police is certain that the information was not the target of the burglary. the data analyst lives in a neighborhood which has had frequent break-ins these last few months.
though no medical or financial data was stolen, the social security numbers by themselves can be used to obtain credit by the thieves.

interview with iraq veterans at the protests in washington dc. its happening now and you won't see it on the news, time to take action!
a veteran actor had finally been offered a part, but it was only a single line. at one point in a civil war play, he was to come on stage and say, "hark! is that not the distant sound of artillery?" scornfully, he told his agent he would not dream of taking it, but his agent felt otherwise. "monty, baby," he said, "you havent been on the boards in a ling time and you got to keep your name out there. i admit that this is only a single line, but its a crucial one, and properly delivered, it can do a lot for you. grudgingly, the veteran conceded the point; it meant a little income at least. he hastened out to baltimore, where the play was getting its tryout, and all the way there he kept practicing the line with a variety of readings, trying to determine which was best. our actor arrived shortly before curtain time. while the play proceeded, he was put into uniform and makeup, and this was barely completed when his cue sounded. he rushed onto the stage just as the sound effects man let loose a horrible clatter that sounded like twenty-seven anvils falling in rapid succession-this signifying the distant sound of artillery. at which, the actor jumped, turned, and cried out,"what the hell was that?"
these protests are going on right now, you won't hear it on the news. get out and be heard.
a former royal navy lieutenant has been reunited with the watch he lost during the world war ii. teddy bacon, 89, of tarvin, cheshire, lost his bulova watch while throwing a line from hms repulse to gibraltar harbour in 1941. he left his name and address with the harbour master but expected to never see it again. mr bacon said he was "amazed" when he received a parcel with a gibraltar postcode and his watch inside. "i told my wife, you unpack it, and you will find out it isn't a present for you," he said. "then out came my watch complete with everything, exactly as it had been when it disappeared. "it's exciting to have an old friend, i won't lose it again." the american-brand watch, which he was told had been underwater in mud, is still working and telling the time perfectly. mr bacon added: "remembering what my father said, nothing is lost until you are certain it's left the planet. "well it didn't leave the planet, it's back." source
[florida]- you can have it your way, but you can’t halve it your way — at least not at the burger king on cape coral parkway. john mack found this out a week ago wednesday when he went to that burger king, ordered a whopper with cheese, fries and a drink and then asked the young man preparing the meal to cut the sandwich in half. after mack made the request, the worker looked at a woman mack assumed was the manager. she told mack that the restaurant policy was not to cut sandwiches. the problem: mack has one arm. “i was a little flabbergasted,” mack said, when the workers refused to cut the whopper. while serving in the u.s. military in 1977, mack suffered a “traumatic amputation” of his right arm, the 52-year-old cape coral man said. mack’s arm is removed 6 inches above the elbow. wearing a short-sleeve shirt, he still pointed out the obvious and told the worker that he was disabled. the woman said that plastic knives were available if he wanted to cut the sandwich himself. he said that if he could have cut the burger with a plastic knife, he wouldn’t have asked them to cut it for him. “she shrugged her shoulders,” mack said, “like whatever.” mack said he was hungry, so he bought the meal anyway. “i sat there and let it fall apart and ate it,” he said. i called the cape coral restaurant and the manager said she couldn’t discuss the incident. the cape coral parkway burger king is one of 27 burger king restaurant franchises owned by southern management corp. of belle glade. j. blanco, the director of operations, spoke to me. “that’s our policy, not to cut the sandwich,” blanco said. “we want to keep the employees safe so they don’t cut themselves and for the customers, too. the less you mess around with the customer’s food, the better.” employees are afraid they’ll lose their jobs if they violate corporate rules, blanco said. still, he contended, the manager should have exercised common sense and cut mack’s burger. blanco added that if he had been in the restaurant that day, he would have broken the policy, washed his hands and cut the sandwich himself. as blanco put it: “some things you do because it’s the right thing to do and the human thing to do.” source
