Off-Campus Study
Albion students may participate in a wide variety of off-campus study, study/internship, or study/research programs throughout the world and in the United States. These opportunities are designed to enhance a liberal arts education through developing interpersonal or cross-cultural skills, awareness of other cultures or an appreciation of the work environment.
Students in any major may choose to study off-campus. Some students study away for one semester; others select two different semester-long programs or spend an academic year abroad on one program. Finally, some students participate in summer programs. Please contact the Center for International Education (CIE), Vulgamore Hall, for more information.
Policies and Procedures
Eligibility Requirements
The requirements for study off-campus are as follows:
- Junior or senior standing. (Sophomores in the Modern Languages and Cultures for the Professions track are also eligible.)
- A cumulative grade point average of 2.7. Some programs require a level of preparation and a demonstrated proficiency well above a cumulative grade point average of 2.7. A student interested in a particular off-campus program should confirm that he or she has the necessary qualifications either with the program adviser or the director of the CIE.
- Demonstrated maturity commensurate with the demands of the off-campus program.
- Successful completion of the Writing Competence Examination before attending an off-campus program.
- Good social standing (as determined by the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs).
Meeting these minimum qualifications does not necessarily entitle a student to participate in the program. A complete list of policies and procedures is found in the Off-Campus Programs Handbook.
Transfer students must spend at least two semesters on the Albion campus and meet all other requirements before undertaking any off-campus study.
The Application Process
Application deadlines are in mid-September for spring semester and mid-February for fall, academic year, and summer programs. Long before the application deadline, students can obtain information and consultation about off-campus programs from the Center for International Education (CIE) and from the faculty advisers to the individual programs. Students need to consider carefully how an off-campus program fits into their studies at Albion. All prospective off-campus study students must meet with the director of CIE. After selecting the appropriate off-campus program, a student then begins the application process.
There are two applications, one for Albion College and one for the specific off-campus program. The Off-Campus Programs Advisory Committee, composed of administration and faculty representatives from each of the four divisions of the College, approves or denies permission for off-campus study. The CIE then forwards program applications to the appropriate programs. A program may accept or deny a student's application. However, in almost every case, a student who is approved by Albion will be accepted by the off-campus program.
Once a student is accepted for off-campus study, he or she needs to:
- Attend a mandatory general orientation meeting. Parents are also invited to this meeting.
- Pay a $250 deposit, due the day of the orientation meeting. This deposit is credited to the student's account.
- Attend a required international program orientation meeting (for students studying overseas). Parents are also invited to this orientation.
- Complete a post-program evaluation form.
Tuition for semester and year-long off-campus programs usually does not exceed what a student pays for regular tuition on campus. However, when costs exceed those of Albion College's regular fees, students will be required to pay the difference. Off-campus program room and/or board charges will be passed directly on to the student and assessed on his/her student account. (Note: Fees for most summer programs are higher than Albion's, and students will be charged the higher amount.) Students are billed through Albion College and must have paid the amount in full prior to beginning the off-campus program. Other important items to note about costs for off-campus study include:
- There is a one-time per program off-campus administrative fee that is added to the regular Albion fees. (Please go to the "Tuition and Fees" section for details.)
- Costs for transportation to and from an off-campus study program are the responsibility of the student.
- Financial aid applies to all semester and academic-year off-campus programs on the list of programs approved for Albion credit as if the student were on campus. This aid includes merit-based academic scholarships and need-based financial aid. (Note: Albion financial aid is not available for summer programs.)
- Check the Off-Campus Programs Web site for information about additional aid for off-campus study, i.e., Albion College off-campus program grants, federal grants, and links to a study abroad scholarship search engine.
- Deferred payment plans such as Academic Management Services are not available for off-campus programs.
Credit and Grades
- Academic and internship credit for Albion College-approved off-campus programs will transfer back to the campus as if the student were on campus. Usually, the equivalent of 4.0 units of credit per semester and 8.0 units of credit per academic year will apply. However, some programs may have more or less credit.
- Students may count up to two semesters and one summer session of off-campus study toward graduation. Off-campus units may not exceed 10.0 Albion units.
- Students attending an Albion-approved program or a program approved on a one-time-only basis must attend the program as an Albion student to receive credit.
- All off-campus courses will be taken for numerical grades, unless the student specifically requests, in writing, grades of credit/no credit.
- All internships are graded credit/no credit.
- Successful completion of an off-campus program abroad (or the Border Studies program) for at least one semester, along with submission of a journal, fulfills the global studies category requirement.
- Off-campus semesters are not considered when determining eligibility for the Dean's List and/or Albion Fellows recognition.
- Students may complete core requirements while attending an off-campus program only if they obtain written authorization in advance from the registrar.
- For category requirements, the chair of the appropriate category committee must approve an off-campus program's course for that category requirement. Students must petition the category committee for approval before attending the program.
- Courses taken for a major or for teacher certification must be taken for a numerical grade unless written permission for a credit/no credit grade is obtained in advance from the department chair.
- Participating in an off-campus program during the last semester of the senior year may delay graduation.
Students who fail to follow College procedures regarding off-campus study, or who withdraw or take a leave of absence from Albion and thus circumvent existing College regulations regarding off-campus study, will not receive credit for course work done off-campus.
There is a reentry orientation session for students returning to Albion from off-campus programs. The CIE and faculty work with returning students to help them integrate the knowledge and skills gained during their experience into their campus academic program.
Once the returning student has finished all the necessary course work on the off-campus program and completed the post-program evaluation/assessment forms, credit from the program is transferred to the student's Albion College record. With proper planning, a student should not lose any time toward graduation.
Language-Learning Housing
Albion College maintains language-learning housing, known as "International Space" or "I-Space," for students interested in foreign language study and international affairs. Modern Languages and Cultures majors and minors in French, German and Spanish are required to live in this housing for one semester. Therefore, residents are mostly language students who are planning to go off-campus or who are returning from language programs abroad. Students of Japanese also may live in the I-Space.
Center for International Education (CIE)
The mission of the Center for International Education is to promote intercultural communication and exchange, cross-cultural understanding, and transnational competence between the people of Albion College and the global community. The CIE coordinates more than 120 off-campus study, research and academic internship programs for Albion students. To see information about off-campus programs approved for Albion credit, please visit the Off-Campus Programs Web site.

Make a Difference. Be a Mentor.
Have you ever had troubles of your own and now want to help others so they do not make the same mistakes?
Are you a dedicated individual?
Are you ready for a life-changing experience?
Then this is the organization for you.
Tarleton Mentors is an organization that connects college students to the local foster home. For a minimum (more is preferred) of one hour once a week, you will be able to form a bond with a child and help them grow from their past. Just being a friend and being able to listen, allowing the child to vent, or to play basketball or football with the children is monumental for them.
You will work with children from all walks of life and hear some intense stories. Through this program, you will have the chance to be a steady and stable person in a child's life, something that may be rare and hard to find for them.
There are various aspects to mentor and work with such as:
- Agriculture
- Cooking
- Homework help
- Athletic/Sports
- Band
- And so much more!
Students are needed to make this happen, bringing any and all skills to enhance the program. If there is something you are really passionate about and strive to make a difference, let us know and we will try to incorporate it into the program.
The main thing that is stressed is dedication. At least one hour, once a week. More is desired, but the very bare minimum is one hour, once a week. Each student that is participating in the organization will be checked up on, to make sure that they are attending the minimum requirements.
Everyone understands a crazy, busy schedule and if by some chance you cannot make the one hour, once a week requirement, DO NOT just quit coming without warning. Do inform the house parent, club officers and especially the child you are working with.
Connect with us on Facebook! Join Tarleton Mentors to stay updated on current events concerning the organization.

PITTSBURGH, PA (August 18, 2009) – Pittsburgh area air travelers now have new options for nonstop flights to the West Coast, the Allegheny County Airport Authority announced. United Airlines launched nonstop daily flights to San Francisco and Los Angeles from Pittsburgh International Airport on Tuesday, August 18. Flights can be booked today at www.united.com.
"Flying nonstop to United's West Coast hubs of Los Angeles and San Francisco will give Pittsburgh air travelers more choices to reach important destinations for business and leisure. These new flights expand options for reaching the western U.S. and Canada, Hawaii, Asia and Australia with only one stop," said David Jehn, Managing Director of Network Planning, United Airlines.
"I wish to thank United for making this important commitment to the region. We formed the Regional Air Service Partnership to ensure that the region maintained nonstop flights to important business destinations. We earned this flight based on several factors, including the capabilities and capacity here at Pittsburgh International Airport, the due diligence and outreach of key staff members and the region's travel demands for trips to the West Coast," said Dan Onorato, Allegheny County Executive.
"These flights provide the business traveler with an ideal schedule for departures and arrivals. No red-eyes! With this latest offering, United now offers flights to its five hubs from Pittsburgh International Airport, including Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Washington D.C. That creates many opportunities for convenient domestic and global connections. It also means more dependable connections!" said Glenn R. Mahone, Chairman, Allegheny County Airport Authority.
"Keeping our businesses competitive requires quality air service to link the Pittsburgh regional economy with the rest of the country and the rest of the world. These West Coast flights are vital to advancing this initiative," said Dennis Yablonsky, CEO of the Allegheny Conference on Community Development.
The flights will be operated with an Airbus 319 aircraft on the following schedule:
Pittsburgh – Los Angeles on United
Pittsburgh – San Francisco on United
United has 17 flights a day between Pittsburgh and five cities, including Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Washington D.C. With service to these five cities, Pittsburgh customers have easy access to more than 200 other cities throughout the U.S. and to the Asia-Pacific region, Europe and Latin America.
Increasing quality air service to the top destinations like West Coast cities is a primary goal for the Airport Authority.

New York City Community Health Survey, 2010 (ICPSR 35013)
Principal Investigator(s): New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene
The Community Health Survey (CHS) has been conducted annually by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene since 2002. The CHS aims to collect data to form a better understanding of the health and risk behaviors of New Yorkers and to track key indicators over time. All data collected are self-reported. The CHS queried respondents on the following topics: general health status, mental health, health care access, body weight, cardiovascular health, diabetes, asthma, immunizations, nutrition, physical activity, alcohol consumption, soda consumption and cancer screening. The survey gathered information about sexual identity, sexual behavior, contraception usage, sexual history, HIV, smoking habits, smoking cessation, where cigarettes and cessation aids were purchased, and second hand smoke. Additional information was collected on whether respondents were taking any medication to control their medical and mental health issues. Demographic variables include gender, age, marital status, employment status, race, poverty level, income, and education level.

Geographic Coverage: New York (state), New York City, United States
Time Period:
- 2010
Date of Collection:
- 2010-03--2010-12
Unit of Observation: individual
Universe: Adults aged 18 years or older living in residential housing in New York City.
Data Types: survey data
Data Collection Notes:
Data for the NYC Community Heath Survey 2010 was collected by Abt-SRBI, a survey research company based in New York City.
For additional information on the survey, please visit the New York City Community Health Survey Website.
Sample: The 2010 CHS used an overlapping sample design. Most interviews were of New York City adults randomly selected from residential households contacted using a RDD list-assisted landline telephone sample. Additional interviews came from RDD cellular telephone sample. Adults living in residential facilities (e.g., group housing, college dorms) were not included.
Weight: The data contain a weight variable (WT11_DUAL) and a stratification variable (STRATA) that users may wish to use in analysis. The weight consists of an adjustment for the probability of selection (number of adults in each household / number of residential telephone lines), as well as a post-stratification weight. The post-stratification weights are created by weighting each record up to the population of the UHF neighborhood, while taking into account the respondent's age, gender and race. Starting in 2009, responses were also weighted to account for the distribution of the adult population comprising three telephone usage categories (landline only, landline and cell, cell only) using data from the 2008 New York City Housing and Vacancy Survey.
Mode of Data Collection: computer-assisted telephone interview (CATI)
Response Rates: 39.0 percent
Extent of Processing: ICPSR data undergo a confidentiality review and are altered when necessary to limit the risk of disclosure. ICPSR also routinely creates ready-to-go data files along with setups in the major statistical software formats as well as standard codebooks to accompany the data. In addition to these procedures, ICPSR performed the following processing steps for this data collection:
- Created variable labels and/or value labels.
- Created online analysis version with question text.
- Checked for undocumented or out-of-range codes.

The Phils have signed ex-Mets Brian Schneider to a two-year deal as Carlos Ruiz's back-up behind the plate.
Catcher Schneider signs with Phillies
New backstop to be introduced to media on Tuesday
By Todd Zolecki / MLB.com
PHILADELPHIA — Catcher Brian Schneider signed a two-year deal with the Phillies and will be introduced later Tuesday.
Schneider will make $1.25 million in 2010 and $1.5 million in '11, according to a source.
Schneider batted .218 last season in 59 games with the Mets, although he hit .382 (13-for-34) in his final 13 games. He missed 41 games earlier in the season with a strained back muscle.
"We feel Brian is ideal for our ballclub," said Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. "He has played in the [National League] East for this entire decade, so he knows the opposing hitters in this division well and he has also proven he can handle the bat. He's a guy that we would feel comfortable with playing for an extended period of time, if needed."
Schneider is a career .251 hitter in 10 seasons with the Expos, Nationals and Mets.
Schneider, who hits left-handed, hails from Allentown, Pa.
H/T: Phillies.com
Well, it looks like the Phils have signed someone who has a bat (somewhat) who can act as Ruiz's back-up. Hopefully Schneider will be able to fill the need there. Guess we won't know for sure until next year. Anyway, welcome to the team, Brian. Now, time to get the team a new third baseman and some bullpen help, Ruben.
2 Comments
I think Schneider should be a good fit, and he is from the area too. Coste just got signed by the Mets…now that will be weird!
So, I'd read, on both. Yes, it will be wierd watching him (Coste) play for the Mets next season . But no wierder than if the Phils are able to get John Smoltz for the pen. We'll see, of course.

The Philthies…I Miss Them
Phil Hughes and Phil Coke
Both of the Philthies were essential in the Yankees quest, and the completion of the quest, for #27. The righty and the lefty, both young, cute, dominant Yankee relievers who should be here a long time, are who I miss most today.
Phil Hughes was arguably the reason the Yankees made it to the postseason. He began the year as a starter, and his numbers were less than flattering. Into the bullpen he went, and he transformed into a different pitcher. Hughes became more confident on the mound, and trusted his stuff. He pounded the strike zone, throwing 96 mph fastballs right by the everyone. Hughes finished the season with a 3.03 ERA and 96 K's in 86 innings. He was a real beast.
Phil Coke was a huge reason why the Yankees even made it to the postseason. A huge responsibility was thrust upon him this year. Damaso Marte went down with an injury, an injury that was going to take the majority of the year to recover from. So little Phil Coke now had to be the only lefty of the bullpen. He had a huge job. He was the guy that came out of the pen to get out those big lefties, like steroid-monster Ortiz of the Red Sox. Cokey did his job well.
One thing I will never forget about Phil Hughes was that hair. Hughes began the year with a normal crew cut. But as the year went on, his hair grew. And he didn't do anything about it. It just kept getting longer, and poofier, and it stuck out of his hat in a funny way. It was kind of distracting, and he looked silly. But he was pitching well. So I was like, "Phil, your hair looks funny, but if you keep pitching this well, I'll grow to love it."
Phil Coke never did anything weird with his hair. But he does look like somebody…
Coke looks a little like….
…that wrestler! AJ Styles!
Haha. That made me feel a little better. This Yankee withdrawl is slowly killing me. Philthies: Huggies and Cokey, I miss you guys. Both of you were beasts out of the bullpen. I hope to see you as the bridge to Mo for a long time. Enjoy the offseason, and Happy Thanksgiving!
2 Comments
When I first saw the word "Philthies," I thought you were writing about the Phillies! LOL. I miss all the Yankees, the two Phils included. (I loved Hughes' long hair, btw.) I hope they all have great Thanksgivings with their families. You too, Virginia!
PhilSquared! Ahhh, these entries of yours always make me nostalgic, Virginia! I miss this team so much. College basketball is hardly an excellent substitute, though I love it a lot. I really, really, REALLY cannot wait until 2010, as much as I hate saying that for other reasons. *Sigh* Oh well. 'Tis the season to be jolly, right? Have a Happy Thanksgiving, Virginia! Love you!

My little girl started solids at 6 months and loves everything I feed her. she eats solids 3 times a day and nurses the rest of the day on demand. she is very constipated and every BM is a project. please help me out . What should I feed her to help her with constipation. I've tried prune/apple juice, pureed pears, apples and spinach as well as olive oil. she goes every 3 days or so. She loves her meal time with the family so I'm hoping to improve the situation without cutting out solids.
she eats 2 ounces of oatmeal or cereal for breakfast and dinner and a jar of veggies for lunch along with 2 teaspoons of yogurt with lunch and pureed fruits for dinner dessert. her growth is perfect.
thanks .

Starting Monday, the popular Freeway Service Patrol will be covering more of the H-1 Freeway.
Since 2009, the state Department of Transportation has had trucks standing by along the H-1 freeway to assist motorists who have breakdowns.
Yvette Coleman's vehicle recently stalled during rush hour at a dangerous location on the busy freeway. She said it was a terrifying experience, sitting alone, baking in the heat with cars streaking by her. Her tow service told her she might have to wait up to two hours to get assistance.
"So at the point where I was just about to cry, I looked in the rear view mirror and it was like 'Ahh!' This big blue and white truck right behind me. And it was very calming. He came to the window and asked if I needed help," Coleman said.
Transportation officials said FSP drivers have assisted over 20,000 motorists since the program began. The service has been available from Kunia to Kalihi. On Monday morning, the patrols will include the university area.
The new service trucks will have flashing light bars and arrow boards for safety, jacks, air compressors, jumper cables, gas and water.
"Every minute that is saved clearing a blockage is five minutes less time that the rest of us have to sit in traffic in the resulting traffic backup. So it really does pay off," said Abraham Wong, division administrator of the Federal Highway Administration.
"I call them my heroes, because they really are," Coleman said.
Motorists are asked to 841-HELP (841-4357) for assistance, Monday through Friday, except holidays.

My hair has gone through some changes this year. Good and bad. I started the year off with locs down my back, then I chopped 'em all. Then I got this cute and curly cut. My barber disappeared and so out of desperation, I went to another barber. He practically shaved me bald and now I think I'm going to grow my hair out and start my locs again. I adore super short hair and it was so easy to deal with when Elle was a newborn but I'm missin' styles.
And color.
This is a sponsored post through Glam Media and I got the opportunity to test Clairol Professional 'Classic Collection' hair dye. I haven't dyed my hair in almost a year which is sooooo unheard of for a hair dye addict like myself. I picked the shade Classic Moongold which is level 7 medium cool blonde. I picked this one because I knew it would lift my dark brown hair enough to show a difference. Dyeing dark brown hair without bleaching is challenging but I'd much rather do it WITHOUT bleach. I did an at-home bleach dye once, honey and it was a bad idea.
You know you dye your hair a lot when you already have the tools at home. I had gloves, a mixing bowl, brush and everything…
Dyeing short hair is a breeze compared to when I used to dye my locs. Loc'd hair had to be rinsed out several times to ensure that you got every bit of the dye out. But when you've got an inch of hair or less on your head, it just makes everything easier. Oh, and I did my brows too. Because I'm big on my brows and hair matching. If even a little. By the way, I didn't use the developer that was provided. I already owned Clairol's Developer in 30 and used that instead. I've dyed my hair enough to know the 30 is optimal for my natural hair color.
So I mixed and mixed…
And I applied.
It was beyond easy and even those who are weary of doing hair color at home will probably love how seamless this is. Wanna see the turn out? Stay tuned for next week's post!

Pair arrested in Rutland street disruptionBy Brent Curtis
STAFF WRITER | January 21,2013Two men were arrested Sunday night in Rutland after police from three agencies were called to disperse a crowd that gathered over a dispute on School Street.
More than 40 people were reportedly involved in a series of heated verbal and physical confrontations in the city's southwest neighborhood, Rutland Police Sgt. John Sly said.
"A lot of people came out to watch or get involved," Sly said.
In what he described as a "convoluted sequence of events" police were initially called to 36 Meadow Street at 4:23 p.m. for a reported fight.
At the scene, Sly said police found about 10 people arguing about the theft of a cell phone and a missing hat.
Sly said police left the scene believing that the parties would stay separated. But more than three hours later they were called back when some of the same people involved in the earlier dispute moved to 79 School St. where a crowd had
The size of the gathering was so great that city police called for backup from Vermont State Police and the Rutland County Sherriff's Department as well as another shift of officers coming on duty in the city.
Police also arrested two participants — 19-year-old Tiler Cormia and Nicholas Prior, 20, both of Rutland — on charges of disorderly conduct.

What is in this article?:
- Peanut growers told of legal implications of saving seed
- Contact the developer
• Varieties protected under the USDA-administrated PVPA may not be sold, marketed, offered for sale, delivered, consigned or exchanged without the explicit consent of the owner of the variety.
Peanut producers should be aware there are significant legal issues whenever it comes to saving seed, and a violation of laws and regulations could prove costly.
"All peanut varieties that are currently grown in Georgia are, to my knowledge, protected by either the Plant Variety Protection Act (PVPA) of 1994 or a plant patent," said Terry Hollifield of the Georgia Crop Improvement Association, speaking at the recent Georgia Peanut Farm Show in Albany.
There are several ways of going about getting a plant patent, he says. "The plant itself might be unique. In horticulture, that would include some of our turfgrass varieties. It can have a unique oil or mill chemistry. It can also have a unique gene, such as the Roundup Ready crops. Sometimes, you can have both a PVPA and a patent," says Hollifield.
So what exactly is protected? Hollifield says the intellectual property rights of the developer are protected, and the developer isn't necessarily the breeder.
"It can be the breeding institution such as the University of Georgia or the University of Florida, a private company, USDA. They own the intellectual property rights to that new invention. They have the ability to determine who can grow that seed and market it, and who has to pay a royalty for unique traits," he says.
Varieties protected under the USDA-administrated PVPA may not be sold, marketed, offered for sale, delivered, consigned or exchanged without the explicit consent of the owner of the variety. "It is illegal to condition or shell the variety for the purpose of propagation. However, a producer may save seed for the sole purpose of planting his holdings, he says.
But there currently is some discrepancy over the term, "planting his holdings," says Hollifield.
"What that meant to us in the past was that if you traditionally grew 100 acres of peanuts, and you purchased seed of a protected variety, and you wanted to save enough seed to re-plant that 100 acres, then you're welcome to do so.
"That was within the law. But there has been some discussion over the last six to seven months that that is not the intent of the law — that what it really means is if you purchased 10,000 pounds of Georgia-06 seed last year, then you can save 10,000 pounds of Georgia-06 seed to plant this coming spring."

I think that is so whack. To take someone's style and not even try to make it your own in anyway.
He obviously has skill, I liked his content, he seems like he's pretty damn good...so why not develop your own fucking style?
Maybe, I'm nuts or stupid...maybe he sounds nothing like Jay-Z and I was just out of it or somthing....but DAMN he sounds just like Jay-Z.
note, not to be called a biter. Bite like Tyson is a direct pull from a Cocoa B's line "I know you nice, but you ain't Mike Tyson/So, stop bitin'"....

The last security article I wrote generated a flood of email. Most messages said exactly the same thing: "How do I become a security professional?"
First of all, you probably don't want to become a security professional. Sure, it sounds glamorous: You strut in, violate a network a dozen different ways, and show that you know a lot about security. That really isn't a big deal; you can do the same sort of thing just by demonstrating that you're good in any field. All you have to add is the strut.
Most security professionals are contract consultants. They visit different companies and perform intrusion testing. That's where where they break into the network and demonstrate just how badly flawed the system security is. It's a pretty safe bet that you can go to any company in North America today and break in. I did this for a couple years as an independent contractor. I found that I hate to say "I told you so."
No, I take that back. I love to say "I told you so." But I get so very tired of it. Much as a front-line help desk person learns to despise callers for merely breathing, a security pro grows to despair clients of ever getting a clue. If I hear one more high-level manager say, "But we paid a $100,000 for this security system just last year," I'm going to slap them upside the head with a week-dead salmon.

Practical UNIX and Internet Security, 2nd Edition
If you're good, you can get a job at a company where security is paramount. Here in Detroit, several automotive firms and their suppliers demand absolute security. It's all schedules and permissions policies and making sure that someone doesn't install one of those free Unix variations without authorization. After all, users who can comfortably use desktop Unix are the most difficult to handle. They either have more of a clue about computing than the average user, or they're a menace to network safety -- possibly both. And they probably want SSh and CVS access to the Net instead of plain vanilla HTTP.
The 60-page security policy you dragged through five different committees and nine revisions says that they only get HTTP. And that same policy probably says that they only get the corporate-approved OS, even if the senior LAN troubleshooter might as well be hog-tied without his BSD laptop. You're no longer a geek. You're a paper-pusher, a "proxy Nazi," and a general pain. And every committee meeting has scraped a little bit of sunshine off your soul. You can't be a good guy even if you still want to be.
At the end, it doesn't matter. You can be as skilled as you want to be and someone, somewhere, can still kick your hiney. Arrogance isn't useful in the security business. Humility is. I'm no longer a security professional because I want to be arrogant on occasion.
What you can do quite effectively is bring a security awareness to your current job. If you're a programmer, network administrator, or even a help desk person, an understanding of the security implications of your work can do nothing but help your career.
There's two methods that have been used by professionals for hundreds of years. They apply just as well to computing professionals today.
You wouldn't see a long-term professional mover trying to shift a refrigerator without a back brace, or a doctor putting his ear to your chest without a stethoscope. Similarly, if you don't understand the ins and outs of your tools, they'll corrode and you'll slip a disk.
If you're a programmer, your tools are libraries, IDEs, languages, and so on. If you're a network administrator, your tools are physical devices, operating systems, and server software. Take a moment to think about what your tools are.
When a good auto mechanic is finished with his tools, he cleans them and puts them away. When was the last time you spent any time checking over your tools? What patches haven't you applied? Are you still sending mail with sloppy "CDONTS"? What about that default password on the Cisco? Or those unsanitized Perl regexes? Many people have things that they know they should have done, but haven't gotten around to yet. Might as well leave your wrenches out in the rain.
Also, you need to know what tools you have and what they do. I've seen a network administrator who was blissfully unaware that when he dialed into the Net to avoid a firewall, his laptop started broadcasting RIP and dragged the corporate network traffic out through his 56k dial-up. He was too busy with his unfettered Net access to answer user complaints. (I only noticed because CVS worked one hour a day, between 12:00 and 1:00.) I've seen a developer implement a private back-up scheme because he didn't know there was a file server for his use. Because this back-up scheme involved a CD burner and the trunk of his car in a Michigan summer, it was a security problem. Learn what you have. Use it. If it's insecure, don't do it.
If you're a programmer, examine the source code of your product for weaknesses. Check the source code of your programming libraries as well. Every language has its own weaknesses, from the classic C buffer overruns to Perl scripts that allow someone to slip
cat /etc/passwd into an exec file. Security folks gripe about Microsoft a lot, but it's just as possible to write insecure PHP or Perl as it is to write insecure ASP. PHP, ASP, Ada, Modula-3 -- they all have their share of weaknesses where data must be handled carefully. Coding practices that are perfectly safe in Java might create hideous gaping security holes in C++, even though the languages look similar.
If you're a network administrator, learn what's going on in your network. Odd behavior means that you don't understand something. If you don't understand what's happening in normal circumstances, how can you expect to understand what's happening when a script kiddie defaces your web site -- or worse, when a skilled attacker slips into your fileserver and the only symptom you have is one unexplained 3:00 a.m. reboot?
Network administrators in particular have to watch out for users. If you don't provide the resources the company staff needs, the employees of the company will find a way to get them. This frequently involves phone lines becoming modem lines or some clever boy tunneling SSh over port 80; in other words, security holes you know nothing about.
Secondly, let's consider you.
Computing changes constantly. So do law, medicine, social work, and dozens of other fields. If you don't keep up on changes in your field, you're creating security problems.
For a network administrator, this means BugTraq and vendor security bulletins. You need to know not only the security holes in what you have, you need to understand the security problems in what you might have. One day, some manager is going to come up to you and say, "I just saw a nice ad for the BooSoft MultiThwack. We could use it, please order one." You need to be able to respond with a calm and well-reasoned "The MultiThwack has some nice features, but it has a history of security problems. Would you like me to investigate some secure and reliable alternatives to provide that same functionality?"
As a programmer, you need to know what security holes are being discovered in your tools. Read a security mailing list for your language. If you look, you'll find one.
If a lawyer doesn't keep up on new legal precedents in his field, he's dead meat. So are you.
Get a couple of security books, and read them. I have three I'm going to recommend.
Practical Unix & Internet Security, by Simson Garfinkel and Gene Spafford is a good overview of how to secure a network.
Secrets & Lies by Bruce Schneier is a good overview of how real-world security works. It's readable by both technical and non-technical people alike.
Finally, Maximum Security by that best-selling author "Anonymous," is a good guide to breaking into your own network. There are others, such as Hacking Exposed, but Maximum Security is one of my favorites.
You cannot secure everything. If you're a network administrator, you can make sure that the firewall is tightly secured and that only certain types of traffic can pass in and out. You have to trust that your developers are writing their code without buffer overruns or passwords hard-coded in JavaScript. Similarly, if you're a developer, you need to make sure your code is tightly secured. If the network administrator is a doofus who leaves NFS shares open to the Net, you're doomed anyway.
The short answer is: communicate. And learn. Learn everything you can. A little bit of professional paranoia on your part can solve a lot of problems for a lot of people.
Let me be as blunt as possible:
Computing professionals who don't understand the security issues inherent in their chosen fields are creating security problems.
But hey, you don't have to listen to me. I can always make a good living saying "I told you so."

It was all Micah's fault. Micah is our oldest. To this day, you can put Micah into a room full of strangers, leave him alone with them for about 30 minutes, and when you come back, everyone in the room will actually believe that Micah has become their best friend. Micah has literally hundreds of people who claim him as their best friend. It's just a God-given gift. We first noticed it when he was just a baby. We would take him to the mall in his stroller and people would stop, and couldn't resist speaking to this smiling, blue-eyed, baby boy.
"He told me you would buy a ticket for me," the boy said pointing at Micah. "Oh he did, did he?" Looking at Micah's beaming face, I knew it had never even dawned on him that I wouldn't buy a ticket for his latest "best" friend. Then it hit me. This little boy had made a valid claim on my financial resources based solely on the word of my son. I bought the ticket.
Do you get it? This boy laid claim to the promises of my son. Wow! I was experiencing John 17:25 in living color. Jesus says in this verse that the world does not know His father but that He (Jesus) has introduced us (believers) to Him (God) so that we might know Him. In John 14:25, Jesus says that when we love Him that God will love us and make Himself known to us based on the fact that His son loves us.
It is Jesus who gives us His word, and His father honors Jesus' word just like I honored the promise my son made to that little boy at Busch Gardens. Jesus promises me a relationship with His father; God honors that promise. Jesus, promises me forgiveness; His father honors that promise. Jesus promises me eternal life; His father honors that promise.
I know a guy who knows God. One who speaks for Him. One who reveals Him. One who loves Him and me. He is Jesus.

I'd love some thoughts/stories from parents with experience:
My son was born six weeks premature, and he's been on EBM since birth. Growth has been astounding, so no issues with that. My doctor has advised me to EBF until DS' first birthday -- that is, no solids until he's a year old (doc said to use his date of release from the NICU as his birthdate for these things). He said that EBF will protect him immunologically in a way that will stop once I start introducing other forms of protein; this is especially important because we'll be traveling in India when he's about 8 months old (I do research there). He said this was especially important for Felix because he was premature.
Now, I asked my LC about this and she, much to my surprise, said definitively no. She said that precisely because DS was a preemie, it may lead to iron deficiency -- as iron stores build up in baby in the last few weeks of pregnancy, which we missed out on. She said we should BLS, but not wait until a year.
My understanding of BLS is that, often, babies don't really eat much for the first year anyway. But now my LC has me anxious about anemia. Have any of you dealt with any of these issues? I love my doctor for his support of EBF, but could he be taking it too far?
