No data breach is good, but some are more palatable than others. We would all rather hear that our florist got hacked than, say, our bank. And the most painful breaches, like the Office of Personnel Management or Anthem health insurance incidents that involved stolen Social Security numbers and other hard-to-change personal data, are naturally the most valuable targets for attackers. We can now add the massive credit reporting agency Equifax to that list.

Dr. Arthur Agatston: When I tell patients that they need to take one or more medications to improve their cholesterol profile, many of them ask me whether a natural, over-the-counter dietary supplement would do the job just as well.
The answer is “No.” As I mentioned earlier, because the supplement industry is not regulated by the FDA, most supplements have never undergone the rigorous scientific testing that is required for approval of a pharmaceutical product. Moreover, the research that has been performed on specific supplements — notably, antioxidants — has been very disappointing.

I’ll never forget that night. I was expecting my husband to arrive home from an out-of-town business meeting, but instead of hearing the garage door go up, I heard a doorbell. My heart pounded as I opened the door, and I felt it would stop when I heard that John died in a car accident and would never come home again.
The death of a beloved person is a scenario we all dread, and rightly so. It is one of the most devastating experiences one can endure. In the initial period of time after it occurs, most people wonder whether they’ll survive.
So, if it happens to you, what can you expect and how do you cope? Full discussion would take a book, but hopefully these tips will help

A cancer patient can spend hours in surgery, only to discover afterwards that a small piece of the tumor was left behind – and that means a second arduous procedure. It’s a common, distressing outcome for the patient.

Credit monitoring company Equifax has been hit by a high-tech heist that exposed the Social Security numbers and other sensitive information about 143 million Americans. Now the unwitting victims have to worry about the threat of having their identities stolen.
The theft obtained consumers’ names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses and, in some cases, driver’s license numbers. The purloined data can be enough for crooks to hijack the identities of people whose credentials were stolen through no fault of their own, potentially wreaking havoc on their lives. Equifax said its core credit-reporting databases don’t appear to have been breached.
