One hacked email address led to the defacement of Comcasts homepage. When the hackers called Comcasts technical contact to let him know all 200 Comcast domain names and Comcast homepage were vulnerable, he hung up on them.
It has not been disclosed how the email was compromised, but there are many ways […]

Time magazine has an article about overprotective parents. The Title is appropriate:
The Growing Backlash Against Overparenting
Fair enough.
My problem is how the article is framed:
…we just wanted what was best for our kids. We bought macrobiotic cupcakes and hypoallergenic socks, hired tutors to correct a 5-year-old’s “pencil-holding deficiency,” … We hovered over every school, playground […]

There is nothing I enjoy more than reading a book that is described by the publisher and critics as “controversial” or “provocative.”  “The Gentiles, A History of Sri Lanka 1498-1833,” a carefully researched and well written book by Agnes Padmini Thambynayagam is such a book.  As you may have guess by her name, Ms. Thambynayagam […]

In July 2008 we all remember the infamous 911 call in Orlando made from Cindy Anthony reporting the disappearance of her then 2 year old granddaughter, Caylee Anthony.
Now the stranger part of this call is the fact that the child had been missing for 31 days and the mother claimed the baby’s “Nanny” took the […]

The panel looks like it will be full strength this week, Simon and Jan Barrett, ace reporter for WSKY 97.3 TJ Hart, investigator William Cobra Staubs, investigative journalist Levi Page, and Crime writer Denny Griffin.
It was an […]

I have heard that they are going to be making a ninth season of this show, but that it will be about Zach Braff as Dr. John Dorian.  Now, I don’t know if that is true or not, but I can only hope that it will in fact not be true.  The entire cast is […]

Writing and reporting on missing children is not an easy thing to do if you are a parent or someone who deeply cares about children. You tend to take it personal and start to feel like the child is like your own or a close relative that you love.
In February we heard about little 5 […]

I always enjoy biographies, not of the rich and famous, those books tend to be adventures in self glorification written by a hired gun ghostwriter. No, I am talking about books about real people with real and compelling life stories. Where Do We Go From Here is just such a book. Patricia Bonelli has written […]

Chloe snuggles up to chance once again and when she apparently hurts him she apologizes. She tells him she thinks maybe he should take Katherine up on her offer to him for a job at Chancellor Industries saying it is a lot safer sitting behind a desk where the worse he can get would be […]

And it ain’t a happy day for the CRU.  True, this is a cybercrime, and the perpetrator(s) should be brought to justice.  But equally as big is the contents of the >1000 e-mails and >3800 documents. 
The Hadley Climate Research Unit has confirmed the hack, so this is not a hoax, and global-warming-skeptic sites like […]

“Planet 51 fills up the space nicely.”
_ PLANET 51_
Title: PLANET 51
PLANET 51. The name alone takes a stab at Sci-Fi myths and legends. Area 51 has long been thought to house beings and spacecrafts from other worlds. So it only fitting that if you are going to make a film about an alien planet being […]

“The Blind Side is a must see.”
_ The Blind Side _
Title: The Blind Side
I like a good underdog story. Remember the Titans or Erin Brockovich. What I don’t like is manipulation; those films that try and play your heart strings with scene after scene of emotional drivel in order to cover up for a lack […]

“New Moon, same story.”
The Twilight saga continues with the second film, New Moon. This generates two very different reactions. One being high pitched screams and over exuberant elation the other being a casual, “eh, so what”. Meaning that fans of the best selling teen geared novels are so ready to see Edward and Bella back […]

The mother of the youngest victim of mesothelioma in the UK has said that she will fight to learn the truth about how and why her daughter contracted the asbestos cancer that killed her, and has promised that she will do it alone of necessary because her lawyers have given up on the case.

Ever forge your husbands signature? Wife’s? Parents? Clients? Do you think the clerk behind the counter at Walmart is skilled in handwriting analysis? I’ve always viewed a signature as a totally ridiculous form of authentication and a total waste of my time when I sign my name. It’s always been burden […]

When I was working as a physician in the US, our Federal clinic’s policy was to order mammograms on all women starting at age 4o.
Why was this important? Because there is some indications that mammogram and early diagnosis increases the cure rate for breast cancer in young women.
This statement is not as obvious as you […]

In an earlier article that I published today we broke the news that Tommy Croslin was once again behind bars. There was little information other than that he was being held on No Bond and the charge was battery. Tommy Croslin is the brother of Misty Croslin, the ex-stepmom of Haleigh Cummings.
I must confess that […]

Trace Hacquard poses a question that is near and dear to my heart, is the music genre of Rock dead, are there any bands of today that will be inspiring the next generation, are there bands today that will still be played 20, 30, even 40 years from now?
As a music reviewer I ask the […]

The more I look at the file that was released  concerning the dismissal of the bar complaint that Crystal Sheffield and Marie Griffis brought against attorney Kim Picazio the more interesting I find it. I see specks of gold everywhere.
