| Protecting your identity is a smart thing to do
D ecember is Identity Theft Prevention and Awareness Month. According to the February 2007 Identity Fraud Survey Report issued by Javelin Strategy & Research, identity theft affected approximately 8.4 million people. The estimated loss to business and individual victims was $43.9 billion. Often, ID theft victims don't even realize their identity was stolen. They may find out when a creditor or collection agency calls or a credit card is declined. To help consumers protect their identity, a number of credit monitoring and insurance protection programs are available. But, are these products right for you? Most experts recommend that you obtain a copy of your credit report at least once a year from each of the three major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion) to ensure accuracy and to look for signs of ID theft.
Congress looking to tighten base security after Fort Dix threat
Instead of requiring federal background checks, the latest compromise version of the bill calls for the Defense Department to come up with standards for screening visitors by July 1. The measures would have to be in place by Jan. 1, 2009. Not everyone would have to be equally screened. Under the bill, Defense employees and family members of employees who live on-base could get quicker access, while people deemed high-risk could get closer scrutiny. .
ABAG goals would 'wreak havoc' on PA schools
ABAG is smart enough to know this; saying their goal will "wreak havoc" on PA Schools is simply an erroneous scare tactic. The City should find a better excuse than schools to refute ABAG's demand for @,860 new housing units.

Dustin searching for signature role
The two-time Oscar winner explores his childish side in his latest film, Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium, where he plays eccentric toy store owner Mr Magorium. "Some actors like to play signature roles - I have yet to find a signature role. "So in a sense, my signature role is trying to find something I haven't done before," he says. "However, I had not done a character like this one before." And he says that he was enchanted by the surreal quality of the plot. "What we think is not real exists in Magorium's toy store, the emporium," Dustin continues. "It's about what kids think and believe in, or want to believe in. "In other words, they open a book of toys and see a real fire engine. Not just a pop-up one but a real one.

IV. The Forensic Evidence
The secrecy under which the Iraqi military and police conducted burials in Iraq means it will be impossible for investigators to locate all the graves. When graves are located, it will be difficult in many instances to determine the identity of the victims because Iraqi military and police abducted people in one part of the country and often transferred them to other areas, sometimes up to hundreds of kilometers away, for interrogation and execution. The passage of time and burial conditions have also caused remains to deteriorate and, in some cases, to disintegrate. This situation is further compounded by the fact that documents belonging to the police and security forces were destroyed during the war and subsequent looting (see above). Some of these documents may have contained valuable information about the circumstances surrounding mass burial sites.
