....that:

"...how easy would it be for a thief to guess your four-digit PIN? If he were forced to guess randomly, his odds of getting the correct number would be one in 10,000—or, if he has three tries, one in 3,333. But if you were careless enough to choose your birth date, a year in the 1900s, or an obvious numerical sequence, his chances go up. Way up.

Researchers at the data analysis firm Data Genetics have found that the three most popular combinations—"1234," "1111," and "0000"—account for close to 20 percent of all four-digit passwords. Meanwhile, every four-digit combination that starts with "19" ranks above the 80th percentile in popularity, with those in the late—er, upper—1900s coming in the highest. Also quite common are MM/DD combinations—those in which the first two digits are between "01" and "12" and the last two are between "01" and "31." So choosing your birthday, your birth year, or a number that might be a lot of other people's birthday or birth year makes your password significantly easier to guess.

On the other end of the scale, the least popular combination—8068—appears less than 0.001 percent of the time. (Although, as Data Genetics acknowledges, you probably shouldn't go out and choose "8068" now that this is public information.) Rounding out the bottom five are "8093," "9629," "6835," and "7637," which all nearly as rare.

Data Genetics came up with the numbers by analyzing a database of 3.4 million stolen passwords that have been made public over the years. Most of these are passwords for websites. But by looking specifically at those that comprise exactly four characters, all of which are numerals, the researchers figured they could get a decent proxy for ATM PINs as well.

One would hope, of course, that fewer people choose "1234" to protect their checking accounts than to log in to random websites. But Data Genetics found some circumstantial evidence to support its hypothesis that there are some strong correlations between the two. For instance, the combination "2580" was the 22nd-most popular in their data set. Why so high? Probably because those four numbers appear in a single column from top to bottom on a phone or ATM keypad. On most computer keyboards, they do not.

Some other interesting anedcotes from the data:

Half of all passwords are among the 426 most popular (out of 10,000 total).

People prefer even numbers to odd, so "2468" ranks higher than "1357."
Far more passwords start with "1" than any other number. In a distant second and third are "0" and "2."
Among seven-digit passwords, the fourth-most popular is "8675309," which should ring familiar to fans of '80s music.

The 17th-most popular 10-digit password is "3141592654."

Two-digit sequences with large numerical gaps, such as "29" and "37," are found often among the least popular passwords.
For those who get a kick out of these sorts of things, Data Genetics' blog post is worth perusing in full. Just keep in mind that guessing isn't the only way thieves can swipe your PIN or password. So "8068" alone—or whatever the equivalent is now that people know about "8068"—won't protect you from ATM skimmers or hackers who breach the databases of sites that don't encrypt users' passwords."


You better hurry up before 8068 becomes more popular.  Fortunately, I use numbers I have made up in my mind, like λ~σ>.

"But goofball Warph," you say, "if you made them up in your mind, they won't be reflected on the keypads at an ATM."

Thought of that, smart aleck.  I translate my numbers into what I call quotidian digits.  I then reverse them, add them all up, then take that single number, multiply it by 757, lop off the last digit of that figure, and voilá!  I  have my ATM pin number.

Which is 1234.  Can't figure out how that happens for the life of me... Warph

....that legendary CIA operative, Edwin P. Wilson, who had lived the high life as a spy and was wrongly branded a traitor for selling weapons to Libya dies at the age of 84.

                   
          Traitor: Ex-CIA agent Edwin Wilson (center, leaving federal court on Jan. 22, 1983) was branded a traitor
           and convicted of shipping arms to Libya but the conviction was later overturned

...Wilson worked under non-official cover for the CIA

...The U.S. Government claimed he enjoyed a jet-setting lifestyle and profited from selling weapons to Libya, all off tax payer money

...He was convicted of shipping arms to Libya in 1983 and served 22 years in prison before his conviction was overturned
Wilson was released from prison in 2004

...The disgraced agent died in Seattle on September 10 from complications from a heart valve replacement surgery


Wilson, A sophisticated spy who was accused of living the high life off the U.S. Government's dime with a bevy of mistresses, luxurious real estate holdings and a high profile social life has died at the age of 84.

Wilson spent his career at the agency setting up front companies abroad for the CIA and posing as a rich American businessman - which allowed him to socialize among the glitterati in addition to amassing real estate holdings across the U.S. and Europe in addition to a villa in Tripoli, Libya and houses in Lebanon and Mexico.

The intelligence officer, who was married, flaunted his jet setting lifestyle and even entertained a mistress, who he dubbed his 'Wonder Woman,' gifting her with posh cadeaux like mink coats and fine jewelry.

His lifestyle came under scrutiny but he allegedly was able to stave off inquiries from the IRS by couching his earnings as a matter of national security

But the good life came to an end when he was convicted in 1983 for shipping 20 tons of C-4 plastic explosives to Libya in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and for other crimes, including attempted murder and criminal solicitation.

At trial, he said he did it to ingratiate himself with the Libyan government at the CIA's request.
Wilson was sentenced to 52 years in prison for the crimes.

A federal judge threw out his conviction in 2003, saying the government failed to correct information about Wilson's service to the CIA that it admitted internally was false.

He served 22 years in prison until he was released in 2004. He then moved to Edmonds, Washington, north of Seattle, to live with his brother.

While in prison, he sought to prove his innocence by using the Freedom of Information Act to request government documents.
Even after he was released, the man once described as a 'death merchant' and 'terrorist' worked to clear his name.
'I can't think of one thing I did that I have any guilt about,' Wilson told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer in a 2006 interview.

'I didn't hurt anybody. I didn't get anyone killed.'

Wilson filed a civil lawsuit against seven former federal prosecutors and a former executive director of the CIA, but a judge in Houston dismissed the case in 2007.

Wilson was born May 3, 1928, to a farming family in Nampa, Idaho. He worked as a merchant seaman, and earned a psychology degree from the University of Portland in 1953.

He joined the Marines and fought in the last days of the Korean War, according to his death notice. He went to work for the Central Intelligence Agency in 1955 after being discharged from the Marines.

After leaving the CIA in 1971, he made millions in the arms trade and bought a sprawling farm in a tony county of Northern Virginia, where he entertained generals, CIA officials and congressmen, according to a 2004 Washington Post article.

'I had a couple of villas that were very, very nice,' he told the Washington Post at the time. 'I had Pakistani houseboys and I had Libyans working for me, typing up proposals in Arabic.'

In 1982, he was lured out of hiding in Libya and brought to New York for arrest. A federal court in Virginia convicted him of exporting firearms to Libya without permission and sentenced him to 10 years.

He was convicted in Texas in 1983, receiving a 17-year sentence for similar crimes. A New York court sentenced him to 25 years, to run consecutively with the Texas and Virginia sentences, for attempted murder, criminal solicitation and other charges involving claims that Wilson conspired behind bars to have witnesses and prosecutors killed.

.....that, maybe, just maybe, the body of now-legendary Teamsters leader Jimmy Hoffa, whose final resting place has long been a mystery, may finally have been found... in a Detroit driveway.

"Hoffa was last seen on July 30, 1975, outside a suburban Detroit restaurant where he was supposed to meet with a New Jersey Teamsters boss and a Detroit Mafia captain. His body has not been found despite a number of searches over the years."

http://www.wrcbtv.com/story/19650276/police-checking-out-hoffa-tip-in-detroit-suburb

"Innumerable theories about the demise of the union boss have surfaced over time. Among them: He was entombed in concrete at Giants Stadium in New Jersey, ground up and thrown in a Florida swamp or obliterated in a mob-owned fat-rendering plant. The search has continued under a backyard pool north of Detroit in 2003, under the floor of a Detroit home in 2004 and at a horse farm northwest of Detroit in 2006."

Note to self: Never meet with a Detroit Mafia "captain."  Stick with commissioned AF officers.

Oh, and stay out of Detroit:

"Hi ho.. hi ho... it's off to work we go.  Stinking up the earth we know, hi ho...

hi ho... hi ho hi ho!"

...that the Roman Empire and China's Han Dynasty are responsible for global warming.  

MSNBC and Al Gore investigating and Obuma WH plans to sue.  Just kidding.  Those clowns in the media and WH wouldn't know the difference between a hot street walker and global warming... especially Gore.

It seems like every time you click a link, someone or something new is being blamed for what's supposed to be my fault.  (And yes, I take everything extremely personally.  Don't think I've forgotten that snub wednesday night at the debate... not one mention of my letter to the WH).

Now it turns out that the industrious (read: evil) Romans and Chinese were emitting noxious methane gases into the atmosphere long before anyone had been subjected to Earth Day!

"Centuries before the Industrial Revolution or the recognition of global warming, the ancient Roman and Chinese empires were already producing powerful greenhouse gases through their daily toil, according to a new study.
http://www.latimes.com/news/science/la-sci-humans-climate-change-20121004,0,2962982.story

"The burning of plant matter to cook food, clear cropland and process metals released millions of tons of methane gas into the atmosphere each year during several periods of pre-industrial history, according to the study, published Thursday in the journal Nature.  

"Although the quantity of methane produced back then pales in comparison with the emissions released today-- the total amount is roughly 70 times greater now-- the findings suggest that man's footprint on the climate is larger than previously realized. Until now, it was assumed by scientists that human activity began increasing greenhouse gas levels only after the year 1750."

"The quantities are much smaller, because there were fewer people on Earth," said study leader Celia Sapart, an atmospheric chemist at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. "But the amount of methane emitted per person was significant."

Did you read that?  Significant.  As is not insignificant.

Well, don't think Rome and Beijing won't hear about this.  If only they had remained sleepy do-nothings like those tree-kissing Phoenicians, and had the decency to disappear from the face of the earth altogether, we wouldn't be in half the mess we're in.  But noooooo.  They had to live on to make sports cars no one can afford and those damn iPads no one really needs.

Let's be frank: when all is said and done, and when all the latest new data is collated, the problem is always going to be people. Global warming is people.

So what are we going to do about them?

....that Michelle Dresbold knows more about the presidential candidates than most people.

A handwriting expert... she was among 19 Americans to be accepted into the U.S. Secret Service Advanced Document Training Program.... Dresbold has helped resolve some of America's highest-profile crimes, as told in her book "Sex, Lies, and Handwriting" (michelledresbold.com).



Handwriting expert provides candidates' signature moment

http://www.dailyworld.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2012209190304


I asked her to analyze the signatures of President Obama and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney.

                 

                               

"Obama's overly large signature shows he likes attention and is a bit of an egotist, which is common among public figures," she said. "He does something unusual with the 'O' and 'b' in his last name."

"Whether Obama does it consciously or subconsciously, by intersecting his 'O' and his 'b,' he forms the Greek letter 'phi.'"

"Since ancient times, this symbol has represented the golden ratio, the ideal proportion. Obama is determined that things be balanced."

With the exception of the federal budget.

Dresbold shared another interesting observation: The style Obama uses for his signature is entirely different from his other handwriting.

"Whereas the rest of his handwriting is simple and direct, his signature is very flowery and hard to read. His signature reveals him to be a showman in public, but also shows him to be someone who conceals what he is really thinking."

Obama may be good at concealing what he is really thinking, but not nearly as good at that as his pals in the media are.

"Obama's regular handwriting also shows him to be very strategic and pragmatic — a tough cookie. He rules his life by what he thinks and believes, not by emotion."

Which is interesting. Many people think Romney is more pragmatic and aloof than Obama, but Romney's handwriting shows that he is driven by his feelings and desires.

"Romney's signature leans heavily to the right. This reveals a person who is more emotional and works more out of passion and from the heart."

Though Romney is also very analytical.

"His 'M' is very pointed and angular. This suggests he is very analytical and likes to investigate and analyze to know the answers. Angular people can be very tough, too."

And he's goal-oriented.

"His 't's' are flying off the stems. This shows that he is always looking for that high, unattainable goal."

Such as not only becoming president of the United States but fixing the mess we are in?

"In his signature, he makes a cross between his 't' and his 'R.' This means religion and the meaning of life are very important to him. His squashed 'e' suggests he doesn't always listen to others."

That is interesting. Romney is perceived to be a good listener, but his handwriting suggests he is not. Dresbold told me Obama's handwriting suggests he is a good listener, but his policies, which remain left of center despite the 2010 elections, show that he is not.

Like Obama's signature, Romney's shows he likes to conceal what he is thinking.

"The way his 'e' and 'y' run together shows that he likes to skip over things and be ambiguous. He likes to give himself some wiggle room, so he doesn't make things as clear as they could be."

Such as his plan to rein in runaway spending, fix the deficit and grow the economy in a manner that placates both the left and right in our highly divided country?

I'm not running for president and even I am wise enough to keep such thoughts to myself.

Unlike Obama, whose handwriting shows that he excels at language and communication, Romney's handwriting shows he is much better at math.

Though that doesn't appear to be a skill used much in Washington anymore.

In any event, the handwriting of both fellows reveals them to be interesting, intelligent people. Maybe handwriting analysis isn't the best way to judge a candidate.

But it reveals one thing worth noting: Of the two candidates, Romney is more hopeful than Obama.

"Before Obama was president, his handwriting traveled sharply uphill," says Dresbold. "This means he was upbeat and optimistic. Now, however, his signature has flattened. His optimism is not so great as it once was."

....that the melody for the Star Spangled Banner was taken from a song in homage to drinking.

The melody that would be borrowed for the Star Spangled Banner was extremely popular and well known at the time the future U.S. national anthem was penned.  Around the time the Star Spangled Banner's lyrics were written, this melody was being used for at least 84 popular songs in the United States alone, including Adams and Liberty – The Boston Patriotic Song and the subsequent tune Jefferson and Liberty, written after Jefferson was elected President.

The original song that used the melody was To Anacreon in Heaven, written sometime between 1760 and the late 1770s, expounding on the virtues of wine.  The song itself was first publicly published in The Vocal Magazine in 1778 in London.  The music was composed by John Stafford Smith and the lyrics are thought to have been written by Ralph Tomlinson, president of the Anacreon Society, which was a popular gentleman's club in London whose membership were dedicated to "wit, harmony, and the god of wine".  The society chose the famed Greek poet Anacreon as their "patron saint" as he was particularly known for composing odes to merrymaking, women, and wine, among the Anacreon Society's favorite things.

The full lyrics to To Anacreon in Heaven are:
To Anacreon in Heav'n, where he sat in full glee,
A few Sons of Harmony sent a petition;
That he their Inspirer and Patron wou'd be;
When this answer arrived from the Jolly Old Grecian;
"Voice, Fiddle, and Flute,
No longer be mute,
I'll lend you my name and inspire you to boot,
And besides I'll instruct you like me, to intwine,
The Myrtle of Venus with Bacchus's Vine."

The news through Olympus immediately flew;
When Old Thunder pretended to give himself airs.
If these Mortals are suffered their scheme to pursue,
The Devil, a Goddess, will stay above stairs.
"Hark," already they cry,
"In transports of joy,
Away to the Sons of Anacreon we'll fly.
And besides I'll instruct you like me, to intwine,
The Myrtle of Venus with Bacchus's Vine.

The Yellow-Haired God and his nine lusty Maids,
From Helion's banks will incontinent flee,
Idalia will boast but of tenantless Shades,
And the bi-forked hill a mere desert will be.
My Thunder no fear on't,
Shall soon do it's errand,
And damme I'll swing the Ringleaders I warrant,
I'll trim the young dogs, for thus daring to twine,
The Myrtle of Venus with Bacchus's Vine."

Apollo rose up and said, "Pry'thee ne'er quarrel,
Good sing of the Gods with my Vot'ries below:
Your Thunder is useless" — then showing his laurel,
Cry'd "Sic evitable fulmen" you know!
"Then over each head
My laurels I'll spread
So my sons from your Crackers no mischief shall dread,
While snug in their clubroom, they jovially twine,
The Myrtle of Venus with Bacchus's Vine.'

Next Momus got up with his risible Phiz
And swore with Apollo he'd cheerfully join —
'The full tide of Harmony still shall be his,
But the Song, and the Catch, and the Laugh,
shall be mine.
Then Jove be not jealous
Of these honest fellows,"
Cry'd Jove, "We relent since the truth you now tell us;
And swear by Old Styx, that they long shall intwine,
The Myrtle of Venus with Bacchus's Vine."

Ye Sons of Anacreon then join hand in hand;
Preserve Unanimity, Friendship, and Love!
'Tis yours to support what's so happily plann'd;
You've the sanction of Gods, and the Fiat of Jove.
While thus we agree,
Our toast let it be:
"May our Club flourish Happy, United, and Free!
And long may the Sons of Anacreon intwine,
The Myrtle of Venus with Bacchus's Vine.

The tune to this little ditty became wildly popular and was adapted to a variety of other lyrics, as was the practice at the time before the RIAA became involved with music.  The lyrics that ultimately became the most historic to use the tune were those written by attorney Francis Scott Key while he sat on a British ship at a distance from the Battle of Fort McHenry during the War of 1812 (specifically the battle took place from September 13-14, 1814).


"This is the actual Flag that flew over Fort McHenry on the morning of
Sept. 14, 1814, helping to inspire the Star Spangle Banner"

Key was a temporary prisoner aboard a British ship, along with his companion Colonel John Stuart Skinner, as they'd been sent there to try to secure the release of a few Americans, including an American doctor being held by the British, Dr. William Beanes. During dinner with Vice Admiral Alexander Cochrane, Rear Admiral Sir George Cockburn, and Major General Robert Ross, Key and Skinner plead the case for the release of the prisoners, which they eventually got the British to do in the case of the elderly Dr. Beanes.  However, Key and Skinner were held for the duration of the battle due to the fact that they'd had occasion to observe the strength and apparent strategy of the British forces.  So they were not to be released until after the battle was over and were held on a ship about four miles from the battle front.

Key wrote some of the lyrics during his stay on the British prisoner ship, after seeing the "flag was still there".  The rest he finished up at the Indian Queen Hotel when he was released in Baltimore two days after the battle.  The lyrics were first published in the Baltimore Patriot and The American newspapers on September 20, 1814 under the title Defence of Fort McHenry. It was quickly picked up by fifteen other newspapers in the United States and its popularity grew from there.  It was first published under the name "Star Spangled Banner" when Thomas Carr started selling the lyrics and sheet music together at his music shop in Baltimore under that title.

It wouldn't be until March 3, 1931, though, that President Herbert Hoover would officially sign a Congressional resolution into law making the Star Spangled Banner the United States' national anthem.  Before this, Hail, Columbia ("Columbia" being an alternate name for America common in the 18th century particularly) and My Country, 'Tis of Thee were often more popularly used in that role.


Facts:

--The Star Spangled Banner wasn't the first time Key had used the To Anacreon in Heaven melody for a poem of his. He also used it in When the Warrior Returns written in 1805, which the Star Spangled Banner lyrics borrowed heavily from.

--Putting new lyrics to an already existing melody or piece of music is known as a contrafactum.  Another popular contrafactum that has survived to today is the ever popular Alphabet Song, which borrowed its melody from Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.

--Among other things, the Anacreon Society was well known for putting on concerts where the members would perform. These were well attended events; Joseph Haydn himself is known to have attended one of their performances in 1791.

--Francis Scott Key was the prosecuting attorney at the trial of Richard Lawrence after he attempted to assassinate President Andrew Jackson.  Read more about this assassination attempt here: President Andrew Jackson Beats Richard Lawrence with a Cane After Lawrence Attempts to Murder Him.  http://frogstorm.com/?p=184

--Key's son, Philip Barton Key II, was murdered by U.S. Congressman Daniel Sickles, who got off Scot Free. Sickles had discovered that Philip Key was having an affair with Sickles' wife.

--My Country, 'Tis of Thee's melody is from God Save the Queen/King.  The lyrics for My Country, 'Tis of Thee were by Samuel Francis Smith who wrote them in about half an hour when a friend at Andover Theological Seminary asked him to translate some German songs' lyrics to English.  One such composition, Muzio Clementi's Symphony No. 3, included the theme to God Save the Queen/King. When looking over it, Smith was inspired to write his own lyrics to the melody.

--My Country, 'Tis of Thee was first performed by children on July 4, 1831 at an Independence Day celebration in Boston.

--The music for Hail, Columbia was composed in 1789 by Philip Phile for the inauguration of George Washington.  Lyrics were later added in 1798 by Joseph Hopkinson.

--Today Hail, Columbia is commonly used as the walk-up music for the Vice-President of the United States.  Hail to the Chief is used for the President.

--The first known instance of the Star Spangled Banner being played at a Major League Baseball game is somewhat up for debate.  It is conjectured by some that it was during the opening day ceremonies in a game in Philadelphia in 1897 and then again in 1898 at the Polo Grounds.  Whether this is true or not, the first unequivocally true instance of the Star Spangled Banner being played at a Major League Baseball game was during the 1918 World Series between the Boston Red Sox and the Chicago Cubs during the 7th inning stretch. This song was played due to the United States' involvement in WWI and the "Work or Fight" edict that had shortened the baseball season, resulting in the World Series being played in September.  Despite this early performance, it wouldn't become common for the Star Spangled Banner to be played at Major League Baseball games until the U.S. became involved in WWII.

--Boston won the 1918 World Series 4 games to 2, despite only scoring 9 runs the whole series.  That is still a record for the fewest runs scored by a team that won the World Series.  It would be 86 years until the Red Sox would win another.  The Cubs are still amidst their World Series drought, with their last such championship being in 1908.  The two teams wouldn't play again until June 10, 2005 during an interleague series in Chicago.

--Believe it or not, a major push for the United States to adopt an official national anthem was partially spurred by Ripley's Believe It or Not!  On November 3, 1929 Ripley included in a cartoon the text, "Believe It or Not, America has no national anthem."  Momentum for an official anthem grew and, as stated above, on March 3, 1931 President Herbert Hoover officially signed a Congressional resolution into law making the Star Spangled Banner the United States' national anthem.

--The Star Spangled Banner had previously been promoted by President Woodrow Wilson when in 1916 he ordered it should be played at various military ceremonies.

--In the original version of the Star Spangled Banner, the third line is different than what is sung today.  Today it's "Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight..."  Originally it was, "Whose bright stars and broad stripes, through the clouds of the fight..."

--The actual flag flown over Fort McHenry on the morning of September 14, 1814 is on display in the National Museum of American History.  It has 15 stars and 15 stripes.

--While today only the first stanza of the Star Spangled Banner is sung, it actually has three more, including one suggesting the "In God We Trust" motto (fourth stanza) for the United States, something that didn't become official until 1956.  

The full four stanza's are as follows:
O say can you see by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner, O! long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country, should leave us no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave,
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

O thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation.
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the Heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
