WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Factory activity grew the most in nearly two years in January and the number of new claims for jobless benefits dropped to a five-year low last week, giving surprisingly strong signals on the economy's pulse.
Financial information firm Markit on Thursday said its preliminary Purchasing Managers Index for manufacturing rose to 56.1 this month, its best showing since March 2011. A reading above 50 indicates expansion.
A separate report from the Labor Department showed initial claims for state unemployment benefits fell by 5,000 to 330,000, the lowest since January 2008 when the 2007-2009 recession had just begun.
Together, the data suggest the economy entered the new year with some underlying momentum despite an ongoing political battle in Washington over fiscal policy.
"The economy is structurally doing a little bit better," said Michael Strauss, an economist at Commonfund in Wilton, Connecticut.
Analysts polled by Reuters had expected Markit's "flash" factory gauge to slip and looked for claims to rise to 355,000.
The unexpectedly strong U.S. data helped U.S. stocks to rise, reversing early declines caused by disappointing revenues reported by Apple Inc. Better-than-expected economic news from the euro zone and China also supported stocks.
Economists have cautioned about reading too deeply into this month's figures on jobless claims, which tend to be volatile around this time of the year because of large swings in the model the government uses to iron out seasonal fluctuations.
Still, claims have fallen for two straight weeks, suggesting employers do not yet see tax hikes enacted this month as a big threat to consumer demand.
A four-week moving average for new claims, meant to provide a better sense of underlying trends, fell 8,250 to 351,750, the lowest since March 2008.
The data helped the dollar extend gains versus the yen, while U.S. Treasury debt prices fell.
Claims are now at roughly the same level they were in much of 2006 and 2007. They started trending higher around December 2007, the month the recession began.
However, while employers have pulled back on layoffs, they have only added jobs at a lackluster pace.
Analysts polled by Reuters expect the government's employment report due on February 1 will show 165,000 jobs were added to payrolls this month, up from 155,000 new positions in December. The unemployment rate is expected to hold steady at 7.8 percent.
Like the claims data, Markit's factory report also offered support for the idea that the labor market recovery was gaining traction with new jobs in the sector being created at the fastest pace in nine months.
A Markit subindex showed factory output grew at its fastest pace since March 2012, while new orders also rose. The new orders gauge hit 57.7, its highest level since May 2010.
Improved economic conditions in China and some parts of Europe helped boost orders from abroad, but firms largely tied the growth surge to higher demand from U.S. customers.
"It is the domestic market that is clearly providing the main impetus to the upturn," said Markit chief economist Chris Williamson.
Aggressive monetary stimulus from the Federal Reserve and a last-minute deal by Congress to reduce the size of the tax hike gave a boost to business confidence, Williamson said.
A third gauge of economic health released on Thursday also beat analysts' forecasts. The private Conference Board's Leading Economic Index gained 0.5 percent to 93.9 last month, pointing to an improvement in growth.

French President arrives in India to enhance strategic partnership
New Delhi, Feb 14 : French President Francois Hollande arrived in New Delhi on Thursday on a two-day visit which is expected to include talks to finalise the purchase of Rafale fighter jets from Dassault Aviation.
India's Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Preneet Kaur and other officials received him.
During his visit, Hollande is expected to hold talks with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and other leaders on ways of enhancing the strategic partnership between the two countries.
India chose Dassault Aviation''s Rafale for exclusive negotiations over a year ago to supply 126 aircraft in a deal potentially worth 10 billion US dollars.
However, both sides have played down prospects that the deal would be finalised when President Francois Hollande visits India on February 14-15.
The French Foreign Minister said on Sunday that he was very positive that Hollande would hold talks with India to finalise the purchase.
Hollande is accompanied by France's First Lady, his partner Valerie Trierweiller, and a high-level delegation including several key ministers of his Cabinet, senior officials and business-leaders.
He will attend a Guard of Honour at Rashtrapati Bhavan later in the day, followed by a visit to Rajghat to pay homage to Mahatma Gandhi.
He is also expected to hold delegation level talks with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Foreign Minister Salman Khurshid besides calling on chief of ruling Congress party Sonia Gandhi and senior leader of main opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Sushma Swaraj.
On February 15, Hollande is scheduled to deliver a lecture at the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library, Teen Murti House.
He will also honour Nobel laureate and renowned economist Amartya Sen with Commandeur de la legion d''Honneur.
Thereafter, the French President will visit Mumbai for a meeting with the Governor of Maharashtra and participate in a business conference. (ANI)

Seeking treatment at a heroin rehab is the best option to take if you or a loved one is suffering from heroin addiction. Heroin addiction is one of the growing menaces in society today. In fact, in states like Florida, heroin addiction is among the top substances abused by teenagers aged 12 to 17 or older. It has adversely impacted so many lives and has destroyed family relationships once perceived as impregnable.
Persons who are suffering from heroin addiction gradually sink into depression and anxiety. This circumstance destroys his ability to function efficiently as a responsible member of society. As his depression and anxiety further deepens, he becomes a potential danger, not only to those around him, but also to himself. The problem is that addicts who wanted to stop using heroin kept on relapsing until they ultimately quit and wholly submit themselves to the clutches of addiction. While there are also those who wanted to seek formal treatment at various heroin rehab centers, their anxiety on what is going to happen gets over their desire to be completely free from addiction.
The good thing about Florida heroin rehab centers is they do recognize that some drug addicts have that desire to shake themselves free from addiction. This is why they have employed the services of some of the best counseling and medical professionals to erase whatever anxieties and worries they have about undergoing treatment at a heroin rehab center. These counseling and medical professionals also teach the heroin addicts new coping skills that would come real handy in situations where they might be tempted to try the drug once again.
Most heroin rehab centers in Florida offer substance abuse treatment on both outpatient and non-hospital residential care treatment. If your heroin addiction is not that severe and can be treated while you go about your usual daily tasks, then an outpatient type of treatment would be the perfect choice. This type of treatment would allow you to go home to your families or continue to perform your duties at the office. You will only be required to attend regular counseling sessions, as well as drug abuse education, where you will be able to learn new coping skills in your quest to free yourself from heroin addiction.
In the non-hospital residential type of treatment, you will be required to live within the confines of the heroin rehab facility where you chose to undergo treatment. The best aspect about this type of treatment is that your condition will be monitored by health professionals 24 hours each day. Intensive counseling sessions, group therapy, as well as group activities, are regularly conducted to prepare you for a clean life without heroin. Depending on the condition of your addiction, a detoxification process might also be recommended under the non-hospital residential type of treatment.
Another great thing about heroin rehab centers in Florida is that you can avail of its payment assistance program, which allows you to pay the necessary fees based on your income and other factors. This feature makes it easier for heroin addicts to undergo a heroin rehab program even if they have minimal income. Medicaid and Medicare are also accepted at these heroin rehab facilities.

MEMPHIS, Tenn.—The Birmingham-Southern women's basketball team lost today to Ferrum College, 87-74, on the first day of the Bancorp South Holiday Classic, hosted by Rhodes College in Memphis.
Ferrum moves to 3-0, while BSC falls to 4-5.
The first 12 minutes of play were close as the teams played to seven ties up to the 22-22 mark, after which Ferrum used an 11-2 run to pull up 33-24. Ferrum led by as much as 12, 38-26, with 3:41 left in the half before BSC scored 10 straight to cut it to 38-36 with 15 seconds on the clock. Ferrum was able to hit a three-pointer before time expired, taking a 41-36 lead into the locker room at halftime.
The Ferrum Panthers maintained the lead throughout the second half as well, although BSC cut it to two three times, the last time at the 7:18 mark when a three-pointer by freshman Breanne DeBaets cut it to 64-62. Ferrum pulled back ahead, however, scoring nine straight points to go up 73-62 while BSC shot only 4-12 from the field over the last 7:18 of the game, allowing Ferrum to pull out to as much as a 17-point lead (85-68 with 2:09 left in the game) before winning 87-74.
Sophomore Kelsey Brown led BSC with 20 points and an impressive nine assists, followed by DeBaets with a career-high 15 points off the bench, junior Kayla Ford with 11 points, and sophomore Ashley Curry with 10 points. Sophomore Jane Romano led with six rebounds.
All five of Ferrum's starters scored in double digits, led by Katy Kipps with 17 points and a game-high 10 rebounds.
Ferrum out-shot BSC in every category, shooting 48.1 percent (25-52) from the field to BSC's 35.7 percent (25-70), 40 percent (4-10) from three-point range to BSC's 20.6 percent (7-34), and 80.5 percent (33-41) at the free throw line to BSC's 65.4 percent (17-26) performance. BSC held a small advantage in rebounding, 38-36, and both teams turned the ball over 25 times.
BSC is back in action tomorrow in the Classic, taking on Westminster College at 1 p.m. Central.

Here's a romantic Valentine's story: a pretty patchwork quilt meets an old softie fleece; they fall in love and become inseparable. That's the true tale of today's beautiful lap blanket. The front is a patchwork of Layer Cake squares from the Kissing Booth collection by BasicGrey for Moda Fabrics. The back is a cuddly fleece so there's no need for batting. The blanket is bound around the edges and also tied. But, it's not just a traditional tied knot... oh no! There are sixteen 2½" cornerstone squares across the middle of the quilt, and each square is tied through with a little yarn bow, creating the look of sixteen pretty gift boxes. Wrap up your Valentine in this warm and wonderful blanket.
As we mentioned above, we used pre-cut, 10" x 10" Layer Cake squares for our blanket. For more information about pre-cuts, check out our Pre-cuts Lesson tutorial from our friends at Fat Quarter Shop for the inside scoop on the most popular pre-cut bundles.
The finished blanket is approximately 55½" x 55½".
Kissing Booth is available now at in-store and online retailers. We found a good selection at these Sew4Home Marketplace Vendors: Fat Quarter Shop, Fabric.com, and The Ribbon Retreat.
Our thanks to Moda Fabrics for sponsoring our wonderful Winter series: over three weeks of projects and how-to tutorials that got you through the holidays and thinking about your 2013 sewing resolutions. Stay tuned for a Great Giveaway this Friday, featuring pre-cuts from some of the collections you've seen.
Sewing Tools You Need
Any Sewing Machine (we recommend the Janome Horizon Memory Craft 8900 QCP)
Quarter Inch Seam foot (optional but helpful since all the patchworking is done with ¼" seams)
Walking foot (also optional but helpful when working with thick fabrics like fleece)
Fabric and Other Supplies
- 25 Layer Cake squares - a Layer Cake has 42 squares, so you'll have 17 leftover (If you choose not to use a Layer Cake, you'll need to cut 25 coordinating 10" x 10" squares): we used we used a Layer Cake of the Kissing Booth collection by BasicGrey for Moda Fabrics
- 10 Jelly Rolls strips - a Jelly Roll has 40 WOF strips, so you'll have 30 leftover (If you choose not to use a Layer Cake, you'll need to cut 40 coordinating 2½" x 10" strips): we used a Jelly Roll of Moda's Bella Solids in Snow
- ¾ yard of 44-45" wide cotton fabric for the binding and cornerstone squares; we used We Belong in Cherry Cordial from the Kissing Booth collection by BasicGrey for Moda Fabrics
NOTE: We used straight, cross grain cuts to make our binding. If you prefer bias binding, get a full yard. For more info, check out our bias binding tutorial.
- 1¾ yards of 58-60" wide super soft fleece for the blanket backing; we used a minky cuddle fleece in snow. S4H Marketplace vendor, Fabric.com has a great selection of solid color fleece
- Ball of soft yarn to tie the layers together at each cornerstone square; we used Martha Stewart's extra soft wool blend craft yarn in Bakery Box White
- All purpose thread to match fabrics
- Large safety pins for basting layers
- See-through ruler
- Iron and ironing board
- Scissors or rotary cutter and mat
- Fabric pen or pencil
- Straight pins
- Tape measure
- Hand sewing needle
- Large-eye yarn needle
Getting Started
- Select 25 squares from the layer cake and arrange them in an order pleasing to you. You need five rows of five squares. Alternate both color as well as motif size to get a pleasing pattern. Remember, in a Layer Cake you have 42 squares to work with, but you'll only use 25; this allows you extra to work with so you can avoid duplicate fabrics and/or similar colors side by side. You can follow our pattern or create your own. There's no "wrong" way to do it; it's all based on what you like best. Our design is shown below.
- Cut the jelly roll strips into FORTY 10" lengths. If you are not using a jelly roll, cut your fabric into FORTY 2½" x 10" strips.
- From the fabric for the binding and cornerstone squares (We Belong in Cherry Cordial in our sample), cut the following:
SIX 3" x width of fabric (WOF) strips
SIXTEEN 2½" x 2½" squares
- Cut the fleece into a 58" x 58" square.
At Your Sewing Machine & Ironing Board
- The lap blanket top has a traditional ¼" quilting seam allowance throughout. We used our Janome Quarter Inch Seam foot to help maintain a perfectly straight line.
Create the main rows
- There are a lot of pieces to keep track of, so work in a specific order, like a grid. We worked from top to bottom and left to right. It helps to lay things out first to cement the order in your brain.
- Starting with the first row, pin one 2½" x 10" solid rectangle right sides together with one side of each of the first four 10" x 10" squares. You should have FOUR pairs.
- Using a ¼" seam allowance, stitch these pairs together.
- Place the first two sewn pairs right sides together, aligning the remaining right raw edge of the first solid strip with the remaining raw left edge of the second square. Pin in place. Using a ¼" seam allowance, stitch together.
- Repeat to add the remaining pairs.
- Finally, find the single square remaining for the first row. Place it right sides together with the sewn row, aligning the raw edge of the row's rightmost solid strip with the left edge of the final square. Pin in place. Using a ¼" seam allowance, stitch the seam. This completes your first row.
- Repeat these same steps to build the remaining four rows.
Create the sashing rows
- For those who don't quilt regularly, sashing is the word used for the rows of fabric that aren't part of the quilt block rows. It's just a fancy way of talking about the rows in between the main blocks. The sashing rows in our quilt are made of two fabrics and two shapes: squares and strips.
- You need FOUR sashing rows, each made up of five 2½" x 10" strips and four 2½" x 2½" squares.
- Begin pinning together the first sashing row. Start with a strip and match one 2½" side, right sides together, with the side of one square.
- Work from left to right, adding one piece at a time (strip, square, strip, square... ), until you have your full row of five strips and four squares.
- Using a ¼" seam allowance, piece together the first sashing row.
- Repeat to make the remaining three sashing rows.
Assemble the block rows and sashing rows
- Place your main rows and sashing rows in order on your work surface.
- Working from the top row down, pin the bottom of the first main row right sides together with the top of the sashing row. The most important thing to remember is to keep your seams in line with one another. It helps to place pins right in the seams to make sure they're lined up on the other side.
- Also, at each intersecting seam, pin the seam away from the solid strip. This will keep all the seams facing the darker fabric and will allow for each seam to go in the opposite direction so they will lie together perfectly. This "sandwiching" technique is what allows you to get perfect points (perfectly intersecting corners) on the front.
- Using a ¼" seam allowance, sew the two rows together.
- Continue in the same manner for the next three main rows and sashing rows.
- You should now have four main/sashing rows and one main row with no sashing. Align them in order on your work surface from top to bottom.
- Keeping your seams aligned as above, stitch together the rows, using a ¼" seam allowance.
- When all the rows are stitched in place, if necessary, trim any excess from all sides of the blanket top so the raw edges are flush and square.
- Flip over the blanket top and press all the seams, making sure each seam faces away from the light solid strips.
Layer and tie
- Find an area with a lot of available (and clean!) floor space. You need enough room to keep the layers flat.
- Lay the 58" x 58" fleece square RIGHT SIDE DOWN on the floor. If you choose, you may use tape on the corners to hold it in place.
- Lay the blanket top RIGHT SIDE UP on top of the fleece, centering it in the middle. The fleece will extend beyond the edges of the top. This is okay; you'll trim everything flush before binding.
- Place a few large safety pins across the quilt top, making sure you pin through both layers. You just need enough to keep the layers from shifting. The fleece is pretty "grippy" so you don't need a lot.
- Thread the large-eye yarn needle with approximately 10-12" of the soft yarn.
- Bring the thread down and the back up through the center of each cornerstone square.
- Make sure you are going down and back through BOTH layers; these ties are what help hold the layers together.
- Remove the yarn from the needle and tie a tight knot.
- Tie a simple bow.
- Make a knot in each bow tail to keep the yarn from unraveling.
- Trim the excess yarn just below each knot. You can also use a dab of seam sealant to finish the ends. Now your cornerstone square looks like a pretty little gift box.
- Repeat to tie a bow in each of the remaining 15 squares.
- Pin the edges of the blanket top to the fleece around all four sides
- If possible, attach a Walking foot. Machine baste the layers together, keeping your seam allowance ¼ - ⅜".
- When you are finished basting, trim the edges of the fleece so it is square and flush with the blanket top.
- Find your binding strips (We belong in Cherry Cordial in our sample). Pin them together end to end (the 2½" ends) to create one long strip. Stitch together and press the seam allowance flat.
- Press the entire strip in half, wrong sides together.
- Lay the raw edge of the binding along the raw edge of the fleece side of the blanket all the way around. Pin in place.
- Stitch in place, using a ½" seam allowance.
NOTE: If you are new to binding, check out our tutorial: Complete Step-by-Step Tutorial for Binding Quilts & Throws.
- Trim the corners. Fold the binding to the front and hand stitch or stitch in the ditch to secure. We chose to hand stitch.

Drought can be a really ugly word.
Send a link to a friend
[August 09, 2014]
walked quietly out and looked toward the west. It seems as though
everyone did. Neighbors were out and the dogs were racing around
trying to set new yard-to-yard speed records. Yes, it was getting
dark there in the west.
But no one really wanted to say it. No one wanted to jinx it. Oh,
we're grown up, educated more or less, and smart enough to come in
out of the … oops. Nearly slipped up there. But there is that
nagging little fear we all carry when we want something so badly
we're afraid to talk about it. It might not happen.
I looked across the street and there was ol' Windy Wilson, staring
west and snapping his suspenders in anticipation. Windy was here
before the invention of dirt and knows a few things. The closest our
talk came was simply Windy smiling at me and nodding yes.
Oh, we need it. Farms that have used irrigation for a hundred years
were now having faithful wells dry up. The nearby mountains held
several fires, as there was less moisture in some of the trees now
than in a cured two by four. Drought can be a really ugly word.
Mrs. Doc came out of her house with iced tea for about 10 people,
and we smiled and sipped it gratefully and looked toward the west.
The blackness was climbing higher. It was getting blacker, too.
[to top of second
Doc walked over to the tree in his front yard
and looked at the thermometer. "Ninety-one," he said.
And then came the breeze, that softly massaging coolness that said
we were the chosen ones. This was our afternoon. It was coming. It
was COMING!
The first rumbles of thunder made us smile and jump just a little as
the black ceiling drew itself over us like bed covers.
And then … RAIN!
We twirled in it and danced in it. Toddlers disassociated themselves
from clothing and hopped around like frogs. People with gray in
their hair wished they could, too.
Rain. To save us. Rain. We must have done something right for once.
Thank you.

When last I saw a medical marijuana advocate, he'd just jumped the back fence of the condos and was booking up Market Street with two popo in pursuit. We were evicting said advocate because both he and the condo's owner had forgotten to pay rent, condo fees and the mortgage for several years and the condo association, the association's president (me) and CitiMortgage Inc. were peeved.
During the trash-out, (being a condo association president is similar to being a janitor), I discovered, as expected, brochures about the wondrousness of marijuana as a medicine and the cruel injustice of a state that allows — nay, encourages — the consumption of alcohol but bans the magic herb. I also found methamphetamine, crack cocaine, baggies, bongs big and bongs small, bongs with water and hubble-bubble hoses and two electronic scales as cute as lace pants.
This mope was using the condo as a dope hole, which is cop-talk for a combination drug office and storeroom. Anyone whose IQ tops three digits knows not to live near the stuff. That can be hazardous for your freedom and problematical for your existence. On the desk were wrappers for $20,000 in C-notes and fifties, lists of customers running tabs, with accounts receivable, and lists of suppliers with whom he was running tabs, with accounts payable. There were bank statements from Grand Cayman, which didn't surprise me, and parts for a .38 revolver, which did. That's not much gun for the dope biz.
This guy, who was a beach boy from Ponte Vedra, was challenging, unwisely, the exclusive franchise of The Brothers to sell Schedule I narcotics in Springfield. By now, I'm sure he's duly dead and has been duly dumped into Hogans Creek to float therefrom into the vastness of the St. Johns.
Dumb twerp.
What is truly surprising is the astonishment, possibly unfeigned, of elected officials in legal marijuana states like Colorado and Oregon. According to the Nov. 30 issue of the Wall Street Journal, they're shocked to discover that the felons to whom they entrusted the marijuana dispensary business continue to trade in machine guns, semi-auto pistols, the levorotatory enantiomer of methamphetamine and — gasp — the more portable forms of cocaine chloride.
Of course, the entire argument in favor of medical marijuana is specious for a simple reason: Marijuana, per se, is not medicinal. Its active ingredient, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), is. THC ameliorates nausea and vomiting and stimulates appetite in patients suffering from AIDS, end-stage cancer and the effects of chemotherapy. It is useful in the relief of neuropathic pain.
What nobody mentions is that pharmaceutically pure isomers of THC are available by prescription, either in pill form or injectable liquid, under the trade name Marinol. Synthetic versions, trade named dronabinol and nabilone, are also manufactured. You can buy all this stuff at Walmart.
There's no medical need to smoke marijuana to get THC, just as it's not necessary to gnaw willow bark to get aspirin or to drink nasty, gray mold to get penicillin. Those friendly guys at Big Pharma have been selling these plant-based drugs, in dosages of enviable purity, for decades. The price of Marinol is surprisingly modest, about the same as buying weed from your Glock-toting neighborhood dope dealer.
Interestingly, THC is not the front-line medication for any of the illnesses for which it is approved. There are newer, better and more powerful drugs. For example, THC's ability to relieve pain is modest. I can tell you from personal experience that when your kidneys are exploding from stones, or when an orthopedic surgeon has hammered the spikes of an artificial knee into your leg bones, you don't, between screams, call for marijuana. You howl for morphine, or Dilaudid, mainlined into the nearest vein. Hell, you'd drill a hole into your own head if shooting those drugs into your brain would make them work any faster.
Medical marijuana is merely a fairy tale told to the credulous. It has to be sold in dispensaries by former dope dealers because, even though legal under state laws, marijuana is illegal under federal law, so doctors can't prescribe it and pharmacists can't sell it.
What medical marijuana advocates really want is legal marijuana. They want to buy the stuff without fear, and smoke it publicly without consequences, any time day or night. If sick people find it useful, goody for them. What the legal dope crowd doesn't have, yet, is enough political clout to persuade Congress to pass a law and the Choomster-in-Chief to sign it. ("Choom" is Hawaiian slang for dope. During a misguided period of his youth, the president, like the author, inhaled industrial quantities of the stuff.)
I oppose legalized marijuana for two reasons. First, it has the unenviable quality of producing, during combustion, even more carcinogenic alkaloids than tobacco. That's why Willie Nelson sings "sotto voce," with one lobe of one lung. It also accelerates tumor growth, which is why a black speck of melanoma under Bob Marley's toenail in short order turned his brain and liver to mush and his body into a corpse.
Second, marijuana has a pernicious effect that alcohol does not. It snuffs out goals and ambitions. It makes you not care, so you drift through life aimlessly and painlessly. Nothing could be more inadvisable, or more dangerous,
In Crime City.
Your opinion is fine. What does it have to do with legitimate research? Or is that what you do when you're not writing for the Folio. What are your credentials?
The problems you associate with illegal drugs are there because they are illegal. Wednesday, December 11, 2013|Report this
Wow, this is by far the worst piece of literature put out in a published work I have ever seen. The bias is extremely obvious, almost as obvious as the lack of research done beforehand. Don't get me wrong, I don't expect good articles from folio weekly, I just don't expect the propaganda to be this blatant and misleading. For instance, the article implies that THC is the only active ingredient in Cannabis, which is so far from the truth it isn't funny. He then claims that Marinol and other harmful prescriptions with dangerous side effects are just as good. Any study I have seen suggest that when you isolate the THC molecule from the other cannabinoids, the effects just aren't there. THC is one of many different cannabinoids that are all active in Cannabis. These cannabinoids interact the with the built in cannabinoid-receptors in humans.
The ignorant claims in this article just fuel the unjust laws in this country. "The friendly guys at Big Pharma" make more money a year than any other racket in the country, they also are responsible for more deaths than illegal drugs every year, whether by accidental overdose, death as a side effect, or abuse by people who started thinking they were getting something from "friendly guys at Big Pharma". Give me a break! There is tons of scientific evidence touting natural cures, something the naturally growing plant Cannabis is. There is even evidence of people curing cancer with it, but those "friendly guys at Big Pharma" wouldn't have you know or believe that, it cuts into market shares.
Then this ignorant tool goes on to backtrack his own claim saying "if sick people find it useful, goody for them". No medical value? And what is so wrong with the desire to want to use a plant that sick people find useful, with out the fear of some goon squad kicking in your door because you have a plant in your house?
His inaccuracies abound through out, for instance, Oregon has not legalized, Washington did. I just came here from there. I can tell you that there are plenty of legitimate business men running legitimate businesses, paying a hefty share of taxes, taking away business from illegal cartels. Another inaccuracy is that Cannabis speeds tumor growth, it does the exact opposite, which is why Rick Simpson and his oil is so popular.
How he can rationally suggest that alcohol does not have the negative effects he suggest Cannabis does is beyond my "IQ that tops three digits". Tell Ted Turner the billionaire that it makes people drift through life aimlessly, he's known to smoke a joint daily. Micheal Bloomberg doesn't deny partaking. Bill Gates can hardly be called aimless, or with out goals and ambitions. Clarence Thomas smoked and became a Supreme Court Justice. All 3 of the last Presidents of this country openly admitted it not just the current "Choomster", getting to be President seems awful ambitious to me. Bob Marley who was mentioned in the article was ambitious enough, and had goals to sell millions of records around the world, not just at home in Cannabis loving Jamaica.
The worst part of the article is the assumption that anyone who likes to use a naturally occurring plant, whether its recreational or medicinal, must also therefore be into non-naturally occurring "drugs", as well as carry violent weapons, and not have any goals or ambitions, while also floating through life aimlessly and painlessly.
I can assure you as a Veteran who fought for this country and all of its unjust laws, my use of Cannabis is purely medical, is backed by science, and does amazing things for my chronic back pain (fractured vertebrae in lower back while active duty). It also does wonderful things for my own, as well as many of my fellow veterans for "Post Traumatic Stress Disorder" by relieving much of the anxiety by activating my dopamine receptors in my brain.

"The friendly guys at Big Pharma" as you quote. Before I begin, I do not smoke or take part in cannabis. The Big Guys that allow pill mills to run, that let little Johnny and Jane steal from their parents for percoset and cough syrup? Maybe a little blue or white oblong pill. Have you really felt the effect of cancer? Have you seen the addiction that "Big Pharma" as you state brought? You are a piece of crap to bring an opinion to the people in this county and state. How dare you run your mouth on something that you believe in your mind's eye to be OK. I would like to see the effect of a pharmaceutical drugs make you itch and die for more.
You are complete shit. I do not know you, but you are completely biased. You are basically telling readers to ruin their livers on alcohol and pills. While you are at it, smoke more than a pack to meet the carcinogenic requirements of marijuana. I picked up the folio and was offended even though I am indifferent to marijuana. Do you even know how destructive acetaminophen is to the liver (VICODEN-LORTAB) and you throw blows at (1) singer?
You are looking at crime. I would love to submit to the Folio the difference between pill crime vs marijuana crime. You definitely are not a statistician. You are just some idiot that got to make his/her point. You probably never felt a loved one pass from pain with their hand grasped to yours.
You are a publicity stunt that walked into an issue and feels that your argument is valid. I do not understand completely what you are trying to achieve by this 'blog'.
"Second, marijuana has a pernicious effect that alcohol does not. It snuffs out goals and ambitions." You are joking? Alcohol does not destroy ambitions? Are you insane, how did Folio allow you to take a shit on their paper before I could wipe my ass on it?

You are an advocate for addiction. You have never felt the pain of cancer. Re-read what you wrote.
Screw you for thinking otherwise. Keep the Oxycontin running. Take the blue pill or the red pill, either way your screwed because the beauty of diacetylmorphine or morphine diacetate is that it hooks you. You are hiding opium behind marijuana in your blog.

Teens, Social Media, and Privacy
Teens, Social Media, and Privacy
Teens share a wide range of information about themselves on social media sites;1 indeed the sites themselves are designed to encourage the sharing of information and the expansion of networks. However, few teens embrace a fully public approach to social media. Instead, they take an array of steps to restrict and prune their profiles, and their patterns of reputation management on social media vary greatly according to their gender and network size. These are among the key findings from a new report based on a survey of 802 teens that examines teens' privacy management on social media sites:
- Teens are sharing more information about themselves on social media sites than they did in the past. For the five different types of personal information that we measured in both 2006 and 2012, each is significantly more likely to be shared by teen social media users in our most recent survey.
- Teen Twitter use has grown significantly: 24% of online teens use Twitter, up from 16% in 2011.
- The typical (median) teen Facebook user has 300 friends, while the typical teen Twitter user has 79 followers.
- Focus group discussions with teens show that they have waning enthusiasm for Facebook, disliking the increasing adult presence, people sharing excessively, and stressful "drama," but they keep using it because participation is an important part of overall teenage socializing.
- 60% of teen Facebook users keep their profiles private, and most report high levels of confidence in their ability to manage their settings.
- Teens take other steps to shape their reputation, manage their networks, and mask information they don't want others to know; 74% of teen social media users have deleted people from their network or friends list.
- Teen social media users do not express a high level of concern about third-party access to their data; just 9% say they are "very" concerned.
- On Facebook, increasing network size goes hand in hand with network variety, information sharing, and personal information management.
- In broad measures of online experience, teens are considerably more likely to report positive experiences than negative ones. For instance, 52% of online teens say they have had an experience online that made them feel good about themselves.
Teens are sharing more information about themselves on social media sites than they did in the past.
Teens are increasingly sharing personal information on social media sites, a trend that is likely driven by the evolution of the platforms teens use as well as changing norms around sharing. A typical teen's MySpace profile from 2006 was quite different in form and function from the 2006 version of Facebook as well as the Facebook profiles that have become a hallmark of teenage life today. For the five different types of personal information that we measured in both 2006 and 2012, each is significantly more likely to be shared by teen social media users on the profile they use most often.
- 91% post a photo of themselves, up from 79% in 2006.
- 71% post their school name, up from 49%.
- 71% post the city or town where they live, up from 61%.
- 53% post their email address, up from 29%.
- 20% post their cell phone number, up from 2%.
In addition to the trend questions, we also asked five new questions about the profile teens use most often and found that among teen social media users:
- 92% post their real name to the profile they use most often.2
- 84% post their interests, such as movies, music, or books they like.
- 82% post their birth date.
- 62% post their relationship status.
- 24% post videos of themselves.
Older teens are more likely than younger teens to share certain types of information, but boys and girls tend to post the same kind of content.
Generally speaking, older teen social media users (ages 14-17), are more likely to share certain types of information on the profile they use most often when compared with younger teens (ages 12-13).
Older teens who are social media users more frequently share:
- Photos of themselves on their profile (94% older teens vs. 82% of younger teens)
- Their school name (76% vs. 56%)
- Their relationship status (66% vs. 50%)
- Their cell phone number (23% vs. 11%)
While boys and girls generally share personal information on social media profiles at the same rates, cell phone numbers are a key exception. Boys are significantly more likely to share their numbers than girls (26% vs. 14%). This is a difference that is driven by older boys. Various differences between white and African-American social media-using teens are also significant, with the most notable being the lower likelihood that African-American teens will disclose their real names on a social media profile (95% of white social media-using teens do this vs. 77% of African-American teens).3
16% of teen social media users have set up their profile to automatically include their location in posts.
Beyond basic profile information, some teens choose to enable the automatic inclusion of location information when they post. Some 16% of teen social media users said they set up their profile or account so that it automatically includes their location in posts. Boys and girls and teens of all ages and socioeconomic backgrounds are equally likely to say that they have set up their profile to include their location when they post. Focus group data suggests that many teens find sharing their location unnecessary and unsafe, while others appreciate the opportunity to signal their location to friends and parents.
Teen Twitter use has grown significantly: 24% of online teens use Twitter, up from 16% in 2011.
Twitter draws a far smaller crowd than Facebook for teens, but its use is rising. One in four online teens uses Twitter in some way. While overall use of social networking sites among teens has hovered around 80%, Twitter grew in popularity; 24% of online teens use Twitter, up from 16% in 2011 and 8% the first time we asked this question in late 2009.
African-American teens are substantially more likely to report using Twitter when compared with white youth.
Continuing a pattern established early in the life of Twitter, African-American teens who are internet users are more likely to use the site when compared with their white counterparts. Two in five (39%) African-American teens use Twitter, while 23% of white teens use the service.
Public accounts are the norm for teen Twitter users.
While those with Facebook profiles most often choose private settings, Twitter users, by contrast, are much more likely to have a public account.
- 64% of teens with Twitter accounts say that their tweets are public, while 24% say their tweets are private.
- 12% of teens with Twitter accounts say that they "don't know" if their tweets are public or private.
- While boys and girls are equally likely to say their accounts are public, boys are significantly more likely than girls to say that they don't know (21% of boys who have Twitter accounts report this, compared with 5% of girls).
The typical (median) teen Facebook user has 300 friends, while the typical teen Twitter user has 79 followers.
Overall, teens have far fewer followers on Twitter when compared with Facebook friends; the typical (median) teen Facebook user has 300 friends, while the typical (median) teen Twitter user has 79 followers. Girls and older teens tend to have substantially larger Facebook friend networks compared with boys and younger teens.
Teens' Facebook friendship networks largely mirror their offline networks. Seven in ten say they are friends with their parents on Facebook.
Teens, like other Facebook users, have different kinds of people in their online social networks. And how teens construct that network has implications for who can see the material they share in those digital social spaces:
- 98% of Facebook-using teens are friends with people they know from school.
- 91% of teen Facebook users are friends with members of their extended family.
- 89% are connected to friends who do not attend the same school.
- 76% are Facebook friends with brothers and sisters.
- 70% are Facebook friends with their parents.
- 33% are Facebook friends with other people they have not met in person.
- 30% have teachers or coaches as friends in their network.
- 30% have celebrities, musicians or athletes in their network.
Older teens tend to be Facebook friends with a larger variety of people, while younger teens are less likely to friend certain groups, including those they have never met in person.
Older teens are more likely than younger ones to have created broader friend networks on Facebook. Older teens (14-17) who use Facebook are more likely than younger teens (12-13) to be connected with:
- Friends who go to different schools (92% vs. 82%)
- People they have never met in person, not including celebrities (36% vs. 25%)
- Teachers or coaches (34% vs. 19%)
Girls are also more likely than boys (37% vs. 23%) to be Facebook friends with coaches or teachers, the only category of Facebook friends where boys and girls differ.
African-American youth are nearly twice as likely as whites to be Facebook friends with celebrities, athletes, or musicians (48% vs. 25%).
Focus group discussions with teens show that they have waning enthusiasm for Facebook.
In focus groups, many teens expressed waning enthusiasm for Facebook. They dislike the increasing number of adults on the site, get annoyed when their Facebook friends share inane details, and are drained by the "drama" that they described as happening frequently on the site. The stress of needing to manage their reputation on Facebook also contributes to the lack of enthusiasm. Nevertheless, the site is still where a large amount of socializing takes place, and teens feel they need to stay on Facebook in order to not miss out.
Users of sites other than Facebook express greater enthusiasm for their choice.
Those teens who used sites like Twitter and Instagram reported feeling like they could better express themselves on these platforms, where they felt freed from the social expectations and constraints of Facebook. Some teens may migrate their activity and attention to other sites to escape the drama and pressures they find on Facebook, although most still remain active on Facebook as well.
60% of teen Facebook users keep their profiles private, and most report high levels of confidence in their ability to manage their settings.
Teens have a variety of ways to make available or limit access to their personal information on social media sites. Privacy settings are one of many tools in a teen's personal data management arsenal. Among teen Facebook users, most choose private settings that allow only approved friends to view the content that they post.
Most keep their Facebook profile private. Girls are more likely than boys to restrict access to their profiles.
Some 60% of teens ages 12-17 who use Facebook say they have their profile set to private, so that only their friends can see it. Another 25% have a partially private profile, set so that friends of their friends can see what they post. And 14% of teens say that their profile is completely public.4
- Girls who use Facebook are substantially more likely than boys to have a private (friends only) profile (70% vs. 50%).
- By contrast, boys are more likely than girls to have a fully public profile that everyone can see (20% vs. 8%).
Most teens express a high level of confidence in managing their Facebook privacy settings.
More than half (56%) of teen Facebook users say it's "not difficult at all" to manage the privacy controls on their Facebook profile, while one in three (33%) say it's "not too difficult." Just 8% of teen Facebook users say that managing their privacy controls is "somewhat difficult," while less than 1% describe the process as "very difficult."
Teens' feelings of efficacy increase with age:
- 41% of Facebook users ages 12-13 say it is "not difficult at all" to manage their privacy controls, compared with 61% of users ages 14-17.
- Boys and girls report similar levels of confidence in managing the privacy controls on their Facebook profile.
For most teen Facebook users, all friends and parents see the same information and updates on their profile.
Beyond general privacy settings, teen Facebook users have the option to place further limits on who can see the information and updates they post. However, few choose to customize in that way: Among teens who have a Facebook account, only 18% say that they limit what certain friends can see on their profile. The vast majority (81%) say that all of their friends see the same thing on their profile.5 This approach also extends to parents; only 5% of teen Facebook users say they limit what their parents can see.
Teens take other steps to shape their reputation, manage their networks, and mask information they don't want others to know; 74% of teen social media users have deleted people from their network or friends list.
Teens are cognizant of their online reputations, and take steps to curate the content and appearance of their social media presence. For many teens who were interviewed in focus groups for this report, Facebook was seen as an extension of offline interactions and the social negotiation and maneuvering inherent to teenage life. "Likes" specifically seem to be a strong proxy for social status, such that teen Facebook users will manipulate their profile and timeline content in order to garner the maximum number of "likes," and remove photos with too few "likes."
Pruning and revising profile content is an important part of teens' online identity management.
Teen management of their profiles can take a variety of forms – we asked teen social media users about five specific activities that relate to the content they post and found that:
- 59% have deleted or edited something that they posted in the past.
- 53% have deleted comments from others on their profile or account.
- 45% have removed their name from photos that have been tagged to identify them.
- 31% have deleted or deactivated an entire profile or account.
- 19% have posted updates, comments, photos, or videos that they later regretted sharing.
74% of teen social media users have deleted people from their network or friends' list; 58% have blocked people on social media sites.
Given the size and composition of teens' networks, friend curation is also an integral part of privacy and reputation management for social media-using teens. The practice of friending, unfriending, and blocking serve as privacy management techniques for controlling who sees what and when. Among teen social media users:
- Girls are more likely than boys to delete friends from their network (82% vs. 66%) and block people (67% vs. 48%).
- Unfriending and blocking are equally common among teens of all ages and across all socioeconomic groups.
58% of teen social media users say they share inside jokes or cloak their messages in some way.
As a way of creating a different sort of privacy, many teen social media users will obscure some of their updates and posts, sharing inside jokes and other coded messages that only certain friends will understand:
- 58% of teen social media users say they share inside jokes or cloak their messages in some way.
- Older teens are considerably more likely than younger teens to say that they share inside jokes and coded messages that only some of their friends understand (62% vs. 46%).
26% say that they post false information like a fake name, age, or location to help protect their privacy.
One in four (26%) teen social media users say that they post fake information like a fake name, age or location to help protect their privacy.
- African-American teens who use social media are more likely than white teens to say that they post fake information to their profiles (39% vs. 21%).
Teen social media users do not express a high level of concern about third-party access to their data; just 9% say they are "very" concerned.
Overall, 40% of teen social media users say they are "very" or "somewhat" concerned that some of the information they share on social networking sites might be accessed by third parties like advertisers or businesses without their knowledge. However, few report a high level of concern; 31% say that they are "somewhat" concerned, while just 9% say that they are "very" concerned.6 Another 60% in total report that they are "not too" concerned (38%) or "not at all" concerned (22%).
- Younger teen social media users (12-13) are considerably more likely than older teens (14-17) to say that they are "very concerned" about third party access to the information they share (17% vs. 6%).
Insights from our focus groups suggest that some teens may not have a good sense of whether the information they share on a social media site is being used by third parties.
When asked whether they thought Facebook gives anyone else access to the information they share, one middle schooler wrote: "Anyone who isn't friends with me cannot see anything about my profile except my name and gender. I don't believe that [Facebook] would do anything with my info." Other high schoolers shared similar sentiments, believing that Facebook would not or should not share their information.
Parents, by contrast, express high levels of concern about how much information advertisers can learn about their children's behavior online.
Parents of the surveyed teens were asked a related question: "How concerned are you about how much information advertisers can learn about your child's online behavior?" A full 81% of parents report being "very" or "somewhat" concerned, with 46% reporting they are "very concerned." Just 19% report that they are not too concerned or not at all concerned about how much advertisers could learn about their child's online activities.
Teens who are concerned about third party access to their personal information are also more likely to engage in online reputation management.
Teens who are somewhat or very concerned that some of the information they share on social network sites might be accessed by third parties like advertisers or businesses without their knowledge more frequently delete comments, untag themselves from photos or content, and deactivate or delete their entire account. Among teen social media users, those who are "very" or "somewhat" concerned about third party access are more likely than less concerned teens to:
- Delete comments that others have made on their profile (61% vs. 49%).
- Untag themselves in photos (52% vs. 41%).
- Delete or deactivate their profile or account (38% vs. 25%).
- Post updates, comments, photos or videos that they later regret (26% vs. 14%).
On Facebook, increasing network size goes hand in hand with network variety, information sharing, and personal information management.
Teens with larger Facebook networks are more frequent users of social networking sites and tend to have a greater variety of people in their friend networks. They also share a wider range of information on their profile when compared with those who have a smaller number of friends on the site. Yet even as they share more information with a wider range of people, they are also more actively engaged in maintaining their online profile or persona.
Teens with large Facebook friend networks are more frequent social media users and participate on a wider diversity of platforms in addition to Facebook.
Teens with larger Facebook networks are fervent social media users who exhibit a greater tendency to "diversify" their platform portfolio:
- 65% of teens with more than 600 friends on Facebook say that they visit social networking sites several times a day, compared with 27% of teens with 150 or fewer Facebook friends.
- Teens with more than 600 Facebook friends are more than three times as likely to also have a Twitter account when compared with those who have 150 or fewer Facebook friends (46% vs. 13%). They are six times as likely to use Instagram (12% vs. 2%).
Teens with larger Facebook networks tend to have more variety within those networks.
Almost all Facebook users (regardless of network size) are friends with their schoolmates and extended family members. However, other types of people begin to appear as the size of teens' Facebook networks expand:
- Teen Facebook users with more than 600 friends in their network are much more likely than those with smaller networks to be Facebook friends with peers who don't attend their own school, with people they have never met in person (not including celebrities and other "public figures"), as well as with teachers or coaches.
- On the other hand, teens with the largest friend networks are actually less likely to be friends with their parents on Facebook when compared with those with the smallest networks (79% vs. 60%).
Teens with large networks share a wider range of content, but are also more active in profile pruning and reputation management activities.
Teens with the largest networks (more than 600 friends) are more likely to include a photo of themselves, their school name, their relationship status, and their cell phone number on their profile when compared with teens who have a relatively small number of friends in their network (under 150 friends). However, teens with large friend networks are also more active reputation managers on social media.
- Teens with larger friend networks are more likely than those with smaller networks to block other users, to delete people from their friend network entirely, to untag photos of themselves, or to delete comments others have made on their profile.
- They are also substantially more likely to automatically include their location in updates and share inside jokes or coded messages with others.
In broad measures of online experience, teens are considerably more likely to report positive experiences than negative ones.
In the current survey, we wanted to understand the broader context of teens' online lives beyond Facebook and Twitter. A majority of teens report positive experiences online, such as making friends and feeling closer to another person, but some do encounter unwanted content and contact from others.
- 52% of online teens say they have had an experience online that made them feel good about themselves. Among teen social media users, 57% said they had an experience online that made them feel good, compared with 30% of teen internet users who do not use social media.
- One in three online teens (33%) say they have had an experience online that made them feel closer to another person. Looking at teen social media users, 37% report having an experience somewhere online that made them feel closer to another person, compared with just 16% of online teens who do not use social media.
One in six online teens say they have been contacted online by someone they did not know in a way that made them feel scared or uncomfortable.
Unwanted contact from strangers is relatively uncommon, but 17% of online teens report some kind of contact that made them feel scared or uncomfortable.7 Online girls are more than twice as likely as boys to report contact from someone they did not know that made them feel scared or uncomfortable (24% vs. 10%).
Few internet-using teens have posted something online that caused problems for them or a family member, or got them in trouble at school.
A small percentage of teens have engaged in online activities that had negative repercussions for them or their family; 4% of online teens say they have shared sensitive information online that later caused a problem for themselves or other members of their family. Another 4% have posted information online that got them in trouble at school.
More than half of internet-using teens have decided not to post content online over reputation concerns.
More than half of online teens (57%) say they have decided not to post something online because they were concerned it would reflect badly on them in the future. Teen social media users are more likely than other online teens who do not use social media to say they have refrained from sharing content due to reputation concerns (61% vs. 39%).
Large numbers of youth have lied about their age in order to gain access to websites and online accounts.
In 2011, we reported that close to half of online teens (44%) admitted to lying about their age at one time or another so they could access a website or sign up for an online account. In the latest survey, 39% of online teens admitted to falsifying their age in order gain access to a website or account, a finding that is not significantly different from the previous survey.
Close to one in three online teens say they have received online advertising that was clearly inappropriate for their age.
Exposure to inappropriate advertising online is one of the many risks that parents, youth advocates, and policy makers are concerned about. Yet, little has been known until now about how often teens encounter online ads that they feel are intended for more (or less) mature audiences. In the latest survey, 30% of online teens say they have received online advertising that is "clearly inappropriate" for their age.
About the survey and focus groups
These findings are based on a nationally representative phone survey run by the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project of 802 parents and their 802 teens ages 12-17. It was conducted between July 26 and September 30, 2012. Interviews were conducted in English and Spanish and on landline and cell phones. The margin of error for the full sample is ± 4.5 percentage points.
This report marries that data with insights and quotes from in-person focus groups conducted by the Youth and Media team at the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University beginning in February 2013. The focus groups focused on privacy and digital media, with special emphasis on social media sites. The team conducted 24 focus group interviews with 156 students across the greater Boston area, Los Angeles (California), Santa Barbara (California), and Greensboro (North Carolina). Each focus group lasted 90 minutes, including a 15-minute questionnaire completed prior to starting the interview, consisting of 20 multiple-choice questions and 1 open-ended response. Although the research sample was not designed to constitute representative cross-sections of particular population(s), the sample includes participants from diverse ethnic, racial, and economic backgrounds. Participants ranged in age from 11 to 19. The mean age of participants is 14.5.
In addition, two online focus groups of teenagers ages 12-17 were conducted by the Pew Internet Project from June 20-27, 2012 to help inform the survey design. The first focus group was with 11 middle schoolers ages 12-14, and the second group was with nine high schoolers ages 14-17. Each group was mixed gender, with some racial, socio-economic, and regional diversity. The groups were conducted as an asynchronous threaded discussion over three days using an online platform and the participants were asked to log in twice per day.
Throughout this report, this focus group material is highlighted in several ways. Pew's online focus group quotes are interspersed with relevant statistics from the survey in order to illustrate findings that were echoed in the focus groups or to provide additional context to the data. In addition, at several points, there are extensive excerpts boxed off as standalone text boxes that elaborate on a number of important themes that emerged from the in-person focus groups conducted by the Berkman Center.
- We use "social media site" as the umbrella term that refers to social networking sites (like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Google Plus) as well as to information- and media-sharing sites that users may not think of in terms of networking such as Twitter, Instagram, and Tumblr. "Teen social media users" are teens who use any social media site(s). When we use "social networking sites" or "social networking sites and Twitter," it will be to maintain the original wording when reporting survey results. ↩
- Given that Facebook is now the dominant platform for teens, and a first and last name is required when creating an account, this is undoubtedly driving the nearly universal trend among teen social media users to say they post their real name to the profile they use most often. Fake accounts with fake names can still be created on Facebook, but the practice is explicitly forbidden in Facebook's Terms of Service. ↩
- The sample size for African-American teens who use social media is relatively small (n=95), but all differences between white and African-American teen social media users noted throughout this section are statistically significant. ↩
- In 2011, the privacy settings question was asked of all teen SNS or Twitter users, prompting them to think about the "profile they use most often." Among this group 62% reported having a private profile, 19% said their profile was partially private, and 17% said their profile was public. At the time, almost all of these teen social media users (93%) said they had a Facebook account, but some respondents could have been reporting settings for other platforms. ↩
- This behavior is consistent, regardless of the general privacy settings on a teen's profile. ↩
- Recent research has described a "control paradox" that may influence user behavior and attitudes toward information disclosures online. In spaces where users feel they have control over the publication of their private information, they may "give less importance to control (or lack thereof) of the accessibility and use of that information by others." See, Laura Brandimarte, et al.: "Misplaced Confidences: Privacy and the Control Paradox." ↩
- This question does not reference sexual solicitations and could include an array of contact that made the teen feel scared or uncomfortable. ↩

Leaving children in cars, fateful mistake
How could this have happened?
That's the question that many parents, no doubt, asked themselves following the death of 15-month-old Benjamin Seitz in Ridgefield earlier this week. The toddler died after his father, Kyle Seitz, reportedly forgot him in the back set of his car, and he was left there for hours while Kyle was at work. It's a horrific, preventable tragedy that's caused many to shake their heads, wondering how a parent could forget his child.
According to medical experts, it's easier than you might think.
"We all find this horrifying, because we all realize that this could be us," said Dr. Carl Baum, attending physician in the pediatric emergency department, of Yale-New Haven Children's Hospital.
Experts said there's often a perfect storm of factors that allow tragedies like this to happen, such as the many distractions of daily life, a break in a routine or the mere fact that a baby in a rear-facing carseat in the backseat can be hard to see.
Baum blames the phenomenon on multitasking -- such as driving a car while talking on a phone and simultaneously thinking about some other task entirely.
"We live in a distracting world," he said. "People have a perception that, when they do a lot of things, they're doing them well."
More InformationHow heat rises
Cars parked in direct sunlight can reach internal temperatures of up to 131 to 172 degrees Fahrenheit when outside temperatures are 80 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
The temperature inside a car rises about 20 degrees for every 10 minutes it's outside.
When the outside temperature is 83 degrees, the inside temperature of the car can reach 109 degrees in as little as 15 minutes, even with the window slightly rolled down.
When outside temperatures are in the 60s a car temperature can still rise well above 110 degrees.

The reality, he said, is that doing so many tasks at once divides one's attention, allowing tragic oversights to occur.
Benjamin Seitz's death is just one of several recent high-profile cases of children left behind in hot cars. Another is the death of 22-month-old Cooper Harris, of Atlanta, Ga., who died June 18 after being left in his father's car all day. In that case, there's some question whether the death might have been intentional.
Though the media attention given to these cases might make them seem like a common occurrence, this is a phenomenon that's relatively rare.
Since 1998 about 622 children have died of heatstroke after being left in cars, average of 38 children a year, according to research from the San Francisco State University Department of Geosciences. In 50 percent of these deaths, parents or other caregivers simply forgot the child was in the car. Last year, there were 44 such cases. Contrast that to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, which kills an average of 2,000 children a year.
But its rarity doesn't make it any less of a tragedy, said Susan Dieterich, clinical psychologist with St. Vincent's Behavioral Health in Westport.
"It's infrequent, but unbearable," she said.
Dieterich echoed Baum's thoughts that the many responsibilities of modern parenting can play a role in these deadly mistakes. When a parents are going about their daily tasks, she said, their higher brain functions are focusing on whatever it is they have to do next, while the lower brain functions are focused on the mechanics of driving the car. As unfathomable as it seems, Dieterich said, this division of brain function can lead a parent to forget the child is in the car -- particularly if the child is asleep.
Another possible factor in these horrifying incidents is a break in routine -- for instance, if one parent usually drops off a child at day care and is forced by circumstance to shift the responsibility to someone else for the day. So often, the brain runs on autopilot and it can be hard to break out of that pre-scripted behavior, said Kevin Borrup, associate director of the injury prevention center at Connecticut Children's Medical Center. As an example, he used a deceptively benign scenario.
"When you always leave your keys in the same place, and then you one day leave them in a different place and forget where you put them," he said.
By that same token, a parent who isn't used to bringing a child to day care might drive right by the facility. It's one thing if the child being driven is old enough to notice the mistake, Borrup said.
"Older kids will remind you and laugh at your mistake," he said. But when the child in question is a baby, that simple mistake can have awful consequences.
There are ways parents can train themselves to make sure they look in the back seat before leaving the car. Experts suggest leaving something you need on the back seat next to a child, like a cellphone, which most people use throughout the day, or a shoe, or the key fob that locks the car door.
"It's just one more layer of protection to prevent us from leaving a child in the car," Baum said.

Harry Callahan
American, 1912–1999
City and Beach, c. 1950
silver print on paper
25.3 x 20.3 cm Image: 17.1 x 15.9 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Acquired with funds from an anonymous donor
Almost every morning Harry Callahan would walk the city he lived in, Chicago, and take numerous pictures. He would then spend most of the afternoon making proof prints of the day's best negatives. Inspired by his own everyday surroundings, Callahan would focus on and celebrate that which was considered commonplace. His ability to find beauty and the unexpected in the banal influenced generations of photographers to consider their day-to-day lives and environments worthy subject matter for art making. City and Beach is indicative of Callahan's walking tours and his mastery of employing the technique of double exposure to create mesmerizing images of conflated opposites and incongruous pairings.

Touch 'n' Go - Ignite That Classic With the Push of a Button
Technology is one of those things that can be either a huge burden or a huge convenience, depending on how you look at it. Anyone who's driven a car less than 10 years old is probably familiar with things like automatic door locks, electric windows, perhaps even remote start capabilities. But for most of us, those types of modern amenities aren't present when it comes to our old trucks. Thankfully, if you're a bit of a technophile like myself, the latest and greatest technological, whiz-bang gizmos found in the current crop of contemporary automobilia eventually trickle into the automotive aftermarket.
One of the more recent developments that were only available in the most exotic marquees only a few years ago is the keyless ignition. Available in a variety of forms, from the most advanced RFID-detected, keyless setups to the basic FOB-activated system, this technology has made its way into the aftermarket and not only helps lend a more contemporary feel to our classic trucks, but it adds a whole new level of security than the simple keyed ignition could ever hope for.
Flaming River has expanded upon their popular line of steering components to include a brand-new keyless entry system that uses a FOB-based docking station and push-button ignition combined with a keyless entry module that allows the user to enter their vehicle with the push of one button and fire it up with a second, all while utilizing the latest in random code-generated security.
The system is controlled by the near reader module, which is basically the brain of the setup. It's wired directly to the docking station that communicates with a computer chip built into the key fob. Once the key fob is in place, the docking station gives the "OK" to the module and the push button becomes active, allowing the user to enter accessory, ignition, and start modes via the push of the button. A set of three relays then send the signal from the switch out to the corresponding set of inputs.
I really like integrating contemporary technology into the old trucks, especially if it can be done without harming the vintage aesthetic. With my '68 C10, I'm tweaking a few things to give it a slightly modern vibe, but I don't want to go overboard. With the addition of the keyless kit, I opted to get rid of the stock ignition switch, replaced by a push button from a Honda S2000. While the idea of using something borrowed from an import caused a bit of a dilemma at first, I quickly got over it once the button was mocked up in place. It fit the overall feel I wanted for the truck and wasn't overly out of place. The docking station on the other hand was a bit harder to sort, but I figured out a pretty slick location for it and in the end, it turned out better than I had expected. Check out the install and you'll see what I mean, then head over to www.flamingriver.com and check out their keyless ignition line for yourself.
