Just a few more points of note:
1. Deactivating your account does not delete your account. Facebook still has all of your data stored on its systems. A true delete of your account is a complicated process and it can take up to 14 days for the request to be processed. Even then, nobody outside the organization truly knows what they do with your data. With a deactivation you just have to log in and your account is instantly reactivated with all of its existing content in tact.
2. Security settings only limit which users can view certain content you upload (notes, pictures, wall posts, etc). All of that data is still stored on Facebook. You can't control whether or not advertisements are targeted to you based on that information.
3. Facebook applications are the easiest way to leak information. I wouldn't recommend installing any third party games or applications to your Facebook (IE Farmville, Guess Your Weight, etc) unless you're sure about how any why they use your data.

Jan 4 2012 - Blindside elbow to the jaw while playing pond hockey (no helmet, no mouthguard)
Took 3 days off work (plus 2 for the weekend), doctor said mild concussion and did not order a CT scan.
Felt symptom free for two days in late January and late February.
Decided to exercise (skating in January, light cycling in February) and symptoms returned with a bang.
March 15 2012: Medically cleared to return to action! Thank you all for your kind words and support. For those still suffering, know that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Stay positive and healthy
