As Professor Semitsu discusses in his article, "From Facebook to Mug Shot," not even George Orwell would have predicted that "an omniscient Big Brother" would result from government inactivity as opposed to a totalitarian takeover. There has been much criticism regarding post-9/11 changes in law allowing the government to access certain electronic files without a warrant or even probable cause. However, the U.S. population has ultimately surrendered its right to privacy to corporations. If government ever tried to persuade the average citizen to permanently document his or her every action and thought, there would be mass resistance and outrage. But when a teenage Harvard-drop out created a website for just that, hundreds of millions of people began voluntarily documenting their life (and crimes) with amazing precision. The Fourth Amendment provided U.S. citizens with over 200 years of protections to their persons, papers and effects. But today, in 2011, the Fourth Amendment does not cover anything having to do with the government's seizure of Facebook activity, email older than six (6) months, or much of our web activity. Technology allows us to neatly document our day-to-day activities, while the law allows the government to seize these writings and use them to deprive people of life and liberty without the due process granted to other papers and effects.
Argue for or against Professor Semitsu's proposition that the
system is broke and needs fixing.
Should U.S. citizens enjoy the same constitutional protections to
their social networking communications and emails as they do to
their personal diaries and hand-written correspondence? Or, should
the government have ready access to public or semi-public social
networking commentary for the purposes of legitimate law
enforcement investigations without a warrant? If the police ask the
Facebook legal department, without a warrant, for social media
records, is that similar to a detective going into a bar and
interviewing people; or, is it closer to the seizure of letters or
documents?

I'm putting together results from people and the behaviors they picked. For this one could you write about procrastination or spending more time studying? Using Learning Techniques to Change Behavior
Directions:
Step 1: Pick a behavior that you would like to change. For example maybe you want to spend more time studying, stop biting your nails, or keep your room neater.
Step 2: Operationally define the behavior: Operational definition is a very specific definition and explains how you will measure the behavior. For example, if your behavior is “more time studying” you might operationally define that as reading, writing, and/or taking notes for at least 2 hours 5 days a week.
Step 3: Then use the three types of learning to develop a program to change your behavior. Write at least 1 paragraph (minimum of 100 words) for each type and use at least 3 terms in each paragraph.

Yes there is a link between depression and difficulty with memory recall. This area of cognition is interesting in that you literally see changes in someone's thought patterns when they are under new stress patterns. When this happens, as in the case of depression, parts of the brain associated with memory are impacted. What parts are these? How has deep brain stimulation helped in some cases?

>> Like again, I told you my name is Tynesha. I got a lot of stuff to say about me, but you know, I don't know if you're going to be really interested or not. But I know I need to come here. I need something. I got two kids. My dude is at home. He's back again. He left. He comes back. He's in and out. He won't work. And I just want him there for the kids. I don't, I don't know how he sit around all day playing video games and not really helping me. I'm in nursing school. I'm trying to get my degree. My grades ain't what they supposed to be. They could be better, but they ain't because of him. He's always fussing. I can't even get my homework done. I can't get nothing done. And then everybody on me, you know, I got to work. I got to have all the money for the house. I got to take care of the kids. I got to leave work to take them to their appointments. And how much of that are they going to take before they fire me? I don't know. My friends, they help me. But they tired. They're getting tired of helping me because they say what's the point? Why is he there? He's there, and he ain't doing nothing. And you just keep taking him back, but then you ask us for our help. And I don't blame them. I know why they mad. Because they know I could do better. I'm going to nursing school. I was getting good grades. I was on the Dean's list every semester. And now here I am almost flunking. That ain't me. That ain't me. I can't keep doing this. I want my kids to have stuff. I want them to see better. I don't want them to grow up like I did in the projects or in these community apartments and watching people get shot or selling drugs. I want stuff for my family. That ain't what I want. I got to do something though because the kids, they're starting to act out at school. The teacher's calling me. They fighting with other kids. And I know what it is. You know, I know what it is. But I don't want all them people in my business. You know, but pretty soon I told him they going to be calling CSB that child protective thing or something, and then I'm going to be in trouble. Now what if they take my kids? I can't keep doing this. I can't.
>> After seeing Tynesha and haring her story, prepare a response to her using three specific listening skills. These are psycho-education or information giving, self-disclosure, and immediacy.
Questions:
1. Think about what you know about Tynesha's family, including her children and her partner. What additional information might be helpful?
2. What are some of the challenges involved in gathering information about family relationships when you are only speaking to one individual?
3. How could you adapt the genogram to working with a single client? What would be missing? Think beyond the simple lack of others' views and consider the dynamics.
4. At what point might you want to consider involving Tynesha's partner in counseling?

The weather would be turning bad overnight, but late on a sunny afternoon in gentle seas, the Commanding Officer (the CO) had a fresh cup of coffee in hand and enjoyed what little was left of the day in his designated chair on the bridge. It was an older ship, but she could still perform in an award-winning way, even if she could not land helicopters like the newer ones. They had just secured a helicopter from "flight quarters." The aircraft carrier had delivered the mail and some repair parts by lowering them by winch while still flying over the stern. The coffee was good, and all was well on board. Most of the planned work for the day had been accomplished as well, and crewmembers not on watch had some time for themselves. A young seaman was getting his physical fitness training by lifting free weights with friends. Unexpectedly, the restraining collar on the barbell came loose and the weights on that end fell off--the heavy end came straight down on the seaman's foot and broke some bones. After a quick check by Doc, a senior enlisted Hospital Corpsman, it was clear that the seaman needed a medical evacuation to the aircraft carrier, where higher levels of diagnosis and care were available. The CO would surely not be pleased! Only the helicopter flight crew was certified to fly after dark, and twilight was coming soon. The seaman's needs were beyond the capability of the medical staff on board. No further helicopter operations were scheduled for the day. The aircraft carrier was a significant flying time away, and it was unclear whether an unscheduled mission could be completed before dark. The weather conditions would be too bad for flying tomorrow--probably the next day as well. If the flight was to happen, the CO would need to arrange it with the Carrier Air Group Commander right away. Meanwhile, the injured seaman was in much pain and in significant need of care. He had never flown in a helicopter and was afraid of flying. He had not received the training for being hoisted from the deck into a flying helicopter or training in emergency egress procedures, and the broken bones in his foot were causing lots of pain anyway. A decision was needed, and there was little time to make it. If the medical evacuation mission were to be conducted, the conditions were less than great. Good advice was to be had from the Corpsman and others in the command, but the final assessment of the risks involved and the decision of what to do would rest with the CO alone. There was nothing else to be done on the ship for the injured seaman except to sedate him. And the sun was getting lower in the sky . . . quickly.

Data scandal is huge blow for Facebook The story started four years ago when Cambridge psychologist Aleksandra Kogan approached researcher Michal Kosinski to get Facebook users data, which he had collected using a simple ‘online personality quiz’ app that requires users to log in using Facebook to participate. While Kosinski refused to provide any data from his app was used to collect, Cambridge Analyitca paid Kogan over $800,000 to create a similar quiz app for him with an aim to collect Facebook users’ profile data, including the list of pages they have "liked". Kogan's personality quiz app, dubbed “this is your digital life,” was a hit. Although it is attracted 270,000 Facebook users to take part, Facebook's application programme interface (APIs) allowed collecting wide range of information about each authorized user's friends at the same time. Since an average Facebook user has hundreds of friends in his/her friend-list, Kogan was able to leverage his/her user base of 270,000 people to collect data for about 50 million Facebook users for use in its ad-targeting work. It is not only Cambridge Analytics’ quiz app, there are other thousands of other apps that you might have encountered on your Facebook timeline—such as "how you’ll look in your 80s,, "which celebrity you look like," "who will be your Valentine this year"—that work on the same model. All Facebook apps offer access of Facebook account and grant the app’s developer a range of information from your Facebook profile, like your name, location, email, and friends list. Besides this, ‘Login with Facebook’ option that you might have seen on hundreds of thousands of websites works similarly by allowing site administration to offer one-click login/signup for ease to verify people’s identity.
