In this guide, you'll find summaries of the key legal considerations of using Facebook in an FE and HE context. Details on how to access further guidance can be found at the end.
Facebook is a social networking website that allows individuals to set up an online profile, add other users as friends, and exchange messages. Users can post personal information, upload photographs, describe their interests, and link to other profiles and pages. The choice to create a profile in a network means that those connected to that network can view that profile. Users can search for friends by name, location, email or institution.
Many FE and HE institutions use the popularity of Facebook to engage with learners for educational purposes. This might include a tutor setting up a facebook group with learners.If learners and staff are using Facebook via your institution's computer networks, then it's necessary to have a number of safeguards, procedures and support mechanisms in place. You will also need to have procedures in place to handle incidents of unacceptable Facebook usage. This could range from simple offensive behaviour to behaviour that is considered criminal in nature, such as racist abuse. If a student or staff member experiences online abuse via Facebook, it is necessary to have support mechanisms in place to ensure that they receive the appropriate assistance. It may be just a matter of ensuring that existing support mechanisms are alert to the nature of incidents that may result from Facebook, as well as ensuring that users are aware of the support available.It is necessary for your institution to be able to handle such incidents quickly and efficiently. It's also worth bearing in mind that Facebook content can be removed quickly, so having a detailed understanding of the procedures for doing so is a necessary component of handling such incidents.
It is generally accepted that FE and HE institutions have a legal duty of care to their students and staff in their use of IT systems, in particular, internet and email facilities. Essentially, this means that the college is required to not cause harm to learners where it is reasonably foreseeable. Best practice suggests that when considering using Facebook as a learning tool, colleges must carry out a risk assessment in order to detect foreseeable harm and decide what can reasonably be done to prevent it. It's worth bearing in mind that a higher standard of care will be expected when young or vulnerable learners are involved. It's very important that your institution has a comprehensive internet and email acceptable use policy (AUP) in place. This should set out what usage is considered appropriate and acceptable. This policy should be widely publicised to raise awareness of the conditions of use and copies should be made available to all users. It is also important that the policy is enforced and its compliance monitored. A good AUP policy and standard process for dealing with any inappropriate content (a take down policy - see the Hosting Liability section) will demonstrate your institution's commitment to providing a safe environment for learners and staff. Colleges should adopt a policy that is appropriate to how their own learners and staff actually make use of the institution's technology. See our resources on e-safety and hosting liability: www.jisclegal.ac.uk/eSafety. Facebook set out their terms of use, including those relating to safety (section 3): www.facebook.com/terms.php.
Staff and learners may use blogs, wikis, and social networking sites to share personal information. Where colleges play the role of facilitating or hosting these social media environments, they are under an increased obligation to safeguard the personal data that users post. FE and HE institutions need to be aware of their obligations under the Data Protection Act 1998. This means that personal data must be processed fairly and lawfully. The act applies to all personal data relating to an identifiable living individual. It includes data about an individual's race or ethnic origin, political opinion, religious beliefs, trade union membership, physical or mental health, sex life, criminal proceedings or convictions. Even just identifying people online can breach data protection legislation. If the information disclosed is sensitive personal data then the breach is likely to be considered especially serious. For personal data that your university or college collects from learners and staff, the institution remains the data controller and responsible for data protection compliance. If you engage an external provider to process personal data on your behalf, then they are the data processors and you should restrict them to processing in accordance with how you direct. You must also ensure that they comply with your requirements - this is usually done by means of a data processor agreement. For any personal data that an external service provider collects from your staff and learners, the provider is the data controller. As such, you are not responsible for data protection compliance with regard to that data, rather, the provider is responsible. However, it is recommended that because of the nature of the relationship between the institution and the learner or staff member, there is an obligation on the institution to make users aware of the risks associated with using social networking sites and making their private information available online. IT support staff are central to implementing and maintaining a culture of compliance with regard to data protection and the privacy of individuals. Security is a core responsibility. It is when exercising this responsibility that possible breaches of data protection and privacy may be disclosed in the Facebook environment.
College staff may play a key role in implementing Social media learning and teaching platforms by means of social networking tools. Issues can arise with regard to expectations of privacy. Users may assume that the environment provides a higher level of privacy than is actually the case based on the default privacy settings. "I thought it was a private group" is a common remark. For example, learning resource staff may choose to communicate with learners using Facebook, but some learners may not wish to sign up because they have privacy concerns. There have also been incidents in which apparently technically aware learners have put home address details on their Facebook page and then disclosed that they will be going away on holiday. If staff recommend that learners use these tools, they should make sure that learners are aware of how to protect their own privacy. Learners should be aware of what they have signed up to, particularly with regard to how Facebook may use their data. The onus is on your institution to inform learners of the risks and of the rights of the external service to hold and use their data. If a learner is uncomfortable with this, they should be offered alternatives.Staff should acquaint themselves with the principles of fair and lawful processing of personal data. They should also alert users to the risks of sharing personal data on social networking teaching platforms.
Facebook encourages contributions by users. If employees, as part of their employment, contribute content on work related matters in their working hours, it is likely that under UK copyright law the content they contribute will belong to their employer. With a number of copyright owners, identification of individual authors may be a very important issue but at the same would prove to be difficult if their individual contributions are not distinct. Therefore, it is recommended that these issues are addressed early on in the process of adopting Facebook as an educational tool. Suggested techniques to help avoid copyright confusion include having a policy on copyright ownership from the outset. This will make it clear to staff and learners who owns what in terms of intellectual property when material is jointly created.Infringing other people's copyright is also a risk with Facebook. Publishing images and other content without the permission of the owner can be damaging. Increasing awareness of the risks of copyright infringement for users should be part of the preparation for its use by learners and staff.
The essence of Social media is the ability of a user to publish and edit content. Liability can arise for the posting of inaccurate, defamatory and copyright infringing content. Risks can also arise for actions by staff or learners for bullying, harassment and stalking carried out through the medium of Facebook.
Where colleges lack the resources to verify the accuracy or completeness of the information or to edit the content prior to uploading it, there is a risk that the content submitted is inaccurate or misleading. The risks associated with inaccurate information include the possibility that the college could be held liable if users act based on the inaccurate information published.
Use of Facebook is usually on a non controlled basis - i.e. no editorial control is carried out before content is published. UK defamation laws therefore will apply to the published content as will the "notice and take down" principle established and reaffirmed in UK case law. Employers also recognise the value of blogs and increasingly encourage blogging (for example, for research or as a marketing tool) by their employees. Similar situations at colleges could place them at risk of being held vicariously liable for the actions of their employees with regard to defaming statements made on the social networking platform. Defamation is, essentially, concerned with the publication of lies or untruths and a defamatory statement is one which lowers the claimant in the estimation of right thinking members of society. Where there is neither actual knowledge of the defamation nor awareness of any facts or circumstances from which an FE or HE institution could reasonably have been expected to be aware of it, and the institution has taken reasonable care in relation to publication of the statement in question, the institution is unlikely to be held liable. Upon receipt of notice of a claimed defamation, the institution should, of course, remove the posting straight away pending an investigation.
The same is largely true with regard to copyright infringing content. If the institution could not reasonably be expected to be aware of the infringing content as it is being published and acts promptly to remove infringing content, then it is unlikely to be held liable. This assumes that it has a culture of compliance with the law of copyright and engages in awareness raising and training with regard to the law of copyright for its users.
Social networking websites may increase instances of victimisation through their ease of sharing of comments, video and photographs. As above, it is necessary to have appropriate practices and procedures in place to facilitate lawful use of the learning environment and provide support for those who are affected. The Police may need to be informed and behaviour of this nature can be criminal offences and in England and Wales will be offences under the Harassment Act 1997 and in Scotland may be considered to be a Breach of the Peace under Common Law.
It is important that an institution acts promptly when it becomes aware of a potential legal liability online. It is important that those encouraging the use of Facebook in the learning environment, and, in particular, those exercising control over or moderating content, have a clear mechanism to alert the institution when a question of liability occurs. See the information on our website on Hosting Liability: www.jisclegal.ac.uk/HostingLiability
The institution should, of course, remove the suspect content straight away pending an investigation.
Since October 2010, institutions have been complying with The Equality Act 2010 with regard to disability discrimination. The Act applies to FE and HE institutions as service providers, employers and educational service providers. The law is framed in general terms and is not intended to prevent or place barriers in the way of innovative use of technology. Reasonable adjustments should be made wherever possible to prevent substantial disadvantage. The legislation reinforces the expectation and requirement that FE and HE institutions should be anticipatory and proactive in encouraging disabled persons to participate in tertiary education activities. In general terms, this means that if Facebook is used to provide information, then wherever possible there should be accessible alternatives or workarounds offered to those who require them. The learning tools may change but there is still the same requirement for accessibility. Essentially, it is unlawful to discriminate against staff, learners and other users and visitors to a college or university because of a disability. It is a specific requirement under the Equality Act 2010 that information is accessible to all users.
Furthermore, the general Public Sector Equality Duty requires that institutions have systems in place to promote compliance. Staff in all areas of your institution should be made aware of their obligations under the Act to promote and aid accessibility for all wherever possible.
Facebook and social networking brings greater user control and ease of communication, however, this brings with it a corresponding increase in risk of infringement of copyright law or breach of data protection law. It also raises issues in terms of liability and accessibility.
It is important to remember that users are already required to use any new technology, including Facebook, appropriately. They must comply with the JANET Acceptable Use Policy: www.ja.net/company/policies/aup.html.
Where learners and staff engage in non-curricular online activities using institutional computers, it is essential that such activities are compliant with the terms of the institution's policy. Any breaches should be responded to in line with the procedures outlined in the 'Acceptable Use Policy' of the institution. This should be technology neutral and apply equally to the Facebook environment.

My Hood: Midtown
by Jason Orme February 6, 2014
Understanding place is a significant win for any brand, and I for one want to feel a sense of ownership over the shops I frequent.
The 3 different apartments I have lived in since moving to Atlanta in 2010 have all been within a 3 block radius of the corner of 5th and Myrtle. Midtown is a vibrant area of the city with plenty to offer. The sidewalks and mixed usage make it a neighborhood that is hard to leave. You just can't beat a good walk up through "the park" over to Trader Joe's for some goodies. Double points if you checkout in the Piedmont lane. From the High Museum to Grady High School, and from the Fox to Fed, the the assets of Midtown cover an impressive spectrum.
If I could change anything about Midtown, I would (probably hypocritically at some level) want less corporate enterprise and more local establishments. While there is diversity of utility, there seems to be a lack of diversity in stage of companies. L&M Service Market, Empire State South, and Sig Samuels are great examples of places that have their unique mix of age, personality, and charm. Most of the businesses around this area do not fall into that category. Don't get me wrong, I love Five Guys and Krispy Kreme for sure, but I would trade most of the chain stores and restaurants for ones that felt more inspired and contextualized.
Understanding place is a significant win for any brand, and I for one want to feel a sense of ownership over the shops I frequent. It's always been a goal of mine to be a "regular." Midtown is full of opportunity and empty storefronts just waiting for those businesses looking to establish a local following against the cookie cutter, big box brands. And that's a Midtown that I would be proud to show off and parade around.

Was sitting in my new toy the other day reading the owner's manual and learning how to drive a very fast computer and I used the manual on/off option for the driver's side dome light. It broke! The light still works, but when I push it in to manually turn it on I can feel that it doesn't "click". All the other dome lights work. I suspect that this manual off/on feature is not one that many of us use regularly, but you should check its functionality. I was using it to light the owner's manual during gloaming and turned it off and on 3-4 times. Dunno if the regular use stressed it or it was just bad luck. The outstanding service dept. in San Diego will get it fixed. A minor issue, but one worth looking into. Hope it's not a manufacturing flaw that will become more apparent as more folks use it and a massive fix has to occur. Beat the rush and check it now!
You don't know your own strength.
Side note, I noticed my dome lights in the front fade off when clicked while the rear ones turn off immediately. Just an observation.
Huh! An ergonomic refinement, no doubt. Gives the drivers eyes time to adjust. Not so important with passengers!

Sport chiefs are frustrated once more in land battle
Posted: August 27, 2014|
ONE of the top bosses at Oldfields Sport and Social Club claims attempts to secure funding is 'getting them nowhere' in their bid for vital land where youngsters can play sport.
As revealed last week, the Football Association (FA) and Rugby Football Union (RFU) have both pledged to help secure funding to help Uttoxeter's clubs set up facilities on land at Mount Pleasant.
Uttoxeter Town FC and Uttoxeter RFC have just one pitch each at Oldfields and have completely outgrown the historic ground.
But Staffordshire County Council, which owns the land, is still insisting it need to sell the land for housing for the elderly.
The council's plan flies in the face of 10,000 people who signed a petition against housing at Mount Pleasant - as well as both Uttoxeter's parliamentary candidates and the FA and RFU.
Now Oldfields boss Gordon Richardson has spoken of his frustration at the council's stubbornness.
He said: "The FA and RFU were involved in talks with our MP Andrew Griffiths and the Oldfields committee about restoration of the Mount Pleasant land.
"At the meeting, the FA and RFU committed to assist the club through Sport England funding to create two pitches, one for the football and one for rugby, at Mount Pleasant.
"This generous offer was sent to Staffordshire County Council but was never taken into account and they still rejected our request for this land.
"For 20 years Oldfields Club has grown by improving its facilities without much need for council help and this ethos was to continue with the additional land.
"We are not asking the council for funding and we are trying to remove any potential cost barriers
"But this does not seem to have got us anywhere.
"If the major sports bodies of this country are willing to help us, why isn't Staffordshire County Council?"
Mount Pleasant, in Stone Road, is the only available land in Uttoxeter.
Last month, Uttoxeter MP Andrew Griffiths said his Tory colleagues at the council had made 'the wrong call' – a sentiment echoed by his Labour parliamentary opponent, Jon Wheale.
Staffordshire FA football development officer Gareth Thomas said his body was concerned about the future of sport in Uttoxeter.
He said: "This land would increase provision and that's one of our goals.
"The growth and retention of our clubs is a massive priority and we're concerned about the situation in Uttoxeter.
"With the land at Mount Pleasant, they can add new teams and get more youngsters playing football, which I think everyone agrees would be a positive move.
"Then we can start to help them access funding, in conjunction with the RFU, to develop the land and get it up to scratch."
Simon Hincks, RFU rugby development officer for Staffordshire, said: "Uttoxeter RFC has gone from having 50 youngsters playing to 150 in the space of about three weeks.
"They're now absolutely at saturation point and can't grow any further, let alone sustain what they're currently doing, unless they get more land.
"This is a very rare opportunity and, with the World Cup coming in England next autumn, I'd expect a massive surge in youngsters looking to join the club.
"If they don't have a good experience because of a lack of facilities, they'll decide against taking up the sport.
"Either that or they will be lost to clubs in Burton or Stoke-on-Trent, which is already happening.
"If the council has any concern about kids taking up sport and being part of teams, as well as getting healthy and active, it will allow some of the land to go to Uttoxeter Town FC and Uttoxeter RFU.
"If the land is secured, I know Staffordshire RFU will view Uttoxeter RFC as a key priority and funding would be sought to help set up the land for rugby use."

HERRINGS Through write-in votes, an entire new board was elected for the village in November. Newcomer Christal L. Loeffler was elected mayor and former board members James D. Camidge and David M. Arnold were elected trustees. The trio conducted its first meeting Monday following a Deferiet-Herrings Water Commission meeting.
Mayor Loeffler said she wanted the board updated on the joint water project with the village of Deferiet, so she invited representatives of Bernier, Carr and Associates, Watertown, to the meeting.
Mr. Arnold pointed out the water project began when he was mayor. He served from 1998 to 2010, resigning for medical reasons. Im happy with the project. We definitely need it, he said. We dont drink the water here.
Mr. Camidge agreed, noting he was glad its a joint project we could not do it on our own. Mrs. Loeffler said she was excited about the progress of the water project.
Its a disadvantage not having clean water and very frustrating, she said. Relating what Bernier, Carr had reported, the mayor said there are a few more easements to be signed until the village can move forward with construction, which should take three to four months. The engineering firm estimated the project should be completed by the end of the year.
The new board is beginning to reorganize village affairs.
It has hired a new clerk, Steven H. Fitzgerald, following the resignation of Nancy J. Gerber. It terminated village maintenance employee Richard A. Beirman Jr. and hired Patrick OShaughnessy. Larry J. Dobransky was hired to plow the village streets.
Mr. Arnold said the new board has spent the past month getting the village paperwork in order and has found some discrepancies where bills were not paid. I am grateful for the experience and expertise of Mr. Arnold, the new mayor said.
The village also has had equipment failure with its snowplow and has made arrangements with the town of Wilna and village of Deferiet to have the streets maintained.
The new village board said it has begun reviewing the budget to make changes in the new fiscal year.
Mrs. Loeffler said it will plan to set aside funds to have the roof replaced on the municipal building and hopes to set up a reserve fund to cover emergencies.
When asked about talk of dissolving the village, the new board was adamantly opposed.
Were not interested, the mayor said. I dont think the residents want it.
It would have to be brought up to a public vote and it would never pass, Mr. Arnold said. Only a select few want it.
No one has ever come to me about it, Mr. Camidge said.
I think people get discouraged and then the talk begins, but most dont want it, Mrs. Loeffler said.
The new board members said they will continue to pressure the federal government to clean up the former Crown Cleaners site.
Its an eyesore, Mrs. Loeffler said.
Well keep pushing, Mr. Arnold said, adding he also would like to see the sharp curve in the road near the former dry cleaning plant straightened out.
Mr. Camidge said his big goal for his time in office will be to get things back the way it was.
He said everyone used to get along in the small village.
Theres a lot of bickering lately, he said. We need to get back on track where neighbors get along and also get financially back on track.
During the business meeting, the board voted to change the meeting time. The board will meet at 7:30 p.m. the first Monday of the month at the municipal building, 35983 Route 3, with the exception of holidays. The next meeting will be Feb. 3.

UPMARKET FOOD giant Waitrose has submitted a planning application to build a new store in Chelmsford.
Store bosses hope to take over the Royal Mail sorting office on Victoria Road and plan to create 180 jobs.
And as part of the application, 37 new homes are planned along with a community centre, 240 parking spaces and four retail and business units.
Property and development communications manager at Waitrose, James Armstrong, said: "Chelmsford is a vibrant and growing city and we would welcome the chance to add to the investment already being made by our business with the new John Lewis store.
"We are keen to play our part in ensuring Chelmsford remains an attractive city for both shoppers and businesses.
"We expect to create up to 180 jobs for local people, as well as supporting local causes through our Community Matters and Partner Volunteering initiatives.
"We would donate £12,000 every year to local charities and projects through our Community Matters scheme. Our nine existing stores in Essex have already shared nearly £300,000 between more than 800 causes.
"We would also make available 250 staff hours every year to local charities and projects through our Partner Volunteering scheme."
Manager of High Chelmer shopping centre, Mick Donagh said: "I am absolutely delighted that Waitrose has submitted this planning application and will be really happy to see them back in Chelmsford.
"If the planning application is approved it will be great for the city of Chelmsford and I am sure they will be able to make it work."
Waitrose closed its store in the Meadows shopping centre in 1998, just six years after opening, due to a lack of customers.
But after a public consultation involving 450 local residents in March, Waitrose bosses recorded a 99 per cent vote of support in principle from 265 comment forms.
This was made up of 77 per cent in full support with the proposals and 22 per cent in support with reservations.
Waitrose Development Surveyor, Grant Hobday, said: "We have been really encouraged by the fantastic response to our proposals and the submission of our application is another major step forward.
"Chelmsford already has a new John Lewis to look forward to and we would welcome the opportunity to add to the investment and new jobs being generated in the city.
"If Waitrose's application is approved and Royal Mail is successful in its own application to move to Montrose Road, Royal Mail intends to commence its relocation programme in 2014. Waitrose would then aim to open the new food shop in 2015."
The application comes as Primark prepares to open this September in High Chelmer and the city gears up for a John Lewis store as part of the £100 million redevelopment behind Debenhams.
Plans for Waitrose on Victoria Road are for a slightly bigger store than the one in Billericay.
Of the residential properties planned, an external developer would take over the construction of what is proposed to be mainly two bedroom apartments, with a third of the new builds one bedroom apartments.

Rise in asking price could indicate housing recovery
The real estate market has been turned upside-down. In most parts of the country, it is more affordable to buy a home than it is to rent one. However, an uptick in the asking price of for-sale homes may presage a recovery of the housing market looming just around the corner.
Asking price rises 1.4 percent
Trulia Price Monitor, released Thursday by the real estate listing site, found that the asking price of for sale homes in the U.S. rose by 0.6 percent in February and another 0.9 percent in March. The report looked at real estate stats in 100 metropolitan housing markets. In all, asking prices climbed by 1.4 percent in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the final quarter of 2011.
Similarly, The Burns Home Value Index determined last week that the asking price of for sale homes had risen by 1.1 percent in the year's first quarter.
Stats seasonally adjusted
The figures recorded in the Tulia report are seasonally adjusted, taking into account the normal spring-time uptick in home asking prices. Unadjusted, the report would have shown a growth of 2.4 percent over quarter four of 2011.
Dramatic rise in areas hardest hit
Kolko said that the year-over-year leap in asking prices is especially dramatic in areas hit the hardest by the housing crisis such as Fort Myers, Fla., Phoenix, Pittsburgh and Detroit.
Real-time monitor of housing market
Other bellwether firms use the cost of homes sold to monitor the housing market. According to Jed Kolko, Trulia's chief economist, looking at the prevailing asking prices provides a more "real time" gauge of the industry. Asking prices predict the cost of homes sold two or three months into the future, said Kolko. Therefore, the uptick, should it continue, could indicate coming growth in the national housing market.
A continued optimism in the housing market is echoed, says Kolko, by growth in the construction industry. He said:
"Builders build when they expect prices are going to rise."
Rental demand rises in some areas
Some areas saw a reduction in home asking prices, such as cities like Seattle, Wash., and Sacramento, Calif., where superior job growth has driven up the demand — and, consequently, the cost — of rentals.
[Use faxless payday loans when things get tight.]
The Tulia report also found that the price of rentals went up nationally by 5 percent over the previous quarter.
A long way yet to climb
While the report hints that industry growth could fuel a recovery, the market still has a long climb ahead. The average cost of a home is still about 34 percent of what it was in 2006, before the collapse.

Real Property
Land Unit Types
The Department's land units are designated according to their significance, resource management practices and recreational focus, or by legislation enacted by the Maryland General Assembly.
Land Unit Types
Click to view DNR's Current Acreage Report
(Adobe Acrobat file 1 MB)
Definitions of Land Unit Types
For reference in this document, the different DNR land unit designations or types are briefly discussed below:
There are several different types of parks administered by the MPS:
- Multiple-Use Parks are suitable for intensive recreational development and use, and development may include roads, parking, picnic areas, camping areas, and boat launching facilities. Examples of Multiple Use Parks include: Greenbrier State Park, Gunpowder Falls State Park, and Rocky Gap State Park.
- General Recreation Parks accommodate light to medium recreational development and use on a smaller scale than Multiple Use Parks. Big Run, Calvert Cliffs, and Herrington Manor are classified as General Recreation Parks.
- Waterfront Parks have a waterfront on the ocean, bay, or a lake as its principal attraction. Development often is as intensive as Multi-Use Parks. Assateague, Deep Creek Lake, and Janes Island are Waterfront Parks.
- Historic or Scenic Parks are recognized for its historic significance or scenic interest. Several Historic or Scenic Parks include the Casselman Bridge, Fort Frederick, and Gathland.
- A State Wildland is a special designation that "overlays" all or part of a state park, forest, wildlife management area or other DNR land unit. There are over 43,773 acres of Wildlands in the State that are recognized by the Maryland General Assembly as containing wilderness characteristics and otherwise outstanding and unique natural features worthy of preservation in a natural state. Maryland's Wildlands are equivalent to the National Wilderness Preservation System.
- A Heritage Conservation Fund Sites is not an official land unit designation, but includes properties that have been acquired specifically for the protection of identified endangered plant or animal species and significant habitats.
- An Unclassified Land Unit is a property that often is under a special management or partnership arrangement with another government or nonprofit entity.
- An Undesignated Land Unit usually includes newly acquired properties that are undergoing or have yet to undergo a public involvement and planning process – the recommendations in a completed Land Unit Plan determine the designation(s) of a land unit. Chesapeake Forest (58,257 acres) and Chapmans Forest (2,225 acres), are presently Undesignated, and plans are underway for both properties.

Kaizer Chiefs skipper Itumeleng Khune believes his side has yet to reach their full potential as they prepare for their crucial Soweto derby against Orlando Pirates, at the FNB Stadium, on Saturday.
"We are really looking forward to an interesting derby," Khune said on Thursday.
"It's one of the biggest in the world, so it's our duty as players to showcase to the world what South African football is all about."
Chiefs moved five points clear of their bitter rivals on Wednesday, beating Chippa United in Cape Town, while Pirates were held to a 1-1 draw by Bloemfontein Celtic at Orlando Stadium.
Khune said the team would have to be mentally alert throughout the encounter and warned that Pirates would be equally motivated heading into the fixture.
"We know Pirates are dangerous from the very first minute to the last 15, so we have to be disciplined," he said.
"We'll have to contain them and we'll need the mental strength to do well in the game.
"We just have to go out there and play our normal game. It's a game of 90 minutes like any other game but we know how important it is."
Despite his cautious approach, Khune conceded that winning the derby was a major achievement on and off the pitch.
"To have bragging rights is also great, so we'll have to go out there and enjoy our football and get the result." - Sapa

Director Lars Von Trier in the master of making bleak, depressing movies that make you question the value of his art as entertainment. So it follows that his movies would be hot properties at any movie studio. And now, one of those studios, Magnolia, has picked up Von Trier's latest film, entitled Melancholia. The movie is about the end of the world, with a flashback structure showing how it happened after an opening depicting the actual end. Bad marketing, Von Trier — everyone knows you put the Apocalypse at the END of the movie, so the rubes will stay until the end to see it. This way you're shooting your bloody load right at the beginning. I like you, Lars, but you need to learn how to give the people what they want, like you did with Dogville. The movie stars Kirsten Dunst, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Kiefer Sutherland, Charlotte Rampling, John Hurt, Stellan Skarsgård and Udo Kier. (via The Playlist)

Here we are. Spring semester of 2012, what an exciting time for everyone! I hope y'all are having a great start to the end of your high school careers and are getting excited about starting college in the fall. It's hard to believe that just four years ago I was embarking on the same journey and starting my time in college. This spring is bittersweet. I've had the most incredible journey at SMU – I have learned so much about myself, explored things I never would have imagined, met people that will be in my life forever and received above and beyond the help I needed to prepare myself for the next stage of my life. But, at the same time I love looking forward to all the doors and windows holding possibilities still unknown to me. I know I will always be a Mustang and have the Mustang community supporting me every step of the way. This semester I want to focus on all of the amazing memories, moments, people and experiences that have consistently prepared me for May 12, I invite you to join me each week as I look back. Pony up y'all!

The aim of the investigators study is to analyze the incidence of MES by TCD performed during AF ablation with the nMARQ and to compare is with the incidence of MES using a conventional irrigated ablation catheter. Objective: To investigate the incidence of MES on TCD during AF ablation with the nMARQ catheter compared to a conventional irrigated ablation catheter. Following inclusion, patients will be randomized into 2 equal different treatment groups: PVI with traditional irrigated RF catheter versus PVI using the nMARQ catheter. In all patients, anticoagulation therapy with warfarin is discontinued five-days before the procedure and low molecular weight heparin is initiated at that time. A CT-scan of the left atrium is performed and imported into the Carto 3 mapping system. The ablation procedure is conducted under general anesthesia or conscious sedation. A decapolar catheter is positioned in the coronary sinus and a quadripolar catheter is positioned at the His bundle level through the right femoral vein. Two 8F sheaths are introduced into the left atrium with double trans-septal puncture performed under fluoroscopic, trans-esophageal echocardiographic or intracardiac echocardiography guidance. Upon completion of the first trans-septal puncture, intravenous heparin is administered to maintain an activated clotting time of 350 seconds throughout the procedure. A variable Lasso circular mapping catheter is introduced through the SL1 sheath into each pulmonary vein for electrical mapping. After the second trans-septal puncture, a Navistar Thermocool 3.5mm irrigated ablation catheter or an nMARQ circular irrigated ablation catheter are introduced into the left atrium. Of note, in case of use the nMARQ catheter, the second SL-1 sheath is replaced by a steerable 8F agilis sheath after the second trans-septal puncture. Each of the 4 PVs are imaged by selective angiograms. The left atrium geometry is created using the nMARQ catheter or the Navistar catheter and then merged with the pre-acquired CT scan of the left atrium and PVs. Identification of true MESs will be possible using an event detector system, in addition to determining whether the MESs are attributed to a solid or to a gaseous embolus. Total MES counts will be collected and evaluated separately during different stages of the procedure.

The Good Girls Revolt at Newsweek
Wednesday, September 12, 2012
Lynn Povich talks about working at Newsweek in the 1960s, and discovering that women researchers sometimes became reporters, rarely writers, and never editors. She was a ringleader of the 46 Newsweek women who charged the magazine with discrimination in hiring and promotion in 1970. It was the first female class action lawsuit—and the first by women journalists. In The Good Girls Revolt: How the Women of Newsweek Sued their Bosses and Changed the Workplace, she tells the story of this turning point through the lives of several participants.
The Gender Bias Lawsuit that Changed Journalism
Monday, September 10, 2012
On March 16, 1970, 46 of Newsweek's female employees publicly accused the magazine of gender discrimination in hiring and promotion. It was the first class female class action lawsuit, and Lynn Povich was proud to be a part of it.

In autumn, near the end of October, you are likely to see lots of "spider webs" decorating front doors and Halloween scenes. The reason for this is because lots of people think spiders and their webs are a little bit creepy. In fact, some people are terrified of spiders. This fear of spiders is called arachnophobia (uh-RACK-nuh-foh-bee-uh). The long name comes from the fact that spiders are in a special group of insects known as arachnids (uh-RACK-nids). Even though some people are scared of spiders, these little creatures are amazing, and are very helpful to humans in many ways.
Spiders have eight legs. Most of them have eight eyes as well, although some have fewer eyes. Every spider in the world has fangs and is venomous. That means that spiders produce venom that they inject into their prey. Thankfully, most spiders have such weak venom that they cannot hurt humans. Their venom only works on the small insects that the spiders catch. Some spiders, however, like the Brown Recluse and the Black Widow, have venom that can harm humans. It is important to try to avoid these kinds of spiders.
Spiders come in many different shapes and sizes. There are thousands of species of spiders. And they live on every continent except Antarctica. The largest spider in the world is known as the Goliath Birdeater Tarantula. You will read about it later in this issue of Discovery. Some of the smallest spiders in the world are no bigger than the head of pin.
God designed spiders with many amazing skills and abilities. One of the most amazing things about spiders is their ability to spin silk and make intricate webs. Eric Lyons has written an interesting article about spider silk for us this month. Some spiders even use their silk to "fly." They spin special, thin lines of silk into the air. This thin silk is called gossamer silk. It forms a small "pouch" that catches the wind and the spider floats away. This process is called "ballooning." Most of the time, young spiders, called spiderlings, balloon. They usually only travel a few yards. But if the wind is very strong, ballooning spiders can travel several miles. Spiders have been found far out at sea in the currents of the wind. Scientists believe this is how new species of spiders "invade" islands….

About Ice and Hiking Crampons:
|Let's be honest, crampons have a silly name. Probably because there is no word that can match the badassness of having metal claws on your feet that make you an ice climbing machine. Crampons come in multiple styles, ranging from strap-on binding based systems, step in bindings or hybrid systems that fuse the other styles together. Their purposes range from walking to advanced mountaineering and each crampon has been designed to suit a specific need. It's important to select a crampon that will work with your boots as well as with your intended trek.
As research, I wore crampons out on the town last weekend. They fit right in at my local punk rock show, however I had a hard time convincing the manager of the bowling alley that I wasn't going to damage the lane. Turns out, the manager was right, so use your crampons as much as possible, but don't take them bowling.

Patent Ductus Arteriosus
Condition Description
Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is the term that describes failure of a blood vessel present before birth (the ductus arteriosus) to close in the early days after birth. This vessel is present in the unborn child to allow blood to bypass the lungs since the lungs are not needed to provide the blood with oxygen prior to birth (the mother's placenta supplies the baby's blood with oxygen before birth). After the birth this blood vessel normally closes off and turns into a fibrous band of tissue that disappears. This process occurs because of a reaction in the walls of the ductus that cause it to close when it is exposed to high levels of oxygen in the first 24 hours of life. If this vessel does not close after birth, pressures in the pulmonary arteries may become very high (pulmonary hypertension) and lung damage can occur that can be permanent.
One identified cause of PDA is a mother's exposure to the virus rubella. Most of the time no cause of a PDA can be identified. It does occur frequently in prematurely-born infants whose lungs are not oxygenating the blood sufficiently to expose the walls of the ductus to high oxygen levels. Babies with a patent ductus arteriosus will often have a hoarse cry, a cough, pneumonia, heart failure with difficulty breathing, and poor weight gain. They may perspire when they are feeding and have a rapid heart and respiratory rate.
Patent ductus arteriosus is a common condition of prematurely born children, but it is not considered a congenital defect in those children; rather it is typically a transient effect of their early birth and lung immaturity. It occurs as a congenital heart defect in 8 of 1000 live births of full-term children and makes up 5-10% of all congenital heart defects. Girls are 2-3 times more likely to have a patent ductus arteriosus than are boys.
Common Associated Conditions
PDA occurs as a single defect in some children, and it is a component of many other heart conditions.
Short-term Treatment and Outcomes
Babies with patent ductus arteriosus often have a heart murmur that indicates the condition is present. An echocardiogram and chest x-ray will be done, and in some cases magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will also be helpful. A drug called indomethicin will be given to the baby through the vein to see if this drug will affect the walls of the ductus arteriosus and cause it to close without any other treatment being necessary. If the defect does not close by age 1-2 years, surgery will be done to close off the vessel (called ligation surgery).
Long-term Treatment and Outcomes
Children with significant heart surgery histories have to take antibiotics when they have dental work because the bacteria in the mouth can be released into the blood stream and cause an infection in the heart (endocarditis). If the baby has no other conditions besides the PDA the outlook from this condition is extremely favorable.
Common Complications
Congestive heart failure is a common complication of an untreated patent ductus arteriosus because of the extra blood flow to the lungs. The child will also have heart enlargement (cardiomegaly) from the extra work the heart has to do. A serious complication of uncorrected patent ductus arteriosus would be considerable lung damage (called pulmonary vascular obstructive disease) that then causes the flow of blood through the heart and ductus to reverse from a left-to-right blood flow to right-to-left flow. Thus blood that lacks oxygen would flow to the body. This flow reversal is called Eisenmenger's syndrome, and once it occurs it is not correctable; a heart-lung transplantation would be the only treatment. Other complications of untreated PDA include infection of the heart (endocarditis), weak heart function (congestive heart failure), and slow growth.
Implications for Children's Development
If the child's lungs have not been significantly damaged prior to the corrective treatment, the outlook for the child with PDA is very favorable. There should be no restriction on activities or negative effects on the child's development.

Tire flip Conceptually, the tire flip is an outstanding full-body exercise. If performed correctly, this exercise closely mirrors a deadlift, but has a slightly greater emphasis on moving explosively and adds a pressing movement at the end. Unfortunately, the tire flip (and the deadlift for that matter) is rarely performed with proper technique. Hunching your back over and pulling something heavy off the floor is a great way to slip a disc in your back. However, if you can keep your back in a neutral position and brace your core throughout the movement, you'll quickly rediscover full-body strength that allows you to flip tires that are taller than your car.

Discussion in 'Surveys, Polls and Questions' started by RadGuyJeff, Oct 27, 2007.
Just curious - do U (when smoking alone) get higher when smoking a pipe or a bong? I must know!
I have never smoked a bong alone, but I get highest when smoking one with a group. I don't have one in my house for that reason - I'd be too high for too long and never get anything done.
I have a glass pipe at home, and it does the trick. I'm fairly blazed right now after two bowls.
Bong, it's more efficient.
Bongs will get you more high.
well at least i get higher with bongs.
they hold more smoke.
Gives you nice hits.
and like krad said it is way more efficent...(less wasted weed)
For a bong.
Try using icecubes in the water..
makes the hit alot smoother.
But pick what you like.
and what gets you higher...
thats the main purpose here...
Very good post, WickedClown - thanx!
I personally almost find that the biggest determining factor in how high I get is not what method of smoking I use, but rather Set and Setting. Sure, of course I'm going to get much, much higher smoking a gram of sour diesel as opposed to a gram of some dirty schwag. But smoking some weed out of a pipe as opposed to smoking that same weed out of a bong or a joint doesn't make a huge effect on me. There are minor differences, for sure, but I really thing my mood and setting influence how high I get much more than how efficiently I smoke. One of the highest I've gotten was from just smoking a pinner, like .4 grams of some weed. I just sat in my chair for almost 20 minutes, completely still, my thoughts just taking me off to crazy insane places. Out of that same bag of the same weed, I might smoke two or three bowls out of the bong.
My somewhat rambling point is, even with small amounts of weed and 'inefficient' delivery methods, I'll get really high if the set and setting is right. And on the other side, I've smoked large amounts (of the same weed) out of bongs or other efficient methods, and get as high.
Separate names with a comma.

Kenwood Jack London Vineyard Zinfandel 2009
Zinfandel from Sonoma County, California
Winemaker's Notes
Complex aromas of cherry and fig combine with spicy notes of vanillin and pepper. Delicate well-structured tannins provide a rich mouth feel and a lingering finish.
The vintage of 2009 began with a dry spring followed by a mild summer. By mid September the Zinfandel located at the highest and warmest part of the vineyard was ready and we began picking. Over the course of the following three weeks as the fruit slowly ripened, we picked our way down to the lowest part of the vineyard. The grapes were fermented in stainless steel, and then aged in 60% French and 40% American oak barrels for just over a year and a half.
The wild berry and spice flavors of this rich and elegant Zinfandel are a perfect complement to tomato sauce dishes, grilled fish and steak, and rich chocolate desserts.
94% Zinfandel, 4% Syrah, 2% Petite Sirah
Critical Acclaim
Wine Enthusiast - "A picture-perfect Zinfandel from this famous vineyard. It's dry and soft in tannins and acids, and while it's a little high and sweet in alcohol, it's not too much. The raspberry, cherry, tobacco and bacon flavors finish in a swirl of peppery spices.
Editors' Choice"
Kenwood Vineyards
Located in the heart of the Sonoma Valley, Kenwood Vineyards is dedicated to producing premium wines truly representative of Sonoma County's world-class vineyards.
Kenwood Vineyards was established in 1970 in the former Pagani Brothers Winery, a historic cellar dating back to 1906. Thoroughly refurbished and modernized, the facility now boasts more than 125 stainless steel fermenting tanks and large oak uprights, and 20,000 small French and American oak barrels, all devoted to Kenwood Vineyards' "small lot" style of winemaking.
In addition to the 22-acre vineyard surrounding the winery, Kenwood Vineyards sources grapes from dozens of vineyards – many farmed sustainably, using natural soil amendments and pest controls whenever possible rather than chemicals - in Sonoma County's best appellations, including Russian River Valley, Alexander Valley, Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma Valley and Sonoma Mountain. Each lot from each vineyard is kept separate throughout the winemaking process, enabling the winemaker to bring it to its fullest potential. This "small lot" or "cuvee" style of winemaking also enables the winemaker to draw on an exceptionally broad "palette" to assemble wines that showcase classic character, subtle complexity and superb balance. As a result, every Kenwood Vineyards wine – whether Table Wine Series, Sonoma Series, Reserve, Jack London Vineyard or Artist Series – is consistent in quality and consistently delicious.

About Sonoma CountyView a map of Sonoma County wineriesRelated Links:
Twice as large as Napa in size, Sonoma County only makes about a half the amount of wine as her northeasterly neighbor. But Sonoma, with her size, is able to vouch for more diversity within her borders, including sub-AVAs that are climatically varied. The atmosphere of Sonoma is decidedly laid back and down home country style. But in wines, they are keeping up with the Joneses, or Napa-ites if you will. Grape varieties are more varied here, from Pinot Noir and Zinfandel to Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.
Notable FactsThe largest sub-AVAs of Sonoma include Dry Creek Valley, Russian River Valley, Alexander Valley and Sonoma Valley. Each sub-AVA, with its own micro-climate, is unique in its grape varieties and styles of wine. Dry Creek makes a mean Zinfandel while Russian River produces stand up Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The Alexander Valley makes some of the better Cabernet Sauvignons in the county and Sonoma Valley creates excellent wines from all the above varieties. Other grapes found throughout Sonoma include Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot and Syrah.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

Lawyer Marketing - SEO Services
Attorney SEO Services by BSolutions starting as low as $195/Month. Contact us for a free website review.
A website is of no use if there are no viewers to it. You cannot generate income from a website until people visit your site. Earlier it was easy to attract viewers, but now with Search engines enhancing their algorithms and users becoming techno savvy, it can become difficult task. Optimizing your website by utilizing basic SEO techniques can enhance quality traffic flow.
Every Attorney must ensure that his/her website is Search Engine Friendly and is accessible to users who are searching for their legal services on popular search engines.
There are some basic tips which will help you optimize your website better. Following are some of the tips which will help your website rank higher on search engines.
1. Ensure search engines access the content
The simplest way is to use a tool like Feed the Bot to see if search engines to notice your website. If it shows blank then it means that the content is blocked as it has badly configured robots txt file or built the website in Flash or used video text.
Text content is the best, and they should be used as an alternative to images, video, and flash content where possible.
2. Check tags
Meta tags are not very important but do provide information about search engine. The most essential part is the title tag that should contain one or two keywords or phrases. The best is to have six or seven very particular pages than one or two general information pages.
3. Check the content
Keywords and phrases must appear within the content of the page. If you want to highlight these phrases then use them in titles, section headings and display in bold. Use keyword density tool so that too many keywords are avoided.
4. Internal Links
The website should be easily navigated with all pages linked together with keywords. Try to include internal links within the content along with a navigation bar. In addition, create a site map which gets updated automatically. Majority of the CMS systems like Wordpress have plug-ins which create search friendly site maps.
5. Backlinks
Once the website is clean and search engine friendly then it gets easily noticed. There are no quick and easy ways to build Backlinks.
6. Continue to Update
The websites which are updated frequently rank better than static ones. By constantly providing new pages, adding blogs or posting relevant news bulletins you can keep the website fresh and current.
7. Calculate and record.
Each time you make a change in the content measure its performance. Sign up to Google Analytics, track from where the traffic is originating, and know what people are actually searching for to find the website. This could help in finding out what works and what does not and is the easiest way to learn SEO.
