Your email is important to you, and making sure it stays safe and always available is important to us. As you go about your day reading, writing and checking messages, there are tons of security measures running behind the scenes to keep your email safe, secure, and there whenever you need it.
Starting today, Gmail will always use an encrypted HTTPS connection when you check or send email. Gmail has supported HTTPS since the day it launched, and in 2010 we made HTTPS the default. Today's change means that no one can listen in on your messages as they go back and forth between you and Gmail?s servers?no matter if you're using public WiFi or logging in from your computer, phone or tablet.
In addition, every single email message you send or receive?100 percent of them?is encrypted while moving internally. This ensures that your messages are safe not only when they move between you and Gmail's servers, but also as they move between Google's data centers?something we made a top priority after last summer?s revelations.
Of course, being able to access your email is just as important as keeping it safe and secure. In 2013, Gmail was available 99.978 percent of the time, which averages to less than two hours of disruption for a user for the entire year. Our engineering experts look after Google's services 24x7 and if a problem ever arises, they're on the case immediately. We keep you informed by posting updates on the Apps Status Dashboard until the issue is fixed, and we always conduct a full analysis on the problem to prevent it from happening again.
Our commitment to the security and reliability of your email is absolute, and we?re constantly working on ways to improve. You can learn about additional ways to keep yourself safe online, like creating strong passwords and enabling 2-step verification, by visiting the Security Center: https://www.google.com/help/security.

Goldstein spent much of his childhood stuttering, wetting the bed, getting beaten up by bullies and amassing the portfolio of grudges that would fuel his passions.

Mr. But as time went on and hard-core pornography became widely available, the magazine seemed less and less radical, and he began losing interest.

His survivors include his son. Goldstein served in the Army, captained the debate team at Pace College and briefly followed his father"s footsteps into photojournalism, taking pictures of Jacqueline Kennedy on a 1962 state trip to Pakistan and spending several days in a Cuban prison for taking unauthorized photos of Fidel Castro"s brother, Ra??l. Sex as depicted in Screw was seldom pretty, romantic or even particularly sexy. He married miserably, sold insurance successfully by day and sought solace in pornographic movie houses and brothels by night.
Mr. Mr. "Goldstein"s contribution is to be utterly tasteless."
Mr. Goldstein did not invent the dirty magazine, but he was the first to present it to a wide audience without the slightest pretense of classiness or subtlety.

The manifesto in Screw"s debut issue in 1968 was succinct. Goldstein was long estranged from his fifth wife, Christine.
Alvin Goldstein was born on Jan. Mr.
This article has been revised to reflect the following correction:
An earlier version of this obituary misstated the location of the Manhattan townhouse Mr. "We promise never to ink out a pubic hair or chalk out an organ," it read. It was, primarily, a business, with consumers and suppliers like any other.
His long decline found him bouncing from his mudanzas especiales en mendoza in-laws" floor in Queens to Veterans Affairs hospitals to a cramped apartment on Staten Island paid for by his friend, the magician Penn Jillette, to the Brooklyn nursing home where he spent most of his final years.
An earlier version of this obituary misstated the name of a movie Mr. Before then, one legal test for obscenity was whether a publication was "utterly without redeeming social value." The 1973 decision broadened the definition to include material that lacked "serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value," and it empowered communities to set local standards for whether such material was obscene.. Goldstein said.
And at age 69, he was nominated for best supporting actor at the Adult Video News Awards for his age-defying role in "Al Goldstein & Ron Jeremy Are Screwed."
"I"m infantile, compulsive, always acting out my fantasies," he told Playboy in 1974.
