Good morning,
The blame-Obama contingent of market pundits has been knocked around this past week, with stocks finally clawing back all of their post-election losses. Now, it's mostly up to the Fed and its expected batch of new easing to carry the winning streak to six consecutive sessions.
Stocks are edging slightly higher before the bell and the Pope, through the power of Twitter, just blessed everybody, so we got that going for us.
The tech sector has paced the recent advance, despite a sluggish run for Apple /quotes/zigman/68270 /quotes/nls/aapl AAPL . A key metric showing how broad-based the strength is, according to Bespoke Investment, the fact that 69% of stocks in the S&P 500 are trading above their 50-day moving average. Among tech stocks, 84% are above that level.
At this point, traders are in a holding pattern until word from the Fed starts to trickle in.
Key market gauges: Futures on the Dow /quotes/zigman/8750714 DJZ2 and the S&P /quotes/zigman/3102232 SPZ2 are up fractionally. A strong showing in Asia /quotes/zigman/6959860 XX:ADOW along with a flatish session in Europe /quotes/zigman/2380150 XX:SXXP are setting the stage for what could be an extension to yesterday's advance in the U.S. market.
"As the Fed are widely expected to announce a straightforward rebrand of Operation Twist, investors are waiting to see if there is any change to their steadfast position over the longer term," said Mike McCudden, head of derivatives at Interactive Investor in London. Read: Stock futures nudge higher; Fed move awaited.
The economy: The Fed's latest monetary policy decision will be announced at 12:30 p.m. Eastern followed by a press conference held by Bernanke at 2:15. Read: Fed to do what it can to ease cliff uncertainty.
Charles Hugh Smith, on the Of Two Minds blog, says the Fed and the politicians are doing precisely what needs to be done … if you're looking to create "an increasingly fragile economy." It's a lot like a meth addict in that way. Withdraw the stimulus and it could get ugly fast. Continue the stimulus, and it becomes more and more ineffective. "The status quo is now trapped in a brittle hall of mirrors," Smith contends.
Before the Fed steals all the headlines during the thick of the trading day, we have the MBA weekly mortgage applications survey, November import prices and the EIA weekly petroleum status report.
The buzz: Among top trending tickers, Yelp /quotes/zigman/9021597 /quotes/nls/yelp YELP gets started at outperform from Credit Suisse, and Bank of America /quotes/zigman/190927 /quotes/nls/bac BAC is inching higher in the premarket with more to come, according to Trading Deck contributor Marc Chaikin.
BofA Merrill Lynch released its global outlook for 2013, in which it calls for the S&P 500 to reach 1,600 after a "painful and protracted resolution" to the fiscal cliff. Moody's pointed to a second-half recovery for economic growth.
Stocks triggering an uptick in bullish buzz on StockTwits include Arena Pharmaceuticals /quotes/zigman/83618 /quotes/nls/arna ARNA and Salesforce.com /quotes/zigman/338061 /quotes/nls/crm CRM , both of which have seen their message frequency more than double in the past week.
Also watch out for shares of Molycorp /quotes/zigman/595467 /quotes/nls/mcp MCP , which are down 7% in premarket trades after the rare-earth mining company's CEO called it quits late yesterday.
Costco /quotes/zigman/67728 /quotes/nls/cost COST is set to move lower, as well, following its quarterly results that just hit this morning. Shares are off almost 1% in premarket action to $97.66.
The chart of the day: The retail investor's exodus from the individual stocks has been well covered in cyberspace, but this chart from the Macrofugue blog provides a telling visual of just how pronounced and steady it has been over the past half century. There are several charts worth checking out in this post, including another which sums up the impact of "the enormous success of capitalism over the past 60 years."
The call of the day: What do AMR /quotes/zigman/8007147 /quotes/nls/aamrq AAMRQ , Chesapeake /quotes/zigman/126832 /quotes/nls/chk CHK and MEMC Electronic Materials /quotes/zigman/154488 /quotes/nls/wfr WFR have in common? Well, 2013 might be their last year in existence, according to Gordon Wilcox on Benzinga.com.
Random reads: We all know him, and we all detest him. He's "That Guy" who makes us all feel like crap because his fancy investments always pan out. But don't listen to that blowhard. Here are the reasons why.
Barron's Roundtable has been a profitable approach to playing the market in recent years. In fact, the average return of the group, with Swiss hedge fund manager Felix Zulauf leading the way, has been 11.5% since 2002 vs. -0.2% for the S&P 500. The Pundit Tracker blog has the numbers. Watch video on Barron's top picks for 2013.
Coffee. Drink up. Lots of it. "The more they drank, the longer they lived."

Revision as of 13:03, 31 December 2013
zh-CN:Kernels/Compilation/Traditional This article is an introduction to building custom kernels from kernel.org sources. This method of compiling kernels is the traditional method common to all distributions. If this seems too complicated, see some alternatives at: Kernels#Compilation
- 1 Fetching source
- 2 Build configuration
- 3 Compilation and installation
- 4 Bootloader configuration
- 5 Using the NVIDIA video driver with your custom kernel
Fetching source
- Fetch the kernel source from http://www.kernel.org. This can be done with GUI or text-based tools that utilize: HTTP, FTP, RSYNC, or Git.
For instance, using wget via http:
$ wget -c https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/linux-3.10.4.tar.xz
- It is always a good idea to verify the signature for any downloaded tarball. See kernel.org/signature for how this works and other details.
- Copy the kernel source to your build directory, e.g.:
$ cp linux-3.10.4.tar.xz ~/kernelbuild/
- Unpack it and enter the source directory:
$ cd ~/kernelbuild $ tar -xvJf linux-3.10.4.tar.xz $ cd linux-3.10.4
Prepare for compilation by running the following command:
make mrproper
This ensures that the kernel tree is absolutely clean. The kernel team recommends that this command be issued prior to each kernel compilation. Do not rely on the source tree being clean after un-tarring.
What about /usr/src/ ?
/usr/src/ for compilation as root, along with the creation of the corresponding symlink, has been the target of much debate.
- It is considered poor practice by some users. They consider the cleanest method to simply use your home directory for configuring and compiling. Then installing as root.
- Other experienced users consider the practice of the entire compiling process as root to be completely safe, acceptable, and even preferable.
Use whichever method you feel more comfortable with. The following instructions can be interchangeable for either method.
Build configuration
This is the most crucial step in customizing the kernel to reflect your computer's precise specifications. By setting the options in
.config properly, your kernel and computer will function most efficiently.
Configure your kernel
Two options for beginners to ease use or save time:
- Copy the .config file from the running kernel, if you want to modify default Arch settings.
$ zcat /proc/config.gz > .config
- localmodconfig Since kernel 2.6.32, this should only select those options which are currently being used.
- Boot into stock
-ARCHkernel, and plug in all devices that you expect to use on the system.
cdinto your source directory and run:
$ make localmodconfig
- The resulting configuration file will be written to
.config. You can then compile and install as stated below.
- Boot into stock
$ make menuconfig
This will start with a fresh
.config, unless one already exists (e.g. copied over). Option dependencies are automatically selected. And new options (i.e. with an older kernel
.config) may or may not be automatically selected.
Make your changes to the kernel and save your config file. It is a good idea to make a backup copy outside the source directory, since you could be doing this multiple times until you get all the options right. If unsure, only change a few options between compiles. If you cannot boot your newly built kernel, see the list of necessary config items here. Running
$ lspci -k # from liveCD lists names of kernel modules in use. Most importantly, you must maintain CGROUPS support. This is necessary for systemd.
If you are compiling a kernel using your current config file, do not forget to rename your kernel version, or you may replace your existing one by mistake.
$ make menuconfig General setup ---> (-ARCH) Local version - append to kernel release '3.n.n-RCn'
Compilation and installation
Compilation time will vary from 15 minutes to over an hour. This is largely based on how many options/modules are selected, as well as processor capability. See Makeflags for details.
make all will configure LILO, and may result in an unbootable system.
$ make .
Install modules
# make modules_install
This copies the compiled modules into
/lib/modules/[kernel version + CONFIG_LOCALVERSION]. This way, modules can be kept separate from those used by other kernels on your machine.
Copy kernel to /boot directory
# cp -v arch/x86/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-YourKernelName
Make initial RAM disk
If you do not know what this is, please see: Initramfs on Wikipedia and mkinitcpio.
# mkinitcpio -k FullKernelName -c /etc/mkinitcpio.conf -g /boot/initramfs-YourKernelName.img
You are free to name the
/boot files anything you want. However, using the [kernel-major-minor-revision] naming scheme helps to keep order if you:
- Keep multiple kernels
- Use mkinitcpio often
- Build third-party modules.
# mkinitcpio -p custom. See here
If you are using LILO and it cannot communicate with the kernel device-mapper driver, you have to run
modprobe dm-mod first.
Copy System.map
System.map file is not required for booting Linux. It is a type of "phone directory" list of functions in a particular build of a kernel. The
System.map contains a list of kernel symbols (i.e function names, variable names etc) and their corresponding addresses. This "symbol-name to address mapping" is used by:
- Some processes like klogd, ksymoops etc
- By OOPS handler when information has to be dumped to the screen during a kernel crash (i.e info like in which function it has crashed).
Copy System.map to /boot and create symlink
# cp System.map /boot/System.map-YourKernelName
After completing all steps above, you should have the following 3 files and 1 soft symlink in your
/boot directory along with any other previously existing files:
- Kernel: vmlinuz-YourKernelName
- Initramfs-YourKernelName.img
- System Map: System.map-YourKernelName
Bootloader configuration
Add an entry for your amazing new kernel in your bootloader's configuration file - see GRUB, LILO, GRUB2 or Syslinux for examples.
$ arch/x86/boot/install.sh. Remember to type
lilo as root at the prompt to update it.
Using the NVIDIA video driver with your custom kernel
To use the NVIDIA driver with your new custom kernel, see: How to install nVIDIA driver with custom kernel. You can also install nvidia drivers from AUR.

Have a question for Tim?
LaDainian Tomlinson has been pushing for the 2-H package, but he doesn't seem to have quite enough pull.
The Chargers' record-setting running back would like to try lining up in the same formation with his electrifying understudy, Darren Sproles – 2-H meaning two halfbacks – but that bright idea has repeatedly run up against a stiffarm stance from head coach Norv Turner, aka Commander Killjoy.
"He always says, 'We're putting it in. We're putting it in. We're talking about it,' " Tomlinson said. "And eventually he will. You just have to continue to walk by him and say, 'Hey, me and Darren are waiting for that.' "
That Turner has yet to take the hint from his most accomplished player tells you that as much as the 2-H package excites the imagination, it may not be much more realistic than another H freezing over.
The Chargers have no more explosive or elusive weapons than Tomlinson and Sproles; no other players more capable of dazzling changes of direction or dodging prospective tacklers. But the problem with drawing up plays that include both of them is making adequate use of the guy who doesn't wind up with the ball.
"We look at it," Turner said. "The more playmakers you get on the field, the better off you are. The problem with it is, as I've always said when I've been asked this almost everywhere I've been, is one of them has got to block, and one of them has got to block some pretty physical people.
"That's not saying that LT isn't an outstanding blocker. He is. But I don't think that you're (going to) create a package and put in a formation and a system to feature LT as a blocker. And, obviously, that's not what Darren does."
Tomlinson did not accumulate 11,760 career rushing yards by creating diversions or opening holes for someone else. Judging only by his body type, the 5-foot-6 Sproles would not seem built for a steady diet of blitz pickup.
Yet as much as pro football has become a game of situational substitution and as much as teams strive to create fresh looks and personnel imbalances, it's curious that the Chargers haven't done more field testing of their 2-H package, if only to force opponents to invest time in finding an antidote.
"I think it makes for mismatches," Tomlinson said. "That's the No. 1 thing that you try to do in football is to create mismatches. I think (the 2-H) creates the best mismatch possible in a game situation because one of us is going to get a mismatch."
Since Tomlinson already owns the NFL record for touchdowns in a single season (31), and since Sproles scored six times from scrimmage last year in just 90 touches, it's apparent that neither player is dependent on the other to find daylight. Still, the idea of getting them both involved in the same plays is intriguing enough to be included in the Chargers' playbook.
Next comes the more difficult step, moving the concept from paper to the practice field. Coaches are always tinkering with new concepts, but they tend to narrow their playbook as a new season approaches. The Chargers experimented with the faddish Wildcat formation in June, for example, but have yet to revisit it in training camp. Typically, NFL teams adhere to Vince Lombardi's advice to, "do what you do best and do it again and again."
What the Chargers do best on offense is to present a balanced attack with a varied assortment of playmakers. Inasmuch as using two halfbacks would likely eliminate either All-Pro tight end Antonio Gates or a field-stretching wideout such as Chris Chambers, Malcom Floyd or Vincent Jackson, the added wrinkle is substantially offset by a subtracted receiver.
Still, imagine the difficulty in chasing a pair of rabbits running in opposite directions. Imagine Sproles sprinting into open space as a slot receiver with Tomlinson curling out of the backfield toward the opposite sideline. Imagine trying to scrape up enough speed and agility to cover the both of them.
Now, and this may take a little more imagination, see if you can find the means to deploy both players and still protect the quarterback.
"Any time you have two backs as dangerous as ours, as many times as they can be on the field, you'd like to have them out there," Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers said. "(But) it doesn't always fit. It doesn't allow you to keep your normal scheme when they're both out there. It's a wrinkle we have, but how much we use it kind of depends.
"If you have them both back there, you're either sending LT blocking a (middle) linebacker, or Sproles. I don't think either one of them would be fighting the other to be the one that does that."
Neither, however, do the Chargers' scatbacks shrink from the challenge of being bull-rushed by linebackers as much as 75 pounds bulkier.
"The guy I'm blocking ain't going to make the tackle," Sproles said, sprightly. "When you're blocking, it's more technique (than size). During the week, and stuff like that, you have to study a lot. You've got to know the moves they like to do in the pass rush. Are they more bull rush or swim move or something like that? You've already got in your mind what they'd like to do."
Knowledge is power, quoth Francis Bacon, at least up to a point.
"Blocking is not an issue," Tomlinson said. "Mostly that stuff is incorporated. We get our big guys on (their) big guys, which means offensive linemen are going to block the defensive linemen. We (running backs) handle the backs and safeties."
Another approach might be for the Chargers to deploy both Tomlinson and Sproles on the flanks while keeping a fullback or tight end in the backfield to block.
"I think the thought of it is exciting," Rivers said. "It's something that's fun to talk about. There might be a time this year we steal a first down that way. Who knows?
"It's not something that we'll major in, but if we steal one first down it would be worth it. Maybe you have other teams working on that as opposed to what we're going to do 95 percent of the time."
Maybe Turner is just waiting for the right moment. As they say, 2-H his own.

Rule 67. Amendments to Conform to Issues Tried Without Objection (1990)
When issues not raised by the pleadings are tried by express or implied consent of the parties, they shall be treated in all respects as if they had been raised in the pleadings. In such case such amendment of the pleadings as may be necessary to cause them to conform to the evidence and to raise these issues may be made by leave of court upon motion of any party at any time up to the submission of the case to the Court or jury, but failure so to amend shall not affect the result of the trial of these issues; provided that written pleadings, before the time of submission, shall be necessary to the submission of questions, as is provided in Rules 277 and 279.
Amended by order of April 24, 1990, eff. Sept. 1, 1990.
|Prior Amendments
|Future Amendments
|Oct. 29, 1940, eff. Sept. 1, 1941
|March 31, 1941, eff. Sept. 1, 1941
(No. 27-a) Question: When a justice court case is appealed to the county court and the pleadings are reduced to writing under Rule 525, do the oral pleadings in the justice court go out of the case to the extent that they cannot be shown?
Answer: In the sense that the oral pleadings go out of the case for the purpose of trial and relief in the county court, we consider that the situation is one like that of amendment: The new pleading takes the place of the old and the old is no longer a part of the case. However, it may become important to show what the old pleadings were in connection with contentions under the statutes of limitation and with contentions that a new cause of action has been set up for the first time in the county court.
It should be added that while, therefore, the written pleadings in the county court are the pleadings upon which the case is tried, if the trial is upon certain proof that is variant from or has no support in the written pleadings, but no objection or the like is made to the variance or departure, Rule 67 applies and it will be as though there had been sufficient pleading. In this connection see also Rule 66 as to ready amendment if objection is made. Doubtless in a case of appeal from justice to county court the rules above cited would not go to the extent of allowing a new cause of action to be set up in the county court or recovered on in the county court; but with this qualification there should be little difficulty about variance or departure. And, of course, by the time of a special issue submission all pleadings relied upon in the submission would have to be in writing, under Rules 67, 277, and 279, unless the defect should be waived under Rule 274.
5 Tex. B.J. 287 (1942) reprinted in 8 Tex. B.J. 19 (1945).
(No. 88) Question: Rule 67 reads "When issues not raised by the pleadings are tried by the express or implied consent of the parties, they shall be treated in all respects as if they had been raised in the pleadings ... provided that written pleadings, before the time of submission, shall be necessary to the submission of special issues, as is provided in Rules 277 and 279." Does this rule mean that it is necessarily reversible error to submit special issues when they have not been raised by the written pleadings as provided in the above rule and in Rules 277 and 279?
Answer: No. Rule 274 was amended at a later date than the date upon which the above requirements were promulgated. This later amendment reads "Any complaint as to an instruction, issue, definition or explanatory instruction on account of any defect, omission, or fault, in pleading, shall be deemed waived unless specifically included in the objections." This amendment is contained, it will be recalled, within a rule, which, regulates objections to the charge of the court. So that the opinion of the subcommittee is that issues, submitted, without written pleadings to support them will not be erroneous upon that ground unless objection upon, that ground is made.
6 Tex. B.J. 77 (1943) reprinted in 8 Tex. B.J. 33 (1945).
(No. 89) Question: Where legal conclusions are used in a pleading, what do the rules contemplate as the proper treatment of them?
Answer: By Rules 45 and 69 the court omits, the requirement that allegations be of "facts" that had been contained in the parent statutes. In the first of these rules the court adds "that an allegation be … of legal conclusion shall not be ground for objection when fair notice to the opponent is given by the allegations as a whole."
In our opinion, therefore, allegations of conclusions of law should be treated as good pleading unless fair notice is not given by them and should even then be considered as sufficient unless objection on that ground is made to them. See Rules 67, 90 and 274.
6 Tex. B.J. 77 (1943) reprinted in 8 Tex. B.J. 33 (1945).
(No. 116) Question: In Bednarz v. State, 142 Tex. 138, 176 S.W. 2d 562 (1943), the judgment of the trial court which was largely in favor of defendant was affirmed, notwithstanding that the defendant filed no answer whatever, and the judgment of the Court of Civil Appeals, State v. Bednarz, 174 S.W.2d 743 (Tex. Civ. App.-San Antonio 1943), which reached a contrary result, was accordingly reversed. Does the decision of the Supreme Court make a written answer immaterial?
Answer: No. In any case where such an omission occurs, the plaintiff, if he so desires, may o n default day or thereafter until the time o f trial, claim and have a judgment by default, or he may call upon the court by proper procedure to require an answer to be filed and in this way avail himself of the acknowledged virtues of written pleading in preventing surprise and delineating issues. Rules 90, 91, 268, 274 and see Rule 66.
But if, as in the instant case and in many cases where the fact issues are not complicated, the plaintiff takes no such step but is content to try the matter without an answer, he may do so, and in that event he has no ground to complain. See Rule 67, which sources in Federal Rule 15 (b). That this principle in Texas long antedated the Federal Rules is shown by numerous decisions cited in the opinion in this Bednarz case.
It is contrary to the policy of this subcommittee to express opinions upon pending litigation. The case at hand is not in that class, however, as motion for rehearing has been overruled.

How to Apply for Academic Year 2016-2017
The Three Step Application Process
File your 2016-2017 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at www.fafsa.ed.gov. School Code 002014 must be included or added to an existing FAFSA for LSUHSC-NO to receive the results.
Federal legislation discontinued the Federal Family Educational Loan (FFEL) program, which was based on lending through banks and other lenders. All Federal Stafford and PLUS borrowers and schools must utilize the Federal Direct Loan program beginning with the 2010-11 academic year.
Please complete your Master Promissory Note (MPN) at https://studentloans.gov/myDirectLoan/index.action. Select "LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY HEALTH SCIENCES CENTER – NEW ORLEANS" from the school selection pull-down. DO NOT select "LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY HEALTH SCIENCES CENTER – SCH. OF DENTISTRY" even if you are a student at the School of Dentistry.
Students who borrowed Federal Direct Subsidized/Unsubsidized loans at LSUHSC-NO in any of the six preceding academic years (10-11, 11-12, 12-13, 13-14, 14-15, 15-16) do not need to complete a new online master promissory note or the counseling session discussed below. Many borrowers will obtain sufficient funding through the Federal Direct Subsidized/Unsubsidized program. Some may need to seek additional funding through the Graduate PLUS, Undergraduate PLUS (for parents of dependent undergraduates), or private alternative loans.
Complete the Federal Direct Loan online entrance counseling session at https://studentloans.gov/myDirectLoan/index.action.
A Detailed Description of the Application Process
STEP 1 ► Free Application for Federal Student Aid
Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Students must complete a FAFSA for each academic year they seek aid. The Department of Education and the Financial Aid Office highly recommend filing the FAFSA on the web at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
File the FAFSA early to facilitate prompt processing of aid for the Fall semester.
Study all directions and complete all FAFSA worksheets. Many items are not self-evident.
List the LSUHSC New Orleans Federal School Code, 002014, in Step Six of the FAFSA.
Undergraduates (Associate/Bachelors degree seekers) must follow the FAFSA to determine if parent data is required. Students in LSUHSC Masters and Doctoral programs are graduate/professional level and do not have to include parent data on the FAFSA to qualify for U.S. Department of Education federal aid.
However, applicants for Health Professions Loan (DDS) must include parent data.
Using the IRS Tax Data Transfer service when filing your FAFSA electronically will simplify filing, avoid data entry errors, and could reduce documentation required if your application is selected for Verification. This service is available for most federal tax filers two to three weeks after they electronically file their federal tax returns.
Feel free to bring your FAFSA in for review with your financial aid counselor, but submit your electronic or paper form to the federal processing center.
Student Aid Report - The Student Aid Report (SAR) lists the results of the FAFSA filing. Contact the financial aid office immediately if:
There are errors in your report
Your SAR includes the letter "C" next to the EFC figure, or
LSUHSC-NO is not identified as a data recipient.
Verification - If the SAR indicates an aid applicant is selected for verification, the application file will not be complete for processing until the financial aid office receives a completed Verification Worksheet and all required Federal Income Tax Transcripts and other verification documentation required by the student financial aid office. Select the required Worksheet at the links below based on notification you will receive from the Student Financial Aid Office:
V1 Dependent Worksheet V1 Independent Worksheet
V4 Dependent Worksheet V4 Independent Worksheet
V5 Dependent Worksheet V5 Independent Worksheet
V6 Dependent Worksheet V6 Independent Worksheet
Step 2 ► The Federal Direct Subsidized/Unsubsidized Loan Master Promissory Note (MPN)
The Federal Direct Subsidized/Unsubsidized Loan Master Promissory Note (MPN) covers multiple academic years. Note: minimum level enrollment for Subsidized/Unsubsidized is five credits graduate, six credits undergraduate, in a regular semester.
Step 3 ► Federal Entrance Counseling
Complete the Federal Entrance Counseling at https://studentloans.gov/myDirectLoan/index.action.

L@@K out now: flying cliches everywhere!
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Jack of All Trades. Master of None. To do two things at once is to do neither. If at first you don't succeed, sit the H down.
I did not sit down.

Would that I would've listened to you, Miss Carlene! After the last go-round with the Wombat colored Australian dye from Landscape Elements, I thought I'd like a little deeper cooler look to this. We were initially coping with up a red-dye migration glitch that was covered pretty darn well with the first over-dye attempt.
So I mixed up a batch of Warm Black Procion and dunked again. The result?
It's a little darker. A little cooler. But it is still green. Betcha never thought you'd hear me utter that I was flinching from the verde. Indeed! This is a lovely olive that is growing on me by the minute, but I was hoping to tame and master the microfiber in this yarn and it was a no go. Lesson learned: don't mix unlike colors/fibers in boiling hot sudsy water, or Pay the Piper.
Margene writes: "I'm listening to a radio broadcast (while working and reading blogs);-D and the author puts forth the premise that multi-tasking dumbs us down, makes trouble and causes dangerous things to happen. You proved him right!"
Indeed, the multi-tasker in me is tamed instead. Somethings just need to be given one's full attention while doing. The result if one spreads oneself too thin? Here's the Atlantic magazine article that made me cry…
Speaking of tears, I've gone back to my original Movable Type installation. The template set-up of MT4.1 is just beyond my time frame right now. Looks like a good thing to attempt in the middle of winter during some long long afternoons…
I am going to follow Robert Green's advice and build a proxy blog to test out all the Style Sheets before going live. Why the drama? With over 1234 entries (going back as far as April 2004) to preserve, it is beyond my skillset to just migrate it. This new version does not recognize the archival structure of the previous versions, so they must be re-mapped. I was overjoyed with the fact that I finally figured out how to set up a server side MSQL database! My poor ole Berkeley DB is hinky-dink. There is some minor corruption in there that doesn't quite crash the party but scares me silly with its lurking about.
Maybe I'll just hook up with WordPress instead ;p
Didge agrees we should just walk on by…

Pursuant to Telephonic Notice given all members of the Board of Directors via Melissa at Lebanon School's office, the Monthly Meeting convened. The agenda was somewhat informal given the pending start of school and the need for several members to leave early this evening and thus the early start for the meeting.
Meeting was called to Order by President Hughes. Those attending were President Hughes, Terry McCain, Tom Garoffolo, Monte Bowman, John Wallace, Carl Corson, and Dave Truitt
President Jack Hughes opened the discussion for the evening. His previous E-Mail had advised the Board that this would be his last meeting. Jack, unfortunately, has resigned his position with the Lebanon school system, and will be accepting a teaching position in Richmond, Indiana. Jack's written resignation was then presented to the Board.
Jack asked that the Network keep close contact with the schools. He further reported that 23 machines are up and running on the "net" at LHS. He and Terry had coordinated these efforts. Monte mentioned the incredible "ripple effect" of their combined efforts. Training sessions for the teachers need to be arranged - perhaps a session for those unfamiliar with the net and others with a lesson plan of sorts. The Middle School Instructors could be brought to the High School for some of their training.
Jack brought the Board up to date on some conversations with Mark Whitman regarding funding and basically getting Community Nets out from under their T-1 obligations. (The cost factor). Jack suggested that the machines that are up and running be used quickly and a lot. Show the benefits to the community and to the School Board to help show what the benefits are and perhaps the Schools would help with the cost - maybe split the cost.
Terry indicated that Intelenet basically decided how things would work at the library in Lebanon. A "tail circuit" was derived from BCCN's T-1 line without the knowledge of the Board. Terry just uncovered this development at the end of last week and advised the board this evening. Dave was concerned since this is a private account which BCCN is primarily liable for and in essence the library is getting a benefit of sorts with this "tail circuit". IF BCCN does not pay the bill then not only does BCCN go down, so does the Lebanon Library. Interesting "web" we weave through AI / Intelenet.
Monte asked about the possbile funding from Acess Indiana. John said his previous hopes had been somewhat dashed and that funding is not going to be there. Monte expanded and asked the question of what would the schools have to do to gain access to the net if BCCN folded? Everything that BCCN has done the past three years and more at a cost of some $ 50,000.00 +. This could be a way to approach the Schools and perhaps split the cost or at least lessen the same on the T-1.
ITEM I: IRS Paperwork: Dave reported that the Corporations Division of the State of Indiana had returned our application for Amendment of Articles. The reason stated was of the Form that had been used was not the correct item. Dave did not have a Not-For-Profit Form and had used a For-Profit Form with what he thought were appropriate markings and x's. The office requested the same information be substituted to the new form and resubmitted. A second reason was the lack of a current report on file for BCCN. This must have crossed in the mail since Jack brought in a separate report form that John can now sign and send on to the Secretary of State. Once we have the corrected Articles we can send on to the Internal Revenue Service to bring the tax - exempt application out of suspense for completion and final ruling. Dave also explained the need to change the resident agent on the annual report for the Secretary of State since Jack's name appears on that as well. Since the new Technology Director for the Lebanon Schools has not been named yet we either have to wait and fill in that person's name or provide another for the purpose of process serving by State law. Dave and Jack discussed the need to change the resident agent to someone at the school's office. Jack will alert the schools office to direct anything that comes in to John at the REMC.
ITEM II: ICNA Report. Monte asked for a synopsis of what was going on w/ ICNA at the State level and the Executive Director's position. John Wallace reported that Mark Whitman will actually be working with Access Indiana for the next two (2) years. ICNA will be a loosely organized group who will attempt to do some lobbying and have some annual meetings.
ITEM III: System Administrator's Report: Terry reported there were 274 hits to our home page in the first 10 days after the article about BCCN ran in the Metro North Edition of The Indianapolis Star. Roughly 750 hits occurred in July. The mass mailing that John did brought some results - not as much as John would have liked. Terry indicated that some organizations were taking the items in the mailing through their governing boards for additional action (i.e. buy a page - get a page concept discussed earlier this summer).
Boone County ARC has transferred their web space to the Boone County Step Ahead Council and the Step Ahead Council now has a page on the web. The Lebanon Library got good coverage in last night's Reporter. They got a lot of hits after the address was made public. John suggested it may be time to run some newspaper advertising since just about every other method has now been attempted. John thought personal contacts might be a good source as well. Carl Corson suggested ads with lists of organizations that are supportive of the BCCN. John thought perhaps that the Community Foundation was close to coming on Board.
ITEM IV: Membership Deadlines: Monte would like some direction on those who wish to join the organization as to where their fees are applied (i.e. - draw a line in time). Monte suggests that for those paying after October 1, the balance of that year and the next year should be included in their membership. In essence they get three (3) months free. Monte moved this in the form of a motion, and Tom Seconded. The motion carried by unanimous voice vote.
ITEM V: Board Member Home Pages: Tom Garoffolo suggested that since we have a lot of extra space on the server that it might be a good board "Perk" to allow each board member to have a Home Page. Of course such a page should comply with the acceptable use policy and overall guidelines prescribed by the Board. Quite a bit of conversation ensued and Monte moved that this idea be given some considerable thought before next meeting. Terry really needs to be present to help us on the technical aspect of the space use. (Terry had been required to leave early to attend a meeting of the technical committee for the Lebanon Schools at this point of the discussion). After second thought Monte withdrew his motion for consideration at the next meeting.
Meeting adjourned at 6:55 p.m. upon motion being duly made and seconded.

I've read the entire transcript from Lance's SCA deposition, so when I heard the man claim not to have had any ownership interest in Tailwind Sports, I choked on my Cheerios. Thankfully, there was Joe Lindsey to write the response that I wish I could have.
If you haven't read it already, I highly recommend it. Excerpts follow:
"...So if Armstrong really was granted Tailwind stock in December of 2007, just as the company's most profitable era was at a close and its days as a corporate entity altogether were numbered, then on an investment level that's about like taking a long stake in BP on April 21. That would be an uncharacteristic lapse for Armstrong, who once bragged of his own financial savvy that he gave Stapleton investment advice..." and
"...Armstrong has sometimes been accused of using his work with his cancer foundation as a shield against criticism. That is a charge I've never made. But I've also never heard him invoke that substantive and important legacy in such a bold fashion as he did today. And he seems to be willfully unaware that this is a federal criminal investigation; his interest in participating is immaterial.
Armstrong's work on behalf of fighting cancer isn't the issue here. The issue is whether or not Floyd Landis is telling the truth and, if he is, whether Lance Armstrong knowingly used Postal Service money to dope to win the Tour de France and enrich himself, thus defrauding the federal government.
I don't know what's up with Lance Armstrong these days, on the bike or off. But I wonder if he doesn't wake up some days and wish he'd just stayed retired."
An enormous volume of information is growing ever-larger by the day. Maybe it's time to review the Lance Armstrong Doping History?
I'm sure you've all already seen Lance's attorney's attempt to explain away the inconsistencies. Does it seem to anyone else like a replay of the set-up for the backdated Cortisone TUE? I couldn't have said it better than the VeloNews.com reader who left this comment regarding the discovery of the murky and unclear ownership structure:
"It keeps their options open. If no inquiries ever happen, then Armstrong (of course) was an owner soon after he won the 1st Tour. If anyone ever questions anything, then (of course) Armstrong can produce paperwork that shows he ownership position was "undefinable". I'm sure the legal team is working overtime right now."
PS. H/T to Business Insider for their suggestion of a new question to pose to Lance Armstrong, and other suspected dopers:
"Given the details in Landis' latest account, the question that should be put to Armstrong is 'Have you ever had blood removed and stored and then transfused back into your body during the Tour de France?'"

I'm not accustomed to having stowaways on my morning paddles.
Really there's no room for travelers on an Alden Star, a 21-foot rowing scull not much wider than my butt. But then my passenger was no bigger than a fly and I wouldn't have noticed him if he hadn't been so inquisitive.
The bay was a steel salmon hue, with the sun's glow silhouetting the Barrington shore. Conditions couldn't have been better. It was calm with a light whisper out of the north. And it was cooler than usual, the temperature in the 50s.
I barely left a wake. The swirls of each stroke stretched behind me like parallel fading footsteps.
I found myself thinking of the day ahead and what I hoped to accomplish. But then a tiny creature interrupted my train of thought. I imaged the world from its perspective. Here was a flat environment – the long transom of the boat – devoid of vegetation or other forms of life, as far as I could tell. On both sides the water rushed by and, in front of him, was this giant form rhythmically moving back and forth and puffing like a steam engine.
Of course, it's doubtful that my passenger was aware of its precarious situation or that he had the attention of another living being.
But he had my interest. For starters, he was pink. I haven't seen many pink spiders. This one had a bulbous body with stick-like legs that had him stepping high. He moved deliberatively from the stern of the boat, heading straight for my feet, held securely by Velcro straps. Could the ripe smell of my water shoes have attracted him? He marched forward as if on a mission.
I thought of my options. I could stop rowing and brush him off. I could let him keep coming and wonder if after exploring the water shoes he would proceed and walk up my leg. Or, as I decided, I could continue watching.
As if he understood – maybe it was a whiff of the shoes – he diverted his course and angled off to the narrow aluminum bar that secures the outrigger for the oars. This was a daring move, over open water that ended at the oarlock. The oarlock is hardly a secure place either. It's the point where my energy was focused before transferring to the blades to propel me forward. He would be squished in an instant if he weren't careful.
The spider didn't stop coming, even though I turned and now was headed home. I was rowing with the gentle wind; the sun had risen and it was warmer.
My little friend apparently understood the enormity of the situation. He stopped about four inches from the oarlock, as if trying to decide whether to retreat. Then from his abdomen, a silk hair glistened in the sunlight. The gossamer thread waved in the wind, growing ever longer. The spider was airborne. He bridged the oarlocks and was now on the shaft of the outrigger, headed to the middle of the boat. And then he disappeared.
There was no creepy feeling of something crawling up my arm and when I lifted the boat from the water, he wasn't seen. Maybe he was back on land.
He wasn't seen the following morning. It was an equally calm day with a sliver of a new moon in the heavens. Again, I had company and it wasn't the kind of companion I cared for.
Its dark form hovered, waiting for the perfect moment. It was a big mosquito. I applied pressure to the oars, thinking I could outrace him. He dipped and bobbed in the turbulence but wasn't dissuaded. He was inches from my face. Swatting him would mean taking my hand off an oar, not advisable in a tipsy craft.
Then it was gone. I checked my bare legs. No mosquito. He wasn't perched on my arms either.
At first I thought I was seeing a piece of lint, but then realized the mosquito was getting a ride on the bill of my cap. Maybe my nose was his target. I didn't want to find out. I tried directing a stream of air upward but he didn't budge. He was waiting for his moment.
Where, I thought, was my spider when I needed him?

Ok so I am stuck in a dilemma. I would like to know what my options are. I will probably have a 3.4 gpa and right at a 159 to 160 lsat. Plan on applying to oklahoma university, tulsa, okc law, texas tech, and probably one more school. I know my numbers are better than the 50th percentile at all the schools im going to apply to, except OU, which i'm right at the 50th percentile. But, I will probably get significant scholarships to tulsa and okc law (possibly full ride at okc), and texas tech. but not to OU. What should I do assuming im accepted to all of these schools.

Whatever you do, don't go into significant debt for any of those schools. But keep in mind that many scholarship offers are intended to be revoked. They set GPA conditions that 2/3 of the scholarship offerees won't meet.

Tulsa may offer you a full scholarship I had slightly lower numbers and was offered nearly full tuition, but as Nealric said many of these scholarship offers are revoked after the first year for GPA requirements. Tulsa required you to maintain a 3.0 GPA, which is a GPA that anyone getting a scholarship to an ABA school got with minimal effort. However, law school is a whole different game everybody at an ABA school is smart, hard working, etc and at most schools only 35% of the class can have a 3.0 at the end of first year, which creates a 65% chance of losing your scholarship.
In regards to the schools I don't think any are impressive outside of Oklahoma or Texas. If you want to be in Oklahoma I would pay full price there, because Oklahoma probably does quite well in Oklahoma it is the best school in the state. If your not sure were you want to end up Tulsa on a full ride might be the best option although there is a strong chance you will only get the first year free. I visited Tulsa law school and was quite impressed with the facilities etc, but the town wasn't for me.

Well the full ride at OCU law mandates that you stay in the top one third of the class. I know this is probably a common attitude but it can't be that hard to stay in the top third of the class assuming I will be in an entering class in which the average person only received a 3.1 ugpa. That does reveal a little bit about a person's effort in undergrad. Not saying that's a bad GPA but you know what I mean. Also, my soon to be wife has a good job in OKC. I don't want her to have to quit that job because she is making pretty good money, and if I went to Tulsa I we would have to move. She could keep her job if I decided on OCU or OU. In weighing Tulsa vs OCU, If I got a full ride to Tulsa I would surely get a full ride to OCU. Considering Tulsa's average ugpa and lsat is higher, would it be inaccurate to say that it would be harder to remain in the top 3rd of the class at Tulsa than at OCU? If so, and if both offer a full ride, it would be thoroughly retarded to attend Tulsa as it would be easier to lose the scholarship there. This leaves me with OU or OCU. Just have to decide if I want to be 80,000 bucks in debt with a JD from a decent school, or possibly no debt from a school with a poor reputation.

What you just said is how law schools get you. Finishing in the top 1/3 of the class difficult and 66% of first year student's don't. What happened in undergrad is completely irrelevant and it is possible someone got a 3.1 in molecular biology, which would be a lot different than a 3.1 in religious studies. They may have gotten a 3.1 from a very difficult school and someone else might have received a 3.1 from a school that hands A's out. Even if none of those are true law school is nothing like undergrad. You have one final for each class nothing else matters except for three hours and how you prepare for one test. I never had an undergrad class where it was just one final graded anonymously. That is what law school is and there is no way to predict how you well do based on LSAT/GPA. There were people in my first year that said they passed up Berkeley for the full scholarship convinced they would finish in the top 10% and neither kept their scholarship after the end of first year.
this article does a good of explaining it. I kept mine, but I knew there was a good chance I would lose it. Don't go in with an attitude of it can't be that hard to be in the top 1/3 of the class it is. 95-99% of people at any ABA school are smart, hard working, ambitious people convinced they will be in the top of their class. However, 90% of these people won't be in the top 10% 80% won't be in the top 20% so and so on. So be very, very, very cautious about the merit scholarship offers and be sure you would want to be at that school even if the scholarship was taken away.
The most important thing besides the scholarship is location. People get so caught up in the "rankings", but they are an absolute joke and make no sense. As you can read in that article schools are obsessed with satisfying a for-profit magazine that in 1987 decided to rank law schools with no real criteria. Everybody buys into it, but it makes no sense. Schools drop 30 spots any given year and since there formula makes no sense there are 11 way ties the current 11 way tie for 84th place is my favorite.
This chart does a decent job of showing how much a school can change in over two years.
You can see if you were a first year at University of Missouri in 2009 you were attending the 65th best school now you would be at a school that is no longer in the top 100.
If you were a first year at Villanova in 2009 you attended the 61st best school now it is in the 11 way tie for 84th place so it might be 84th or 95th since it is an 11 way tie not it is somewhere between that.
OU has consistently stayed in the 70's, but realistically nobody is that impressed by 70th best in anything. I really think if you don't go to a T14 school (ELITE SCHOOL) i.e. Harvard, Yale, Stanford. get out with as little debt as possible.
With that said University of Oklahoma offers in-state tuition and only costs 16,000 per year.
Tulsa is 28,000
OKC is 31,000 per year
To be realistic you will likely lose the scholarship at Tulsa or OKC the first year nothing against you, but as I said above the numbers are against you there is a 33% chance you will be in the top 1/3 of the class and a 66% chance you will lose the scholarship and then pay 56,000 in tuition or 62,000 for the final two years.
OKC you will pay 48,000 total. As a sidenote Tulsa has been jacking their tuition up like crazy when I was accepted it was 21,000 per year now it is 28,000 per year. All the private schools go up about two grand every year so even with the scholarship it won't remain a full scholarship, because private schools raise their tuition at an absurd rate. Oklahoma and other schools taht offer in-state tuition don't have price hikes that are as high.
With all that said Oklahoma seems to offer the best of everything, but if your soon to be wife has a great job in OKC then maybe you should stay there. In the end law school teaches you the same thing literally from Harvard to Cooley the first year curriculum is basically identical. Contracts, Torts, Civil Procedure, Criminal Law, Legal Writing.
Anyways, there are lot of factors to consider, but I just wanted to show some numbers and let you know about how the merit scholarships work.

The Office of the Insurance Consumer Advocate was created by the Florida Insurance Commissioner in 1990. In 1992, the Florida Legislature codified the position under Section 627.0613, Florida Statutes. The Insurance Consumer Advocate reports directly to the Chief Financial Officer, but is not otherwise under the authority of the Department of Financial Services or any employee of the department. The office generally represents the interest of the public and has the authority to intervene before the Division of Administrative Hearings, before the Department of Financial Services (DFS), the Office of Insurance Regulation (OIR) and before any forum in matters that arise under the jurisdiction of either DFS or OIR.
Specifically, activities of the Office of the Insurance Consumer Advocate include:

Intrusive parents
I bet they wouldn't like it if they had their personal data searched!
Three in five parents snoop on their teenager's email and calling habits, but teenagers themselves are almost as guilty of checking out the communications history of their partners. The survey was conducted by online store Retrevo, which reports that almost half of those under 25 admit to examining their partner's devices when …
There is a difference between state monitoring of someone's personal data and the actions of a parent who wishes to ensure that their child is safe!
Ok, I think it would be better to be done *with* the consent of the child rather than snooping behind their backs, but how many times have comments been posted in articles in El Reg saying that it's the job of the *parents* to take care of what their children do on the web and who they talk to via e-mail etc?
So why does this article seemingly portray sensible, responsible concerns of parents as a bad thing?
"So why does this article seemingly portray sensible, responsible concerns of parents as a bad thing?"
Well, I can come up with a couple of rather good reasons. You already mentioned the first - that whole "without consent," or perhaps more accurately, "without knowledge." The article also makes it clear that we're talking about teenage children (last two paragraphs). I would never go through my teenage child's belongings, including correspondence, without telling them so - it's only right and proper, they may be your kids, but they're humans, too.
Finally, the article never said at what point the parents stop. They mention people spying on their adult partners, and if someone is willing to do that, I don't see why they wouldn't spy on their adult teenage children. That's not only unethical, but depending on the circumstances, it's illegal.
In short, for the love of all that's holy, watch over your kids very closely when they are young, but realize that if you find it necessary (or even comforting) to read your 16 year old teenager's emails every night then either you or your child has VERY serious problems (all the more so if the "teenager" is 19). Relax that leash a bit as they get older, otherwise you are only doing them a disservice - and eventually, you are breaking the law.
I guess to answer your question in a sentence, I'd have to say that the "sensible, responsible concerns of parents" aren't a bad thing, but the way they are handled can be.
in IT circles, as "guilty of checking out the communications history of their partners." is allegedly best done whilst you can hear the sound of running water. On the other hand those wise partners who take their iDevice into the shower with them might be aware of this 'attack' and presumably have something to hide!
"Blissful ignorance" was all well and good 20 years ago, but not so now I'm afraid. The internet (and the world in general these days) is a dangerous place for children for all manner of reasons and it's the parents who are ignorant (or just don't care enough) who will end up suffering the consequences.
Not even ten years ago were children regularly and reliably able to communicate with each other outside of school or with other children further than half a mile down the road and, even then, not "privately". Communication isn't a bad thing, but it HAS to be monitored. The parents who don't monitor what their children are doing on their phones/ipods and on the internet are creating a huge problem for those parents who do actually give a toss. Questions I have to field from my 13 year old pretty regularly are "Why can't I have a phone? ALL my friends have phones", "Why do you have to monitor and restrict my internet usage? NONE of my friends are restricted". I appreciate this is most likely the exaggeration of 13 year old desperately trying to shake off the shackles and deeming the whole thing terribly unfair, but I reckon there's still some truth in what he says.
"In 2011, 37 per cent of parents admitted checking out their children's communications (for their own good, of course)", I sense a hint of saracasm and the implication here is that these parents aren't doing it for their children's own good? If that's what you're saying then you're an imbecile
Oh do tell how this is as a result of scaremongering and not what is visible with my own eyes and audible with my own ears? In case you hadn't noticed, this is a technology rag and there's a fair chance that those reading the articles are technically minded, might even work in the internet industry (as I do), so I have a pretty good grasp of what constitutes danger to my children without someone "scaring" me.
Although incidence of troubles are greatly reduced as commented above, that doesn't mean that there isn't a problem, and I think it's wise to at least be alert to those problems, and to do something about it where appropriate.
Or you could just stick you head in the sand and hope your child doesn't become another statistic (even though that is very very unlikely)
Oh yeah? You've seen all these horrible things with your own eyes, have you? Were you watching TV at the time?
If it's in the news it's exceptional enough to make it onto the news. Normal, everyday stuff doesn't get into the press. You don't need to worry about it.
Actually I think you'll find that the world in general (at least the developed world) is a vastly safer place for children (& everybody else) than it used to be. The fears have become big & scary but by almost any measure the actual incidence of incidents has declined. Smile, things are much better than you think.
Rev. Andy
The developed world is, according to most findings safer now than ever before, the reason you believe all this tripe is the intrusive media scremongering that goes on. The media needs to sell "copy" and there is no better audience than a captive, paranoid one for lapping up the drivel you are spouting.
How about you talk to your kids before you let them lose on the world. How about to teach them stranger danger but to a reasonable degree? Anyone of a certain age remember "Charlie Says" campaign? My parents warned me many times to be careful, stay in groups and ensure I pay attention and don't go anywhere too dangerous and don't go off with people you don't know. Simple and I managed to make it to adulthood. The media love scaring people, it makes great viewing and it ensures you come back for more shite to spew from the tube in the corner of the room.I'll offer some advice, turn off the TV and throw the papers in the recycling bin, they are both full of 100% A-grade bullshit designed to scare you into a) buying more media drivel and b) voting for the 'law and order guy' trying to get into power!
The world is not full of rapists, muderers and paedofiles, it's full of typical normal people happily getting drunk or ripping each other off financially!
I call BS!
I have my daughter's (13) email account login and she knows it. I also pretty much never look at it, though I don't tell her that. She's due to get a cellphone, but doesn't have one yet. It should make it easier for her to contact me when she needs to.
We used to walk home from school when I was a kid. Now I feel adventurous sending her to the supermarket a block away when she was 10. Why? Because so many parents are so paranoid that you come off as a bad parent for letting your child breathe.
I have lectured her repeatedly about not talking to strangers, screaming if she is grabbed, not taking anyone's "let's keep this as our secret" bullshit. I have told her that if _I_ came out with a "our secret", she should tell her mother. Just to get her to understand that adults can't do that. I have inquired from the police whether there was some kind of watered-down RPG-type training about avoiding abuse (no, there isn't, but a suitably done one would be great).
But I refuse to spy on her communications without good reasons. I have no moral right to invade her privacy unless she gives me cause. At which point I have the obligation to do so.
We are raising a generation of not-self-sufficient, scared, and it now seems, nosy kids. All because the media, and some parents want to pretend that "now is worse than it ever was". 50 yrs ago, would you have dared question the relationship of an authority figure with your child? Would the police have helped? Do you think no children got abused?
Home PC, console, cell phone, whatever. Computers that kids use should be out in the open and not in their rooms hidden away from view.
There are all sorts of weenies out there who troll for young children / teens and there are many horror stories out there.
Top Ten Tips for keeping your kids safe.
Not-so-tangentially, we have private companies sitting on overly detailed logs of our doings (gsm location data, for example) and governments and others a tad too overly eager to make good use of all that. Unless we redesign such systems such that they positively cannot track us or at least not in that fine-grained a manner (think a national pager message to make the phone listen for an incoming call instead of having it always be signed into the nearest tower) we have to acknowledge that past mistakes are now haunting us. And so we need technology to put a lid on some of the existing technology's more onerous side effects.
Perhaps encrypt all that data and make keys to it available only to those who have some right to it. Law enforcement with a signed warrant would be an obvious choice, though most of the time they don't have such warrants and consequently no right at all to the data. Tough cookies law enforcement, there's a reason why we put rules on powers like that.
Whoever holds and perhaps pays for the mobile contract would be another. Parents being guarantor and/or supervising parties to a contract involving a minor would be another logical choice. Were I a parent I'd probably be happy checking once a month that the facility still works so that I might use it at need rather than, oh, plot whereabouts on the family living room wall-to-wall TV set. That way, I don't need to plant GPS devices.
It makes no sense not to use facilities that are there anyway and moreover that you can hardly escape and third parties like the government are bound to use, too. It does make sense to make really clear how we-the-people want all that tech to be used. The government is there for us-the-people, not the other way around.
My iPhone has a pincode
My home server has a password
My home workstation has a password
My other half does NOT know them.
Yes there's a letter in the safe should it come down to "emergency circumstances" but the envelope is one of the "sealed - rip to open" type so its peek-proof.
My other half would be just as narked off with me peeking at his accounts as I would be if I caught him peeking at mine.
Jeez, I couldn't handle that level of paranoia with someone I supposedly want to spend the rest of my life with! That just sounds so sad, my condolences.
I know my Missus right down to her underwear size, I know what she hates the sound off, what she hates the taste off, what my kids do that could tick her off, her favourite colour, favourite band and song. We have separate online accounts for this and that but we both have password books and we both know where they are in case the other needs to get access for some reason. She could probably tell me more about myself than I know! 25 years of hard work and mainly trust. Yeah it could all one day just fall to pieces but you spend all your time worrying that might happen and it sounds like a very hard and desperately unhappy life ahead.
"Jeez, I couldn't handle that level of paranoia with someone I supposedly want to spend the rest of my life with!"
That's fine. On the other hand I'd rather go with paranoia than insecurity. There is no reason you would need to know everything about your partner (much less snoop into their personal communications), other than mistrust or to deny them a sense of individuality by taking away their privacy.
And by the way, "off" <> "of".
... I am my wife's IT manager. I know how to get into every account she holds (even if the password is changed, I know the process she uses, and could work it out fairly quickly). However, I would not do it - I just can't be arsed. She is a fully grown up person who is entitled to a life of her own.
My laptop is seriously locked down because it goes out of the house, with multiple layers of protection from boot-up all the way through to encrypted folders on encrypted drives. I doubt my wife would have the patience to try to get through that lot, even if she knew how to find the encrypted stuff, anyway. The home computer, though, has the passwords saved for anything she might need to know if I am incapacitated for any reason.
The kids, though - as far as I know, I can get into anything they have. So far I haven't needed to, but they are aware that they can be monitored if need be (a good life lesson - never assume you are safe from nosy bastards). I think this is merely an extension of my mum knowing where the porn magazines were stored, and who I fancied at school from random jottings on bits of paper in my bedroom!
How many of you seem to think that outright surveillance is part of being a good parent.
My parents seemed to do an ok job whilst simultaneously respecting privacy (admittedly myspace and facebook were still just fields a decade ago, but there were still email, mobiles and group chat via msn). It's not like any of these measures are impervious to a good old fashioned private meet-up or a natter on the playground anyway is it?
To be honest, I too occasionally look at my wifes messages, and she does the same with mine, but there is no secret going on there.
Also my daughters communications are 100% checked.
Every email she sends or receives is automatically CCed to my wifes and my email address.
But she knows about it.
Granted, my daughter is only nine, but I will keep it this way for at least another 5 or 6 years.
I do agree a teenager needs to have a little bit of privacy, but with the amount of junk flying around these days from xxx to penile enlargemetn offiers, And dubious propositions, I will drop this when my wife and I deem her mature enough to make a reasonably sensible decision.
It is my duty as a parent, to protect my children from harm.
As parents we are aware, that cant just keep them locked up, but at least when something comes in, that seems unsuitable, I can at least talk to her and find out whats going on.
And as long as she is aware, I don't see this as an invasion privacy.
A lot of our children are messed up, because parents don't care, don't have time, have something "more important" to do etc.
For crying outloud, they are our children and we have to care for them.
I don't agree with doing this in secrecy, but in an open and honest fashion, so that they understand that it is for their protection.
And once they get to the point of reasonable responsibility, we can start letting go bit by bit.
Of course they have to learn that the world is not just milk and honey, but lets not let them drop into the snakepit.
Yes the internet is more ubiquitous, and yes, there are social networks that now exist that don't. But I can't help thinking that the only thing that has changed is the means of communication. There is a wider audience I guess, but there were still message boards and all that crap. I can't help feeling that fear of something happening is far higher than the risk of anything happening, probably due to tabloid reporting.
It just seems to me that a bit of education about the risks of the internet would go a lot further than constant surveillance. People didn't tend to follow their kids round town to make sure they weren't talking to strangers, so i don't see why the same rules can't apply online.
"But things are a LOT different now to 10 years ago.
My parents did a good job on me too btw, which is why I want to do the same for my children."
You mean the way that the world is MUCH safer for our children than it was for us? I agree, the statistics, research and crime reporting makes that pretty clear - even with the "new dangers" of our age, our children are much more likely to reach adulthood without traumatic experience - or even just reach adulthood - than we were.
So obviously, we should panic over the threats that are left, and try to wrap them in bubble wrap until they are 18, upon which they will "be adults", have no real life experience to fall upon, and get themselves in trouble, maimed or killed by being thrown into the deep end to see if they can swim. Sounds like a plan to me!
</very bitter sarcasm>
Perceived risk is not the same as actual risk. Adolescence exists in no small part to teach our children to be adults, and to take more and more responsibility. We have to stop hovering over our children - our TEENAGE children - all the time if we don't want them to have trouble later on.
"Also my daughters communications are 100% checked.
Every email she sends or receives is automatically CCed to my wifes and my email address.
But she knows about it.
Granted, my daughter is only nine, but I will keep it this way for at least another 5 or 6 years."
You, Sir, are a perfect example of what I would like to hold up as the ideal. No secrets, and an intention to back off when she is old enough and "[has gotten] to the point of reasonable responsibility."
Thank you for sharing.
you clearly didn't read that his daughter is 9 yrs old and is unlikely to know how to do this (if she does then she's got a bright future in IT).
As others have commented when my kids are old enough to work out how to get their own email then they're likely old enough to be given more responsibility. It's like when we were kids and I told my mother I was sleeping at jon's and jon told his he was sleeping at mine and we went to the party instead - all part of growing up is "beating the system" of mum and dad's rules.
Until last year my budgie's cage was in a direct line between my laptop and the wifi point. All he had to do was evolve a receiver then do the decryption in his head :D
On a slightly (only slightly) more serious note - he has spent his entire life living within two metres of a WAP and at coming up to eight is still very healthy and very happy. If a budgie can live on into old age while being bombarded with HF EM then it's no threat to me :)
....and getting around that kinda thing is one of the signs that she's wanting to take a little bit more responsibility as long as she knows what she's getting into.
Don't forget...were talking CHILDREN...if they were ready for full responsibility for their actions then they'd be ADULTS, whatever age they are.
I can't see a problem with getting her email cc'd as long as the parents also take the time to educate her on why they are doing it, when she eventually opens her gmail account that'll be her first tenative steps into giving her a chance to make her own mistakes....in some places they call this growing up.
IMO that's the whole issue wrt teenagers who snoop on each other; a classic lack of trust. Of course trust needs to be earned, but spying on one other is IMO the first sign that there's only distrust, which in itself is also a very bad motivator for a serious relation.
...I was at a pub quiz recently, & one of the questions was "What does the abbreviation POS mean, in teenage internet chatrooms ?" - and no-one in the room knew, myself included.
So for everyone's enlightenment & future knowledge... "Parent Over Shoulder"
(Just don't let the *little darlings* know that you know)
Go on, check the call history and such on my 'phone.
Do you *really* think I'd be dumb enough to use something I habitually leave lying around the house for anything that might get me into hot water?
This is "Facebook disease". You don't *have* to lower your intelligence to Facebook level and have your entire life in one sodding place....
We have been through this with her (as have the school, involving a talk from the local constabulary and a psychologist). We explained she had to have either mum or dad as a friend on facebook. Her choice which, and that we had no real interest reading all the chatter with her friends, but its there as a "just in case". To the guy who cc's his daughters email, all I can say mine has at least 3 email accounts that I am aware of (one on my server, her school email and a hotmail account). She switches between them depending on what machine she is using.
There is a difference between "monitoring" email and internet usage and spying on it. In the same way that as a parent you can keep an eye on your child's behaviour without filing it all on cctv.
Myself and a few others in my circle used to use the slightly more generic "CTF" for this purpose, standing for "Can't Talk Freely." As far as I can recall we came up with it ourselves rather than adopting existing vernacular, but apparently the idea wasn't unique.
I don't plan on having kids myself, but I wonder if such measures might not be useful as a growing up tool...set up monitoring that's meant to be evaded eventually, and when they're motivated and skillful enough to do so, it may be a good sign they're ready for the results.
(I still remember reconnecting a dialup line at the phone box in the middle of the night once, to get around parental punishment so I could talk to my girlfriend....good times. Good learning experience too.)
Not to impugn your pub quiz but I've never really believed there's a secret underground code that children use in their ongoing conflict with the grown ups. It's all a bit Famous Five for me.
There's supposed to be a thing called the Rainbow Party where a number of teenage girls all perform oral sex on a teenage boy while wearing different coloured lipsticks. It was on Oprah or something a while back. It terrified parents that their children were doing this but I suspect such a thing has never happened outside of a teenage boy's mind.
I have three children, the oldest of whom is a teenager.
My role is to educate them as to sensible online (and of course offline) behaviour in the same way that I taught them to cross the road. I have NO right to spy on them, particularly without their knowledge. I absolutely disagree that parents have a responsibility to snoop on their children that betrays a complete lack of either trust or respect.
If I had found out that my parents had done something like this (I suppose the equivalent in my generation would have been reading letters and diaries) I don't think I ever would have forgiven them. Beware, if you don't trust your children, they will amply repay that lack of trust.
I do agree with you that there shouldn't be spying on the children.
And as you used this term, I would like to emphasize, that spying does mean that it is doen secretly.
My daughter (9) knows, understands and is actually quite happy with it.
As I have been working for nearly 20 years in the IT industry amongst others, in the fields of system and network security, I would dare to say, that I am reasonably aware of the risks.
Fact is, that we as parents have an obligation to keep our children reasonably safe. Observing and assessing risks and educating them accordingly.
After all, you wouldn't let a three year old cross the road by him/herself.
He/She needs to be taught that cars can come from either side, and then for severla years they are taken by the hand.
Eventually they will learn and will get independent enough to go on their own.
You may say, that traffic is something completly differnt.....
Well it isn't.
Just because you can't be run over doesn't mean you can't get hurt.
Just to mention the term "Cyber-bullying"
In our home we talk about these issues and once she is old enough to require her "privacy" apart from in the bathroom, she will find a way around it, or (in our family very likely) she will just ask me and it can be looked into.
Until that time, I am going to do my level best to continue to observe and keep my kids safe.
