| Identity Theft
Nine little numbers can control your credit, your employment status and your financial good name. Personal identifying information, including Social Security numbers, leave a trail marking where we have worked, how much money we have spent and where we have spent it. In the age of thumb drives, CDs and the Internet, breaches of personal information are more prevalent than ever before. In 2006, tracking company PrivacyRights.org reported 327 data breach incidents. So far in 2007, the company reports 292 instances, including the 16,000 names and Social Security numbers lost from the University of Nevada, Reno. Although the company updates their list twice a week, they had not yet reported the 470 CDs lost by Nevada state agencies. In incidents ranging from TJ Max dumping records into a back-lot dumpster to laptops being stolen from businesses, the company reports that more than 215 million personal records have been breeched since 2005.

Service innovation crucial for TV service operators
The report also highlighted a "lack of transparency" over who is responsible for the services. Ofcom non-executive member Richard Ayre said broadcasters "appeared to be in denial" about their responsibilities and that money was the main driver for the growth of phone-ins. The inquiry follows scandals over phone-ins on shows including the BBC's Blue Peter and Channel 4's Richard & Judy. It recommends that broadcasters' licences be changed so they are required to have an independent audit of phone-in votes. It also suggests introducing licence changes to radio broadcasters. Ofcom said that it is "minded" to accept the recommendations. Ayre said: "Phoning a TV show isn't like ordering pizza. When you put the phone down nothing arrives: you just have to trust that your call was counted.
GOP debaters beckon Hispanics
CORAL GABLES, Fla. - Republican presidential candidates tempered their tough talk on illegal immigration and praised the Hispanic community's family values as they sought to stem the exodus of Hispanic voters from their party during the first debate of the GOP campaign to be broadcast in Spanish. Much of last night's debate focused on immigration, as the candidates grappled with unusually pointed questions, such as what to do with the 12 million illegal immigrants in the United States, what to do with children who are born here to illegal immigrants, and how to defuse what a moderator called the party's "anti-Hispanic sentiment." Many of the candidates said Hispanics are like many Americans in supporting a stronger military, family values, and pro-business policies.

Carer engineered £400,000 burglary from elderly couple
IT was the ultimate betrayal. When Jewell Ryan moved into an elderly couple's Hampshire home to become a live-in carer she was meant to make their lives easier. But just nine months later she faked a massive burglary and arranged for the theft of 200 highly valuable items from her employers. The haul was estimated to be worth up to £400,000. The 59-year-old used a glossy brochure produced by Winchester auctioneers Bonhams to select the most valuable items from Leeland House in the High Street, Twyford. She even stole treasured personal possessions by rifling though drawers in the room where the elderly woman she was meant to be caring for was lying in bed suffering from dementia. .
