Skip to comments.Why so many LDS threads?
Posted on 05/08/2008 5:04:47 PM PDT by Grig
I am posting this on behalf of many LDS freepers. They will post their own 'signature' to this in the comments below. --- Some of you have noticed lately a lot of LDS (ie: Mormon) threads here on FR. I'm going to tell you why.
For many years there have been several active LDS freepers here. We post to all the forums on relevant issues, and were happy to have a site where conservative values were so openly welcomed.
Those conservative values include faith in God, and freedom of religion. We fully respect the rights of all posters to express their opinions and views on religious matters, even when people choose to use those rights to express criticism of our own faith. We also support the ideas embodied in FR rules against religion bashing. There is no need for hostility and there should be no room for bigotry on FR. Every religion has it's miracles and mysteries. Every faith has things in it that are not or can not be proven, and things that run contrary to what secular science would have us believe. Someone mature and confident in their own faith generally doesn't feel the need to belittle the faith of others.
We have, to the best of our ability, conducted ourselves with civility and dignity. We do not feel that that respect has been returned by some posters (putting it mildly).
When Mormon missionaries were murdered, the moderators were kept busy pulling jubilant posts off the thread. When Elizabeth Smart was abducted from her home, we contended for months with posters who appeared to be motivated by religious bigotry doing all they could to smear the family and accuse the father. Several posters openly admitted their religious motivation in opposing Mitt Romney and confessed that no matter how conservative any Mormon was, they would never vote for one for President of the USA. When the Pope died, I don't think any Mormon poster posted anything unkind, yet the thread about the passing of our President recently needed many comments removed.
Nearly every thread having any connection with Mormons, or Utah winds up being hijacked by anti-Mormon activists who copy and paste the same false accusations over and over even when it has been clearly and factually pointed out to them on multiple occasions that they are bearing false witness against our faith. Everything possible is done by these activists to make FR a hostile place for Mormons, and for at least some of them, bashing Mormonism is all they do here. Their most recent project is trying to blur the fact that the polygamous FLDS is a separate and distinct religion from ours, just as Lutherans are a separate and distinct religion from Catholicism.
In our opinion, such poster do a great disservice to FR and to their fellow freepers by spreading disinformation and promoting hostility towards a people known for walking the walk of conservative values.
Why the moderators here don't see the behavior of these anti-Mormon activists as religion bashing is a mystery to us, but it is the moderators call to make and we respect their right to do so. That doesn't mean we have to be passive however. We have all spent many hours refuting the accusations leveled at our faith, but these wind up buried deep in a flood of comments, effectively shouting us down.
Recently some of us have decided to take a more proactive approach. Rather than try to wrestle the pig into taking a bath, we are just going to hose it down. We will actively define our faith here rather than just respond to accusations.
So expect to see lots of Mormon threads, now and for as long as we see fit to keep posting them (although probably not as many as there are Catholic threads). They will be about our basic doctrines and responses to common accusations. If you want to know what our faith is about, read the articles we post. We will post them as open threads and I encourage you to compare the difference in tone and spirit between what we post and what our critics say.

Thanks for the warning.
And you find that judging a person's fitness for president cannot legitimately take into account whether he believes certain things?
I will elaborate, if you wish, but I fear that you might brand any criticism as "anti-Mormon" if it is strongly worded, regardless of its validity.
This is an opinion forum. There are freepers of many denominations and even some atheist.

I'm not a Mormon but I like Mormons as much as I like Protestants, Catholics and Jews. I think you are being overly sensitive. I too have noticed an uptick in LDS related threads casting LDS in a less than positive light. However, I took that as being due to disruptors worried about the campaign of Romney and now worried about McCain tapping Romney for VP.
That said, it appears to me that many FReepers hold an irrational hatred for Mormons which became evident after the Presidential campaign of Mitt Romney seemed viable.
I have nothing against Mormons or any other peaceful religion. However, I'm not especially thrilled by the prospect of more religious postings that have nothing to do with the news or current events - including especially the ever increasing number of daily Catholic prayers, devotionals, etc. They aren't newsworthy IMO and while I'm sure there are many here who may enjoy reading them, I think that type of posting should go on its own board or in a different section than "News."
Just my opinion.
Many Freepers have thrown civility out the window this election cycle in favor of rude behavior. Frankly I thought Freepers were far above throwing each under the bus but many have saved thier vitriol for their FRiends when they should have been using it on America's foes, foreign and domestic.
This is very disapointing but it is the most bizzare election cycle I've ever seen and Ive seen quite a few.
We have been posting them to the religion forum. The moderators, having very similar concerns as we have, decided on their own for a time to move open LDS threads to the News section.
RM, since the News forum was affected by this, can this thread exist in both forums, or would it be ok to post it again there?
Signed by restornu
I have no quarrel with LDS folks who are honest about the teachings of their Church. It has been my experience, however, that a segment of the Mormon posters have been less than candid about the history and teachings of their faith.
As for Illbay, I didn't know he was a Mormon. I also thought he was well and long gone.
And finally, if you all want to run a Mormon governor for president, try Huntsman - at least he's conservative, rather than a Yankee liberal.
It's not rude to call a lie a lie.
When Mormon missionaries were murdered, the moderators were kept busy pulling jubilant posts off the thread. When Elizabeth Smart was abducted from her home, we contended for months with posters who appeared to be motivated by religious bigotry doing all they could to smear the family and accuse the father.
People were happy young people were murdered? I find it sooooo hard to believe. Elizabeth / father probably because it is generally the father who does these things, not because they are lds.
I have to agree. I'm really astonished by the bigotry that has been posted on FR from time to time. For my own personal beliefs I have no preference.
There is NOTHING wrong about not voting for someone based solely on the candidates choice of religion. That's exactly what Utah did WRT Mike Huckabee and John McCain.
Too many Mormons here who were offended that some FReepers wouldn't vote for Mitt because he IS NOT CONSERVATIVE, repeatedly drug out the anti-mormon card in their arguments.
Keep posting, the more informed the masses are of LDS beliefs and doctrines, the better off we'll all be. I for one don't think you will be helping your own cause at all. We'll see.
I do have one itching question though, why aren't the initials COJCOLDS or CJCLDS, seems to me either one would be more accurate.
I haven't seen this many LSD threads since Timothy Leary died.
I don't mind reading up on things that I don't know about. I am a Catholic & just would like my deceased family left alone. But I am not bashing Mormons. I have a problem with any person who has sex with minors & practices polygamy where my tax dollars have to pay for their family. Be it FLDS or Muslims. Its not fair & its illegal. I do keep an open mind to reading about any religion so please continue the threads. Thanks!
You are correct, regardless of the religion or lack thereof, the father/husband is the number one suspect, if something bad happens to a child or a spouse. The reason you cited is why they are the suspect.
That is a common internet problem. It is not specific to your particular issue.
The only effective response you can mount is to:
1) Report all abusive posts to the moderator.
2) Reply to the post and refute the allegations.
3) Start your own website where you can moderate the posts.
By the way, most people just weed through the false posts and ignore them. So you are not being shouted down. Your views get heard and registered when you post them. Actively proselytizing your faith is not appropriate to the mission of this site. Such a response will probably get the moderators cracking down on you.
If you have no opinion on a subject you have no basis to judge what is bigotry and what is truth.
I fully support your right to post anything you wish about
mormonism or any other religious belief. I'm with you 100%.
I am also for the free expression of FReepers who disagree
to post their opinions also. I'm with them 100%.
I am against attacks against individual posters, simply
because they hold a differing opinion. I have seen mormons
do this as often as non-mormons. So while you are "hosing
down the pig, be sure you point the hose in all directions.
"People were happy young people were murdered? I find it sooooo hard to believe."
I was there, I saw it. Some freepers were quite happy that there were two less Mormon missionaries around and said so loud and proud.
"Elizabeth / father probably because it is generally the father who does these things, not because they are lds."
Oh it went way, way beyond that. There was a concerted effort to transform the story into a scandal for the church via the father. Again, I was there and saw it myself, as did many others.
Simply formulate your SQL query to exclude religion forum postings.
I am not saying you don't believe what you say, it is unbelievable that it was how you remember.
SQL query? I have no idea what you're talking about. I don't do any query. Nor do I want to.
We need to bash some Seventh-Day Adventists for a change.
Anyone got any Ellen G. White anecdotes?
Signed by Old Mountain Man.
Not true. I've been around here for 10 years and the same haters, devoid of the love they preach, have been doing this nonstop. I too am not mormon.
And you continue to wonder why Christians....oppose mormonism?
BTW, do you think that FLDS being in the news has had any effect on the number of LDS threads?
Are you serious?
Oh, yeah, I gotcha.
So why does everybody keep talking about Mormons?
Signed by invincibily ignorant, a non-mormon.
In my opinion, you are a blatent liar and I'm calling you out.
Here is a link to the thread about the Mormon missionaries. You can read for yourself why it was locked.
Go to the last page of this thread. It was MORMON trolls who got the thread locked.
Signed by colorcountry - former Mormon, and now you all can see why.
Frankly, I want to see more Hare Krishna posts.
No, but it's bashing.
I too have been here 10 years and we'll have to agree to disagree on this. Inter-faith sniping does take place here but I noticed no unusual amount directed at LDS until Romney presented himself as a serious candidate.

See my page by clicking my name to see refutations that were so common I just made a page at FR to address them.
Well, that explains it.
Illbay? A previously banned FReeper?
Why is he posting in absentia?
I thought that was frowned on by the head honchos.
Lets just say he is no longer a Mormon.
He has received hateful freepmail from his former fellow believers. They don't like when someone leaves.
So, that requires an active "opt out".
Sort of like someone sending unsolicited spam and saying that they can unsubscribe at any time.

What defines a employee engagement may well define member engagement, too.
Who doesn't like penguins?
In preparation for my webinar in February and my session at GreatIdeas! in March, both of which are on enhancing member engagement, I read a great article in Inc. Magazine entitled "13 Quotes That Define Employee Engagement." When reading it I realized that this could well be used to define member engagement as well. In fact, as we as an industry explore alternative membership models I would put forth that a the "employees" of an organization are "members" of that organization and the motivational elements are very similar if not the same.
Following are a few of the quotes and an idea or two on what that looks like with membership.
1) Stimulate Personal Investment! "When people are financially invested, they want a return. When people are emotionally invested, they want to contribute."--Simon Sinek. One form of "personal investment" could be volunteering. When members volunteer they become emotionally invested in the organization as well. Promote volunteering, even a simple afternoon's bit of work, and you'll help your member get more out of the association as well as increase the potential for their renewing their membership. WIN WIN!!
2) "The only way to do great work is to love what you do."--Steve Jobs. Again, when someone volunteers they get a chance to see what they do from a different perspective -- a possible "paradigm shift" as per Covey. This might help them enjoy their career even more. Education and Training offers members a chance to increase their Personal ROI by enhancing their opportunity to assume more responsibility, make more money, or simply have more leisure time because they can do their tasks faster. While neither of these guarantee that the member will "love" your association, but I hope they'll feel a bit "warmer" towards you.
3) "The way your employees feel is the way your customers will feel. And if your employees don't feel valued, neither will your customers."--Sybil F. Stershic. We all value our members. But do you tell them that? Do you show them that? Include in your regular communications a few member testimonials about the association. Always clearly explain how a service, conference, product, etc. (feature) benefits the member. Don't assume that they know. "Networking" is not a benefit (and it barely describes a "feature"). You must describe what the member will get for participating.
4) "Research indicates that workers have three prime needs: Interesting work, recognition for doing a good job, and being let in on things that are going on in the company."--Zig Ziglar. These are the same for members. You can easily define the value of membership by how the features can be used by the member to realize the benefit.
5) "The simple act of paying positive attention to people has a great deal to do with productivity.--Tom Peters. Members have the same needs. The trick is to understand how they define "Interesting..." "Recognition..." and "Being let it..." So ask them! Listen to what they say and watch what they do through qualitative research; quantitative research; reports on products purchased, events attended; data-analytics and modeling of your member database to see trends and understand what's driving them. Then use this information to develop a strategy for the association that helps make the association interesting, where members feel recognized for their work and they feel informed on what the association is doing and where it is going.

Membership Pricing Models: Value Based Pricing and the Van Westendorp Price Sensitivity Meter
In recent months many of my clients and friends have asked me about pricing strategy. Therefore, I thought I would share a basic definition of Value-Based pricing and one tool that I've used to determine a pricing model, the Van Westendorp Price Sensitivity Meter.
Value-based pricing (also value optimized pricing) is a pricing strategy most often used for products sold on emotions, where prices are set based upon the customer or member's perceived value of the product or service. Used correctly, it will improve profitability (as you maximizing the price) without having a negative impact on sales volumes.
Most often, primary research methods (surveys) are employed to gain customer insights, identifying the value a customer attributes to a product or a service. Purchase intent, win/loss analysis and financial value measurement are examples of basic research methods that can unearth customer insights during the pricing process. The results of such surveys often depict a customer's 'willingness to pay.'
The principal difficulty is that the willingness of the customer to pay a certain price differs between customers, between countries, even for the same customer in different settings (depending on his actual and present needs), so that a true value-based pricing at all times is impossible. This is why data-collection employs the use of "open-ended questions," allowing the researcher freedom to identify "price ranges" based upon response clustering (which aids in determination of statistical significance in analysis).
The framework that I am most familiar with for determining pricing is the...
Van Westendorp Price Sensitivity Meter.
The traditional PSM (Price Sensitivity Meter) approach asks four price-related questions, which are then evaluated as a series of four cumulative distributions, one distribution for each question. The standard question formats can vary, but generally take the following form:
- At what price would you consider the product to be so expensive that you would not consider buying it? (Too expensive)
- At what price would you consider the product to be priced so low that you would feel the quality couldn't be very good? (Too cheap)
- At what price would you consider the product starting to get expensive, so that it is not out of the question, but you would have to give some thought to buying it? (Expensive/High Side)
- At what price would you consider the product to be a bargain—a great buy for the money? (Cheap/Good Value)
The cumulative frequencies are then plotted. Note that the standard method requires that two of the four cumulative frequencies must be inverted in order to have the possibility of four intersecting points (usually the cumulative frequencies for "too cheap" and "cheap" are inverted for analysis).
A common description of the point where the "too cheap" and "expensive" lines cross is the "point of marginal cheapness" or PMC (the lower point of the price range). Similarly, the intersection of the "too expensive" and "cheap" lines, sometimes described as the "point of marginal expensiveness" or PME, can be viewed as the upper bound of an acceptable price range.
Intersections where there is generally more agreement is the point at which the "expensive" line crosses the "cheap" line. This is described as the "indifference price point" or IPP. The IPP refers to the price at which an equal number of respondents rate the price point as either "cheap" or "expensive".
Finally, the "optimal price point" (OPP) is found at the point where the "too cheap" and "too expensive" lines intersect. This is the point at which an equal number of respondents describe the price as exceeding either their upper or lower limits. Optimal in this sense refers to the fact that there is an equal trade-off in extreme sensitivities to the price at both ends of the price spectrum.
Here are some examples of the output and how to read it.
Good luck and please feel free to contact me (email@example.com or 703.706.0358) if I can be of any assistance.

Business Intelligence for Association and Membership Marketers: An Icy Experience!
|An association's market is a lot like an ice-burg!
While for many associations the overall size of their market and the basic responsibilities and needs of their members appears to remain the same, like an ice burg where over 90% of its volume and mass is underwater, there is a great deal more going on under the water than is easily seen with a casual glance.
The association leaders who understand and appreciate this are the ones who will keep their association from running aground on the unseen ice.
During this period of strategic planning and budget development, many of you are looking to better understand your membership, prospective members and stakeholders by performing a "Market Assessment."
A market assessment has an important role to play in your strategic planning as it helps us understand the size and number of potential members and customers so we can set realistic goals for revenue and market share; and, the "market needs" which helps determine product development and marketing.
Breaking this down to its elementary components, we are seeking information in the following in the following three areas:
Target Market and Market Trends
- Detail the size of the market broken out by segment/region.
- Estimate potential growth and determine if the market is stable/mature/growing/shrinking.
- Identify major factors driving growth and any restraints or risks.
Members, Customers and Sales
- Identify/classify potential members/customers
- Assess competition per:
- Features of membership and other products
- Types of members and customers
- Who buys what, when?
- Trends
- Pricing
- Review advantages and disadvantages of these products/services in relation to satisfying member and customer needs
- Review the unique value proposition for your membership and products verses the competition
- Discuss if our membership and products address current market issues in the short or long term.
The tools to collect the data necessary to answer these questions fall into three areas:
Primary research - any type of research that you go out and collect yourself. It is discussed in terms of being:
- Quantitative – used to determine the relationship between one thing and another and helps identify causality by isolating a number of variables and looking at the relationships between them (statistical significance). Usually use surveys to collect this information.
- Qualitative – is directional, aimed at providing a general description of a population, identifying overarching trends and exploring issues. It is often used to assist researchers in designing the questions used in a survey for a quantitative study. Tools usually used for this type of research include online focus groups, executive interviews and trade-show intercepts.
Secondary research - the systematic review and summary, collation and/or synthesis of existing research. Sources include academic papers, economic reports, trade publications, previous studies, etc.
Data-analytics – at its simplest definition is the discovery and communication of meaningful patterns in data. Using your internal database of member and customer transactions (both financial as well as social), analysis of the relationships between key data-elements within your database can turn it into a relevant source of business intelligence identifying, developing and possibly creating new strategic opportunities for the association. The tools used to accomplish this are usually include descriptive statistics, exploratory data analysis, confirmatory data analysis and predictive analytics.
If you have any questions concerning your current membership marketing program, how research and data-analytics might help you improve the impact of your program, or how to best present your plan to leadership, please contact me, Erik Schonher, at 703.706.0358 and firstname.lastname@example.com.

Tactical Planning: Outlining a Successful Online Awareness Plan Using Lead Generation Techniques
The goal of this post is to provide a "schema" for a basic online awareness program. This is not intended to be the "end-all-of-be-all" for online promotions. Please don't go there. More importantly, it's to simply provide an overview based upon a number of different programs that I've designed or participated in designing. Also, I want to thank Todd Michaels for his time and talent and expertise.
- Set appropriate expectations and quantifiable goals.
- Be sure that the offer IS compelling to the prospect.
- Clearly establish what you want the prospect to do in each phase of the program.
- Provide quality content in every step of the process.
- Be consistent in your presentation and content.
- Monitor and track response rates.
Sample Program: Client is launching a new website and they are looking to drive engagement.
Stated Goal: To drive awareness of the new website and encourage engagement, over the next 3 months we will use targeted online advertising and search to entice prospects from each of the target markets to visit and download materials that are available through the new website. Success will be measured by the number of downloads of Materials by each segment.
Therefore, we will collect:
- First and last name
- Title
- Company/Association
- email mail address
Therefore, to analyze the results we will track the following by each market segment:
- Number of ad presentations by version and by placement
- Click-thrus by ad version and by placement
- Time spent on the landing page
- Request completions
- Total Downloads
- Opens for each of the follow up emails
- Number of conversions
Step 1: Understand the online behavior of your target markets using keyword and social monitoring tools to identify key topics and content within target audience.
Step 2: Identify offers that are compelling to the target market(s). I usually end up using a whitepaper as the content is easily available through my client and the actual product is inexpensive to create. Be sure that your creative is in line with your brand and is written in such a way as to entice your audience. You'll end up testing the creative so be prepared to see some work and some just flop.
Step 3: Select the online media and place the ads accordingly. This must be monitored daily and revised as needed.
Step 4: Create the Landing Page. Again, consistent in your brand and visually enticing. Include messaging that tells the prospect about the premium. You still must sell it. Be clear as to what the prospect must do in order to receive the premium. Don't hide it. Don't be illusive. Clear and simple.
Once down loaded, send the prospect a "thank you" and then send 3 to 5 follow up emails to entice them to explore the website and your association. (be sure to track this activity)
Each email should offer the prospect links to pertinent information on the website with the goal of their engaging with the website and enhancing their personal experience. In case they are not members, be sure that there is a link to the join-page.
Step 5: From the landing page send them directly to the new website.
I hope that you found this useful. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at 703.706.0358 or email@example.com

The 2014 Membership Marketing Benchmarking Report continues to provide a very interesting picture of the changes that we're seeing in membership marketing.
While "Word of Mouth" continues to be included in the "Top Three" category, it is interesting to note the changes noticed in the the other two slots.
"I'm Baaaack." Direct Mail - A Proven Performer
Direct Mail returns to the Top Three for IMOs. While it seemed to fall out of favor last year, its interesting to note the trend within our industry back to print media. I guess the pendulum swings both ways. Its our experience that direct mail is an important channel for direct response marketing given its ability to deliver an individualized offer to a targeted prospects within a market and then effectively track the responses.
While the "Association Website" seems to have dropped out from this list, there is no question in anybody's mind that your website remains to be, in essence, your "office receptionist" as anybody who has a question about what you do and how you do it researches your website first before making a call.
The 2014 Membership Marketing Benchmarking Report will be available on June 17, 2014, at the ASAE MMCC where I will be speaking. If you'd like me to save a copy for you, please let me know.
If you have any questions in regard to my services as a consultant, or the services provided by MGI, please feel free to contact me via email at firstname.lastname@example.com

What I'd really like is more story, it's clear you've worked on the tiles but with no scripting and no story it's pretty bare... Couldn't you create some back story about the region or something that still manages to avoid too many spoilers?
Thanks. About the grass I actually like it. I didn't like it at first but I then got used to it and found out it actually looks good. I don't find anything wrong with the rug but ill probably try and make it more roundish. Yeah about the tree its supposed to be behind the house sooo... I can indeed create a backstory on the region which I'll do soon. Well I did work on the story and d have some amazing ideas but I don;t wanna say much yet,

That way they just don't look right while the top of the tree moves and the bottom don't.
*1st indoor screenshot*
In this image I'd reinsert the carpet into the TV's palette (It it isn't already).
And giving the center of it the lighter blue colour.
That yellow lightish colour is probably because in that palette you were using were only 2 blueish colours.
Doing so will make it look better then it already does.
*5th screenshot*
The wild grass doesn't really fit.
But that is just my opinion.
If you chose to change it, try 9 tile grass maybe that will look better.
All around its one of the better hacks.
You will probably get some problems later in game if you go wtih that style of houses.
Zein has only 32 houses in that style, and you probably wont be able to make an entire region with 32 houses.
Id like to see a screenshot where the mountain tiles were used.
Btw the mapping isn't that bad either.
Thanks. I'll definitely take into consideration everything you said. And I'll show the Mountain tiles soon. :>

Nearly a dozen local writers served as guest booksellers Saturday at Boswell Book Company as part of an Indies First campaign spearheaded by Sherman Alexie.
While the writers were happy to sign copies of their own books, they were eager to talk with visitors about books they enjoyed reading and recommend to others. I talked with four of them Saturday: »Read Full Blog Post

Contested Internet TV service Aereo setting up in state
A new television service is scheduled to launch in 11 Wisconsin counties in early 2014, offering customers basic channels for a subscription price starting at $8 per month — provided the service survives lawsuits from broadcasters who say it steals their copyrighted material.
Already, Aereo Inc. has expanded throughout the New York metropolitan area, Boston, Atlanta, Detroit and five other cities — with plans to enter Chicago and much of central Wisconsin soon. »Read Full Article(49)
Milwaukee Rep makes spirit of 'Christmas Carol' burn bright
In the cast biography he wrote for the Milwaukee Repertory Theater's 38th edition of "A Christmas Carol,"Jim Pickering catalogs the numerous roles he has played in his 26 Rep "Carols," before naming each of the adapters as well as set and costume designers who made them possible.
It's a beautifully rendered tribute that also channels the core message in what Pickering rightly calls "the greatest secular fable of human redemption ever written": our ability to change and grow, playing many roles and living multiple lives, if we can but open our hearts to the love and dedication of those many people challenging us to be our best selves. »Read Full Article

Don's Rail Photos
Chicago North Shore & Milwaukee
Two modern high speed trains were built by St. Louis Car in 1941. Construction began in July 1940, and 801-802 was the first completed in January 1941. 802-803 followed soon afterwards. Soon after arrival, the pilots were remodelled to bring them closer to the rail, and angle guards were added to the car sides to protect the underbody gear. During the next 22 years, the trains each rolled up 450 miles per day. A substitute train of standard cars with a diner was used when one of the trains was out of service. After abandonment in 1963, the trains were sold to Philadelphia Suburban Transportation to supplement their "bullet" cars. They were remodeled with extra doors and were called "Liberty Liners". They entered service in January 1964.
801-802 was named "Valley Forge". After PST, which had become Southeastern Pennsylvania Transit Authority, retired it, It went to the Illinois Railway Museum where it has been restored to the original glory.
803-804 was named "Independence Hall". It is at the Rockhill Trolley Museum in Pennsylvania where it remains in the Liberty Liner scheme.

Renting your apartment out on Airbnb? Don't worry so much about your stuff being stolen; instead, maybe freak out about whether your place will be as virginal as you left it. Prostitutes are using the online room-sharing site to set-up transient brothels.
The first rule of business? Know your customer. Brazilian sex workers are on it: The Association of Prostitutes is offering free English classes, since the Confederations Cup takes place in Brazil this June and the World Cup takes place in Brazil in June 2014. (Prostitution is legal in Brazil.)
Gary Ridgway, the Green River Killer, confessed to the murder of between 48 and 71 prostitutes in the 80s and 90s: "I picked prostitutes because I thought I could kill as many of them as I wanted without getting caught." Earlier this month — December 17th, 2012 — was the 10th annual International Day to End Violence…
The platonic ideal of internet vigilante justice (see: Anonymous holding Stuebenville accountable for the nearly covered-up rape of a teenage girl) is awesome. But there's a frightening downside: what if the accused are innocent? Even worse, what if the accusers are masquerading as do-gooders and purposefully slander…
There's a chasm between "I've thought about prostitution" and "I think I'd like to start working as a prostitute," namely the difference between wanting to make $300 an hour and wanting to suck strange dick for a living.
Greg pays me to come over to his apartment, usually with a friend, to burn his feet with cigarettes while he masturbates.
Alex Teach has been a police officer for 20 years, so he knows what he's talking about when he writes in the Chattanooga Pulse that the area's prostitutes — oh, sorry, I mean the "hideous local specimens" — are BY FAR the ugliest prostitutes in the entire nation, according to a think tank comprised of "a past crew of…
Mike Tyson — former undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, convicted rapist and pigeon enthusiast — has a one-man show (a "raw confessional") coming to Broadway. He's been on a journey, and the show will explain all that has happened. And he would like for you to know that he has changed. He is now a "wimp"…
When police in New York state arrest women for prostitution, they often use possession of condoms as evidence that she's selling her body. But now, a new law being considered may outlaw the practice of using prophylactics as proof of engaging in the world's oldest profession.
Harris's List is an 18th century catalog of London prostitutes complete with (real) names, addresses, and descriptions of each, and it proves to me just how much men throughout the ages have loved reviewing prostitutes. They love it today, they loved it 250 years ago, and my guess is that even most Egyptian…
Authorities have dropped charges against a University of New Mexico professor suspected of helping run a prostitution website. But he could still face prosecution.
As of the beginning of next year, Illinois victims of sex trafficking will have the opportunity to legally expunge their records of convictions related to their being forced into prostitution.
Silvio Berlusconi is now accused of consorting with multiple prostitutes — but he says his steady lady-friend would never allow that kind of behavior.
When sex workers talk about their needs, safety usually tops the list. So why aren't we paying attention?
Conservatives in the Canadian government announced they would appeal an Ontario court's decision to overturn bans on brothels, pimping, and soliciting. Says one official, "There's a lot of victims in that industry and we need to protect them."
This isn't the first time Kristen Simmons (not her real name) has stood before a judge in Philadelphia's criminal court. In the 26 years she's worked as a prostitute, she's been arrested 16 times and served four stints in jail.
Prostitution is a pretty vexed issue among feminists, but maybe it shouldn't be — as Thierry Schaffauser points out in the Guardian, many freedoms sex workers need for their jobs are the same rights that all women deserve.
• Former first lady Laura Bush appeared on Larry King last night where she finally admitted that she doesn't agree with her husband on abortion and gay rights. Even though she could have taken a stronger stance: good for her.
In attempts to save older customers from dying during copulation, Swiss brothel owners are training their prostitutes to operate defibrillators. "Having customers die on us isn't exactly good publicity," remarked the owner of a sex club. [Telegraph]

These days, nobody would seriously complain about the lack of anonymity tools. Besides an impressive number of ready solutions, there are purely system-level methods of maintaining online privacy. A savvy system administrator can easily configure various traffic ōroundaboutsö and ōdetoursö to conceal its source and make backtracing virtually impossible. However, all these methods usually require a great deal of knowledge and are virtually inaccessible for regular users ¢ investigators, market researchers, NGO workers and others who need reliable anonymous surfing tools. If you are skilled enough, but are not quite thrilled by the idea of having to go deeply into an entanglement of protocols, gateways, hubs and routing tables, you should check out Mask Surf Professional. Looks like it may appear just what youÆve been looking for!
Mask Surf Professional is an easy to use anonymizer based on a highly complex technology called Tor. Tor is an open project aimed at providing the highest level of security for online surfers that is pioneered by some of the best network experts in the world. Mask Surf Professional makes good use of the array of encrypted Tor tunnels and distributed servers and offers you a level of protection youÆve never imagined. The professional edition of the application is geared for advanced users that need more control and flexibility than regular surfers. It features an ability to select the country that the software will use to emulate the userÆs location, which makes it possible to go around geo-specific browsing or access restrictions. Users can also specify alternative anonymity tests to be used by the application and switch between them to ensure that no real IP address is being recorded by the visited resources.
Mask Surf Pro will be an ideal solution for experienced users who need the functionality of the standard edition and yet would like to be more flexible in terms of controlling specific aspects of their online activities.
Windows XP, Vista, and 7
Install Notes
1. Install Mask.Surf.Pro.v2.5.

Surfer Blood to Make Triumphant Return to Respectable Street
We can't go one week without singing the praises of West Palm Beach quintet Surfer Blood. After all, local kids bursting onto the national scene with write-ups in Rolling Stone, Spin, and Pitchfork in less than 11 months of existence doesn't happen all too often. So why not relish in a little local pride? See what all the fuss is about Tuesday when this lauded college-radio staple returns to its original stomping grounds: Respectable Street.
Surfer Blood's tour mates, Nashville's Turbo Fruits, are also a treat. The trio shares the Buzzcocks' knack for marrying punk slosh with sugary pop hooks. Add West Palm Beach duo the Dewars, a local duo that radiates a skuzzy Kinks' vibe — not a bad template for a band that could follow in Surfer Blood's heavily hyped footsteps. Assuredly, attendees will leave with their fingers firmly planted on the pulse of local indie music, both emerging and fully emerged.

CBNNews.com - JERUSALEM, Israel - The Defense Ministry expects to have 500 concrete structures in place to protect southern residents from Palestinian rocket fire by year's end.
According to the Defense Ministry, the project is being accelerated during the temporary cease-fire, which began June 19 and continues despite occasional rocket fire from Gaza.
This week's distribution of 200 units completes phase one of the $4.2 million project.
The Defense Ministry will choose three companies to build the remaining 300 structures so the work can be accelerated.
Deputy Defense Minister Matan Vilnai wants to place additional structures near schools before classes begin in September. Each unit can hold 60 to 70 children.
"I hope the other ministries will help advance the project because the reality can change tomorrow morning," Vinai said.

Football Manager 2014 is coming out at the end of next month, which is good news for fans of the long-running football management simulator and less good news for their long-suffering loved ones.
The game will be released on October 31, its manufacturer SI has confirmed.
#FM14 release date is Thursday October 31st at 00.01am GMT. Tech video blog with lots of cool stuff now up at http://t.co/O5DXpi94TE— Miles Jacobson (@milesSI) September 13, 2013
The franchise, which has a reputation for incredible levels of depth and accuracy, has been teasing new developments in the latest edition of the game for several weeks.
FM2013 was the most successful version of the game yet in terms of sales, with 940,000 copies of the game sold by the end of March 2013.
Such is the effect the game has on some fans that, according to Iain Macintosh in the Metro, it has been cited by name in 35 divorce cases in Britain.

Connecticut Timeshare Foreclosure and Right to Cancel Laws
Learn about Connecticut timeshare laws, including contract disclosures, the right to cancel, and foreclosure procedures and protections.
The Connecticut Time Share Act provides protections to people who are purchasing timeshares in the state. Under the Act, the developer must give you certain disclosures before you buy a timeshare and you have the right to cancel the timeshare contract (for a limited period of time), among other things. However, if you don't make your timeshare mortgage payments or pay the assessments, the timeshare is subject to foreclosure.
Read on to find out some of the most important parts of Connecticut's timeshare law.
Timeshare Disclosure Statement
In Connecticut, before a prospective purchaser signs a timeshare agreement, the developer must provide a disclosure statement that includes the following information (among other things):
- the type of timeshare plan offered
- the name and address of the developer
- a description of the duration and operation of the timeshare plan
- a description of the existing or proposed accommodations
- the projected common expense liability (if any)
- the projected assessments (along with a description of the method for calculating and apportioning those assessments)
- any initial fee or special fee due from the purchaser at closing (together with a description of the purpose and method of calculating the fee), and
- a description of the purchaser's right to cancel the purchase (Conn. Gen. Stat. § 42-103mm).
Cancelling a Timeshare Purchase in Connecticut
In Connecticut, you have five calendar days to cancel a timeshare agreement after:
- the date you sign and receive a copy of the contract, or
- the date you receive the required timeshare disclosure statement, whichever is later (Conn. Gen. Stat. § 42-103pp(a)).
The right of cancellation may not be waived. If the developer puts a waiver in the contract, you may void the contract (Conn. Gen. Stat. § 42-103pp (b)).
How to Cancel a Timeshare Contract in Connecticut
To cancel the contract, you can:
- hand-deliver notice of cancellation to the developer
- mail notice by prepaid United States mail
- fax notice to the developer or to the developer's agent for service of process, or
- send the notice via overnight common carrier delivery service to the developer or the developer's agent for service of process (Conn. Gen. Stat. § 42-103pp(c)). (Get more tips on how to cancel a timeshare contract.)
If you cancel, the developer must refund your money no later than:
- 20 business days after the date on which the developer receives your notice of cancellation, or
- on or before the fifth day after the date the developer receives good funds from you, whichever is later (Conn. Gen. Stat. § 42-103pp(d)).
Timeshare Sale and Resale Law
Timeshare salespeople are well known for utilizing hard-sell tactics to get you to make a snap decision about buying a timeshare.
Timeshare resellers can be even more unscrupulous. Owners often find it extremely difficult to sell their timeshares since there is virtually no after-market for them. As a result, scam artists have popped up who falsely tell timeshare owners that there is a ready and willing buyer for the timeshare -- but the timeshare owners must pay hundreds or thousands of dollars in upfront fees to process the transaction. After the timeshare owner pays the fees, the scammer often disappears.
Connecticut law provides protections to shield consumers from deceptive sales practices and resale scams.
Real Estate License Required
A timeshare resale broker must be licensed as a real estate broker (Conn. Gen. Stat. § 42-103bbb(a)(1)).
Misrepresentation Is Illegal
Connecticut law prohibits timeshare sellers and resellers from (among other things):
- making false or materially misleading statements about the timeshare transaction
- representing that a prize, gift, or other benefit will be awarded in connection with a promotion (if they have no intention of awarding that prize, gift or benefit), and
- failing to provide a copy of the purchase contract to the purchaser at the time the contract is signed (Conn. Gen. Stat. § 42-103tt).
Consumer Protections Regarding Prizes and Promotions
Timeshare sellers are notorious for getting people to attend sales presentations by offering free gifts or awards. Under Connecticut law, an advertisement that contains a promotion in connection with the offering of a timeshare interest must include:
- a statement to the effect that the promotion is intended to sell timeshares
- the full name of the developer of the timeshare property, and
- the full name and address of any marketing company involved in the promotion of the timeshare property (if applicable) (Conn. Gen. Stat. § 42-103ll(c)).
Promotion rules must be disclosed. If a promotion uses free offers, gift enterprises, drawings, sweepstakes, or discounts, the rules of the promotion must be disclosed and must include:
- the day and the year by which all prizes listed or offered will be awarded, and
- the method by which all prizes are to be awarded (Conn. Gen. Stat. § 42-103ll(d)).
(At least one of each prize featured in a promotion must be awarded by the day and year specified in the promotion (Conn. Gen. Stat. § 42-103ll(e)).
A written disclosure about the prizes is also required. Any promotion offering prizes must disclose in conspicuous type:
- the value of each prize
- the odds of winning each prize, and
- any conditions or restrictions that apply to the receipt of the prize or void the receipt of the prize (Conn. Gen. Stat. § 42-103ll(f)).
The disclosure must be provided to the potential purchaser in writing or electronically:
- at least once before a scheduled sales presentation, and
- in a reasonable period before the scheduled sales presentation to ensure that the recipient receives the disclosures before leaving to attend the sales presentation (Conn. Gen. Stat. § 42-103ll(g)).
Timeshare Foreclosures
If you take out a loan to purchase an interest in a deeded timeshare and fail to make your timeshare mortgage payments or keep up with the assessments, you will likely face foreclosure (Conn. Gen. Stat. § 42-103yy). (In addition to monthly mortgage payments, timeshare owners are ordinarily responsible for maintenance fees, special assessments, utilities, and taxes, collectively referred to as "assessments."

via Former Pratt Engineer Mozaffar Khazaee Given 8-Year Sentence For Attempt To Deliver Secrets To Iran – Hartford Courant
A former Pratt & Whitney engineer was sentenced to more than eight years in prison Friday for attempting to deliver what federal prosecutors called "highly sensitive" information about military jet engines to Iran.
Mozaffar Khazaee, 61, formerly of Manchester, was sentenced to 97 months and ordered to pay a $50,000 fine by U.S. District Judge Vanessa L. Bryant for violating the Arms Export Control Act.
Khazaee was accused of trying to send to Iran proprietary, trade-secret and export-controlled material relating to U.S. military jet engines, which he had stolen from Pratt and other U.S. defense contractors where he had worked. In addition to Pratt, Khazaee had been employed by General Electric and Rolls-Royce.
Bryant, at the urging of federal prosecutors, imposed a sentence that exceeded the 57- to 72-month sentence recommended by the advisory sentencing guidelines used in federal court.
"Violations of the Arms Export Control Act, particularly those involving attempts to transfer sensitive defense technology to a foreign power, are among the most significant national security threats we face, and we will continue to leverage the criminal justice system to prevent, confront, and disrupt them," said John P. Carlin, assistant attorney general for national security.
While living in Connecticut in 2013, prosecutors said, Khazaee tried to send a shipping container to Iran that was packed with thousands of sensitive technical manuals, specification sheets, test results, technical drawings and data and other proprietary material relating to U.S. military jet engines, including those relating to the U.S. Air Force's F35 Joint Strike Fighter program and the F-22 Raptor.
Khazaee was arrested in January 2014 while trying to board a flight to Iran at Newark Liberty International Airport. A search of his luggage turned up more protected materials concerning jet engines and $59,945 in cash.

How stupid did Pratt & Whitney have to be to employ an Iranian engineer? Mozaffar Khazaee was sentenced Friday to eight years in prison for attempting to carry sensitive material about the engines for the U.S. Air Force's F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and F-22 Raptor as he left for Iran. He was arrested at the Newark International Airport in January 2014.
Khazaee was raised in Iran and entered to this country to attend the University of Oklahoma, later earning a doctorate in mechanical engineering from New Mexico State University. Interestingly, Washington doesn't mind thousands of foreign students from unfriendly nations studying technology and other useful subjects. Literally hundreds of thousands of Chinese from the communist People's Republic are currently taking valued college slots, along with quite a number of Saudis (thanks to some cheapie social engineering from George W. Bush a decade ago). This year saw a record number of foreign students attending American universities, where the full tuition checks are welcome.

Here's our first look match report from a rocking Twickenham.
England will be jubilant, Wales will go again next week against Scotland.
As we take some time out to get our breath back that concludes our live coverage today.
Tune into our dedicated 2014 Six Nations page all this week for all the latest build-up to the final weekend.
And make sure you join us next week for all the drama as this year's tournament goes down to wire.
England coach Stuart Lancaster is understandably proud of his team, but has one eye on next weekend already:
"I'm really proud. We set our attacking intent from the start. We didn't get everything right and Leigh Halfpenny punished our indiscipline but we were deserved winners.
"We've got a big game next week now, we're still in the fight and we want to be ready for Italy.
"Wales got one over us last year and that was in the back of our minds but this is our day and I'm delighted and proud for the boys.
"We can only control our performance and Italy will be wanting to put on a display, so we'll need to be ready for that."
With that it's all up for grabs heading into the final weekend.
Stuart Lancaster's men travel to Rome next week knowing they have it all to do to overhaul Ireland at the top of the table.
Or old enemies France could do them a favour and knock them over in Paris.
The plot thickens.
FT: England 29-18 Wales. Revenge for England, a Triple Crown too. They go equal with Ireland at top, but trail Irish by 49 on points diff.— Alex Spink (@alexspinkmirror) March 9, 2014
That's it!
England have won the Triple Crown and gained some revenge for the Cardiff mauling 12 months ago.
Farrell was literally faultless with the boot, while ferocious defence kept the Welsh from breaching their try line.
Full time at Twickenham: England 29 Wales 18. Stuart Lancaster's side win first RBS 6 Nations Triple Crown since 2003 #silverware— England Rugby (@EnglandRugby) March 9, 2014
Yet more drama as Liam Williams is deemed to have taken out Mike Brown as he kicked ahead.
Penalty England.
And instead of opting for goal, Farrell hammers the ball into touch.
We're into time-wasting time here at Twickenham and England hold all the cards.
Tick tock.
Burrell blazes into the corner as England look to hammer the final nail in.
But is he in touch??
TMO says he most certainly was and it's a lineout to Wales.
Some tackle by Halfpenny to save Wales' skin too.
Five left. England 29-18 Wales
Sweet Chariot resonates around Twickers. The home faithful are urging their men on as they look to close out a famous win.
Both teams beginning to tire but showing no sign of it as they continue to fight and claw for every inch.
(Any Given Sunday reference there for the eagle-eyed)
Territory is increasingly hard to come by, but Dan Biggar's booming boot fires Wales deep into England's 22.
Big moment ahead.
Away from the Twickenham drama for a second.
Unless you were hidden under a rock all day yesterday, it won't have escaped your notice that Ireland's Brian O'Driscoll became the world's most-capped player.
BOD has just tweeted this letter he received from the Wales RFU. Classy touch.
One of many things to make yesterday such a special day. Was overwhelmed by the crowd reaction & atmosphere. pic.twitter.com/a0VH7mi80n— Brian O'Driscoll (@BrianODriscoll) March 9, 2014
Did I mention this one was tit for tat.
First Halfpenny knocks over another masterful effort, but before he can even pat himself on the back Farrell is given another chance.
And, as he has all afternoon, he splits the uprights from wide on the right
England 29-18 Wales with less than 20 remaining. Game very much on.
Faz makes them pay straight away with three more added to England's total.
11 point gap. One man advantage. 25 mins left.
Big moment in the game: Jenkins is penalised again at the scrum and sees yellow. Farrell kicks pen for 26-15 lead, WAL have 14 for 10mins.— England Rugby (@EnglandRugby) March 9, 2014
I did say watch this space.
104 cap man Gethin Jenkins is off for a breather after another scrum penalty.
Ten mins in the bin for the prop.
Will England capitalise?
Wales break forwards from midfield with giants George North, Alex Cuthbert and Leigh Halfpenny getting their hands on the ball.
But for some inexplicable reason Jamie Roberts chooses a Billy Twelvetrees-esque grubber through and misjudges it.
It is diffused and England escape again.
Another pen at scrumtime against the Welsh.
Poite summons skipper Sam Warburton but no further action just yet. Watch this space though.
Farrell stands ready as Twickenham quietens to a dull hush.
No mistake once more - first blood England in the second period. 23-15 after 46 minutes.
First Joey Barton is in, now Hermione's on board. England can't fail.
Come on @EnglandRugby!!! #sixnations— Emma Watson (@EmWatson) March 9, 2014
Back at it at Twickenham.
Wales have to be happy to be only five points behind despite seeing their try line broken twice in that first period.
England will hope to continue to pile on the points while keeping their discipline.
No changes as yet from either side.
More of the same please chaps.
Missed the first half?
Never fear Mirror man Alex Spink has summed it all up neatly in 140 characters for you. Because he's nice like that.
HT: England 20-15 Wales. Two tries to nil to England but errors have kept Wales interested. Halfpenny boot on fire, which means all 2 play 4— Alex Spink (@alexspinkmirror) March 9, 2014
Can't disagree with a member of the Royal Family can we?
Fair play to @LeighHalfpenny1 he is a kicking machine #EngvsWal— mike tindall (@miketindall13) March 9, 2014
With the clock turned red for the end of the half, Jamie Roberts is upended in the air.
Referee Poite blows his whistle and Halfpenny has a chance to reduce the arrears before they head in for half-time oranges.
And of course he does.
And that's the half with the score set tantalisingly at 20-15 to the home side.
Still on a high from that score England shoot themselves in the foot. Again.
More indiscipline sees trusty #15 step up to the plate.
Need I say more. England 20-12 Wales with two to go before the break.
Our man enjoyed that one. As did the majority of Twickenham by the sounds of things.
TRY England, Luther Burrell 35 mins. Right on cue, Twelvetrees grubber, Burrell touchdown. 20-9— Alex Spink (@alexspinkmirror) March 9, 2014

MDR just picked up two more new contracts! Couldn't they spare a dividend to it's stockholders? Maybe, just maybe, it would attract those who will not invest in a company without a dividend??@3# DUh,,,,,do you think??
Seems a little early for a dividend but I'd love to see one.
Sentiment: Buy
I agree. I think it will help in reducing MDR's volatility and further attract long-term investors. There are too many day- and HF- traders hurting this stock.

The Federal Trade Commission has released the long-anticipated final amendments to its rule enforcing the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), which governs the online collection and use of personal information from children under age 13. The FTC initiated a review of the COPPA Rule in 2010 and proposed amendments in September 2011 (read our September 2011 alert on those proposed changes). As a result of overwhelming commentary on those revisions, the FTC proposed another set of amendments Aug. 1, 2012, and a further round of public comment. According to the FTC's Dec. 20, 2012, statement announcing the final amendments to the COPPA Rule, the changes reflect "careful consideration of the entire record of the rulemaking, which included a public roundtable and several rounds of public comments sought by the agency."
The final amendments makes a number of significant changes to the Rule, including enlarging the category of information deemed "personal information," the collection and use of which requires parental notice and consent; clarifying that both operators and third-party service providers of "plug-ins" to kid-directed apps and websites must comply with COPPA; revising parental notice and verifiable consent requirements; imposing more stringent data security requirements; and enlarging the FTC's oversight of self-regulatory programs. The new rules go into effect July 1, 2013.
The final amendments modify the definition of "personal information," the collection of which requires parental notice and consent, to include geolocation information, photographs, videos and audio files that contain a child's image or voice, screen or user names in cases in which these identifiers function as online contact information (defined as an e-mail or other identifier that permits direct online contact with a user), and "persistent identifiers" (a user number held in a cookie, an Internet Protocol (IP) address, a processor or device serial number, or unique device identifier), that can be used to identify users over time and across different websites or online services. The Rule does not require parental notice and consent when an operator collects a persistent identifier only to support the website or online service's internal operations (including contextual advertising, frequency capping, legal compliance, site analysis, and network communications). Absent parental notice and consent, persistent identifiers cannot be used or disclosed for other purposes, such as contacting an individual (including through behavioral advertising) or creating a profile on an individual. The final Rule does provide for a process by which industry can seek FTC approval to add additional activities to the definition of support for internal operations for which the Rule permits collection and use of persistent identifiers without parental notice or consent.
In addition, the final amendments revise the definition of "collection of personal information" so operators would not be deemed to collect information and therefore could allow children to participate in interactive communities without parental notice and consent, as long as the operators take reasonable measures to delete all or virtually all children's personal information before it is made public. This revision is a change from the "100 percent standard" under the existing rule, which required operators to delete all individually identifiable information from postings by children before they are made public, and delete this information from its records. The change is aimed, at least in part, at allowing operators to employ automated filtering programs without the risk of running afoul of the 100 percent standard.
The final amendments revise the definition of "operator" to state that "Personal information is collected or maintained on behalf of an operator when: (a) it is collected or maintained by an agent or service provider of the operator; or (b) the operator benefits by allowing another person to collect personal information directly from users of such operator's website or online service." As a result, an operator of a child-directed website, online service, or app that allows or integrates the services of third parties that collect personal information from its visitors (such as "plug-ins" or advertising networks) would be considered a covered "operator" under the Rule and therefore required to comply with parental and consent requirements. In its rulemaking, the FTC explained, however, that the revised definition does not extend liability to platforms, such as Google Play or the App Store, when they only offer the access to other parties' child-directed apps.
Concurrently, the final amended Rule includes a revised definition of "website or online service directed to children" to extend the parental notice and consent requirements to those third parties, such as providers of plug-ins and ad networks, that collect personal information when those third parties have actual knowledge that they are collecting personal information through a child-directed website or online service. The actual knowledge standard is a change from the previously proposed amendment, which imposed liability on third-party data collectors when they knew or had reason to know that they were collecting personal information from a child-directed website or service.
The final amendments also revise the definition of "child-directed website or service" to allow websites containing child-oriented content that appeals to a mixed-age audience (both children and their families, for example) to age-screen visitors and provide protections required by COPPA only to those users under age 13. The revised rule provides that the FTC will first apply its "totality of the circumstances" standard to determine whether a website or online service is directed to children, based on the list of factors enumerated in the definition (which factors are not exclusive and none of which predominates) and then whether the children under age 13 are the primary audience for the site or service. A site or service that is directed to children, but that does not target children as its primary audience, need not treat all users as under 13 and instead may use an age screen and apply COPPA's protections only to users who self-identify as under age 13. Child-directed sites or services that knowingly target children under age 13 as their primary audience or that have overall content that is likely to attract children under age 13 as their primary audience must still treat all users as children.
COPPA requires that parents be notified of an operator's information practices in two ways: through an online notice on the operator's website or online service (typically an online privacy policy), and in a direct notice delivered to a parent whose child seeks to register. The amendments revise the requirements for and propose changes to both kinds of notice. For the online notice, the amended Rule includes new requirements about placement and content of the notice. For the direct notice, the amended Rule requires operators to provide more detail about the personal information already collected from the child, the purpose of the notification, the action that the parent can take, and how the information will be used.
COPPA also requires that operators obtain verifiable parental consent prior to collecting personal information from children. The amended Rule revises the mechanisms by which operators obtain the required consent. The revisions retain "e-mail plus" as a valid method for operators that collect personal information only for internal use, and add additional options to the list of methods available for operators to obtain verifiable parental consent, including electronic scans of signed parental consent forms, video-conferencing, use of government-issued identification (drivers' license numbers, portions of social security numbers) to verify parents' identities, and using alternative payment systems, such as debit cards and electronic payment systems that meet certain criteria). Operators participating in a self-regulatory safe-harbor program approved by the FTC may use any consent method approved by the program.
The amended final Rule requires operators to retain children's personal information for only as long as is reasonably necessary, and to protect against unauthorized access or use while the information is being disposed of. Operators must also take reasonable steps to make sure that children's personal information is released only to service providers and third parties that are capable of maintaining the confidentiality, security, and integrity of such information, and who assure that they will do so.
Under the amended final Rule, the Commission has enhanced oversight over approved self-regulatory safe-harbor programs, including requiring those programs to audit their members and report annually the results of those audits to the FTC.
