Long-Term Review
2013 Mazda CX-5: Road Trip to New Orleans
Recently, I took our 2013 Mazda CX-5 on a road trip from Atlanta to New Orleans for some pre-wedding preparations. On the trip, my sisters and I noticed a few key things about the Mazda CX-5.
The driver's seat, for instance, makes a long trip very pleasant. It hugs you in all the right ways, without feeling constricting. There also are plenty of adjustable options, including lumbar support, in case you aren't initially satisfied. The back seat is very roomy, as well, which comes in handy for family outings where everyone needs their own space.
I also realized the full potential of a back-up camera during our visit to the busy French Quarter and surrounding areas. Most streets in New Orleans are packed with cars, and the only parking available is rather snug. Plus, almost all the parking requires you to parallel park. Thanks to the Mazda's rear parking camera, I was able to navigate my way into even the tightest spots, to the disbelief of my sisters, again and again.
The 2013 Mazda CX-5's in-car tech helps on a road trip, too. For example, I'm incredibly thankful for the ability to play Pandora through the Bluetooth feature. However, if you do eventually get sick of 1990s pop hits (or whatever Pandora channels you have) and want to venture back to your iTunes library, don't expect to be able to shuffle through. When my iPhone was connected to the Mazda via Bluetooth, I was only able to shuffle one song at a time, and then it would go back to the alphabetical list. Luckily, my sisters were there to switch up the songs. Without passengers, though, having to go from A to Z would have been a frustrating distraction.

Congrats again on the new house. Love the picture!
Welcome! Our first son, Anthony, was born in Nov 2003 with a rare liver disease called Biliary Atresia. He was transplanted with the left lobe of his Daddy's liver in March 2004. Our second son, Benjamin, was born in June 2008. Check often for updates on our two boys and the other goings on in our household.
Biliary atresia is a progressive inflammatory process that begins very soon after birth. In the most common form, called extrahepatic biliary atresia, the delicate ducts outside the liver are affected first. White blood cells invade the ducts, which become damaged and may whither or completely disappear. Bile is trapped inside the liver and rapidly causes damage and scarring to the liver cells. Further scarring of the liver tissue may result in cirrhosis.
On average, there is one case of biliary atresia out of every 15,000 live births. Females are affected slightly more often than males. In the United States, approximately 300 new cases are diagnosed each year.
The cause of biliary atresia is unknown. Auto-immune mechanisms may be partly responsible for the progressive process that takes place. Recent research suggests that a viral infection in susceptible infants could result in biliary atresia. About 10% of cases have other associated congenital defects in the heart, blood vessels, intestine, or spleen.
Although the cause is uncertain, it is known that biliary atresia affects only newborns; it is not hereditary; it is not contagious; and it is not preventable.
A surgical procedure called the Kasai (hepatoportoenterostomy) can be performed in hopes of saving the liver. With the Kasai, the liver is connected directly to the small intestine, circumventing the gall bladder. The Kasai is usually successful in 1/3 of cases, while the other 2/3 result in the need for a liver transplant. Anthony's team of doctors were unable to diagnose Anthony with biliary atresia, and the Kasai was never performed. We learned after his transplant that the Kasai would never have worked, and we would have traveled the same road to transplant.

Annual Meeting Coverage
2002 ASIST Award of Merit
Karen Sparck Jones, professor of computers and information at the Computer Laboratory at Cambridge University, is the 2002 winner of the ASIST Award of Merit. The citation honoring her and her work reads as follows:
Karen Sparck Jones has a long, rich and remarkable career in information science. As her nominator noted, It is remarkable, one might even say moving, that someone who co-authored a paper in one of the great founding collections of our discipline, the Proceedings of the 1958 International Conference on Scientific Information in Washington, DC, should still be an architect of information science more than 40 years later. She has made outstanding theoretical contributions to information retrieval and natural language processing and has built upon this theoretical framework through numerous experiments. Her work is among the most highly cited in the field. She has also been very instrumental in the design and implementation of TREC (Text REtrieval Conference) and has authored several major publications and has influenced a whole generation of researchers and practitioners. Dr. Jones continues to work with TREC and developers of Web search engines, and she has branched out into new areas, such as video retrieval based on speech. For her extraordinary contributions spanning six decades, the 2002 ASIST Award of Merit is presented to Karen Sparck Jones.
Karen Sparck Jones is professor of computers and information in the Computer Laboratory at the University of Cambridge. She can be reached by mail at William Gates Building, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FD, United Kingdom; by phone: (+44) 1223 334631; by fax: (+44) 1223 334611; or by e-mail: email@example.com
Dr. Jones was unable to attend the ASIST 2002 Annual Meeting. Her speech in acceptance of the honor was read by Edie Rasmussen, conference chair from the University of Pittsburgh.
It is a particular pleasure also, as someone from the other side of the pond, to be recognized by an American society. But as several of the names of previous recipients attest, though your society is American in name, it is not so in nature. These names (and your now adding mine) confirm the truly international character of our concerns. This has been a feature of research in automated information management right from the beginning as illustrated, for example, by the first conference I attended: the 1958 Washington International Conference on Scientific Information (ICSI), which had participants from Europe and the Soviet Union. I have been happy ever since to be a member of, and to collaborate with others in, this international community.
Thus the very widely used tf*idf (term frequency*inverse document frequency) form of term weighting is a combination of the late Gerard Salton's work on tf weighting in the 60s and mine on idf weighting in the early 70s. In 1976 my English colleague Stephen Robertson and I were glad to publish what has become a much cited and influential paper on relevance weighting in your journal. Now, the NIST/DARPA Text Retrieval Conferences (TRECs), the latest just underway at NIST, have brought researchers from all over the world to participate in large, well organized and highly productive IR evaluation experiments that have been significantly advancing the state of the art.
The work I have just mentioned also illustrates two other vital points about research in our field. One is that you can have a good idea but, even though computing technology may be advancing fast, it may be a while before the idea's time comes. Statistical approaches to IR were intellectually developed and given proof of concept quite early, in the 60s. But using them for real did not take off until the 90s. Older approaches to information systems had become entrenched and too costly to change. It took the new situation represented by the arrival of bulk full text and the Web to provide the clean slate opportunity to implement novel strategies: Alta Vista, for instance, started off with idf weighting. Now, after decades of being cried in the wilderness, statistical methods are delivering the goods, not only for mainstream document retrieval but for a whole range of other information management operations, like filtering (selective dissemination of information - SDI) for example.
This point connects with my third. When I compare the program for the 1964 conference of the then- American Documentation Institute, which I attended, with that for your current meeting there are, not surprisingly, some notable differences. The 1964 papers are more varied than one might suppose, more modern also than one might expect, and of course some topics are, for good reasons, extremely hardy perennials. But, setting aside the differences in format, the current conference is much bigger, with almost three times as many contributions and, more significantly, it is evident that technology has given us many more new things to do and to try.
One of the most important things that technology has given us is the bulk data for statistical methods to work, so we can derive meaningful content indicators from surface keys like using word occurrences and co-occurrences as clues to document content. This applies to the Web, too. Statistical clues mean that we can see the shape of the information forest through the billions of pages of information or sometimes misinformation trees. From this point of view the heterogeneity of the Web is high-class grist to the indexing mill. We are used to dealing with conventional text documents, but if the same sort of lexical combination occurs in an invoice, a memo, a meeting record and a picture caption, as in a technical report, it all helps to see what some organization or community is really doing.
This hodge-podge heterogeneity has its downside: I don't necessarily want a scrappy one-line lecture slide when I'm looking for an informative review of some topic. But the Web has also given some familiar devices a new and very effective form, most notably in hyperlinks. This is, of course, citation indexing writ large, but with a significant gain in both breadth and depth as a way of marking content relationships. But it is also noticeable that the system that was the first to really exploit this new and improved tool Google recognizes other document marks as significant as well.
We live in very exciting times only equaled, as I remember it, by those of the late 50s and early 60s, when we first began to apply computers to information management.
One of the new challenges I welcome is one implicit in what I have already said, namely how far you can push old ideas in new directions. This is well illustrated by the TREC enterprise. The TREC program has not only confirmed in very large tests that statistical methods work acceptably; it has also provided the opportunity to explore their application to new modes of document retrieval, like cross language or spoken document search, and has pushed into quite new areas like question answering. In its expansion TREC has attracted researchers from other areas, and it is significant that the ascendance of statistical approaches to information management in the last decade has been enriched by interaction between hitherto separate communities, as shown for example by the import of so-called (but misleadingly named) language modeling from speech recognition to document retrieval.
Other tasks, like information extraction, topic detection and tracking, and summarization have been addressed in TREC's sister (or perhaps I should say brother) government-sponsored programs, with their own evaluation scenarios. But the way in which those working on the different tasks trade ideas, techniques and tools has encouraged a whole ferment of research activity that gives substance to the claim that processing (and using) information is working it into a seamless web, not sticking it in a pigeonhole, as was too often presupposed in research or enforced in practice in the past. This new research is remaking connections adumbrated in the early days, as illustrated by the paper by Margaret Masterman, Roger Needham and myself presented at ICSI (my first paper), on the analogy between machine translation and information retrieval based on the use of a thesaurus, connections that were subsequently broken.
Statistical methods play an important part in these various tasks; but they can't all be done by statistical means alone. People used to think that document indexing required natural language processing (syntactic parsing and semantic interpretation), even artificial intelligence; but that has never been demonstrated for general-purpose retrieval systems. On the other hand it is clear that with more refined tasks like question answering or with other tasks like translation or summarizing in particular contexts when better quality than rock bottom is essential, we do need some proper language processing.
So one reason why this current research on a range of tasks is interesting is the intellectual one how to get statistical and non-statistical language processing to work together. This is not simply a matter of, for instance, making parsing more effective by enhancing it with statistically-based lexical preferences, or if parsing fails, defaulting to statistical collocations that can group some words together as complex concept indicators. It is about the much tougher matter of choosing a statistical or non-statistical strategy, on the fly, as appropriate to some specific, individual information-seeking situation. For example, trying to determine from a user's statement of information need what style of interpretation to apply. Is this input, at this point in an extended interactive session, actually a question or actually a search topic? Would this user be satisfied now with a simple extractive summary or a fancier constructed one?
This last example leads to the other reason for investigating ways of combining statistical and non-statistical processes. This is the very practical one that if we can do these various tasks automatically, and in different modes, rough or smooth, and we can build engines that can combine these capabilities, we are some good way to realizing the vision we all have of being able to offer people the flexible, integrated information systems we know they want. That is, where the user can move freely from initiating a cross-language document search, getting a question answered, having a set of selected text passages summarized, being given a filtering specification from the result, you name it.
We are already learning a lot from current researches and can see some of the results spreading into engineered prototypes and even into practical systems more rapidly than in the past. But much of the work in the evaluation programs I have referred to is laboratory study with sanitized, frozen, two-dimensional users. Doing proper evaluations with real users doing real things in real times, and with fancy multi-tasking systems as well, is now the big hurdle that's looming ever closer. So as a research community we have lots more to do: but of course that's what a researcher like me really likes!

Meanwhile, the bizarre incident on a dirt race track in upstate New York — captured on a graphic amateur video widely seen on the Internet — has unleashed a torrent of public debate about who might have been at fault in the fatality.
Philip Povero, the sheriff in rural Ontario County, N.Y., that has jurisdiction over the incident, reiterated Monday there were no charges pending against Stewart but that an investigation continued.
"There are no facts at this point that would support probable cause of any criminal behavior," Povero told a news conference, adding that "we are continuing to gather all information."
Povero said an autopsy of Ward revealed that the Lyons Falls, N.Y., driver died of massive blunt trauma to the head even though he was wearing a helmet. He was on foot when he was hit.
Asked whether there was any "bad blood" between Stewart and Ward, Povero replied, "Not that we're aware of." He also said Stewart was "available when necessary for additional interviews" by investigators.
Stewart, 43, was driving in a sprint-car race on a half-mile dirt track, Canandaigua Motorsports Park, in upstate New York when his car collided with Ward's, sending Ward's car into the fence.
The video showed that as the caution flag came out and the cars slowed, Ward climbed from his car and, while standing on the track, appeared to gesture with his right arm toward Stewart. After a couple of other cars went past Ward, he was struck by the right side of Stewart's car.
Sheriff's investigators were at the track to review the scene Monday and were looking into whether various factors might have played a role in the incident, such as the lighting at the track and that Ward was wearing a dark driving suit with white stripes down the side.
As the video of the incident went viral on the Internet, the public reaction was divided into four camps: Those who blamed Ward for standing in harm's way, those who thought Stewart was responsible, those who blamed both drivers and those who urged everyone to stop trying to find blame until the investigation is finished.
Another driver in the race, Cory Sparks, a friend of Ward, said he was a few cars back when Ward was killed.
"The timing was unsafe," Sparks said of Ward's decision to get out of his car, according to Associated Press. "When your adrenaline is going and you're taken out of a race, your emotions flare."
Some thought the video appeared to show Stewart's car fish-tailing from the rear and accelerating toward Ward, but others noted that sprint-car drivers on dirt often use the throttle as much as the steering wheel to turn. Povero said Sunday that there was no evidence of criminal intent on Stewart's part.
"None of us, even after the video, have any idea what happened," columnist Will Leitch wrote on the website Sports on Earth. "There is no way a person can watch this video — any video — and be able to tell precisely what went on."
Even so, the emotional reaction was heated. Jeremie Corcoran, the promoter at Canandaigua Motorsports Park, said in a statement that the track took down its Facebook page early Sunday morning "due to insensitive and hateful comments" about the incident.
As for Stewart's NASCAR career, a lot is riding on whether he decides to race Sunday at Michigan International Speedway.
Stewart already has missed one NASCAR race after pulling out of Sunday's event in Watkins Glen, N.Y., in the aftermath of the fatal incident. He is in 21st place in the driver standings and is in danger of missing NASCAR's Chase for the Cup playoff.
If Stewart misses more NASCAR races, it could mean continuing reduced exposure for his main sponsors, such as Mobil 1 motor oil and the Bass Pro Shops retail chain, which help pay the $20 million or so a year it costs to race his NASCAR car each year.
The decision about whether Stewart races at the two-mile Michigan oval, where he is a former winner, "will be Tony's and he will have as much time as he needs to make that decision," Stewart-Haas spokesman Mike Arning said via email.
"It is still an emotional time for all involved, Tony included," Arning said. "He is grieving and grief doesn't have a timetable."
ExxonMobil spokesman Christian Flathman said via email that "this is ultimately a decision for
In the meantime, Stewart canceled plans to drive in another sprint-car race, this one in Plymouth, Ind., on Saturday night.

Car Deals
Coupe Deals: August 2013
August is a good time to get a great new car deal thanks to a changing model year and increased incentives. We've listed today's top coupe deals on some popular new models for shoppers looking to add a sporty new car to their lives this month.
BMW 1 Series
The 2013 BMW 1 Series is a sporty, rear-wheel-drive coupe with four seats and compact dimensions. It's offered in three trim levels -- a base-level 128i, a sporty 135i and a high-performance 135is. All are available in August with 2.99-percent interest for up to 36 months. But the best lease deal is, not surprisingly, available on the 128i. Through the end of the month, qualified shoppers can lease the 128i for $359 per month for up to 36 months after putting down just over $4,000 at lease signing.
Chevrolet Corvette
The Chevrolet Corvette is a powerful sports car offered in coupe or convertible body styles. With a new model on the way, Chevrolet is using incentives to clear out inventory of the 2013 Corvette -- great news for shoppers interested in a good deal on the old model. Through the end of the month, incentives include 1.9-percent interest for up to 60 months for qualified drivers looking to finance, or $2,000 cash back for those paying in full.
Find a Chevrolet Corvette for sale
Honda Accord Coupe
The midsize 2013 Honda Accord Coupe is essentially a sportier, 2-door version of the brand's popular Accord sedan. In August, it's available with several special offers. The best deal is for qualified shoppers interested in financing, as Honda is offering 0.9-percent interest for up to 60 months. But lease shoppers can also take advantage of incentives this month. Through the end of August, such deals include payments from just $199 per month for 36 months -- requiring $3,299 down at lease signing -- or, for drivers who would rather put nothing down, $290 per month for 35 months.
Nissan 370Z
The Nissan 370Z is a high-performance 2-seater with bold styling and a muscular engine. In August, the 2013 370Z is offered with two impressive deals. For qualified drivers looking to finance the car, Nissan is offering 0-percent interest for up to 60 months. Better yet, that deal includes an "equipment allowance" for more than $3,000 -- essentially a gift card for drivers to add options. Those who would rather lease can also get a good deal in August, as Nissan is touting a 39-month lease term with payments from just $329 per month -- an offer that requires around $2,999 down at lease signing.
Scion tC
The Scion tC is a compact, front-wheel-drive coupe with seating for four passengers and recently updated styling. With its 179-horsepower 4-cylinder, the tC isn't as muscular as its sporty BRZ stablemate, but it's less expensive. That's especially true in August thanks to a lease deal Scion is offering on the tC. Through the end of the month, drivers can lease the coupe for 36 months with payments from $174 per month after $1,999 down at lease signing. That makes the tC more than $120 less expensive than the FR-S -- a hard deal to pass up, even with the FR-S's sporty character.
What it means to you: Some of today's best coupe deals are on several popular new models.

Yesterday evening we had some friends over, and they brought with them some missionaries to Australia who were staying with them. During the course of the evening, we discussed a horrifying law which was passed in the Australian state of Victoria in 2001, and which resulted in the trial of two Christians pastors for "vilifying Islam." The two pastors, converts from Islam (one a Pakistani who had previously been in trouble for violating the country's law against maligning Islam), held a seminar about Islam in 2002 in which they said that the Koran promotes violence and looting, demeans women, and calls for amputation for theft. (This link from JihadWatch has transcripts from the seminar.) All statements easily found in various Koranic verses (see links for references). But the judge refused to allow quotations from the Koran to serve as evidence, saying that to read from the Koran would be vilifying to Islam. Sounds like he already made up his mind before hearing the case. This link quotes a British journalist's take on other inconsistencies and injustices in the case. The pastors were found guilty and sentenced to four years in jail. The case is currently on appeal, including a request by the Muslim organization that brought the case that the pastors and the organization should publicly recant their statements, but the pastors are unapologetic.
The good news is that this case has shown Australians the danger of "antivilification" laws, increasing the likelihood that a similar law will not be passed in other states (one is currently before the legislature in New South Wales), and raising calls for its repeal. We'll see how far that gets. Unbelievably, many Australian Christians claim to have been unaware of the potential of this law when it was first passed. (Who else would modern tolerance-mongers want to silence?)
This kind of absurd and oppressive law is not far from America. Already Muslim advocacy groups like CAIR are bringing anti-defamation suits against groups that oppose them. There are plenty of groups, including homosexuals, who would like to limit Christians' ability to proclaim the Bible's truth because it's offensive to their ears. We've already heard rhetoric about "hate speech" directed at prominent Christian leaders who speak out against Islam or the homosexual lifestyle. And since the Supreme Court has already ruled the flag-burning and pornography are protected speech, but prayer in school or before a football game is forbidden, it's not hard to foresee a twisted interpretation of the First Amendment which claims that truthful statements about other religions are too hateful and offensive to be allowed.
Christianity and Islam are mutually exclusive religions. Both make absolute truth claims, describing followers of other religions as lost souls destined for hell, and denouncing those who contradict their scriptures. Freedom of religion ought to mean that members of both religions are free to preach whatever they want, short of actually inciting violence against the others. If someone is so thin-skinned as to be offended by a truthful (or even an untruthful) description of his religion, he should stay indoors. But this isn't about "offensiveness." It's about a carefully planned campaign by Muslims to make themselves the dominant religion and culture in the West, as they are in their own world, by slowly removing the ability of anyone to speak out against them. It's forbidden by sharia law to criticize Mohammed or the Koran. Pretty soon, it will be illegal in the West too.
I understand Muslims wanting to take over the world. It's the natural result of an absolute religious belief. The Bible promises that Jesus will rule the world. The big difference is, I'm not going to use violence to bring that about. The Truth is strong enough without human force.

Fresh off a weekend victory in Portland, Vancouver Whitecaps FC reserves (3W-1L-1D) extended their lead at the top of the MLS Reserve League's West Division standings with a 2-1 victory at Pacific Northwest rivals Seattle Sounders FC reserves (1W-3L-1D) on Friday evening.
Two headed goals by Carlyle Mitchell gave the 'Caps reserves a second straight Reserve League win, with all of Vancouver's reserve team victories coming away from home this season. Though Seattle pulled a late goal back through substitute Dominique Dismuke, Paul Ritchie's side held on to claim all three points at Starfire Sports Stadium in Tukwila, Washington.
Vancouver kept faith with many of the players that put in a fine performance in defeating Portland Timbers reserves last Sunday afternoon, and it was the visitors that looked the brighter side early on. Sounders FC reserve goalkeeper Andrew Weber made an important stop from Darren Mattocks' close-range header on 14 minutes before Omar Salgado struck a shot wide of the target for the Blue and White.
A big story from Friday's reserve match was the return to action of Seattle winger Steve Zakuani for the first time since he suffered a leg fracture in a Major League Soccer match at Colorado Rapids in April 2011. His speed and quickness made him a handful for the visitors in the first half, with Whitecaps FC reserves goalkeeper Brad Knighton making a fingertip save to deny Zakuani after he latched on to a Weber clearance on 21 minutes.
The 'Caps second string took the lead on 26 minutes, with Mitchell scoring his second Reserve League goal of the season. The Trinidad & Tobago international finished a downward header from Michael Nanchoff's corner to give Vancouver a 1-0 halftime lead. Vancouver nearly extended their advantage before the break, while Seattle's David Estrada went close to equalizing with a 44th-minute header from a Christian Sivebaek cross.
The second half saw plenty of end-to-end action, with Weber denying Mattocks one-on-one on 54 minutes, while Seattle youngster Aaron Kovar forced Knighton into a good save five minutes later. Whitecaps FC reserves sealed victory with a second head goal of the night from Mitchell on 72 minutes. The Caribbean centre back was left unmarked at the far post to head home Floyd Franks' free kick from 30 yards out and extend Vancouver's lead to 2-0. It was Mitchell's third Reserve League goal of 2012, with all his strikes coming against Sounders FC reserves.
Though they were two goals down, Seattle made it a grandstand finish by pulling a goal back on 81 minutes. A pair of Sounders FC Academy players combined for the consolation strike, as Kovar's byline cross was slotted home by Dismuke to cut Vancouver's lead to 2-1. Seattle then had a chance to equalize on 88 minutes, but Knighton did brilliantly to deny Michael Seamon and Servando Carrasco before the final whistle confirmed a third away win for Ritchie's side.
"It was a fantastic result and I thought the players acquitted themselves very well," Ritchie told whitecapsfc.com after Friday's win. "To come away from home and get a victory against a very good Seattle team is fantastic for the players. Very similar to Sunday in Portland, we played some great stuff in the first half and created a number of chances that we didn't take before hanging on at the end. We chatted with the players about game management and seeing games out, but they are learning all the time, especially the younger players."
Whitecaps FC reserves are back in Reserve League action on Tuesday, June 12, when they host LA Galaxy reserves at Thunderbird Stadium on the campus of the University of British Columbia (UBC). Kickoff is set for 11 a.m. PT. The 'Caps second string also have two more home matches remaining this season at UBC Thunderbird Stadium - Monday, July 23, against Chivas USA reserves and Monday, September 10, against San Jose Earthquakes reserves. Kickoff for those two matches is also 11 a.m. PT. Admission to all Reserve League home matches is free of charge.

Most BMW sedans get a thorough "M" treatment from the company's iconic Motorsport division, but the full-size BMW 7 Series is the exception. There has never been an M7, as the engineers have always felt that the 7 Series just doesn't fit the mold. Instead, BMW asked Alpina, a German aftermarket tuner, to whip the 7 Series into shape. The result, known as the BMW Alpina B7, is essentially a 7 series with big wheels, better brakes, firmer suspension settings and -- oh yeah -- a wickedly powerful engine.
There have been two generations of the limited-production Alpina B7. The first, based on the previous-generation 7 Series, featured a supercharged V8, while today's B7 is based on the current 7 Series with its twin-turbo V8. These cars aren't as uncompromising as an M7 would be, but that makes sense given the 7 Series' refined character. Rather, the B7 adds civilized helpings of speed and style to what is already a very accomplished luxury sedan.
Current BMW Alpina B7
The current Alpina B7 is offered in standard-wheelbase 750i or long-wheelbase 750Li trim, with BMW's "xDrive" all-wheel drive optional on both. Power comes from a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 that's been massaged to produce 540 horsepower and 538 pound-feet of torque. Running through an eight-speed automatic transmission, this powerhouse vaults the B7 to 60 mph in 4.3 seconds, according to BMW.
The B7's other standard features are similarly impressive, including distinctive 21-inch Alpina wheels, a lowered suspension, a unique front airdam, a rear spoiler, unique interior wood accents, blue gauges with red needles, quad-zone automatic climate control, heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, front and rear parking sensors, the iDrive electronics interface with navigation and a Harman Kardon surround-sound audio system. A dual-screen rear entertainment system is optional, and the long-wheelbase model offers a Luxury Rear Seating package with twin power-adjustable massaging rear seats.
During our seat time in the current BMW Alpina B7, we've quickly warmed to its split personality. On long highway drives, the B7 is as comfortable and refined as any 7 Series, insulating passengers from the outside world and delivering them relaxed and refreshed at their destination. But when the mood strikes on a curvy back road, the B7's phenomenal V8 thrust and sharp chassis provide one of the greatest thrill rides possible in a large luxury sedan. Judged purely on performance, the Alpina isn't quite the top dog in this class, but buyers should also factor in the exclusivity guaranteed by its minuscule production numbers. If you've got the bankroll, the B7 is bound to make you smile.
Used BMW Alpina B7 Models
The current, second-generation Alpina B7 debuted for the 2011 model year. Unlike its rear-drive, short-wheelbase predecessor, it could be had in either long- or short-wheelbase form with rear- or all-wheel drive. The transmission was initially a six-speed automatic, while the twin-turbo V8 was rated at 500 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque -- same as the previous supercharged V8. The eight-speed automatic and current output levels were introduced for 2013, as were modest styling tweaks, a few additional options and the latest iDrive interface.
The first-generation BMW Alpina B7 was produced for the 2007-'08 model years. It was based on the short-wheelbase version of the fourth-generation 7 Series. Standard features included 21-inch wheels, upgraded brakes, a body kit with integrated rear spoiler, steering-wheel-mounted shift buttons, an early version of iDrive and a few aesthetic upgrades in the cabin. Other standard equipment was identical with that on the ultra-luxurious 760Li, which means it had just about every feature in BMW's bag of tricks.
Under the hood, a radial supercharger -- the first of its kind in any production car -- bumped the output of BMW's 4.4-liter V8 to 500 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque, a huge increase from the stock 325 hp and 330 lb-ft. The sole available transmission was a six-speed automatic that sent power to the rear wheels. Although the B7 wasn't the swiftest car in its segment (a distinction that belonged to the mind-numbingly rapid Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG), its estimated 0-60 mph sprint of 5.0 seconds still put it in very special company, as did its top speed of 186 mph. Our editors were also impressed with Alpina's suspension tweaks, which helped the original B7 feel responsive and composed in virtually every situation.
Used first-generation BMW Alpina B7s are few and far between. Interested parties should keep in mind that there were no changes made during its short life.

of the upgraded Webmail system
e new Webmail system is based on the most recent version of
Microsoft's Outlook Web Access product. This new version does
require a faster connection (more bandwidth) in order to take
full advantage of the new features and enhancements. As a
result, it is possible that users of certain dial-up Internet
connections may feel as if the new Webmail system runs
A broadband Internet connection such as a cable modem or
DSL will provide the optimal means by which to use Webmail to
it's fullest extent. If, however, you are limited to a dial-up
Internet connection, there are a few things you can do to
maximize the speed of your Webmail experience.
First, consider choosing the "basic" Webmail interface on
the main Webmail login screen. The basic Webmail interface
functions very closely to the previous version of Webmail.
While many of the new features and enhancements are not
available in the basic interface, it should run noticeably
faster over a dial-up connection than the premium interface.
Note that you must use Internet Explorer 5.5 or above to use
the premium interface. If you use any other Web browser, you
will automatically be taken to the basic interface.
Second, make certain your computer is clean of viruses and
spyware. Even if a virus or piece of spyware is not causing
any apparent physical harm, it can still be consuming
bandwidth in your Internet connection. This may go unnoticed
in a broadband connection. On a dialup connection, however,
spyware and viruses can consume a significant percentage of
your available bandwidth. The CLC recommends the program "Spybot Search & Destroy" from Safer
Networking for detection and cleaning of spyware. A link to
this program, as well as the CLC's information on virus
scanning are below.
Lastly, if you must use a dial-up Internet connection, make
certain that it is from an ISP that actively maintains its
dial-up infrastructure in order to ensure you are getting the
fastest and cleanest connection possible over your phone

Wireless Network
The Chicago-Kent Library is now
The Center for Law & Computers is pleased to announce
the unveiling of Chicago-Kent's Wireless Network. The
implementation of the wireless infrastructure provides
complete connectivity and access to all law school network
resources (e.g. email, printing, and home directory) in the
following areas of the building:
The configuration of laptop computers and wireless cards
will be automatic. The configuration process will be seamless
and will happen during the normal client login to the network
through the wired Ethernet connection. The wireless system at
the law school uses the same username/password that
Faculty\Staff\Students use to access email and other network
If you do not have built-in wireless, the recommended
wireless adapters shown below will be available in the
bookstore by February 5th, 2005.

Loaner Laptop
The CLC Help Desk does provide the service of temporarily
loaning laptops to students. This service is restricted to
those who have purchased their own laptop and the laptop has
been serviced by a technician at the CLC Help
Desk. Once the technician has
determined that the laptop needs to be sent to the
manufacturer for repairs or is inoperable a student will be
loaned a laptop. The laptop loans are for a one (1) week
period only. In addition, the CLC Help Desk
does not loan power adaptors or any other laptop
accessories for laptops. In order for this service to
benefit everyone, this policy must be strictly adhered to.
Once a user returns a laptop, that same user cannot have
another laptop loaned to him/her for at least two (2)
consecutive weeks.

Procedure at CLC Help Desk- all
students are required to show their Chicago-Kent ID card
Help Desk Procedure: All students are required to
show their Chicago-Kent ID card
Since October 11th, 2004 the CLC Help Desk has
implemented a procedure that requires all students to present
their Chicago-Kent ID card for service. This procedure will
also apply to receiving any computer related loaner equipment.
The Help Desk will make a photocopy of student's ID when
loaner equipment is requested. The procedure was implemented
to best serve the needs of the Chicago-Kent student's.
Thank you for your cooperation.
system for Chicago-Kent
Since August 16th, 2004 the CLC has implemented an
anti-spam system for Chicago-Kent e-mail. The system is a
dedicated e-mail processing server. It requires no additional
software on your computer.
All incoming e-mail to @kentlaw.edu e-mail addresses will
be routed to the anti-spam server. The server will analyze
each message using a variety of factors and then "tag" the
message as one of three possible categories: legitimate mail,
possible spam, and definite spam. Messages categorized as
"legitimate mail" are, of course, forwarded straight through
to Chicago-Kent's normal e-mail servers. Mail that is
categorized as "definite spam" is discarded by the anti-spam
server. Messages that the system is less certain about are
categorized as "possible spam." These messages will have
[POSSIBLE SPAM] inserted into the beginning of their subject
The system that is in place continuously "learns" which
messages are spam as it analyzes the incoming e-mail to
Chicago-Kent. As time passes, the system will become more and
more adept at recognizing "definite" spam. It is anticipated
that all users of Chicago-Kent's e-mail will see significant
reduction in the amount of erroneous e-mail messages as this
process occurs. The CLC will continue to monitor and fine tune
the system for optimal performance.
Please contact the CLC Help Desk if you have any questions
or concerns regarding the Anti-SPAM system.
Web pages naming
Web File Naming Conventions
Chicago-Kent's main web pages are located on a UNIX based
server and certain conventions must be followed. All files and
directories (folders) must be one word; no spaces! Also, do
not use any special characters such as apostrophes ('), quotes
("), exclamation points (!), etc. The use of hyphens (-) and
underscores (_) is allowable. All files should end with an
.html extension, not .htm
The use of spaces and special characters places an extra
burden on the computing resources of the school when
attempting to locate the correct file. The spaces and special
characters also interfere with normal web server
To present more readable file names, you may mix the case
of the letters, use an underscore, or hyphen in the name;
SomeFileName, AnotherFileName, some-file-name or
You should also be aware of the End-Of-Line settings.
Please be sure this is set to UNIX and not Windows
Top three ways to stop spam
Never respond to unsolicited email. Spammers will use your
reply, even your unsubscribe messages, as evidence that the
email address is valid.
Never buy anything advertised in spam. Most of it is
fraudulent anyway and successful sales only encourage the
practice to continue.
Never post your email address publicly on the Web. Spammers
have ways to collect and use these email addresses.
Windows Update
It is critical to update your Windows operating
system and Internet Explorer software regularly.
Just as it is important to update the virus definitions of
your antivirus software, it is equally important to update the
Windows operating system and Internet Explorer software on
your computer. Just like virus definitions, Windows and
Internet Explorer should be updated weekly. Fortunately,
Microsoft makes this process fast and easy with their фWindows
Updateц web site.
Open your Internet Explorer web browser and click on
Tools ->Windows
On the Windows Update welcome screen, click the
Scan for Updates link.
When your computer has finished scanning for updates, it
will group the updates into three categories visible on the
left side of the screen. The categories are Critical Updates
and Service Packs, Windows XP (or 2000 or 98), and Driver
Updates. Click on the link for Critical Updates and
Service Packs. You should always install any updates
Microsoft releases as фcritical.ц Never
click on the Driver Updates link!
You will now see a list of all the critical updates needed
by your computer. Click on the Review and Install

Remove unnecessary files on
The Center for Law and Computers provides access to the
Network for Chicago-Kent students, faculty, and staff in
support of the educational mission of the university. In
recent months we have noticed an increase in the amount of
personal storage space being consumed on our network. As we
continue to maintain and scan the network drives we are
noticing numerous occurrences of non-educational types of
materials (i.e., MP3, .wav, .mov, .avi). We understand that
there are occasions when storing these types of files on the
network for educational use is legitimate.
As you may well be aware, the recent court decisions
potentially makes us liable if members of our community engage
in infringing activity. As a reminder to all students, a
portion of the IIT Computer Use Policy states, "Network users
must abide by the terms of all software licensing agreements
and copyright laws, and may not make copies of or make
available on the network copyrighted material, unless
permitted by a license. Network users must not perform acts
which are deliberately wasteful of computing resources or
which unfairly monopolize resources to the exclusion of
others..." The complete Computer User Policy can be found at:
When you save and store large music, image, video, or other
types of non-educational related material on the network it
increases the time it takes for system backups and virus
scanning; the large downloads also consume unnecessary
bandwidth. Please be considerate of
your colleagues and remove or transfer to your laptop ALL
files in violation. If files are not removed, the
Center for Law and Computers is authorized by the
administration to permanently remove them for you.
We ask that you purge all unnecessary messages and files as
often as possible from your network and email accounts to help
us preserve space on the C-K server. As a reminder, in Outlook
mail, you must delete messages from your "Deleted Messages"
folder for them to be permanently removed from the mail
server. It is also a good maintenance procedure to delete any
unneeded messages in the "Sent" folder.
Standard monthly network

management on systems that need to be rebooted.
Remember too that there may be "emergency" times when
manufacturers release "critical" update patches that need to
be installed immediately. The CLC will make every attempt to
send out an announcement in advance when the "critical"
updates need to be installed and systems rebooted (however, we
cannot always guarantee advance notice since certain
patches/updates need to be applied ASAP before a breach is
All network services including Internet access, email,
webmail, network drives, and network printing will be down

A word about Recent Viruses, Worms and Trojans.
McAfee is our Virus scanning application that is used
throughout Chicago-Kent. According to McAfee's web site there
are more then 62,000 virus threats that exist and new ones are
found everyday. Viruses and backdoor Trojans can cause major
disruptions and financial loss. The Melissa, I love You,
Goner, Code Red and many others have impacted many
organizations to the point that even Microsoft had to turn off
their e-mail systems until the virus could be contained. The
newer forms of viruses (Backdoor Trojans) are even more
devastating by actually giving someone else complete control
of your computer and access to all the information stored on
There are things that you can do to protect your computer.
You can protect yourself by running a full virus scan of all
the files on your computer periodically. Ensuring that you
have the latest updates from the vendor. Avoid programs from
unknown sources (Internet and Email). Never open or
double-click on an attachment that is from an unknown
The Center for Law and Computers posts Virus Updates to
your computer desktop as they are released from the vendor or
you can access them directly from McAfees web site when

Printing on KENTNET
The Center for Law and Computers has implemented print
accounting software which allows you to:
1. Send print jobs to queue -- This feature allows you to
send print jobs to the print station at the front of each lab
where they are held in queue until you release them. In
addition, you are able to send multiple print jobs to the
queue and they are held until you release them at the print
2. You are able to check the balance of your print account
-- This feature allows you to look at the number of copies you
have remaining for the term (note: each student is allotted
400 pages per semester; additional pages beyond the 400 are
billed at $.05 per page)
Your 400 page limit is reset at the beginning of each
The release station will release
all print jobs sent under your username. When your print jobs
are listed you have the opportunity to delete them before
actually sending them to print.
If you have questions, please email email@example.com or
call 906-5300.
The principle printers in the KENTNET system are
Hewlett-Packard LaserJet 8000N Printers. There is one printer
in each lab 700, 760 and 900 that is set up as the default
printer when you sign on in that lab.
Individual Student Printing Accounts:
Each student receives 400 pages of printing per semester.
Any printing past 400 pages will be charged to your student
printing account at .05 per page. You must settle your student
account with the Bursar's Office before receiving your
400 page allotment for the following semester. Students with
outstanding balances will have their Kentnet accounts
deactivated until the balance is paid. Graduating students
with a delinquent printing balance will not receive
their diplomas until the accounts are paid in full.
If you print work for a faculty member, you must print out
a detailed balance and have the faculty member sign for their
pages. Present the signed balance sheet to the Help Desk in
the Center for Law and Computers (Room 540). Your print
account will be credited accordingly.
Print jobs that are sent to the Document Center printer
(9th floor-library) require payment when picked up.
Please report any problems with printers or printing to the
Help Desk by Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
or in house phone number 6-5300.
Virus Detection Software
It Is Critical to Update Your Virus Detection Software
As always, it is a good idea to update the virus protection
software on your personal computer periodically to catch any
new viruses lurking out there in cyber world Since we have a
volume license to McAfee Virus Scan, each student,
faculty and staff should have a copy of this software on
his/her computer. (It is free to C-K students so...No excuse
not to have it!)
The Center for Law and Computers takes a proactive stance
in trying to eradicate viruses by cleaning them as they come
through our servers, we cannot protect each individual PC. We
are asking that you also be proactive to ensure that your PC
does not become infected.
Because there are new virus outbreaks DAILY, we want to
stress the importance of having the latest virus protection
software and updated virus definition (.DAT) files. We'd also
like to remind you that regular virus scans of all drives
(weekly, if possible) are necessary in order to detect and
clean any viruses so they are not sent to friends and/or
Chicago-Kent is licensed for and supports McAfee Virus Scan
from Network Associates. According to information on their web
site, there are over 50,000+ viruses out there and the
potential for damage is continuous. We here at the Center for
Law and Computers want to make sure you have the best possible
protection for your PC. Please follow the manual instructions
below to install the latest virus definition updates (.DAT
files) for your McAfee software.
Manual Instructions:
FIRST: Check to see that
you have a recent version of the virus scanning software on
your computer.
NOTE: For
Windows XP and 2000 users only
You can do this by clicking on the small blue and red
"VShield " icon in the lower right corner of your screen with
the right mouse button. When you do, a small menu will pop up.
Select the "About VirusScan Enterprise" choice in this menu by

After clicking "About VirusScan Enterprise" you will
get a box that displays several numbers. There are two
important numbers that you should be concerned with. The first
number is in boldface and located next to the phrase
"VirusScan Enterprise" toward the top. This number tells you
what version of the Virus Scan product or "engine" you are
running. You should be running some version of 7.x for windows
xp professional and windows 2000. The second number you should
be concerned with in the "About VirusScan Enterprise" box is
the number next to the phrase "Virus definitions." The last
four digits of this number tell you the version of the ".DAT"
you are running. As an example, the picture below is from a PC
that is running version 7.1.0 of the Virus Scan product and
version 4281 of the virus definitions (.DAT files).
NOTE: For
Windows 98 and ME users only
You can do this by clicking on the small blue and red
"VShield" icon in the lower right corner of your screen with
the right mouse button. When you do, a small menu will pop up.
Select the "About" choice in this menu by clicking on it once
with the left mouse button.
After clicking "About" you will get a box that displays
several numbers. There are two important numbers that you
should be concerned with. The first number is in boldface and
located next to the phrase "McAfee Virus Scan" toward the top
of the box's gray area. This number tells you what version of
the Virus Scan product or "engine" you are running. You should
be running some version of 4.x. Any version of 3.x is too old
and should be updated to a later version, please call the Help
Desk to schedule an update. The second number you should be
concerned with in the "About" box is the number next to the
phrase "Virus definitions." The last four digits of this
number tell you the version of the ".DAT" you are running. As
an example, the picture below is from a PC that is running
version 4.5.1 of the Virus Scan product (engine) and version
4250 of the virus definitions (.DAT files).
SECOND: Install the latest virus
definition updates on your computer.
These procedures may force a reboot of
your computer. In order to avoid loss of data, close all
programs except Outlook before completing any of the following
While signed on to the C-K network, run the update with the
following three steps:
Once the "SuperDat" update program starts, click on "Next."
You may be prompted to restart your computer.
THIRD: Run a virus scan
on your PC.
This will begin the scanning process. It will check all the
files on the drive you designated. It may take a few minutes
to several hours depending on the speed of your computer and
the number of files you have. Your patience will pay off,
remember you will be preventing problems in the future.
Note: The above procedures can be used in the future to
update your .DAT files.

A Word About MS Windows XP
On October 25, 2001, Microsoft released the newest version
of their Windows operating system called Windows XP. This new
operating system comes in two distinct editions: Windows XP
Home Edition and Windows XP Professional. Please be aware that
while Windows XP Home Edition can connect to the Internet, it
can not in any way be made to connect to corporate networks
such as the Chicago-Kent LAN. A computer running the Home
Edition of Windows XP will not be able to access network
printers, network drives such as H: home directories, and
e-mail via Microsoft Outlook.
It is for these reasons that the Center for Law and
Computers recommends that anyone purchasing a new machine
positively confirm the operating system with their vendor.
Computers that are available only with Windows XP
pre-installed should only be purchased if it is Windows XP
Professional, NOT Windows XP Home Edition.
Windows 98 and Windows 2000 Professional continue to be
fully compatible with the Chicago-Kent network.
Email Stations
The Email stations located throughout the building are
intended to allow students convenient and quick access to
Email and the Record. Please be considerate to your fellow
students when using these stations. If you want to compose
many or long messages, or browse the Internet at length,
please use one of the 3 computer labs in the library. Thank
you for your cooperation.
Computer Labs
Lab 900 is on the ninth floor of the library at the west
end of the building and has 12 computers. Turn left when you
enter the library through the ninth floor entrance. The
printer for the ninth floor lab is in Room 986, in the corner
of the area.
Lab 700, the large, glass-walled room on the seventh floor
of the library, is the largest lab, with 30 computers. This
lab is sometimes used for larger research classes and it is
always used for exams. LEXIS-NEXIS and WESTLAW representatives
conduct office hours in Lab 700. The schedule of their office
hours will be posted weekly in the Record. They can help you
with online research questions.
Lab 760, also on the seventh floor of the library, is
equipped with 20 computers. It is often used for research
From time to time, the law school schedules classes or
exams in the labs. When this occurs, a sign will be posted
outside the door of the lab. Please be considerate and use one
of the other labs during these scheduled activities.

A Word About Microsoft Operating
Beginning with Windows ME in calendar year
2000, Microsoft began implementing a strategy of
tailoring certain versions of their Windows operating
systems specifically toward consumer markets. Windows ME
and certain future versions of the Windows operating
system include multimedia and "ease of use" features
that are designed to make the use of a Windows based
computer a more engaging experience in the home.
While this may sound enticing, it is
important to realize that the "consumer" versions of
Windows are not designed to exist in a corporate network
environment like that at Chicago-Kent. In fact, the
"consumer" version of Microsoft's latest operating
system, Windows XP Home Edition, does not include any
capability to connect to corporate networks.
So where does this leave you? At the time
of these specifications writing, the Center for Law and
Computers recommends Windows 2000 Professional or
Windows XP Professional (Professional being the KEY word
here) as the best all-around operating systems for new
notebook computer purchases. If neither is available,
then Windows 98 would be the next best choice followed
by Windows ME as a last option. For students who already
own a notebook, any edition of Windows 98 along with
Windows 2000 Professional and XP Professional can be
configured to connect to the Chicago-Kent network.
Existing Windows ME notebooks can be configured to
connect to the network through some additional work by
computer support staff. Desktop users are encouraged to
remain with the operating system that is presently on
their PC.

FERPA Online Library
|MS Word (29 KB)
March 2, 2005
Dr. Pascal D. Forgione, Jr.
Austin Independent School District
1111 West 6th Street
Austin, Texas 78703-5300
Dear Dr. Forgione:
This is in response to your January 25, 2005, request for technical assistance under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). You state that the District has received a request for information from students' education records that raises confidentiality concerns under FERPA, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Section 504. Specifically, the District has received a request from a third party for information on students in the deaf education program so that the party (a cheerleading company for the deaf) may send the students recruitment letters. This Office administers the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and is responsible for providing technical assistance to educational agencies and institutions to ensure compliance with the statute and regulations (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99).
FERPA applies to an educational agency or institution that receives funds under any program administered by the Secretary of Education, which includes virtually all public school districts. 34 CFR § 99.1. An educational agency or institution subject to FERPA may not have a policy or practice of disclosing education records, or non-directory personally identifiable information from education records, without the prior written consent of the parent or eligible student1 except as provided by law. 20 U.S.C. § 1232g(b); 34 CFR Subpart D. "Education records" are defined as "those records, files, documents, and other materials which -
- contain information directly related to a student; and
- are maintained by an educational agency or institution or by a person acting for such agency or institution.
20 U.S.C. § 1232g(a)(4)(i) and (ii). See also 34 CFR § 99.3 "Education records."
An agency or institution that collects, maintains, or uses personally identifiable information, or from which information is obtained, under Part B of IDEA is also a "participating agency" subject to the Part B Confidentiality of Information requirements codified at 34 CFR § 300.560 - 300.577. See 34 CFR § 300.560(c). These requirements contain many of the same provisions that exist in FERPA and apply, along with FERPA, to any public school district that provides Part B services to students. The records of a student which pertain to services provided to that student under IDEA are "education records" under FERPA and are subject to the confidentiality provisions under IDEA (see 34 CFR § 300.560-300.576) and to all of the provisions of FERPA. Please note that while Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 is a federal law designed to protect the rights of individuals with disabilities in programs and activities that receive federal funds from the U.S. Department of Education, it does not generally address the disclosure of personally identifiable information from student's education records.
An exception to FERPA's prior consent rule is the disclosure of information that has been appropriately designated as "directory information" by educational agencies and institutions. FERPA defines directory information as "information contained in an education record of a student which would not generally be considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if disclosed." 34 CFR 99.3 ("Directory Information"). Directory information includes, but is not limited to, the following items:
student's name, address, telephone listing, electronic mail address, photograph, date and place of birth, major field of study, dates of attendance, grade level, enrollment status (e.g., undergraduate or graduate; full-time or part-time), participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height of members of athletic teams, degrees, honors and awards received, and the most recent educational agency or institution attended.
See Family Educational Rights and Privacy; Final Rule, 65 Fed. Reg. 41853, July 6, 2000.
A school may disclose directory information to third parties if it has given public notice of the types of information which it has designated as "directory information," the parent's or eligible student's right to refuse to let the school designate any or all of the types of information about the student as directory information, and the period of time within which a parent or eligible student has to notify the school in writing that he or she does not want any or all of those types of information designated as "directory information." 20 U.S.C. § 1232g(b)(5)(B); 34 CFR § 99.37(a). The Department has consistently advised that social security numbers and other student identifiers cannot be designated as "directory information" because disclosure of such information generally would be considered an invasion of privacy. Likewise, we have advised that categories of information such as race, ethnicity, and disability may not be designated as "directory information" for the same reason. Please note that, under FERPA, a school may not disclose the names, addresses, and other "directory information" that is linked to non-directory information. For instance, a school may not disclose "directory information" on all students who are receiving services under IDEA or, like in the case before us, all children in the deaf education program.
In sum, FERPA would not permit the District to disclose the requested information to the requesting third party, without consent. However, please note that nothing in FERPA would prohibit the District from obtaining the recruitment information from the third party and providing it to the students and parents.
I trust that the above information is helpful in explaining the scope and limitations of FERPA as it relates to your inquiry. Please do not hesitate to contact us again if you need further assistance.

[1] "Eligible student" means a student who has reached 18 years of age or is attending an institution of postsecondary institution at any age. See 34 CFR § 99.3 "Eligible student." The rights under FERPA belong to the parents of students under the age of 18 at the elementary/secondary level and transfer to the student when he or she becomes an "eligible student."

A European approach to nuclear power, safety and security
It is for each member state to decide whether to use nuclear power. Nuclear power can have an important role to play in the European Union's energy mix: but it is important to continue to address issues surrounding safety and security. In recognition of this, the European Commission has proposed the establishment of an EU High Level Group of national nuclear regulators in order to further develop a common understanding and European rules in the field of nuclear safety and security.
According to Article 40 of the Euratom Treaty, the European Commission must publish an illustrative nuclear programme on a regular basis. To that effect the Commission presented a Communication reviewing the investments in nuclear energy for the past ten years, describing the economics of nuclear power generation, its impacts on the energy mix as well as its conditions for social acceptance.
It is for each Member State to decide whether or not to rely on nuclear power for the generation of electricity. Decisions to expand nuclear energy were recently taken in Finland and in France. Other EU countries, including the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, Czech Republic, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Slovakia, the United Kingdom, Bulgaria and Romania have re-launched a debate on their nuclear energy policy. With 152 reactors spread over the EU 27, nuclear power contributes 30% of Europe's electricity today - however, if the planned phase-out policy within some EU Member States continues, this share will be significantly reduced. To meet the expected energy demand and to reduce European dependency on imports, decisions could be made on new investments or on the life extension of some plants.
Reinforcing nuclear power generation could also represent one option for reducing CO2 emissions and play a major role in addressing global climate change. Nuclear power is essentially carbon emissions-free and forms part of the Commission's carbon reduction scenario including the objective of reducing CO2 emissions. This could also feature as an important consideration when discussing future emissions trading schemes.
The most crucial factor affecting the prospect of growth of nuclear power is its underlying economics as a nuclear plant involves an up front investment ranging from €2 to €3 billion. Nuclear energy generation incurs higher construction costs in comparison to fossil fuels, yet operating costs are significantly lower following the initial investments. Furthermore, nuclear power generation is largely immune to changes in the cost of raw material supplies, as a modest amount of uranium, which comes largely from stable regions of the world, can keep a reactor running for decades. Therefore, in most industrialised countries new nuclear power plants offer an economic way to generate base-load electricity.
The nuclear industry has made considerable investments since 1997. The EU recognises the importance of maintaining a technological lead in the field of nuclear power and supports the further development of the most advanced framework for nuclear energy, including non-proliferation, waste management and decommissioning. Since the establishment of the Euratom Treaty, nuclear safety and the radiological protection of the public have been one of the main concerns of the European Community and are issues that have gained further importance in view of the past and the present enlargement.
At EU level, the role should be to develop further the most advanced framework for nuclear energy in those Member States that choose nuclear power, in conformity with the highest standards of safety, security and non-proliferation as required by the Euratom Treaty. This should include nuclear waste management and decommissioning.
