Location: Ruminant Diseases and Immunology Research2012 Annual Report
1a. Objectives (from AD-416):
Objective 1: Determine the impact of variant and emerging viruses on the development and control of respiratory disease in ruminants. Develop means to detect and survey for variant viruses and develop models for evaluating infections with emerging variant viruses. Subobjectives: (1a) Determine impact of variant and emerging viruses; (1b) Improve current surveillance methods and diagnostic tools used to detect and control emerging viruses. Objective 2: Elucidate the host-pathogen interactions associated with the Bovine Respiratory Disease Complex (BRDC) by defining host pathways modulated as a result of viral infections and characterizing the role of stress and immunological related host effector molecules in BRDC. Subobjectives: (2a) Define interactions of viral pathogens that may contribute to the development of respiratory disease; (2b) Define modulation of host immune response to viral infection associated with stress caused by vitamin D insufficiency. Objective 3: Evaluate formulations and delivery systems for vaccination of neonates by identifying means to modulate stress and immunological factors associated with BRDC. Generate identification criteria and means to generate "vaccine ready" calves to develop intervention strategies for controlling viral respiratory infections of ruminants. Subobjectives: (3a) Identify factors, associated with common management practices, that modulate immune function in neonatal calves; (3b) Evaluate candidate vaccine for use in calves.
1b. Approach (from AD-416):
The goal of this project is to reduce the incidence and impact of viral infections in ruminants with particular emphasis on viral infections that contribute to respiratory disease in cattle. The project encompasses three distinct but interrelated research efforts. The first is to determine the incidence and impact of variant viruses, such as subgenotypes of bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV), and emerging viruses, such as HoBi-like viruses, to bovine respiratory disease. The purpose of this research is to determine if new antigens, representing variant and emerging viruses, need to be included in vaccines. The second is to examine the interaction of host and virus in respiratory disease. Included in this effort will be the study of host immune dysfunction, resulting from viral infection, nutrition, or stress. The purpose of this research is to define factors that contribute to respiratory disease in order to develop means of intervention that negate or ameliorate those factors. The third is to determine means by which host resistance to viral infection can be enhanced with emphasis on improving protective innate and acquired immune responses in calves. The information generated from these three research areas will be used in the development of intervention strategies to control and eliminate viral pathogens. Improved control of viral pathogens will benefit consumers by ensuring a healthful food supply, enhance animal health and well-being, and reduce production costs for farmers and ranchers.
3. Progress Report:
A study comparing antigenic characteristics of Bovine viral diarrhea virus 1 and 2 (BVDV-1, -2) strains and HoBi virus was completed and the manuscript accepted for publication. The comparison was based on detection of HoBi virus and antibodies against it by commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) and the level of cross-neutralizing antibodies present in sera from animals vaccinated with killed BVDV. The results of this study indicate that detection and control of HoBi virus infections in cattle requires the development of new diagnostic reagents and reformulation of current vaccines. A manuscript comparing BVDV and HoBi-like virus infection of calves has been accepted for publication. In vivo studies of the impact of HoBi like infections on the immune system, including the generation of immunotolerant persistently infected cattle, have been started. BVDV isolated from bison, mountain goat and big horn sheep have been acquired and preliminary sequencing has begun. Studies of single infection of cattle with BVDV and BRSV have been completed. The transcriptomes of circulating B, T and monocyte cells of cattle infected with either high or low virulence BVDV have been generated. Models to study in vitro dual infection of cells infected with both BVDV and BRSV are under development. Studies of BVDV infection in macrophages and BRSV infection in macrophages have been completed and a manuscript has been drafted. A new component of Objective 2 will be examining host genetic markers that are associated with increased susceptibility or resistance to BRDC. Research milestones specifically addressing these contributions will be written for FY13.
4. Accomplishments
1. Mechanism of Bovine Viral Diarrhea (BVDV) suppression of response to a secondary bacterial infection. The immune system consists of two branches, the innate immune system and the acquired immune system. The innate immune system is the first line of defense against infection. One of the side effects of infection with BVDV is suppression of the immune system and it is theorized that this suppression reduces the ability of cattle to fight off bacterial infections. ARS researchers at Ames, Iowa identified specific functions of the innate immune system that are affected by BVDV infection. Identification of these functions will contribute to development of means to block viral pathology.
2. Diagnostics to detect HoBi like viruses. A newly emerging type of virus, distantly related to BVDV, has been isolated from cattle in South America, Southeast Asia and Europe. The clinical presentation following infection with this type of virus, known as HoBi-like viruses, is very similar to that seen following infection with BVDV. Like BVDV, HoBi-like viruses cause immune suppression and can establish life long persistent infection in cattle. HoBi like viruses have not yet been detected in the U.S. ARS researchers at Ames, Iowa have developed tests to provide diagnosticians and regulatory agencies with tools to screen imported animals and animal products to prevent introduction of HoBi like viruses into the U.S. and means to detect and quickly control introduction if it does occur.

Al Bowlly
During the mid-'30s, such songs as "Blue Moon," "Easy to Love," "I've Got You Under My Skin," and "My Melancholy Baby" were sizable American successes -- so much so that Bowlly gained his own radio series on NBC and traveled to Hollywood to film The Big Broadcast of 1936, which also starred one of his biggest competitors, Bing Crosby. He was back in England that same year, appearing with his own band, the Radio City Rhythm Makers, as well as the orchestras of Sydney Lipton, Geraldo and Ken Johnson. Partnered with Jimmy Messini, Bowlly also branched out onto the London stage during the early '40s with an act called Radio Stars with Two Guitars. It was his last venture before his death in 1941, the victim of a German bomb exploded outside his apartment. Fifty years after his death, a British musical named Melancholy Baby toured the country with much success. ~ John Bush

The night after we passed we were absolutely wrecked. Not that our bodies couldn't handle the sort of intensive runabout they'd been put through, we'd all trained for it after all, just at some point you really just need to crash and sleep. There were only the four of us who'd come through this time and we all filed into the concrete box that was our barracks. Light of the setting sun crept through the square windows. The bare bulb gave off a gentle glow that was somehow homely despite the crude sets of metal beds set out along the room. There were six, so we had a bit of extra room thankfully. That also meant the communal showers wouldn't be so crowded even if only by a couple of bodies. The mood was easy and relaxed as I plonked myself down on my bed and shoved my boots off. All the belongings I'd brought with me were in a small holdall under the bed, combi-locked and inconspicuous. I reached into it and took out a rag and started scrubbing the mud and grime off the leather of my boots and made a vain attempt at shining them with some spit and grease.
"What in the world are you doing that for?" A boy with a mess of blond hair and a flushed, excitable face called out to me from the bed opposite. I think his name was Anfield.
"I'm cleaning my boots," stating the obvious was normally a good deflecting tactic. "We're gonna have to parade sooner or later and I'm not getting a bollocking for having mud on my boots."
"Oh... really?" His incredulous expression was slightly comical. I wasn't sure whether he was serious or just being a bit of a dickhead. "You really think we'll have to shine our boots up? But they're filthy!" His accent was starting to bug me a bit. He sounded very upper class country English.
"Mate, are you serious? We'll have to polish our boots because our NCO will give us hell if we don't. He'll do his best to give us hell anyway I'm sure."
"I didn't realise we'd need to do that sort of thing. Thanks for the heads up chap." He started to pull his own boot off then produced a handkerchief and started dabbing at the dirt gingerly. I almost pinched myself. Did this guy seriously run the same three day course I did and pass?
"Oh by the way chap I didn't catch your name..."
"Lewis. Foster Lewis. And you are?"
"Hector Liam Percival Anfield. My friends call me Merlin." Full name and everything. Thought he was gonna start whipping out the Lords, Sirs and Esquires on me.
"Why do they call you that?"
"Oh I'm not sure. Apparently it's something to do with how I get out of trouble as if by magic or something. I never really understood it."
I paused as I considered this. "That's a pretty crap way to get a nickname."
He laughed a little at that. "Well Foster Lewis I like your attitude. You're a good fellow really. I think we'll get along swimmingly."
He set about his business and I sighed exasperatedly. Seriously, this guy passed the proficiency course? He was a hell of a character that much was certain. Maybe his nickname did have some credible logic behind it. If he was anything like his outward appearance he'd have needed some magic to even get this far. I eyed up the other two. Might as well get to know my squad. I called out to the one in the corner. He was shorter than I was and a bit stocky. He wore glasses and mousey hair which curled over his ears.
"Hey, what's your name?"
"Martin. Martin O'Neill. Don't worry I heard you say yours to Anfield. Good to meet you Lewis. Heard you were fast on the assault course out there. I guess I'll have to look forward to training with you."
"Cheers mate, same goes for me." Well at least he seemed normal enough. I looked over to the last member of our squad on my left. He was black. He was lying on his back with both earphones of an ipod in, his eyes closed, nodding his head in time with his music. I could hear a rap beat coming from his earphones.
"Hey, mate, 'scuse me?"
He sat up and popped one earphone out and looked at me. He appeared a lot taller now he was sitting upright. His eyes were dark and threatening and his head was clean shaven.
"What's your name?"
"Malcolm Adams."
"Okay, well I'm Foster Lewis. Good to be working with you."
He nodded in assent and stuck his earphone back in and lay back down without another word. Great. Real sociable.
So we had Martin who was just about normal. Anfield the posh toph from the country or somewhere who had no idea what he was doing and Malcolm Adams the silent angry black dude. Okay no problems then. Hopefully this would put me in line for the first promotion then. I at least knew what the Marines training was about. I just hoped the others knew enough not to fuck up the next two hundred and twenty four days of my life.

|We do appreciate your help very much!
Could you just tell us how you were able to isolate it to the tub bearing and not to the break? Would it not make some noise if the bearing was bad?
You mention "inspect the bearing for rust"....?? Did we do it correctly?
Would it hurt to try to grease it? Is it even possible?
Thank you for your time!

|Re: [ALL] Distributing an ide version
|Thu, 04 Aug 2005 00:24:28 GMT
Doesn't the source zip required by an IDE usually need to be baed at the same level as a JAR? ie org/apache/commons/foo/Foo.java where in -src that is usually under src/... I'm not sure how that would site with an IDE though - perhaps include both those JARs in a single -dev zip. The approach we're taking with Maven is to publish a source JAR (and Javadoc JAR) that accompanies the binary JAR. - Brett Gary Gregory wrote: >+1. > >In my head I think of these pieces: > >commons-xxx-src.zip > All sources needed to produce other pieces. >commons-xxx-bin.zip > Runtime only, no source, no Javadoc, just the *runtime*. >commons-xxx-dev.zip (or ide) > What I need to use the component for my development (source zip >file and runtime). > >Which now that I've written it out matches what you've proposed I see >;-) > >Gary > > > >>-----Original Message----- >>From: Stephen Colebourne [mailto:email@example.com] >>Sent: Wednesday, August 03, 2005 4:46 PM >>To: Jakarta Commons Developers List >>Subject: [ALL] Distributing an ide version >> >>Currently we make available two versions, src and bin. >> >>The src contains all the source code and xdocs.

Shift: All in a Days Work
Humans... just idiots. I must of kept them busy for about 15 minutes before they finially realized bullets wont work on me. I had destryoed about the entire banks, except the vaults. Phase had almost shift the entire amount of money in the bank, considering time goes slower in the other dimension that he goes into. When he was finished, i could see him, regardless of him being in another dimension, he was telling me to get out of here, so i did.
We went back to our secret headquarters (Phase's appartment) it was full of money, we both smirked and laughed.
"First im getting my T.V liscence" said Phase
"Yeah you need one!" I exclaimed
We counted the money, the grand total came to atleast 15 million, it was easy since we went into Phase's dimension in order to save time, the robbery was all over the news. I killed a few guards, and injured alot of civilians, but who cares? im rich now.
Considering only me and Phase did it, i got half, regardless of being theives, we know how to get our fair share. thats 7.5 million, wonder what i could get with such a sum.
Firstly im buying a mansion, then we will move our headquarters to there, who knows, maybe make a few secret labs here, a couple of... you get the point... im rich.
I went to the real estate, and bought the mansion. I didnt take all the money, otherwise it would make the bank robbery easily seem like us. After i did, i hired workers, buters... everything! Now this is how you live a life...

I call the following function once at the start of my game:
My music file is in
format. The game starts normally, and the music plays without problem. But the moment the track completes playing, cocos2d-x crashes.
The crash points to the following assembly line of code on Thread 26:
-> 0x4650909 <+0>: pushl %ebp
I don't know how to debug this, because I can't step through the code (since the crash happens when the track finishes playing). It seems like some kind of bug. Any ideas how to solve this ?
EDIT: If I don't play any music, my game never crashes. The only line of code that is ever called (for music), is the above, and it is called only once.
EDIT: The caf file was created using the following command:
afconvert -f caff -d LEI16@22050 yourInput.mp3 yourOutput.caf

I was thrilled with the ring i received today. It is exactly how overstock.com portrays it in their online catalog. My future fiance is going to be the true judge but I know she will be completely breath taken by the beauty and sparkles this ring has.
- How did the image on site compare with the actual product? The image online was very similar in comparison to the ring i recieved.
- How accurate was the sizing? sizing is spot on
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. This ring is amazing in clarity and color for the money i paid. excelent value

Questions raised over building inspection process
Broadcast: 01/08/2003
Reporter: Jonathan Beal
TOM BADDELEY: For most of us, buying a home is the biggest financial investment we'll ever make. And it's little wonder that home buyers order building inspections before signing on the dotted line. But just how reliable is that inspection process? Tonight we bring you the story of a Bunbury man whose experience of buying a new home serves as a warning to us all. Jonathan Beal reports.
JONATHAN BEAL: Peter Ferguson believes he's living proof that the goal of owning your own home can turn sour. Since he and his family bought a place in Bunbury last October, he's documented the demise of a dream.
PETER FERGUSON, HOME OWNER: You've gotta be more or less a lawyer to start with before you can even lodge a complaint because unless you've got your facts and it's worded correctly or whatever else, it seems to have been just ignored.
JONATHAN BEAL: When Peter Ferguson and his family were looking for a new home they came across this property near Bunbury's city centre.
PETER FERGUSON: We were appealed by the advertising of it. The outside appearance certainly looked like it had been restored and renovated. And the street, the street environment, if you walk down this particular street, you can see it's kept in a reasonable condition. It's a proud type street.
JONATHAN BEAL: Having been burned before by real-estate transactions, Mr Ferguson was determined to play it safe this time around. He ordered building, electricity and plumbing inspections, before agreeing to purchase the property.
PETER FERGUSON: The plumbing report, it told us that all the plumbing was in accordance with plumbing by-laws.
JONATHAN BEAL: But Mr Ferguson says the initial inspections failed to identify major problems.
PETER FERGUSON: Since we've...we've moved into the house, we've found that the house has been...had illegal wiring and left us in an electrocution hazard.
JONATHAN BEAL: In light of Mr Ferguson's concerns, the Department of Consumer Protection commissioned a number of inspections of its own, including one by the Water Corporation. The initial plumbing report found all visible plumbing work was in accordance with the relevant by-laws.
PETER FERGUSON: And I just about fell over backwards when the Water Authority turned up and they parked out in the street and no sooner crossed the footpath, and was taking photographs of this illegal plumbing.
JONATHAN BEAL: Mr Ferguson says most of the plumbing in the house is made of old Telstra telecommunications pipes. Both the electrical and plumbing inspections were carried out by businesses contracted by the building inspection company. According to Mr Ferguson, there are also problems with the stumps underneath the house. A subsequent inspection by the Builders' Registration Board also raises concerns about the stumps. The original building report states the company can only provide an exterior inspection of the structural condition of the home and not a full maintenance report. The company says it could not remove panels on the house to inspect concealed areas, like those where the stumps were located. Likewise, much of the plumbing is hidden under concrete and therefore inaccessible. The company has been providing building inspections for seven years and says Mr Ferguson's is the first complaint it's received. While the company is standing by its building report, the Department of Consumer Protection agrees Mr Ferguson does have some legitimate concerns.
PATRICK WALKER, CONSUMER PROTECTION COMMISSIONER: We think that there were clear deficiencies in terms of those reports, that's the reason we engaged experts from the Water Corporation, the Builders' Registration Board, and also the Office of Energy, to compile those reports. And we'll certainly be acting on those in terms of getting a fair settlement for Mr and Mrs Ferguson.
JONATHAN BEAL: But debating the issues and getting a fair settlement is proving a lengthy, complex and costly process for both parties. The member for Bunbury, Tony Dean, has taken up his constituent's cause, saying Mr Ferguson's is not an isolated case. Mr Dean says Mr Ferguson is the victim of a system of building inspections which is a century out of date.
TONY DEAN, LABOR MEMBER FOR BUNBURY: There are probably hundreds, if not thousands, of people out there who have been provided with deficient building inspections, and they're probably aware of it and are just not taking it anywhere. I think there's probably a lot who are not aware of it.
JONATHAN BEAL: Tony Dean is lobbying for legislative change to close the loophole in the law that allows building inspectors to operate without regulation.
TONY DEAN: There is no registration of building inspectors. And because there's no registration, anyone can be a building inspector, put up their shingle and become a building inspector. No registration, and therefore no accountability, and that worries me.
JONATHAN BEAL: The Consumer Protection Commissioner rejects Tony Dean's claim that Mr Ferguson's case is the tip of the iceberg.
PATRICK WALKER: No, I think that'd be going a bit far - tip of the iceberg - we haven't seen too many complaints and I think we would have.
JONATHAN BEAL: But Patrick Walker agrees there are problems with the system that need to be addressed.
PATRICK WALKER: Clearly the concern here is that someone's actually gone and done the right thing, and in this case, there's been some issues with that. He does have a right of redress in a number of areas, but we think also that there can be advantages in strengthening that system.
JONATHAN BEAL: The Department of Consumer and Employment Protection is now reviewing the legislation which governs building inspections.
PATRICK WALKER: I think in this contemporary age what we're now saying to people is: "Look, get a little smarter. Don't take it on face value or perhaps accept peoples' word - get these inspection reports." And I think that clearly there's some benefit from the consumer protection point of view that there is a definite, clear right of redress where someone's gone to that extent. And I think that that's an issue which will be looked at by all of the relevant boards that administer the particular occupational licensing groups.
TONY DEAN: I think there may be thousands of other people out there who don't have an outcome and their only redress is through the Small Claims Tribunal and I think that we need to change the laws so they don't have to go through that.
JONATHAN BEAL: In the meantime, however, Peter Ferguson's campaign for redress continues. And he's still wondering how he's going to pay for the repairs which, according to his calculations, have blown out from a few thousand dollars to more than $20,000.
PETER FERGUSON: My biggest mistake, I suppose, was I should have bought a mars bar. If I had a mars bar, it could have been full of weevils it could have been half-malted, trodden on, it would have been sorted. But because I'm in an industry which is a grey industry of consumer protection, we have no protection.

Never Forgotten: Judy Shepard travels throughout the world so that other mothers don't have to encounter the sorrow of having a son brutally murdered for being gay.
Anti-hate crimes activist Judy Shepard, whose son was brutally murdered for being gay, is bringing her messages of compassion, acceptance and inclusivity to Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology on Monday, Dec. 5, as part of the institute's Diversity Speakers Series.
"The Legacy of Matthew Shepard" program will be presented from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the Kahn Rooms of the Hulman Memorial Student Union on campus. The program is free and open to the public, but seating is limited to 250 people. Advance reservations are necessary through http://rosestem.rose-hulman.edu/JudyShepardLecture.
Matthew Shepard, the youngest son of Judy and Dennis Shepard, died in the fall of 1998 from injuries after being brutally attacked in Laramie, Wyo. because he was gay. In the aftermath of their son's death, the Shepards started the Matthew Shepard Foundation to replace hate with understanding, compassion and acceptance. The Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act was signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2009.
Meanwhile, Judy Shepard has become one of America's leading LGBTQ activists, sharing her son's story to encourage others to accept and love one another for who they are. Her book, "The Meaning of Matthew: My Son's Murder in Laramie and a World Transformed," an award-winning documentary, and speeches have educated others about LGBTQ issues across the world.
"Judy Shepard urges others to find their voice to create change and challenge communities to identify and address hate that lives within their schools, neighborhoods and homes. These are important messages that Judy will be bringing to our campus," says Janice Fenn, director of Rose-Hulman's Center for Diversity, which organizes the Diversity Speaker Series.

LOUISVILLE (AP) The former owners of Kentucky Speedway have dropped their antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR.
Attorneys for the former ownership group decided not to appeal their case to the U.S. Supreme Court. Wednesday was the deadline to mail an appeal request to the court.
Both the U.S. District Court and the U.S. Court of Appeals rejected claims by the former owners that NASCAR and International Speedway Corporation violated federal antitrust laws by working with other tracks to keep the 1.5-mile tri-oval in northern Kentucky from getting a coveted Sprint Cup race.
Former majority owner Jerry Carroll said Friday the matter was closed and he was optimistic that it opens the door for new owners Speedway Motorsports Inc. to finally bring a Cup race to the track.
"If it means the end of that lawsuit, that's great," said Eddie Gossage, president of SMI-owned Texas Motor Speedway. "I don't know what that means for Kentucky, but I sure know that's a great place where NASCAR should be racing."
SMI chairman Bruton Smith said last year he was prepared to move a race from one of his other facilities to Kentucky should the lawsuit be resolved. Now that he can move forward and petition NASCAR for a date at Kentucky, Gossage said his boss has not discussed his plans.
"Where is that race going to come from? That's not something Bruton has shared," Gossage said.

Research centre to boost global food efforts
A new agricultural research facility at Adelaide's Waite campus is expected to produce discoveries which will help secure global food needs.
The $30 million Plant Accelerator at Urrbrae has 50 high-technology super-greenhouses and laboratories which will allow continual measurement of the attributes of up to 160,000 plants per year.
Scientists say it will allow more rapid identification of plant and crop varieties destined for success, reducing the time between the breeding of new varieties and their use in agriculture.
Director of the facility, Professor Mark Tester, says it will be ground-breaking.
"Ultimately this facility will enable researchers to respond faster to market needs," he said.
'We are confident that research conducted using this facility will lead to major discoveries that hold the key to solving some of the world's greatest problems in food production and hence food security in the face of climate change."

Adults and MySpace
As one person writes to me from Montana, for example, "they are the online equivalent of kids attending a cocktail party and mixing with adult strangers of every shape and motivation."
I appreciate and share this concern for the safety of children. But my reaction is tempered by what I would consider to be a sense of proportion. Specifically, when presented with something like MySpace, I ask, first, how dangerous it is, and second, whether the proposed measure makes sense given the level of danger.
The concern here, I think, isn't that some stranger will use a MySpace account to hunt down a child. There's no evidence that I have seen showing that a child is in more danger online than, say, in the home. Parents and friends continue to be the major abusers of children. MySpace hasn't changed that.
The concern is that unfettered and unrestrained access to the adult world exposes children to ideas and behaviours that are disturbing, ideas and behaviours that children are not yet ready to comprehend, much less emulate as children do. And the concern is that parents and teachers do not know enough about the internet to understand the impact of prolonged exposure to the adult world online.
Fair enough. I think this is a good point. We know that media has an impact on children. That's why advertisers advertise; they would not spend the hundreds of millions of dollars if such advertisements did not change attitudes and (hence) increase sales. And we know, therefore, that what children see on the internet will change their attitudes.
Some of this impact has been documented already through the work of people like Marc Prensky and others studying the 'digital generation'. It is probably too early to draw a causal connection between new media and the attitudes of today's young, since so many other influences (such as old media) are still at play. Nonetheless, when we see that children seem to be constantly online and connected to their friends, that they explore and take chances on their own, and that they expect the answers to always be in Google, we can point to the internet and say it is certainly having some effect.
But is it a negative effect? The writer from Montana points out, "I fear that we are raising a generation that will be unable to manually sift through text to determine arguments, core points or concepts."
I fear this too, perhaps more acutely, for as an expert in logic I am constantly concerned about the basic errors in reasoning and criticism I see every day around me. My own observation, though, is that people who spend more time online are more able to deal with these issues, that the people who accept things uncritically - especially when presented from an authoritative source - are those who are uneducated and those who are mostly offline.
In other words, what I am saying is that my own observation suggests that prolonged exposure to the internet makes someone more able to reason critically, not less. And in my more cynical days I suggest that it is this increased capacity to reason that is sparking concern among some adults.
Because, frankly, it seems to me that a lot of the things kids (and adults!) are told are dangerous simply aren't so, and are reflective more of a prevailing morality than of a concern for the well being of a child. I do not see, for example, how the mere presentation of naked humans is dangerous to a child, and I am indeed much more concerned about the images of abuse and violence broadcast on television in the news and in shows like C.S.I.
Nor am I concerned about things like discussions of drugs and politics and religion - it seems to me healthy for children to be exposed to the multiple views (and the more than occasional hypocrisy) that surround such issues. Being presented a wide spectrum of opinion, rather than a single point of view, teaches someone very quickly to draw their own conclusion, and to not depend on someone else (no, not even parent or teacher) for the right answer.
This is all reasonable, but I think the point of the 'cocktail party' example is that children online are presented not merely with adult behaviour, but with adults behaving badly.
"Look at who is modeling online behavior in myspace - it is largely adults who post provocative photos and language. Kids see this, take it as acceptable and cool, and do it themselves. Again, typical behavior for teens. Add a lack of modeling of positive or acceptable behavior in this venue by teachers and parents, and voila - negative models yield negative results. How much time do you spend posting things on myspace? I don't. Who does? - people with an axe to grind, show offs, exhibitionists, etc."
I think there is no question that there is a lot of bad behaviour on the internet, and even the briefest observation shows that it is the adults, and not the kids, who are behaving badly. And in spaces such as MySpace, it does seem that the only adult presence is a negative one.
Is our best response, though, to kick the kids off MySpace? My first reaction seems to be that we are punishing the kids for the actions of the badly behaved adults.
After all, if a grown man came to a school playground and started swearing and drinking and making lewd remarks, we would react by removing the adult, not by preventing children from accessing the park.
The point is, it is up to adults to moderate the behaviour of adults. And if children are not being presented proper role models, then it is up to adults to ensure that such models are available to them. And the way to do that is not to shield them from all possible role models, because that negates the benefit of the internet. The way to do it is to be present in this space, to moderate the adults who are behaving badly, and to ourselves act as reasonable role models.
I wrote the other day, of the bullying and the cheating and the other bad behaviours that kids engage in online, "it seems to me that the problem isn't MySpace - the problem is the school. I mean, why not look at these behavours - now that they are public - and ask why students engage in them. Instead of trying to hide everything again by blocking MySpace, or to punish people after the fact, why not ask, 'what would lead a student to think that this is appropriate?'"
And while I didn't answer that question, to me the answer is pretty evident: they think such behaviours are appropriate because they see instances of such behaviours all around them, and not the least by the authority figures governing their lives, by their teachers, their parents and their elected officials.
The children act badly, not because they are exposed to MySpace, but because, in all aspects of life, we show them with our own actions that such behaviour is acceptable.
And - most importantly for me - when we do things like ban them from sites like MySpace, we are continuing to show them that such behaviour is acceptable. Because we conjure up dangers that simply aren't there, because we act arbitrarily and with threat of force rather than with reason, and because we then hypocritically engage in exactly the behaviours we are trying to teach children not to emulate.
Children, if they understand anything, understand justice, which is why it is essential to employ precision calipers when dividing the chocolate cake among them. They know that punishing an entire age group for the actions of a few is unfair. They know that prohibiting an action, or a web site, just in case they act badly some time in the future, is unfair.
Finally, children have a sense of proportion. They know that being on MySpace is importantly not like being at a cocktail party because they can hit 'disconnect' at any time. When in the actual presence of adults, kids are powerless - they cannot escape and they cannot fight back. And sometimes those adults they must trust the most turn on them.
Unless we lock kids in their rooms all day, kids will interact with adults. Far better that they interact with them, and learn of the dangers, online rather than in person. Far better that their first ancounter with a child molester is in a chat room rather than a city park or a movie theatre. Far better they interact in an enviroment that can be monitored and watched very easily by parents and police.
When we think of it - and we should - the rise of sites like MySpace is a boon to parents and teachers. After all, so far as I can judge, kids have always pushed the limits of authority (I know I certainly did). But now they are doing it in a public space, where we can see what they are doing, and if we can restrain ourselves a bit, and give the kids some room to grow, we can watch out for the really dangerous things, and act before anything really bad happens.
Things like bullying, for example, become much more evident. A child being abused may be able to express this in various ways online. Suicidal trends may appear on a website far sooner than in the home or classroom. Excessive use of drugs or alcohol will be reflected online and hidden in the home. And so much more! Why would we block this, the child's best hope of letting us know that something is wrong?
It is, as I said, about the level of danger, and about the proportionality of the response. And it seems to me that spaces such as MySpace are less dangerous to kids than the family television or the neighborhood park, and it seems to me that banning kids from MySpace altogether is, in that light, an excessive response.
And, indeed, is there is any action I would recommend that we as adults take, it would be to behave as adults. That, more than any other action we take, will have the most profound impact on our children. Though, I admit, asking adults to act like adults may be more idealistic than practical.

Kids and adults are not doing anything different than they have done forever. However, now, instead of telling their circle of friends, they are telling the entire world.ReplyDelete
Kids probably need to be taught a little self-restraint and adults need to be taught that times have changed and a transparent, tell-all world exists on social networking sites.
On these sites, secrets and privacy are a thing of the past.
Yes Bob, Times they are a-changin.
Stephen, thank you for a well thought out rumination about kids and cyberspace. While I agree philosophically with most that you say, I have something to add.ReplyDelete
A comely child, on my street, probably would never encounter a true child predator.
That same child, in my neighborhood, may stand a very small percentage of chance of encountering such a predator.
That child, in my town, has a slightly increased chance of encountering such a person.
Perhaps as the venue grows, so does the possibilty of such an encounter?
While I don't know the number of such predators related to the general population, I wonder if the percentage of EXPOSURE to such people is greater in MySpace? My suspicion is that it could be.
Is the environment inherently more dangerous than the street/town/city?
When we consider the "flat" world and the ease of travel and contact in the whole world today, are children in a different situation regarding exposure to evil people (adults mostly, but children (bullies) too)?
We often find schools willing to publish children's pictures and names in local news media, but never online, by explicit policy. Isn't there something to that idea, the idea that the exposure is different and we need to provide protections for as long as possible?
Is there a process where we let up, a system where we gradually give children the knowledge to handle such environments? Is this consciously done before they experience MySpace or other such virtual places? Is it the job of parents? schools? both? Or is it simply not addressed because many teachers and schools - and parents - simply don't go there?
Thanks again for your thought provoking ideas!
This is a very thought provoking article. Thank you for making us think. These are big issues for those of us who have to manage access to the Internet in schools. The tendancy is always to protect ourslves. The challenge is to think far more deeply about the real learning issues and the messages we give by our strategic decisions.ReplyDelete
I think that kicking kids off of MySpace and other Internet communication systems is actually a much greater problem than hypothetically asking them to leave the playground because of an inappropriate adult presence. Internet communication systems are the way of the present and the future, not just for play but for business, social and civic lifes. Kicking a child off a MySpace because of something he/she is not responsible for might be compared to prohibiting them from using pens because of the way in which some people have used pens inappropriately.ReplyDelete
Andrew Pass
I think Dan summarized some of the core issues well.ReplyDelete
While I agree that internet communications are the way of the present and the future, I do not equate that with a no-holds-barred approach to providing access to our kids.
The analogy to inappropriate use of a pen is far too simplistic and simply doesn't hold up. The pen has only been replaced by the keyboard, and doesn't represent the complexities of a computer hooked up to a global network.
Social web sites are two-way communication and interaction channels, and as such allow the user to evoke a relatively immediate response - a fairly strong feedback loop where passive behavior is ignored and outlandish behavior is rewarded for better or worse. Sounds to me more like a classroom than a writing instrument.
I'm the reader from Montana that Stephen referred to. I have posted the full text of my comments on my blog: http://digitallatchkey.blogspot.com.
I welcome your comments here or there.
"I do not see, for example, how the mere presentation of naked humans is dangerous to a child...".ReplyDelete
The students in my digital photography class had their own accounts at Flickr.com and were given the task to match their interests, and possibly the things they would take images of with others on Flickr.
My students are teenagers in high school and some went right to photos of tattoos. Naturally they came across some nudes and surprisingly called me over. Mind you I teach in mid-town Manhattan so were not talking about goodie-two-shoe type kids. The images created a discussion about the difference between what is "nude" and what is "naked" and the importance of light and shadows in photography.
The point is that many students know how to self-censor themselves when given the chance to.
I'm in agreement with Dan. Kids have a remarkable creativity, ability and enthusiam for getting themselves into trouble. The net, and myspace, have given them many more opportunities to do this.ReplyDelete
As usual, parents bear the prime responsibility for giving them the skills for recognising and avoiding (or quickly extricating themselves from) situations which are likely to cause long-term damage.
How many of us have the will, the skills and the persistence to build these competencies in our children, day after day, through careful thought and close engagement, without turning them off us?
err... even if it includes writing stories for their fake news websites and reading what your sons think about myspace .... on the net!
It isn't the "mere presentation of a nake body" it is the WAY in which it is presented. Adults oliciting sexual thoughts behaviors from children is a problem in any environment...why provide one more?ReplyDelete
Not to mention the damage it does with tempting adults to degenerate themselves. I don't think that allowing kids to see this material helps...kids grow up too fast as it is. Why continue to offer it as acceptable?
Why would we think it is okay to show kids that adults behave provocatively with strangers?
My space in and of itself isn't necessarily the problem, apathy is.

You head to Facebook. Pretty much a dead end!
You quickly enter "facebook.com" in your address bar and hit enter. The server appears to be slower than usual so you drum on your desk as you wait for the site to load.
Finally the site is fully loaded and you enter your login information. You ponder telling the site to keep you logged in.
"No, that would be bad." You think. "What if Simon from accounting would come by to use your computer, like he often does when his Windows Vista is bugging him, and he goes to facebook and sees all the messages that have been circulating about him?"
Your home page notifies you that you have a new friend request from a girl named Ashley. You sit there for a minute and wonder if you actually know her. She doesn't look familiar, but you often drink a bit too much on Friday nights and forget a lot of people and places. Then you notice she sent you a message too. You go ahead and read it.
"Hey, I wasn't sure if you're the guy I remember from last week. I think you were the guy who tried driving me home from some club downtown. If you are, I may have left a lipstick and mascara on your back seat. Let me know if you have them and I'll come pick them up from you."
You think back to last Friday night and wonder if that could have possibly been you. You did go drinking downtown, but would you have tried to drive someone else home while intoxicated? It seems pretty unlikely, but you judgement does become impared when you drink.
Curious, you decide to take a break and go check the back seat of your car. Sure enough, wedged between the middle and passenger-side seats are presumably her cosmetics. The lipstick is a cherry-red (not your usual type) and barely used. The mascara is waterproof and onyx black. You put them in your pocket and return to your desk, unsure of what to do.
You decide to check her profile and see what she's like without your beer goggles on. Maybe she's worth pursuing? You go to her page and see that she's a lawyer from across town. She's a few years younger than you and attractive in a wholesome way.

This company did not care about their managers
Level of Autonomy
No it was not! You only had a limited budget so you never had enough people.
You could talk till your blue in the face ...they just didn't listen to your concerns
Overall Compensation for your work
None what so ever
Office/Work Environment
Very poor
Job security
When you work for that company for 6 years then they get 1 complaint on you (which was all lies) and you get fired no written or verbal warning. It was not right .after all the hard work you do for 6 yes. Then all at once wamp your out! Just because some people didn't like you and didn't want you there. So let's report a bunch of lies and rid of her! I loved that job it was my life .

ATLANTA -- Carolina linebacker Na'il Diggs has left the game with a rib injury. The team is saying his return is questionable.
This could be interesting. Landon Johnson is listed as the backup on the strong side. But Dan Connor, whose primary position is middle linebacker, is Carolina's best reserve linebacker and some people in the organization think his future could be on the outside.
The door for that might have just opened.

[caption id="attachment_39808" align="alignnone" width="640" caption="Photo courtesy of Afghan Whigs Facebook"][/caption]
Though Greg Dulli promised us the Afghan Whigs ship had set sail, 2012 has the beloved alt-rock group returning to port. Today they released "See and Don't See," their first new song in five years (the last new tracks were just pit-stops, as they recorded "I'm a Soldier" and "Magazine" for the 2007 compilation, Unbreakable). The song is a cover of Marie "Queenie" Lyons' 1970 tune, with Dulli passionately singing about our sense of sight and hearing over a lush acoustic arrangement. Dulli's often branded a Bukowski-ish lech, but here we find our hero sounding battered and worn, in a tender way.
The Afghan Whigs will perform "See and Don't See" on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday, May 22 and they return to the stage at New York's Bowery Ballroom that evening. They'll also play a bunch of major festivals over the summer, including Lollapalooza and All Tomorrow's Parties.

If you're traveling in civilization, you can get by with a base pack weight of 0 grams (0.000 lbs). This guy is going around the world with no luggage at all:
@efredricksenLocale: Silicon Valley
Having watched some of his videos now, I can immediately see some improvements I think he could make:
– Microweight wool T-shirts rather than (his sponsors') synthetic to better deal with odor. Probably rather than 2 extras, he needs 0 extras.
– Perhaps 1 extra pair of underwear, or no extras (wash each night), rather than 2.
– I'm not a speedo guy, but I'd probably make an exception rather than go with no swimsuit. (Maybe declare this underwear too.)
– Again, he's sponsored, but a tiny musette bag (man-purse) or bum bag or something seems like it'd be much nicer than the bulked-out luggage vest.

text: Hugh Ross, President of Reasons to Believe Ministry "I kind of read through the text and it seemed obvious to me that it had to be a local flood, not a global flood, and I was shocked to discover that there are all these Christians, and even Christian scholars that held to a global flood. And I wanted to figure out, you know, how did this happen? You know, how did people get off track like this? And maybe I'm speaking a little bit pridefully here, but you know, that's how I was operating in my youth, you know. Where did they get off on this?" Hugh Ross, The Flood, Part II, Audio Tape, 1990 Hugh Ross, President of Reasons to Believe Ministry "If you want to get at the scientific details, you must read it in the Hebrew. Let's do that. As you go through the Hebrew, 'the waters rose greatly on the earth, and all the high mountains'- the word 'high' is not in the original. It's not there. Now, it comes up in almost every English translation. But in translations into other languages,.. Hugh Ross, President of Reasons to Believe Ministry …it's not always there, and it's not in the Hebrew. So you can take your Bible and cross out the word 'high.' It's not there. I don't recommend you do that all the time as you go through your Bible, but in this case there is a good basis for it: it's simply not there in the original Hebrew." From an audiotape by Dr. Hugh Ross giving commentary on Gen. 7 by Ross' RTB ministry And the waters prevailed exceedingly on the earth, and all the high mountains under the whole heaven were covered. Genesis 7:19 The–following are from2002 a free Bible Sea 2slides – June online presentation at www.nwcreation.net/presentations/ An Approach Based on Logic and Evidence Mike Riddle Answers in Genesis Local Versus Global Flood Hugh Ross, Ph.D. Astronomy http://www.reasons.org (Popular progressive creationist) "Genesis 8 gives us the most significant evidence for a universal (with respect to man and his animals and lands), but not global, flood… continued What does the geological data tell us about massive floods in the earth's history? The evidence shows that the only place in the world where massive flooding has occurred since the advent of modern man is the region of Mesopotamia…. We are not saddled with a contradiction between the established facts of science and the words of the Bible" Local Flood Region Question If God wanted to teach a global flood, how could He have said it more clearly? Word Usage There are over 10 words in the Bible used to designate a flood Mabbuwl (Hebrew) ……… a deluge Kataklusmos (Greek) …… an inundation Critical Thinking Question Could a local/regional flood [in Mesopotamia area only] destroy all people, beast and birds on the earth? Critical Thinking Noah had over 100 years to build the Ark God brought animals and birds to the Ark Water and gravity The Local Flood New Testament Matthew 24:36-39, Luke 17:26-27 Confirmation from Jesus about the historical fact of the Flood, Noah and the Ark Hebrews 11:7 Confirmation of the Flood, Noah and the Ark 2 Peter 2:5 Only 8 people survived the Flood And the Flood Archaeology 33 separate tablets have been discovered of a gigantic flood 30 tablets mention an ark 28 mention an ark came to rest on a mountain 29 state that birds were sent out 30 mention favor for the survivors Most mention an act of worship as the survivors left the ark Weld-Blundell Prism Found in 1923 in lower Mesopotamia Written about 100 years before Abraham The record begins with 8 kings who ruled before the Flood At the end of the list of kings it says that the flood swept over the earth Weld-Blundell Prism The record parallels the genealogies in Genesis 5 and 11 Long life-spans inscribed on the prism are comparable to those found in Genesis Ebla Tablets Over 17,000 clay tablets discovered in Northern Syria Documents written on clay tablets from around 2400 B.C.

Boat anchor cut cable, mainland says
Updated at 3.03pm:
China's telecommunications department said a fishing boat accidentally severed the undersea Internet cable fixed this week after a 10-day break.
Mainland investigators found that a fishing boat's heavy iron anchor had cut the cable, according to a report from Hefei-based Jianghuai Morning Post.
To avoid further mishaps, the China Undersea Cable Corp is sending patrol boats to enforce a fishing ban within two nautical miles on either side of the cable. It will also install a 24-hour radar monitor in the area.
A 1.2-tonne anchor usually sinks two metres into the ocean floor and tidal currents can drag it as far as four nautical miles. This movement threatens cables buried one or two metres below the seabed.
According to earlier state media reports, fishing boats severed or damaged telecommunications cables within China's ocean waters 18 times in 1999.
Chinese authorities announced last year that they would phase out the boats most likely to cause problems. However, the Jianghuai Morning Post cited a survey saying the number of these boats is increasing. About 1,500 of them fish off the coast of east China's Zhejiang province.
The February 9 break made Net connections between China and North America slow to impossible. Internet users in Taiwan, Japan, Korea and Singapore were also affected. The cable was repaired and Internet links restored Monday evening.
The telecom department said the repair bill could come to six million yuan (about HK$5.85 million) and cause "immeasurable" indirect losses, the paper reported.

|2 for 1 GENUINE BlackBerry L-S1s Z10 batteries - Worth it!
User: Drew F, Feb 17, 2015
OK, so the Z10 doesnt have that great battery life. We all know this by now. So you absolutely cant go wrong here to get 2 genuine L-S1 batteries for $24.95 and never have to worry about this again!
Buying from CrackBerry is peace of mind for you can be sure the batteries arent some cheap knock-off and wont explode in your charger or phone. Seriously, this is a no-brainer..get these 2 for 1 L-S1 batteries now and avoid the hassle from buying elsewhere.
|very happy
User: Shannon W, Sep 26, 2014
|I just ordered this battery on Wednesday and it is here already ( Friday).. It is just as it says. Very happy works great!
|Best of All: No Surprises
User: Bob S, Jan 19, 2017
|My Z10 battery was starting to lose storage power, so when I got a chance for 2 at far less than one is often sold for, the deal was on. Battery arrived in Alberta, Canada very quickly, a few days in fact. I charged each and they are perfect replacements, precisely as long-lasting as the original was 3 years ago. Many a Z10 owner might note that a new battery renews your Z10 experience and permits a longer wait for a truly first-class BBerry to be birthed, but two new ones mean you can wait, gulp, almost forever. Aaaaaah!

We ordered this coffee table about 1 1/2 years ago. The first one we received had lots of scratches on it which were circular, as if someone used a circular buffer on it. Overstock delivered a perfect one immediately after with no problem. It looks awesome, and has lots of room in the side slots for magazines. I keep 2 red placemats on top to avoid scratching, and put our remotes on, and we always use coasters for our drinks. I clean it with damp paper towels and a dry towel to buff it dry. Never use Windex or any other cleaners on it! Everyone always compliments us on it and we never get tired of looking at it! It makes the room look bigger because of it's transparency, too. Great product from a great company...love you Overstock.com!
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Exactly!
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. High quality, even better than we expected.
