loyola maroon Vol. XLVM Loyola University, New Orleans, La., 70118, Friday, September 11,1970 No. 2 Academic freedom charge may reopen Blouin case By GARY ATKINS Maroon Editor The Tom Blouin case may be opened once again next week if a faculty committee that says Blouin appears to have been fired in violation of academic freedom presents evidence to support its statement. Blouin, a popular English instructor, was fired last semester over the protests of some facutly and students. The issue though has been pending for two years, since the board first urged Blouin's termination. Public reasons given for the firing of the teacher have included his lack of a Ph.D., his failure to keep regular office hours and his smoking in class violation of university policy. However, there have been assertions that supposedly anti-Catholic sentiments allegedly voiced by Blouin in class have contributed to his termination. The University Senate Rank and Tenure committee, which studied the case over the summer, referred to this controversy in its recent report, asking, "Was termination of Mr. Blouin because of lack of a Ph.D. or because of alleged anti-Catholic sentiments?" In July, the Directors rejected the committee's contention that Blouin had tenure at Loyola and should be given a contract. However, in its report, the committee stated that Blouin had "established a prima facie case that considerations violative of academic freedom significantly contributed to the decision not to reappoint him." Because of this statement, the case may again be opened, this time in the form of a full adversary proceeding. "The statement was the source of some embarrassment," the Rev. James C. Carter, S.J., vice president for academic affairs, said. Father Carter has asked the committee to produce its evidence supporting the claim about possible violation of academic freedom. "If I am presented with some evidence," he said, "I will take it to the board and request due process within the faculty. And I feel I will be able to get it." There are many complications that have entered into the Blouin case during its development in the past two years. Blouin was first given notice that he would be terminated for the academic year 1969-70 in October, 1968. The Board of Directors had passed along its wish that he be fired several months earlier, during the spring semester, 1968. However, following considerable protest from the faculty of the Department of English, the then-academic vice president, the Rev. Thomas H. Clancy, S.J., gave Blouin a contract for 1969-70 but told him it would be his last unless he obtained his Ph.D. However, according to the English department statements were made during the course of 1969 which indicated Blouin would be allowed to remain at Loyola, that his lack of a Ph.D. would be overlooked in view of his teaching ability. Then in February, 197U, when Blouin was not offered a contract for 1970-71, the chairman of the English department, Dr. John Corrington, asked that the case be heard by the rank and tenure committee of the University Senate, the faculty's representative body. The rank and tenure committee had actually been instructed to hear the Blouin case a year earlier, when the first dispute about Blouin arose between the administration and the English department. However, when administrative TOM BLOUIN Changes in Council structure outlined By MIMI GRIFFITH Maroon Staff Reporter "We've been living in the Dark Ages." Pat O'Keefe used these words to describe the conditions under which Loyola'a Student Council has labored for the past years. O'Keefe, vice-president of the Student Council, outlined a series of proposals which are designed to bring a new approach to the council's method of student government. Basically, the student's governing body would operate as a student interest group, rather than as a legislature. O'Keefe said that he would like to see the council quit being a body that "only passes unenforceable Mickey Mouse laws." He said the student government must find a way to represent effectively the interests of all the students to the administration. Specific changes mentioned by O'Keefe were the creation of more than one vice-presidency to handle executive responsibilities, a full-time press secretary, and more office help. The institution of an ombudsman is another innovation advocated by O'Keefe for the student government. The duties of an ombudsman would be to mediate disputes between students and members of the administration. The person who would hold this office would have to be someone "who had credibility at all levels of the university," said O'Keefe, "someone who is accepted as nonpartisan by all members of the community." In line with the aim to give the council a new approach, O'Keefe has suggested that the Student Council completely rewrite its constitution and change its name to the Student Government Association. A constitutional committee of the Student Council has been meeting to revamp the constitution of the council. After the rewritten version comes out of committee, it will be submitted to the Student Council for approval by a two-thirds majority. If the council passes the new constitution, the document will be put to a vote by the entire student body. In rewriting the constitution, the council will seek simplicity and flexibility. The constitutional committee headed by Kathy Walsh of A&S and Kenny Jacques of City College will strive to write a document which delineates clearly the lines of responsibility without straitjacketing the student government. Among the changes which are under consideration by the committee is the reapportionment of student government representation. According to co-chairman Kathy Walsh, a reapportionment plan that would bring in more members to the council would be desirable. She also noted that the committee was considering an apportionment scheme which would give special representation to students living on campus. By providing seats on the student government for some members of the Men's and Women's residence councils, the student government would better represent the interests of those students. There are also plans to clearly separate the functions and powers of tne Student Judicial Court from those of the council. The committee plans to include specifically that the court will have the power of judicial review over the acts of the student government. If the old constitution is replaced by a new one, the body of existing statutes which have been passed by the Student Council in previous years will become invalid. The constitutional committee will then prepare a single package of by-laws to present to the new student government if the proposed constitution passes. Another innovation by the Student Council may be membership in the Louisiana Intercollegiate State Legislature (LISL). According to O'Keefe, LISL serves as a voice of state-wide student opinion in Louisiana. If the Loyola student government were to join LISL, it would begin to play "a meaningful role in state politics which involve students," said O'Keefe. He explained that LISL holds a state-wide convention twice a year. One of the planks in the platform formed at last May's meeting included the intention to lobby for the 18-year-old vote in Louisiana. Students failed to get a two-thirds majority in both houses, necessary for a constitutional amendment, during the summer session of the state legislature. However, O'Keefe noted that LISL was instrumental in getting what response Louisiana legislators did give. Last week a Student Council committee completed a questionnaire from the federal government which requested information concerning campus unrest. John Brazier, A&S representative, reported at Tuesday's meeting that the questionnaire consisted mainly in questions which required factual answers about disorders on campus. Braziei also noted that the form provided the committee with the opportunity to make suggestions concerning the manner in which they believed university officials should handle campus unrest. Overload fee change approved by council By BILL LAM Maroon Staff Reporter The Student Council has approved with mixed emotions the controversial $50 overload fee. The fee, levied by the administration, imposed a $50 charge every semester hour in excess of the 20 hours allowed in any one semester. Edgar Chase, Student Council President, explained that this mixed feeling on the part of the council was due to the administration's method of implementing the fee without prior student consultation. Chase added that Father Thomas H. Clancy, former academic vice-president, had presented the overload fee proposal so late in the past spring semester that there was insufficient time for any investigation by the council as to the necessity of its implementation. Members of the council have, however, approved the overload fee in view of the fact that the limit of allowable hours has been raised from 19 to 20 hours. This modification, according to Chase, will help the majority of students, some of whom would have been at a financial disadvantage were the 19 hours limit maintained. Majors in the departments of Biological Sciences, Medical Technology, and Classical Languages would have been affected the most. The implementation of this overload fee was justified, according to the Fev. James C. Carter, S.J., academic vice-president because when numerous students register for an extra course the university has to provide more class rooms and faculty. These additions, continued Carter, would result in higher cost in tuition and "there is no reason why others taking less than 20 hours should have to pay more." The alternative to graduate within seven semesters instead of eight is now possible with students paying more for extra courses beyond the 20 semester hours allowed. The 20 hours limit was decided upon following Carter's consultation with John F. Fckholdt. vice-president for Business and Finance and Rev. John H. Mullahy, S.J., member of the Board of Directors and chairman of the Department of Biological Sciences. Despite the disapproval of the method of implementing the fee. Chase says that he feels it to be unwise "to rehash a past event." But he did emphasize that the council is not anti-administration and for things to remain that way the administration "should work side by side with the council in matters concerned with tuition." Council shelves spring sanctions against Loyola The word "sanction", dusted off in the heat of last spring, is now a forgotten term. In explaining what has been done about the sanctions, F.dgar Chase, Student Council president, simply stated, "We haven't done anything about them." Included in the sanctions considered were a possible call for students to refuse to pay their tuition and fees and the purchase of an advertisement enjoining students not to return to this university. As Chase pointed out, the sanctions were reactions against last year's administration's actions. Chase contends that the Student Council need not discriminate against the new administration for actions taken by their predecessors. "The council". Chase said,"is taking a new approach this year. We would rather try to cooperate, negotiate, and discuss issues with the new administration than bring sanctions against them." Danny Hynes, president of the College of Arts and Sciences, agrees with Chase that a new atmosphere exists this year due to the new administrators. "This year, the outlook of the council is a lot more optimistic than last year's," he said. Hynes said that last year the students were caught up in a lot of emotional aspects. "This year," he said,"the council can be more objective." The sanctions that were proposed last semester concerned mainly the $50 fee that was to be charged for every semester hour taken over 19 and the controversy over the Bloum issue. According to a motion by Alan Vera, former Student Council member, the sanctions were to be enacted to secure the rights of students "against any intolerable infringements upon | their] education." The council proposed to request ull students to refrain from paying their tuition for this school year. Because the council doubted the real need for the fee, they proposed to employ state officials to audit the university's books. At the end of last semester, the council collected money to run an advertisement in the local papers to discourage students from attending this university. Last April, letters were sent out to enlist the aid of parents in the Blouin controversy. With the exception of this letter being sent out, no action has been taken on any of the sanctions. Chase cited the reasons as to why the sanctions weren't feasible this year. He said that because of pre-registration. many students mailed in their tuition and fee money. Thus, it was very difficult to contact students during the summer vacation to request them not to pay their money tor this semester. Chase said that in order to employ someone to audit a private university's books, one must have a sufficient amount of sound evidence to warrant such action. Chase said that the council contacted several lawyers and lound I hat enough evidence was lacking. The advertisement was the only council sanction that could have been carried out. ('hase slated that the decision of whether or not to run the ad lay on his shoulders. "I have decided not to run it because I see no reason for it now." Chase and Hynes said they do not contend that last year's sanctions were unnecessary. 'There was a lot wrong with this university lust year." he said. Chase believes that this year's administration will be much more receptive than was last year's. ROTC revamps program to attract cadets By REXBARBAS Maroon Staff Reporter Like many other college ROTC programs across the nation, Loyola Army Reserve Training Corps Department will be regrouping this year in an effort to spur new interest in the program, something that was lost to many young men with the installment of the draft lottery last December. As expected the new draft system cut the enrollment of ROTC classes across the nation, and Loyola was no exception. Last year there were 205 students in Military Science while the present enrollment numbers only 147. The freshman enrollment this year is 38, a drop of about 40 per cent. All this, however, came as no surprise to Major Leonard H. Chisholm, acting Professor of Military Science. While admitting that the new ROTC students are those who would be drafted if they did not join, Chisholm and his staff have come up with a new program designed to insure more interest in ROTC. Major Thomas Hamilton, coordinator of the new programs, said they "intended to broaden the learning scope so that the students get more that what we offer in the department." The newest innovation is that of a lecture program for seniors. The lecfures are given by members of other departments in their respective fields. Before this year, freshmen and sophomores were not eligible for rank. Through this new system of ranking, a new cadet may advance himself in the program. Certain improvements will affect the entire cadet program. Business Administration senior Bill Weaver, new Cadet Lt. Col. of the Batallion, said that "'as cadets assigned to leadership positions, we are responsible for .ill activities in ROTC other than the classroom lecture. The focal point of our influence occurs at the weekly drill period." The drill period has been cut from two hours down to one. This was done by eliminating excess activities and by making the period more concise and inleresling. Anolhci general improvement will be the installation of an inspector general, whose job it will be to receive complaints and then to investigate on the problem and make a report. A "Review Board" has been set up as a type of arbitrational board that will make recommendations concerning the functioning of the ROTC program to the commanding officer for consideration. One of the newest nationwide ROTC innovations is the "Three-Month Option" which is available to ill graduating seniors with the exception of those on Milirary Scholarships. The program consist! of a three to m\ month training program alter graduation. Alter ihis the cade) would go into the reserve lor a total ol eight years. The other option is the same as it has always been, that is a tegular serving period of two years active duty and six years in the reserve. With all the improvements, however, there remains those in ROTC who do nol believe that the program can ever change for the better, usually those who have high draft numbers. "Personally, I'm in ROI ( because I have to." commented one cadet who wished to remain anonymous. "Besides, I'd rather eat steak than K-rations." (continued on page 4)

Case IH combine expert Terry Snack provides the following tips and tricks to minimize harvest losses. He also details the "Agronomic Design" of the Case IH Axial Flow combines and 4000 Series corn heads.
He says that 60% of harvest losses come from the corn head. A key is reduce ear drop—1 or 2 fallen ears translates to 2 to 3 bu./acre losses. And dropped loose kernels are not only lost income potential but also can lead to volunteer issues.
When machine losses are being identified, it can be easy to identify where those losses occur: kernels left on the cob are threshing losses and kernels on the ground are separating losses.
University and industry experts have established that acceptable levels of harvest loss are 1% of total yield.

In the company's third quarter investor call this morning, AGCO officials cited the Challenger brand as the leading contributor to an increase in sales for North America.
They said sales were strongest in the row crop segment, with the most significant increases in high horsepower tractors, sprayers and implements.
And Challenger sales are up 7% year-to-date compared with 2012.
"That is the main source of improvement that we're seeing in North America is through the Challenger branded products and the Challenger dealers," said Andy Beck, AGCO's Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer and Senior Vice President.
He continued and gave credit to the distribution network
"As you know, a lot of those Challenger dealers are Caterpillar dealers, and we're seeing significant investments by those dealers to further position themselves in the ag sector and things are going quite well in that regard," Beck said.
And then Martin Richenhagen, AGCO's Chief Executive Officer and President named perhaps the three top CAT dealers leading the charge, "There you can see very strong companies, like Butler, Altorfer and Ziegler, investing more in our business, and that helped us basically take hold of the Challenger business in the U.S."
Overall in North America, net sales grew 8.9% in AGCO's North American region during the first nine months of 2013 compared to 2012, excluding the negative impact of currency translation.
I found this story about Sarah Kennedy taking over her dad's auto repair shop a great read. It's from a magazine (Ratchet + Wrench) that covers the auto care industry, but I think there are some great lessons for agriculture, particularly how good communication practices can help any business run better:
In the context of machinery repair and service,
"A lot of what a customer mistakes as bad car repair is simply poor communication"
"We're in a relationship-based business"
In the context as a farm manager communicating with employees,
They have standard meetings and times to communicate "Every Monday mornig we have a check-in meeting first thing in the morning."
The team credits success with their supplier partners "After several years of having great communication between our customers, our parts suppliers, our technicians, and the owners, it really is an exception when something gets screwed up and we don't know how it happened."

Terrible service... avoid
27/11/2013 by rorobert
I recently had the displeasure of Brar & Co's service. Slow to the point of static, uncommunicative, and generally crap. The conveyance took over 3 months with excuses like 'we hadn't got the papers yet... oh we've found them!' Avoid using. I gave one star because you can't give none, which they deserve.

This contemporary home is uniquely situated on a cliff open to the bay with direct access to the sea and a private cave. Currently the property is not finished and offers the possibility of acquiring in current conditions or completely finished. According to the existing project, the space of the house is divided into three zones: the daytime, the night zone and the work space. Its implementation in a "U" will offer a landscaped courtyard pool with sea water and south oriented. The trees will be distributed to create shaded areas which are so desirable in the summer. It is a bioclimatic building of recyclable blocks. The facades near the sea need no maintenance. Some tanks of 4000 liters allow the recovery of rainwater that will be used for watering gardens. The architecture of this property offers high-quality contemporary living and work spaces. The spaces are tailored according to the needs of a family. The house is a haven where one finds peace and serenity regeneration. The common spaces and double height lofts give a feeling of total freedom space in line with the sea. A window in the pool solar rays projected through the filter of seawater in a shallow part of the house thus irradiating the space of a submarine atmosphere like we were submerged under the sea.
L'Escala is a seaside town with very diverse landscapes, from sandy beaches formed by coastal dunes to rocky massifs and abrupt coves. This landscape is framed between the Montgrí Massif and the Aiguamolls de l'Empordà. The Cala Montgó, Riells, the typical beaches of the historical town, and the beaches in Empúries stand out especially.
There are numerous cultural resources, including: the Archaeological Museum of Catalonia in Empúries, with the ruins of a Greek city and a Roman city; the Museu de l'Anxova i de la Sal (The Anchovy and Salt Museum); the towers of Pedró and Montgó; Cementiri Marí (The Marine Cemetery); Sant Martí d'Empúries (conserved as a medieval town); and a series of examples of the fishing tradition: MARAM (the Fish Interpretation Centre), the Alfolí de la Sal (the old salt storehouse), the norais (bollards) for mooring boats, the monuments to the people who live off the sea and the Dona del pescador (the fishermen's wife).
L'Escala is also known for its gastronomy, especially for the Anxoves de l'Escala (L'Escala anchovies), which are conserved using ancestral methods. A visit to one of the anchovy factories is highly recommended.
We would also like to highlight important leisure activities which take place throughout the year: the Triumvirat Mediterrani (Mediterranean Triumvirate), the Empúries Marathon, the aplec de la sardana (sardana gathering), the Mare de Déu del Carme Festival, the Portalblau Festival, the Festa de la Sal (Salt Festival), the Festa de l'Anxova (Anchovy Festival), and the Jornades Gastronòmiques del Suquet de Peix (Fish Broth Festival).
Additionally, l'Escala offers SCUBA diving, bicycle routes, and hiking routes, amongst other sport, aquatic, and leisure activities

When they moved Friday Fest off of 2nd St. that put an end to the downtown businesses feeding off of events they were intended to enhance. Riverfront is beautiful and we have the best farmer's market in the area. Friday Fest, Farmer's market and craft show should stay where they are. Maybe we could resurrect the trolley to shuttle people up to 2nd St. BUT if there is nothing to go up there for no one will go. I can't believe the City charges $500 for a business to "host" Bike Night. Maybe all of the businesses could share the cost of the $500 for this and other events to be located in the downtown not on the river. Ultimately, we need a variety of shops and restaurants there and that's the City's job to get our downtown going. The area is a dead zone right now and has no where to go but up. Forget the Sunrise it can only do so much if nothing else is happening down there. Maybe with some new blood City Officials they could focus on some incentives to bring in some great new shops and restaurants. I still think convesion of the top floors to residential units would be cool.
Right on Tester. I'm all about the residents upstairs idea but also to have downstairs storefronts Not occupied by anyone not willing to be open to at least 10 pm. Meaning no offices. Retail and restaurants, bars, music and those kind of things would get the place jump'in.

The national security case for "all of the above" energy and Keystone XL Posted December 12, 2013 President Obama's former national security adviser, retired Marine Corps Commandant James Jones, makes a strong argument for U.S. energy polices that include oil, natural gas, and the Keystone XL Pipeline. Take a look at this short interview with Gen. Jones, published last week in the Minneapolis Star Tribune: Oil industry adviser makes the case for pipelines His viewpoint on the environmental issues surrounding Keystone XL makes a lot of sense: I'm not a scientist, but I take environmental concerns very seriously, as we all should. The State Department concluded in an environmental impact statement, however, that there is no appreciable impact on our climate as a result of this pipeline. I would also say that I believe in the "all of the above" energy strategy, including renewables. Fundamentally, I believe that keeping our economy strong and our innovation system vibrant — which requires energy security — will position us best to meet the economic, security, and environmental challenges ahead, as sound science and good sense dictate. This is what Keystone XL detractors seem to miss. The Keystone XL Pipeline, which has passed credible environmental assessments, can play a significant role in a well-rounded energy policy that supports economic, national security, and environmental progress.

Support the EPA's Ethanol Reduction Posted December 10, 2013 Our engines are safe – for now. Facing reality, the Environmental Protection Agency proposed to reduce the amount of ethanol required to be blended into fuel. This means that E15 – fuel that's 15 percent ethanol – won't be forced into the market next year. We can't get too comfortable, however. The special interest groups that benefit from ethanol production are fighting the EPA's proposal. They want to force high-ethanol fuel onto the marketplace. They will do all they can to get the EPA to reverse itself. If they succeed, we could see fuel rationing and much higher gasoline and diesel costs. A study shows that leaving the RFS untouched could even lead to a $770 billion reduction in our nation's GDP. T hat's what's at stake in the fight over the ethanol mandate. Before this ethanol reduction can go into effect, the EPA has to seek comments from the public. This public comment period is happening right now. It's vital that Energy Citizens let the EPA know that they support its decision in this area. The EPA's action was necessary to prevent immediate problems with our fuel supply. We know that the real solution to these problems is repealing the Renewable Fuel Standard. Ultimately, Congress needs to protect consumers and get rid of the ethanol mandate. For right now, however, let's make sure the EPA does the right thing. National, Issues, mobile, E15, RFS Read & Comment (0) Share This
Energy Citizens Rally at EPA Hearing Posted December 6, 2013 Yesterday, about 80 Energy Citizens from Virginia, North Carolina and Pennsylvania made the treck to the DC area to rally support for the EPA's recent decision to lower the amounts of ethanol mixed into fuel. Thanks to all the Energy Citizens that attended! Your presence made a huge difference. It is essential for our country's energy future that you and other concerned Energy Citizens take the time to attend events like the RFS hearing, as well as communicate with elected officials and speak out on important energy issues. Thanks again for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend the hearing. We look forward to seeing you at other events in the future. We appreciate your efforts!

Election Results Show Energy Citizens Need to Get to Work Posted December 6, 2013 Election Day is over, and anti-energy activists were busy. In Ohio and Colorado, they pushed local initiatives to ban hydraulic fracturing. While they did not win everywhere, they did succeed in spreading misinformation and fear. These results show that Energy Citizens need to fight even harder to protect U.S. energy production and increase our energy security. In Ohio, voters in Bowling Green and Youngstown rejected hydraulic fracturing bans. For Youngstown voters, this was the second time this year that they voted down an anti-energy ordinance. However, voters in one Ohio town, Oberlin, did support a ban. In Colorado, American energy production did not fare as well. Three cities voted for a hydraulic fracturing ban. One city in the state, Broomfield, rejected such a ban. These results will surely embolden those who want to see hydraulic fracturing come to an end in the United States. There will likely be more initiatives on the ballot in 2014 to ban hydraulic fracturing. Energy Citizens need to start working today to ensure that our friends and neighbors know the truth about this process. Hydraulic fracturing is safe and necessary for our nation to move towards energy independence. Let's work together to get this message out to the public!

When I was young "The Easter Bunny" always left me a basket filled with jellybeans and various chocolate treats. It was a time for sugar overload in our house. We never had a problem with, or heard about, childhood obesity and diabetes. These are concerns I don't want to worry about with my children. On one hand, I want them to experience childhood joys as I did, but I also want to keep them healthy. Do you have any suggestions or guidelines to help us stay balanced?

Source: Dr. Thomas Scott, Specialty: Family Practice
You bring up a great point about the rise in obesity and diabetes, but I would point out this is not exclusively a childhood problem. These two health concerns are affecting every age and are especially prevalent in our area. There are a number of factors contributing to the rapid gain in overall weight and declining health of society. A diet laden with sweets is one, and lack of activity and consumption of processed and fast foods rank high on the list as well. But in the spirit of Easter, let's focus on the sugar. As you fill this year's baskets, consider adding activities, puzzles or games that will engage your child's mind or get them playing outside. Work in some nutritious treats as well. Carrots and colored boiled eggs are great snacks from the Easter Bunny!
Here are some nutritional facts for some classic Easter favorites:
Let's assume you eat two Cadbury Crème Eggs and a half a cup of jelly beans in a day. You will have eaten approximately 600 calories solely on the desire to satisfy your sweet tooth. This is not by any stretch of the imagination out of the ordinary, and something most parents will do while "inspecting" their child's basket. I suggest getting out and enjoying some fresh spring air as a family – consider cycling or a brisk walk to burn off those calories and as you said "stay balanced".

Facebook is a social networking site based out of Palo Alto, CA. The site, originally founded at Harvard University, has grown to become the largest online social network in the world, boasting over 500 million members who log in at least once per month. Facebook has been the subject of controversy related two the company's ownership and their privacy policies. Facebook's founder, Mark Zuckerberg, allegedly did not originally conceive of the idea–a series of lawsuits have been aimed at him and Zuckerberg has settled in court. The vast majority of the press and tech world believe that Zuckerberg is the founder and rightful owner of Facebook. There have also been several controversies related to Facebook privacy policies and social games that run on the site like FarmVille, CityVille, Texas HoldEm Poker, and FrontierVille, all of which are social games played on the Facebook platform.
Facebook's original competitor was MySpace, the first social networking site available widely on the web. Facebook now competes with Bebo, Orkut, and even Google. Google+ has grown to over 90 million users according to the latest quarterly conference call that Google's has had with investors. Google+ aims to build a massive user base of existing users who log in ever day to Google services.

The Facebook login system is widely known for being strong with high rates of uptime, allowing Facebook users to log in at all hours of the day. If you have any Facebook login issues, please report them below.
Facebook Connect Login Issues
The Facebook Connect login experience underwent a change in October 2009 when the dialog box behavior changed from the iframe lightbox to having a separate window with its own address bar. This change makes Facebook Connect act in the same way as when a user is currently not logged into Facebook. An additional benefit of the new Facebook login convention for connect is that it enables users to have more transparency in identifying the URL as a trusted source before they login to Facebook.
Facebook Login Strategy
What's the deal with Facebook Login buttons and Facebook Like buttons all over the web? Facebook's goal is to be the one true login that you need on the internet. A common user pain is having to remember multiple logins and credentials for the various sites and services you use. With the Facebook login you only need one–your Facebook account.
Facebook Login Traffic
Facebook has over 500 million users put only gets about 140 million of those users to log in every month, creating a large delta in the number of monthly active users. The current monthly active users / total users is about 25% shown in the 140 million uniques logging into Facebook. Traffic has scaled dramatically in the last year as Facebook has experienced massive viral growth.
Facebook IPO
Facebook is planning one of the biggest IPO's in US history, slated to occur in May 2012 once the company is forced by the SEC to either go public or reveal financial statistics. There are a number of investment banks clamoring to get a piece of the Facebook IPO, which according to some sources could net at least $200 million to the investment bank that takes them public. While Goldman Sachs was originally expected to lead the IPO because of their role in a private offering earlier in 2011, many inside sources are indicating that Facebook is likely to work with Morgan Stanley's tech banking team, an elite group investment bankers that took nearly half of this year's tech IPO's public, including LinkedIn and Pandora. Facebook's valuation is certainly rich in terms of a multiple on sales and earnings. eMarketer, a research firm, estimates that Facebook earned $4.3 billion in sales during 2011, mostly coming from advertising and credits. While these might sound like great statistics, Facebook is unlikely to be a great fit for your 401K or Roth IRA, so be warned and speak with your investment advisor.
Facebook Developer Considerations
Facebook has become extremely transparent about sharing the service's uptime and response time for logins and pageloads. Basically if you're interested in investigating the platform status and its overall health the place to check out is the Platform Status page. This page will provide developers with connection and Facebook login issues with PHP SDK and OAuth troubleshooting. One interesting thing about this page is that Facebook shares their average response time for the API as well as the frequency of errors occurring on their platform–this transparency makes Facebook a trustworthy partner and likely candidate for the cloud-based web OS that industry pundits have been talking about for years.
FB Login
FB is commonly used to refer to Facebook, but this not an official brand name. FB Login generally refers to Facebook login, the Facebook login homepage that lets users access the social networking site's interface. FB login is shorthand for the first two words in the brand name "Facebook." In actuality, Facebook is a single word as a brand and cannot be separated into the "FB" required to make the FB login moniker work, but nevertheless many customers still refer to the social network as FB and access their Facebook through the FB login.
FB login problems can come up most frequently when your IP has blocked social networking sites like www.facebook.com. If this happens, you'll need to get a proxy service to go around the block that is keeping you off of www.facebook.com.

If you missed our NFC fantasy preview, you can find it right here.
If you missed our NFC fantasy preview, you can find it right here.
I used to plan my fantasy football drafts meticulously. I used to create spreadsheets with my own personal rankings of players, established only after poring over any number of inexplicably pricey preseason fantasy guides (Eight dollars, Street & Smith's? BLOW ME) and scouring numerous online mock drafts. I don't do…
The Name of the Year Bracket has been released! Holy RexAchilles! That means it's time for Spencer Hall and I to formally go through the bracket in our annual Name of the Year podcast. You can listen here, or click the iTunes link to the show here. Quickly, let me take you through the top four seeds from each region:
Did you know one of the nominated movies on Sunday night is a disgusting Greek film that features hardcore incest? I did not. That's why I roped in Leitch to do a drive-by Deadcast previewing this year's ceremony, which is sure to be boring and stupid and contain any number of needless musical interludes. You can…
It's fantasy draft time, which means it's time for us to sit down with Yahoo's Andy Behrens for part two of our annual fantasy preview. All killer, no filler.
Every year, Andy Behrens of Yahoo and I preview the upcoming fantasy season by going through every team in the NFL. All killer, no filler. Listen here. Join us, won't you?
Worlds are colliding, folks. Number one podcaster in the universe Adam Carolla was nice enough to record an audio funbag with us, in which he answers some of your most probing questions.
People, there is a huge difference between merely looking at your 2010 Name of the Year ballot, and saying those names out loud. And this special Deadcast will prove it. (Listen here, iTunes here.)
This week's Deadcast guest is your old Weekend Daddy and editor of Yahoo's Shutdown Corner, THE MIGHTY MJD. (Listen here, iTunes here.) Oh, MJD. How we've missed you.
This week's Deadcast guest is Andy Behrens from Yahoo's Roto Arcade. (Listen here, iTunes here.) And once again, we go all killer, no filler.
Like many Deadspin readers, I'm a regular listener of Drew's Deadcast podcast. But boy: That fellow sure does love to say the word "fuck."
This week's Deadcast guest is Hold Steady guitarist Tad Kubler (Listen here, iTunes here.) DOUBLE WHISKY COKE NO ICE.
Your Deadcast guest this week is Hall of Famer Jim Brown (listen here). And holy shit, is that man intimidating. Except when talking about rollerskating around Venice Beach.
Your Deadcast guest this week is Pulitzer Prize winner, author, and noted horsefucker Buzz Bissinger, and he's still got some f-bombs in his pocket. He was Artie Lange before Artie Lange was Artie Lange, you know.
This week's second Deadcast guest is actress, producer, and avid tumblr, uh, er, Justine Bateman.
Our Deadcast guest this week is none other than Martellus Bennett: tight end for the Dallas Cowboys, expert blogger and renowned Twitter fiend.
This week's Deadcast guest is Selena Roberts, the author of A-Rod and columnist for SI. Did you know Selena is the daughter of hoboes? It's true!
Another three-man Deadcast this week, featuring best-selling author Stefan Fatsis and NYT sports media editor Richard Sandomir.
