Comment It's my SSN! (Score 1) 342

It's the same as my Social Security Number.

Since it's got the word Security in it, I use it for my bank accounts, the combination on my safe and my default password.

It's so secure and I only have to remember 1 number!

Scientists Say a Dirty Child Is a Healthy Child 331

Researchers from the School of Medicine at the University of California have shown that the more germs a child is exposed to, the better their immune system in later life. Their study found that keeping a child's skin too clean impaired the skin's ability to heal itself. From the article: "'These germs are actually good for us,' said Professor Richard Gallo, who led the research. Common bacterial species, known as staphylococci, which can cause inflammation when under the skin, are 'good bacteria' when on the surface, where they can reduce inflammation."

Comment Ex Parte, not In Camera (Score 2, Informative) 215

IANAL but I lived with several law students and helpded many study so I've picked up a few things.

In Camera requires both parties to be present, I have a friend who had to do a lot of research to clarify that.

Ex Parte is where only 1 party is present.

Also, since it appears there are RICO charges involved, standard procedure is to seal the documents until a verdict so as to not impinge the good name of the defendant.
