While her professional life was relatively ripple-free, her personal life hit rough water early on. In her 2009 autobiography, “I’ll Scream Later,” she writes of her tumultuous off-screen romantic relationship with Hurt, which was punctuated by episodes of domestic violence. After a period of drug abuse she sought trea... |
Fortunately, Matlin's personal life turned a corner. She married Los Angeles-area police officer Kevin Grandalski in 1993 in a ceremony that was held at Winkler's home. Together they have four children aged 12 to 19. |
Someone will be notably missed tonight when the Deftones appear with the BlackDiamondSkye tour in Seattle. |
Bassist Chi Cheng hasn’t played with his band since a November 2008 car accident left him in a vegetative state. Sergio Vega will play bass tonight when the Deftones join Alice in Chains and Mastodon at KeyArena. |
Before the accident, Cheng was working on the as-yet-unreleased “Eros,” which would have been the Deftones’ sixth studio album had his band mates not decided to reboot months after the accident, instead recording what eventually became May’s “Diamond Eyes” release. |
So recently we caught up with lead singer Chino Moreno to talk about his fallen comrade and the new songs fans have yet to hear. |
). Is he in a better state than people see in the videos? |
No, the video is pretty true to what it is. Honestly, I just watched that about a week ago. I didn’t think they were actually going to put footage of him, you know, on there. But that’s it. You’ll see him, and he’s just there. He looks around, and he stares. You know, it’s really frustrating that all you want to do is ... |
Are you doing anything in concert that’s kind of a tribute to him? |
(Fans) bring signs. They’ve got shirts, you know. Everybody’s really supportive of it. And there’s a couple of specific songs in the set that are directed toward him. We obviously want to make it known that he is not forgotten. |
What songs are you dedicating to him? |
We are playing the song “Dai” (short for “Dai the Flu”) which is named after him. Then, obviously, the song “Risk” from the new record, which is pretty much an ode to him. It’s nothing that’s really been said in the press before, but I think a lot of people listening to it read the lyrics (as being) geared toward him. |
We’re just trying to be as optimistic as we can about the whole situation. It keeps us sane. |
Tell me about the “Eros” material versus “Diamond Eyes.” Are they similar or is it a totally different record? |
I don’t think they’re the same at all. I think although a lot of the music on there is great, from the “Eros” sessions, I think we were still in this place where our work ethic was still very lax. |
When we went in to make “Diamond Eyes,” we really, really changed our whole work ethic where we went back to just working, like, eight hours a day straight. ... We’d start an idea and we’d finish the idea before we left. |
With the “Eros” stuff a song will start in one place and then end somewhere else completely. I think it’s a little bit more jammy than the “Diamond Eyes” record is. |
We’ve put it away for the time being, and when we feel, I guess, comfortable enough to start working on it again or to open up the files and even listen to it. I haven’t even really listened to that stuff since it happened. It’s pretty intense even to kind of (listen.) The music is a picture of that time in our lives, ... |

Can U.S. Embassies Be Safe Without Being Unsightly? |
There's been a tug of war between aesthetically pleasing and safe when it comes to American embassies around the world. |
Many embassies have been slammed as bunkers, bland cubes and lifeless compounds. Even the new Secretary of State John Kerry said just a few years ago, "We are building some of the ugliest embassies I've ever seen." |
And then, in four years, elect a woman president; a person who has the intellect, wisdom, and judgment, as well as the integrity and courage to stand up for what makes sense combined with an ingrained concern for the public good.

Elizabeth understands the root cause of what led America into our present chasm of financial despair and vast economic inequality. A chasm that Paul Krugman and Arthur Laffer agree is a depression!

Further Elizabeth knows what is so wrong with the Fed and the SEC. She understands that the SEC failed to enforce existing regulations.

Waukegan and neighboring fire departments use an air boat equipped with side-scan sonar Jan. 21, 2019 to search for the body of a teenager who drowned while trying to save a friend in Waukegan Harbor. |
The search for the body of a missing teenager along Waukegan’s lakefront will continue Tuesday as weather conditions continue to hamper efforts to find him since he disappeared into the water Friday night. |
For a short time Monday, rescuers were able to get a boat equipped with sonar out in the beach area after winds that had been whipping up waves changed, according to Steve Lenzi of the Waukegan Fire Department. |
However, late Monday afternoon the wind from the southeast pushed ice into the beach area and will likely impact operations on Tuesday. |
“Three quarters of the beach area was open. Now it’s packed with ice that was blown in,” he said. “We will access the situation Tuesday. We also want closure for the family, but we have to do what is safe. |
“The weather is really hampering us to do the search safely,” Lenzi said, and now there is another storm watch. |
Waukegan and neighboring fire departments use an air boat equipped with side-scan sonar to search for the body of a teenager who drowned while trying to save a friend in Waukegan Harbor. |
Two 16-year-olds went into the water Friday night. Rescue personnel responded to a call for help in an area near the main pier, off the beach near the Stiner Pavilion, “for a subject who slipped off the pier and into the water,” according to a statement issued by the Fire Department. |
“The caller also advised that a second subject jumped in to try and rescue the first subject and they were both struggling,” the statement said. |
“While fire units were responding, we were advised that one subject was out of the water and in need of medical attention.” That 16-year-old was taken to Vista Medical Center East in Waukegan Friday night and then transferred to another hospital, but that hospital was not immediately known, Lenzi said Monday. |
“We also learned that two Waukegan police officers were able to pull the first person that fell into the water out,” he said, but they couldn’t locate the second teenager who jumped in to help the first. |
Since then, weather conditions have limited the search for the body of the missing teen. On Monday morning, fire crews searched the shoreline and the Illinois State Police air operations assisted with an aerial search of the area as well, according to a statement. |
“The extremely cold temperatures over the last few days created a new dangerous hazard for crews as the harbor entrance has frozen over and boats are not able to make entry into the open waters to search with sonar equipment,” according to a statement released Monday. |
Instead of deciding the truth of the halacha based on the best arguments, arguments themselves must first “be vetted by the greatest halachic masters of the generation (gedolei ha-dor), who are trained and attuned to the Ruach Ha-Halacha and can discern whether a certain practice conforms thereto” OK. What is “Ruach Ha... |
This is a great device for keeping things the way they are, but a terrible way to mantain the integrity of a system. Just as, eg, Antonin Salia has to produce pages of tightly reasoned arguments to justify his interpretations of the constitution, “the greatest halachic masters of the generation” must do the same. If we... |
Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort and Marine Corps Community Services are offering residents a chance to design the T-shirt for the 2011 Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort Air Show. |
Corps officials are accepting submissions until Nov. 15. The winning artwork will be featured on the event's official T-shirt, programs, posters, flyers and other memorabilia, according to a news release. The winning designer will receive $500 and other prizes. |
The air show is scheduled for April 30 and May 1. |
Cell phones — particularly smartphones — are inherently bad for privacy. You’ve basically got a tracking device in your pocket, pinging off cell towers and locking onto GPS satellites. All the while, the handset’s data connection ensures that tracking cookies, advertising IDs, and usage stats follow you around the inte... |
So no, there’s no such thing as a perfectly secure and truly private smartphone, let’s get that out of the way now. But in the information age, you practically need a smartphone just to get by in society, so the question then becomes: Which phone manages to be the lesser of all the evils? |
With critical vulnerabilities such as the Dirty COW exploit on Android and the Pegasus NSO hack on iOS, not to mention the FBI attempting to find a backdoor into practically every phone, that’s a hard question to answer. So to find the most security-hardened devices, we tested the top smartphones on the market, looking... |
Biometrics: There are two schools of thought involving fingerprint scanners and other biometric unlocking methods. First, there’s the idea that if your biometric identifiers were ever stolen, you wouldn’t be able to change them like a password, making them permanently compromised. The second line of thinking is that if... |
Encryption: Each of these phones uses one of two types of encryption: file-based (FBE) or full disk (FDE). File-based encryption is the more effective method of the two, as it allows individual files to be locked with different keys, whereas full disk encryption uses only one key to lock the entire data partition. All ... |
Encryption Engine: This is more about performance than security, but some phones use hardware to handle the actual process of encrypting, while other phones do it with software. The iPhone 7, for instance, uses a dedicated hardware chip to handle encryption, which results in better read and write speeds than the Androi... |
Sandboxed User Accounts: If privacy is one of your top considerations, you may want to maintain separate user spaces on your phone — perhaps one for work, and another for your personal usage. If so, it’s important that the data from each user account be truly separated (or “sandboxed“), and the Android phones in this l... |
Restrict Ad Tracking: Phones that ship with Apple and Google services preinstalled use a system-wide advertising tracking ID to help marketing partners deliver targeted ads. This ID follows you around as you use apps and services on your phone, which is sketchy behavior when it comes to privacy. Apple allows you to res... |
Always-On VPN: A virtual private network, or VPN, allows you to reroute internet traffic through an external server. A good VPN service will even let you encrypt all data traffic for increased anonymity. With Android devices, you can funnel all types of internet traffic through a VPN. With an iPhone, however, you can o... |
Block Internet Access for Apps: If you don’t want apps “phoning home,” the ability to block internet access on a per-app basis is a huge plus. With Android, this can be done by setting up a local VPN like Netguard, which takes a little extra work. With iOS, you can easily disable mobile data access for an app, however,... |
Calls & SMS Encrypted by Default: All phones in this list have access to Signal Private Messenger, which is an app that encrypts your calls and messages for added privacy. However, only the Blackphone 2 comes with this functionality by default. |
Anti-StingRay Detection: Government agencies have been known to use a fake cell tower device called a StingRay to intercept calls and SMS messages from a suspect in one of their ongoing investigations. The Blackphone 2 has a feature that notifies you when your phone might be connected to a StingRay, while the other pho... |
Data Wipe After Failed Login: Some phones have a feature that triggers an automatic factory reset when someone attempts to enter your PIN or password too many times, if enabled. This is very effective when it comes to fending off intruders, as it makes brute-force password attacks all but impossible. |
LastPass: The popular password management service LastPass has varying degrees of functionality on each of these phones. Some of the devices allow you to log into the service using your fingerprint, others will auto-populate passwords into apps and websites for you, and the Pixel will let you do both. |
Stock Security Center App: If you’re security-minded, it’s good to have a centralized app that helps you handle all of your phone’s security needs. The Blackberry PRIV and Blackphone offer such security center apps, which give you an overview of your phone’s security health and allow you to easily tweak important secur... |
OS CVEs: All phones in this list run either iOS or Android. In recent years, both of these operating systems have had numerous common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs) discovered, so it’s important to keep track of exactly how vulnerable they are. In the past three years, CVEDetails has reported that 661 CVEs were f... |
Security Patch Timeframe: Blackphone promises that critical bugs will be patched within 72 hours. Like Google and the Pixel, Blackberry uses Android’s recommended monthly security patch time frame, however, they will patch critical bugs faster than that if need be. Apple doesn’t adhere to a specific time frame with its... |
Bug Bounties: Device manufacturers will usually offer a cash prize for anyone who can find glaring weaknesses in their phone’s software, effectively crowd-sourcing the process of discovering and closing security loopholes. With a higher bounty, people will generally be more motivated to find these bugs. Some companies ... |
Our first requirement in choosing these phones was that they all had to be available for sale in the United States. Secondly, for a phone to make this list, it had to be encrypted by default to ensure that your data is protected against external access. |
Another requirement was that the phones all offered granular permission management, which allows you to revoke an app’s permission to access certain features like your camera and microphone. Then, to ensure that your data remains safe even when your phone is lost or stolen, we only selected phones with remote lock and ... |
From there, finalists were chosen based on how well the devices scored in the key comparison points above, and with that, the following phones rose to the top. |
A staff member of Silent Circle presents a prototype of the new smartphone 'Blackphone 2' during the mobile industry and communications fair Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, 3 March 2015. |
Startup manufacturer Silent Circle is a company that focuses on privacy and security in all of its products and services. Their second smartphone, the Blackphone 2, is powered by a security-focused fork of Android called Silent OS, which features privacy enhancements such as a security center that allows you to control... |
Silent Circle apparently subscribes to the school of thought that says biometrics are bad for security, as they’ve chosen not to include a fingerprint scanner on their Blackphone 2. This means that you won’t be able to log into your LastPass account with your fingerprint, though, as an Android device, the Blackphone ha... |
The Blackphone 2 uses 128-bit AES encryption, though it’s of the full disk variety, meaning once the decryption key (your PIN or password) has been entered, the entire data partition is decrypted. This is still a very secure implementation, but encryption is handled entirely by software, so it can have an impact on dev... |
As an Android device, the Blackphone 2 has the ability to maintain separate user spaces. But to make things even better, Silent Circle has added a few additional undisclosed security measures to ensure that the data from each user account is completely inaccessible while logged into a different account. This feature wo... |
Speaking of Google Services, the Blackphone 2 will not let you limit the ability of apps to see and use Google’s ad tracking identifier for your device, so you might want to periodically reset the ad tracking data in Settings -> Google. However, the Blackphone 2 gives you the option of installing an encrypted VPN app a... |
Another major bonus when it comes to anonymity is the fact that each Blackphone 2 comes with a full year of Silent Circle’s encrypted phone call and messaging service for free, so even your carrier won’t be able to intercept your communications. On top of that, the Blackphone 2 has another awesome feature called CIDS (... |
The Blackphone 2 will automatically trigger a full data wipe after 10 failed login attempts, so you can rest assured that a brute-force password hack won’t allow anyone to log into your phone. Then, to make things even more secure, Silent Circle has included a Security Center app that resides right on the home screen d... |
Silent Circle has their own bug bounty for the Blackphone that rewards up to $1,024 for any bugs found, and the program is open to the public. And as a sort of cherry on top, the Blackphone 2’s single, most important security feature may very well be the fact that Silent Circle has promised to issue security updates wi... |
New BlackBerry Priv that runs on the Android system. |
Even though the PRIV is over a year old, it’s still BlackBerry’s newest flagship device. The PRIV was BlackBerry’s first Android phone, but they’ve since gone all-in on the Android ecosystem with two additional midrange phones in the DTEK50 and DTEK60. That hasn’t changed BlackBerry’s legendary security-first approach,... |
Like the Blackphone 2, the PRIV does not have a fingerprint scanner, which can be a positive or a negative depending on how you want to look at it. However, this does mean that you won’t be able to log into LastPass with your fingerprint, but you the app can still auto-populate passwords for you. |
The PRIV uses full disk encryption powered by a software-based encryption engine, which are two minor downsides relative to some other phones in this list, but still very strong security measures when compared to the rest of the smartphone market. To make the encryption even stronger, it’s using 256-bit AES keys, which... |
With the help of its Android-powered operating system, the PRIV will let you create sandboxed user profiles that don’t share any data between them, which is perfect for keeping your work and personal life separate. On top of that, Android allows the PRIV to use always-on VPN services to encrypt internet traffic on Wi-F... |
The PRIV will automatically wipe all user data when someone enters the wrong password or PIN ten times, which is a security measure BlackBerry has added on top of stock Android. And much like Silent Circle’s approach with the Blackphone 2, BlackBerry has included a security center app called DTEK that will help you kee... |
BlackBerry is committed to Android’s monthly security patch program, and they’ve stated that they will go a step further and issue faster updates if a critical security bug is ever found. The company also has a bug bounty program for its devices, but they don’t disclose how much they’re willing to pay when a programmer... |
Apple Inc. iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus devices are displayed at the company's Omotesando store on September 16, 2016 in Tokyo, Japan. |
The iPhone 7, together with the iPhone 7 Plus, has helped Apple to reclaim the title of top smartphone maker in the world, as of Q4 2016. Top to bottom, it’s an expertly crafted smartphone with benchmark scores that top the market (thanks to an insane spec sheet). However, it’s the iPhone’s security features that plant... |
The iPhone’s Touch ID fingerprint scanner allows you to log into your phone in one tap, and the same feature works with numerous banking apps and similar services, such as LastPass. Depending on your line of thinking, you may view biometrics as a security risk, but you have to admit that Touch ID makes folks more likel... |
The iPhone 7 uses AES 256-bit file-based encryption, which is as good as it gets with smartphones. This is powered by a dedicated hardware encryption engine, which contributes greatly to the device’s top-notch read and write speeds. |
Though the iPhone 7 does not offer a security center app, it does have a robust Privacy menu that allows you to restrict usage of the device’s unique ad-tracking identifier. Enabling the “Limit Ad Tracking” option here will ensure that apps do not use your device’s unique identifier in any way other than for “limited a... |
Judging by public perception after the San Bernardino shooting investigation where Apple refused to create a backdoor for the FBI, as well as all of the above positives, you’d think the iPhone clearly outranks all Android devices in terms of security. But with feature phones like the PRIV and Blackphone that were purpo... |
Apple has a bug bounty program for its iOS devices, as well as its iCloud service, and they offer more than any other manufacturer here for finding a critical issue (up to $200,000). But the program is not open to the public, so the pool of programmers working to find bugs is severely limited (just “a few dozen” invite... |
