valid even when the requester does not specify the laws on which the requests are based.
Data subjects' requests may be initiated through the official website of Huawei Consumer BG, HiCare app or Huawei ID app. If a data subject initiates a request via a hotline, email, online customer service, service centre, or another channel, we will instruct the data subject to officially raise the request through one of the aforementioned channels to facilitate communication and feedback of progress and results. The dedicated request channels for data subjects are intended to protect data subjects' lawful interests, ensure Huawei's normal operation, and prevent the right to request from being misused or fraudulently used.
2. Validity of requests

Huawei has implemented global privacy practices for processing personal data protected under various data protection laws. Huawei transfers personal data between the countries in which we operate in accordance with the standards and conditions of applicable data protection laws, including standards and conditions related to security and processing.
With respect to personal data coming from the EU or Switzerland, we comply with applicable legal requirements providing adequate safeguards for the transfer of personal data to countries outside of the European Economic Area ("EEA") or Switzerland. We use a variety of legal mechanisms, such as standard contractual clauses to implement the cross-border transfer of your personal data; or implement security measures like anonymisation on the data before the cross border data transfer.

Aah, the Oscars.
Being an actor, I love "Awards Season." It's my Super Bowl. (Although, to be clear: I do love me some football too 🙂 )
But I definitely make an evening of it. This year I'll be watching at a friend's party, but no matter where I am, I always watch with a tall glass of wine, and equally tall expectations for everything elegant.
However, there is one thing about the Oscars that just…urks me.
"Who are you wearing?"
Now, don't get me wrong: I absolutely love the fashion. In fact, getting dressed up is one of my all time favorite things to do. Which, tbh I can't believe I'm saying that, given the loooong history of self worth issues lingering from my anorexia. An issue that, for years, manifested itself in never buying myself any new clothes.
But I digress.
I love the fashion. I love the beautiful gowns and handsome tuxes. How you dress is a fun and creative way to express yourself and your individuality. And on a more personal level, I've recently come to appreciate how getting dressed up is also an expression and celebration of beauty.
It is not the be-all-end-all.
Watching the red carpet, it's frankly nauseating how — actress after actress — the lead off question is always, "Who are you wearing?" Nevermind the movie you're starring in, or how you feel about being nominated…who are you wearing?
It bluntly demonstrates that you are your label.
And you know what, maybe I'm reading too much into it. I mean, it's practically a commercial – a contractual obligation: the designer gives the actress a free dress in exchange for some lip service on the red carpet. I get that.
But, what really is that communicating?
This isn't some feminist rant. I'm not about to take to the streets and start burning bras. DOWN WITH THE ACADEMY!
I just want to offer an alternative way of thinking, so that every time we hear that question, we can be reminded of this:
Yes, the dress is beautiful. Elegant. Extravagant. Worthy of a Disney princess. And yes, the dress makes the actress look amazing.
But it's not the dress that's making the woman look beautiful. It is the woman in the dress.
We give so much attention and importance to the dress, but the truth is, it's the woman wearing it that's newsworthy. She is what gives the dress any value.
It has taken me years to realize and appreciate this. And quite honestly, I'm still on the journey to truly grasping and accepting that truth.
A truth that took me down to the pit of ED hell and back in order to learn.
My worth doesn't come from "who I'm wearing." It doesn't come from a thigh gap, or a number on the scale. It doesn't come from perfect grades, or the perfect degree, or the perfect boyfriend/car/job/house/vacation/handbag/friend group/Instagram following/[insert your "thing" here].
It comes from He who lives in my heart.
It comes from being made and being loved by God.
It comes from being bought at a price that I cannot and will not ever be able to repay.
It is so much more than a dress.
So much more than "who I'm wearing."
So tonight, when I'm at the party and that question gets asked over and over on the TV, I'm going to slyly smile to myself and think, "I'm wearing Jesus."
I'd like to applaud ABC for the steps they made this year to focus more on the woman as a person, rather than "who she's wearing." I wrote this piece before watching, and I was going off of the norm in previous years. So kudos to progress!

Report: Amazon to launch new tablet
Amazon is expected to announce at least one new version of its 7-inch Kindle Fire at a press conference near Los Angeles. A larger tablet may also be unveiled, along with an update of the company's popular Kindle e-reader.
Amazon.com Inc is expected to launch a new tablet on Thursday, the latest salvo in a battle for control of mobile access to the Internet.
Amazon is expected to announce at least one new version of its 7-inch Kindle Fire at a press conference near Los Angeles. A larger tablet may also be unveiled, along with an update of the company's popular Kindle e-reader.
'The swing factor in the expectation on the upcoming Kindle Fire could be on how much lower pricing can go,' said So Young Lee, an analyst at SunTrust Robinson Humphrey.
Amazon is willing to make little or no money selling tablets and e-readers because it wants to get the devices into as many hands as possible, then sell higher-margin digital content, such as e-books, video, games, apps and music, to a more connected and engaged customer base.
More broadly, Amazon is fighting with Apple Inc, Google Inc and other technology giants for a foothold in the booming tablet market because these devices are fast becoming the preferred tool to access the Internet. As the world's largest Internet retailer, it is essential for Amazon to have a major presence in this new sector.
'A successful tablet is much more important for Amazon than Google,' said Chad Bartley, an analyst at Pacific Crest Securities.
Amazon is one of the leading sellers of physical books, CDs, DVDs and video games. But these products are going digital, so the company is moving quickly to make sure it keeps its share of this evolving market.
'Amazon has to have devices that let customers purchase and consume digital content,' Bartley said.
Last year, Amazon surprised investors and rivals by pricing its first tablet at $199, well below Apple's iPad and less than most other tablets at the time. Despite lukewarm reviews, the device sold well, giving Amazon more than a fifth of the U.S. tablet market.
Since then, Google started selling its 7-inch Nexus 7 tablet for $199 with better specifications, while Barnes & Noble cut the price of one of its Nook tablets to $179. Microsoft Corp's up-coming Surface tablet may also be priced at $199.
'Introducing a tablet below the $150 mark could be compelling and another game changer in the industry where the $199 price point is no longer unique,' Lee said.
The cost to make the Kindle Fire has fallen since the tablet was launched last year, giving the company room to cut the price aggressively.
Google's Nexus 7 has a more powerful processor, more memory and a higher resolution screen than the current Kindle Fire. It also has a camera, which the Fire lacks.
'I expect the new Fire to look a lot like the Nexus 7 for the same $199 price,' said Colin Sebastian, an analyst at R.W. Baird. 'If it falls short, that could be a problem. If they go beyond that for the same price that would be good.'
Amazon may cut the price of the new Kindle Fire further by offering an ad-supported version, SunTrust's Lee said.
The company already does this with some of its e-readers. The cheapest Kindle costs $79 with ads, while the same version without ads is $109, according to Amazon's website.
'Ad-supported Kindle Fires mean cheaper devices and therefore a wider audience,' said Maria Alegre, CEO of Chartboost, which helps game developers make money through mobile devices including Amazon's tablet.
Game and app developers are keen on the Kindle platform because Amazon customers are used to paying for content and the company's one-click payment system makes purchasing easy.
What's missing is the massive audiences accumulated by Apple, through its iPhone and iPad, and Google, through its Android mobile operating system, Alegre said.
'Volume is the number one thing Kindle Fire needs right now,' she added.

National Sleep Survey Pulls Back The Covers On How We Doze And Dream
Two-Thirds Fail To Get Restful Sleep Most Nights
Dream On: Most Say Their Friends Have More Interesting (And Bizarre) Dreams
26 Dec, 2012, 06:00 ET
COSTA MESA, Calif., Dec. 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- If you're counting sheep at night, chances are you're doing it on your side, in your pajamas, and between 10:00-11:00 on a Sunday night, according to a new national sleep survey conducted by the home furnishings retailer Anna's Linens.
Timed to coincide with National Sleep Day, January 3, 2013, more than 3,700 people took part in the countrywide survey that examined a number of sleep-related topics, ranging from what night provides the most restful sleep to how our dreams stack up against our friends'.
Among the many findings from Anna's Linens' research department, the report reveals that most of us wear pajamas to bed (74% vs. 8% who sleep naked), we fail to recall our dreams in the morning, we sleep on our sides (74%), and we have a good chance of sharing a bed with someone who snores (47%).
When it comes to quality of sleep, nearly two-thirds (65%) said they get a "restful night's sleep" only three nights or less per week. Ten percent said they get a restful night sleep every night, while one-quarter said they sleep restfully five to six nights per week.
Not surprisingly, the night providing the least restful sleep is Sunday, followed by Monday. Friday night provides the most restful sleep, followed closely by Saturday, according to the survey.
Related to a restful night sleep is the fact that nearly half of the respondents who share a bed indicated they sleep with someone who snores (47%). Yet, out of those who do share a bed, nearly twice as many (63% v. 37%) said they probably wouldn't get a better night's sleep if they slept alone.
"Since bedding makes up such a big part of what we're known for, we thought a great way to help our customers get a better night's sleep is to better understand how they sleep at night," said Alan Gladstone, founder and CEO of Anna's Linens. "And apparently, one answer is: Not very well on Sunday night."
Anna's Linens is the nation's 14th largest home textiles retailer, specializing in bedding, window coverings, home decor, and bath and kitchen accessory items.
The survey also found few of us fail to remember our dreams from the night before. More than half the respondents said they're able to recall less than one-quarter of their dreams, while approximately 10 percent said they were able to recall nearly all their dreams from that night's sleep.
And though most have trouble recalling their dreams, nearly 70 percent said their dreams were not as interesting as their friends' dreams. But when it comes to the nature of the dreams, 44 percent felt their dreams were "more bizarre" than their friends'.
As far as how we sleep, an overwhelming number choose to sleep on their side (74%), while 16 percent sleep on their stomach and 10 percent on their back.
"We were surprised 8 percent of our respondents admitted to sleeping naked," continued Gladstone. "For that group, we suggest our 100 percent Egyptian cotton sheets. They feel great against the skin."
About Anna's Linens
Anna's Linens, headquartered in Costa Mesa, California, was founded in 1987 by its current chairman and CEO, Alan Gladstone. The company was named after his mother, Anna. Anna's Linens is a rapidly growing specialty retailer of high quality, value price home furnishings. Anna's offers a broad selection of bedding, window coverings, bath accessories, and other home decor items, including decorative pillows, housewares, kitchen textiles, and area rugs. Anna's Linens is a family-run business dedicated to the altruism of its associates, as well as giving back to the community. With more than 3,200 employees, Anna's currently operates more than 300 stores throughout Alabama, Arizona, California, D.C., Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin and Puerto Rico.

Facebook launched a real messaging service today, replacing its clunky messaging system with something that foments a direct, head-to-head battle with Google for dominance of the Internet.
The new Facebook system consists of three fundamental innovations: It unifies instant messages, SMS texts, and email into one in box; it turns all your interactions—ever—with any correspondent into one continuous thread which you can use to look back over your mutual history; and it uses its knowledge of your social interactions and friends on Facebook to sort your email for you so you are more likely to see the messages you care about first. This last feature can be modified to an individual user's preference, but will likely out-perform any similar system currently on the market, including the one in Gmail.
Email is, as we all know, a horribly broken system. It is what almost all of us lean on the most heavily to get our work done. Yet we all know it is inefficient and unwieldy. Now Facebook's innovations aim to use its so-called "social graph," the set of relationships you have with another user, to remake daily electronic communication.
More broadly, Facebook threatens Google because it represents a different way of functioning online. While Google is just a website you go to to get something done—albeit something critical and immensely useful—Facebook is a place where people increasingly live online. It is attempting to turn the entire Internet social. In addition, Facebook has become the world's largest website—by far—in terms of time spent.
But what should really worry Google is that Facebook is increasingly pulling more of the Internet toward itself. Websites of all kinds are increasingly incorporating Facebook's platform tools as they realize the power of tapping its viral distribution mechanism. Most everything a user does gets transmitted to their friends via Facebook's software. Today well over 1 million sites include the "like" button. A user who clicks "like" on your Web page is in many cases more valuable than one who clicks on a link in a list of Google results. The "liker" is broadcasting their affection to his or her friends in their social graph. About 600 million people worldwide have defined one inside Facebook.
The two companies have been competing over minutiae for a long time. As far back as early 2005, Mark Zuckerberg sat at a folding table in the lobby of a computer-science building at Stanford with a sign reading "Why Work at Google? Come to Thefacebook." It took a while for the message to sink in, but today about 300 former Google employees are working at Facebook, according to a search on employment network LinkedIn. The defectors include Facebook chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg, advertising boss David Fischer, head of communications and public policy Elliot Schrage, and numerous top engineers. Last week, Google gave its entire 23,000-person workforce a 10 percent raise, widely interpreted as a response to poaching by Facebook, among others. And TechCrunch reported this week that Google gave one employee a $3.5 million restricted stock bonus to convince him to turn down a Facebook offer. Another battle has been raging in recent weeks as Google has refused to allow Facebook users to import their Gmail address books, unless Facebook allows people also to extract their friends' addresses into Gmail, which Facebook refuses to do.
• David Kirkpatrick: Inside the Secret New Internet Browser• Thomas E. Weber: 10 Biggest Secrets of Facebook's Newsfeed
Now, with its richly-featured email system which gives every Facebook user an @ facebook.com address, the social network is beginning a direct assault on one of Google's crown jewels. Why does Gmail matter? First, because it is the biggest part of Google's product line that invites you, like Facebook, to come and stay awhile. Second, Google CEO Eric Schmidt and others there have acknowledged that what is called "social search" is one of their biggest strategic challenges. In order to address it, Google must create its own social graph. The third-largest email service (after Yahoo and Hotmail), Gmail has about two hundred million users. Handled properly, Google might be able to turn those users' address lists into a social graph. It already tried, clumsily, this year with Google Buzz, which immediately out of the gate was hit with massive privacy complaints. It hasn't recovered.
Google will almost certainly sometime soon make a more concerted effort to become a player in the social Web. It has bought a number of small social sites in areas like gaming. But its best hope to counter Facebook would be by somehow combining Gmail with its biggest slightly social property, YouTube. But that strategy depends on the continued health of Gmail. The way to think about this new Facebook messaging service is not to ask yourself "Would I use it?" Even if the answer is yes, far more significant is what happens to the hundreds of millions of young people worldwide who come online without ever becoming regular email users. That is just about everyone under 18, and many over that age. Instead, they are doing almost all their communicating inside Facebook.
Once they begin heading into adulthood they will almost certainly require more sophisticated messaging, including email. What system would be most likely to command their attention other than the one they were already by default using inside Facebook? Facebook's new messaging system will hurt Google most by depriving Gmail of what would otherwise be potential new users.
Another key thought when looking at Facebook's new messaging system: its monumental but insufficiently appreciated recent deal with Skype. Facebook users can now easily make calls to Facebook friends inside Skype. Before long you will be able to make voice or video calls simply by clicking a name in your Facebook friend list inside the service. Think of it—in addition to doing all the other things you can do inside of Facebook, you will be able to do your calling and all sorts of messaging there as well. Some are already wondering if Skype calls will be able to join the thread of communications between users on Facebook, along with emails, IMs and texts. Facebook is becoming its own alternate Internet, loaded with functionality you simply cannot find elsewhere.
One final thought—many wonder when Facebook's long-awaited IPO might occur. Zuckerberg is famously aiming to delay it as long as possible. However, if a feature battle with a more socially savvy Google finally does emerge, as I believe is inevitable, Facebook will then face an additional argument for going public. As hot new capabilities emerge in startups all around the world, Facebook will get into bidding wars for them with Google. Having a clearly valued currency in the form of a public stock will allow Facebook to move more quickly. (Today, Facebook's stock is trading in private markets at a range of prices, though big transactions are occuring at about a $30 billion valuation for the company.)
Facebook is becoming its own alternate Internet, loaded with functionality you simply cannot find elsewhere.
The social war between the Facebook/Microsoft axis and Google will help define the Web's next decade. It's the battle between likes and links.

'Pentagon hacker' McKinnon fights extradition
Case adjourned as lawyers argue over jurisdiction
A Briton accused of hacking into numerous Pentagon and NASA computers began his fight against extradition today. Gary McKinnon (AKA Solo), 39, of Wood Green, north London, allegedly hacked into 97 military and NASA computers over a 12 month period from February 2001 until March 2002, causing an estimated $700,000 (£370,000) in damages.
McKinnon allegedly exploited poorly-secured Windows systems to attack networks run by NASA, the Pentagon and 12 other military installations scattered over 14 states. The unemployed sysadmin was arrested in March 2002 by UK police prior to a November 2002 indictment by a Federal Grand Jury over eight computer crime offences. US authorities are seeking to extradite McKinnon, who faces charges punishable by up to 80 years in jail if convicted. McKinnon is contesting the extradition arguing through his lawyers that he ought to be tried in the UK.
At a hearing at London's Bow Street Magistrates' Court on Wednesday (27 July) prosecutors detailed (and updated) allegations that McKinnon seized control of over 53 US Army computers, 26 US Navy computers, 16 NASA systems, one US DoD computer and one US Air Force computer.
Mark Summers, representing the US government, said McKinnon mounted an attack in February 2002 that shut down Internet access to 2,000 military computers in the Washington area for 24 hours. McKinnon is accused of scanning networks for vulnerabilities and extracting admin accounts and passwords prior to using a software program called RemotelyAnywhere to snoop on network traffic, install hacking software and delete system logs. These actions led to the collapse of the Washington-area network. He admitted leaving a note on one US Army computers that said: "US foreign policy is akin to government sponsored terrorism these days... I am SOLO. I will continue to disrupt at the highest levels."
"The defendant's conduct was intentional. His objective was to disrupt the operation of the US government... thus endangering public safety," Sommers told the court. Despite the seriousness of the alleged attacks, US authorities are keen to stress no classified information was obtained through the year long assaults. Authorities reckon McKinnon acted alone and are not attributing his alleged crimes to any terrorist motive.
The defence asked for time to obtain expert opinion from a US legal experts and the case was adjourned until Tuesday 18 October. McKinnon's bail was extended on condition that he make no attempt to apply for international travel documents or to use a computer connected to the internet. District Judge Nicholas Evans relaxed a requirement to report to his local police station every day so that he only has to attend twice a week.
Karen Todner, McKinnon's solicitor, argued that as a Briton her client ought to be tried in the UK. In a prepared statement delivered outside court she criticised the delay between McKinnon's initial arrest and the start of extradition proceedings. "Gary McKinnon continues to vigorously contest extradition which was only belatedly requested by the US government. The British public need to ask themselves why British citizens are being extradited to the USA when the US government has not ratified the extradition treaty between the two countries," she said.
McKinnon, smartly dressed in a green suit, remained attentive throughout the proceedings and didn't betray any of the signs of nerves normally associated with defendants in high profile computer crime cases. He was supported in court by family and friends who ushered him into a waiting taxi bypassing requests to pose for photos made by the media. A number of websites have sprung up to support McKinnon's cause, the most comprehensive and organised of which is run by our friends at Spyblog (here). ®

A new study has unearthed something in the world of pharmacy more depressing than filled pediatric cancer-fighting prescriptions that never get picked up: it appears that across the country, pill-dispensing professionals are giving teenage girls misinformation about the morning after pill's legality and availability. But when doctors call the same pharmacists with questions, suddenly everyone at the pharmacy's got their facts straight. It doesn't take a professional mathlete to put two and two together here: pharmacists are routinely lying to teenage girls to keep them from emergency contraception. Stupidest professional moralizing ever?
According to current federal guidelines, girls age 17 and up are legally able to acquire the pill sans prescription at a pharmacy, and girls 17 and under are able to get it with a doctor's prescription. But researchers in an undercover study, conducted by the Boston Medical Center/Boston University School of Medicine and published in the journal Pediatrics, found that when girls 17 and under called their local apothecary for information about Plan B, they're often told that the pill is not legally available to them, or they're given incorrect information about whether or not they need a prescription. According to msnbc, the study went a little something like this,
All callers asked questions from a script. The first question was whether the pharmacy had the medication in stock — 80 percent of the 943 pharmacies said they did. Next, the researcher posing as a teen asked if she could get the drug, while the researcher posing as the doctor of a 17-year-old patient asked if the patient could get the medication.
There was a huge disparity between the answers given to the teens and those offered to the physicians, with 19 percent of the 17-year-olds being told that they couldn't get it under any circumstances, compared with only 3 percent of the physicians.
In addition, "teens" who called the pharmacies asked the people they spoke with if they knew what the age restrictions on the morning after pill were, but were given incorrect answers 43 percent of the time.
Someone call the fire department; we've got an outbreak of pants fires down at the old pharmacy!
Researchers surmise that some of the disparity could be explained by who study participants spoke with on the phone. People posing as "doctors" often were handed off to an actual pharmacist, whereas normal peons like you, me, or the study's fake teens may be relegated to a low-level pharmacy employee who spends all day spinning around on a stool wearing a dunce cap and doing that thing that cartoons do with their lips when they don't know the answer to something.
But if it looks like a duck and walks like a duck, there's probably also a hearty helping of piping hot duck l'moralizing with a delicate puritanical glaze being served up here.
The study didn't examine whether similar misinformation was given to people calling the pharmacy posing of women over the age of 17, or women who were married and saying they had a condom mishap with their husband; a disparity in Plan B misinformation given to teens versus these groups might help researchers determine if the moral problem of pharmacists is with teen sex, or with the chemistry of the morning after pill in general. Theoretically, if a pharmacist were opposed to the morning after pill no matter what the circumstances, they'd attempt to avoid prescribing it in all circumstances. But if their problem is with teenagers having sex and not having to suffer pregnancy (God's most precious, blessed, miraculous punishment for sluts), they'd lie more often to the teens.
Teens having unprotected sex en masse is probably not ideal, but moralizing as though the world is ideal is a dangerous practice. And until doctors develop a pill that allows 17-year-olds to go back in time and unbreak the condom, Plan B's the best we've got.

McCROSSON, THOMAS, businessman, editor, and reformatory superintendent; b. 27 Jan. 1827 in Strabane (Northern Ireland), son of Hugh McCrosson and Catherine McCallum; m. first November 1856 Deborah Elizabeth Parker (d. 1876); they had no children; m. secondly 25 Nov. 1879 Marie Lemoine in Penetanguishene, Ont., and they had three sons; d. there 2 April 1905.
For most of his life Thomas McCrosson was active in the affairs of the Roman Catholic Church. Much of the personal information about him derives from a lengthy obituary prepared by a friend, journalist William Halley, and published in the Catholic Register. Evidently McCrosson had immigrated to Lower Canada as a youth of 19 in 1846 and settled in Montreal, taking up the trade of hatter. Becoming knowledgeable in the fur trade, he travelled to Europe for his employers. In the early 1850s he moved to Toronto, where he set up his own hat and fur business opposite St James' Cathedral.
Halley relates that McCrosson "entered with ardor into every movement for the benefit of his countrymen and co-religionists." A fervent admirer of Thomas D'Arcy McGee*, he was a political associate of a number of prominent Catholic leaders, including Frank Smith; from 1877 to 1879 he was editor and publisher of the Toronto Tribune, a Catholic weekly that "sustained the principles of the [Ontario] Catholic League." It seems likely that his appointment on 1 July 1879 by the Ontario Liberal government of Oliver Mowat to the superintendency of the Reformatory Prison at Penetanguishene was attributable to political motives, possibly to the administration's desire to place Catholics in important government jobs.
McCrosson's historical significance lies in his superintendence of the reformatory until it was closed in 1904. Once he had been appointed, Ontario prison inspector John Woodburn Langmuir* declared himself determined to carry out a "revolution of the present system" so that Penetanguishene would become "a Reformatory in fact," instead of a prison for children. He sent McCrosson to study facilities in the United States in order to be able to eliminate from the Ontario reformatory "its more glaring defects" and "substitute therefore the best methods . . . which skilled specialists in well-managed institutions have adopted." Langmuir's instructions were specific. The terms convict and prisoner were eliminated in favour of boys, the warden became superintendent and the guards overseers, and the name of the institution was changed to the Ontario Reformatory for Boys. McCrosson was instructed to "use every means" to gain the confidence of the boys and to suspend any officer who displayed harshness. Everything possible was done to alter the appearance of the institution to make it seem less prison-like. As a demonstration of trust, the boys received a substantial degree of liberty, being able, for example, to attend church in town with minimal supervision. These efforts were capped by a statute in 1880 that made it possible for them to earn remission and allowed the superintendent to place some of them out on apprenticeship.
Almost immediately Langmuir and McCrosson learned that they had underestimated the challenge they faced. Many boys took advantage of the lax administration to escape. Others seemed to manifest increased hostility. Perhaps because of a reassertion of traditional discipline, conditions soon improved. After 1880 McCrosson ran the facility in a way which did not differ substantially from that of his predecessor, William Moore Kelly. Indeed, his administration was beset by similar problems, and his disillusionment was frankly expressed in his testimony in 1890 to the commission on the prison and reformatory system of Ontario, chaired by Langmuir. Asked whether Penetanguishene, as operated under the existing system, could ever be made an effective reformatory, McCrosson responded "no, never." He argued that the dominion government's restrictive control of the pardoning power, combined with the tendency of provincial judges to sentence boys to definite rather than indefinite terms, undermined any possibility of achieving a system of remission based on good conduct. He described the 1880 statute allowing indefinite sentences as "entirely inoperative" and admitted that there was no possibility of classifying the boys and that he did not even keep a regular record of their behaviour. The institution's industrial system existed primarily "for maintaining order"; when the boys left they had "a very imperfect knowledge of any trade," and the small amount of good land in the Penetanguishene area limited possibilities for farming. The reformatory's location, he agreed, was a drawback because "we are here all the twelve months in the year without seeing anyone who takes an interest in the inmates." As for the section of the statute that permitted boys to be released through apprenticeship, it was "almost entirely a dead letter" because McCrosson had "no means of knowing who will take apprentices" or of knowing what happened to the boys after release.
In its Report of 1891, the commission recommended numerous changes in the administration of the Penetanguishene facility, including its removal to a more suitable locality. Few of these reforms were carried out and, perhaps surprisingly, McCrosson remained as superintendent. By the mid 1890s, with the opening of four industrial schools in the Toronto area and the expanding prestige of John Joseph Kelso*'s Children's Aid Society movement, which offered a creative alternative to incarceration, Penetanguishene was an institution in decline. McCrosson nevertheless achieved some successes. Between 1893 and 1902 he released 64 boys as apprentices and another 272 were pardoned; historian Andrew Jones has calculated that almost 60 per cent of those committed in this period were pardoned or apprenticed before finishing their terms. Despite these efforts, and facing criticism over rising costs, the reformatory was unable to compete with alternative forms of care for delinquent boys. It was closed in 1904.
As superintendent McCrosson had operated under severe constraints. Although he professed to believe that the institution played a useful role, he had been unable to persuade the province to open a reformed facility in a more suitable location. Lacking in the training which would soon be demanded of those who did comparable work, McCrosson none the less held progressive views about the causes of delinquency. He told the commission of 1890 that he doubted the significance of heredity in leading boys to crime because fully two-thirds of those he had come into contact with were the children "of honest, careful, thoughtful parents," a position Langmuir described as "remarkable." Even J. J. Kelso, though hostile to the reformatory, retained a warm regard for its superintendent. From time to time there had been charges that McCrosson's appointment had been political. In the legislature in 1899 members of the Conservative opposition claimed that he was a mere figurehead who campaigned at elections while his assistant did all the work in the reformatory. Although this accusation was exaggerated, Kelso himself asserted that the appointments of staff were "entirely political"; during several visits he had not seen one employee, "outside of the Warden, who seemed at all fitted" for the work. McCrosson, he concluded, in the most revealing assessment of the superintendent's career, was a "good-natured man who always had a kind word for the lads . . . but he had absolutely no control. He had not appointed any of those under him, he could not dismiss them, and he had found by experience that to find fault or criticize their work was not only useless but increased his burden and anxieties, so he made the best of the situation and said nothing."

For the moment, John was in prison. Jail cells in those days were terrible places: dark, damp, and infested with rats. When an individual was thrown into prison, he or she was awaiting two things: trial or execution.
It should not be surprising that under these conditions, John would begin to have his doubts about Jesus' messiahship. John's disciples have been reporting to him Jesus' comings and goings. It could have been that John's dire situation in prison and the reports of John's disciples that Jesus was not acting in conventional and acceptable messianic fashion, led John to doubt Jesus' calling as the Anointed One.
Jesus was not living up to the expectations of the people. The people of Israel wanted a Messiah to bring in God's Kingdom that would give them power and control over the pagans. They wanted Jesus to lead a messianic revolt, to take up the sword and overthrow the Romans tossing Pilate out of Judea. Perhaps this is what John wanted as well. Just because John believed Jesus to be the Messiah, did not mean he understood how Jesus would fulfill that messiahship.
Some have suggested that John's question was not asked for his own sake, but for the sake of his disciples. Some believe that this was an attempt by John to show his disciples that Jesus truly was the Messiah; but no such insulation of John's faith is necessary. There is no danger to John's character because of his doubt. Faith is fashioned in the workshop of doubt. Jesus will point out that John remains a great man for good reason.
"Are you the one who was to come, or should we expect someone else?" Notice that Jesus does not answer the question directly. He tells John to judge for himself: "Go back and report to John what you hear and see: the blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor."
Jesus appeals to the evidence. Jesus himself affirms the discipline of apologetics. Apologetics has fallen on hard times in certain Christian post-modern circles, where reason is denigrated in favor of experience (often referred to as relationship) as if the two can be separated so neatly. While it is true that certain apologetical methodologies lean too closely toward rationalism, here we see in this passage from Matthew, the importance Jesus places on the appeal to reason and experience.
The question is asked today, "Is Jesus the one?" The only answer worth considering is, "Look at the evidence. what do you see, what do you hear?" The only way others will know that Jesus is the one is by looking at the character, worship, ministry, and scholarship of his disciples. Will the evidence we produce assist others in considering Jesus?

Vitamin B12
by Mary Calvagna, MS
Vitamin B12, also called cobalamin, is a water-soluble vitamin. Water-soluble vitamins are stored in the body in limited amounts and are excreted through the urine. Therefore, it is a good idea to have them in your daily diet. Vitamin B12, the most complex of the vitamins, contains the metal cobalt in its structure.
Vitamin B12's functions include the following:
Recommended Intake:
Vitamin B12 Deficiency
Most diets provide adequate B12; deficiency is often a result of absorption problems. In the stomach's acidic environment and through the action of the enzyme pepsin, vitamin B12 is released from food. People who do not have enough stomach acid (such as those taking strong acid-neutralizing medications) may not be able to separate B12 from food. People with this problem, however, absorb B12 supplements without difficulty.
Two proteins are also important for the vitamin's absorption and transport: intrinsic factor (IF) and R proteins. A B12 deficiency can result if there are any problems with pepsin, IF, or R proteins. Reduced secretion may occur in mid- to late-life. Severely reduced levels of IF lead to a condition called pernicious anemia. People with pernicious anemia have trouble absorbing B12 supplements and may need either very high doses or injections.
Symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency include the following:
Vitamin B12 Toxicity
Vitamin B12 has a low potential for toxicity. The tolerable upper intake level (UL) for vitamin B12 from dietary sources and supplements combined has not been determined. This does not mean that there is no potential for adverse effects resulting from high intakes. Because data is limited, caution should be used when supplementing.
No symptoms of vitamin B12 toxicity have been reported.
Major Food Sources
Vitamin B12 can be found in animal products, such as fish, meat, poultry, eggs, and milk. Some foods high in vitamin B12 include:
Health Implications
Populations at Risk for Vitamin B12 Deficiency
The following populations may be at risk for vitamin B12 deficiency and may require a supplement:
Folate Supplementation May Mask a B12 Deficiency
Megaloblastic anemia can occur as a result of either a folate deficiency or a vitamin B12 deficiency. Supplementing with folate can correct this anemia. But, it will not correct the B12 deficiency. Permanent nerve damage can result if a B12 deficiency is left untreated. If you have megaloblastic anemia, talk with your doctor about assessing your B12 status as well as your folate status.
