Crews clear rocks, reopen busy Yosemite highway

A busy highway in Yosemite National Park is set to reopen, just a week after house-size boulders crashed down on it during last week's storm.

Park officials say the Big Oak Flat Road portion of Highway 120 will be cleared by 8 a.m. Saturday.

The park's roads and trails crew have been working to clear the busy highway used by visitors driving in from Northern California. The road will have a gravel surface for weekend traffic, and visitors are urged to drive slowly through the area.

During next week, the crew plans to close the road again to repave the damaged area.

Employee data at Redwood City hospital breached

 Officials with Sequoia Hospital in Redwood City say the names and Social Security numbers of nearly 400 hospital employees were inadvertently posted to a public website.

The San Mateo County Times reported the breach on Thursday. It occurred in October 2007, but the information was not removed until last month after hospital officials learned of the error.

The hospital says an employee at a firm it contracts with, Towers Watson, posted the information online. The posting was apparently unintentional, and none of the employees reported becoming victims of identity theft.

Hospital officials say the information was not prominently displayed but could have been accessed through a targeted Internet search.

Towers Watson said in a statement it regretted the breach and maintains a strong commitment to protecting clients' data.
