except in limited fashion. For example: (l) the names of minor
children should not be used, only their initials; (2) only the last
four digits of a social security number should be used; (3) a full
date of birth should not be used, only the year of birth need be
given; (4) only the last four digits of any financial account
should be included; and (5) in criminal cases, only the city and
