THOMASVILLE, Ga. - Georgia Southwestern (13-9) used the help of the long ball in the second game of the day to ensure the split with Thomas University (4-4) Wednesday afternoon.
Game 1: Thomas 2, GSW 1
Georgia Southwestern's offense struggled to get anything going as the Lady Hurricanes' bats were stymied throughout the first game of the afternoon.
GSW found themselves trailing, 1-0, after three scoreless innings when the Lady Hurricanes tied up contest off an RBI groundout by Avery Purser in the top of the fourth inning.
A solo home run from TU's Brittany Mayhill in the bottom of the fifth was all the Nighthawks needed to escape with a 2-1 victory as Southwestern couldn't find anymore offense the rest of the way.
Purser paced GSW (12-9) with two hits and one RBI on the game.
Starting Southwestern pitcher Ashley Cavender (3-4) had a good outing on the mound but was credited with the loss as the sophomore only allowed two runs off five hits while striking out five for the Lady Hurricanes.
Game 2: GSW 12, Thomas 6
In the second game, the bats finally came alive for the Lady Hurricanes as GSW pounded Thomas, 12-6.
GSW lit up the scoreboard first off a Nellie Moore two-run home run in the second inning to give the Lady 'Canes the early, 2-0, advantage.
Thomas regained the lead as the Night Hawks scored three runs in the bottom of the third inning but the advantage was short-lived as Southwestern quickly struck back.
GSW scored five runs in the top of the fourth inning off a passed ball, an RBI single by Mason Moreland, an error, an RBI single by Hayley Knight, and a wild pitch as the Lady 'Canes regained the lead, 7-3.
Elliot Martin and Jordan Miller joined Moore in the home run club as both knocked one out of the park in the seventh inning as Georgia Southwestern cruised to a 12-6 victory.
Martin, Miller, Moore and Hayley Knight combined for seven hits and six RBIs on the contest for Southwestern.
Erin Vick (3-3) was credited with the win for GSW as the sophomore threw for 3.2 innings giving up five runs off four hits while striking out three.
Pastor (1) was credited with the save as the junior came in and tossed 3.1 innings giving up one run off one hit.
With nine home runs on the season, GSW (13-9) has already surpassed last year's total (7) just 22 games into the season.
Miller finished the day with three hits, two RBIs and a home run for the Lady 'Canes.
Georgia Southwestern will be back in action Friday, Mar. 1, as Fort Valley State comes to Lady 'Cane Field for a doubleheader beginning at 2 p.m.

Media is a key part of any tablet, and while Surface puts its emphasis heavily on multitasking and productivity, it's still a media consumption device.
Microsoft has pulled a lot of its services together for Windows 8, including providing two apps which plug into the well-established Xbox Music and Xbox Video apps which are supplied as standard on Surface RT.
These offer movie purchases and rentals and the Music app even enables free streaming of 30 million tracks, with a Spotify-style subscription model.
If you want to know more about these in detail, then head over to the Windows 8 review, but it makes Surface an excellent media-focused device.
The 16:9 aspect ratio means TV and movies look great, and Microsoft has also called in favours with the likes of Netflix for great content from third parties, and we hope there will be more to follow.
In terms of the content on offer from Windows Store and the built-in Xbox Store it's clear that Microsoft is still very much in third place in the lead up to Christmas.
The selection of movies is incomplete, TV shows are too US focused and too expensive, games is a strong area for Windows but it's yet to take off and books are catered for almost soley by Kindle.
As a device for enjoying them, however, Surface works well. The kickstand means you can prop it up to enjoy movies or shows on iPlayer (which work from within the browser in the absence of a dedicated app).
There's also micro HDMI, which means that Surface can be connected to a TV or external display, and used in presentations much more easily than the iPad.
Of course, Surface has a trick up its sleeve that the iPad can only dream of. The ability to watch media files of all types and be able to load them via USB or MicroSD, rather than the annoying proprietary iTunes software, is a big coup for Surface.

With Spotify and Pandora (NYSE:P) leading the pack, music streaming subscription services have revolutionized the way people purchase and listen to music. These services have changed everything from the method of listening (Internet-connected computer or mobile device) to how people store music (catalog in the cloud), and it shows no signs of stopping. But are these music streaming subscription services really a sustainable business model for the companies who provide them, and how long will these services' rise to power last?
The benefits of streaming music services
Reasons run the gamut as to why music consumers are shifting from CDs and mp3s to music streaming services:
- Ease of access. No need for a Walkman or even a separate iPod when you can stream all the music you want directly from your phone or tablet, no matter where you are, as long as you have an Internet connection.
- Less (read: No) storage. No more boxes of CDs, no more external hard drives filled with music—it's all in the cloud.
- Breadth of catalog. Imagine how many CDs or mp3 players it would take to hold millions of songs. With music streaming, you have it all with an Internet connection and the touch of a button.
- Affordability. Millions of songs on CDs and mp3s would have been astronomical to buy, whereas with music streaming, all of it is available either for free (with ads) or for a relatively nominal monthly subscription fee (average $10/month).
Once you've decided to switch to music streaming, the next question is whether to purchase a monthly or annual subscription to one of these services. Most streaming subscriptions have a freemium option wherein you are essentially bombarded with ads, but you get to listen to the music for free. Some, however, have a listening limit and cut off after a certain amount of hours.
If regular intervals of advertisements is too much to handle, you can buy a subscription to the service, which generally removes ads almost entirely. With a subscription, you have unlimited access to the service's catalog with no listening limits, and other features often come along with it.
For example, when Lady Gaga released her album Born This Way, Spotify Premium subscribers had exclusive listening privileges for five days leading up to the release. Spotify Premium allows its subscribers to sync music from Spotify to their computers and listen offline. Also for Spotify Premium subscribers, access to a number of tracks at higher fidelity (320 kbps rather than 160 kbps) attracts those looking for a better sound, which can sometimes be compromised by poor streams.
Music streaming services continue to find new ways to sweeten the deal and attract more paying subscribers.
The big players
Pandora was one of the first big players in the music streaming industry, and earlier this year, it reported 200 million registered users, 70 million active users, and 2.5 million paid subscribers to its Pandora One service. Spotify, the next big player, launched in 2006, has over 24 million active users, and 6 million paying subscribers, making its subscription service more popular than Pandora's though it has nearly a third of the active user base.
When Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) launched its iTunes Radio, analysts predicted doom for Pandora and other subscription services. In reality, iTunes Radio has attracted casual, less valuable users and only took away 2 million subscribers from Pandora in October 2013, the month of its release. Other corporate hot shots like Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) (Xbox Music) and Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) (Google Play Music All Access) have also stepped up to bat in the past two years. Though it's been pushed back, Beats Music is also planning to release a subscription streaming service called "Daisy" in the coming months, backed by musical icon Trent Reznor.
YouTube to join the mix?
Google dipped its toe in the water with its Google Play Music All Access in June, but it's taking another step into the music streaming subscription industry with its already dominant music tool, YouTube. YouTube is the go-to service for free music streaming the world over, but that has always been on an ad-generated revenue model. Now Google and YouTube plan to capitalize on the video service's 1 billion unique visitors per month and find a way to turn those music listeners into subscribers. The companies believe that jumping into this market will be a new powerful and sustainable revenue stream.
Are streaming music services sustainable?
Whether or not music streaming subscription services are sustainable is up for debate. Without a doubt, music streaming is on the rise, and subscription services like Pandora, Spotify, and All Access are all seeing increases in subscribers. But nothing in the business world can last forever—particularly not in today's exponentially changing tech era. Remember iTunes? It may still be a music giant, but streaming services have already begun to put a dent in its sales and flipped its mp3-driven business model on its head.
The big players in music streaming have already seen decent revenues in this surging industry. In 2011, Spotify launched in the U.S. and brought in $252 million in revenue for the year. The next year that revenue leapt to $576.5 million, up more than 200% year over year. Pandora reported revenue of $125.5 million for Q1 2013 alone.
But operating costs—particularly licensing fees—are what stifles the growth of this potentially successful business model. With Spotify, for example, artists are currently paid $0.0033 per song streamed, which sounds minuscule. But those fractions of a penny can add up for companies like Pandora and Spotify, who stream hundreds of millions of songs per day. If Spotify streamed 500 million songs per day for 30 days, that would cost them almost $50 million per month. And that's just royalties—though licensing fees takes up about 70% of its revenue, there's also streaming and hosting costs plus all additional operations, administrative and overhead costs to consider.
Subscribers, at 6 million, make up one-quarter of its 24 million active users and would bring in about $60 million per month at the $9.99/month subscription rate. That amount just covers the licensing costs in the example (provided Spotify doesn't stream over 500 million songs in a day, which more than likely it has and/or will), which means, despite ad-generated revenue, Spotify is seeing red year after year: $60 million in 2011 and $77 million in 2012. Similarly, Pandora went from a loss of $11 million in 2011 to a loss of $38.15 million by fiscal year ending in 2013.
It costs more and more to acquire content, and licensing fees are killing these companies slowly but surely. Will these subscription services add enough subscribers fast enough to meet the demands for more content? More subscribers means more money, but more users also means more song streams, which means more licensing fees for artists—artists who are not so happy with their current fractions of a penny per song. Spotify promises artists that it will pay them five times the current amount once it hits 40 million subscribers, but at only 6 million now, that might not be anytime soon.
While these companies are bringing in plenty of revenue each year, the shakiness of extensive costs threatens the sustainability of the music subscription service model. No music listening or purchasing trend lasts forever—the question is how, why, and when music subscription services will fall out of grace and be replaced by the next biggest and brightest technology.

Hey Jacki, are your pictures still up on FB ? (not so OT as you would think...)
Given the examples in the article, blocking access to social networking sites from the office isn't going to do any good. People will still maintain their profiles in their own time and be just as vunerable to phishing for credentials at home.
T,FTFY -- View image here: http://episteme.arstechnica.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif --
I had people at work crashing their machines today going to this site:
I'm reminded of Dr. Stephen Falken in the movie War Games, who basically writes off human existence due to their predictable and persistent stupid behavior. If people are so hell-bent on feeding their social-networking vanity in the manner and myriad forms that we're seeing today, screw 'em all. There's no way to stop it.
Yes, yes, and yes. I have certain users who for some reason seem to get the bulk of SPAM and have problems with their machines. They complain all day long. In the end who was it that clicked on the eticket confirmation from Nigeria? Not me.. In the end I guess that is what makes them users...
what i love about IT and articles like this is these people think tyranny is the answer. sure, ban cars when people speed, that'll teach those stupids. Truth is IT is fairly stupid too. These people will block youtube, but won't patch a zero day exploit. it's hard to take people seriously when there is no consistency.
I work at a software company. Well, it's "kind of" a software company.
-- View image here: http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/akegata/pebkac-fix.png --
Ummmm... don't give my company ideas.
At the call center where I work the machines are loaded with websense,BUT whoever programmed it is an idiot.anything gaming related? no access. Which makes it kinda hard for some of our people to figure out what is breaking a clients computer.
Pfft, I don't know many admins that have time to sit around and chit chat with people about personal info posted on FB.
Its usually a good idea to test patches for application compatibility before rolling them out to the whole network, to make sure that the patch will not interfere with any business critical application. And if you were working instead of screwing around with personality quizzes on Facebook, the chance of this zero day exploit being invited into our network to wreak havoc would be greatly decreased.
Also, I would suggest getting a smartphone with a data plan if you'd like to watch youtube at your desk. I finally blocked it when I grew bored of getting calls reporting network slowness, only to find a large amount of traffic coming from youtube and other streaming video sites. I know, we should probably upgrade our bandwidth to the internet, but that costs money. If you'd like, I can submit a request to your supervisor advising them of the situation, and bill the additional bandwidth cost to your department's budget.
Your Friendly SysAdmin
Yup... They block the shit out of things here where I work. I bought a smart phone and got "unlimited" 1GB data plan. It works, but Youtubes aren't worth the wait in most cases. Web sites and IM work fine. It's just enough to keep me from going insane (mostly).
Really, it wasn't the web lock down that really convinced me to get my own pipe and bring my own laptop into work, it was the fact that they lock down the computer so damn much that sometimes it doesn't even work when I want to do work stuff. I've had Acrobat Reader complain that it can't display PDFs at all because the updater component was removed. Vista popped up and asked me to save a WiFi access point one day, and when I clicked "OK" it asked for an ADMIN password. I can't change the screen saver, or how long it is before it starts. I have to log on once to decrypt the drive, and then again into Vista. Makes the damn computer unusable in my eyes. There are a lot of sheeple around here that just suck it up and use their machines. Mine drove me nuts. After a week, I just gave up, bought a new phone capable of tethering and brought in my own laptop. My brand new work laptop is nothing more than a glorified email machine now. I use my laptop for everything else.
Checking up on the information? What kind of braindead idiotic idea is that. As if I would let my company check what I put up on social networking sites.
Sheesh. Educate your users what problems there can be and try to hire people that have enough brain to follow these advices.
Probably the same kind of "braindead idiotic idea" that makes users think it's a good idea to post massive amounts of personal and semi-private information to a barely secure infrastructure.
Don't get me wrong, this isn't an endorsement of the idea. I like my privacy.
As to the second bit about hiring people with "enough brain[s] to follow [this] advice": I think the majority of users have the capacity to understand the problem, it's the habits that die hard. I've known plenty of smart people that ignore simple advice.
That's a big difference. Yes some users may be stupid. Doesn't give a company the right to request such an outrageous breach of personal privacy. Its similar when you look at laws. Yes some people break the laws but law enforcement still has to work within the rules. If they cannot catch someone within these rules they are out of luck. Bad as it may be on some occasions.
True, on the other hand I think you can do MUCH more through education of users than most sysadmins and security officers think. Will you have a couple of guys (and women) who still do something incredibly stupid? Absolutely. But this is no argument for locking everything down and annoying all workers. (Which are according to a terrible cliche the most important asset of your company ;-) )
Water is also wet.
Oh? You didn't read that big article on robot networking sites?
Dude, they're ROBOTS It's all they do!!
This comment was edited by strider_mt2k on July 23, 2009 12:39
It's this kind of activity that ruins the scene for guys like me who just want to post snarky comments on tech blogs while at work.
I think a big point that many of you are missing is that users DON'T want to be educated on the dangers of their online behavior. Who am I, the IS Manager, to tell them that what they are doing on social networks is dangerous to our infrastructure? They don't want to hear the typical "Nick Burns - Your Company's Computer Guy" speech about how randomly clicking things and opening email can be hazardous. And we haven't even touched all the lost productivity from users spending all day playing Mob Wars instead of working.
There are two kinds of stupid users:
Users who browse safe are the same as drivers who say the average driver can't drink and drive and them promptly rate their driving as "above average".
The problem is the "smart people" who work in these stupid companies and their so called "Security questions"
Just as there are many clueless users, there are many clueless IT folks (and clueless everyone, really -- everyone is clueless about something).
If it weren't illegal and a drain on Other People's Resources, I would be interested in conducting the following experiment...
Send out a million spam messages to random people that contain a single link: "CLICK HERE TO ERASE ALL YOUR DATA AND LOAD VIRUSES ON YOUR MACHINE"
Instead of performing those destructive tasks, the link would actually connect to an online counter that displays the number of people who clicked it. I would be willing to bet that the number would be pretty far from zero.
"Let" has nothing to do with it. If you're doing it on the company's pipe (like, say, over lunch), you really have no say in the matter.
When you find that nirvana, let me know.
The 90s have called they want their IT policies back. The employees you want to hire for your company today simply expect relatively unhindered online access. And companies have to suck it up or they can hire brainless sheep if they prefer that. The balance of power may have tilted to the employer due to the financial crisis but it will tilt back to the employees soon enough.
Besides companies may have the right to block access to sites but they surely have no right to inspect your private correspondence if they allow modest private use. And if they have the theoretical right in the US then this is idiotic, private correspondence is private even if you do it from a company computer. (One (solitary) thing that is done much better in Germany)
As was indicated in the article, they have already done this.
I have to agree with the management & IT people side of things. People seem to think that we want to have to manage this stuff. Trust us, we would much rather be doing something more productive and meaningful than having to watch and monitor websites. Ever watched paint dry? It is almost as exciting as that.
and remind the truly stupid to continue using identy challenge questions where the answers are a matter of public record.

edit to fix quote
Thanks - I missed that.
Although in the case of that particular study, college students were called into a testing environment and were using machines that they had no reason to care about. So some of them may have even foiled the experiment just to be smart-asses.
I'm more curious to see how dumb users might be even if they had their own machine at stake, without being told they were part of an experiment.
Actually we DO have access to view anything that you write, send or look at on our network. Private messages sent from our company are not private.
Here is our acceptable usage policy under the monitoring section of the employee hire documentation:
"ALL messages created, sent, or retrieved over the internet are the property of the company and may be regarded as public information. (Our company) reserves the right to access the contents of any message sent over it's facilities if the company believes, in it's sole judgment, that is has a business need to do so."
12% of people replied to spam? Really? I always wondered what morons encouraged spam. I'm thinking I only know two people who might have replied to spam at some point in their lives. They are the ones who continue to send me chain e-mails. One woman is, yeah, dumb. The other fellow is merely clueless.
Fine, I'll bite.... how the fuck does YouTube cause you to "rebuild a PC a day?"
The notion that IT dept's are tyranical in nature comes from the fact that there's far more stupid users than savvy ones. Most IT departments are reasonable in how they operate. As a user shows proficiency, they give them more leash to roam on. As they show stupidity, they reign them in. Since they end up cracking down on more users than giving privileges to the few who deserve them, folks think the IT folks are nothing but a-holes. But they're not.
Common sense called and left a message for you to call it back.
It has nothing to do with power. It has to do with companies protecting their own interest and asses. If you were doing something illegal, using company resources, that could bite the company in the ass. However, you seem to think you have some sort of shield because you consider it "private".
If you're in my house, yapping away on my phone, do you expect this privacy? Sure, you can ask for it, but in no way, shape or form am I required to grant it. You're in MY house, on MY phone. Why should you expect this when you're at a company, using the company's resources???
No, private correspondence is private when you do it on your own nickel. When you use someone else's resources, I don't see how you can expect to have that right. That's some set of brass balls you have if you're going to go into a company that is providing you with a job and dictate to them how you're going to use their company resources.

PEORIA, Ariz. — Robinson Cano got two hits and made a pair of smooth plays in the field as the Seattle Mariners beat the Angels 5-3 on Saturday in a game shortened to seven innings because of rain.
Cano struck out in the first inning against C.J. Wilson. The Seattle newcomer hit an RBI single in the third and later scored on Dustin Ackley's RBI double.
Wilson pitched into the third before leaving after Xavier Avery's single. Wilson was strong in the first inning, striking out the side, including Abraham Almonte and Cano looking. Cano is a career .389 hitter in the regular season against Wilson in 40 plate appearances.
Wilson felt he did well at hitting his spots in the first inning and only really missed on an 0-2 fastball to Justin Smoak that stayed in the middle of the plate, which he hit for to deep center for a double in the second.
"It doesn't really matter what the count is, if you hit your spots you're going to be fine," Wilson said.
Cano was sharp at second base, making a charging grab and flip to get Ian Stewart in the first and starting a double play in the fourth. This was Cano's second game for the Mariners in his debut, he singled on the first pitch he saw.
Scott Baker threw two scoreless innings to start his bid for a spot in Seattle's rotation. He gave up one hit, walked one and struck out win in his first start of the spring as Seattle improved to 3-0 in Cactus League play.
The game was played despite the first rain in the Phoenix area since late December. Heavy showers blew through the Peoria area about two hours before first pitch but skies cleared and the field was deemed playable for the 1:05 p.m. start.
In the fifth inning, dark clouds started to build toward the west and finally arrived in the bottom of the seventh. A lightning flash in the distance sent fans scurrying for the exits and heavy rains followed moments later.

Lyrics:First verseBill Jackson was a poor old dub Who joined the ""Darktown Poker Club"" He cursed the day he told them he would join. His money seemed like it had wings, If he held queens someone had kings Each night he would contribute all his coin. He said: ""I'll play them tight tonight, No bob tail flush will make me bite, When I go in my hand will be a peach."" He played them tight but lost his pile And he got peevish after while He rose and looked around an' made this speech.ChorusWell, you see this nice new razor, I had it sharpened just today; I'm goin' to tell you all some brand new rules Now follow them when you play. Keep your hands above the table when you're dealin', please, Don't be stickin' any aces in between your knees; Don't be makin' funny signs for to tip your hand, Don't be talkin' any language I don't understand. Don't be dealin' from the bottom , caise it looks too rough And remember that in poker, five cards is enough. When you bet put up the chips for I don't like it when you're shy, When you're broke go get some money, you can join us bye and bye. Pass the cards for me to shuffle ev'ry time before you deal, If there's anything wrong I can see. You aint goin' to play this accordin' to Hoyle You're goinn' to play this accordin' to me.
Second verseNow sitting right there in that clan There chanced to be a one-eyed man; Bill watched him from the corner of his eye, The one-eyed man would deal and then 'Twould cost Bill Jackson five or ten. Bill rose and looked around him with a sigh, He said: "I think it is a shame, There's some one cheating in this game! Of course it wouldn't do to name the guy So I wont give the party's name But if I see him cheat again I'll take my fist and close his other eye"!

Janoris Jenkins is being hotly pursued at the top of the second round and numerous teams are looking to trade up to the start of the second round of the 2012 NFL Draft so they can take the North Alabama cornerback, team executives said Thursday night.
The Baltimore Ravens, who already traded down once from the No. 29 overall pick in the first round to the third pick in the second round (No. 35), could move back again, given the demand for Jenkins.
Jenkins has been a divisive prospect because of his off-the-field issues. The former All-American was kicked out of Florida after three arrests and testing positive for marijuana multiple times.
Three team sources told NFL Network's Albert Breer that Jenkins admitted in pre-draft interviews to having smoked marijuana while at North Alabama. Jenkins has denied that.

Faith in Vermont: Country Mice in Boston
You don't need me to tell you that it's been a particularly long, cold, hard winter. Everyone's saying it, and when they do I nod and roll my eyes in agreement – but the truth is, this winter didn't bother me very much. I was just grateful for some decent snow to play in (and grateful to not be pregnant this year so that I could play in the snow without worrying about falling). Also, when you have four young children, you're not going anywhere anyway; being housebound by cold and snow is just like the rest of the year, only with a different view.
All the same, when our oldest daughter's spring vacation arrived in late April, I was really starting to feel the effects of not going anywhere. So I made plans to go somewhere: Boston.
This would be our daughters' first time in Boston, and our family's first trip to a big city since the birth of our fourth child last June. We planned a quick, simple two-day, two-night stay.
It was wonderful. The girls loved everything about Boston, we made some fun memories, it was nice to get away and nice to return home. Here are some observations from our trip:
1. Cities are expensive. My husband and I met, married, and lived our first few years of married life in New York City; we've known cities. But we've grown soft, and we were shocked by the expense of everything in Boston. Parking, food, museums – each of these cost our family of six over $100. Say what you will about the high taxes here in Vermont; we left Boston shaking our heads over how anybody – especially families – can afford to live in the city.
2. Cities are crowded. Again, my husband and I are no strangers to the hustle and bustle of cities. But it's one thing to navigate congestion when you're a single 20-something; it's another thing entirely to navigate congestion with four small children. City kids probably learn this early, but in Boston we found that our own daughters have absolutely no sense of how to handle themselves in crowds. They stumbled around the sidewalks looking everywhere except straight ahead, they groped the legs of strangers and pushed past people in their way – in short, they behaved like tiny drunks. The large cushion of space that usually surrounds them in Vermont had shrunk to mere centimeters in Boston, and they hadn't gotten the memo.
3. Cities require patience.We tend to think of city life as faster paced than country life, and in general this is true. But on our Boston trip, we observed that city life was marked by periods of frantic movement, interspersed with long periods of waiting. We had to wait in line to order food, and wait again until a table became available. We had to wait in line to buy tickets to visit the Boston Children's Museum, and to board a Duck Tour (for which we'd already had to wait several hours, since all the previous tours were full). We had to wait for parking, for bathrooms, and to cross the street. All of this waiting was entirely new to our daughters, because in Vermont you rarely have to wait for any of these things. We explained to them (multiple times) that the people standing around were, in fact, a line, and we had to stay behind them. Our second daughter actually growled at the glowing orange hand that prevented us from crossing a busy street, until it turned into a white walking person.
4. Even a day in the big city doesn't exhaust my children enough to make them sleep later. We packed a lot of activities into those two days in Boston. Every day was full, and every bedtime was extremely late. We loosened up on our regular schedule, because we were on "vacation time." And in a departure from their usual tendency to party for an hour after lights-out, my daughters fell asleep the instant their heads hit the pillows. But both mornings, they bopped out of bed before 6:30 AM. Six-thirty is the time I usually have to pry them out of bed – on school mornings.
5. We didn't really have to go anywhere.Without question, the highlight of this trip for my daughters was: the hotel. Our room was on the seventh floor, we took an elevator to reach it, and when they looked out the window at night they could see lights – none of which is a part of their day-to-day existence. Other delights abounded: the sliding mirrored closet doors, the bar soap in the bathroom (we use liquid soap at home), the cable TV in the bedroom, the indoor pool and hot tub, the Froot Loops at the continental breakfast. This made me wonder if we could've just driven ten minutes to the Marriott Courtyard in Middlebury and had the same amount of fun.
Probably. But I'm still glad we went to Boston, and we'll certainly go back – as soon as our bank account recovers.

Oregon State Beavers Football Tickets
Oregon State Beavers Football Tickets Tickets Rated 0.00/5 based on 0 customer reviews 100 0
2013: 7-6 (4-5 Pac-12); won Hawaii Bowl over Boise State Coming off a nine-win season in 2012, Oregon State looked to get back to 10 wins for the first time since 2006. Unfortunately they went the wrong direction in what was a very up-and-down season. They came into the year ranked #25 before losing to non-major Eastern Washington. Then they won six in a row, although none of them were particularly hard. Good thing they had already clinched bowl eligibility because then they lost six in a row, including three ranked teams in the tough Pac-12 schedule. The bowl victory ended the season on a positive note. Their defense got routinely torched all year long, but the offense was interestingly one-sided. The passing attack was the third-best in the FBS at over 376 yards per game. Credit QB Sean Mannion (4,662 yards, 37 TDs) for that; the classic pocket-passer will definitely want to make a big time bowl in his last college season. They really need help in the running game, however, now that his biggest target in WR Brandin Cooks (1,730 rec yards, 16 TDs) is in the NFL. Their schedule is highlighted with road games at USC and Stanford, and home games against ASU and Oregon. The Oregon State Beavers are North Division members of the Pac-12 Conference. They operate under head coach Mike Riley at Reser Stadium, which holds just over 45,000 fans. All-time they have five conference titles and 17 bowl appearances. Their main rivalries are with Oregon, Washington, and Washington State. The Oregon rivalry, known as the Civil War, is their most fierce, despite their overall record of 46-61-10 and losing the last six matchups. Notable NFL Beavers right now are Seahawks CB Brandon Browner and Rams running back Steven Jackson. This season Riley is ready and confident his team will top the Pac-12 and Gold Coast Tickets does not want you to miss out on the action. Gold Coast Tickets has the best selection for all your college football needs this season!

20 April 2011= 8:24AM (GMT) =
I just released 3.1.1, which adds a dark style option for dark sites for users of v2 comment system, and also fixes a bug. This latter should fix the slowness some people were experiencing.
17 April 2011= 6:43AM (GMT) =
- A user has posted a short troubleshooting guide. Check it out if you're having issues. And you can always delete/reinstall the plugin if nothing else is working (or your XID is missing).
- Email notifications should be working in this coming, or the following, update. Currently they only work with v1.
- The new dark color scheme will be added in the next update
- Current facebook bugs with comment system here.
08 April 2011= 9:03PM (GMT) =
Things should be working again. Let me know here or on twitter if they're not.
Also, if you have a problem and need help, please check here before asking me.
07 April 2011= 10:35PM (GMT) =
Hi. Facebook's all.js script is broken, which seems to be what's causing the problems among those of you using "new" or "v1 only". If Facebook doesn't have it fixed in the next day or so, I'll release an update which uses a patched version of the script.
14 March 2011= 12:46am (GMT) =
3.1 is out, it will propagate within 15 minutes. This took over thirty coding/debugging hours, so unless there are bugs, there probably won't be any more releases until April.
Here is an overview of what's changed (from the readme):
- Important: I highly recommend using "v2 only", as it is, by far, the most feature-filled. If you have old comments, you can use "Display both v1 and v2 comments"
- Issue: If you see
Warning: http://example.com/example_post is unreachable., make sure your app settings are correct (enter
http://example.com/for "Site URL" and
example.comfor "Site Domain", note the lack of http or a trailing slash, this is important)
- Feature: Like button integrated into plugin. Enable on settings page. You can fully customize it there as well.
- Feature: Like button can also be added to the top or bottom of each post on the site's main page (same "like" count as the one in comments)
- Feature: Comment count for 'v2 only' comments now displayed. Customizable on plugin's settings page.
- Settings: Reorganized settings page to make clear what applies to which version of facebook comment system
- Bugfix: Users should no longer see "Fatal error: Cannot use object of type WP_Error as array in wp-content/plugins/facebook-comments-for-wordpress/facebook-comments-admin.php on line 71"
- Bugfix: "Comments Closed" should no longer display inappropriately
- Bugfix: The 'delete' link on the dashboard recent comments widget is functional again
- Bugfix: A request to facebook that times out no longer incorrectly asserts that the application ID is incorrect
- Bugfix: No longer dies if facebook is unreachable (i.e., no more "Uncaught CurlException: 6: [...] name lookup timed out thrown on line 622")
- Bugfix: ...and no more "Uncaught CurlException: 1: [...] thrown on line 519"
- Bugfix: Activation should no longer be slow on sites with many comments
- Bugfix: Other small edge case bug fixes
Things Facebook changed with v2(facebook post, my summary)
A brief rundown:
- You may have problems if using Firefox less than 4, or pretty much any version of IE except for IE9
- No more custom CSS or darksite
"We want to make the Comments plugin consistent with the others, so we will most likely have a dark styled version, ability to specify font, etc., but unfortunately, not have custom css." - Cat Lee, Program Manager, Developer Relations at Facebook
- No more anonymous comments
If anyone would like to contribute to the plugin, you can do so by forking the project on GitHub and letting me know when you'd like an update pushed to WordPress.
If you discover a bug, please add it to the GitHub Issues page. You can always find help by posting in the Live Demo below or by leaving a message in the WordPress forums.
If the latest version isn't working for you, you can download a previous version here (v1.5.2 worked for nearly everyone, but lacks combined comment counts and notifications).
What Is It?↑Top

Live Demo↑Top
Facebook comments:
Usage Screenshots↑Top1. If you don't set a Facebook application ID, the following will appear in your comments (if you're an admin). 2. This is the Facebook comments box, complete with comments. 3. This is the anonymous posting form that non-Facebook users see. 4. This is the comments box with the Reverse option enabled. 5. This is the comments box using an external stylesheet (for dark sites). 6. This is the comments box with the Remove grey box option enabled. 7. Clicking the Administer Comments link allows you to block specific users from commenting.
Upcoming Features↑Top• Option to allow the Facebook comments box to be included before or after the WordPress comments • Ability to import Facebook comments into the WordPress database and vice-versa • Option to specify an image to be used in the link that's generated on Facebook when the Like button is clicked • Option to link to a landing page instead of to the post a comment was made on
Known Issues↑Top• After deleting a comment, all Delete links disappear (Facebook bug; try refreshing the page) • New comments may take a few minutes to show up (Facebook bug due to latency on their servers)
Frequently Asked Questions↑Top
My comments aren't showing up. All I see is the Facebook comments title.
This plugin currently conflicts with the following Facebook-related plugins:
- Digg Digg
- FaceBook Share (New)
- Simple Facebook Connect
- Simple Facebook Share Button
This is because this plugin loads Facebook's new JavaScript library while other plugins load the old library. On pages where both libraries are loaded, only the first plugin will work properly. (The authors of the aforementioned plugins need to update their code.)
Please disable these plugins to see if they're conflicting before emailing me. Their implementation is beyond my control.
The comments aren't showing up on my pages/posts at all (not even the Facebook comments title).
The Facebook comments attach themselves to the default WordPress comments, so you need to enable commenting on your pages and posts for this plugin to work.
You can hide the default WordPress comments afterwards by checking the Hide WordPress comments on posts/pages where Facebook commenting is enabled option on the plugin's settings page.
I receive a syntax/fatal error when I activate the plugin.
If you receive either of the following errors, please contact your webhost and ask them to upgrade their servers to the latest version of PHP:
- Syntax error (unexpected '{') in facebook-comments-functions.php on line 81
- Fatal error (cannot redeclare class FacebookApiException) in scripts/facebook.php on line 91
If you receive the following error, please ask your webhost to install the PHP cURL extension (a common PHP library for communicating with other websites):
- Fatal error (Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'Facebook needs the CURL PHP extension.') in scripts/facebook.php
Combined comment counts aren't working on my site.
Ensure your application secret is set correctly. If it's not, all Facebook API calls will return an error and the plugin won't be able to retrieve the proper counts.
If you're sure your application secret is correct, note that the combined comment count is passed through WordPress' get_comments_number() function.
If you're using a custom theme, you may have to modify your comments.php file (located inside your theme's directory) to include a call to get_comments_number() where your comments are being listed.
I'm seeing a Facebook error page in the iframe instead of my comments.
This generally happens due to an issue loading Facebook's JavaScript library. You can attempt to remedy this issue by loading the library the old way. This can be done by checking The old way option on the plugin's settings page.
Can I see the names and profile pictures of the people who Like a post?
Facebook only allows you to see the names and pictures of people that you're friends with.
If 100 people Like your post, but only 5 of them are your friends, you'll only see the names and pictures of those 5 people. The others will appear as "...and 95 others like this."
I don't see the anonymous posting form when I'm not logged into Facebook.
You can enable anonymous comments as follows:
- Click the Administer Comments link under the commenting box
- Select the Yes radio button next to Allow Anonymous Comments
- Click the Save Changes button
How do I add a margin around the comments?
Add the following to your Container Styles on the settings page: margin: 20px;
Why aren't all of the profile pics under the Like button displayed?
Facebook only displays profile pics for people with whom you're friends.
I'm receiving a Database Down error when I try to post a new comment. How do I fix this?
Try disabling any other Facebook-related plugins running on your site. They often cause conflicts that disrupt the communication between the comments and Facebook's servers.
How do I manually insert the Facebook comments in my theme?
Simply add the following code where you'd like the comments to show up: <?php if (function_exists('facebook_comments')) facebook_comments(); ?>
Note that you'll still need a valid Facebook application ID and a unique XID for the comments to show up. Also, since the post ID is appended to the XID, the comments will still be unique for each page (so you can't use them as a shoutbox in your sidebar).
Can I have the Facebook comments show up after the WordPress comments?
- From your WordPress Dashboard, go to Appearance -> Editor
- Select the Single Post (single.php) template from the list on the right-hand side
- Insert the following code somewhere between <?php comments_template(); ?> and <?php endwhile; else: ?>: <?php if (function_exists('facebook_comments')) facebook_comments(); ?>
- Example: ...

<?php comments_template(); ?>
<?php if (function_exists('facebook_comments')) facebook_comments(); ?>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
What's an XID and why do I need one?
Every set of Facebook comments requires a unique XID so Facebook can keep track of which comments belong to which pages. This plugin takes your XID (which was randomly generated when you activated the plugin) and appends _post<postId> to it, thereby ensuring a unique XID for each post.
XIDs are maintained when you upgrade this plugin.
Note that if you change the post ID manually, your Facebook comments will no longer show up because for that particular post because that also causes your XID to change.
The Hide WordPress comments feature isn't working.
Certain themes may name the
 element containing the WordPress comments differently. This plugin simply uses CSS to hide the following
 elements:
- #respond
- #commentform
- #addcomment
- .entry-comments
If your WordPress comments aren't being hidden, you may need to add a new ID or class to <plugin_dir>/css/facebook-comments-hidewpcomments.css file.
The comments aren't appearing in Internet Explorer (but they work in other browsers).
Ensure the Include Facebook FBML reference and Include OpenGraph reference options are checked off on the settings page.
If the comments still aren't appearing in IE, open up your theme's header.php file and add the following attributes to the  tag: xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml" xmlns:og="http://opengraphprotocol.org/schema/"
Can I send users to a landing page instead of to the page a comment was made on?
This feature has been requested a few times and will show up in a future release.
Can I share comment streams between my Facebook fanpage and my WordPress blog?
This feature has been requested several times but hasn't been implemented yet. (You can try the WordBooker plugin if you need this functionality.)
Why do my comments take a few seconds to show up?
The Facebook comments widget has to query Facebook's servers to retrieve the appropriate comments. This can take up to 10 seconds. IF they still haven't shown up after that time, refresh the page.
The issues below have all been resolved in the most current version of this plugin. I leave them here for posterity.
Can I display the comments on my homepage?
While some people have claimed success in this endeavor, it is not a currently supported feature of the plugin. I may add this functionality at a later time.
How can I resolve conflicts with the Facebook Like and Share buttons?
There are a few steps you can take to remedy these issues.
First, check if your page is including the following script more than once:
-
If so, you'll need to manually remove the offending inclusion (either from your single.php file, your page.php or one of your plugins). Ensure you keep the inclusion that's attached to this plugin. It shows up in the following format:
-
If that doesn't remedy the conflict, look for the following script on your page and remove it:
-
If this causes your Facebook Like or Share button to stop working, you'll need to update your code as follows:
- Change this: <a name="fb_share" type="box_count" share_url="<your_webpage>" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php">Share
- ...to this: <fb:like-box href="<your_webpage>" width="200" connections="6" stream="true" header="false"></fb:like-box>
You can read more about the proper way to include Facebook Like and Share buttons on the Facebook Developer website.
How to Install and Setup↑Top1. Download the plugin and unzip it to <wordpress>/wp-content/plugins/. 2. From your WordPress Dashboard, go to the Plugins section. 3. Find the Facebook Comments for WordPress row and click the Activate link.
Depending on the number of posts on your site, activation may take a moment because the plugin is caching all of your comment counts.4. Add the Facebook Developer application to your Facebook account. 5. Click the + Set Up New App button. 6. Enter an Application Name (the name of your website) and agree to the terms. 7. Click on the Website tab and copy the Application ID and Application Secret from the Settings page. 8. From your WordPress Dashboard, go to the Facebook Comments section under Settings. 9. Enter your Facebook application ID and application secret in the first two textboxes. Adjust options if needed.
How to Remove↑Top1. From your WordPress Dashboard, go to the Plugins section. 2. Find the Facebook Comments for WordPress row and click the Deactivate link.

An Honest Kitchen "Makeovers"
Today on the dietitian's side of Green & Berries I'm pleased to feature a guest post by Kathyrn Elliott and Lucinda Dodds who have just released issue #6 of An Honest Kitchen, their beautiful, appetizing and intelligent digital publication about cooking, eating and enjoying "real food that's good for you."
Kathryn and I (Lucy) were challenged by a reader to makeover some classic recipes, to give the An Honest Kitchen treatment to some favourite family meals, we jumped at the opportunity. What a fun idea, one with a practical and healthy outcome.
We researched what types of meals people turned to most often and what we discovered was that a lot of recipes, particularly traditional ones, required a pathetic amount of vegetables. We knew straight away that many could do with a makeover right there. If you're going to eat five portions of vegetables per day, the minimum required for good health, then dinner will probably – for most of us - need to contain at least three. That's not going to happen if a recipe asks for one carrot and half an onion between four people.
We also discovered that cutting back on the amount of oil you cook with, and on the cream and cheese while you're at it, works a treat, with no compromise on flavour if you use other flavouring tools. Plus, keeping a good sense of what the proportions of your plate should look like by following our 50/25/25 rule (see below) keeps everyone happy and healthy.
Here are some of our thoughts on how to makeover any recipe you already love:
Double the vegetables.
Simply to double (or triple) the quantity of the vegetables given in any recipe. (Although you don't need to do this with ours!)
It's easier to add extra vegetables to your meal if you chose those which take a similar amount of time to cook. Pay attention to whether the recipe you want to makeover uses relatively quick cooking vegetables (e.g. zucchini, snow peas and spinach) or ones which take longer (e.g. carrots, pumpkin (winter squash), beetroot and onions).
Canned tomatoes and frozen peas count! Adding these can be a convenient way to get more vegetables into soups and stews particularly.
A half or whole bunch of chopped spinach or other greenery right at the end of the cooking works almost every time.
If in doubt, add a big green salad. One handful of salad is roughly equal to one vegetable portion.
Cut back on the oil you use
We find almost everything can be cooked in one or two tablespoons of olive oil.
Keep some measuring spoons by the stove as pouring by eye alone can be wildly inaccurate.
Start the cooking off at a slightly lower temperature than normal when using less oil, and stir more regularly at the beginning to prevent food sticking or browning too quickly.
Cut back on or replace the cheese and cream
If a favourite recipe uses cream you can use either natural yoghurt or yoghurt that has been whisked together with some ricotta in its place. If you're using just yoghurt, stir this through at the end, right before serving, to prevent it from splitting.
Reduce the overall quantity of cheese used, and make it a strong tasting cheese like vintage cheddar, feta or parmesan to boost flavour.
Instead of cream and/or cheese to lift a meal, try mustard, fresh herbs, sundried tomatoes, shoyu, chilli or citrus. Any of these can help the flavours to hum beautifully.
Change the portions on your plate
Make vegetables about half of the bulk of each meal.
There's no need to go "carb free", but aim to make the grain or potato portion of your meal about ¼ of the bulk on your plate. Cook less of these foods and replace some of them with vegetables.
Think about whether you need to reduce your portion of protein containing foods like meat, chicken, fish, eggs and tofu. Aim for a piece of meat or chicken the size and thickness of your palm, or a piece of fish the size of your hand. As a general rule, make the protein portion of your meal about ¼ of the bulk on your plate.
A good rule is the 50/25/25 rule, a simple guideline to what your dinner plate should look like - 50% vegetable, 25% protein and 25% cereal (or potato).
So. What does a Makeover recipe look like? I'm glad you asked.
Macaroni & Cauliflower Cheesy Bake
Our inspiration for this was, of course, the traditional macaroni cheese. For our Makeover version we've added in plenty of vegetables; cauliflower and frozen spinach, plus some red lentils which are cooked in with the pasta. You'll be getting at least three portions of vegetable per serve. By making a lighter sauce based on yoghurt, ricotta the calorie/kilojoule is drastically reduced. Easier, healthier and still delicious. Makes 4 serves
1 small - medium head of cauliflower, about 800g (a generous 1 ½ lbs)
180g (6 ½ oz) macaroni
¼ cup red lentils
90g (3 ¼ oz) frozen spinach
10-ish sprigs of fresh thyme
6 pieces sundried tomato
70g (2 ½ oz) strong tasting Cheddar
½ cup natural yoghurt
150g (5 ¼ oz) fresh ricotta
1 tablespoon wholegrain or Dijon mustard
1 slice wholegrain bread
1 tablespoon parmesan
1 large handful of mixed leaves per person
Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F).
Chop the cauliflower & cook the pasta: Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil. While you are waiting for the water, very roughly chop the cauliflower. Once the water is boiling add the macaroni and red lentils. Cook for about 4 minutes and then add the cauliflower and frozen spinach. Continue cooking until the pasta is al dente and the cauliflower is soft. Drain, making sure you reserve some of the cooking water.
While the pasta is cooking, make the cheese sauce: Remove the thyme leaves from the stalk and place these in a large bowl. Roughly chop the sundried tomatoes and grate the Cheddar. Add these to the thyme, together with the yoghurt, ricotta and mustard. Mix well. Once the macaroni and vegetables are cooked, pour these into the cheese sauce. Add ¼ cup of the reserved cooking liquid. Season with lots of black pepper and then gently fold together, so the ingredients are well combined. Don't worry if it looks a bit sloppy at this stage.
Make the crunchy topping: Place the wholegrain bread and parmesan on a chopping board and run a knife through, chopping until the mixture resembles very rough breadcrumbs.
Bake the pasta: Tip the pasta and cauliflower into a baking dish. Scatter the bread and parmesan mixture over the top. Place in the oven and cook for 15 - 20 minutes, until the topping is golden brown.
To serve: Place a large handful of salad leaves on each plate and then serve with the Macaroni and Cauliflower Bake.

Commercial Janitorial provides commercial cleaning services in using the principles of green cleaning. So no matter which type of cleaning service we provide in , we respect the environment and the people who work in it.
Read More About Green Cleaning in
Commercial Janitorial is a nationwide janitorial services company that has been providing our customers with the highest quality cleaning services for over a decade.
Learn more about us and how we do business in .
Visit our Facebook page for the latest news and offers from Commercial Janitorial.
Connect with us now.
The medical cleaning market throughout the area is more regulated than other types of facilities we clean.
Therefore 's specific medical and health-care rules and guidelines are followed.
These health-care and medical cleaning guidelines may need to be documented as part of the entire facility cleaning procedure.
There may be extra medical cleaning staff training required for our health-care janitorial employees and close supervision to assure the medical facility is cleaned correctly to standards.
Specialized medical grade equipment, health-care appropriate chemicals, and supplies to meet the requirements of a particular health-care facility.
's laws governing medical facilities such as hospitals, clinics, assisted living facilities may require you, as an employer in the health care industry,
to provide your employees with biomedical hazard communication training,
shots and vaccines for hepatitis, and instructions for the proper disposal of biohazard materials cleaned.
In addition to general medical cleaning we can also provide doctor's offices, hospitals and other patient facilities with floor care, carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning, and window cleaning.
's smaller health care facilities like private practice Dr's offices, birthing centers, outpatient care and drop in clinics require their own specialized cleaning protocols. Larger health-care facilities
like medical labs, public hospitals, private hospitals, children's hospitals and emergency room clinics.
Sterilization or disinfection is common requirement for cleaning most areas of a medical facility.
Sterilization refers to cleaning with powerful chemicals that destroy all known microbial life.
Disinfection is different in that it means killing specific types of pathogens and microorganisms.
If required by rules in accordance with Municipalities in with either procedure we will be using hospital grade disinfectants.
We pay special attention to mops, cleaning cloths, and buckets. These items are to be cleaned every day, and sometimes after each use.
Most medical facilities are cleaned using microfiber cleaning cloths and flat mops, as there is less chance of cross-contamination.
It may also be a requirement of Cities in the Region or Federal Regulations to use a true HEPA filtered vacuum.
A HEPA vacuum cleaner is necessary to protect indoor air quality and prevent microorganisms from becoming airborne which is of concern in
When Commercial Janitorial staff is cleaning a medical facility, they must assume that every surface of the physician's office, dentist office or medical office they clean poses a
potential risk to themselves, the nurses, doctors, medical staff, patients, and visitors to the facility.
Commercial Janitorial staff will follow the regulations established by the cities around the area, OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) for mitigating exposure to blood borne pathogens.
Commercial Janitorial will wear proper personal protective equipment (PPE), which includes latex or rubber gloves and possibly eye protection.
Wearing PPE assures that cleaning staff will not touch contaminated surfaces and also protects them from splashes and spills of contaminated items like lab samples.
Cleaning Metro 's hospitals is a challenge because often they are open 24 hours a day.
Large area cleaning, such as hard floors or carpets in the hospital, may involve blocking off areas of the hospital until the project is completed.
The same holds true for public rest rooms in the hospital. Hospitals, Intensive care units, assisted living facilities and nursing homes may require mitigation of noise caused by vacuum cleaners.
In these cases, quiet vacuum cleaners may be used.
Many health care facilities are now requiring vacuuming hard surface floors opposed to dust mopping because vacuuming reduces the amount of dust and other particulates that can become airborne
throughout the physicians office, medical clinic or hospital.
Our promise to you is to deliver the regions lowest cost medical office cleaning, while at the same time providing the highest quality medical office cleaning. We don't provide low cost medical office
cleaning simply by setting out to be the cheapest medical office cleaning service, though more often than not we will have a bid that is more inexpensive medical office cleaning compared to others.
Find out why and how we provide low cost medical office cleaning throughout the entire area without cutting corners by doing the job right the first time.

The roughly 500 cybercafés in Mumbai, India, will soon have police-sanctioned keylogging software installed on their machines in the name of fighting terrorism. The software will track everything entered into web forms, chat rooms, e-mail, and more, and report it back to the government. Mumbai police say that cybercafé owners must agree to the installation of the software or else they will lose their licenses.
The president of India's Foundation for Information Security and Technology, Vijay Mukhi, told India-based newspaper MiD Day late last month that the decision was based on the fact that terrorists look to hide their Internet activities by using cybercafés instead of their home computers. "The police needs to install programs that will capture every key stroke at regular interval screen shots, which will be sent back to a server that will log all the data," he said. "The police can then keep track of all communication between terrorists no matter which part of the world they operate from. This is the only way to patrol the net and this is how the police informer is going to look in the e-age."
The police are in talks with M/s Micro Technologies to license its monitoring software, Cyber Access Remote Monitoring System (CARMS). CARMS will be able to provide monitoring of everything, from chats to file transfers and e-mails, even if they are encrypted. All cybercafés in Mumbai will need to work with the police to register the number of computers available, the types of computers, and the IP address of each machine. If they do not follow police orders, the owners of the cybercafés face stiff fines and "stringent action" under the Bombay Police Act.
Unsurprisingly, privacy advocates decry the move as Orwellian and unlikely to achieve the alleged goal (fighting terrorism), but Mukhi's response to the concern is very telling about the priorities of the Indian government. "The question we need to ask ourselves is whether a breach of privacy is more important or the security of the nation. I do not think the above question needs an answer," he said.
But some believe that the terrorism angle is just a thin veil over the government's efforts to get more information on the casual activities of its citizens. As Indian blogger Amit Varma pointed out, terrorists utilize many different communication methods—in many different locations—in order to carry out operations. Therefore, shouldn't the police also be monitoring telephones, cars, homes, and hotel rooms? Instead, he believes the police may simply resell the data it collects from the cybercafés or perhaps use it to make arrests for smaller crimes. For example, a Bangalore man was arrested earlier this month for uploading "blasphemous" material to social networking site Orkut. The police needed 10 months to gather enough information in this case to justify the arrest—with such stringent monitoring software installed in cybercafés, carrying out arrests for this type of crime would make the process much more streamlined.
