| Unsecured Internet purchases could prove disastrous
Students who regularly make online purchases from campus computers or from the university's wireless network might want to take some precautionary steps before punching in their credit card numbers. “If [students] are using the encrypted wireless [network], I think that's fine," said James Shook of Technology Support Services. “[But] I don't think I'd be doing that on the visitor's [network], which anyone can get on."Students can obtain a password for the secured wireless network at www.nss.appstate.edu.

Widow, brothers battle over Philly native's $25M estate
JUPITER, Fla. - A life of private jets and black-tie balls ended with Seth Tobias, a wealthy investment manager and a familiar presence on CNBC, floating face down in the swimming pool of his mansion here. It was just after midnight on Sept. 4 when Tobias' wife, Filomena, frantically called 911. "Please send somebody, please!" Tobias screamed. "He's not breathing!" By the time the police arrived, she had pulled her husband's body to the edge of the pool, where she cradled his head in her arms, sobbing. Seth Tobias, a native of Philadelphia, 44, had apparently suffered a heart attack, his brother Spence said at the time. The police did not consider his death suspicious. But now an unfolding drama over Tobias' estate is providing a lurid account of fast money and faster living in the volatile world of hedge funds.

Super Tuesday Snapshots: Obama’s Jewish Neighbors, Peace at the ...
Lieberman, in turn, offered to let them use the synagogue's restrooms. The bathroom-sharing deal led to unexpected hi-jinks: At the outset of Obama's presidential campaign, Secret Service agents would sometimes attempt to use KAM's bathrooms at night, only to trip the synagogue's alarm. “But they've gotten the knack of it," Lieberman said. She added that the agents have been “extremely nice," even doing programs with the synagogue's nursery school students. According to Grace Wolf, a Hyde Park resident who is married to the rabbi emeritus of KAM, Obama is backed by a solid swath of the congregation's members. “We had been to his fundraisers and met him" when he was an Illinois state senator, said Wolf, who supported Obama in the Illinois primary.
Rudd warns of economic trials
PRIME Minister Kevin Rudd today issued a renewed warning about the economic challenges facing Australia amid concerns about the health of the US and Asian economies. Listing the possible dangers ahead, he accused the former Howard government of leaving Australia with a legacy of inflation that was making conditions more difficult.
