An ex-contractor at the Department for Work and Pensions had two discs with thousands of benefit claimants' details for more than a year, the DWP says.
The unencrypted discs revealed the type of benefits paid, but a DWP spokesman said they did not contain bank details.
The woman told the News of the World she forgot to return them after she stopped working for the DWP a year ago.
In October, two child benefit discs containing the personal details of 25 million people went missing.
The HM Revenue and Customs discs containing the entire child benefit database, unregistered and unencrypted had been sent to the National Audit Office - but they did not arrive.

It is a scientific icon, which belongs, some claim, alongside E=mc2 and the double helix.
Its name - the Keeling Curve - may be scarcely known outside scientific circles, but the jagged upward slope showing rising carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the atmosphere has become one of the most famous graphs in science, and a potent symbol of our times.
It was 50 years ago that a young American scientist, Charles David Keeling, began tracking CO2 in the Earth's atmosphere at two of the world's last wildernesses - the South Pole and the summit of the Mauna Loa volcano in Hawaii.
His very precise measurements produced a remarkable data set, which first sounded alarm bells over the build-up of the gas in the atmosphere, and eventually led to the tracking of greenhouse gases worldwide.
The curve set the scene for the debate over climate change, and policies, sometimes controversial, that address the human contribution to the greenhouse effect.

Gordon Brown has vowed to make urgent reforms of political party funding in the wake of the Labour donations row.
He raised the prospect of more public funding and caps on campaign spending and donations, hinting at a review of the funding Labour gets from unions.
He appealed for consensus but said he would fight any "one-party deadlock".
The Tories said the prime minister was trying to deflect attention from the row over money which a businessman gave to Labour using proxy donors.
Shadow work and pensions secretary Chris Grayling said Labour had "a cavalier disregard for the laws that it put in place".

A commission tasked with setting a demarcated border between Ethiopia and Eritrea has dissolved amid continuing tensions between the two countries.
The Eritrea-Ethiopia Boundary Commission (EEBC), which was charged with setting a border both on maps and on the ground, ended its mandate on Saturday.
Ethiopia and Eritrea had opted not to allow the commission, which was set up by the Hague-based Permanent Court of Arbitration, to stay on past its November-end deadline.
In 2002, the EEBC granted Eritrea the border town of Badme, a decision that Ethiopia has not accepted.
In September, the two countries and the EEBC agreed that unless the 2002 ruling was accepted by November's end, "the boundary will automatically stand as demarcated".

Found this on TBogg re the Clinton NH office hostage situation; Ann Althouse's take on it:
Afterwards, she used the occasion to make a show of her emotions (or did you think she was cold and mechanical?). She said:
"It affected me not only because they were my staff members and volunteers, but as a mother, it was just a horrible sense of bewilderment, confusion, outrage, frustration, anger, everything at the same time."
Is that what you want in a President? Someone who feels extra confusion because she's a mother?
But I don't believe that for one minute. I think that was just what was considered a good script. I don't happen to think it is a good script, because I don't want a President to roil into a mommyesque ball of emotion when a few people are in danger. Yet that's not Hillary. The only question is why she thought a statement like that was a good one. She probably wanted to make sure not to confirm the widely held belief that she's unemotional, and, while she was at it, delight all the ladies out there who lap up emotional drivel.
http://tbogg.blogspot.com/
You won't see a more neatly executed double bind than that. No way, none at all, that Hillary can come out of this having, in Althouse's eyes, acted appropriately.
Connoisseurs of antifeminist ploys will doubtless feel they've seen this movie before...
Really, Altmouse should just eat shit and die. If a man had said, "As a father, I was worried for those young people," that would have been just fine.
You won't see a more neatly executed double bind than that. No way, none at all, that Hillary can come out of this having, in Althouse's eyes, acted appropriately.
Of course not. She has breastesses, after all.

Yup.
Although it's funny, I thought the AP article I read this morning did an almost-decent job on the situation. A few backhanded things, but overall made her look very commanding and presidential whilst retaining her motherly stuff. I was surprised.
Oh, and Althouse is a fucking bitch who never brings me eclairs because she's always wasted on box wine.
And you can quote me.
I'm sure that FEMA and DHSect'y have plans to save Atlanta and Durham. They just can't publicize them because then the terrorists would win.
Well, since Hillary has breastes, and they've been near Bill Clinton, I can see how Altmouse would have an issue with her.

Durham is increasing its water storage capacity by turning an old quarry into a reservoir. Raleigh is also working to increase its water storage capacity, however it has much more to make up for given its profligate development patterns.
We now have a fully Democratic city council who will be looking at growth issues from a less development happy stance.
In other news, we have a whacko set of county commissioners that features a nephew of Jesse Helms (he once remarked that maybe renters wanted the option to rent apartments with no source of heat and who were we to force landlords to provide a heating appliance and take away that option to the lower-end renter? Paul Coble - I'm looking at you.).

Death Toll for Iraqis Plummets
BAGHDAD (AP) - The number of Iraqis killed last month fell to 718, an Associated Press tally showed, the lowest monthly death toll since just before the 2006 bombing of a Shiite shrine provoked a vicious cycle of retaliatory sectarian violence.
The figures come as the military says violence has fallen to levels not seen in nearly two years, while acknowledging that Iraqis are still dying in unacceptable numbers.
An expert on the effect of conflicts on civilians agreed, saying that while the downward trend was positive, it needed to be kept in perspective.
"We've gone from horrific levels of murder to very bad, which is an improvement but not a reason to celebrate," said Richard Garfield, a professor at New York's Columbia University and a manager of health and nutrition for the World Health Organization.
"At these so-called low levels, there's a massive number of excess deaths still likely to occur."
It was the third consecutive monthly decline in the death toll of Iraqi civilians and security forces since August, when a massive suicide bombing targeting minority Yazidis in northern Iraq helped push the figure to at least 1,956.
Well, since Hillary has breastes, and they've been near Bill Clinton, I can see how Altmouse would have an issue with her.
Indeed.
And I still find this picture so damned moving.
(I have a well.)
Hecate: I agree, but, in this case, I don't think sheer numbers of people are the problem. The resources are being misused and abused. Conservation and wiser development would have mitigated the problem significantly. You can't pave over all the wetlands, turn rural areas into suburbs and preserve water resources.
Yeah, well, u should have talked to us when u were asked....

very astute. With a bouquet "n'ya n'ya n'ya"
Seriously, the drought is bad, but temporary. This region depends on tropical weather to keep water flowing. The El Nino kept the huricanes at bay this year, but there is no doubt that they will return. When that happens the extra storage will be very useful. It's called "long term planning". I can only hope that the planning also finds a way to limit growth commensurate with the supplies of basic resources.

Oh, I'm sure of it. When Vitter's wife stands by her man, it's in defense of marriage. When Hillary stands by Bill, it's because she's an anti-feminist and ambitious person with a 20-year plan to rule the world and cut off my cock with the same knife she used on Vince Foster, her lesbian lover.

I only have one response for the "surge is working!" idiots: if it is, it only points out all the more how criminal this administration's incompetence is, since they were advised to send in more troops in the first place and fired the people who gave them the good advice.
hard to say if the surge worked but arming and payrolling our former insurgent enemies has probably saved american lives - the ultimate blowback for iraq for arming all sides is yet to be played out

The Justice Department, citing a Cold War-era court ruling, declared that the contents of the ”Sensitive Security Records” cannot be publicly revealed even though they could show whether Abramoff made more visits to the White House than those already acknowledged. […]
”This is an extraordinary development and it raises the specter that there were additional contacts with President Bush or other high White House officials that have yet to be disclosed,” said Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, a conservative watchdog group that filed the suit. ”We’ve alleged that the government has committed misconduct in this litigation and frankly this is more fuel for that fire.”

It's not even real grass. But in the midst of what may be the worst drought ever in North Carolina, Duke University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill are watering the synthetic turfs used by their field hockey teams. Durham, which has about 69 days left in its water supply at the current use rate, has banned all outdoor watering. Duke, which could not supply a number for the gallons used on turf watering, gets a business exemption to spray the field and other places on campus.

One of the plot devices is how Christianity is taking over the Norseland to the detriment of monster fighting and there are some lines about celebrating "weak martyrs instead of heroes" and a scene where the priest, is um, less than effective.

ATLANTA, February 12, 2003 — Last summer, there were more than sugar crystals swirling in kids' Kool-Aid drinks in Atlanta's Buckhead neighborhood.
Hundreds of residents complained throughout the summer of brown water pouring from their taps, much of it studded with visible debris. One mother described her Kool-Aid as darker than iced tea with "little particles" floating in it. Officials from United Water Resources Inc., which had held the management contract in Atlanta since January 1999, blamed the red clay- and rust-tainted water on power outages and old, crumbling pipes. The water was merely ugly, not harmful, they said.
"A lot of people think that brown water equals private companies," said Jim Creedon, a spokesman for United Water. The problem comes from old infrastructure, not company mistakes, he said. Those repairs take time.
Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin, however, blamed United Water and, after six months of intense scrutiny of company operations, ended United Water's contract with the city on Jan. 24, 2003.

Just so long as he never ever mentions even slightly considering Ron Paul as a running mate, ever again.
Pffft. If people ask him, he should answer. Besides, it's not like Paul would be Cheney as Veep.
Looks like you could order a custom color on this men's fleece hat. You could even have two shades of pink!
It's kinda dorky, but I like it!
"I ran tonight but turned back early (five miles instead of eight) -- I had neglected to take the wind chill factor into account (plus run through sleet on snow & ice kind of sucks)"
wimp. when i was a kid we ran 32 miles in snowshoes and underwear.

O'Reilly To Debate Alf Tonight
No one ever said Bill O'Reilly wasn't crazy, but tonight he'll take his insanity to a new level when he debates 80's sitcom puppet Alf.

Snowshoes? You were lucky.
We had to run 172 miles on our hands, no shoes, carrying 17 Sherpas on our backs up Everest every day, then our parents would cut us in two with a bread knife when we got home.
I do not look like a plate of spaghetti and meatballs:

I like their summer hats.
Buckeye: Why does my cat blame me for him being cold when it was he who wanted outside?
Because, you keep the indoor temperature comfortable, somehow, and make food appear.

A bread knife! Luxury!

He's sitting on the couch now, bathing.
I know he knows I'm writing about him.
NTodd -- but I bet your mother made you wear gloves!
hooters flew upstairs.
Prior, I already offered NTodd some gloves, but he don't wanna.
In North Carolina, the hygiene won't use up much.
I wish there was some way to read just the comments relevant to the post.
The rest of the comments remind of the kids I hated in high school.
Dear repub voters,
Keep buyin' SUVs and pretend 20 pounds of co2 isn't released for every gallon of gas burned. Not having water to take showers on the march
Yeah, we know.
Damn, you guys, and gals, never stick to the topic much do you?
Well, if the end-times are coming, I can't think of a better place for them to start than the bible belt.
None of you know who Zoyd Wheeler is either, you fuxs.
Good lord, this is what passes for "conversation" on national blogs? I thought Usenet was bad.
FWIW, the 59 days of water quoted as remaining is "premium" water -- i.e., the water that existing intake pipes can bring in. Temporary intake pipes into Lake Michie and the Little River Reservoir can about double that supply.
And in re the quarry, the plans underway will convert the structure to hold about 2 billion gallons -- but there's already 500 million gal. of water stored there waiting to be used, and Durham now has state permission from the environmental/water quality folks (NCDENR) to use that supply, so tack another 25 days on.
The long term solution is absolutely looking closer at how we develop and grow. But the faucets won't be running dry in February.
Yeah, the state will get water, but the bigger is water use.
We need to start weeding out high water use dish washers and clothers washing machines as a start. Toilets are another place to start requiring tighter standards. The cost to us the consumer will be minor and not felt by the macro economy.

A blogger in Durham dared me to find an intelligent comment to this post.
I must say, I am overwhelmed by the silliness, vapidity and utterly moronic tone of these comments -- to what has become a serious problem here.
Glad to see you all think it's so fricking funny.
Just to help clear a few points:
1. Mike Nifong has nothing to do with this drought, and as time goes on, hopefully nothing to do with Durham anymore, either.
2. Our water system was not privatized.
3. We have not had a drought of this magnitude before, ever, since records were started in the late 19th century.
4. Scientists think the jet stream's shift northward (and the rain it brings) is due to La Nina in the pacific ocean. But please keep thinking about global warming, it's probably not helping the La Nina Effect.
Go 'canes!
