Big momma's watching you
New monitoring devices will enable parents to keep
close tabs on how their teenagers are behaving behind the wheel -- whether
they're driving recklessly, whether they're wearing seat belts, and whether
they are really going to the library like they promised.

Say what? Wasn't job loss the center of the debate in the last
presidential election?
What?! The fact of the matter is, the most successful
companies are outsourcers. And a Dartmouth
study found that outsourcers are the
bigger job creators. Since 1992, America has lost 361 million jobs, but
during that same time, it also gained 380 million jobs — millions more than
it lost.

Diefenbach knows where
Iraq is on the map
A Midland man was trained to fight an armed enemy before heading to Iraq. Army
1st Lt. Alex Diefenbach ended up fighting poverty and need among the embattled
country's children. Diefenbach, 25, started Operation Iraqi Children's
Assistance Network, a nonprofit charity that has collected 20,000 tons of
school supplies and other goods and more than $10,000 since last April. The
relief campaign has spread from Saddam Hussein's hometown of Tikrit to four
provinces in north central Iraq. "Just being in the country, you see the
need to help in anyway you can," said Diefenbach, who last...

Canada's affirmative

effective immediately the Ontario region of the Correctional Service of Canada
is no longer maintaining an inventory for parole officer applications from the

I can't say I blame
them. I did the same thing.
Physics is among the most male-dominated of
disciplines. And while commentators bandy about many possible causes --
discrimination, the lifestyle tradeoffs required by graduate school or the
academic workplace, and, controversially, innate aptitude -- the problem seems
most directly attributable to female students abandoning physics in droves
between high school and college. So concludes a report
issued last week by the American Institute of Physics, which found that the
relatively small proportion of female faculty members in the field occurs not
because of a "leaking" pipeline within academe, but because of the
small proportion of women who choose to study physics after 12th grade.

Carnegie-Mellon first denies then admits helping to pay for the Shabazz
anti-Semitic presentation
Cohon went on to say that even though the university
did not want to sponsor Shabazz's appearance "in large part because of
the inflammatory nature of the past rhetoric of the speaker," it was
appropriate to allow the student group to bring him anyway. "Allowing
activity that one has vigorously discouraged may strike some as hypocritical,
though it is at the core of the intersection of freedom and
responsibility," Cohon wrote. And while Cohon said the actual
speech was "filled with hateful and hurtful rhetoric," he said it
"was also not in keeping with the history of the Spirit Organization nor,
we firmly believe, of the values of its collective membership, nor its intent
in sponsoring the speaker."
"Paying for Shabazz," Inside Higher Ed, February 23, 2005 --- http://www.insidehighered.com/insider/paying_for_shabazz
The following module is quoted from http://www.trinity.edu/rjensen/tidbits022205.htm
A really bad case of hate
at Carnegie Mellon University: Is this academic freedom?
An appearance by Malik Shabazz at Carnegie Mellon
University last week has infuriated Jewish students, who say he not only
devoted a university lecture to attacking them, but broke university rules and
asked that Jewish students identify themselves as Jews before a hostile
audience. A columnist for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, who managed to
stay at the appearance when other journalists were forced to leave, wrote:
"Shabazz travels with a retinue of young men and women in jackboots, arm
patches and berets. One wandered about with a nightstick. Another snapped
photos of white people in the audience.... Try to imagine Farrakhan in
Nuremberg." Shabazz could not be reached for comment Monday. Nor
could members of the black student group that organized the appearance.
Carnegie Mellon officials said that they tried to persuade the students not to
invite Shabazz, who has been criticized as an anti-Semite not only by Jewish
organizations but by groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center. But the
university decided that its commitment to free expression meant that the
students were given the final say.

What would Woody Allen
say about this?
Certainly the dominant note of the event (a gathering
"in celebration and mourning," as a few speakers put it) was to
insist that Derrida's work deserved more serious notice than it had received
in the American press following his death in September. In welcoming the
audience, Peter Goodrich, a professor of law at Cardozo, noted that people who
were "unimpeded by any knowledge of what they're talking about"
evidently felt an especially passionate urge to denounce Derrida. Although no
speaker mentioned it as such, the most egregious example was undoubtedly the
obituary in The New York Times -- a tour de force of malice and intellectual
laziness, by someone whose entire knowledge of Derrida's work appeared to have
been gleaned from reading the back of a video box for the Woody Allen film
Deconstructing Harry.

Here's what Woody Allen
would say!
In the Woody Allen movie "Annie Hall" a
character is sounding off about the Canadian media theorist Marshall MacLuhan
when the subject himself appears and says: "Excuse me, I'm Marshall
MacLuhan. You know nothing of my work." Woody Allen then turns to the
audience and asks, "don't you wish life were like that?"

Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, start all over again
I have worked as a college instructor for 15 years. During the past five
years, I've had to adapt my lectures to address the damage done to students as
a result of years of receiving accolades just for showing up to class.
Students' responses to criticism have ranged from crying “You hate me!” to
obstinate proclamations of “I prefer to do it my way.” Personally, I
don't give a rat's backside for talent, genius or a stuffed résumé. The
students who are successful are the ones who can adapt and are resilient when
their work stumbles. However, these are acquired traits in an education
system where failure is a four-letter word and, as such, is never addressed.

Just another day on my
fraud beat
California's insurance commissioner said yesterday
that he was investigating several insurers that appeared to be overcharging
home buyers for title insurance, then splitting the excessive fees with the
people who had steered them the business. The commissioner, John
Garamendi, said he had subpoenaed the records of two title insurers, Fidelity
National Financial and LandAmerica
Financial Group. More subpoenas would be served soon, he said, including
some to financial services companies and real estate firms that have title
insurance companies.

This seems like a good time to repeat an earlier tidbit.
They weren't working
solely in their clients' best interest.
The study was instigated by Steven D. Levitt, a
self-described "rogue economist" who has applied the analytical
tools of his trade to everything from sumo wrestlers to drug-dealing gangs;
his work is cataloged in the forthcoming book "Freakonomics,"
written with Stephen J. Dubner. Professor Levitt had fixed up and sold
several houses in Oak Park, Ill., a suburb of Chicago. When working with real
estate agents, he said, "I got the impression they weren't working solely
in their clients' best interest."

I'd be willing to bet big
money that you didn't know this.
United Kingdom regulators warned that banks need to
strengthen their back-office systems and risk controls to keep up with the
swift expansion of the $5.44 trillion credit-derivatives market. The
credit-derivatives market has grown explosively in recent years, starting from
almost nothing in the mid-1990s and increasing to an estimated $5.44 trillion
by 2004, according to Deutsche Bank figures. The most common kind of credit
derivative is the credit-default swap, which works like an insurance policy to
transfer the risk that a company will default on its debt.

Rotten Apples in the NCAA
Barrel: Should these be our heroes on Saturdays?
Thirty of the 117 colleges that play in Division I-A, the NCAA's top
competitive level -- better than one in four -- were punished by the
association's Committee on Infractions from 2000 to 2004, a review of the
NCAA's database on major infractions shows. Many of the nation's most
prominent sports programs are among them, including Miami, Colorado, USC,
Auburn, Texas, Georgia, Kentucky, Michigan and Nebraska. (The association
actually punished Division I-A colleges 32 times during that time period, as
two sports programs -- the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities and the
University of Washington -- were cited twice for rule breaking.)

It's an outrage:
The courts are not your friend when your identity's been stolen
The recent security breach at data aggregator
ChoicePoint that exposed at least 145,000 consumers to identity theft and
renewed a call for regulation of the data industry will likely leave victims
of the breach twice bitten -- first from the identity theft itself and second
from thwarted attempts to recover damages for their losses if they decide to
seek recourse. Legal experts say that people who suffered losses as a
result of the breach will find it difficult to get compensation from
ChoicePoint for selling their personal data to con artists, even if the
victims can prove that ChoicePoint was negligent in screening customers who
purchased their data. That's because courts have been unwilling to penalize
companies when victims of identity theft are not their direct customers.

A university becomes a
business
Few university presidents have a hard-core business
style quite like Drexel's Constantine Papadakis. But critics say the
university's financial focus conflicts with other values that might improve
the school's academic standing. Drexel Tries Online Classes And Fancy
Marketing. But few university presidents have a hard-core business style
quite like Dr. Papadakis's. He has deployed sophisticated marketing tactics,
tried to improve productivity by digitizing coursework and has beefed up the
114-year-old institution by taking over a troubled medical school. He has
quintupled the university's endowment to $470 million, doubled undergraduate
enrollment to 9,800 and recorded an $83 million surplus in 2004 on revenue of
more than $500 million.

Radical shift away from
the humanities
"Phasing out Greek would be, and indeed has already been, taken by
undergraduates, alumni, and outside writers as a sign, at the very least, that
Brandeis is engaged in a radical shift away from the humanities," the
panel said in its report, a copy of which was obtained by Inside Higher Ed. It
added that eliminating the study of ancient Greek would have "profoundly
negative consequences" on the classics program at the university, making
it impossible for any undergraduates at the university to apply to graduate
programs in the field. Similarly, the faculty panel rejected proposals
to phase out the linguistics major and a graduate program in musical
composition, and to reduce the size of the physics department.

The

China is edging up in
technology research
Microsoft’s Advanced Technology Center (ATC) opened
in November 2003 with 20 employees and a couple of projects. By late last
year, after receiving more than 30,000 résumés from around China and
sparking keen demand among Microsoft’s business divisions, it had around 100
employees, with some 17 major projects and scores of minor ones on its books;
this year, the ATC is set to double in size. In the next few years, the center
expects to be the key technology transfer point for a host of new products,
from Web-search technologies to mobile applications and home entertainment
systems. On the strength of these innovations, Hongjiang Zhang, the center’s
charter director, hopes to provide a powerful alternative to Microsoft’s
traditional strategy of creating products in the U.S., spiraling into Europe,
and then adapting them for the Chinese market. “China is still emerging, but
China is no longer just a follower,” he says. “They are starting to
lead.”

Erika Jensen was driving home from one of her shopping trips in Northern New Hampshire when she saw an elderly neighbor walking on the side of the road. Feeling sorry for the woman trudging up the mountain road in the cold, Erika stopped the car and asked Mrs. O'Leary if she would like a ride up Sugar Hill.
With a word or two of thanks, she got in the car.
After resuming the journey and a bit of small talk, Mrs. O'Leary noticed a brown box on the seat behind Erika.
"What's in the box?" Asked Mrs. O'Leary?. Erika looked back at the brown box and said, "It's a bottle of wine. I got it on eBay for my husband."
Mrs. O'Leary was silent for a moment, and then said, "Good trade."
Erika chuckled to herself at the moment. But when she got home she seriously commenced to search until she found a headline reading "Christie's to Auction Computer Relics."

They're going to miss us

Impending baby boomer retirements, a widening skills gap driven by declining
educational standards, and outdated and ineffective approaches to talent
management are combining forces to produce a "perfect storm" that

Massachusetts may miss
them when they're gone
The decline in permanent, fulltime professors at
UMass-Amherst, accompanied by increased numbers of temporary and parttime
teachers, echoes a national trend on college campuses. Nationwide, the number
of full-time, temporary faculty grew by one-third from 1998 to 2001, and
almost half of all college faculty are now part-time teachers, according to
the American Association of University Professors. In Massachusetts,
while enrollment has held steady at the state's flagship campus, it has lost
almost 200 permanent, full-time professors in the last decade. This 19-percent
decline in tenured and tenure-track faculty has damaged educational quality
and threatens the university's reputation, according to faculty union leaders.
Last week, they launched a campaign to educate the public about the changes,
and challenged university trustees to join them.
