A cybercriminal going by the super-cool alias Guccifer has somehow accessed the email accounts of George H.W. Bush and family members, sparking a federal investigation after he posted the personal correspondence and photos online. The emails—some of which detail Bush Sr.'s health conditions—include home addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses for several Bushes. But perhaps most concerning for the famous family members are the photos—including one of the 88-year-old in the hospital and others Bush sent to his sister of paintings he was working on, in particular self-portraits of the former president in the shower and bathtub.

The ban applies to all roads in the state, and violators could incur a penalty of a year in jail and a fine of $500. Read it at The Boston Globe HEADS UP 5.

The golf ball struck a woman in the forehead, drawing blood. Rice quickly apologized, and her assistant took down the injured woman's phone number. "Somebody asked me, 'How did it compare to diplomacy?'" Rice said after her round of 18. "And I said, 'Well, I know how to do diplomacy. I'm not so sure about the golf course.'"
