Bill Belichick being interviewed by Armen Keteyian. Excellent interview. I’m so glad Coach Belichick is who he is. He’s not a Saint Dungy or a holy than thou Bill Parcells. He is who he is and to me that’s perfect. Thank you Bill for being a real Coach and you don’t have to be best friends with the media.

The Internet is a powerful tool that has revolutionized virtually every aspect of our lives, including how we socialize. Today, there are an estimated 200 online social networking sites, the most popular being MySpace and Facebook. But while it can be fun and convenient to keep up with old friends and make new ones online, sharing too much personal information on these sites can be risky. This is especially true for young people, who may not realize that the information they post online could end up in the hands of harassers, cyberbullies, scam artists, child predators and other unscrupulous people.

November 26, 2007
A 19 year old Swedish teenager also known as the “Uppsala Hacker” was today convicted on seven counts for hacking into 3 Swedish Universities … Linköping University, Umea University and Uppsala University as well as the Swedish National Supercomputer Center in Linkoping. In a separate instance, the FBI is requesting Swedish authorities to press charges against him for hacking into Cisco Systems and stealing source code.
About three years ago, Swedish Universities were under a wave of intrusions. Around the same time in May 2004, Cisco servers were breached and source code was posted online. The FBI suspects it is the same hacker. A Swedish investigation resulted in the arrest of the then 16 year old “Uppsala Hacker”. The intrusions stopped after his arrest.
The hacker has since admitted to being the author of the tools that were using for the hacking attempts. However, he claims that other people had access to the tools and that he is not responsible for the crimes.
