Weekly Rumble, 8-10

Facebook agrees to tighten its privacy policies, after the FTC called them out for sharing locations and status updates with advertisers... a great point for those afraid to turn on two-step verification on their Google logins (like me)... a ten-year old won a bronze medal back in 1896; who are the youngest competitors in this year's Olympics? Seven Cameroonians fled the Olympic Village to avoid going back; here is a brief history of Olympic defectors... is Alex Morgan the next Mia Hamm?

And a great long read on Urban Meyer and why family comes first this time. Sounds corny, but includes great insight.

Now, your St. John's links from the Rumble - in case you missed any of the articles the first time. Right now, the link dump is the biweekly Rumble, but we're trying to get more regular than that... if you will. Read on about what we've covered in the past two weeks.
