I will be writing your daily astrology from inside the Rick Tarnas workshop on the comic genius, which starts in about two hours.<\/p>\n

Until then — stay calm.<\/p>\n

The Moon is in Cancer, and you may be subject to wild mood swings that can only be remedied by Saturn in Libra. However, this will be challenging because of Pluto in Capricorn. However, Chiron is still conjunct Neptune, so open your third eye and watch where your evolutionary process is going.<\/p>\n

PS, no wait — on second thought — I have a few minutes. Yes, the Moon is in Cancer heading for full phase, and much else is in Pisces. So this is a great time to put your mind to work emoting, dreaming, hallucinating and feeling like you’re the only one who understands you.<\/p>\n

Chiron is in Aquarius, still conjunct Neptune. There is a lot of bullshit here about integrity. Some people are finding out how much they have. Some are finding out how little they have. Some are figuring out what the stuff is.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There is, somewhere in the polarized astral chaos, the dim notion that amidst the techno-dream, the world has become an isolated place — and a somewhat dangerous one. Has anyone heard the story of the Lower Merion School District<\/strong><\/a>? Talk about Chiron conjunct Neptune:<\/p>\n

Lower Merion School District sued for cyber spying on students<\/h2>\n

Lower Merion School District officials brag that they give every one of their 1,800 high-schoolers laptop computers to “ensure that all students have 24\/7 access to school-based resources.”<\/p>\n

Instead, they ensured they got a 24\/7 sneak peek into students\u2019 private lives by secretly monitoring webcams embedded in the laptops to spy on teens and their families at home, according to a federal, class-action lawsuit filed this week in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

The suit alleges the remotely controlled covert cameras violate everything from the Fourth Amendment to wiretapping, electronic communications and computer fraud laws.<\/p>\n

It was filed Tuesday on behalf of Harriton High student Blake J. Robbins and all Lower Merion students by Robbins’ parents Michael and Holly Robbins of Penn Valley.<\/p>\n

Named as defendants are the school district, the district’s nine-member Board of Directors and Superintendent Christopher W. McGinley.<\/p>\n

The Robbins seek unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, as well as an end to the “spying,” according to the 17-page complaint.<\/p>\n

The family first learned of the embedded webcams on Nov. 11, when Harriton High’s Assistant Principal Lindy Matsko reprimanded Blake Robbins for “improper behavior in his home,” according to the lawsuit. Matsko cited as evidence a photograph from the webcam on the boy’s school-issued laptop.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit does not specify why the photograph was objectionable.<\/p>\n

Because the webcam can capture anything happening in the room where the laptop is, district personnel could illicitly observe plenty more than a student’s online activity, the lawsuit alleges.<\/p>\n

“Many of the images captured and intercepted may consist of images of minors and their parents or friends in compromising or embarrassing positions, including, but not limited to, in various stages of dress or undress,” the lawsuit charges.<\/p>\n

The Robbins’ attorney, Mark Haltzman, couldn’t be reached this morning. McGinley and District Spokesman Doug Young did not immediately return telephone calls for comment today.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
