Once again proving he's the one government representative who gets this whole technology thing, Sen. Al Franken D-Minn., called out Facebook and Google during a speech for American Bar Association's Antitrust Section.?

Franken, who chairs new Senate subcommittee on Privacy, Technology, and the Law, was there Thursday to call for greater enforcement of antitrust laws for all-encompassing tech and media companies, including mobile and cable services, as well as online services. Such Web corporations, he said, is "where privacy becomes an antitrust issue."

Last year, when it was revealed that iPhones and iPads were mapping user locations in accessible files for up to a year, Franken, D-Minn., got down to business, firing off pointed questions in a two-page open letter to Apple CEO Steve Jobs. ?Franken also joined other senators urging Facebook to "reverse a plan that would allow app developers the ability to request access to users? addresses, phone numbers and other contact information."

In his ABA speech, Franken noted how the more that "average Americans depend on Google and Facebook daily, "the less incentive (the companies) have to respect your privacy," he said. Both of these "free" services make the bulk of their money via user profiles, allowing third parties to target ads using the extensive personal information stored there. "You are not their client, you are their product," he said.

Institutions that "protect our individual privacy rights from the government don?t apply to the private sector," Franken said. "The Fourth Amendment doesn?t apply to corporations. The Freedom of Information Act doesn?t apply to Silicon Valley. And you can?t impeach Google if it breaks its 'Don?t be evil' campaign pledge."

?Franken pointed to Google's new privacy policy, which now covers all of the search giant's many services:?

If you don?t want your search results shared with other Google sites -- if you don?t want some kind of super-profile being created for you based on everything you search, every site you surf, and every video you watch on YouTube -- you will have to find a search engine that?s comparable to Google. Not easy.

If you want a free email service that doesn?t use your words to target ads to you, you?ll have to figure out how to port years and years of Gmail messages somewhere else, which is about as easy as developing your own free email service.

Franken had equally sharp words for Facebook:

If you use Facebook -- as I do -- Facebook in all likelihood has a unique digital file of your face, one that can be as accurate as a fingerprint and that can be used to identify you in a photo of a large crowd.

You might not like that Facebook shares your political opinions with Politico, but are you really going to delete all the photos, all the posts, all the connections -- the presence you?ve spent years establishing on the world?s dominant social network? ?The more dominant these companies become over the sectors in which they operate, the less incentive they have to respect your privacy.

"It isn't time for alarm bells just yet," Franken said. But wouldn?t we feel a lot more comfortable about that if we knew that market forces would act to stop such an egregious abuse of our privacy? And shouldn?t we be concerned that, as these companies that trade in your personal information keep getting bigger and bigger, they become less and less accountable?"

Lovers of the written word, unite! ? Old Gold & Black

On Saturday, March 24, students, alumni, faculty and members of the community gathered in Benson University Center for a spectacular celebration of the art of writing. The event was the first ever Words Awake!, a conference dedicated entirely to writers and the written word.

While numerous novelists, journalists, screenwriters, poets and even hip-hop artists came to Wake Forest to join in on the celebration and tell their stories, they all had one aspect in common: each writer invited back to the conference to speak was once a student at Wake Forest.

?It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to have a group of such accomplished writers together in the same place who have the common thread of graduating from Wake Forest,? senior Hannah Kay Hunt said of the event.

The event kicked off on March 23 in the Porter B. Byrum Welcome Center with a documentary show by alum Tom Hayes (?79) on his father, Harold Hayes (?48), an influential editor of Esquire?magazine and another Wake Forest alumni.

Afterward, Provost Ed Wilson (?43) gave a speech on the history of writers from the university.

Earlier in the day, the writers visited 10 different schools in the Winston-Salem community to hold workshops, give readings and immerse local students in the world of writing as a career.

But the real conference didn?t start until March 24. Benson University Center was filled by 8:30 a.m. with people of all ages who were interested in writing and reading.

Alumni gathered in groups to talk and reminisce about days spent at Wake, curious students walked around, waiting for the panels to begin and young children accompanied their parents to hear a favorite author speak. The panels, which were given in groups of four throughout the day, ranged in topic from ?Writing for Children/the Young Adult Mind? and ?Writing Screenplay? to ?Writing Washington News? and ?Writing Sports.?

The panels focused on letting the writers explain their journey to and the experience of writing in the field that they were currently employed, and then the panel was opened up to questions from the audience. Interspersed between the panels were readings of new novels, poetry or other works given by published authors.

The largest issue addressed was, inevitably, the future of writing, especially in journalism, and if newspapers and magazines will be able to survive the ?digital age.? Some writers, such as Shane Harris (?98), were adamant that print and journalism as a whole was alive and well, and that the written word remained important. ?I have great hope for the written word,? Harris said. ?I don?t think print is dying, at all.?

Yet other panelists, such as Linda Brinson (?69), saw the future of print and journalism not in newspapers or even websites, but in iPad apps for quick news and magazines sent directly to the inbox of a subscriber.

Helen Anders (?74), who is currently a freelance humor columnist, said that an aspiring writer should ?Find a niche, something you are good at.? She predicted that journalism would soon become a specialists? game.

Another topic of debate, which especially came up in creative writing panels, was the issue of self-publishing, a subject which plagues writers of all ages, aspiring or not. Self-publication for many authors seems to be more of a viable choice in today?s world. Trice Hickman (MALS ?98), for example, made a career for herself through self-publishing and now has a contract with a major book publisher.

On the other hand, though, many authors insisted that the greatest help a writer could have was an editor who truly believed in them and could help their craft immensely.

Saturday concluded with a banquet, given in honor of the inductees to the brand new Writers Hall of Fame, which included Hayes, Wilson, Bynum Shaw, Maya Angelou and 11 others. The Hall of Fame is now on display outside of the writing center in Z. Smith Reynolds library.

The event ended on March 25 with a small meet-and-greet for writers and students; the students were given a chance to interact with and ask advice from the attending writers.

When asked what piece of advice a writer could give to a student looking to make a career of writing, each responded with something different.

?The best training for a job in journalism is to saddle up next to someone who will mentor you,? Harris said. ?If you find that person, they will teach you what you need to know.?

Jane Bianchi (?05), the current editor of Daily Health News, was adamant in her advice. ?Internships really matter more than anything.? She went on to say that the job experience and the networking opportunities given by an internship, even unpaid, could lead to a job further down the line which could define one?s career.

Some authors, though, were persistent that a dream and hard work could turn an aspiring author into a published one.

?Whether you want to be an author, a journalist or whatever, have a plan,? Trice Hickman said. ?Even if the plan doesn?t pan out, you?ll know where you want to go and different ways to get there.?

Industry report warned of North Sea gas leak risk

The Elgin drilling platform in the North Sea has been leaking natural gas since 25 March, and is still at risk of catching fire or even exploding.

Total, the company in charge of the platform, should have seen the problem coming. A report written by one of its drilling managers and published last year describes how difficult it is to pump gas from the deep Elgin field. It even explains exactly how drilling operations can damage the wells in ways that may have led to this week's leak.

Demand for natural gas has risen steadily over the last 30 years, and global gas production has more than doubled in that time. Gas producers like Total have turned to increasingly difficult reserves to meet those demands.

The Elgin field is one of those difficult reserves. At 5500 metres it is among the deepest active gas fields in the North Sea. Temperatures there reach 200 ?C and the gas is under 1100 bars of pressure. Last year's report explains that working with this kind of high-pressure/high-temperature (HP/HT) field is a particular challenge (Journal of Petroleum Technology, vol 63, p 116).

Once gas extraction begins, the pressure within any gas field will naturally begin to fall, but the drop is particularly acute in HP/HT reservoirs. This means that pressure at depth can vary dramatically and unpredictably once extraction begins, which makes it difficult to sink additional wells at a later date without damaging the expensive drilling equipment. To extract as much gas as possible, companies normally drill several wells into the reservoir before opening any of them. This ensures that they have backup wells, should some fail.

Wells failed

In fact, many of the wells in the Elgin field and the neighbouring Franklin field have failed since Total began extracting gas there in 2001, according to the report. The casings of some of the wells became badly deformed and their internal diameters shrank by 60 per cent, like damaged drinking straws. Others may have sheared off completely.

That damage was probably a direct result of gas extraction activities. The drop in pressure as gas was removed deformed the chalk layers above. Because the wells must pass through the chalk to reach the gas fields below, they too become deformed.

The damage to the well casings may explain this week's leak. We now know that its source is not the Elgin gas field itself, but rather a pocket of methane gas trapped within the chalk layers above. This methane somehow entered the casing of one well and travelled up to the Elgin platform.

The leaky well in question was actually closed over a year ago, and sealed at depth. But because Total continued to extract gas from the Elgin field, shearing forces within the chalk above may have cracked open the abandoned well-casing 4000 metres down ? 1500 metres above the main gas field ? allowing methane within the chalk to seep into the well and escape to the surface.

"Based upon the information we have available, I think it is highly probable this has happened," says Jon Gluyas of Durham University in the UK, who has 28 years of experience in the petroleum industry.

At the time of publication, Total had not responded to a request to comment on the relevance of last year's report to the current leak.

"Because of the demand for oil and gas, we will see this type of field exploited more often," Gluyas says. However, that does not necessarily mean we will see many more accidents along the lines of Elgin. Rather, the gas industry may improve its practices, for instance monitoring compaction in chalk layers more closely. "The industry will learn from this substantially," Gluyas says.

Is Individual bankruptcy The Right Move To suit your needs ...

Personal bankruptcy may well sound like a method to deal with mind-boggling debt, but it should only be looked at as a latter. When you file for bankruptcy you will destroy your credit for a minimum of a decade, be subjected towards the whims of the Clerk from the Court and confront additional hardships in your life from lack associated with credit.

There are two varieties of personal bankruptcy, Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. Chapter 7 is total liquidation personal bankruptcy, which wipes away all your debts completely. The Clerk from the Court has the ability to sell your assets and personal belongings to pay your debts. Your credit score will take a 300 point plunge if you file this page of bankruptcy and you will spend the next ten years trying to crystal clear your credit.

Chapter 13 bankruptcy is often a reorganization of your financial situation. This type of action is normally used if you have a home engaged. The Clerk from the Court will examine your financial situation and restructure your bills right into a court approved payment plan. However, if the court finds they need to sell your personal effects to pay debts, they will. The court also has the ability to force you directly into Chapter 7 a bankruptcy proceeding if they believe you don?t need to the financial capabilities in order to meet their repayment program. Louisiana Bankruptcy Laws

There are many other options available for debt relief that do not include a bankruptcy proceeding. Debt consolidation or even settlement programs often provide the assistance that is needed to regain financial handle. Sometimes something while simple as debt counseling can resolve personal financial issues. Maine Bankruptcy Laws

Following one of these alternative debt relief strategies could have less of a direct impact on your credit score. Utilizing one of these services will also allow you to rebuild your credit rating faster.

Personal bankruptcy should only be taken if there are no additional options available.

Having a lots of debt is in no way good, but having a bankruptcy on the credit record is really a lot worse.

Isabulle's favorites ? Using Computers It isn't Rocket Science

These days it can be strange to hear men and women say, ?I?m just not pc literate,? as computers have evolved from traditional scientific calculators to simple point-and-click type devices. We suspect in which today?s ?computer illiterates? are people who haven?t taken some time to experiment with such a equipment. And we strongly feel that spending just twenty minutes with one could turn the most adamant scientific caveman into any one those who have fun wreaking chatroom havoc on the Internet right now.

Today, one just needs to learn how to manipulate a mouse, strike a few buttons over a keyboard, or really just turn the one thing on to use a pc. It?s hard for some folks to believe, but the personal computers of this generation nearly run themselves! To keep things interesting, let?s investigate just how little knowledge these kind of thousand-dollar machines actually demand.

Can an absolute newbie operate a computer not understanding how to use a computer mouse button or keyboard? Let?s assume that a computer is set up to function on voice command ? sure! Speech command software permits users to tell a computer what to do and the pc responds by satisfying the user?s commands. Although it?s pretty brand-new and still under development, voice directed technology has already infiltrated client service related systems.

Think back to the last moment that you paid a bill over the phone. Rather than speaking to a human being, chances are that you spoke to some computer that not just responded to what you stated and followed the actual commands that you offered it, it also inquired you for more information for example your full name or perhaps credit card number. In cases like this, a person (such as yourself) operated a computer without knowing it!

Can an utter newbie sit down at the computer without knowing the way you use one? Assuming that a computer is set up to operate on touch command * the answer is again, yes! Touch command software program allows users to literally touch things on a monitor and also tell the computer how to handle a finger. Called ?kiosks,? these plans are already in use worldwide at ATM machines, job centers, and in wellness monitoring systems.

None a mouse nor a keyboard is needed. A computer user just needs to touch a variety of boxes on a monitor to control a computer. Certain, the programming behind such technology will be extensive and superior, but to the user, it makes computer make use of less intimidating and also plain easy.

Obviously when we talk about working a computer, we imagine more involvement compared to speaking on the phone or perhaps touching things over a screen. The above pictures were just a couple of instances of how far computer technology is continuing to grow, and how far we have now pushed ?user-friendliness? to its restrict. Eventually, the keyboard and also mouse will have to may play a role when computer newbies have to work with a single as a cash register, as being a hotel booking system, or as a library?s listing system.

These specifications don?t make personal computers any less simpler to operate, but they will not make them that much more difficult either. So much of today?s software is designed to allow for the experience of a new consumer that anyone may get connected to the Internet, send out an email message, and also download an MP3 file within the very first five hours of shopping for a personal PC.

Many of the top touch screen laptop may end up being uncovered here, although people can certainly in addition find rugged laptop not to mention notebook laptop if you pay a visit to many of our web site

Ultra Music Festival Takes Over Miami With Tiesto, Afrojack, Skrillex

Lil Jon joins Afrojack for his Friday-night Miami Music Week set.

MIAMI — Ultra Music Festival hit every note — delivering a spectacular splash into this weekend's EDM takeover of Miami's Bayfront Park. Massive crowds, including fans of all ages and from every part of the world, amassed to make for a remarkable opening show.

The main stage for Ultra's day one Friday included an all-star list of talent including Afrojack, Skrillex and Tiësto, who all delivered spectacular visual elements and new music and exploited Ultra's new tricks to take the crowd — and perhaps EDM in the United States — to new heights for 2012.

Future EDM hall-of-famer Tiësto closed the night with a thunderous roar from the crowd and a sensational fireworks show that smacked an exclamation mark on the opening day. He previewed a number of new tracks from his upcoming album, Club Life: Volume 2 -Miami, including his fired-up remix of Coldplay's "Paradise" and the still-unreleased "Chasing Summers" and fittingly closed his set with "Maximal Crazy," perfectly capturing the energy of the crowd.

Leading into his set was MTV's #1 EDM Artist of 2011, Skrillex, who maximized the potential of Ultra's main stage, specifically the giant LED screens that echoed the futuristic sounds of his set. Especially stunning were the images of animated dancing robots that matched every bass-crunching riff of Skrill's signature sound.

Afrojack brought along a new friend, experienced hype man Lil Jon, who jumped along the top of the DJ booth for most of the set and fired up the crowd, professing his love for EDM and Miami along the way. Afrojack also brought along some new music, but laced his set with a collection of his fan favorites, starting his show with "Bangduck" and integrating "Take Over Control" and "Pon de Floor."

The festival's eight stages brought many highlights, even from the smallest stages. The Bao Dome, which looked like half an exoskeleton of Disney World's Epcot Ball, jammed with Spencer & Hill, Swanky Tunes and many other talented artists.

At the Carl Cox & Friends tent, Richie Hawtin incited hundreds of party-goers who couldn't fit inside the tent to dance in groups along Biscayne Boulevard, which was closed to vehicles during the festival.

With lofty goals for Ultra in the wake of EDM's huge collective progress in 2011, organizers and artists appeared particularly inspired to blow away new fans and loyalists alike.

Student shot to death on Mississippi State campus

STARKVILLE, Miss. (AP) ? A student was shot to death at a Mississippi State University residence hall late Saturday night, prompting campus-wide alerts as authorities searched for suspects who fled the scene.

University spokeswoman Maridith Geuder said police received a call about the shooting at Evans Hall around 10 p.m. Saturday. The victim was taken to a hospital where he subsequently died.

Three male suspects fled the building in a blue Crown Victoria. As of early Sunday, no arrests had been made and the campus remained under emergency conditions.

Shortly after the shooting, the university began sending a series of text message alerts to students. Geuder said a team of university officials and police was meeting early Sunday. The team is automatically convened in emergencies under a school policy.

The four-story Evans Hall holds about 300 male students and is located on the north side of campus. The campus of about 20,000 students is located in a rural area in the northeastern part of the state, about 125 miles northeast of Jackson.

The school's website says the campus is located in a low-crime area, and that emergencies are rare.

QUINCY, ILL. -- Thirty-four positions and?thirty-two duties in the Quincy Public School District will be eliminated next school year.

The Quincy School Board officially voted Wednesday night to cut staff as part of a deficit reduction plan to trim $1 million from its budget.

Click here to see the entire list of cuts and the impact on the various schools.

"Anytime we have a reduction of staff it impacts students,?we want the very best for our students and the community and they deserve the very best," said Quincy Federation of Teachers president Valerie Bordenkircher.

Superintendent Lonny Lemon said, "This is not a good day for education. The emotional ties and the fact that we won't be able to provide the services to kids that we want to."

The largest swath of cuts came in the district?s classified and extra-curricular programs.

"Some of the kids that would be in art, a foreign language, a cut that may have been cut, that might be all that that student cares about and that is the hook that is keeping them involved in school," said?Bordenkircher.

Twenty-eight people were?cut in classified positions which include para-educators, librarians, cooks and custodians.

Twenty-nine staff members will be eliminated from extra-curricular positions. Most of the extra-curricular cuts come from clubs at Quincy Junior High School, department chairs and the elimination of Q Review.

Five certified employees, three certain extended contracts and one certified employee will also be cut

Assistant Superintendent Christie Dickens said staff members received informal notices about their future last Friday. Wednesday night's meeting made the cuts official.

"Let's hope that we've reached the very bottom of the valley. Hopefully the state can get their affairs in order," Lemon said. "The board has done a great job being fiscally responsible and hopefully we can get some help from the state."

District officials approve the hiring of a new business manager who will receive a $125,000 for three years with buyout provisions for two-thirds annual salary if terminated early.
