Database Hacks - Are Banks Required To Notify You?
Ever wonder if banks are required to tell customers when
their systems are hacked? You may be shocked to learn that
they are not. The only exception to this standard has been
database hacks that effect California residents. Companies
doing business in California are required to give such
notice under the California Security Breach Information Act.
The situation is changing quickly on the federal level.
Regulations have been issued by federal finance agencies
that now force banks to tell customers when their personal
data has been exposed to unauthorized third parties. The
regulations are issued pursuant to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley
Act, which contains language requiring financial
institutions to prevent unauthorized access and use of
consumer information.
The new regulations appear to be a reaction to several
recent high-profile data leaks. They include incidents such
as Bank of America losing data tapes containing information
for over 1 million government employees and the breach of
databases for LexisNexis and ChoicePoint. It is well known
that numerous other banks have also been hacked over the
years, but the information has been hushed up.
The new regulations require financial institutions to notify
account holders if the institution becomes aware of
unauthorized access to sensitive customer information. The
directives apply to banks and savings and loan companies,
but not credit unions.
There are two serious loopholes in the regulations. First, a
financial institution that discovers a database breach must
only notify account holders if it is “reasonably possible”
that personal details will be misused. Second, the
regulations only apply to personal data, not business or
commercial accounts.
While these new regulations are a positive step, one could
drive a truck through the two loopholes. Determining whether
it is “reasonably possible” that your information will be
misused is a vague standard that many financial institutions
will use to withhold information. Put bluntly, the
notification regulations are gutless.
The best method for keeping an eye on database breaches is
to look for stories in the news. Under California law,
companies are required to give notice to California
residents when breaches occur. If you see a story about your
bank giving notice of a hack to California residents, your
personal information may have also been exposed. Hackers do
not restrict their attacks to California residents.

Some Useful Info to Repair Bad Credit
Bad credit can be devastating to your financial standing, in that it gives you an adverse influence; it can also, at times, be trouble for you if you purchase on credit or get a loan. A negative credit rating also results in a high fee being charged, thus extending the overall debt.
In such cases, people usually resort to credit repair services, and mostly end up paying high charges to settle bad credit. There are alternative ways to balance bad credit; and they happen to be easy as well as free.
To begin with, find out the exact cause of your bad credit. It is not feasible to repair bad credit unless you’re completely knowledgeable of the reason you got into it. A few likely causes for this situation could be a posteponed payment of a loan; maybe some unexpected events such as medical bills, job difficulties, etc.
Once you’ve established the root cause to your problem, work your way towards the centre and focus on a solution that’s practical and efficient. Get an idea of your present-day financial status by going through your recent credit reports. Make sure you keep track of existing credits and transactions. Use the recent statements from your creditors and yearly credit reports to judge your financial position.
To actually fix your bad credit and get your financial status back in a positive standing, you need to start regulating your expenses and adjust your lifestyle. Don’t delay paying your expenses. If you can, pay them as soon as they arrive. This will avoid held up payment charges, if in case an unexpected situation comes up and prevents you from paying your expenses on time. Cut down your credit card expenses as much as you can. To some, this may sound absurd, but if you look back, you’ll understand that the ancient people lived a better life than we do today, and they did not use credit cards. Consistency in bill payments is the crucial point here. Slowly pay up all your credit bills and you’ll eventually repair your financial status.
People often suggest that you discuss with your creditors. If you pull the right strings and negotiate wisely, you could get discounts, instead of surcharges. Be positive and conservative. While talking to your creditors is not a surefire way of repairing bad credit, it certainly can be efficient.
Prevention is the best strategy. Instead of having to face bad credit, why not hold it off in the first place? Pay your bills on time, do not put off credit payments, and cut down on your credit card usage. However, if you do fall into a bad credit position, then abide by the tips above. Bad credit can at times impair your social profile and hinder access to loans on favorable terms, mortgages, etc.

Lawsuit Cash Advances - Things to Consider
In recent years people who have been involved in personal injury accidents have discovered that they can receive a lawsuit cash advance against the proceeds they ultimately receive from a personal injury accident settlement. For the person who is injured enough from an accident so as to be unable to work and earn a living, a lawsuit cash advance can provide a very timely financial solution to the cash flow problems the person may currently face. Nevertheless it is always wise to know beforehand what a person is getting themselves into before they apply for a lawsuit cash advance.
A lawsuit cash advance is not a loan but a participation in a personal injury legal settlement. If the injured victim who receives the lawsuit cash advance for whatever reason doesn’t receive a cash settlement from their case, they owe nothing and the company that provides the lawsuit cash advance receives nothing. This means that, like any underwriter, the provider of the lawsuit cash advance must determine what the likelihood is of ultimately receiving payment for the cash they advance and charge accordingly. Because of the nature of the lawsuit cash advance, normal interest rates will not apply, so the provider will most likely charge more for the lawsuit cash advance than a traditional lender would.
The fees charged for lawsuit cash advances can vary significantly. Typical fees for automotive cases are 3.0% per month and for medical malpractice cases 5.5% per month. Nevertheless it is not uncommon for some companies to charge a low entry fee to get business through the door and then charge additional, hidden fees to the personal injury accident victim.
Many companies say they will provide a lawsuit cash advance within 24-48 hours, but actual application times can vary greatly and are subject to the extent of the documentation required from the personal injury accident victim along with other factors. And it is important to realize that a company that approves an application too quickly may be charging the client through the roof to compensate for their less than stringent underwriting requirements.
The business of providing lawsuit cash advances to personal injury accident victims also has its share of brokers. A person is best off if they can find a company that provides the actual funding for lawsuit cash advances and deal with them directly. Otherwise the fee that a broker charges will be added to the fee the provider of the lawsuit cash advance receives from the personal injury accident victim.

Work Place Injury: Can You Sue Your Employer for Your Injury?
The Virginia Workers’ Compensation Law was adopted in 1918. The law provides compensation for lost wages and medical benefits. The common law right to sue the employer for the worker’s injuries was abolished. However, the employer lost the right to defend the accident on the basis of the worker’s contributory negligence or assumption of risk. Also, the worker did not have to prove the employer’s negligence caused his injury. As noted by the Virginia Supreme Court in Feitig v. Chalkey, 185 Va. 96 (1946), the principles of the Virginia Workers’ Compensation Law have been accepted by practically all of the States in the United States.
The principle restriction on recovery in a workers’ compensation case is that you cannot recover “pain and suffering” as you can in a personal injury case. The principle benefit may be a speedier but smaller recovery without resorting to costly litigation.
Of course, if the injury results from the actions of a third party, the worker can file a personal injury action against the third party provided the third party is not a co-employee. The usual example of this is if the worker is driving a company vehicle which is negligently struck by a driver of another vehicle. In this situation, the worker would have a workers compensation claim against his employer and a personal injury claim against the driver of the other vehicle. Also, if the injury was caused by defective equipment, then the worker could sue the manufacturer of the machine and workers compensation would not be a bar to this kind of product liability lawsuit.
In my workers’ compensation practice, potential clients often ask “Why can’t I sue my employer for my injury?” The only response I can make is that the State of Virginia in 1918 like the other States in the United States at about this time decided that industry and labor were better served if employers were required to provide workers’ compensation insurance as a cost of doing business rather than the worker having to rely on the uncertainty of personal injury lawsuits.

How Well Do You Know The Constitution
Over 200 years ago our forefathers under took a GRAND EXPERIMENT in self-government. Brought together for the purpose of providing amendments to the Articles of Confederation, they instead offered the Constitution.
But how well do you know the Constitution?
The Constitution has as its origin the idea that the people hold all power. And that through the constitutions of the several States the people delegated some of their powers to their state governments. While in the Constitution of the United States, they transferred some of the powers which they granted to the individual States, in whole or in part, to the United States, as well as delegated it with some of their own powers.
The powers that were given to the United States in the Constitution were either exclusive or concurrent (that is shared) with the individual States. Exclusive power for the United States existed in three ways: “where the Constitution in express terms granted an exclusive authority to the Union; where it granted in one instance an authority to the Union, and in another prohibited the States from exercising the like authority; and where it granted an authority to the Union to which a similar authority in the States would be absolutely and totally contradictory and repugnant. Alexander Hamilton, Federalist Papers #32.”
And to carry out these exclusive and concurrent powers, the United States was given the power “to make laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, and all other powers vested by this Constitution in the government of the United States, or in any department or officer thereof. Article 1, Section 18, Constitution of the United States.”
Commenting on this provision, Alexander Hamilton wrote in Federalist Paper #33:
“What is a power but the ability or faculty of doing a thing? What is the ability to do a thing but the power of employing the means necessary to its execution? What is a legislative power but a power of making laws? What are the means to execute a legislative power but laws? What is the power of laying and collecting taxes, but a legislative power, or a power of making laws to lay and collect taxes? What are the proper means of executing such a power but necessary and proper laws?
This simple train of inquiry furnishes us at once with a test of the true nature of the (necessary and proper) clause. It conducts us to this palpable truth that a power to lay and collect taxes must be a power to pass all laws necessary and proper for the execution of that power; and what does this provision do more than declare the same truth, to wit, that the national legislature to whom the power of laying and collecting taxes had been previously given might, in the execution of that power, pass all laws necessary and proper to carry it into effect? The same process will lead to the same result in relation to all other powers declared in the Constitution. And it is expressly to execute these powers that the sweeping clause, as it has been affectedly called, authorizes the national legislature to pass all necessary and proper laws.
It may be affirmed with perfect confidence that the constitutional operation of the intended government would be precisely the same if the clause was entirely obliterated as if it were repeated in every article. It is only declaratory of a truth which would have resulted by necessary and unavoidable implication from the very act of constituting a federal government and vesting it with certain specified powers.”
Along with the powers granted to the United States in the Constitution, exceptions (or restrictions) were placed on these powers. Some examples -
1) On the power of Congress to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts, and excises, we have some of the following exceptions:
a) No capitation or other direct tax shall be laid, unless in proportion to the census or enumeration herein before directed to be taken,
b) No tax or duty shall be laid on articles exported from any State, and,
c) No vessel bound to, or from, one State shall be obligated to pay duties in another.
2) For the power of Congress to regulate commerce among the several States, we have this restriction: “No preference shall be given by any regulation of commerce to the ports of one State over those of another.”
3) Regarding the power of Congress to constitute tribunals inferior to the Supreme Court, there is this exception:
“The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.”
4) And the power of Congress to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, there is this restriction:
“No Bill of attainder or ex post facto law shall be passed.”
Originally, the Constitution had no bill of rights. The reason for this, according to our forefathers, “was that the new government was one of specific and enumerated powers and possessed no authority except in those spheres where it had received a grant of power… Since the powers of Congress were limited by enumeration, it would be absurd to attach an additional section to the Constitution specifying what Congress could not do.
The American Constitution: Its Origins And Development, 5th Edition, by Alfred H. Kelly and Winfred A. Harbison, 1976, page 143.” However, due to a general misunderstanding about the Constitution at the time of its ratification, a bill of rights was added to the Constitution in order to obtain ratification of the Constitution itself.
So - how well do you know the Constitution, now?

Turnitin.com Infringes Upon Student's Rights
Turnitin.com is undeniably an effective deterrent to plagiarism, but it is the very issue of copyright infringement that has people questioning the legality of the site. What many people don’t understand is that works do not need to be registered to be copyrighted. Every literary work that is saved to a tangible medium (this includes paper, computer disk, etc.) is protected by federal copyright laws. Thus, the works submitted to Turnitin.com are copyrighted and the authors hold complete rights to the works. What the Turnitin.com system does, however, is it stores the submitted paper on their servers. This is done without the student’s permission. Turnitin.com is operating under the pretense that teachers will force their students to submit to Turnitin.com. Thus, student papers are stored in iParadigm’s (the company that runs Turnitin.com) database. This in itself is a blatant violation of the 1976 Federal Copyright Act. Turnitin.com is duplicating copyrighted material without the consent of the student. The student is forced to submit to the site, so submissions are not considered voluntary. In addition, the site does not ask for permission to store the paper, instead, it is done automatically.
iParadigm and their team of lawyers admit in their legal page that the archiving of papers is treading on shaky legal ground. They affirm, however, that their services constitute “fair use” by grounds that their service does not limit the marketability of the paper. The claim that their service doesn’t limit the marketability of a paper is false. If one were to sell a term-paper that was already in the Turnitin.com database, the paper would be of little use to a potential student buyer because any similarities from the student’s paper would be red flagged. The very addition of a paper to the Turnitin.com database severely limits the feasible marketability of the paper. That is, the archiving of one’s paper eliminates other students with the same assignment as potential buyers of the paper.
Another strikingly illegal aspect of the Turnitin.com service is the fact that many teachers submit student works without the student’s permission. Turnitin.com is operating under the pretense that this is occurring. When a student gives a teacher a paper for grading the assumption is that evaluative rights are given to the teacher. In no way is the teacher entitled to submit the paper to be copied to the iParadigm servers. iParadigm is breaking copyright laws by duplicating a paper without the copyright holder’s consent. In effect, the paper (but not the copyright) becomes property of Turnitin.com. Turnitin.com is clearly making a profit off the papers that students submit. Without the database of some 60,000 student-submitted papers, the Turnitin.com service would not be as effective. Every paper submitted makes the service more effective and the company therefore yields greater profits. Schools that use the service have to pay large amounts of money in the thousands to ten thousands of dollars range. It is clear that the company is profiting off of students’ copyrighted hard-work. Interestingly enough, the very place that the Turnitin.com service originally started now has grave doubts over the legality of the Turnitin.com service. Turnitin.com founder John Barrie was a graduate student at UC Berkeley when he started developing the software that the site runs on. Currently, UC Berkeley does not subscribe to Turnitin.com because they feel the site may be infringing upon student’s copyrights.

Improved Prostate Well-being with Natural Remedies
Medical professionals call a swollen prostate benign prostate hyperplasia, or BPH. In layman’s terms this means that the prostate, a mass similar in size to a walnut sited just beneath the bladder and wrapping around the urethra, enlarges this can impair or even stop urinary flow. As males age, their prostatic gland enlarges and can engender complaints for example micturition difficulties, a weak stream, and the holding of residual urine within the bladder. Too frequent urination disrupting sleep and even frequent infections of the urinary system are a few of of the additional symptoms which may result from prostatic swelling. What Is BPH? Males over 60 commonly develop an enlarged prostate. Annual tests are urged for males in their fifties and beyond, even if no symptoms look to be occuring, for the upkeep of prostatic wellness. Inability to micturate or the presence of blood in the urine should result in seeking immediate medical treatment. Therapies for Benign Prostate Hyperplasia can include surgical operations or drug therapy. Regrettably, erectile troubles and incontinence may be observed after a surgical procedure. An alpha blocker and medicines to reduce the prostate gland may also be given to improve prostate gland wellness, but medication will frequently lead to negative side effects so what are some more natural treatments? Enlarged Prostate Troubles? Discover Holistic Therapies to Gain Improve Prostate Fitness: — To reduce the many problems connected with prostate enlargement and to promote improved prostatic fitness, many herbal formulae will help. Swelling is greatly controlled by the herb Afican pygeum, controlling most of any more disagreeable symptoms. Derived from the fruit of a tree native to southern Africa, African pygeum has been prescribed regularly in Europe as a herbal therapy for better prostatic health.
Trimming Back the fats in the diet can improve matters, and in addition increasing exercise, frequency of ejaculations to alleviate pressure in the prostate, and trying to keep to a minimum sitting for a long time. Consuming non prescription antihistamines and even decongestant drugs may increase any symptoms of an enlarged prostate gland, therefore use these with caution. Further recommendations include to quit drinking near retiring for the night in cutting down the need to urinate during the night, the reduction of alcoholic drinks and drinking less coffee and tea can reduce the symptoms experienced. Prostatic function can also respond to other natural remedies for example saw palmetto extract, Borago officinalis oil, selenium, and also lycopene, which can be obtained from tomatoes. Do make sure you check with your healthcare professional prior to starting any alternative treatment of an enlarged prostate.

Boat Wax-Shine On
It has been our experience that nothing so much insures the beauty and longevity of a fiberglass boat than the continual maintenance of a good coat of high quality wax. In this article we will explore the preparation, methods, and best practices for the long term maintenance of your boats gel coat through the use of wax.
The Problem
Gel-coat, the exterior finish on fiberglass boats, is a porous mix of polyester resins and pigments that must be sealed from the damaging effects of salt, dirt, weather, and ultra-violet (UV) radiation.
The primary purpose of gel-coat is to protect the underlying core from water, air and sunlight, which in combination will quickly loosen the chemical bond and render the structure useless. Neglect this gel-coat, and it becomes more porous, resins oxidize and what remains is a faded, dull finish prone to absorbing water into the laminate and destroying it.
In addition to the above functional definition we also need to say a few words about the beauty factor, the shine of a newly polished and waxed boat. In a great example of form following function, gel-coat kept clean and shiny, with a good coat of wax, will perform it’s primary function pretty much in direct proportion to the way it looks.
The Players
Now that we’ve named the problem, what are the choices for solving it? The simplest solution would, of course be to keep the boat away from sun, water, and oxygen. I said simple, not practical.
All of the “New”, “Easy On-Easy Off”, “Modern Chemical Miracle”, products may look great on TV (we’ve tried them all too
but in the real world of salt water, sun, fishing, spills, and air pollution, they simply don’t hold up compared to the simple, natural, God made it, “Tree of Life”, Brazilian No.1 Carnauba wax.
Unlike the modern marvels of chemical engineering, Carnauba comes from a tree, the Copernica Cerifera palm tree, to be specific. The color and quality of the wax are governed by the age of the leaves and care used in processing of this hard, brittle, lustrous wax. It runs from a golden yellow in color to nearly white and has an unmistakable but pleasant “tree” smell to it.
Due to the fact that carnauba is a natural plant by-product, it will not react with gel coat or painted surfaces. The Carnauba Wax acts as a protective barrier providing a very hard film over your boats surface that protect against sun and weather damage, airborne contaminates, such as acid rain, spills, fish remains, salt and bird droppings, etc.
Carnauba even swells and closes its pores tighter when exposed to water. In addition, Carnauba dramatically reduces gel coat oxidation by diffusing the UV and infrared radiation from the sun which will oxidize and dull your boats finish.
Interesting Carnauba Facts
- Pure Carnauba in its natural state is harder than concrete.
- Typical retail waxes contain 3% to 5% Carnauba by volume.
- Less then 5% of retail Carnauba waxes contain Brazilian No.1 Carnauba, the finest of all waxes.
- The greater the concentration of Carnauba, the greater the level of protection and the higher the quality of shine.
How Does It Work?
Using a high quality paste wax applied over a clean polished surface will give you 3 to 4 months of protection here on the Emerald Coast. This doesn’t mean the wax is gone in this time but the appearance and protection will begin to fade rapidly. (based on our own experience, independent testing, and the reports of most of our clients)
For more information on the properties of different waxes, please see Wax Comparison Table
Tying It All Together
By keeping the wax protective layer up, (3-4 waxings per year) your boat will always look good and you shouldn’t need any hard yearly compounding to keep it that way. This will save you money right now and add years to the time before the boat will need to be painted.
On the boats that we’ve maintained for several years we usually give it a thorough going over with a very fine compound in the spring just to give it that “bright” look. This removes only a very thin layer of oxidized pigment to give the wax a solid base to adhere to.
Happy Boating!

Smoking and Eye Damage
The chemicals in cigarette smoke (around 4000 of them) get into the bloodstream of smokers and may induce the damage to the eye.
The chemicals in tobacco smoke can cause inflammation of the conjunctiva (the thin membrane covering the eye), resulting in bloodshot, irritated eyes.
In a study of nearly 21,000 U.S. male physicians, spanning an average of 13.6 years, researchers found a direct link between smoking and the development of cataracts. The study, known as Physicians Health Study I, evaluated physicians between the ages of 40 and 84 who had no prior history of cataracts before 1982. Participants were asked to complete questionnaires that included information such as: number of cigarettes smoked daily, age when they started smoking, and their age if they stopped smoking. Each participant received annual eye exams and were required to report the results to the study investigators. The participants’ ophthalmologists and optometrists confirmed the results.
Smoking has also been linked to eye diseases such as age-related macular degeneration. The causes of macular degeneration are not completely understood, but smoking is believed to be the main preventable risk factor. Evidence indicates that more than a quarter of all cases of AMD are linked to current or past exposure to smoking.
Study results appear mixed about a direct association between smoking and diabetic retinopathy, but most experts agree that smoking should be avoided to help help stop progression of the disease.
Smoking causes shrinkage or constriction of blood vessels, shown to be directly linked to rising inner eye pressure (intraocular pressure) that can lead to glaucoma and accompanying optic nerve damage.
Optic neuritis : A landmark study found a strong association between factors such as poor nutrition and smoking linked to a 1992-1993 epidemic of optic nerve damage among Cuban citizens. Although smoking is associated with several eye diseases, including nuclear cataract and thyroid eye disease, the most common cause of smoking related blindness is age related macular degeneration, which results in severe irreversible loss of central vision.
How does smoking damage the eyes?
When you inhale cigarette smoke thousands of chemicals get into your bloodstream and can travel throughout your body. These chemicals cause damage to the macula (the most sensitive part of the retina, at the back of your eye). Tiny blood vessels can burst through the macula, leading to irreversible damage, or alternatively, the cells of the macula slowly die. Both ultimately lead to loss of vision.
Can this damage be reversed?
No. Laser treatment can sometimes kill the new blood vessels before they hit the macula. However, most people are not able to be helped this way because the blood vessel has already involved the very centre of the macula, and even after treatment, the condition recurs in half the cases and in almost all those who continue to smoke. A new treatment, photodynamic therapy (PDT) may be able to help some to reduce the severity of vision loss, but the majority of people with macular degeneration will still not be able to be treated.
If I quit smoking will my eyes recover?
Your risk of macular degeneration will be reduced if you quit smoking, however existing damage to the eyes cannot be repaired, particularly once vision is affected.

Succeeding with E-Lottery
A lottery syndicate can be a safe and simple way to play the lotto without wasting a colleague’s hard-earned cash; one simply takes care to set up plus with the correct lottery contracts in place or perhaps an e-lottery syndicate. Every now and then though it can be sticky when considering the matter of money and can even get folks mad with one another. That is why a 3rd individual who addresses the money is hence a sound idea.
Accordingly, to be the syndicate leader and purchase the tickets for the UK lottery you must live in the UK. This does not mean that you must reside in the United Kingdom to participate in the Uk National Lotto though. All you need to do to set up or join a lottery syndicate and have the lotto tickets bought in the UK. When the lottery draw takes place then all you need to do is tick-off your lottery numbers. Friends, colleagues and fellow workers placing their money jointly to purchase multiple lottery tickets is not a recent conception! There have been various news reports of factory employee’s and friends that have won it big. Amazingly though, yet when they have gained a considerable sum of cash they still return to the workplace as normal.
Well, that’s them, for most of us it appears an
e-lottery syndicate is in all probability the most efficient means of winning the lotto. The idea works on one fundamental rule which is the more lotto tickets your syndicate buys the greater your likelihood is of succeeding. There are nevertheless still those individuals that appear to win with merely one lottery ticket although they are rare, though a couple of people are capable of winning the lotto by buying 1 or 2 lottery tickets on their way home from the office. Nonetheless an increasingly common process for winning requires the use of syndicates. This method gives you with a lot more opportunities to win by purchasing as many lotto tickets as imaginable.
