Celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton are a special case. Hackers target them for nude photos, because their private lives are prized treasure for creeps.

For the rest of us, it’s all about our credit cards and identities. That’s why hackers likely targeted the Home Depot’s payments systems this year, along with Albertson’s, Target, Michaels, Neiman Marcus, P.F. Chang’s and SuperValu.

Think you’re immune? Think again. As CNNMoney reported exclusively, half of American adults were hacked this year.

Here’s what hackers are after — and what

they’re getting.

Credit cards: Every time you swipe a debit card at a store, that transaction is processed on a computer network. That network is connected to the Internet. Hackers break into those computers from far away, infect them with a virus and steal card data.

That’s how Target lost 40 million debit and credit cards last year. The episode has costTarget $146 million so far. Investors got lower returns. The CEO was sacked.

This type of hack has become more common in recent years.

We can fly to the moon, but we can’t secure the Cloud HACKERS, cont’d. from Page 3 for controlled drugs. The FBI estimates that fraud makes up 3% to 10% of the $2.5 trillion the United States spends on health care annually. That adds up to a whopping $75 billion to $250 billion a year. Taxpayers everywhere are footing the bill.

Still not convinced? Use this CNNMoney tool to see what hackers know about you. http://goo.gl/ oiJgO2/ And credit card hacks will keep happening (see related article). Retailers haven’t yet figured out how to guard their Internet-connected payment systems. Plus, we’re swiping cards that are fundamentally insecure. Magnetic stripes use 1950s technology. It’s easy to grab their data, slap it on blank cards and sell them online.

Making matters worse, the United States has yet to join the rest of the world and upgrade to chip-enabled smart cards, which are harder to reproduce.

Everyone is hurting.

Remember: The costs of hacking get passed along to you, the consumer.

Then there’s the annoyance every time a bank reissues your card. It costs banks $3 to $5 each, and you go a week without a card. Those costs get passed onto you as well.

Identities: They’re not just after your money.

Hackers want to impersonate you too.

Why? On the black market, old credit cards only fetch $1 each. Medical records go for $50 a pop.

They’re more valuable, because criminals use your Social Security number to fraudulently bill insurance, Medicare or Medicaid or get prescriptions And scammers can steal your tax refund by filing claims in your name, freezing future tax refunds for years. It’s so widespread, the IRS paid $3.6 billion in fraudulent tax refunds in 2012.

There’s not much you can do to stop them from getting your personal information — it is more accessible than ever. We type our Social Security numbers into online job applications and loan requests.

Medical records, by default, now live on hospital computer servers.

By Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols In light of the news that an alleged hacker cracked the iCloud accounts of celebrities, such as Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton, to reveal their private, intimate photos, there remains a high level of speculation and rumor over exactly what happened.

Since the photos showed up immediately after an Apple “Find My iPhone” exploit was revealed, many are pointing their fingers at Apple’s own security situation.

The security exploit in question “ibrute” was published on GitHub on Saturday. It used a security hole in the Find My iPhone service application programming interface (API). The hole allowed hackers to keep trying one password after another until they found one that worked. Once a password was found, it could then be used to access a user’s iCloud account.

Apple told Recode on Monday it was “actively investigating” if these iCloud accounts had been hacked. The iPhone and iPad maker rarely talks to the press, suggesting it is taking the alleged breach very seriously.

While this was an awful security hole, the exploit relies on ordinary account owners using bad passwords. The automated exploit uses a list of just 500 common passwords.

Indeed, with this hacker tool, you can’t really call these attacks “hacks” at all. All a would-be attacker needed is the email address you use for your Apple ID. If you had a common and easy-to-guess password, your files could have been in an attacker’s hands in less time than it will take you to read this story.

Some experts believe that this is only the beginning of a flood of iCloud security hacks.

So, if you want to keep your intimate photos private, or your company’s industry secrets safe you must start by using something other than “password” or “123456” for your password.

Rather than lecture you yet again on why you should use good passwords, let me suggest that you use easy-to-remember, buthard to crack passwords that use phrases rather than random characters. So, for example, “Steelers?Win!Cowboys?Lose!” or “Volt!Amp!Tesla!Edison?” won’t be cracked by any common password cracker program but you’ll be able to recall such phrases much more easily than say “ufc#1310.”

Safe passwords don’t have to be memory twisters. They just have to be hard for computers to work out, and phrases make great passwords.

If you don’t think you can keep track of phrase passwords, password managers are readily available. Such programs as RoboForm and LastPass make it easy to stay on top of your passwords.

But for the sites and services that really care about keeping data safe, two-factor authentication can be the strongest tool ordinary users have to prevent unauthorized access to their data.

With this method, even if someone has your password to change it they must also have access to a device that should only be in your hands such as a phone. Typically, two-factor authentication systems will send you an e-mail or text message, or call you, requiring you to enter a code before your password can be changed.

Here’s how to turn on two-factor authentication on the most popular personal cloud storage services: Apple iCloud 1. Login to My Apple ID. 2. Pick “Manage your Apple ID and sign in” 3. Select “Password and Security” 4. Under “Two-Step Verification,” select “Get Started,” and follow the instructions.

Note: Be aware that when you change your Apple ID to two-factor authentication, it’s a one-way journey. You can only change your password afterwards by using the two-factor method.

Dropbox 1. Sign in to Dropbox.

2. Click on your name from the upper-right of any page to open your account menu.

3. Click “Settings” from the account menu and select the “Security” tab.

4. Under “Two-step verification” section, click “Enable.”

Click “Get started” and follow the instructions.

Note: You will need to re-enter your password to enable two-factor verification. Once you do, you’ll be given the choice to receive your security code by text or to use a mobile app.

Google Drive 1. Login to Google from this link.

2. Enter your phone number.

3. Enter the code that you’ll get from either a text or a voice phone call.

4. Follow the instructions.

Note: You will need to get a new code for each PC or device that uses any Google services. For some services, such as Gmail when accessed on an Apple device or by a mail client or some instant message clients, you’ll also need to set an application specific password. iCLOUD, cont’d. on Page 25 For advertising information, call (858) 537-2280 • advertising@militarypress.com

Charity supports Purple Heart recipients The Wounded Warriors in Action Foundation (WWIA) is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that was started in 2007 to serve our military heroes that have returned home after being wounded in combat.

Much more than a handshake or ovation at a ball game; WWIA takes these Purple Heart recipients on weekendlong events in small group settings with a senior mentor in order to provide them with world-class hunting and fishing experiences with other Wounded Warriors. This allows them to experience the mental and physical healing powers of the great outdoors.

Additionally, they can reengage in the camaraderie of shared soldier experiences in the military. Doing something new or fulfilling a lifetime goal such as bagging the big fish or getting a nine point buck provides a much-needed confidence boost.

The personal and professional

lives of these Heroes have changed dramatically.

WWIA strives to show these phenomenal Heroes that they can once again live meaningful lives and accomplish many milestones despite their current circumstances. Since most of our Heroes are struggling financially and would not be able to otherwise afford this once-in-a-lifetime healing opportunity, we have found that these opportunities can assist them on their healing journey.

WWIA has had the honor of serving many Wounded Warrior Heroes in 35 different states, Mexico and British Columbia. Because of the generosity of the American public, we have been able to provide and facilitate these events for over seven years. WWIA is also able to make sure the Heroes have the opportunity to interact with the

CFC CHARITY

community, demonstrating that their sacrifices are truly appreciated, and adding a positive dimension to their healing process.

One Hero mentions that the chance to be around other soldiers who shared some of the same experiences truly helped his road to recovery. When he added in the feeling of accomplishment at the end of the hunt and the fact that Americans had not forgotten his sacrifices, he says it was an “awesome life experience.” Another Hero commented that he came to this hunt “depressed about life” but came away “encouraged to live his dreams and strive to always do the right things.”

Finally, a volunteer from a recent

event said of the Heroes in attendance, “The healing process that took place during the event - you could just see the magic. It was unbelievable.”

In campaigns such as CFC, 88% of every dollar donated to WWIA goes directly to supporting the combat wounded Purple Heart recipients in the program. As members of “America’s Best Charities,” donors can be assured that their dollars are going to a deserving organization.

Your support will allow WWIA to continue to provide well-deserved events for Heroes that have made great sacrifices for our nation. Please visit us at wwiaf.org to find out more about our foundation.

New study finds pot addiction on the rise

By David Freeman Huffington Post Marijuana may be gaining acceptance around the nation, but that doesn’t mean medical research has stopped raising questions about its safety.

Case in point: a new study on teens that suggests marijuana dependence may be a bigger problem than many people realize.

For the small-scale study, researchers evaluated 127 teenagers being treated at an outpatient substance use disorder clinic in Boston.

The study showed that of the 90 teens who cited marijuana as the substance they used most frequently, 76 met criteria for cannabis dependence — including increased tolerance of cannabis and unsuccessful efforts to cut back or stop using despite medical or psychological problems exacerbated by cannabis, according to a written statement issued by Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. And 36 of the 90 experienced anxiety, irritability, depression, or other symptoms considered hallmarks of drug dependence.

“Our results are timely given the changing attitudes and perceptions of risk related to cannabis use in the U.S.,” Dr. John Kelly, associate professor of psychiatry in addiction medicine at Harvard Medical School and the study’s senior author, said in the statement. “As more people are able to obtain and consume cannabis legally for medical and, in some states, recreational use, people are less likely to perceive it as addictive or harmful. But research shows that cannabis use can have significant consequences, and we know that among adolescents it is sec-

ond only to alcohol in rates of misuse.”

But “context is necessary” when discussing marijuana dependence, Paul Armentano, deputy director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML), told Yahoo Health. He said that cannabis is far less addictive than either alcohol or tobacco--and that symptoms of marijuana withdrawal tend to be shorter-lived.

And as Dr. Asaf Keller, a professor in the department of anatomy & neurobiology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, told The Huffington Post in an email, the withdrawal symptoms reported by the teens in this study were mild.

“They are nothing like the symptoms associated with ‘heavier’ drugs,” he said. “I am concerned about the use of the generic term, withdrawal, in this context, as it raises unwarranted concern.”

Of course, many are convinced that marijuana can be used to treat a range of maladies, including childhood epilepsy and certain forms of cancer.

But Kelly’s concern was echoed

by Dr. Matthew J. Smith, research assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago and a noted authority on the medical aspects of marijuana.

“The belief that cannabis is not addictive is quite inaccurate as thousands of individuals become addicted to cannabis,” he told The Huffington Post in an email. “I think the message to teens and families is that research suggests that cannabis abuse or dependence (or even recreational use) during adolescence may be detrimental to brain ADDICTION, cont’d. on Page 23

HONOR FLIGHT It’s their turn to be welcomed home

By Heather Siegel The WWII War Memorial in Washington, D.C, is very special to the men and women who survived the conflict.

Open since 2004, the U.S. Park Service runs it. But, what about the vets who can no longer travel or may not be able to afford to visit this place of honor?

“It took the second generation of World War II survivors to build the War Memorial in Washington, D.C.,” said David Smith, who personally charters private airplanes to fly local WWII vets to D.C. “By that time it [the memorial] was built, most surviving vets were too frail or could not afford to take the trip [to see it].”

“Honor Flights are a fairly new undertaking,” said David Smith, who runs the San Diego hub, one of the 130 independent nationwide hubs in the United States. “It is 100% volunteerrun. I started the San Diego Chapter in July 2010, with my father, though the

Bruce Radder is one of the lucky participants for the next San Diego Honor Flights trip, which leaves Lindbergh Field on early Friday, October 3, 2014, and returns late Sunday night,

October 5, 2014. Radder will be on the 14th trip that Honor Flights has sponsored from San Diego, taking WWII Veterans to the Nation’s Capitol. He is a WWII Survivor who served with the Maritime Marine Service, part of the

U.S. Coast Guard.

Radder is looking forward to his all expense-paid trip. “I was asked if I could walk a football field without assistance,” related Radder in a recent interview. Smith does expect his guests

to do a lot of walking from one D.C. war memorial to the next on a full Saturday. But Radder, who is spry, fit, and trim, won’t be alone. Volunteer Guardian Angels will always be with him on the plane and on the ground.

“The fact that I’m going to spend time with fellow vets is most important to me,” said Radder, 89, who entertains his fellow residents with song, dance and humor at his San Marcos, California, mobile home park.

“I don’t feel forgotten, but this trip is a last hurrah. We know in our bones that this is it!” sighed Radder.

Despite logistics, USO Pacific helps troops celebrate birthdays far from home Birthdays aren’t supposed to be stressful. But when you’re separated by the world’s largest ocean and a dozen time zones, nothing is easy.

Luckily, families with loved ones serving in the Pacific don’t have to figure out the closest bakery to base, or if that bakery can translate their message or even deliver the cake. All they have to do is contact USO Pacific and ask about Operation Birthday Cake.

“USO Pacific’s Operation Birthday Cake is an amazing signature program that connects loved ones around the world,” said Carly Harris, USO Pacific regional vice president. So far, the pro-

gram has delivered over 1,000 surprise birthday cakes to troops serving in the Pacific.

For many stateside families, an OBC surprise is the easiest way they can send warm wishes and celebrate their deployed loved one’s special day. “[The service member’s family is] just happy that we could reach out and do something special for their loved one on a day when sometimes they can’t even call because of the time difference, technology, or whatever the issue may be,” said USO Camp Casey Manager Katie Kerr.

Operation Family Caregiver invites caregivers to attend a free educational conference being held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 3 at the Pacific Views Event Center, 202850 San Jacinto Road, Camp Pendleton. Lunch provided.

Understanding a traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress can be very confusing. Recognizing the profound impact it has on families can leave caregivers feeling overwhelmed.

Servicemembers need to take an active role in getting their medical and dental records to the Department of Veterans Affairs at retirement or separation. Before a Sailor separates or retires, commanding officers (CO) and officers in charge (OIC) are responsible for ensuring that the Service Treatment Records (STR), medical and dental records, are at the appropriate medical

Experts in the field of TBI and PTSD will help you find ways to cope. You’ll gain insight into managing behaviors, improving communication and taking care of the family caregiver. Hear firsthand from caregivers who have gone through the Operation Family Caregiver program. Course meets the qualifications for four hours of continuing education credit for MFTs, LCSWs.

New ‘in-state tuition’ rule for GI Bill Currently Post-9/11 benefits cover all in-state tuition and fees at public colleges and universities. But an estimated 3800 veterans annually face substantial out-of-pocket costs because they elect to attend state-run colleges as non-residents.

That will soon change with a new

law that will require schools to charge veterans using the GI Bill to receive instate tuition rates. However, the first thing veterans using GI Bill education benefits should understand about new “in-state tuition” protection is that it won’t take effect until the fall semester of 2015.

Airman denied reenlistment over refusal to say ‘so help me God’

By Abby Ohlheiser The Washington Post An airman stationed at Creech Air Force Base in Indian Springs, Nev., was STORAGE denied reenlistment because he omitted the part of a required oath that states “so help me God,” according to a letter from the American Humanist Association. The letter was sent on Tuesday to the Air Force’s Office of the Inspector General on behalf of an unnamed airman.

The AHA said it is prepared to sue for what the organization says is a violation of the Establishment Clause in the U.S. Constitution, unless the Air Force permits its members to enlist without the religious portion of the oath. The letter says that the airman “was told that his options were to say, ‘so help me God’ or to leave the Air Force.”

Inquiries into the oath uncovered a change to Air Force rules last year that previously went unnoticed, as the Air Force Times noted. Until October 2013, Air Force Instruction 36-2606 (which governs the enlistment oath) included a short note: “Airmen may omit the words ‘so help me God,’ if desired for personal reasons.” That was removed in an amendment to the rule, effective Oct. 30, 2013, according to the Air Force Times.

Maximizing your VA home loan options What is not widely known is that many people who have used the VA loan program to buy a home may have partial VA loan entitlement remaining — even if you still have a VA loan on the first home.

Accordingly, it is possible to have more than one VA loan at a time.

This remaining entitlement, sometimes called Second-Tier entitlement, presents itself in two situations.

First, if you did not borrow the full amount you were entitled to when you first obtained your VA loan, you may apply the balance of your entitlement when buying your next home (subject to minimum loan amounts).

Second, what if you borrowed the VA loan maximum allowed in most counties, currently $417,000, for your first home, but now you are looking to buy a home in an area that has a higher county limit? The difference between the first VA loan county limit and the second – higher- VA county limit is the remaining entitlement that

can be applied towards your second VA home loan.

In both cases, you have potentially lowered the down payment required under a conventional loan without having to pay mortgage insurance.

Finally, if you have paid off your VA loan but still own the home you purchased with your VA entitlement, you may request to have your entitlement restored, allowing you to obtain a second VA loan, without having to sell the first home.

For more information seek out a knowledgeable VA mortgage lender, or call a VA mortgage loan specialist for more information.

CHARGERS REPORT

By Art Garcia It was no secret the number one priority for the Chargers following the 2013 season was improving the secondary – primarily the cornerback position. And when the Kansas City Chiefs released Pro Bowl cornerback Brandon Flowers on June 13, GM Tom Telesco wasted little time bringing him in and signing him to a contract on June 25.

What the Chargers get in Flowers is a six-year veteran who has flourished in the AFC West as a true cover corner having mainly played in a man-coverage defensive scheme for the Chiefs. Entering his seventh season in the NFL, Flowers has started 87-88 games and his career stats include 338 tackles (83 assists); 17 interceptions; three touchdowns; 97 pass defended; four forced fumbles and five fumbles recovered. Prior to their season opener against the Cardinals, Flowers answered a few questions from MP reporter Art Garcia Jr. AG: Coming off your first-ever Pro Bowl appearance, tell me about this secondary here in San Diego?

BF: We have the personnel to be a special secondary (because) we have playmakers all over the field, but we

Flowers’ experience vital to secondary’s success

have to show up and make it work. I think we’ve been gelling in camp and now we just have to put in the work to get better and better every day.

AG: As a veteran of six NFL seasons, what do you bring to this young secondary?

BF: I bring leadership. I bring experience – so I try to help the younger guys with what we are going to be facing this year; what I’ve been through; where we don’t want to go; where we do want to go.

It’s just leadership and trying to bring some play-making ability here.

AG: Former Charger Gil Byrd once told me that to be an effective cornerback you have to learn to study film, that there is an art to it rather than just watching game film. How long did it take you to learn how to properly study film?

BF: I was fortunate enough to have a great college coach named Torrian Gray who taught me how to break down film, study route concepts

and how offenses are trying to attack you so when I got to the league it really wasn’t hard at all to do it on my own.

I was just fortunate to have a college coach who installed it in me when I was young.

AG: So you pass this knowledge on to the rest of the defensive backs?

BF: Definitely, definitely – break down the film, show them what to look for and try to get an extra step on someone in the game.

AG: What has the transition been like having come from Kansas City’s defensive scheme to playing in John Pagano’s defensive scheme?

BF: There’s a lot more mixture over here. We ran nothing but man-to-man in Kansas City – and that was it. We mix it up here – a little zone, a little man here … So it’s a little bit different (but) pretty much what we ran in college for my sake. So it’s not a tough transition at all for me.

AG: You said earlier that you bring leadership to this defense, are you the more vocal type or do you lead by example?

BF: Example, vocal at times. I’m not one of those guys who have to be vocal all the time when I’m out there but when I feel I need to be vocal I am.

AG: Tell me your thoughts on the two young cornerbacks Jason Verrett and Steve Williams?

BF: Oh man, those guys can play. I just want to see them get better and better and become great corners in this league. They have a lot ahead of them and I hope they fulfill everything (they’re capable of) with their God-given talent.

AG: When you guys hear that the secondary is the weak link of the team does it give any added incentive to shut people up?

BF: Oh we don’t really listen to all that, we still haven’t played a down yet so we have a chance to prove everybody

wrong Monday night if we go out there and play well. So we just ground with each other and around the locker room and don’t really worry about what is said.

AG: Speaking of Monday Night Football, do you still get that anxiousness about playing in prime time as you enter your seventh year in the NFL? BF: Definitely, I love this game. It’s a great adrenalin rush because it’s Monday night everybody is watching.

Arizona has talent on the offensive side of the ball; we have talent on the defensive side so it’s going to be a great game.

The Endzone

Although they gave up some 304 yards passing to Carson Palmer in their 18-17 loss to Arizona Monday night, there were some positive signs on the defensive side of the ball. Flowers ended the night with 7 tackles (6 solo); Verrett had 4 tackles (3 solo), one pass defended; second-round pick Jerry Attauchu garnered 4 tackles (4 solo), 1 sack, 1 forced fumble, 1 blocked punt; Corey Liuget had 5 tackles (4 solo), 1 sack and Manti Te’o produced 6 tackles (6 solo). The problem is they couldn’t make a stop when they had to. Both Melvin Ingram and Dwight Freeney applied great quarterback pressure during the game both neither of them could close the deal. If the Chargers have any chance of beating the Super Bowl Champion Seattle Seahawks this Sunday, they must capitalize on every opportunity. The key this week is to stop running back Marshawn Lynch, prevent receiver Percy Harvin from converting big plays and force quarterback Russell Wilson to beat you with his arm and not his legs. If the Chargers can eliminate their own mistakes and keep Lynch, Harvin and Wilson in check, they have a good shot at a victory.

“Don’t be in a rush to put the lantern down. I think there’s yet another wee one to come.” Sure enough, within minutes he had delivered another baby.

“Now don’t be in a great hurry to be putting down that lantern, young man.

It seems there’s yet another!” cried the doctor.

A woman went down to the Welfare Office to get aid. The office worker asked her, “How many children do you have?”

“Ten,” she replied.

“What are their names?” he asked.

“David, David, David, David, David, David, David, David, David and David,” she answered.

“They’re all named David?” he asked “What if you want them to come in from playing outside?”

“Oh, that’s easy,” she said. “I just call ‘David,’ and they all come running in.”

“And, if you want them to come to the table for dinner?”

“I just say, ‘David, come eat your dinner’,” she answered.

“But what if you just want ONE of them to do something?” he asked.

“Oh, that’s easy,” she said. “I just use their last name!”

The farmer’s daughter

There once was a farmer who was raising 3 daughters on his own. He was very concerned about their well being and always did his best to watch out for them. As they entered their late teens the girls dated, and on this particular evening all three of his girls were going out on a date. This was the first time this had occurred. As was his custom, he would greet the young suitor at the door holding his shotgun, not to menace or threaten but merely to ensure that the young man knew who was boss.

The doorbell rang and the first of the boys arrived. Father answered the door and the lad said, “Hi, my name’s Joe, I’m here for Flo. We’re going to the show, is she ready to go?” The father looked him over and sent the kids on their way.

The next lad arrived and said, “My name’s Eddie, I’m here for Betty, we’re gonna get some spaghetti, is she ready?” Father felt this one was okay too, so off the two kids went.

The final young man arrived and the farmer opened the door. The boy started off, “Hi, my name’s Chuck… --” and the farmer shot him.

Dead again

During a funeral, the pallbearers accidentally bump into a wall and hear a faint moan. They open the casket and find out that the woman is actually alive.

She lives for 10 more years and then dies. There is another funeral for her.

At the end of the service, the pallbearers carry out the casket.

As they are walking out, the husband cries out, “Watch out for the wall!”

This week’s solutions:

www.MilitaryPress.com • editorsdesk@militarypress.com

A country founded by geniuses but run by idiots If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without a license, but not for entering and remaining in the country illegally — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If you have to get your parents’ permission to go on a field trip or to take an aspirin in school, but not to get an abortion — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If you MUST show your identification to board an airplane, cash a check, buy liquor, or check out a library book and rent a video, but not to vote for who runs the government — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If the government wants to prevent stable, law-abiding citizens from owning gun magazines that hold more than ten rounds, but gives twenty F-16 fighter jets to the crazy new leaders in Egypt — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If, in the nation’s largest city, you can buy two 16-ounce sodas, but not one 24-ounce soda, because 24-ounces of a sugary drink might make you fat — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If an 80-year-old woman or a threeyear-old girl who is confined to a wheelchair can be strip-searched by the TSA at the airport, but a woman in a burka or a hijab is only subject to having her neck and head searched — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If your government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars

of debt is to spend trillions more — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If a seven-year-old boy can be thrown out of school for saying his teacher is “cute,” but hosting a sexual exploration or diversity class in grade school is perfectly acceptable — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If hard work and success are met with higher taxes and more government regulation and intrusion, while not working is rewarded with Food Stamps, WIC checks, Medicaid benefits, subsidized housing, and free cell phones — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If the government’s plan for getting people back to work is to provide incentives for not working, by granting 99 weeks of unemployment checks, without any requirement to prove that gainful employment was diligently sought, but couldn’t be found — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If you pay your mortgage faithfully, denying yourself the newest big-screen TV, while your neighbor buys iPhones, time shares, a wall-sized do-it-all plasma screen TV and new cars, and the government forgives his debt when he defaults on his mortgage — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If being stripped of your Constitutional right to defend yourself makes you more “safe” according to the government — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

“Every community should have its own memorial,” said Daryl McFarland, a local builder and member of The Hi-Noon Rotary Club of Vista, California, which plans to build a huge veteran memorial wall on city property, opening on Memorial Day, 2015. The

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, about 9 percent of all marijuana users become “addicted.” The percentage rises to about 17 percent in those who start using marijuana at an early age, according to the institute, and reaches up to 50 percent for people who use marijuana on a daily basis.

WINNERS CIRCLE! Congratulations to Marine Boone Schrader, winner of the Military Press Handbag Sweepstakes.

Pictured here are Boone, his wife Jessica and their daughter. The Schraders won an exquisite Robert Matthew handbag. Treat yourself to one at http://robertmatthewfashion. com/.

What’s next for America’s continuing conversation about marijuana?

Kelly called for additional research to assess the public’s changing attitudes toward marijuana and to reduce misconceptions about it, saying in the statement that the research could help “predict whether increased education and awareness could help reduce the onset of, and harm caused by, cannabis use disorders.”

The study was published online by the Journal of Addiction Medicine.

Cont’d. from Page 4 That’s why it’s so alarming that 90% of hospitals and clinics lose their patients’ data to data breaches and hackers stole data on 4.5 million patients when they broke into a hospital network this year.

Identity theft can be much worse than credit card fraud. Your credit history can be ruined. Good luck buying a house. Someone can rack up a criminal record in your name. Cleaning that up is a mess.

What you can do: We’ve moved our entire lives online, yet most of us refuse to take the proper precautions.

Retailers, hospitals, government agencies, teenagers, adults — we’re all guilty. We stupidly reuse the same, short password. We answer easy-toguess security questions honestly.

So here’s what to do: Avoid using your debit card — ever. If it’s compromised, criminals can empty your checking account. Use cash instead.

Or use your credit card, because then you’re not liable for fraud.

Change your passwords frequently, and use better ones. Password123 is easy to remember but easy to crack.

Something like H&uy91oP is hard to remember but still easy to crack. Use a long, wacky passphrase like, My52ndDinosaurHouseIsOnFiiire!.

But you’re probably not going to do anything after reading this. And that’s why you’ll keep getting hacked.
