<p>        The AFL may be the premier league in Australia for football. It has millions of followers each year, and its reputation continues to rise. Football has it is humble beginnings within the United States. It has slowly spread to the rest of the globe after gaining an enormous quantity of success within the states.</p>
<p>A game of football commonly begins having a coin toss to determine who will kick off and who will obtain. The team that wins the coin flip gets to choose if they&#8217;ll kick off or get. Following kicking off, the receiving team attempts to run the football back as far as they can. Once downed, the ball is going to be taken from that yard line. The center hikes the ball to the quarter back, who will then pass the ball to a receiver or running back.</p>
<p>Points are scored when a team makes a touchdown, by running the ball into the opposing team&#8217;s finish zone. This earns the team 6 points. They can then attempt and added point by kicking a field objective, or a 2 point conversion by running the ball into the finish zone once again. Points can also be created through field goals, worth 3 points, or safeties, worth 2 points.</p>
<p> Every team is permitted 11 players on the field at any time, and there ought to always be a center along with a quarter back. There could be any quantity of linemen, receivers, backs and defenders. Offensive players aren&#8217;t allowed to grab the defending players at any time.</p>
<p>Football is really a basic, yet remarkable sport. It started from humble beginnings and grew into a widely watched sport. It has captivated the attention of many people all through time and continues to complete so on a daily basis. The AFL is only 1 league out of hundreds, and the sport&#8217;s popularity continues to develop at an remarkable rate.        </p>

<p>SuperCoach AFL is a fantasy football competition. The object is to pick a team of 30 AFL players to generate the highest score each week. Any of the 16 AFL teams may be chosen from. Points are awarded mainly for effective possessions.</p>
<p>A SuperCoach must pick 9 Defenders, 9 Forwards, 8 Midfielders and 4 Rucks. An AFL player&#8217;s position is SuperCoach is judged by where they mainly played last year. AFL players who play in the midfield but are listed elsewhere are typically the best pick-ups. Brendon Goddard from St Kilda and Luke Hodge from Hawthorn are both listed as Defender/Midfielders. These two will be in most teams. Adam Goodes from Sydney and Paul Chapman from Geelong are another two popular dual-listed players. Forward/Midfielders.</p>
<p>New in 2010 are substitutions for dual-listed players. If, for example, Goodes was in the forward line of your team, and Chapman in the midfield. The two can be switched around at any time to cover for the injury of one, or for aesthetics. Also new in 2010 is a rolling lockout. I have been waiting for this. As the season always seems to start on a Thursday, this prevents sheer luck from deciding the make-up of your team. Carlton &amp; Richmond play the first game, again. AFL players can be selected from these two teams separately from the other teams. The other teams may be filled up until the next day, Friday night. This allows SuperCoaches to see who is playing on the Saturday, and who is in the squad for Sunday. A much better system. Not perfect (I would like a rolling lock-out thru to Saturday night), but much better than before.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.aflfootyonline.com/wp-content/uploads/17_5_orig.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full" title="17_5_orig.jpg" src="http://www.aflfootyonline.com/wp-content/uploads/17_5_thumb.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Social media has taught me many things. Like how most #blackouts in Australia are caused by #zombies. Or that sometimes it&#8217;s more amusing to watch a reaction to a clip instead of the clip itself. But more importantly it has taught me that no matter how technologically evolved we become, some things never change. Here are 4 truths that I believe social media has demonstrated beyond a shadow of a doubt.</p>
<p> It&#8217;s all about relationships
<p>Sex might sell but don&#8217;t be fooled &#8211; most customers are looking for more than a one night stand. We&#8217;ve spent years introducing technology to cut out the middle man only to find that the customer still wants to talk about their feelings. Businesses who choose to nurture an ongoing relationship reap the benefits with higher $ $  sales, repeat business and free advertising in the form of word of mouth. Too many businesses are content with just playing the numbers game, safe in the knowledge that their flashy and slick approach will still dazzle enough customers to keep them warm through winter. Those customers quickly move on once they realise they&#8217;re not much more than a statistic, worthy only of bland, generic marketing campaigns with little thought to their actual wants or needs. <strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Who&#8217;s doing it right:</strong> Kudos to the Bigpond team on Twitter (@bigpondteam ). They know you&#8217;ve been screwed over in the past and they just want you to know that they are listening. <strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Who&#8217;s doing it wrong:</strong> Companies AND individuals who have an account in every social media port and use the same tired, old lines on all of them. Broadcasting the same message through such a diverse range of applications does not a strategy make.</p>
<p> Shortcuts aren&#8217;t just for keyboards
<p>Despite the fact that many aspects of our lives continue to be made inexplicably easier with each passing year, there will always be a special group of people looking for a shortcut. 10,000 followers on Twitter in 3 days; a popular blog with scrapings of everyone else&#8217;s brilliant content; instant You Tube fame complete with sponsor interest and meme infamy. It alienates those willing to invest time and effort and irritates almost everyone who has to put up with the result. And yet it continues because unfortunately it works. Those who succeed (and even those who don&#8217;t) then get to take it to a new level &#8211; selling the secret shortcuts to finding the shortcuts. <strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Who&#8217;s doing it right:</strong> Stephen Fry deserves his resurgence in popularity for all the effort he is investing in his personal and professional brand. He blogs, he tweets, he&#8217;s available on iTunes. While consistent, his interaction is intermittent enough to be genuine. And all of this in between filming prime time television and celebrity hob nobbing.</p>
<p><strong>Who&#8217;s doing it wrong:</strong> You&#8217;ve got 10 examples sitting in your inbox right now.</p>
<p> Losing control can be fun
<p>Those hippies were on to something! By loosening the grip on their brand, some companies have been able to experience something out of this world. Whether it is the integration of user generated content into a campaign or refusing to censor the dissedent voice in forums, brands have been communicated in the voice of the customer in a bold new way. Unfortunately sometimes the experience can be a disaster, sure to cause painful flashbacks for decades to come. You can play it safe and minimise the risk, you just need to know what you&#8217;re getting into, do it with people you trust and, of course, everything in moderation. <strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Who&#8217;s doing it right:</strong> I love this example of SUNY New Paltz and left it strategically under the noses of my previous employer&#8217;s management team. It&#8217;s a great reminder that if you&#8217;re doing things right you have no need to fear the odd negative comment. <strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Who&#8217;s doing it wrong:</strong> Nothing sticks out more than the Chevrolet Chevy Tahoe campaign which turned into an anti-SUV broadcast faster than you can say &#8220;Canyonero&#8221;. It shouldn&#8217;t be a deterrant to UGC though, merely a mistake to learn from and improve on.</p>
<p> Play by the rules or else
<p>As I&#8217;ve posted previously, I get frustrated at the way red cards go flying up whenever someone doesn&#8217;t conform to the rules of play of social media. For such a collaborative, scalable, unique, innovative concept it sure has a lot of rules and penalties. The world wide web should be big enough for all of us to play nice and if it isn&#8217;t then at least show a little appreciation for the diversity of the game. It&#8217;s a bit like that new AFL ad, where they show you all the decent sports you could be watching instead of AFL. <strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Who&#8217;s doing it right:</strong> In its simplest form, I think the blogging community is getting this right. It amazes me how a few widgets and a different perspective can create such a unique user experience. Even the stock standard templates allow anyone&#8217;s personality to shine through if they choose. <strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Who&#8217;s doing it wrong:</strong> Me. The fact that I have just listed 4 examples of who&#8217;s doing it right and wrong by my opinion clearly demonstrates that I don&#8217;t practise what I preach. So piss off.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.aflfootyonline.com/wp-content/uploads/16_5_orig.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full" title="16_5_orig.jpg" src="http://www.aflfootyonline.com/wp-content/uploads/16_5_thumb.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Professional sports teams in Tampa Bay area fall in one of four categories: Major League Baseball, National Football League &#8211; commonly referred to as the NFL, Arena Football League and the National Hockey League &#8211; commonly known as the NHL. At the Collegiate level, sports teams are dominated by the University of Tampa&#8217;s Tampa U. Spartans and the University of South Florida&#8217;s USF Bulls.</p>
<p><strong>Professional Sports Teams</strong></p>
<p>The Tampa Bay Rays is the sports team that plays professional baseball in Major League Baseball in the Tampa Bay Area. Games are held at the Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida. This division of Major League Baseball is made up of the American League of Professional Baseball Clubs or commonly known as American League. The Rays won the American League Pennant in 2008. This win followed a change in the name of the team from Tampa Bay Devil Rays to Tampa Bay Rays.</p>
<p>The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, or Bucs for short, play football professionally in the National Football League or NFL that&#8217;s part of the National Football Conference. The Raymond James Stadium hosts the NFL home games. The Bucs won the Super Bowl XXXVII in the tail end of the 2002 football season. In 2006, Matt Bryant scored a 62 yard field goal that clinched the game against the Eagles. This amazing feat is second only to the 63 yard NFL record for a field goal.</p>
<p>The Arena Football League or AFL is the cornerstone of the Tampa Bay Storm team that plays their games in the St Pete Times Forum. Arena football is a type of gridiron football that&#8217;s played on a smaller field in an indoor stadium. This form of football contrasts with traditional football that&#8217;s played outdoors and is usually slower than arena football. The Storm is a founding member of the AFL and has already won five ArenaBowl championships since their inception in 1987.</p>
<p>The Tampa Bay Lightning is the professional ice hockey team that plays in the National Hockey League (NHL). They belong to the Southeast Division of the Eastern Conference of the NHL. Their home games are held at St Pete Times Forum and they&#8217;re often known as the Bolts. Founded in 1992, the Tampa Bay Lightning has won 2 Division championships in 2003 &#8211; 2004 and the Stanley Cup in 2004.</p>
<p><strong>Collegiate Sports Teams</strong></p>
<p>College football is actively played by the University of South Florida Bulls Football team which plays its games at the Raymond James Stadium. The Bulls Football team competes in Division I of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) league, and the team is part of the Big East Conference encompassing sixteen universities in the Eastern part of the US. They commenced play in 1997 and their current games are aired lived on the radio in the Tampa Bay area. You can also catch the games on the ESPN network.</p>
<p>Tampa U. Spartans, the collegiate team from the University of Tampa, began competing at the collegiate level in 1993. They have risen to become a force to contend with in the Sunshine State Conference, at Division II of the NCAA. The Spartans have won numerous titles in the NCAA Division II league including baseball in 2006 and 2007 and women&#8217;s soccer in 2007. Tampa Stadium plays host to the team&#8217;s games.</p>
<p>Both professional and collegiate sports teams abound in the area. From basketball to baseball, you&#8217;re sure to find the team that plays your favorite game from the long list of professional clubs and the two main University clubs. Book your tickets to a game at the local stadiums next time you&#8217;re in the Tampa area and get in on the action in the field!</p>

<p>Article  by Mike Rose</p>
<p>CURRENT) (TEAM) (W/L RECORD) (LAST WEEKS RANK) </p>
<p>1) Colorado Crush (2-0) (LW: 1) Neither of Colorado&#8217;s first two wins of the season would be classified as dominating, but a win is a win and the defending champs sit atop the power poll for the third straight week. They handed Georgia its first home loss in 13 games, and were able to avoid the revenge spot in their thrilling 61-59 road win. OS Harrell had a huge day once again hauling in 11 passes for 132 yards and five TDs further cementing himself as the premiere offensive threat in the league. I&#8217;m still not enamored with this clubs defense whatsoever, but you have to outscore them to beat them, and not many will be able to do that this year. The Crush return home in Week 3 to take on a rejuvenated Las Vegas club coming off its first win of the season. </p>
<p>2) Philadelphia Soul (2-0) (LW: 3) The Soul revealed just how deep a club they possess with their 47-33 home victory over the Avengers. Starting QB Tony Graziani went down with a hand injury on Philly&#8217;s first offensive series of the game, but the offense didn&#8217;t skip a beat with back-up QB Matt Sauk leading the charge. They never once trailed in the game, and the defense sacked LA QB Brian Mann four times and constantly pressured him all game long. The special teams registered its first score of the season as well when WR/DB Mike Brown returned a missed FG to midfield and pitched to DS Kevin Gaines for a TD to give the Soul a 14-0 cushion. The Soul&#8217;s humming on all cylinders right now after getting out to the franchises first 2-0 start, and will be a formidable foe when the visit &#8220;The Jungle&#8221; Saturday night. </p>
<p>3) Nashville Kats (2-0) (LW: 4) I was impressed with the Kats effort in NY when they drubbed the Dragons, so I really don&#8217;t know the word to use to describe what they did as an encore versus Columbus. Dominating to say the least are these Kats as they&#8217;ve simply toyed with their first two opponents. QB Clint Stoerner had another solid outing throwing for five TDs, but it&#8217;s the defense that once again took center stage. They&#8217;ve now given up a total of 55 points in two games, and are on pace to break the single season record for fewest points allowed. They forced three turnovers, and allowed Columbus its first tally on the scoreboard late in the 2nd quarter. HC Pat Sperduto has himself a fantastic club on his hands, and a win this week in Chicago will only instill that much more confidence. Scary!!! </p>
<p>4) Dallas Desperados (2-0) (LW: 5) The Desperados picked up a huge road win in front of 16,000+ in the Delta Center to move to 2-0 on the young season. New QB Clint Dolezel has found himself a new favorite target in OS Terrill Shaw who hauled in 11 passes for a team record 208 yards and four TDs. His gaudy performance led to being named the offensive player of the game, but Despo fans have to love the way their new field general has settled in thus far. They also only tallied five penalties. That number speaks volumes for maybe where this club is headed this season. Another rough venue awaits them this Saturday night as division rival Columbus will be a salty host after getting pummeled last week. </p>
<p>5) Georgia Force (1-1) (LW: 2) The Force clawed, scratched, and battled in their pre-Super Bowl XL battle, but it wasn&#8217;t enough for them to exact revenge for their ArenaBowl loss to the Crush. A look inside the numbers would prove it to be a very close game, so the two-point margin of victory should come as no surprise. However, the Force never once led in the game, and their defense allowed the Crush too many offensive opportunities that allowed them to control the time of possession. Missed FG&#8217;s and extra points didn&#8217;t help either. Many are still disgusted by the &#8220;no call&#8221; on the two-point conversion, but even if they converted on that play the Crush had 19 seconds to work with. Hopefully they can shake the disappointment of that loss off before their Friday night division contest with the Storm. </p>
<p>6) Austin Wranglers (2-0) (LW: <img src='http://www.aflfootyonline.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif' alt='8)' class='wp-smiley' /> The Wranglers have been the beneficiaries of a very easy schedule to open up their 2006 campaign, but that hasn&#8217;t stopped them from making an impact whatsoever. They&#8217;ve brought their lunch pails to work in each of their first two games, and have outscored their opponents by a 117-80 count. The offense has been electric, and the defense has been opportunistic. DS Damon Mason made his presence felt once again in their bolstered secondary as he snagged three more passes to raise his season total to five INTs on the year. Austin seems to have found the recipe for success in this league at a very early stage. They&#8217;ll pound you with a balanced attack on offense, and force you into mistakes on defense. Up next is their first division game of the season vs. the Brigade. </p>
<p>7) Orlando Predators (1-1) (LW: 11) It was by no means pretty, but the Predators snagged a crucial division win last week as they upended the visiting Brigade by a 48-41 count. Preds QB Joe Hamilton had a more efficient game passing the ball (21 of 28), but still threw a pair of INTs. The Preds defense simply had no answer for the Brigade&#8217;s passing attack as it was chewed up for a gaudy 353 yards on the night. This Orlando team is still coming together, and we should get a better feel for what this teams about in the next few weeks. Big test this week as the 2-0 Soul pay &#8220;The Jungle&#8221; a visit. </p>
<p> <img src='http://www.aflfootyonline.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif' alt='8)' class='wp-smiley' /> Tampa Bay Storm (1-1) (LW: 13) The Storm got more of a battle from the Rampage than they expected, but got the job done with a &#8220;never say die&#8221; mentality that allowed them to split their first two road games of the season. It was expected of Tampa to bounce back after their abysmal showing in Philly, and that&#8217;s exactly what they did. QB Shane Stafford completed 26 of 37 passes for 271 yards and four TDs. The defense came up with some huge defensive plays, which included a safety of GR QB Jose Davis late in the game that allowed the Storm to pull away for the win. This performance should be a huge motivator for the Storm&#8217;s stop unit as they got to see its hard work pay off in live game action. TB return&#8217;s home for its first game in the Forum this year to take on division rival Georgia, but it will be without HC Tim Marcum who was suspended one more game due to violating his probation. </p>
<p>9) New York Dragons (1-1) (LW: 15) I was one of the 15,000 strong in attendance last Friday night that saw the Dragons grab victory from the jaws of defeat on a controversial block in the back call to end the game. Regardless of that call, the Dragons were a completely different team than the one that took the field only a short week ago at home vs. the Kats. Their offense took what Chicago&#8217;s &#8220;D&#8221; would give the entire game, and their defense came up with a pair of crucial INTs that allowed them to get ahead on the possession track right off the bat. QB Aaron Garcia was beat up once again (4 sacks), but he was still able to lead his team to victory on their last crucial drive of the game. They now head to Utah to take on a feisty Blaze squad that lost a tough one at home themselves last week. </p>
<p>10) Columbus Destroyers (1-1) (LW: 7) Not much to say about last weeks performance, except Columbus knows it still has a ways to go before it will be able to compete with the AFL elite on the road. They were simply manhandled by the Kats last Friday night, but that still doesn&#8217;t take away from the fact that this is still a very solid football team. Look for them to bounce back this week with a much better effort as they host the streaking Desperados. </p>
<p>And the rest&#8230; </p>
<p>11) Chicago Rush (0-2) (LW: 10) 12) Utah Blaze (1-1) (LW: 9) 13) Los Angeles Avengers (1-1) (LW: 6) 14) Las Vegas Gladiators (1-1) (LW: 17) 15) Kansas City Brigade (0-2) (LW: 12) 16) San Jose Sabercats (0-2) (LW: 14) 17) Grand Rapids Rampage (0-2) (LW: 18) 18) Arizona Rattlers (0-2) (LW: 16)

<p>The AFL (Aussie Rules) is a extremely popular sport in many parts of the country. This is probably the most money-making sport for online bookmakers and other agencies, given its huge following. This article is meant to inform you about your options and how to find a good online agency to place your bets. </p>
<p>The Australian Rules Football League has two major parts to it, namely the NAB cup, which is the pre-season tournament and the Grand Finals, </p>
<p>the grand stage where it all matters. Both these stages have different amount of stakes involved. We will see how you can bet in each of these stages. </p>
<p>NAB Cup Betting </p>
<p>As you know the NAB cup is played by 16 teams some of which qualify for the Grand Finals. So, here you have many more matches to bet on. </p>
<p>Also you have betting options like live betting, match betting or future betting. </p>
<p>The Premiership Betting </p>
<p>The AFL Premiership is another major market for betting where 16 leagues fight it out for the Premiership title. The stakes here are a bit higher than the NAB cup and hence you have chances of winning more money here, provided you place your bets wisely. </p>
<p>Grand Final Betting As the name state, the stakes involved are the highest here and more people bet on the Grand Final than on any other stage. This is mainly because its where all the money invested by the futures&#8217; bettors, who bet for the entire tournament changes hands quickly. </p>
<p>Brownlow Medal Betting </p>
<p>Betting on the Brownlow Medal, the most prestigious award for an individual AFL player is another market for betting, albeit, not as huge. But sometimes the stakes can rise very high and if you do place a bet, you stand to win a decent amount of money, assuming luck is on your side. </p>
<p>Choosing Agencies </p>
<p>With such huge amount of money involved, there are hundreds of websites offering betting services for the Australian Football League. How are you to choose among them? The first the foremost thing when choosing a website for placing bets is to find out whether it is licensed or not. </p>
<p>There are many renowned and reliable online betting websites which offer a range of betting services and cover all your needs such as the latest news, betting tips, in-depth reviews so that you can make informed decisions and increase the odds in your favor. </p>
<p>Another important criterion is their customer service. Online betting agencies must be prompt in replying to your queries and must be able to give you as much information as possible. Also, very important is the privacy policy of your preferred betting website. </p>
<p>Even if you are new to betting in the Australian Rules Football League you can achieve some decent earnings by taking wise decisions. Online forums are a very good place to start with if you want serious suggestions for experienced bettors, who have been successful in the past. </p>
<p>So, there you go, you have a most of the information needed to get start with betting in the AFL and you also know how to go about choosing good online betting agencies. Here&#8217;s hoping you win a fortune.

<p>Article  by V Kullar</p>
<p>This season in the Australian Football League, Hawthorne has finally got a break fromits continuous suspension of players. Brent Guerra, the Hawthorne Defender managedto free himself from suspension. Although he had to plea guilty, he managed to makea bargain for negligent conduct as opposed to the guilty conduct. He was originallypenalized with a ban in the two upcoming matches one of which included the crucialmatch against Melbourne this Sunday.</p>
<p>Jordon Roughhead of the Western bulldogs also was admitted as not being guilty thisTuesday, just three weeks before the major final match. Roughhead was suspended forthe next match for rough conduct but his advocate argued his case skillfully which meanthe has been left off the hook.</p>
<p>Quinten Lynch, forward player of west coast has been cleared of his charges of kneeingBrent Staker, while Joel Patfall was declared as not being guilty of rough conduct.</p>
<p>However the captain of Lions, Jonathan Brown has been charged guilty of tripping. Thischarge effectively mars his record of good conduct that he had maintained since the lastfive years.</p>
<p>In the meantime since Saturday&#8217;s match the Hawks have lost points to Sydney meaningthey are soon going to be replaced as the No 1 eight.</p>
<p>Guerra aged 28 has been a member of 2008 premiership of the Hawthornes and hasparticipated in every single senior match played adding his career total up to 95. He hadbeen asked on what kind of reaction president Jeff Kennet would express on the news ofhis penalty being waved. Although he did not say anything very definite, he admitted thata lot of people would be happy with the decision.</p>
<p>Guerra was accused of giving Nick Malceski, the Sydney midfielder a heavy tackleleading him on to hit the ground. He defended himself by arguing that he had heard theumpire make a call for advantage but not the second whistle which would bring the gameto a break. Hawthorne was further allowed to play the audio TV commentary of the gameproving that the umpire had called for advantage allowing Guerra the freedom to tackle.The three man Jury accepted this evidence. The verdict however implies that Guerra hasearned a demerit of 93.75 points.</p>
<p>Jordan Roughhead however had a tougher time trying to defend him self. He did admitunder cross examination that he could have hindered Brad Symes&#8217; kick. Instead he gaveSymes a bump after the latter had disposed off the ball. Medical reports suggest thatSymes could be suffering a severe blow in the head.</p>
<p>Roughead&#8217;s advocate Gibson however skillfully argued his case by presenting the tapeof the match where Symes had recovered after the bump immediately and had not shownany much evidence of being injured. Roughhead did claim that he was nervous before the</p>
<p>trial as it was his first time, but was pleased with the results.

<p>Article  by Kathleen Falken</p>
<p>A recent survey of children has revealed that one out of every two children in North America have gone home after school (to their own or to a friend&#8217;s house) and watched adult websites. </p>
<p>Many of these children are as young as six and seven.Teenagers are getting their ideas of what sex should be like from pornography on the net. They&#8217;re not seeing sex in the context of gradually developing loving intimacy, but as a sort of aggressive performance sport, with the overwhelming focus on women servicing men&#8217;s desires &#8211; whatever they may be. </p>
<p>Surveyed girls in their teens and younger admit that they know more about &#8220;oral sex&#8221; than they do about &#8220;kissing.&#8221;<b>==&gt;&gt; Many home computers are completely unsecure and many unsupervised children are visiting porn, adult social media and radical political websites that would shock their parents &#8212; if they knew!Since children cannot often discriminate, they are unwittingly putting traceable material on their parent&#8217;s hard drives that could literally get their parents arrested!</b></p>
<p>*</p>
<p>The problem of online security for children is widespread and getting more critical each day.</p>
<p>A disturbing increase in the number of incidents have been reported in the media concerning young people and their use of social media online.</p>
<p>These range from the notorious publishing of pictures of nude AFL stars, through to paedophiles using the networks to lure children. All can cause long-term damage in terms of reputation and emotional wellbeing.</p>
<p>All of these incidents strike fear in a parent&#8217;s heart, says Simone Douglas, designer of the Social Media Safety Courses for parents at Adelaide&#8217;s Mason College.</p>
<p>She said that the growing popularity of social networking is attracting hackers, spammers, virus writers, identity thieves and other criminals, including sexual predators.</p>
<p>&#8220;Holiday time is a prime time for predators to act, while kids spend more time in front of their computers,&#8221; she says.</p>
<p>&#8220;As parents we need to know which websites our children are visiting, and understand how to access and use the tools to keep them safe.&#8221;</p>
<p>Parents can walk away knowing how to navigate the applications and with the tools and resources they need to teach their children solid protective behaviours around their use of the internet in general and social media in particular.</p>
<p>Simone believes that both parents and grandparents who care for children have a responsibility to have an understanding of social networking sites and their privacy and security issues.</p>
<p>&#8220;The courses teach parents and grandparents how to access the internet and how to use the applications that the kids are using,&#8221; she says.</p>
<p>Online security is essential for our children. Among the things we must learn&#8230;</p>

<p>This problem doesn&#8217;t only apply to Americans and Canadians. In the UK, the British government actually appears to be doing something about it. Its Communications Minister is meeting with Internet Service Providers (ISP) to block all porn, unless the adult computer owner opts in.</p>
<p>This follows the successful prohibition in the UK of online child pornography. Under this system, porn sites will be blocked until an adult user specifically requests it. There is also consideration being given to a movie-type of rating system to allow only adult users in the home to view such sites.</p>
<p>This comes on the heels of a study that found that one in three children (aged 10) had seen pornographic images on the Internet.</p>
<p>Parents, desperate to prevent this, now have a system that allows them to opt out. However, this new measure would take the protection of children a step further, in that as long as the adults in the household do not opt in, no porn will sneak in.</p>
<p>According to SaferMedia, a UK nonprofit dedicated to protecting children, &#8220;In the past, Internet porn was regarded as a moral issue or a matter of taste. Now it has become a mental health issue because we now know the damage it is causing. We are seeing perverse sexual behavior among children. Legislation is both justifiable and feasible.&#8221;</p>
<p>This opt-in option is currently available on cell phone systems in the UK already. And protests that it would be difficult to implement are not holding sway, as child pornography was easily blocked by ISPs.</p>
