		<title>Students, Grades and Social Security Numbers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When social security numbers were first issued back in the 1920&#8217;s, they were never intended to be used for identification purposes.

		<description><![CDATA[Octomom, Nadya Suleman, herself doesn&#8217;t have any connection with identity theft - she has enough to do already with all those little ones.

		<title>Oklahoma Loses 500,000 Identities</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here we go again with another stolen laptop story&#8230;.
