Off The Internet– The Longest Password

Courtesy of Cathy Martin

During a recent audit by a company it was found that one blond employee was using the following password: MickeyMinniePlutoHueyLouieDeweyDonaldGoofySacremento.
When asked why she had such a long password she rolled her eyes and said “Hello! It has to be at least eight characters and include at least one capital.”
Laugh but it’s not that bad a password, and she can remember it. She should probably get a numeral in there somewhere, though.

Tax/Rent Rebate Deadline Is Dec. 31

The deadline to apply for the 2011 Property Tax/Rent Rebate program is Dec. 31, says State Rep. Jim Cox (R-129). If you’ve already applied and/or received your rebate check for 2011, please note that applications for the 2012 program will not be accepted until next year, probably in mid-February. 

Eligible participants can receive a rebate of up to $650 based on their rent or property taxes paid in 2011. The program benefits eligible Pennsylvanians who are 65 years or older, widows and widowers 50 years or older, and those 18 years or older with permanent disabilities. 

Eligibility income limits for homeowners are set at the following levels, excluding 50 percent of Social Security, Supplemental Security Income, and Railroad Retirement Tier 1 benefits: 

•

$0 to $8,000, maximum $650 rebate (homeowners and renters).

•

$8,001 to $15,000, maximum $500 rebate (homeowners and renters).

•

$15,001 to $18,000, maximum $300 rebate (homeowners only).

•

$18,001 to $35,000, maximum $250 rebate (homeowners only).

Residents are reminded to provide all the necessary income, property tax or rental information required to process claims quickly and accurately. 

One can obtain an application by visiting this page on Cox’s website.

Wellington Oliveira You Didn’t Hear About

Wellington Oliveira killed 12 children and himself on April 7, 2011 at Tasso da Silveira Municipal School which is an elementary school in Rido de Janeiro, Brazil. Twelve other people were seriously wounded.

Oliveira, 23, used a .38-caliber revolver and .32-caliber revolver to do the damage.
Brazil has strict gun laws. All weapons are required to be registered with the state, the minimum age for ownership is 25, and it is almost impossible to legally carry a weapon outside the home. Gun owners are required to pay an BRL $85 fee every three years for each weapon they own.
The laws didn’t save the children, just as the relatively strict gun laws in Connecticut didn’t save the children in Newtown.
Those who want to take advantage of the tragedy and seek not to let a “serious crisis go to waste” should hang their heads in eternal shame.

Answer to yesterday’s puzzle: The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better. I, therefore, intend to oppose the effort to increase America’s debt.
