Eudemons online: Thank givings
Thanks giving day is coming, and i havent been here for many days, missing everyone on this special days , especially my readers. lol
on the special days, it seems many thanks should be sent, first thank is for my parents on this day, second for my friend. Third should be on MMORPG.com, i have known many games here and really enjoy a lot of pleasure and a lots of friends in many games. the fourth is on game makers, billzard, TQ, sony Inc, and so on, i cannot enjoy so much fun with out your hard effort, the last one is the girl in Eudemons online , without i cannot play this far with love and care. Thank you all, maybe the pic from the game can express more feeling here. At last, thank you for all ppl reading my blogs, with you happy times in your lives on this special days and in the coming Xmas and the year 2008.
It's stoopid. I can't believe people are still playing that game after TQ has removed EVERYTHING that a player playing for free could possible use to better themselves. Nothing but dumb experience balls for a quest. Like that is any good. Experience has VERY LITTLE value in a game where everything is based on potency.Fri Nov 23 2007 7:59PM Report

Sustainability is certainly a goal for most church plants. But have denominations set up a model that is sustainable for pastors?
Like it or not, the world's religious landscape owes much to the long history of European imperialism. But the story of empire and missions is more complex than we might assume.
The Pretty Clearly Troubled but Not Even Close to Tragic Confessions of a Real Live Mormon Missionary
Fall books
One cold afternoon in 1975 in a small rented bedroom in Antwerp, the young Mormon missionary Craig Harline (Elder Harline in Mormon parlance) had a faith crisis—though it is not quite right to call it that.
Dispatches from the Fault Line Between Christianity and Islam
I'd like to see this award-winning journalist's book read by
all Christians--from evangelicals who believe that their life's calling is to save
souls to those Christians who, while denouncing proselytizing, feel called to offer
compassionate, practical aid to those who need help. For either of the above
missionary types, Griswold dispels illusions. She is fearless in following a story
into the most remote village, and wise in her understanding of how religions
collide and inflame and exacerbate volatile situations.
Missionaries' faith—the kind of faith that inspired and impelled men and women to take the gospel into all the world—seems to lie beyond poet Oliver Reynolds's ken.

Image capture late on 09.01 in wainting for the x-flare to ignite some auroras, unfortunately the impact was a lot weaker than anticipated but I think I got away with a couple of good ones.
Was a nice -17 degrees C, so started to feel it after a few hours.
Did some minor retouching to bring forth the milky way.
Hope you like this.

Invasive pest plants are a growing problem in Alabama. Not all non-native plants are invasive. In fact, a large number of our agricultural crops and ornamental plants are non-native (exotic) in origin. Exotic plants brcome a problem when they escape cultivation, spread and aggressively replace native species.
Here are six simple things you can do to help stop the spread of invasives.
• Make sure the plants you buy for your yard or garden are not invasive. Replace invasive plants with native alternatives.
• When boating, clean your boat thoroughly before transporting it to a different body of water.
• Clean your boots before you hike in a new area to get rid of hitchhiking weed seeds and pathogens.
• Do not "pack a pest" when traveling. Fruits, vegetables, plants, insects and animals can carry pests or become invasives themselves.
• Do not release aquarium fish or plants, live bait or other exotic animals in to the wild.
• Volunteer at your local park, refuge or preserve to help remove invasive species.
(Pueraria montana var. lobata)
Kudzu is native to China and was planted extensively in South in the 1930s, 40s and 50s for forage and erosion control. "The Vine that ate the South" continues to spread along edges of forests, pastures, and right-of-ways and around cities and towns. During Spring, kudzu vines can grow up to a foot a day, covering trees, buildings, fences, road signs, and telephone and utility poles. In the late 1980s, a county agent survey estimated about 250,000 acres were infested by kudzu in Alabama. Control treatments have been successful using herbicides, overgrazing and mechanical root removal.
(Triadica sebifera or Sapium sebiferum)
Tallowtree is native to Eastern Asia was first introduced in the 1700s and then spread by federally sponsored plantings in the gulf coast during the early 1900s for a failed seed oil industry. This deciduous tree's colorful fall foliage and rapid growth has made it a popular landscape tree. Prolific seed production and dispersal by birds and water has resulted in increasingly infested stream banks, riverbanks and wet areas as well as upland forests, especially in southern Alabama. Several southern states have banned or in the process of banning sales of this species. Plants are controlled by application of herbicides to foliage, stems or cut stumps.
(Imperata cylindrica)
Cogongrass is native to Asia and was introduced into the Mobile area in the early 1900s. This tall perennial grass forms dense circular infestations that exclude all native species. It is highly flammable and poses a severe fire hazard. Over half of Alabama's counties have cogongrass infestations with the most severe being in the southern counties. Cogongrass is steadily spreading northward by windblown seeds, movement of contaminated fill dirt, and probably through horticultural plantings (there is a commercial red variety) as well as sale of hay, pine straw, and straw from infested areas. This is a federal and Alabama State listed noxious weed. Successful eradication is achieved with multiple herbicide treatments over several years.
(Ligustrum sinense)
Chinese privet is native to China and was first introduced into the United States as an ornamental shrub in the 1850s. This mostly evergreen shrub continues to be sold and planted. It spreads across the landscape via abundant seeds carried by birds and water, while infestations grow by prolific root suckering. Chinese privet is just one of several species of privet invading Alabama's fencerows, forested creek bottoms and upland forests. The dense patches, reaching 30ft tall, displace most native species and prevent regeneration of native forests. Plants are controlled by application of herbicides to foliage, stems and cut stumps.
(Solanum viarum)
Native to Brazil and Argentina, the tropical soda apple was first found in Florida in 1988 and Alabama in 1994. This thorny perennial shrub invaded an estimated 1 million acres in five southern states within 7 ears after its arrival. Over 15,000 acres are currently infested in Alabama with extremely rapid spread underway. The plant is dispersed through interstate movement of cattle, hay and composted manure from infested areas, while local spread by wildlife is now suspected. Tropical soda apple is a federal and Alabama State listed noxious weed. Eradication requires multi-year application of herbicides.
(Lygodium japonicum)
Native to Asia and Australia and introduced into the United States in 1930s, this perennial viney fern is rapidly spreading by windblown and water-borne spores and shipments of contaminated pine straw throughout Alabama. Although it dies back each winter, the prior year's vines provide a trellis for expansive new growth that eventually covers shrubs and trees. This species displaces native plants, destroys wildlife habitat and blocks access to lands. Careful prescribed burns can reduce vines and applications of herbicides to foliage can control underground stems.
(multiflora rose/Rosa multiflora, Cherokee rose/R. laevigata, Macartney rose/R. bracteata)
Native to Asia and introduced into the United States as ornamentals, livestock containment and wildlife habitat plantings, these roses are increasingly invading pastures, forest edges, right-of-ways and wetland habitats. Cherokee and Macartney roses are evergreen and multiflora rose is deciduous, but all three form impenetrable entanglements that hinder land use and management. Cherokee rose is a major plant pest in Alabama's Blackbelt, while multiflora and Macartney roses occur throughout the state. Effective eradication can be achieved with repeated herbicide applications, while bio-control agents can weaken plants.
(Myriophyllum spicatum)
Eurasian water milfoil is native to Europe and Asia and introduced in the United States in the 1940s as an aquarium plant. This submersed, mat-forming perennial remains green during winter and occurs throughout Alabama in both fresh and brackish waters. It is an aggressive invader of reservoirs, rivers and lakes. It forms dense mats that replaces native plants and prevents light penetration, destroying fish habitat. It spreads when plant fragments hitchhike on boats and trailers, but it also produces seeds. Carefully planned herbicide applications can reduce infestations in some cases.
(Hydrilla verticillata)
Native to Asia or Africa and first introduced into Florida in the 1950s or early 1960s, this aquatic plant infests fresh-water ponds, rivers and lakes. Like many invasive aquatic plants, the aquarium trade introduced hydrilla, and it now spreads when plant parts hitchhike on boats and trailers. Dense surface mats of hydrilla crowd out native plants and cause reduced oxygen conditions unsuitable for fish. The mats interfere with water flow, drainage, and navigation and often harbor mosquitoes. This is a federal and Alabama State listed noxious weed. Carefully applied herbicide applications can reduce infestations.
(Alternanthera philoxeroides)
Native to South America and introduced into the United States in the 1890s in ship ballast water, this freshwater perennial invader forms dense mats in water bodies, wetlands and low-lying as well as upland areas. The thick mats in water replace native species and can result in fish kills and prevent recreational use as well as slow drainage that may cause flooding. Dense upland infestations make the land useless for any type of production. A South American flea beetle introduced in the 1980s in Florida for biological control of alligator weed has reduced the spread but is less effective in central and northern Alabama because of low over-winter survival. Several herbicides are available for effective treatment of alligator weed. Eradication requires multi-year applications.
More on Alabama Invasives
The Nature Conservancy supports the efforts of the Alabama Invasive Plant Council. The Alabama Invasive Plant Council was established in 2003 as a non-profit statewide organization to:
• Provide a forum for all interested parties to participate and provide input on the problem and solution.
• Raise awareness about the threat posed by invasive pest plants in Alabama.
• Facilitate communication and the exchange of information on the threat and management of invasive pest plants.
• Initiate actions to prevent future introductions and the spread of invasive pest plants in Alabama and the Southeast.
• Serve as an educational, advisory, and technical support council on all aspects of invasive plant issues.
The Nature Conservancy makes careful use of your support.

but i think to flash it with ps3key you need to register on their website with a serial number and i don't have any...
what is the difference between atmel, hex and silabs ? How do i know which one is for me ?
Edit: ok i think i got it flashed using the ps3key software
hope this works.. anyhow thx a lot man for your time!
Atmel is a company, which creates the microchips.
Hex(-files) are the files, which you want to bring on the microchip, which contains Hermes v4 or PL3. So, Hex = Firmware of the microchip.
Ok one last thing.. how am i supposed to know if it has actually been flashed, is there a way to check current firmware ?
ps3key software ran smoothly and said upgrade done but i don't see no changes when using it...

Google is starting to make John Chambers' case. Chambers, Cisco's CEO, valued the so-called Internet of Things (IoT) in his 2014 International CES keynote last week at $19.1 trillion.
Less than a week later, Google buys Nest, the digital thermostat and smoke-detector maker, for $3.2 billion. Sure, there's a few trillion here and there to go. But what's that?
Welcome to the largest Internet of Things purchase to date.
"It's interesting to see just how quickly this will happen," Scott Strawn, International Data Corporation (IDC) senior analyst, told CMSWire about the growth of the IoT. "Google's acquisition of Nest will hasten the pace of the innovation."
Not So Fast
While Google has a head start over many in the IoT race with Nest, Forrester Research's Frank Gillett reminded us that the connected world through IoT is in a "nascent" stage. Of all adults online, only 8 percent have any form of home automation, he said. The largest slice of that pie -- 3 percent -- is home security, Gillett added.
"We're talking about the very beginning of an age with this idea," Gillett told CMSWire in a phone interview today. "From a business point of view, businesses have initially experimented with machine-to-machine but not broadly."
Although it may not have made a significant dent in the Cisco CEO's valuation -- Google's purchase of Nest is still a pretty "meaningful acquisition," said Strawn, who covers Google and Amazon for IDC.
Not exactly meaningful in terms of nickels and dimes to Google -- with $56 billion in cash on its balance sheets, Google "can cover it," Strawn noted. But it is in fact Google's second largest acquisition to date, behind the $12.5 billion Motorola Mobility buy to boost its smartphone power.
"It behooves Google to be a leader in this Internet of Things space," Strawn said. "The question now is how it pursue it. But it's a meaningful step in that direction. There are now a lot of questions for exactly what to expect as a result of this. What are the other products that Nest hasn't already produced?"
Home Investment
Google's acquisition this week gives the ever growing corporation a key way into homes and offices. Sure, Nest has proven its worth as a strong company. But this is more about connected devices and the IoT. And Nest is a pioneer there in the home.
As if Google wasn't in our homes enough, the $50-billion 2012 revenue producer out of Menlo Park, Calif. has a stamp on the gadgets that keep us safe and warm. Nest's Learning Thermostat and Protect (Smoke + CO Alarm) are signature products for the 130-employee company founded by former Apple executives Tony Fadell and Matt Rogers.

Problems of the Age: 14: Intemperance
For links to other parts of this series, see this chart.
For a statement on the unofficial nature (i.e., personal interpretation for discussion purposes, not necessarily representative of church doctrine) of these lessons, see this notice.
Dealing with Religious, Social and Economic Questions and Their Solution.
A Study for the Quorums and Classes of the Melchizedek Priesthood. 1917-1918.
By Dr. Joseph M. Tanner
XIV. – Intemperance
Prohibition. – Temperance is more than a code of laws which we call prohibition. It is a duty we owe to our God, our families; a duty to become our brothers' keepers. The world has become greatly alarmed over the degeneracy of manhood and over the increased allurements to womanhood through drink. The banker found it an insidious enemy. The manufacturer bewailed the inefficiency of those who through drink obstructed his progress. It became more and more a great economic question. Through it the stability of business life was broken. As long as it had apparently no other evil than the destruction of the home, the hunger of children, the broken hearts of wives and mothers, the world tolerated it beyond belief. It was a sordid world and material gains outweighed spiritual values.
Once it touched business and laid its hands violently upon commercial life men of affairs rose up in antagonism to it, and yet all the arguments of dollars and cents were weak compared with the destruction it wrought in the moral and spiritual life of the world. The argument of business was that drink cost the United States six billion dollars every year. Men of science declared that two drinks a day would slow down the energy of the brain from eight to twenty per cent.
Increase of Vice. – We have introduced prohibition in many of the states of the Union. Will that produce temperance? It will help, but it will take time. There will be arguments against it, and statistics brought to prove the arguments and to prove the prosperity of the nation by what people can afford for drink. The following comes from the New York Sun of September 5, 1917:
Despite the high cost of living the people of the United States consumed 26,000,000 gallons more of distilled spirits in the fiscal year ending June 30th last than in the year before.
They needed for their comfort 879,180,583 more cigars and 9,440,000,000 more cigarettes – the later increase being ascribed by the ungallant internal revenue bureau to the increase of cigarette smoking among women. We refuse to accept the explanation.
Chewing and smoking consumption increased by 23,500,000 pounds. Snuff, – where it is used, – went up 2,200,000 pounds.
Washington officials point to this record of increasing expenditures for luxuries as an evidence of great prosperity. Perhaps it is. But it is a poor promise for future prosperity. The spectacle of a nation clamorous against the increased price of food and of every necessary of life increasing its annual expenditures for liquor and tobacco by millions is not ver inspiriting.
Downward Movement. – Nothing proves more strikingly the rapid slide downward which the social life of our nation is taking. Can it be stopped? What can stop it? Such a showing illustrates the fallacy of merely applying a legal remedy, and then awaiting complacently the coming millennium. Law is not the great remedy for vice. Law hits more forcefully at crimes – the grosser crimes along whose mountain sides lie the rolling hills of vice. But law can help. And it must be helped, or it will fail. It is perhaps one of the greatest objections to law that it lures men into the belief that nothing more is needed of them. Let the law take its course, is the fallacy of self-contented failure. Law requires, when it deals with vice, the aid of public opinion and individual effort. It is sustained effort that carries great reforms on to victory. It is to him who endures to the end. One of the greatest dangers in the prohibition movement of the world today is the false argument of a victory won. Victory is not won, it is merely a promise. To make laws successful in questions of vice (I make a clear distinction between vice and crime), there must not only be a strong, but a lasting public will. Any reaction invites defeat. Why does law against vice often fail so lamentably? The masses are prone to one vice or another. Men will excuse their own and tolerate kindred vices. Crimes are more loathsome, and are the practices of the comparatively few. In matters of vice it will not do to watch and wait.
Kindred Vices. – It may be well to note that vices are multiplying. Our forefathers would be appalled today at the sight of the great brood of vices which were wholly unknown in their day. They had evils to be sure, plenty of them, all they could endure. Vice has its fashions and many of them change annually; it is the fashion of fashions to change. It is not primarily a question of art with fashion. When it wins a certain following, it marches on to universality. Vice is in a high degree a fashion, not in its dress, but in its kinship to dress. Dress and vice in alla ges have had striking resemblances. It was so in ancient times. Fashion, drink, and sexual sin have always been the three graces of the underworld.
It is difficult to single out one vice and push it away from all its relations of cousins, aunts, and nieces. Sooner or later they will meet. Liquor is simply one of many vices. It is hard to banish when its pals are allowed to stay. To make prohibition fulfil its mission there must come into action a concerted movement against the kindred evils of the one it seeks to abolish. Temperance is what the world needs to correct the monstrous evil of drink. It is temperance in thought and action; temperance in high and low places; temperance in language and motives; temperance in fashion and pleasure; temperance in all the walks of daily life. It is reported of President Smith that when he was once asked his attitude on prohibition that he declared himself for temperance, that which corrects a multitude of evils, and prevents drink. Without temperance, prohibition must fight single handed. Drink is the companion of hilarity, frivolity, lascivious dress and immorality. The battle to victory must be along the whole line. If one only is attacked and driven back the others begin a flanking movement that lead sooner or later to the defeat of those who rush on to the attack of the enemy in one place. We hope and pray that prohibition may be a complete antidote for the evil of drink; but it must be supported by the spirit of temperance. The card table, the pool room, and excessive pleasures are all companions of drink. When drink is ordered out, her devoted friends will. By sinister ways invite her return. We warn, we admonish and expound the doctrine of temperance. The tide of a dissipated age is rolling up against us. Shall we brace and hold ourselves against it; or shall we yield and falsely comfort ourselves that it is moving shoreward; that we must go with the tide; that it is folly to move against it; that in Rome we must do as Rome does? There was in that ancient capital a body of devoted and despised people, the early Christians, that did not do as Rome did. But they paid the penalty, the cynic says. Suffering was not a penalty; it developed in them the power of redemption. Their good works survived, and out of them a new world sprang up, a new civilization was born, a new promise fulfilled. But other tides of life came in the recurring events of the nations. The old dies and the new is born. There is always a struggle between life and death. Intemperance has always been a potent sign of decay. It stalks in the world today; it is everywhere; it knocks at the door of the Saints, and would delight them with the sweet intonations of its voice. Temperance, that is the key-note of safety.
Dangers of Excesses. – Rivalry is the spirit of the age. Rivalry means excess; excess, intemperance. Who can have the best time is the ambition of youth. Seekers after a good time vie with one another in dress, in social pastimes, and in all kinds of physical excesses. We are reminded that we eat too much, as well as rink too much, that we eat the wrong kind of food, that we are extravagant beyond all reason. Men build big houses which they do not need; they waste time and money in joy rides; and they seek opportunity to display wealth that does not really belong to them. Debt is the fashion of the age. It is overwhelming the permanency of commercial life. Everywhere in life the laws of temperance are violated, if not positively outraged. He who stands for temperance is a benefactor to his people and his race.
As Rome Does. – And what is the argument in favor of all this life of intemperance? It is the old fallacy of "living in Rome." Tides are always shattered at the shore; the break waters of life do not fall down from heaven to stop the rolling tide. They are made foot by foot, inch by inch. Little by little the forces of resistance are built up. We may not destroy the tide, but we may break, if we will, much of the power of its destruction. Here a man and there a woman braced in force against the evils of the day may dissipate many of them. As resistance grows, evils scatter. They may go on, but every fracture in them lessens the power of their destruction. The priesthood, for whom these words are written, stand to the front as a resisting force to the evils of the age.
Remedy. – An eminent U.S. Senator was asked if the treatment he received at the Battle Creek Sanitarium had helped him. He replied that it had; but that a "Mormon" might have told him all that he got there in three words – "Word of Wisdom" (read Sec. 89, Doc. and Cov.).

Massachusetts mental health provider signs companywide settlement
agreement to protect its workers better against workplace violence
Corrective action resolves citation that followed inspection prompted by a worker's death
BOSTON – North Suffolk Mental Health Association Inc. has entered into a companywide settlement agreement with the U.S. Department of Labor to implement comprehensive procedures and policies to safeguard its workers better against the hazards of workplace violence.
The department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration cited North Suffolk in June 2011 for failing to provide adequate safeguards against workplace violence following the death of a worker in January 2011. A resident of the company's group home in Revere allegedly abducted and murdered the worker, who worked on-site as a senior counselor.
North Suffolk contested its citation to the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission. The settlement, which applies to all North Suffolk programs, activities and workplaces, now resolves the case. Service Employees International Union Local 509, which represents some of the employees affected by the settlement, elected third party status in the case, participated in the proceedings, and is a signatory to the agreement.
"This resolution cannot restore the life that was taken. But it can help prevent future injuries and loss of life," said Marthe Kent, OSHA's New England regional administrator. "Enhanced safeguards and training at all North Suffolk locations will equip workers with the knowledge and tools to protect themselves better against assault."
"While North Suffolk had in place certain programs and policies to address workplace violence, what we sought in this litigation, and have achieved in this settlement, were improvements for all its locations. These policies are designed to reduce workplace violence substantially, which tragically accounts for injuries and even fatalities," said Michael Felsen, the department's regional Solicitor of Labor for New England.
The terms of the settlement include agreeing to a stand-alone written violence prevention program for all client-related service programs at all its locations. The program's elements will include workplace controls and prevention strategies; hazard/threat/security assessments; a workplace violence policy statement outlining and emphasizing a zero-tolerance policy for workplace violence; incident reporting and investigation; and periodic review of the prevention program. Management will solicit staff input and ensure staff involvement in the workplace violence prevention program, including offering full membership on the company's safety committee.
North Suffolk also agrees to take, at a minimum, the following measures across all its operations, to the extent it hasn't already:
All workers throughout North Suffolk's operations will be provided with a notice summarizing the settlement, which also advises them how they can easily obtain a copy of the full document.
North Suffolk also agrees to provide abatement information and a status report to OSHA on implementation of the agreement's terms. Finally, it agrees to pay the original assessed OSHA fine of $7,000, the maximum fine allowed under law for a serious violation. The settlement will become a final order of the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission on Sept. 5, 2013.
OSHA's "Guidelines for Preventing Workplace Violence for Health Care & Social Service Workers" resource is available online at http://www.osha.gov/Publications/OSHA3148/osha3148.html. Additional information on workplace violence is available at http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/workplaceviolence/index.html.
The case was litigated by senior trial attorney James Glickman, who is with the department's Regional Office of the Solicitor in Boston. The OSHA investigation was conducted by the agency's Andover Area Office.
To ask questions, obtain compliance assistance, file a complaint or report workplace hospitalizations, fatalities or situations posing imminent danger to workers, the public should call OSHA's toll-free hotline at 800-321-OSHA (6742).
Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, employers are responsible for providing safe and healthful workplaces for their employees. OSHA's role is to ensure these conditions for America's working men and women by setting and enforcing standards, and providing training, education and assistance.

On Facebook I get the daily news, hyperlocal-yet-global edition: A former co-worker's baby sits up for the first time. Links are shared for a funny video, an insightful political commentary, a vacation photo album. A friend tries to calm his nerves while his room in Kabul shakes in the midst of multiple bombings. Family members crack wise. Someone makes a delicious soup for dinner; someone else mourns an older brother gone too soon.
Facebook claims more than 350 million active users and is the largest social network in the world, thanks to a free, easy-to-use interface for sharing thoughts, photos, links, and more with those you designate as "friends" among other Facebook users. It has expanded far beyond its original college-student base. According to analysis by marketing firm iStrategyLabs, the largest percentage of growth last year among U.S. Facebook users was in the 55+ age group—an increase of 922.7 percent, to nearly 10 million people. The same analysis finds that 29 percent of U.S. Facebook users are age 35 to 54.
Many Christians are among those eagerly embracing Facebook and other social media. Teched-up trendwatchers for Jesus see new ways to evangelize, to grow churches and link people within churches, to build community online; they don't doubt that the Holy Spirit has an app for that. Pope Benedict XVI recently enthused, "The world of digital communication, with its almost limitless expressive capacity, makes us appreciate all the more St. Paul's exclamation: 'Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel.'"
What is not so clear is how savvy many Facebook users (Christian and otherwise) are to the full range of privacy issues related to social networking.
Facebook can seem almost like a private party, since by definition it's a place you go where everybody knows your name (at least for those of us too old to have "friended" an entire mega-university graduating class). Or maybe like a virtual church picnic, small-town basketball game, or class reunion—semi-public, attended by people with whom you have different degrees of relationship, but you retain control of who enters. (No one can make you invite the mean girls to this party.)
Facebook has targeted itself to users as a place where anyone can "interact with the people they know in a trusted environment." But to potential advertisers and application developers, it's a "platform that enables companies and engineers to deeply integrate with the Facebook website and gain access to millions of users through the social graph." Facebook says it has more than 500,000 applications—quizzes, games, and delivery systems for virtual hugs, food, blessings, liquor, even virtual postcards featuring the pope (yes, the pontiff has an app)—created by an estimated 1 million third-party developers and entrepreneurs.
An expanding base of users and the activity buzzing back and forth between them on the threads of Facebook's massive web are key assets for the company's future profitability. Advertisers, marketers, and app developers all want as much information about users as they can get.
Now, we've all heard of people who reveal far too much in photos or indiscreet posts, then suffer bad consequences when an employer or romantic interest does an Internet search. The American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers recently noted that social networking sites have become a common source of evidence used in divorce cases. Even without exhibitionism, people's personal standards of what's appropriate to share in a Facebook post vary: Most of us are delighted to know a friend's baby is on its way, but don't need to know how many centimeters the cervix is dilated. And technology affects culture. Most people in their 20s or younger have grown up surrounded by and using several communication devices. They were formed while negotiating a much more permeable public-private divide than those of us who are older.
But the insatiable commercial hunger for information might insult human dignity just as much as unfortunate frat party photos. We might assume that it's our decision whether we send lists of everyone we know out to the universe or make our vacation snapshots viewable by anyone on the Web. Many people would also first want to ask friends, or the cousins who went with us to Maui, whether they wanted their names or images released.
Circumspection, however, is not advantageous to social networks, search engines, and other online entities vying for information and users. In December, Facebook announced new, "simplified" privacy settings, which, for the most part, were widely assessed to be neither simple nor aimed toward privacy as much as toward disclosure. For example, the company's new default settings make most content available to "everyone" (meaning anyone with Internet access) until a user changes each setting.
Perhaps most troubling (and most controversial), Facebook announced a new category of "publicly available information," to include name, profile picture, current city, gender, networks, the pages that you are a "fan" of, and friend list. The user is not allowed to restrict access to these items. Besides being personally invasive, indiscriminate distribution of the names of associates can carry various practical implications, the worst being for Facebook users in countries prone to persecution of religious minorities or political dissidents.
In the case of friend lists, the push-back was so great that within a couple of days Facebook provided an option to make your friend list invisible to other Facebook users and nonusers. But the company noted they still considered the information public and that the list would be available to any app a person used.
In January, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg said that people are happy to share more information, with more people, than before—his company was simply making updates to "reflect ... the current social norms." Which rings false, considering the outcry those very updates had caused the month before. But by pushing users to reveal more about themselves and by changing the rules of a network that is extremely popular and still expanding, Facebook may assume it can reset societal norms to its liking.
Pragmatically—or cynically—in a society where E-ZPasses and grocery store discount cards electronically track our movements and transactions, while ubiquitous cameras look on, maybe Facebook is just one more place where our lives are monitored and commodified: not a big deal, the invisible price of modern life. Advocates of expanded government surveillance and data collection will often respond to critics by saying that the only reason to worry is if you have something to hide. Perhaps privacy is a quaint relic. Emily Nussbaum, in a New York magazine article about generational differences in the understanding of privacy, wrote, "it may be time to consider the possibility that young people who behave as if privacy doesn't exist are actually the sane people, not the insane ones."
But a strong argument exists for holding on to privacy, not just to protect our information, but to keep ourselves fully human. Security blogger Bruce Schneier wrote:
Privacy is an inherent human right, and a requirement for maintaining the human condition with dignity and respect ... We do nothing wrong when we make love or go to the bathroom. We are not deliberately hiding anything when we seek out private places for reflection or conversation. We keep private journals, sing in the privacy of the shower, and write letters to secret lovers and then burn them. Privacy is a basic human need.
One might argue that the thin slice of us that fits online is no substitute for the real thing—therefore our souls are unscathed and unsurveilled, and we'll have privacy in the sky by and by. But we also are who we are in community, shaped and defined by our "friend list" from birth to death. There's something sacred carried in the threads that connect our physical, spiritual, intellectual, and emotional networks, something not meant to be reduced to a commodity to be bought and sold.
So do we need to give up our Facebook? That, like deciding whom we share our thoughts with, is a personal choice. For now, for me, I'm choosing to live with the trade-offs. I've dialed my privacy settings up and am trying to fast from adding new applications, though I'm resigned that some of my data is flying here and there whenever a Facebook friend adds an app. And I'm trying to more actively follow and support the work of pro-technology civil liberties and privacy advocates, including the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the ACLU of Northern California's "Demand Your dotRights" campaign.
The psalmist wrote, "O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me ... You know my thoughts even when I'm far away. You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do" (Psalm 139:1-3). We can't deny God such intimate knowledge and close scrutiny. But businesses and governments aren't God.

Spousal Labor Market Effects from Government Health Insurance: Evidence from a Veterans Affairs Expansion
Melissa A. Boyle, Joanna N. Lahey
NBER Working Paper No. 20371
Measuring the overall impact of public health insurance receipt is important in an era of increased access to publicly-provided and subsidized insurance. Although government expansion of health insurance to older workers leads to labor supply reductions for recipients, there may be spillover effects on the labor supply of uncovered spouses. While theory predicts a decrease in overall household work hours, financial incentives such as credit constraints, target income levels, and the need for own health insurance suggest that spousal labor supply might increase. In contrast, complementarities of spousal leisure would predict a decrease in labor supply for both spouses. Utilizing a mid-1990s expansion of health insurance for U.S. veterans, we provide evidence on the effects of public insurance availability on the labor supply of spouses. Using data from the Current Population Survey and Health and Retirement Study, we employ a difference-in-differences strategy to compare the labor market behavior of the wives of older male veterans and non-veterans before and after the VA health benefits expansion. Our findings suggest that although household labor supply may decrease because of the income effect, wives' labor supply increases, suggesting that financial incentives dominate complementarities of spousal leisure. This effect is strongest for wives with lower education levels and lower levels of household wealth. Moreover, wives with employer-provided health insurance in the previous year remain on the job while those without increase their hours, suggesting incentives to retain or obtain health insurance. Finally, non-working wives enter the labor force, those who were working part-time increase their hours, and full-time "career" women are largely unaffected.

Poll: Rookie Anchor Fired
A weekend news anchorman for a Bismarck, North Dakota television station says he was fired after he opened his first-ever broadcast with obscenities.
A.J. Clemente says on Twitter that KFYR-TV fired him Monday.
The NBC affiliate said in an earlier statement that Clemente was suspended following the Sunday evening broadcast. General Manager Dick Heidt says he can't discuss the incident because it's a personnel matter.
The station posted an apology online, and co-anchorwoman Van Tieu also apologized during the 10 p.m. newscast.
After the on-air gaffe, Clemente introduced himself as a West Virginia graduate who said he was "very excited" about joining the anchor desk.
Video of Clemente's two-word uttering was immediately posted online via social media sites, and the hashtag "Keep AJ" started trending on Twitter in support of him.
Clemente tweeted after the broadcast: "That couldn't have gone any worse!"
Tonight in the Daily Pulse we're wondering: Should a broadcast anchor be terminated after saying an obscenity on the air? Yes or no? Why or why not?
