In the Rose-Garden
IN THE ROSE-GARDEN by ROLAND LEIGHTON
Dew on the pink-flushed petals; Roseate wings unfurled; What can, I thought, be fairer In all the world?
Steps that were fain but faltered (What could she else have done?) Passed from the arbour's shadow Into the sun.
Noon and a scented glory, Golden and pink and red; 'What after all are roses To me?' I said.

The FDNY will add the names of nine FDNY members who have died of illnesses related to their work at the World Trade Center during and after the September 11th attacks to the World Trade Center Memorial Wall at FDNY Headquarters on Thursday, September 6, at 4 p.m. The World Trade Memorial Wall was unveiled in September of 2011 and currently lists the names of 55 FDNY members who have died of illnesses related to their work at the World Trade Center site.
"With each passing year since the attacks of September 11th, the number of FDNY members who have died as a direct result of their work at the World Trade Center continues to grow," said Fire Commissioner Salvatore J. Cassano. "Many illnesses, including cancer, continue to take the lives of active and retired members of the Department - Firefighters, EMTs and Paramedics - who not only selflessly rushed to rescue others on September 11th, but also returned for days, weeks and months afterwards to recover those whose lives were lost."
The inscription on the Memorial Wall reads: "DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF THOSE WHO BRAVELY SERVED THIS DEPARTMENT PROTECTING LIFE AND PROPERTY IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK IN THE RESCUE AND RECOVERY EFFORT AT MANHATTAN BOX 5-5-8087 WORLD TRADE CENTER"

I was listening to NFL radio "Moving the Chains" on the ride home today. The hosts are not just media guys, but former coaches, players, and managers. They are incredibly knowledgeable. The mentioned today that one of the reasons why CJ is running so well now is due to Hass. They said that Hass' experience and knowledge of the game allow for check downs and play changes in order to put CJ in the best position to succeed. Strangely enough the stats show that when Hass took over:
Locker starts: CJ averaged 15 yds per game
Hass starts: CJ averages 113 per
The hosts did say that they like Locker and he'll learn the game, but that Hass is just so far ahead in experience at this time.....enough that they would struggle starting Locker when healthy as long as Hass is playing well. They said that we are sitting with a great opportunity to make a Wildcard playoff run right now.
They see us beating the Colts, by the way.

By using egg substitutes instead of whole eggs and substituting vegetables for sausage and cheese, you cut out much of the fat and cholesterol in this breakfast burrito.
In a small skillet, add the chopped tomato, onion and corn. Cook over medium heat until the vegetables are soft and moisture has evaporated. Add the egg substitute and scramble with the vegetables until cooked through, about 3 minutes.
To serve, spread the egg mixture in the center of the tortilla and top with salsa. Fold in both sides of the tortilla up over the filling, then roll to close. Serve immediately.

Salem Station Improvements and Parking Garage
Project Overview:
The new Salem Station and Parking Garage will be fully accessible with a new 9-Car high level platform and a lobby with two elevators in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Station access includes an at-grade bus platform, taxi lane and kiss-and-ride drop-off/pick-up area, pedestrian sidewalks and a pedestrian bridge from Bridge Street to the elevators and stairs down to the platform. There will be station upgrades to seating, lighting, signage systems, site improvements and landscaping. The new parking garage is being designed with 714 spaces. The garage will include parking for electric vehicles, accessible parking on each level, zip car parking, motorcycle and bicycle parking, and a parking control system. The project will be implemented using the Construction Manager at Risk (CMR) alternative delivery method of procurement. The facility has been designed to comply with Executive Order 484 — Leading By Example: Clean Energy and Efficient Buildings. The garage is designed to use natural day-lighting and energy efficient lighting with an energy saving lighting control system.
The MBTA has worked closely with MassDOT and the City of Salem to design this Intermodal Facility to not preclude the possible future construction of a Transit Oriented Development (TOD) on the adjacent City of Salem surface parking lot
Good News:
Construction of the Salem Station Improvements and Parking Garage project began on July 19th. The project is currently on schedule to open one-half of the new commuter rail raised platform in the spring of 2014 and the second half of the new commuter rail raised platform and parking garage in early fall 2014.
What to Expect:
On August 12, 2013 the MBTA Salem Station Washington Street main stairway and half of the existing platform (closest to Washington Street) were closed to begin demolition and major construction of the new platform and parking garage.
During the next three months customers can expect to see the large granite foundations from the old locomotive roundhouse and turntable removed and placed in storage. Also, large drill rigs will install an excavation support system along the tracks and the foundation piers and the soil stabilization stone piers for the new garage. Concrete foundations for the garage will be poured on the deep foundations and customers will see the construction progress as this work develops.
The contractor will maintain the walkways and update signage for any changes to site access.
The MBTA understands and regrets the inconvenience caused by construction, but the result will be a new high-level platform open in the spring of 2014 with a full length new high-level platform and parking garage in fall 2014.
Please Note:
During construction accessible parking is being maintained at the platform as well as accessible drop off with a Registry of Motor Vehicle Accessible Placard. Registry of Motor Vehicle Accessible Placard's are available at the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicle website as follows:
Public Outreach:
Notifications of Public Meetings will be provided through announcements by the MBTA and MassDOT, in regional publications and on the City of Salem's website. The next public meeting will be held in September or October to provide an update on the construction and to address construction issues.
Useful Informational Tools:
A full list of travel alternatives with details on cost and access is available on www.BuildingSalem.com and the public can visit the MBTA's website - www.mbta.com - to sign up for "T Alerts" for the Newburyport/Rockport Line.

The Associated Press
BOSTON — The Boston Bruins acquired Jaromir Jagr from the Dallas Stars on Tuesday, hoping the 10th-leading goal scorer in NHL history can improve their shaky offense even at age 41.
In this Jan. 24, 2013 file photo, Dallas Stars' Jaromir Jagr (68), of Czech Republic, skates on the ice during warm ups before an NHL hockey game against the Chicago Blackhawks in Dallas. The Boston Bruins have added a big piece to their playoff run, acquiring forward Jagr from the Stars. The Stars confirmed the move on their website. Dallas will get two prospects and a second-round pick in return. (AP Photo/Tony Gutierrez)
His peak years far behind him, Jagr still should boost the Bruins weak power play as they gear up for the playoffs after missing out on their first choice to improve their attack.
The deal for two prospects and a draft pick came six days after the Bruins thought they obtained forward Jarome Iginla from the Calgary Flames, only to learn Iginla had been traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins.
"As you progress in years, obviously your skill set and other things ... lessen," Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli said, "but (Jagr's) game is still the strong power game and he's leading the (Stars) in scoring and you watch him play and you see a lot of what you used to see in him.
"I'm confident that Jaromir will accept whatever role he's given."
With wings Milan Lucic and Nathan Horton underachieving on offense this season, one of them could be dropped to the third line to make room for Jagr.
"Obviously, there's a need on the third line, but he's got a higher-line pedigree," Chiarelli said. "What I said to Jaromir was that we pride ourselves on four strong lines and he's an important part but not the (main) part to the success. So he can be on the third line."
Jagr was traded for forwards Lane MacDermid and Cody Payne, and a conditional second-round pick in this year's draft that becomes a first-rounder if the Bruins reach the Eastern Conference finals.
"In this process, through this player and the other player (Iginla), this whole trade period, teams have been asking for a lot of our different prospects," Chiarelli said. "If (there's) anything I can take away from this, it's that our prospects have some good value."
In his first season with the Stars, Jagr has 14 goals and 26 points.
Entering Tuesday night's game against the Ottawa Senators, Brad Marchand led the Bruins with 14 goals and Patrice Bergeron was first with 31 points. Jagr, who is expected to join the Bruins on Wednesday, has 679 career goals.
Jagr also has six power-play goals, twice as many as Bruins leaders Marchand and Tyler Seguin, and should help the team with the 24th-ranked power play in the NHL going into Tuesday's game.
With the trade deadline coming Wednesday and the Stars in 12th place in the Western Conference, they decided to trade a player who could become a free agent after the season.
"Jaromir Jagr produced as a consistent scorer for our team all year and we would like to thank him for his contributions to our hockey club," Dallas Stars general manager Joe Nieuwendyk said. "With our eye to the future, we have acquired some valuable assets that we believe strengthen our organization."
Jagr has won five scoring titles, 1998-99 league MVP honors and Stanley Cups in his first two NHL seasons, with the Penguins in 1990-91 and 1991-92, after they took him with the fifth pick in the 1990 draft.
But his strength and scoring ability could spark a Bruins team that was in fourth place in the East but ranked just seventh in the conference in goals — with only 17 in their past eight games — at the time of the trade.

Last November I attended the 2009 Charleston Conference: "Issues in Book and Serial Acquisitions." E-content, licensing, business models, and a host of other issues were discussed. There were several presentations on reference, one in particular titled "Interactive Reference," presented by Tom Beyer, director of publishing at iFactory, and myself. Part of the RDW Group, iFactory designs and engineers a variety of online products, including Sage Reference Online, Rosen's Teen Health & Wellness, and multiple Oxford products. During the presentation, Beyer discussed the state of online reference and the variety of interactive features that could be useful in the next-generation products. Beyer defined a reference product as "something that will answer our questions in a way that is authoritative, accurate, and comprehensible," and he suggested that "the reference platform should interact with us to do that job better." So just how should the reference platform interact with us? In any number of ways, but Beyer focused his discussion in two areas, content and the user.
Why do our reference products need interactive content, and how do we accomplish this? Everyone learns in a different way, so conveying a message in a variety of formats can increase comprehension. Sound, images, and videos are obvious ways to promote interactive content. Visualizing information, hearing the pronunciation of a word, or listening to the content in its entirety can be a tremendous help, particularly to those with learning or physical disabilities and ESL learners. Animation and simulations are also up-and-coming interactive features. As Beyer said, "It's one thing to say that a seashell is made of a simple mathematical equation, another to allow users to manipulate the parameters of the equation and see the different shells that result."
These interactive features aren't limited to supplementing content. They can also be used to draw connections between content. For example, looking at side-by-side comparisons of versions of the Bible, using interactive time lines and maps to browse content thematically or geographically rather than the traditional A–Z browse, and visualizing content through "spoke-and-wheel" connections all provide interactive access to reference content.
But what about the users? What possibilities exist in the interactive reference environment for them? It's obvious that advanced search screens are lost on most users, but simple searches and search widgets (some grouped by subject) provide easy access points to content. If librarians encourage users to begin searches in a reference database, is the next logical step to interconnect that search to journal databases? The technology certainly exists. Other interactive features for users include "did you mean?" spelling suggestions, internal links to related content, and the ability to save, e-mail, print, or download content with a formatted citation. Furthermore, one can establish a personal account, with features to save search histories, categorize content, and save notes. But are these interactive features being used? My guess is no, not by most end users. Social networking and Web 2.0 concepts are also possibilities. Tagging, sending content to Facebook, or e-mailing content to friends are examples where the technology is in place but not likely to be used in online reference products.
One area that should be explored is mobile search. As Beyer said during the presentation, "Where do we look for the future of reference interfaces? In a word: smartphones." Press releases from EBSCO and Alexander Street Press in late November demonstrate this trend with the launch of two mobile search services. What are the implications of mobile search? Search screens need to be smaller, or scalable, with limited Flash components because many smartphones aren't equipped. Moreover, will the mobile device be used to search, or will it be used to read content? The mobile search products of today offer both but put a significant focus on e-mail features so users can have access to content on a personal computer later.
Before the conference, I decided to test several of Beyer's theories about interactive reference by compiling a survey of 30 interactive features. The survey asked if the feature would be used by librarians, patrons, or both and also provided responses of "It's ridiculous" or "Cool, but nobody will use it." Ninety-three of 119 people (87 percent of them librarians, 12 percent vendors) finished the survey. Everyone responded favorably to all 30 features but gave the highest ratings to the 'did you mean?' spelling suggestions, citation builders, mobile devices, discipline-grouped content, video, and interconnectivity (searching journals). Another feature that received support was searching all reference content on a single platform, a concept I've advocated for a long time. Conversely, the features that received the least amount of support were internal social networking, linking to external Web 2.0 sites, sharing links, visual searching, sound, and sharing teaching aids among instructors or teachers.
Features aside, it was obvious from the presentation that the reference platform of today won't be the platform of tomorrow. The search options and interactive features are limited only by our imagination (and our wallets) because as technology improves, so does the interface. All we need to do now is ask the users which features they really want. More information on this presentation can be found on the No Shelf Required blog and the forthcoming Charleston Conference Proceedings, 2009.

eLearning by Numbers: The Sloodle Effect
Increase in student Retention*50%
Reduction in administrative workload on faculty80%
Improvement in Persistency**Schaffhauser (2008) writes:
Huntington Junior College (HJC) in West Virginia has gone public with its year-long early-adopter use of Campus Management's CampusLearning, a suite of services that provides for real-time, two-way integration between proprietary portals and student information systems and the Moodle open source course management systems. Campus Technology Article
Definition of Terms (from Martinez 2003):
Retention refers to the number of
learners or students who progress from
one part of an educational program to
the next. In higher education, this is normally
measured as enrollment from academic
year to academic year. In other
settings, retention may simply be the
inverse of the attrition rate. It may be
defined as the number of learners who
progress from one module to the next, or
from one certification to the next.
Persistence relates to the act of continuing toward an educational goal. In higher education, a "persister� is simply one who achieves a degree or certificate and graduates "on time.� In other institutions, persistence may not be the term of choice, and instead the issue is simply the number of individuals who complete the required course, modules, or criterion tests.

Comments about Delta 12-1/2" Variable-Speed Midi Lathe:
It really needs a digital readout for speedcontrol.
It is heavy so make sure you have some grunt help to set it up on stand or whatever
The machine just purrs along with sufficient power to do most anything you wish.

Comments about Delta 12-1/2" Variable-Speed Midi Lathe:
Great features and easy to use. 1hp motor has plenty of power. Would not bog down aggressively turning 3" maple cylinder.

Comments about Delta 12-1/2" Variable-Speed Midi Lathe:
My lathe was the older version but I only had it 4 years before the motor burned out. The Lathe had only been used for 4 years it sat in the back of a shop in the box for a bit longer. But it was a Delta It should be fine to buy Delta always stands by there products, so I thought. So I call to order a new motor None, they dont make them. And they leave me with a bad taste in my mouth not even willing to help me out. So much for the warranty, and standing behind your product. I will never buy another delta/ portercable product for my shop.

Comments about Delta 12-1/2" Variable-Speed Midi Lathe:
Variable speed is a bit limited in range requiring belt change for some types of work (lower initial speed than middle belt position with higher final speed than lowest belt position).

get answers from real customers and in-house experts with AnswerBox.
Can this tool be used to make pool cues? I am looking for my husband, & he says he needs a metal lathe. Is this a wood lathe?1 answer
Yes, this is a wood lathe. You would not be able to make pool cues just with the lathe only. You would need a bed extensions to add an additional 25-1/2" or 2 depending on the length of the cue sticks. Also, you would need a stand and and extension for the lathe and each of the bed extensions.Q:
Hello!1 answer
This is rated at 120 volts. It cannot be wired for 220 volts. Currently, we do not ship to Lithuania.Q:
Who is selling accessories for this product, Delta has only a few, Delrprotercable which they have in the manual is Portercable, Woodcraft no laonger has any Delta wood lathe product, why don't you offer a more complete list for them? Delta has the lathe pick as the best just by a hair and some one needs to support the product or they will drop just as woodturning is picking up.1 answer
We have a number of accessories for this lathe available here on our site.Q:
What length of stock can be turned without the bed extension?2 answers
Withouth e extension, the distance between centers is 16.5".A:
The larger end of the stock can be turned without the bed extension.DELTA will repair or replace, at it's expense, and it's option, any new DELTA machine, machine part, or machine accessory which in normal use has proven to be defective in workmanship or material, provided that the customer returns the product prepaid to a DELTA factory service center or authorized service station with proof of purchase of the product within 5 years and provides DELTA with reasonable opportunity to verify the alleged defect by inspection.

(.pdf) THE NORTHWEST REGIONAL NEWBORN SCREENING PROGRAM ALASKA PRACTITIONER'S MANUAL For those who are planning a hospital birth but want to evade invasive routine post natal procedures such as a Hep B shot, vitamin K injection, newborn screening, or the application of silver nitrate in the newborn's eyes, a very specific birthing plan must be submitted to the hospital in advance of the birth. Hospital staff must be informed, in advance, of your needs, wants and desires where your baby and birthing experience are concerned. The same applies to midwives. Steps:
Birth Plans (To be used with hospitals and/or midwives) (Links to model birth plan letters) Model Birth Plan Letter for Hospital Births. You can attach an exemption from immunizations. In some states, there are religious exemptions from newborn screening tests such as PKU, etc...

It would be good idea to use the AFFIDAVIT below AND a model birth plan letter from above above.
Affidavit - Birth Exemptions HTML (simple text) Affidavit to modify. (.doc) AFFIDAVIT in Microsoft Word format. (may be modified) Vitamin K Injection... The prescribing information on Vitamin K shot states that fatalities are an adverse reaction according to the Merck pharmaceutical package insert. "WARNING - INTRAVENOUS USE Severe reactions, including fatalities, have occurred during and immediately after the parenteral administration of AquaMEPHYTON® (Phytonadione)."Links to prescribing information for Vitamin K: http://vaclib.org/chapter/inserts.htm#vitK Merck Vitamin K Package Insert - Aquamephyton PI | Scribd The package insert should be printed out and used along with the birth plan letter, and your exemption letter or AFFIDAVIT. This shows the hospital or birthing center that you are aware of the risks of Vitamin K injection, and that they should be too. Alternatives to Vitamin K Prophylaxis... Although oral vitamin K is not licensed for use as a drug by the FDA, drops for oral administration are available. Typically, one drop contains 2 mg. of vitamin K. Contact a midwife in your area, or a birthing supply company (such as birthwithlove.com), or Scientific Botanicals (206 527-5521) where your health care provider can order liquid vitamin K directly. Here's another safe alternative that your chiropractor or naturopath can order for you. Or order directly from Amazon.com Biotics Research, Bio-K Mulsion - 1 fl oz A good organic whole food diet along with lots of leafy green vegetables is all that is necessary to prevent vitamin K deficiency in newborns. Hepatitis B Vaccine Most states now require the Hepatitis B vaccine for newborns. Many parents are also cornered by emergency room personnel during accident visits. Hospitals nationally are under pressure to utilize every opportunity to score a "hit." If your pediatrician understands your views, get him involved with the hospital. As a last resort, protect your right to receive quality care in by asking hospital personal to sign the following waiver. Usually, you'll never find anybody in the hospital to sign this simple form, but you well get relief from demands to vaccinate your child. "I certify that the (Name of Vaccine)________ vaccine being administered to (Name of Child)_________ is free from all known and yet unknown zoonotic or human viruses or viral fragments and will not cause acute or chronic illness in the recipient due to viral contamination or as a reaction to the components of this vaccine.

But Reliance's pending acquisition of Encore Group's service center companies will give it a strong presence in western Canada for the first time.
"This gives us exposure to an area of North America where we didn't have much exposure to start with," David H. Hannah, chief executive officer of Los Angeles-based Reliance, said in a brief telephone interview.

Several states have independent commissions that redraw legislative and congressional districts. Some have commissions for legislative redistricting only.
A few states have commissions that serve in advisory capacities, while in some states, independent commissions take over redistricting if the legislatures fail to enact plans by specified deadlines.
"My concern is, if we're going to have a commission, I want to make sure it's truly independent and not being beholden to those who appoint it," Unger said.
Redistricting -- which is required every 10 years to make districts conform with population changes reported by the U.S. Census -- was particularly contentious in 2011.
It prompted five lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of House and Senate redistricting plans. Those suits were dismissed by the state Supreme Court in November.
However, in a sixth lawsuit, a panel of federal district judges overturned the state's congressional redistricting plan in January as being unconstitutional.
Shortly after, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a stay of that order, pending arguments before the high court.
Unger said Tuesday that if the study of an independent redistricting commission moves forward, legislation could be enacted in time for such a commission to redraw Congressional districts for the 2014 elections, if the Supreme Court ultimately upholds the district court ruling.
The resolution calls for the Joint Committee to report its findings and recommendations, along with any draft legislation, to the full Legislature during the 2013 regular session.

I welcome all our readers across the world who are keenly interested in developments in Turkey and its immediate geographic vicinity. The editorial staff and I are well aware of the fact that this paper, in both its print and Web editions, is being closely followed by a great number of people all over the world on a daily basis. The reason is simple yet also complex: Turkey stands at the world's geographic and political crossroads. In recent years it has become one of the most closely followed and frequently discussed countries.
Turkey is increasingly becoming involved in world affairs, more than ever before, thanks to growing relations with the European Union, globalization, intercultural interactions and increasing economic and political interdependency among countries.
Global conflicts and tensions are growing and spreading, making communication among different societies, cultures, religions and languages necessary. Granted that Turkey is not immune to this process, we felt the need to establish a new mass media source that ensures credible news, objective analysis and trustworthy information for those interested in the country's social, economic, cultural and political development.
Today's Zaman, with an open-minded and visionary perspective, was born out of this necessity as an English-only newspaper in 2007. Within a year of its launch, Today's Zaman became the most-circulating English-language newspaper in Turkey, scoring substantial distance from its closest competitor. Its excellence was also confirmed by the presentation of 21 awards in the Society for News Design's (SND) annual "The Best of Newspaper Design Creative Competition." Today's Zaman won an "Award of Excellence" in the contest in 2008, following closely some of the world's most prestigious newspapers, such as the New York Times and the Guardian.
Today's Zaman is filled with national and international news in the fields of business, diplomacy, politics, culture, arts, sports and economics, in addition to commentaries, specials and features. We have entered contractual agreements with leading newspapers like the Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post and Project Syndicate to bring news and articles to our readers. We also enjoy the support of the Zaman media conglomerate and its sister agency, the Cihan News Agency, as well as feeds from The Associated Press, Reuters, the Anatolian news agency and ANKA.
Today's Zaman is published six days a week in full 20-page color and features a weekend edition on Sunday (Sunday's Zaman) with a different look and feel. Its weekend edition focuses on in-depth analyses, commentaries, op-eds, features and specials on cultural and social events and items on leisure and entertainment.
The Zaman conglomerate's unique home delivery system gives Today's Zaman a distribution area that no other English-language daily in Turkey could hope to compete against.
We value our readers and enjoy your patronage. Feel free to contact us with your thoughts, suggestions and criticism and share your feedback with us.
Warmest regards,
Bülent Keneş

"Dont judge someone just because they sin differently then you. In Matthew 7:3, Jesus asks "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?" This design explains the intensity of hypocrisy that anyone can have. Rather than paying attention to other people's shortcomings, let us examine our own lives through God's eyes. It is only after doing this that we can help others in love and humility as Christ did.

Just walking down a city street these days leaves behind enough digital bread crumbs to make Hansel and Gretel envious. Surveillance cameras capture your image, your mobile phone is playing its self-identified part as a personal tracking device every time it "pings" the nearest cell tower. That awesome picture of the street musician you snapped with your camera phone and just sent to Instagram likely contains enough GPS and meta data to point-point your location with dazzling accuracy. What happens to all those digital "bread crumbs"? Where does it all go? Who has access to it? And can you control any of that? Enter Data Privacy Day. Data Privacy Day--begun in 2008 and held each year on this day--strives to make people "aware of the personal and private data others have entrusted to us and remain vigilant and proactive about protecting it." The official website defines the goal for the day as: "An effort to empower people to protect their privacy and control their digital footprint and escalate the protection of privacy and data as everyone's priority."

There will be some new faces next year. But with the Administration and both houses of Congress remaining in the same hands, the election's main outcome for tech policy is that there won't be any immediate U-turns or game-changers in the ongoing debates over important issues like cybersecurity, privacy, and Internet neutrality. A second-term for Obama means that the Administration's existing technology policy initiatives can continue. The Administration can keep working on an executive order to address cybersecurity. NTIA can proceed with its multistakeholder effort to flesh out some privacy principles for the world of mobile computing. The FTC can continue to be aggressive on privacy issues. The FCC will continue to back Internet neutrality safeguards, subject to the legal challenge currently underway in court. Read more »
Facial recognition technology is both increasingly useful and increasingly problematic. The technology is widely available and easy to use. It is being applied to photo tagging, to targeting advertisements in stores, and to computer security and authentication. Facial recognition once required access to large databases of photographs and significant computing power available only to large corporations and governments. Today it is available in free software packages and in the handheld computing devices that millions of us use every day. This week the Federal Trade Commission released, "Facing Facts: Best Practices for Common Uses of Facial Recognition Technologies," a report aimed at the growing number of companies using the technology. The report is intended to a guidebook for developers on how to better protect consumer privacy as they build new products and services designed around facial recognition technology. Ahead of the FTC report, CDT released its own report on facial recognition that compares how the U.S. and E.U. treat the technology with respect to the law and policy making. Throughout the report, the FTC cites the comments CDT submitted in December, 2011. We feel that the guidance here from FTC is timely and reflects a measured balance with respect to consumer privacy without impeding the amazing innovation the facial recognition market is developing and deploying.

The widespread adoption of smartphones and tablets raises important issues about how to best protect consumer privacy. Today, CDT is releasing a paper that continues our analysis of the mobile ecosystem, examining the privacy and other liability issues raised when mobile platforms act as intermediaries, hosting third party apps that access user data. Our paper analyzes the current state of the law in the United States, the European Union, and Canada. We begin by describing how both the makers of mobile operating systems and independent developers can create and publish apps that give users a range of choices to enhance the built-in functions of their devices. We note that, in many ways, this feature of mobile devices mirrors capabilities of desktop programs and web services, where it is clear that hardware makers and operating systems are not liable for the conduct of third party apps. Turning to the laws that might apply to the mobile ecosystem in the US, we analyze basic principles of contract and liability law, as well as the special role of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (which protects against civil liability intermediaries that act in good faith) and Section 512 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (which provides a safe harbor for intermediaries from copyright infringement claims, provided that the intermediary complies with notice-and-takedown procedures). We conclude that, under US law, it is quite clear that platform operators are not liable for the conduct of independent third party apps. Read more »
For nearly two years now, industry and advocates have been discussing how to implement "Do Not Track" — a setting in browsers that would allow companies to serve ads while limiting the collection of personal information about users. This week, dozens of ad industry representatives, browser makers, and consumer advocates are gathering in Amsterdam during a World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) meeting to fine tune the details of how such a setting will work. However, in recent days, we have suddenly seen an all-out blitz of attacks on Do Not Track, both in Washington and Silicon Valley decrying Do Not Track as a disaster that would destroy the advertising-supported web. This sudden onslaught of debate targeting the merits of Do Not Track is surprising, as the advertising industry already voluntarily agreed to deploy Do Not Track by the end of this year. At a White House event in February, the Digital Advertising Alliance — the umbrella self-regulatory group consisting of the Interactive Advertising Bureau, Network Advertising Initiative, Better Business Bureau and others — publicly committed to honor browser-based signals to control "online behavioral advertising . . . and all other collection and use of web viewing data" (emphasis in original).
Mobile applications are coming to the market in staggering numbers — 2,000 day by one account. And these apps are being developed in an environment where privacy is too often an afterthought. The Commerce Department today is holding the first in a series of high profile forums aimed at developing "an open, transparent, consensus-driven process to develop a code of conduct regarding mobile app transparency," according the National Telecommunications & Information Administration (NTIA), the agency hosting the meetings.
Consumers consistently rank mobile apps among the most worrisome when it comes to privacy concerns, and it's no surprise why. Media attention has highlighted privacy pitfalls and class action lawsuits have prompted state and federal regulators to take a closer look at app developers data practices.
Against the backdrop of the NTIA meeting, CDT and the Future of Privacy Forum have released a "best practices" guide for mobile app developers dealing with building privacy into their products.
On Tuesday, CDT received some long hoped-for news from the Federal Trade Commission: The FTC had announced an $800,000 settlement with the online data broker Spokeo over Fair Credit Reporting Act violations. Two years ago, I spent several weeks studying and documenting Spokeo's abusive and illegal practices. CDT contacted Spokeo in an effort to get them to fix their (many) problems but without success; we eventually filed a complaint with the FTC over Spokeo's business practices in June of 2010. The announced settlement is important because it sheds light on the extremely difficult question of what limits can (and should) be put on the use of publicly available information in the social media age.

The Internet is running out of address space and it appears that the solution has narrowly avoided a technical issue that carried serious implications for consumer privacy.
Now that Congress' demand to put drones in the air over America is law, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) must write the rules governing the operation of civilian and government drones.
The new drone law contains a tangle of dates and deadlines for those rules. The "countdown" in the law is confusing to sort out, but the deadlines are key to understanding how drones will be phased into our airspace and our lives.
(CDT has outlined a legislative proposal to protect privacy as drones are deployed over the U.S.)
The FAA has issued more than 300 temporary licenses - mostly to law enforcement agencies and research institutions. The new law - officially titled the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 or P.L. 112-95 - requires the Dept. of Transportation (DOT) and the FAA to 1) expedite the current licensing process for government and non-government drones and make the process permanent, 2) establish rules for the certification and operation of drones, and 3) oversee the full integration of government and non-government drones in U.S. airspace.
Updated 05/04/12
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued more than 300 licenses to fly drones in the U.S. The FAA is ready to start issuing a lot more drone licenses, now that Congress passed a law requiring the agency to open the skies to government and private drones of all kinds within a few years. Yet nothing in the drone law requires the government to create any civil liberties protections.
(CDT has made a timeline of deadlines for drone rules that are required by the law.)
The drone law – officially titled the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 or P.L. 112-95 – requires the FAA to conduct studies on the safe use of drones, as well as develop operation rules and certification standards. These studies and rules could cover privacy issues, but the FAA may claim it only has authority over traditional safety issues, such as making sure drones don't crash into airplanes. The FAA is more likely to leave the task of developing privacy rules for drones to Congress or, perhaps, the Department of Transportation (DOT).

Some degree of government surveillance and secrecy is necessary to protect against national security threats. However, overbroad government power to conduct mass surveillance with minimal transparency threatens Constitutional freedoms and inhibits meaningful public debate. Here are four – but not the only – needed national security surveillance reforms that the Administration and Congress should tackle now.

To Share or Not to Share
File sharing has changed the way students get music and raised a question: whose music is it, anyways?
By Gerry Boyle '78
Published August 9, 2004
The file-sharing cat is out of the bag and subpoenas, lawsuits and bandwidth restrictions won't stuff the cat back in. You might as well have told Alexander Graham Bell to stop talking on the telephone.
Marley Orr has heard all of the arguments against downloading music and has gotten the occasional lecture from her older brother, a professional jazz musician. He argues that recorded music is the artist's property and taking it is flat-out wrong. But Orr contends that file sharing is part of the culture, the best way to keep up with what is new and cool in music, and it provides a way to sample music without buying entire CDs for single songs. "People are one-hit wonders," Orr said. "I can get the one Avril Lavigne song I do like and forget about her."
Besides, she said, "most of the artists I download are dead. Stevie Ray Vaughn is not coming back."
In fact, many college-age music downloaders do feel an obligation to support musicians by buying their CDs. But the bigger the artist, the smaller the obligation. "With most independent music, indie rock and a lot of punk rock, too, it's sort of a moral commitment to support the artist through CD sales," Dupuy said. "Much more than your Top Forty artist. I don't think downloading has hurt them. For independent artists, it's a huge boost."
In other words, Outkast is seen as fair game for downloading. But Dupuy's favorite band, The Flower Kings? Go buy the CD.
Andrew Will said he simply can't afford to buy every CD that he might like, though he does believe in supporting up-and-coming artists who need a fan base. He also is loyal to certain artists,Dave Matthews, Ben Folds,and owns all of their CDs. But that leaves a wide swath of music to peruse and share. "I think music is a fantastic thing and it should be out there," Will said. "That's kind of how I justify it to myself."
But are students sidestepping the ethical questions associated with illegal file sharing? Isn't there something wrong with taking an artist's work without paying for it?
Maybe, but there are reasons why file sharing so easily falls into a gray area, said Cheshire Calhoun, Dana Professor of Philosophy at Colby. For one, people who share music files know they're not alone and therefore can fall under the influence of what Calhoun and other philosophers call "moral drift." So many people are engaged in the same activity that it no longer seems unethical. "This is so conventionalized that it is very difficult to have a sense that what you're doing is wrong," Calhoun said.
In addition, harm done by file sharing is produced by many, many people acting collectively so one person's actions seem minuscule and relatively harmless, she said. The fact that file sharing is something done by so many people also makes it less likely that individuals will refrain of their own volition. "Why should I restrain myself when there's no guarantee that other people are going to restrain themselves?" Calhoun said. Add to that the natural tendency for people to discount harm done to someone or something that is out of sight and you've got a problem.
But Calhoun points out that consumers who download music for free may be holding a double standard in that their access to free music is dependent on many other people actually buying music. A file sharer doesn't want the industry to suffer and record fewer artists. "They need for there to continue to be lots of people who are still buying CDs," Calhoun said. "But they want to make an exception for themselves. . . . They become free riders on other people's purchases."

IT managers: Develop a private cloud strategy with no lock-in
Intense business demands are driving IT to adopt and use cloud technologies and architectures. But in IT's haste to deliver quick solutions, it can select cloud technologies and vendors in isolation, raising the risk of new infrastructure silos and vendor lock-in.
Deliver cloud results fast without lock-in or added complexity
Avoid locking your organization in to a single vendor's cloud ecosystem and adding IT complexity. Instead, modernize your infrastructure and deliver the flexibility and agility promised by cloud in a practical way—that takes advantage of your existing investments.
Join this webinar to learn strategic considerations for evaluating cloud offerings that deliver results quickly and provide:
- Interoperability to develop and run a diverse set of applications and business services across heterogeneous infrastructures.
- Portability to move applications and data to an in-house or external provider.
- Access to innovation.
- Agility to respond to modern business needs.
Red Hatters Gordon Haff and Joe Fitzgerald explain how to evaluate cloud solutions that provide choice and consistent value while rapidly delivering results.
