text: December 7th, 2006 Is it a ghost or something more sinister? Sightings of a mysterious hooded figure in the North Western Astoria woods are on the rise after the tragic conclusion of the Eckert Family search last week. The bloody remains of wild animals have been showing up on hiking paths and on the river banks in the area. The whole region has been swept up in the hysteria and a mood of fear and paranoia is present as these sightings persist. Paired with the continued discoveries of grizzly murders in the region, we can only hope the Astoria Police Department and the Rangers in the area are able to solve this strange case and bring the town back to a sense of normalcy.

PEKING (Reuters) – Chinese manufacturing growth slowed in June following a better-than-expected performance in May, according to official data, as escalating trade tensions with the US raise concerns about a slowdown in the world's second largest Economy.
China's economy has already felt the plight of a multi-year crackdown on risk takers, which has boosted companies' borrowing costs by encouraging the central bank to divert more money by cutting lender reserve requirements.
The PMI, which was released on Saturday, dropped to 51.5 in June, below analyst estimates of 51.6 and 51.9 in May, but remained well above the 50-point mark, the growth of contraction separates 23rd straight month.
The results are in line with recent data, including credit growth, investment and retail sales, which indicate a slowdown in Chinese economy growth as policymakers steer debt risk and a heated trade chain with the United States.
Significantly, the index of new export orders fell in June for the first time since February, falling from 51.2 in May to 49.8.
A production sub-index fell from 54.1 in May to 53.6 in June, while the subindex for new orders declined from 53.8 to 53.2.
The PMI for large companies fell from 53.1 in May to 52.9 in June, the index for mid-sized companies fell from 51.0 to 49.9, while the index for small businesses dropped from 49.6 to 49, 8 increase.
"Domestic demand is weakening and external demand is under pressure from the escalating trade friction between China and the US," said Wen Bin, chief economist at Minsheng Bank in Beijing.
Wen said he expects the central bank to further reduce banks' reserve ratios (RRRs) in the coming months to counteract a stronger economic slowdown.
The central bank said on June 24 that it would lower the RRR by 50 basis points for some banks in order to accelerate the pace of debt-to-equity swaps and encourage lending to smaller companies.
With the official PMI for manufacturing reaching an eight-month high in May, there was growing evidence that China's economy was slowing down.
Credit growth has slowed this year as the government erodes many types of loans, and the tighter liquidity environment appears to be impacting growth.
On July 16, the government will publish GDP growth data for the second quarter and other key indicators.
ANZ analysts forecast growth of 6.7 percent for the second quarter, down from 6.8 percent in the first quarter.
In May, industrial production, retail sales, and fixed asset investment fell short of expectations as car sales declined and local governments slashed construction while inquiring about their loans from Beijing.
While the economy could overcome these internal challenges without dramatically slowing growth, the US trade dispute is compounding uncertainty over how China's economy will respond.
With US President Donald Trump increasing pressure on China with the threat of new tariffs and investment restrictions, China's stock markets and currency suffered one of the worst months since June.
After a continued sell off, the Chinese yuan and stock markets rebounded somewhat on Friday, but investors struggled with some of their worst losses in years when a fierce trade chain between China and the US threatened to clash the country.
The United States has threatened to impose tariffs on Chinese imports of up to $ 450 billion, with the first $ 34 billion coming into force on July 6.
China's exports have held up relatively well this year, with shipments rising 12.6 percent in dollars in May.
But the decline in new export orders in June could point to tougher times for exports.
A sister survey showed that Chinese service sector growth picked up slightly in June. The PMI for the non-manufacturing sector rose to 55.0 from 54.9 in the previous month.
An undervalued construction activity, a key growth driver for 2017, was 60.7 in June, down from 60.1 in May.
Chinese policymakers expect service and consumption growth to rebalance their economic growth model from their heavy reliance on investment and exports. The services sector today accounts for more than half of the economy, and rising wages are giving more influence to Chinese consumers.
The manufacturing and services manufacturing PMI dropped to 54.4 points in May (May 54.6).

The idea of traveling across the country is seemingly sewn into the mind fabric of most RV and camping enthusiasts in America. A trip that spans from coast to coast is an ultimate must-do for an RVer, it's the gold standard of American vacations, it's the type of trip that's supposed to be life changing, eye opening, and unforgettable.
It's also a beast of an excursion to plan. Luckily, there are only three overarching considerations you should keep in mind to help turn the cross-country trip of your dreams into a real-life epic adventure.
Plan Your Potential Route
There are lots of routes you can take to cross the country in your RV – Florida to California, Washington to Maine, Virginia to Oregon, and any other state-to-state variation in between. The route you ultimately choose will of course depend on what areas you want to see, but don't forget to keep the total mileage in mind. Some routes will require that you drive, say, 2,800 miles, while others could reach 3,500 miles. And that doesn't include side trips or meandering. Planning your general route out in advance will help you select a reasonable timeline for your trip.
Don't Rush the Drive
Speaking of timelines … yes, you'll be driving across the country. But that's not the only thing you should be doing with your time. You should also be enjoying the scenery, making stops in places you want to visit, and even stop in places you never thought you would visit. Want to touch the hand of Elvis? Just pull over in Tupelo, Mississippi, and visit the bronze statue of The King. Did you know there are sculptures of enormous animals and people along the "Enchanted Highway" near Regent, North Dakota? You'd miss these things – and so much more – if you were simply barreling across the country in a hurry.
That said, for a proper trip, plan to travel for several weeks – at least four if you can swing it – and don't plan to drive more than five hours each day. This will allow you to stop occasionally when you want to and not feel pressure to keep moving every second of every day.
Stay Awhile
When you get to the designated places on your itinerary, you should plan to stay in those destinations for at least two days. This will allow you to enjoy the area, get to know some local hot spots, and (perhaps most importantly) get a respite from being on the road. Make sure these longer stops have options for the type of camping you want to do, whether plugging in at a campground with amenities or boondocking under the stars.
The cross-country trip is yours, so make it the way you want it.

Hi Fran,
Thanks for the post, and welcome to the community!
The only SoundTouch system that's able to create a stereo pair is the SoundTouch 10 system. If you do decide to get a 2nd SoundTouch 20 system, you can do "Play All" to multiple speakers to sync audio (however it wouldn't be a stereo pair since both speakers are playing both L+R audio).
With the new generation SoundTouch speakers, you can connect a device via bluetooth to play audio, and play all to multiple speakers. This works with all SoundTouch speakers.
Let us know if you have any other questions!

HalfStaffed Farms
Half-Staffed Farms. KIDWELLY WAR COMMITTEE'S FINDINGS. The newly-appointed warjagricultural com- mittee at Kidwelly has reported as follows to the county committee "That there is a great scarcity of agri- cultural labourers in the district, the farms almost without exception being not half staffed. "That without additional labour it is im- possible to maintain the present production of food from farm lands, and much more im- possible to increase the production. "That the district is well supplied with agricultural implements and machinery. "With regard to feeding-stuffs and fertilisers, the committee considers that the prices charged are exorbitant and the high charges for carriage and the aelay in delivery by the railway companies add greatly to the difficulty." The committee feels that the Government has not given proper support to the farmers, and suggests that the Government be askea to take immediate steps to place the agri- cultural industry in Wales on a sound footing

la Memoriam
la Memoriam Lance-Corporal Edwin Phillips, who was killed in acion in Gallpoli, December 5th, 1915.). (By the Rev J. Dyfnallt Owen). The restrained joys of Christmas were in our hearts when the last Sunday of the year dawned to disturb our thoughts. We .began to reflect on the past, and immediately the words of the Evangelist, Mark came to our minds, "And when he thought of these things, he wept." It was the last service of David m,editating and reflecting on a romantic career and the overpowering sense of God in his life. We prayed for forgiveness for things undone, believing that God would fill the gaps if we rendered Him service that was pure and sin- cere in motive. And before we sang the old hymnsi which has brought light to the sad face of mourners for generations, the sad tale was told the congregation how another member had fallen in action in Gallipoli. The young a people knew him well. Did he not fight their battles in conferences and committees? Had he not given ungrudgingly of his time to de- fend their rights? Edwin Phillips never spared himself as secretary of the Shop Assist- ants' Association. He had one of the greatest assets in life- capacity for friendsliip-a frank and genial nature, which was contagious. His life was full of kind-hearted impulses. I shall never forget the experiences he related once at a young people's prayer meeting. It was one of the most touching confessions of soul-experi- ence. A man of his temperament was natur- ally susceptible to the temptations of life, but has tender heart, his love of home and parents, and the early religious impressions he received never left him. The sorrow of the congregation was some- what relieved when the story of his burial was told in the words of one who was present:- "We have lost one of our chaps this week, poor Phillips We were four Lammas j street members burying him. It was a &ad thing burying in the dark, but he had a nice buritail, and the chaplain spoke well. Our Major was also with us." There stood the four Lammas street friends weeping i n the dark, the tears of pain; yea, and they wept for the whole congregation. And "thoughts that do lie too deep for tears" aame to our mind as we endvoured to pio- ture that sad scene in the land of desolation iand death. "The honour of hie country he sought, counting his life as but a thing of nought." They left him with others in the camp of the dead. Soon they struck their tents for another destination, but he wont before them on his journey home. Duw a wyldo dros "fan fechan ei fedd."

大发彩神大发快三了S. Korea's production, consumption fall in June on worry about Japan's export curbs
- 时间:
- 浏览:0
SEOUL, July 31 (Xinhua) -- South Korea's industrial production and private consumption fell last month amid growing worry about Japan's export curbs, a government report showed Wednesday.
The seasonally-adjusted production in all industries, excluding the agricultural, forestry and fishery sectors, declined 0.7 percent in June from a month ago, after sliding 0.3 percent in the prior month, according to Statistics Korea.
Retail sales, which reflect private consumption, retreated 1.6 percent in June from a month earlier, turning downward after growing 0.9 percent in May.
The reductions came amid rising concern about Japan's export restriction against South Korea. Japan slapped export control early this month over three materials exported to South Korea that are used to produce memory chips and display panels.
Japan allegedly planned to announce the removal later this week of South Korea from its whitelist of the preferential procedures for export, a move estimated to have a negative effect on as many as 1,000 items or so in trade between the two countries.
South Korea's export, which accounts for about half of the economy, slipped for the seventh straight month through June.
The country's real gross domestic product (GDP), adjusted for inflation, rebounded 1.1 percent in the second quarter from three months earlier, after contracting 0.4 percent in the previous quarter.
The rebound was mainly attributed to the increased fiscal spending to bolster infrastructure development in non-metropolitan areas.
The Bank of Korea (BOK) cut its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points earlier this month to 1.50 percent, citing concern about the trade row with Japan.
The central bank also slashed this year's growth forecast by 0.3 percentage points to 2.2 percent.
Production in the mining and manufacturing industries grew 0.2 percent in June from a month earlier on recovery in semiconductors and display panels that offset a decline in export production.
Output among manufacturers rose 0.2 percent on the rebound in electronic parts, including chips.
Shipment in the manufacturing sector expanded 1.4 percent in the month, but inventory among manufacturers fell 0.9 percent.
Manufacturers posted an average capacity ratio of 71.9 percent in June, unchanged from the previous month.
Production in the services industry dipped 1 percent in June from a year ago.
Facility investment rebounded 0.4 percent last month, after contracting 7.1 percent in the previous month. From a year earlier, the capital spending tumbled 9.3 percent.
Completed construction shrank 0.4 percent in June from a month ago.
The cyclical factor for leading indicators, which measure outlook for future economic conditions, shed 0.2 points in June from a month earlier, and the figure for coincident indicators fell 0.1 point last month.
During the April-June quarter, the industrial production gained 0.5 percent from the previous three-month period.
Retail sales grew 1 percent and facility investment advanced 1.1 percent on the second quarter from threes months earlier.

If you are Bear hunter and want a great opportunity to see and shoot trophy Bears.....don't pass on this. That tag won't last long. PM me if you want to talk Bears.
The guys had killed four bear that night one guy killed early we skinned the bear wish we would of waited and got 4 on the picture, the most we killed one night is 5 over the years. If u want a quality hunt bordering the Riding Mountains one of the highest density of bear in the world, would love to give u that experience doesn't get any better.
We started guiding for bear in 1994 we had 4 tags east of the Riding mountains 20 miles, I helped Manfred Racine guiding right beside the park too when I could was thinking if he ever sold out it would be a great opurtunity to expand and get right besides the park. Well it happened in 1998 he put his outfitting business up for sale now I had to come up with a lot of money and it was scarce then the only way I could get the money to buy most of the business was to mortgage my place the wife did not like that idea and the father-in-law too. Well I stuck out my neck and got a mortgage and some bear tags and thank the Lord it worked out got it payed in 5 years. Now we have a nice camp right along the park where all our bear tags r now. Camp
Just got a call from a fellow from Wisconsin he's putting a deposit in the mail. I want to thank u all that have been here to support us and give u a hunt of a lifetime without u guys this wouldn't happen thank u again from the Desjardins.

Throughout this Privacy Policy we'll refer to our website, mobile applications and other products and services collectively as "Services."

Please note that this Privacy Policy does not apply to any of our products or services that have a separate privacy policy. If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us.
Information We Collect
We only collect information about you if we have a reason to do so–for example, to provide our Services, to communicate with you, or to make our Services better.
We collect information in three ways: if and when you provide information to us, automatically through operating our services, and from outside sources.
Information You Provide to Us
It's probably no surprise that we collect information that you provide to us. The amount and type of information depends on the context and how we use the information. Here are some examples:
- Basic Account Information: We ask for basic information from you in order to set up your account. For example, we require individuals who sign up for a GuruYuga account to provide their email address and other required information.
- Public Profile Information: If you have an account with us, we collect the information that you provide for your public profile. For example, your username is part of that public profile, along with any other information you put into your public profile. Your public profile is just that–public–so please keep that in mind when deciding what information you would like to include.
- Transaction and Billing Information: If you buy something from us–a subscription to our API services, for example–you will provide additional personal and payment information that is required to process the transaction and your payment, such as your name, credit card information, and contact information.
- Communications with Us: You may also provide us information when you respond to surveys, communicate with us about a support question, or contact us via our contact form or email address.
Information We Collect Automatically
We also collect some information automatically:
- Log Information: Like most online service providers, we collect information that web browsers, mobile devices, and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, IP address, unique device identifiers, language preference, referring site, the date and time of access, operating system, and mobile network information. We collect log information when you use our Services–for example, when you visit our website, access our API, use our mobile application.
- Usage Information: We collect information about your usage of our Services. For example, we collect information about the actions that users perform on a site–in other words, who did what, when and to what thing on a site. We also collect information about what happens when you use our Services (e.g., page views, searches, button clicks) along with information about your device (e.g., mobile screen size, name of cellular network, and mobile device manufacturer). We use this information to, for example, provide our Services to you, as well as get insights on how people use our Services, so we can make our Services better.
- Location Information: We may determine the approximate location of your device from your IP address. We collect and use this information to, for example, calculate how many people visit our Services from certain geographic regions. We may also collect information about your precise location via our mobile apps (when, for example, you post a photograph with location information) if you allow us to do so through your mobile device operating system's permissions.
- Stored Information: We may access information stored on your mobile device via our mobile app. We access this stored information through your device operating system's permissions. For example, if you give us permission to access the photographs on your mobile device, our Services may access the photos stored on your device when you upload a photo of yours to set it as your profile photo.
- Information from Cookies & Other Technologies: A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor's computer, and that the visitor's browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns.

The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

The information we receive depends on which services you authorize and any options that are available.

Sharing Information
How We Share Information
We do not sell our users' private personal information.
We share information about you in the limited circumstances spelled out below and with appropriate safeguards on your privacy:
- Subsidiaries, Employees, and Independent Contractors: We may disclose information about you to our subsidiaries, our employees, and individuals who are our independent contractors that need to know the information in order to help us provide our Services or to process the information on our behalf. We require our subsidiaries, employees, and independent contractors to follow this Privacy Policy for personal information that we share with them.
- Third Party Vendors: We may share information about you with third party vendors who need to know information about you in order to provide their services to us. This group includes vendors that help us provide our Services to you (like payment providers that process your credit and debit card information) and those that help us understand and enhance our Services (like analytics providers). We require vendors to agree to privacy commitments in order to share information with them. Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
- As Required by Law: We may disclose information about you in response to a subpoena, court order, or other governmental request.
- To Protect Rights and Property: We may disclose information about you when we believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of GuruYuga, third parties, or the public at large. For example, if we have a good faith belief that there is an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury, we may disclose information related to the emergency without delay.
- Business Transfers: In connection with any merger, sale of company assets, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by another company, or in the unlikely event that GuruYuga goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would likely be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. If any of these events were to happen, this Privacy Policy would continue to apply to your information and the party receiving your information may continue to use your information, but only consistent with this Privacy Policy.
- With Your Consent: We may share and disclose information with your consent or at your direction. For example, we may share your information with third parties with which you authorize us to do so.
- Aggregated and De-Identified Information: We may share information that has been aggregated or reasonably de-identified, so that the information could not reasonably be used to identify you. For instance, we may publish aggregate statistics about the use of our Services.
- Published Support Requests: And if you send us a request (for example, via a support email or one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish that request in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users.
Information Shared Publicly
Information that you choose to make public is–you guessed it–disclosed publicly. That means, of course, that information like your public profile, comments, are all available to others. Public information may also be indexed by search engines or used by third parties. Please keep all of this in mind when deciding what you would like to share.
While no online service is 100% secure, we work very hard to protect information about you against unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction, and take reasonable measures to do so.
You have several choices available when it comes to information about you:
- Limit the Information that You Provide: If you have an account with us, you can choose not to provide the optional account information, profile information, and transaction and billing information. Please keep in mind that if you do not provide this information, certain features of our Services–for example, paid services–may not be accessible.
- Limit Access to Information On Your Mobile Device: Your mobile device operating system should provide you with the ability to discontinue our ability to collect stored information or location information via our mobile apps. If you do so, you may not be able to use certain features (like uploading a photograph, for example).
- Opt-Out of Electronic Communications: You may opt out of receiving promotional messages from us. Just follow the instructions in those messages. If you opt out of promotional messages, we may still send you other messages, like those about your account and legal notices.
- Set Your Browser to Reject Cookies: You can choose to set your browser to remove or reject browser cookies before using GuruYuga's websites, with the drawback that certain features of GuruYuga's websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

text: CHINESE DRYWALL AND THE SMELL TEST The first government report on Chinese drywall is out . . . sort of: "On Monday, Florida's health department said preliminary tests show there's no 'specific' health hazard associated with the sulfur-based gases coming from the drywall, but the agency is conducting additional tests. 'It's not that we are saying it's safe,' Florida toxicologist David Krause told reporters on a conference call on Monday. 'We are moving forward on a much more detailed in-depth' study. The test results released by the state health department on Monday did make one, definitive conclusion: Chinese-made drywall contained strontium sulfide, a material that's known to have the odor of hydrogen sulfide in moist air. The U.S-made drywall did not contain this material. The most common evidence of Chinese drywall problems is the corrosion of air conditional equipment, which is turning black and failing repeatedly. Homeowners have also complained about respiratory problems they believe are connected to the drywall." [Developments]

The recent deaths of Ethiopians show how avarice for money is a danger to human life. It can drive someone to exploiting the misery of the other, even to the point of killing a person. In such behaviour human beings reduce themselves to something less than human. Unfortunately, it isn't rare to see people gaining money by savage means. Will you also kill a person for money?
Kill for money, a tragedy across countries
On 15th of June 2016 the immigration authorities of the Democratic Republic of Congo intercepted a Zambian container truck. It was the banging sounds coming from the container that caused suspicion. When they opened the truck, 95 Ethiopians were found crowed in there behind the bags of beans and fish, with 11 persons among them already dead most likely by suffocation. The death toll has risen to 19. The earlier reports had mistaken these Ethiopians for Somalians (Warning: disturbing pictures 15 Somalians Suffocate). That was the tragic end of the journey most likely to South Africa, after traversing Kenya, Tanzania and northern Zambia. Yes, inhumanity cuts across several countries.
There's more to it than illegal migration
When someone goes as far as endangering other people's lives in such a way it just shows that the problem is much more serious than just illegal migration. If one can let others die for money it's actually our own humanity being taken prisoner by greed, leading to as far as taking advantage of another person's misery. Let's look closely at the victims.
People flee their country for one reason or another in search for better life. In their desperation they are easily convinced to do everything proposed to them. It's like their passion to reach the Promised Land makes them somewhat naïve and ready to embark on an adventure of thousands of kilometres in difficult conditions. I think it's human to search for better life and no one should be denied the opportunity. Governments and each person should be human enough to help these people to fulfil their dream in the right and safe way. Alas, instead of helping them, they turn them into goods for profit.
Profiting from another person's misery
It's cruel to exploit the misery of a fellow human being for profit, even worse, to abandon him to death for money. That is the fate to which immigrants are subjected. They fall into the hands of unscrupulous people who will go to any length to swindle them of the last bank-note in their pocket. What counts is gaining money but what happens to the other seems to be of little importance. Naturally, when a human being sees another person in need he wants to help. But each new day is bringing new images of a behaviour quite alien to humanity.
When human beings reconcile themselves to capitalising on the vulnerability of others they actually reduce themselves to wild animals. Dr Kenneth Kaunda would describe that as animal in man. Just check it out on Planet TV channel and you will soon understand what I'm talking about, and probably you will also agree with me. Do you know the lion's hunting strategy? It identifies a weak one from the herd and goes for it. Indeed, it is dehumanising for human beings to subscribe themselves to such wild and ruthless hunting strategy in their relations with their fellow human beings. Sadly, this is not just an isolated act of inhumanity by the Zambian truck driver. There are many other stories.
In August last year, 2015, we had a similar case of migrants' death. 71 persons suffocated in a truck in Austria. Besides, who is capable of making an up-to-date record of immigrants perishing each day? According to the recent report of the International Organization for Migration about 2, 862 persons have so far perished in the Mediterranean Sea. You call that accident if you want. I don't. Given the circumstances in which people die it's simply abhorring and irresponsible to continue speaking of accidents. That's why at times it's good to revisit the terms we use. Tell me, what's an accident?
According to Merriam-Webster dictionary, an accident is a sudden event that is not planned or intended and that causes damage or injury. But when those traffickers load their boats with persons more than double the capacity and when the Zambian truck driver packs 95 persons in the container with no ventilation; do you insist calling the direct and obvious result as accident? The 19 Ethiopians who suffocated to death are not victims of an accident. Someone took advantage of their desperation, swindled them of money and finally abandoned them to death.
Besides, the amount of money that traffickers demand is just unbelievable. A journey that will cost an ordinary traveller few hundred dollars, traffickers will demand thousands of dollars. Examples are endless.
Why telling this story?
For us on this blog singlehumanity the idea is not so much focalising on people out there who abandon others to death because of money. The idea is to use such experiences to check our own behaviour. How is my attitude vis-à-vis the weaker ones? Don't I also in some way kill the little ones to my advantage?
Surely, promoting our common humanity does not come about through political, impressive parades before cameras. It begins right with me through simple, genuine act of humanity. It begins when I stretch my hand towards my fellow human being, not to drain him empty of money and life, but to give him support so that he can stand up on his own and live with dignity. That is acting according to our humanity. That is the way of building a human, and not a wild, society.
No, in the name of humanity, I will not use my fellow human being like an object for profit. I will not kill a person for money. I choose to respect the humanity in me and in others as well.

In fact, they may not be acting like fanboys at all, they are in all likelihood just excited to have modern somewhat uniform equipment for a change. Historically it's a rare school that doesn't put together their tech equipment from a patchwork of grants and cast-offs from business. In many cases the (perceived?) needs of schools are driven by specialized "educational" software that is only available on Windows and sometimes Windows/Mac. A good example of this from Oregon (no idea if it's used here, I expect it is) is Accelerated Reader. At many elementary schools the entire reading (nee Language Arts) curriculum is built around this product. Right or wrong, this is how it is. Any IT infrastructure that can't run AR is a non-starter. 2) They may use Microsoft Word just to type an essay when they only need > justification, boldface and italics, not hard-to-meet business needs that > sometimes may make MO a better choice than LO > True, but when for schools the cost of Office is zero, or close enough to zero as to not matter, they have no incentive to not use what is perceived as the "best" tool for the job, especially when it's the tool that has all the training and class material already built for it. 3) Often times this is unnecessarily more expensive and shouldn't be done > in times of tight budgets with taxpayer dollars > In many cases this just isn't true, and even if it is true with the way budgets usually work in schools, there's no incentive not to spend the money. The money earmarked for software must be spent on software, earmarked for hardware on hardware, etc, etc. Savings in one area can't be easily rolled into another area, and if the money isn't spent at all it will be reclaimed by the state and next year's funding will be reduced. > 4) In fact the budged is to tight that many public schools ask parents to > contribute money or labor (!) > Right, but as stated in my last point, public school budgets are not "agile". Even if they were to save money on hardware or software, the chances of that money finding it's way to fund something else at the school are near zero. > > 5) I'm fine if an adult freely decides to use something that will lock him > in. I'm not ok if that same adult is a teacher and pretend to lock my kids > in > They aren't locking them in for the most part. Even if they are, they aren't intentionally doing it. They are using the tools they have, which they understand to be the tools that "everyone" uses. To look at it from the other side, "I'm fine if an adult freely decides to use something that is weird and no one else uses. I'm not ok if that same adult is a teacher who isn't teaching my kid the tools they are going to need to know how to use when they get a job." Both statements are fraught with problems. Ultimately we need to teach kids how to use software at a high enough level that they can figure out any piece of software they sit in front of, and for the most, they already do that. Unfortunately, the adults that make decisions for them don't realize that. > > 6) Kids will soon ask me to buy them the same machine they use at school > because they won't like what we have at home (in my case that would be > likely microsoft vs gnu/linux, but this applies in the same way to apple vs > microsoft: diversity, not monoculture should be allowed and actually > encouraged) > This is almost certainly not true if they are used to what they have at home. After I introduced my wife to Linux she stopped using Windows entirely, and hates it when some application (Netflix, I'm looking at you) forces her to use it to do something she wants to do. Even if it is true, you have to realize that the public education systems' charter (whether most people will admit it or not) is "prepare children for entering the workforce", not "educate children to be thoughtful well-rounded human beings." This is a much more fundamental problem that needs to be addressed, but is another force incentivising use of the "normal" IT infrastructure and not paying much attention to the relatively esoteric problems of technology monocultures, especially when in practice monocultures are cheaper to support and do everything they see as being important. Kudos to you if you really want to change this, but you'll have one helluva fight ahead of you. The entire system is setup to discourage this sort of thing.
