http://mashable.com/2012/03/30/facebook-friends-apps-privacy/ Even if you never connect your Facebook account to a single app, dozens of them may still have access to your profile information via your Facebook friends. When your Facebook friends connect new apps, the list of permissions they approve can include access to not just their own information, but also specific information from your profile — including your birthday, status updates, photos, hometown, current city and app activity. Facebook won’t share information with your friends’ apps that you haven’t shared with your friends, and you can control which information friends’ apps can access through a privacy settings page. But some Facebook users don’t realize they’re sharing information with app developers this way, or that they can control it. How Apps Use Information From Your Friends Access to friends’ information makes some Facebook-connected services more useful.

Mr Osborne said the Budget rewarded hard work The government has defended plans in the Budget to change tax allowances for pensioners, amid claims they amount to a "raid" on their incomes. George Osborne is to freeze age-related allowances - the amount of income over-65s can earn tax-free - for existing pensioners, and scrap the relief for those retiring after next April. But, in a surprise move, the chancellor announced these would not be increased in line with inflation as expected but frozen at 2012-2013 levels from 5 April 2003. In addition, anyone turning 65 after that date will no longer qualify for the relief. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-17469252

You may nominate someone other than yourself, provided that the person meets the qualifications and that you have first obtained that person's enthusiastic consent. The project was first announced in February 2001, in that month's issue of the mini-AIR newsletter. The initial list of The Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Scientists members, assembled by a subcommittee comprised of seven members of the American Association for the Advancement of Science , was meant as a nucleating seed, from which a larger list could grow. The first member, chosen by acclamation, was psychologist Steven Pinker , whose hair has long been the object of admiration, and envy, and intense study. From that lone, Pinkerian seed, there has grown a spreading chestnut, black, blond, and red-haired membership tree.
