Jazz, Blues and Polka - music sounds nicely on PG ...
Edison National Historic Site Sound Recordings
This week Brett Fishburne had started to post some of the 100 sound recording
available from the Edison National Historic Site (ENHS). The ENHS has over
48,000 sound recordings made on both cylinder and disc. These were produced
by Edison between 1888 and 1829, just two years before his death.
The sound recordings last for around 4 minutes each and feature a variety of
genres, from music, speech, actors auditions, vaudeville comedy, the chimes
of Big Ben and even the voices of Presidents of the USA and Mexico.
The ENHS is making these recordings available as part of the preservation
process of the full collection which began in 1993 as an attempt to make
sense of the collections' size and organisation. Once complete the whole
collection will be made available via the internet.
You can find out more about ENHS at http://www.nps.gov/edis

-------------------
Another interesting addition to PG collection is the lections on geology by Charles Kingsley (1819-1875), English clergyman, poet and novelist, to students in Chester, England. The author,who was a conservative President of the Midland Institute in Birmingham, took surprisingly unortodox position in these lections, supporting Lyell's geological theory. See http://www.gutenberg.net/1/0/2/5/10251

Radio Gutenberg Update
http://www.radio-gutenberg.org
Two channels of broadcasting are available, but what for the subtle
change in the web address, that's org not com.
channel 1 - Sherlock Holmes "The Sign of Four"
channel 2 - Robert Sheckley's "Bad Medicine"
Both are high quality live readings from the collection.

Hieroglyphs and cuneiform, Chinese and Arabic characters - millions of signs that learned scribes and calligraphists traced out painstakingly on stones and papyruses in sumptuous palaces and humble monasteries during the history of human civilization. The concrete buildings are now in ruins and sands are covering the walls of great palaces, but strangely enough, the most virtual part of civilization - the signs are still alive. They are changing slowly, but still reflects the thousand of years passed since the sinful tower was destroyed, supplying the beauty of variety and the sense of "far away land" for the travelers (which can be, of course, kind of annoying when you try to find your hotel in China or small Russian town ? ). They are very important part of mental environment and I believe that their influence on the world perception should be considerable. So for the ancient Egyptians the world probably looked much more picturesque than for us writing in economical and r
ational 20+ alphabets ... Japanese and Russian, Hebrew and Arabic - plenty of copyright free texts are waiting for to be included to PG in their original beauty together with their translated reflections. This is an important theme and we will continue to explore it in the future issues

Cookery Club unveiling dinner ...
Last week we issued an invitation to join PG's Cookery Club, a series of virtual dinner parties based on some of PG's extensive cookery book collections, and proposed a starter from The Belgian Cookbook called Gourmand's Mushrooms. As you may recall, part of the fun is reporting back each week on how we fared preparing the recipes. So here is my report on Gourmand's Mushrooms.
One of the challenges of old cookery books is their inattention to features we take for granted in modern recipes, such as exactly measured amounts and times. The Belgian Cookbook is especially notable for its vague directions in this area, and thus in making Gourmand's Mushrooms we were asked to measure butter in terms of a tangerine. I did happen to have a tangerine on hand, but I couldn't help wondering if they might have been smaller back then. Then there was the matter of the gravy. "Moisten them with gravy" says the recipe, without mentioning where the gravy was to come from. Are we supposed to have it on hand, like eggs and milk (and tangerines)? I think so, because further exploration of The Belgian Cookbook reveals other recipes calling for gravy in an offhand manner. But if this dish is "fit for the greatest saints to eat on Fridays," which I take to mean that it is meatless, then what kind of gravy would this be exactly? (Ed. It might be a saint vegan gravy, howeve
r we'll never know ...)
In the event, I didn't think the mushrooms needed any moistening, so I skipped this step. Otherwise, the recipe was very straightforward. I'm not sure I'm a fan of Gourmand's Mushrooms though; could it be I am a Prussian?
[Ed. Our chief editor's response was quite different - 'tried out the recipe from last week, minus egg yolk as we have no eggs at the moment. The verdict from us is that it was different, having the lemon taste with mushrooms was nice, but the quantity required in the recipe would have been too much for two of us. Overall, 6 out of 10 and we might try it again in the future.' So to summarize: the Gourmand's Mushrooms get average 3 out of 10 based on 2 reviews. However, remember, dear guest on our virtual dinner, that You still have a chance to change the statistics by trying the receipt at home and sending us your comments ...]
For the remainder of our menu, which is a vegetarian menu suitable for a cool evening in autumn (or spring, if you are in that part of the world), we propose the three recipes below. Once again, you are invited to partake by trying one or more of these recipes, and sending your comments to us. Before presenting the recipes, though, here are few interesting findings about The Belgian Cookbook:
The most interesting fact, I think is that it was published in 1915, and, as noted in the Preface, "The recipes in this little book have been sent by Belgian refugees from all parts of the United Kingdom." So while we are wondering where the gravy comes from, we can recall that all these recipes were contributed by war refugees who comforted themselves in their exile by cooking the dishes of their country, and sharing them with the people of their host nation.
Getting past this somber fact, we notice some amusing instructions in the preface. Savories, we are told (of which Gourmand's Mushrooms could be considered an example), should be "like an ankle, small and neat and alluring." Hmm. And as for soup,
"Let your soup be extremely hot; do not let it be like the Laodiceans. You know what St. John said about them, and you would be sorry to think of your soup sharing the fate which he describes with such saintly verve."
I'll have to investigate my PG edition of the New Testament to find out what this means. Meantime,
"Be sure that your soup has a good foundation, and avoid the Italian method of making _consommé_, which is to put a pot of water on to warm and to drive a cow past the door."
I think I've heard that joke about other soup, such as the kind served in the prison camps, but rest assured that our soup will not be like that.
CAULIFLOWER SOUP
After you have boiled a cauliflower, it is a great extravagance to throw away the liquor; it is delicately flavored and forms the basis of a good soup. Wash well your cauliflower, taking great care to remove all grit and insects. Place it to simmer with its head downwards, in salted water; and, when it is tender, remove it. Now for the soup. Let all the outer leaves and odd bits simmer well, then pass them through a sieve. Fry some chopped onions, add the liquor of the cauliflower and the pieces that have been rubbed through the sieve, add a little white pepper and a slice of brown bread. Let all cook gently for half-an-hour, then, just before serving it, take out the slice of bread and sprinkle in two teaspoonfuls of grated Gruyere cheese.
POTATOES AND CHEESE
Every one likes this nourishing dish, and it is a cheap one. Peel some potatoes and cut them in rounds. In a fireproof dish put a layer of these, sprinkle them with flour, grated cheese, pepper, salt, a few pats of butter. Then some more potatoes, and so on till the dish is full. Beat the yolks of two eggs in a pint of milk, add pepper and salt and pour it over the dish. Leave it on the top of the stove for five minutes, then cook it for half-an-hour in a moderate oven. Less time may be required if the dish is small, but the potatoes must be thoroughly cooked. The original recipe directs Gruyère cheese, but red or pale Canadian Cheddar could be used.
APPLE FRITTERS
Put half pound of flour in a deep dish and work it with beer, beating it well till there are no lumps left. Make it into a paste that is not very liquid. Peel and core some good apples, cut them into rounds, put them in the paste so that each one is well covered with it. Have a pan of boiling fat and throw in the apple slices for two minutes. They ought to be golden by then, if that fat has been hot enough. Serve them dusted with powdered sugar and the juice of half a lemon squeezed on them. Icing sugar is another term for powdered sugar

.:: HOW TO GET EBOOKS FROM PROJECT GUTENBERG ::.
The easiest way to obtain our eBooks is at our search page at
http://gutenberg.net/find.shtml
which allows searching by title and author; there is also an advanced
search page which allows for additional search criteria (note that our
newer postings may not yet be indexed for that additional criteria).
Mirrors (copies) of the complete collection are available around the
world, and you can select one nearer to your location from the link on
the search results page.
To see a listing of mirror sites, and locate the one nearest to you,
browse to:
http://gutenberg.net/list.shtml
Use the procedures above to access the eBook directories once you've
selected a mirror.
EBooks numbered 1 to 10000 are located in "release year" directories. Over
time, the "release year" advanced, so that by November 2003 the release year
was 2006. Starting with eBook #10001, they are filed by their official eBook
number, with a unique subdirectory based on that eBook number.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED GREATER THAN 10000
To get to a directory listing you can use either:
http://gutenberg.net/1/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/1/
. . .navigate down through the subdirectories until you get to the
appropriate level, and then select the file you wish to download,
using your usual download procedures.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED 1 THROUGH 10000:
Use your Web browser or FTP program to visit our master download site (or
a mirror) if you know the filename and year you want. For example:
http://gutenberg.net/etext06/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext06/
and look for the first five letters of the filesname. Note that updated
eBooks usually go in their original directory (e.g., etext99, etext00, etc.)

10565 eBooks As Of Today!!!
We're Already Past 1/20th Of The Way From 10,000 to 20,000!!!
It took 32.25 years from July, 1971 to October, 2003 for our 1st 10,000
It took 7.41 years--June, 1996 to November, 2003 for our last 10,000
[From 565 to 10,565]
We hope to reach 20,000 eBooks in 2005. . . .
***
Catalog Updates: Thanks to the work of Marcello Perathoner,
there is no longer a delay getting new eBooks into our
searchable database at http://www.gutenberg.net. Author and
title information, as well as links directly to the eBook's
files (in all available formats) are updated nightly.
and. . . .
A new page with eBooks posted (or changed) the day before:
http://www.gutenberg.net/gutenberg/browse/RECENT.HTM
***
We have the first copy of our "10K Special" DVD nearly ready, more below.
Let me know you the URL to download, or need us to snail a copy to burn.
Sending out another copy today, but next week will be the last before I
hit the road to our conference in San Francisco.
*** gutenberg.net moved to ibiblio.org/gutenberg ***
After many happy years at http://promo.net/pg, we have moved
gutenberg.net to a different server over the upcoming days.
Many Thanks To Promo.net!!!!!!!
There have been a few days of transition, as the Internet name servers
got their updates. When the transfer is complete, gutenberg.net
(including www.gutenberg.net) will still work correctly, but will
point to our NEW Web pages at http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg
Hopefully 99% of the bumps in the road caused by this are now over.

[The Newsletter is now being sent in three sections, so you can directly
go to the portions you find most interesting: 1. Founder's Comments,
2. News, Notes & Queries, and 3. Weekly eBook Update Listing.]
This is Michael Hart's "Founder's Comments" section of the Newsletter
Over Our 32 20/53 Year History, We Have Now Averaged Over 325 Ebooks/Yr!
And This Year Averaged Over That Same New eBook Level. . .PER MONTH!!!!!
We Are Averaging Over 350 Per Month This Year!!!
*** HOT Requests!!!
For those of you who are trying to get some PR for Project Gutenberg:
In November, 2003, the UPI [United Press International] said:
"These are momentous times in the digital content industry. . . .
"Project Gutenberg - the pioneering and largest depository of free
eBooks - added the 10,000-th title to its unsurpassed collection."
***
"The best way to get the future you want. . .is to invent it."
"I wanted a computer full of 10,000 eBooks. . .and not just for me,
but for everyone."
Michael S. Hart
***
A few years ago WIRED said:
"On The Verge Of Achieving The Impossible."
And now. . . .
Project Gutenberg has just released their 10,000th eBook,
exactly 18 months, to the week, after their 5,000th. . .
. . .thus putting to rest that human-driven enterprises
can't keep up with Moore's Law of growth for a decade.

The Project Gutenberg growth record since 1990:

Nearly all the time you see graphs of this nature, they are predictions. . . .
In this case it is an accomplished fact. The "/" marks the exact date.
All the 10,000 eBooks, except the Human Genome Project
and the audio books, due to size limitations, and the
Project Gutenberg of Australia eBooks, due to copyright,
will hopefully be available shortly on a single DVD.
By the end of their 2003 production year, there should
be around 11,000 Project Gutenberg eBooks. . .
20,000 by the end of 2005!!!
1,000,000 by 2015!!!!!!!

"A Whole Elephant Full Of Books"
If each of the 10,000 Project Gutenberg eBooks were printed out
in a standard hardback format, using 3/4" of paper and 1/4" binding,
weighing one pound, the entire collection would weigh as much as an
adult elephant. If these books were placed on a shipping palate,
10 by 10 and 100 books high, the tallest basketball players could
not see over the stack.
Thus 10,000 such books, stacked up
would be over 833 feet tall, higher than
the Washington Monument at 555 feet,
or the Hoover Dam at just over 730 feet,
917 feet high by the end of the year,
and 1,000 feet by March, 2004. . . .

Project Gutenberg DVD Needs Burners
So far we have access to a dozen DVD burners. If you have
a DVD burner or know someone with one, please email me
so we can plan how many DVD's we can make with all 10,000
Project Gutenberg eBooks on them when they are ready. We
can likely send you a box of CDs containing most of these
files early, and then a final update CD in November when
you would download the last month's/weeks' releases.
I have the first test 10K Special DVD here right now!!!
Nearly all of our first 10,000 eBooks, and multiple formats!
*** PROJECT GUTENBERG IS SEEKING LEGAL BEAGLES
Project Gutenberg is seeking (volunteer) lawyers. We have
regular needs for intellectual property legal advice
(both US and international) and other areas. Please email
Project Gutenberg's CEO, Greg Newby <gbnewby AT pglaf.org> ,
if you can help.
*** Progress Report
[Disclaimer: We have several people and programs who count
up the Project Gutenberg eBooks and help create the statistics
we provide. Every once in a while these don't agree, and we
have numbers that slightly disagree, even as to the number of
weeks in a given year. . .for example, 2003 has 53 Wednesdays,
so we will have 53 Newsletters, and thus will count 53 weeks,
at least some of us will. . . . ;-) This week is unusual,
because we are in the process of reestablishing our databases
after reaching eBook #10,000 a few weeks ago, and the programs
are not yet back to running at full capacity. Thus, we have
had several mere mortals counting up the books and disagreeing
on how many there are. I counted 87, George counted 84, and
one day we didn't get any reports at all, so we could both be
somewhat off. Hopefully next week we will get back to normal.]
In the first 10.75 months of this year, we produced 3,800 new eBooks.
It took us from 1971 to 2000 to produce our first 3,800 eBooks!
That's 47 WEEKS as Compared to ~31 Years!

DISTRIBUTED PROOFREADERS NEEDS CONTENT, PROOFERS AND SCANNER TYPES
Please contact us at:
dphelp@pgdp.net
if you would like to know more about the Distributed Proofreaders.
Thanks to very good recent publicity, the Distributed Proofreading
project has greatly accelerated its pace. Please visit the site:
http://www.pgdp.net
for more information about how you can help a lot, by
simply proofreading just a few pages per day, or more.
If you have a book that has been scanned, but not yet run
through OCR (optical character recognition) or proofed,
and you would like the Distributed Proofreaders to work on it,
please email dphelp@pgdp.net and we will get things started.
Also, DP is seeking public domain books not already in the
Project Gutenberg collection. To see what is already online,
visit http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/GUTINDEX.ALL (a text file),
since the online database doesn't reflect recent additions.
Do you have Public Domain books your would like to see in the archive?
Can they be destructively scanned? If so send them to the Distributed
Proofreading Team! Please email dphelp@pgdp.net with your geographic
location. You will be given the address of the nearest high-speed scanner
(note that the high-speed scanner requires destruction of the book(s) which
will
not be returned). Alternatively, you can send your books directly to:
Charles Franks
9030 W. Sahara Ave. #195
Las Vegas, NV 89117
Please make sure that any books you send are _not_ already in the archive
and please check them against David's "In Progress" list at:
http://www.dprice48.freeserve.co.uk/GutIP.html
to ensure no one is currently working on them. It would also be helpful if
you obtain copyright clearance before mailing the books, and send the 'OK'
lines to
dphelp@pgdp.net
Do you like to work on an entire book at once but don't have the time
or technology to do the scanning, OCR, and initial proofing yourself?
Distributed Proofreaders has the perfect solution! Just send us email
telling us that you are interested in post-processing and we will help
find a you project you would like to work on.

*** Have We Given Away A Trillion Books/Dollars Yet???
Statistical Review
In the 47 weeks of this year, we have produced 3800 new eBooks.
It took us from 1971 to 2002 to produce our FIRST 3800 eBooks!!!
That's 47 WEEKS as Compared to ~31 YEARS!!!
With 10,565 eBooks online as of November 26, 2003 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $0.95 from each book,
for Project Gutenberg to have currently given away $1,000,000,000,000
[One Trillion Dollars] in books.
100,000,000 readers is only about 1.5% of the world's population!
This "cost" is down from about $1.56 when we had 6297 eBooks A Year Ago
Can you imagine 10,000 books each costing $.61 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine 10,000 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???
At 10,565 eBooks in 32 Years and 4.75 Months We Averaged
326 Per Year [We do more per than that month these days!]
27 Per Month
.89 Per Day
At 3,822 eBooks Done In The 329 Days Of 2003 We Averaged
11.6 Per Day
81.3 Per Week
354.3 Per Month
The production statistics are calculated based on full weeks'
production; each production-week starts/ends Wednesday noon,
starts with the first Wednesday of January. January 1st was
the first Wednesday of 2003, and thus ended PG's production
year of 2002 and began the production year of 2003 at noon.
This year there will be 53 Wednesdays, thus one extra week.

[PG Editor's Comments In Brackets]
From Newsscan:
THE WIRELESS, THE SEEKERS, AND THE SORTERS
A new study by the Pew Internet & American Life Project has found that 27%
of teenagers and 20-somethings are considering abandoning their home phones in
favor using only their cell phones. Overall, 21% of cell phone users of all
ages
have considered canceling their home phone service, but as of now only 3% have
actually gotten rid of their fixed-line phones. The study also found that the
tech elite consists mostly of 30-somethings who spend an average of $169 a
month
on information goods. Study author John Horrigan points out as a new paradox
the fact that those who consume more information technology are the least
likely
to report feeling overwhelmed by the volume of information: "They know how to
sort through that." (Washington Post 24 Nov 2003)

VIRTUAL HIGH SCHOOL
The Michigan Virtual High School program has become the second-largest such
program in the country, with more than 7,200 student enrollments. The program
allows students to take courses over the Internet to earn credit for a variety
of classes not offered in their own schools. One student in the program says:
"It's not as hard as I thought it would be. You don't have to sit in a
classroom
and listen to teachers talk. I can only listen to a teacher for so long." Out
of
13 states with the program, Florida has the highest enrollment, with an
expected
20,000 student enrollments this school year. (AP/USA Today 23 Nov 2003)

PRAGUE: WHERE IT'S AT, INFORMATION-WISE
The Czech Republic is being increasingly seen by global corporations as an
excellent location for their customer call centers as well as back-office
and IT operations. DHL, the logistics group, will eventually be employing
1,000 people at a data center in Prague to track shipments, customer queries
and
billing activities throughout Europe, and Accenture, the consulting firm, plans
a five-fold increase in employees in Prague over the next five years, to 1,500
employees. The Los Angeles Times reports that whereas previously service
projects went to cheaper destinations such as India and the Philippines,
Western
companies now see central Europe as a viable alternative because it is closer
in
culture and time zone to companies' headquarters, and because it has a
better-qualified workforce, with a large pool of expatriates who can speak
multiple languages. (Los Angeles Times 24 Nov 2003)

CELLPHONE SWITCHING
About a hundred thousand cellphone users changed their wireless service
carriers yesterday, taking advantage of a new federal rule allowing
consumers to switch without penalty. However, the number of people making
the switch was far smaller than what had been predicted, and a Consumers
Union spokesperson said, "Our guess is today people may be taking it kind of
slow." People are now allowed to keep their phone numbers when they switch
wireless carriers or when they convert from fixed-line to wireless phone
service. (San Jose Mercury News 25 Nov 2003)

ANTI-SPAM BILL PASSES IN HOUSE, SENATE
The Senate passed a bill to curb junk commercial e-mail by voice vote on
Tuesday, and the House passed a similar measure on Saturday by a vote of
392 to 5. President Bush is expected to sign the legislation (known as the
"Can Spam" Act) once the two bills are reconciled. Many are skeptical.
California state Democrat senator Debra Bowen says, "The bill doesn't can
spam, it legalizes it. It's full of loopholes. It's difficult to enforce.
It's weaker than many state laws." And telecom attorney Charlie Kennedy
advised: "The best line of defense for consumers are the antispam filters
which are available commercially." (New York Times 26 Nov 2003)

FREE ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE FROM COMPUTER ASSOCIATES
Computer Associates (CA) announced this week it will make its eTrust EZ
Armor software--which includes virus protection and a personal
firewall--available at no charge to consumers in an effort to protect
corporate networks from the large number of unprotected home users.
CA's Ian Hameroff said that his company remains focused on corporate
customers but that threats increasingly come from home users. CA's
announcement sent the stock prices of competing antivirus companies
falling. Symantec's stock dropped seven percent, while that of Network
Associates fell five percent. At least one analyst said the reaction
was excessive, however. Donovan Gow of American Technology Research
noted that CA only holds six percent of the antivirus market worldwide
and just one percent of the consumer market. Hameroff said CA's
motivation in offering the software for free "was not to erode the
market share of our competitors."

Headline News Mostly Avoided By The Major U.S. Media
IF WE HAD A BOOMING ECONOMY IN THE 90'S, THEN WHY DID
THE BANKRUPTCY RATE DOUBLE IN THE LAST 10 YEARS?
Personal bankruptcies in the U.S. have doubled over
the past 10 years, pretty consistently, at a yearly
rate of increase of 7%. This was true even during
the major economic boom period of the 1990s, and it
has recently increased to 8%, which means that at
the rate bankruptcies are doubling every 9 years.
According to a Harvard study, the major reason is
that the economic boom has only been paying any
returns to the upper crust, while the daily jobs
have been being shipped overseas, or merely just
downsized out of existence.
This has been getting media coverage only in the
off peak programs off the major media pathways.
***
Speaking of our major television anchors last week:
"Do you ever wonder why Dan Rather, Tom Brokaw, Peter Jennings
and even Jim Lehrer started reading off GDP statistics instead
of GNP numbers?"
Someone pointed out that the three major TV anchors are each
about twice as old as the US median age of 33. . . .
On the average they started as news anchors when Reagan was
just starting his first administration.
Name Born Ages Anchor
Dan Rather 1931 72 and Anchor since 1981
Tom Brokaw 1940 63 and Anchor since 1982
Peter Jennings 1938 65 and Anchor since 1983
Jim Lehrer 1934 69 and Anchor since 1975
==========================================================
Average 1936 67 and Anchor since 1980
I've noticed that each of them is stuttering more now, but
I'm sure they'll all try to make it through the upcoming
presidential election, but their average age will be 72
by the one after that, and I'll bet they all go within
about the same number of years as they were hired. . . .
The real question is: who will replace them? And why?
What will be the criteria for the new news anchors?
If the new ones start today and are the same age as
these were when they started anchoring, they will
each have been born at an average date of 1959. . . .
It looks as if we will never have an era of anchors
who were developing in the 50's and 60's. . . .
We could go straight from those who developed in
the Great Depression and WWII, those we have now,
to those who came from the MBA and disco generation.

"NO BLOOD FOR DRUGS???"
Apparently Vioxx is over $100 a month in the U.S.
and $35 a month in Canada.
$27B in tax dollars spent on basic research in
the U.S. dollars, much of which benefits the
pharmaceutical industry, which they not only
don't pay for, but they don't pay tax dollars
on their own research or advertizing; says the
Chairman of the House Science Committee. This
means the U.S. taxpayers pay three subsidies
to the pharmaceutical industry:
1. By paying so much more for their products.
2. By paying for most of the $27 of research above.
3. Oof, sorry, I forgot the third one. . . .

KIDS RESTRAINTS MANDATED TO AGE 8 IN ILLINOIS
Kids who had graduated from car seats at age 5
are going back into their padded restraints
for another 3 years in Illinois.
I once did some research that indicated the
odds of a child being saved by one of these
was something quite minimal. . .way under 1%.
I don't like the idea of creating industries
mandated by goverment to protect against the
odds things that are less than 1% that takes
a billion dollars out of our pockets to give
it to someone such as Cosco, whose product
was denounced this week by the major media
as allowing kids to be tossed out onto the
highway in collisions as slow as 30 MPH.
I wonder if kids raised in car seats are
going to be severely underdeveloped.
***
My best friend just sent me this reply:
"Maximum Security is ALWAYS a Prison."
She works at a school where NO incidents
have EVER been reported, yet they will be
going to a high security system next spring
in which everyone has to have a badge on
and visible at all times, keyless entry
that works like a times bank vault. . .
we're just waiting for the schood day
when no one can get in at all. . . .
Of course, it does nothing to stop anyone
who just throws bricks through the window
and climbs in. . . .

Last, but not least. . .
ECONOMIC WARFARE ON THE MEDICAL FRONT
1. Americans have been going to Canada
to buy their prescription drugs for half
as much as they pay here in the U.S.
2. There are those who claim these drugs
are inferior to those bought in the U.S.
3. These are the same drugs, often from
the same production lots they buy here,
filled from the same U.S. prescriptions.
4. The drug companies nearly lobbied in
a law that would prevent this, or ordering
from Canadian drug stores over the Internet,
the phone, etc.
5. Finally, the drug companies have stopped
or reduced shipping to Canadian drug stores
they suspect are selling to Americans.
6. In response, the Illinois Governor,
Rod Blagojievich has said he will eliminate
as many of the products of these companies
as possible from the preferred list for
Illinois drug purchases.
7. Those of you who have been reading this
Newsletter for some time may recall that I
predicted some kind of economic warfare on
the medical front.
It's not just free things like Naptster they
want to shut down, these drugs were paid for,
by all parties concerned. It's just that the
U.S. wants to allow for non-competition to a
degree that even prevents the re-importation
of things made in the U.S.
Apparently some 60% of the price paid by U.S.
citizens for many prescriptions goes to the
bottom line, leaving only 40% to pay for the
research, advertising and salaries. . . . I
heard that the drug companies are spending
twice as much on advertising than research
since the onslaught of TV ads that bypass
doctors and present products directly to
the public [which used to be illegal].

The Project Gutenberg Weekly Newsletter 19th November 2003
eBooks Readable By Both Humans and Computers For Since 1971
Part 3: New Project Gutenberg Documents
----------------------------------------------------------------------
-=] ANNOUNCING A MAJOR CHANGE -- UPDATE! [=-
UPDATE: The below announcement is being resent with changes to
reflect the new website URL for Project Gutenberg, i.e., the old
address of ibiblio.org/gutenberg/ has been replaced with
gutenberg.net. Please visit http://gutenberg.net for more information.
With the posting of eBook #10001 in November of 2003, a major change in
eBook filenaming was instituted. Prior to that, Project Gutenberg eBooks
were assigned unique base filenames, usually 5 characters; each of those
files also has a version number, and are arranged by the year they were
released.
Beginning with #10001, the eBook number is also being used as the base
filename. For example, the plain text version of #10010 will have the
filename 10010.txt; the HTML version would have the filename 10010-h.htm.
Also, with new-style postings, each eBook is posted in a subdirectory based
on the same number as the eBook number; all of the available formats of each
eBook will be accessible in that subdirectory. eBook #10010 will be in
/1/0/0/1/10010/. More on this below.
The full URL for the test xersion of #10010 at our main PG download site
is:
http://gutenberg.net/1/0/0/1/10010/10010.txt
For the zip of that text:
http://gutenberg.net/1/0/0/1/10010/10010.zip
To download that zip file via ftp from the main PG download site:
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/1/0/0/1/10010.zip
Usually, however, the easiest way to obtain Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks is
to start at the main PG search facility:
http://gutenberg.net/find.shtml
There, you can find eBooks by Title or Author; there is also an advanced
search facility, where you may be able to find eBooks based on subject, or
for a particular language. The main PG database sometimes does not include
more recent additions, so direct access to the files for downloading is also
available.
As these processes and procedures are refined over the coming weeks, we will
keep you updated.
--INSTANT ACCESS TO EBOOKS NUMBERED GREATER THAN 10000
eBooks posted since November 2003, with eBooks numbered greater than #10000,
are filed in a different way. (Note: The year of release date is no longer
part of the directory path.) Both the filename and directory path are based on
the eBook number. For example, the text format of eBook #10010 would be named
10010.txt.
The path is also based on the etext number, and is made up of single digits
corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename. So, if you know
the number, you know exactly where to find the eBook!
The path for our example, 10010.txt, would be /1/0/0/1/10010/. Of course,
the address of the download site would have to be prepended to the path;
if the main PG site was being used, the full URL, including the filename,
would be:
http://gutenberg.net/1/0/0/1/10010/10010.txt
The zip file of the above would be:
http://gutenberg.net/1/0/0/1/10010/10010.zip
Using the ftp site at iBiblio to obtain the zip:
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/1/0/0/1/10010/10010.zip
And you can see all the available files for #10010 at
http://gutenberg.net/1/0/0/1/10010/
Corrected EDITIONS of these eBooks replace the old file and are then given the
original filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed and
archived.
New VERSIONS are based on different sources, and are treated as new eBooks,
to which are assigned new filenames and etext numbers.
File formats other than plain text will have a format-designator appended to
the filename, as well as an appropriate file extension. The following list
indicates the most common formats likely to be found at Project Gutenberg:
Plain text 12345.txt 12345.zip
8-bit text 12345-8.txt 12345-8.zip
(Includes: ISO-8859-1, CP-1252, MacRoman)

*** HOT Requests!!!
For those of you who are trying to get some PR for Project Gutenberg,
the UPI said this week:
"These are momentous times in the digital content industry. . . .
"Project Gutenberg - the pioneering and largest depository of free,
mostly "plain-vanilla" (text only) e-books - added the 10,000-th
title to its unsurpassed collection. In the meantime, e-book
aggregators, such as blackmask.com, now proffer tens of thousands
of free titles for download in up to 8 file formats. Even Microsoft
has spent the last few months offering a free weekly selection of 3
commercial titles each, exclusively readable on its MS-Reader application."
***
Project Gutenberg is seeking graphics we can use for our Web
pages and publicity materials. If you have original graphics
depicting Project Gutenberg themes, please contribute them!
To see some of what we have now, please see:

Project Gutenberg DVD Needs Burners
So far we have access to a dozen DVD burners. If you have
a DVD burner or know someone with one, please email me
so we can plan how many DVD's we can make with all 10,000
Project Gutenberg eBooks on them when they are ready. We
can likely send you a box of CDs containing most of these
files early, and then a final update CD in November when
you would download the last month's/weeks' releases.
I have the first test 10K Special DVD here right now!!!
Nearly all of our first 10,000 eBooks, and multiple formats!
*** PROJECT GUTENBERG IS SEEKING LEGAL BEAGLES
Project Gutenberg is seeking (volunteer) lawyers. We have
regular needs for intellectual property legal advice
(both US and international) and other areas. Please email
Project Gutenberg's CEO, Greg Newby <gbnewby AT pglaf.org> ,
if you can help.
*** Progress Report
[Disclaimer: We have several people and programs who count
up the Project Gutenberg eBooks and help create the statistics
we provide. Every once in a while these don't agree, and we
have numbers that slightly disagree, even as to the number of
weeks in a given year. . .for example, 2003 has 53 Wednesdays,
so we will have 53 Newsletters, and thus will count 53 weeks,
at least some of us will. . . . ;-) This week is unusual,
because we are in the process of reestablishing our databases
after reaching eBook #10,000 a few weeks ago, and the programs
are not yet back to running at full capacity. Thus, we have
had several mere mortals counting up the books and disagreeing
on how many there are. I counted 87, George counted 84, and
one day we didn't get any reports at all, so we could both be
somewhat off. Hopefully next week we will get back to normal.]
In the first 10.50 months of this year, we produced 3,653 new eBooks.
It took us from 1971 to 2001 to produce our first 3,653 eBooks!
That's 46 WEEKS as Compared to ~31 Years!

DISTRIBUTED PROOFREADERS NEEDS CONTENT, PROOFERS AND SCANNER TYPES
Please contact us at:
dphelp@pgdp.net
if you would like to know more about the Distributed Proofreaders.
Thanks to very good recent publicity, the Distributed Proofreading
project has greatly accelerated its pace. Please visit the site:
http://www.pgdp.net
for more information about how you can help a lot, by
simply proofreading just a few pages per day, or more.
If you have a book that has been scanned, but not yet run
through OCR (optical character recognition) or proofed,
and you would like the Distributed Proofreaders to work on it,
please email dphelp@pgdp.net and we will get things started.
Also, DP is seeking public domain books not already in the
Project Gutenberg collection. To see what is already online,
visit http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/GUTINDEX.ALL (a text file),
since the online database doesn't reflect recent additions.
Do you have Public Domain books your would like to see in the archive?
Can they be destructively scanned? If so send them to the Distributed
Proofreading Team! Please email dphelp@pgdp.net with your geographic
location. You will be given the address of the nearest high-speed scanner
(note that the high-speed scanner requires destruction of the book(s) which
will not be returned). Alternatively, you can send your books directly to:
Charles Franks
9030 W. Sahara Ave. #195
Las Vegas, NV 89117
Please make sure that any books you send are _not_ already in the archive
and please check them against David's "In Progress" list at:
http://www.dprice48.freeserve.co.uk/GutIP.html
to ensure no one is currently working on them. It would also be helpful if
you obtain copyright clearance before mailing the books, and send the 'OK'
lines to
dphelp@pgdp.net
Do you like to work on an entire book at once but don't have the time
or technology to do the scanning, OCR, and initial proofing yourself?
Distributed Proofreaders has the perfect solution! Just send us email
telling us that you are interested in post-processing and we will help
find a you project you would like to work on.

*** Have We Given Away A Trillion Books/Dollars Yet???
Statistical Review
In the 46 weeks of this year, we have produced 3653 new eBooks.
It took us from 1971 to 2002 to produce our FIRST 3653 eBooks!!!
That's 46 WEEKS as Compared to ~31 YEARS!!!
With 10,396 eBooks online as of November 19, 2003 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $0.96 from each book,
for Project Gutenberg to have currently given away $1,000,000,000,000
[One Trillion Dollars] in books.
100,000,000 readers is only about 1.5% of the world's population!
This "cost" is down from about $1.57 when we had 6297 eBooks A Year Ago
Can you imagine 10,000 books each costing $.61 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine 10,000 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???
At 10,396 eBooks in 32 Years and 4.50 Months We Averaged
321 Per Year [We do more per than that month these days!]
27 Per Month
.88 Per Day
At 3,653 eBooks Done In The 315 Days Of 2003 We Averaged
11.3 Per Day
79.4 Per Week
347.9 Per Month
The production statistics are calculated based on full weeks'
production; each production-week starts/ends Wednesday noon,
starts with the first Wednesday of January. January 1st was
the first Wednesday of 2003, and thus ended PG's production
year of 2002 and began the production year of 2003 at noon.
This year there will be 53 Wednesdays, thus one extra week.

[PG Editor's Comments In Brackets]
From Newsscan:
[I Know People Like This!!!]
HELP! I'M BEING HELD PRISONER BY MY TIVO!
TiVo -- the personal video recorder that cleverly records programs all day
on its hard drive based on the preferences of owners -- is being blamed for
turning otherwise-casual TV watchers into slaves shackled to their sofas,
unable to keep up with the flood of their favorite shows. Fanatical TiVo
users complain that their hard drives -- which come in either 40-hour or
80-hour sizes -- quickly fill up with programs they can't bear to delete,
but don't have time to watch. "For something that is supposed to be
relaxing and unwinding at the end of the day, you (think), 'Wow! I have a
lot of shows to watch,'" says Scott Bedard, technology director at an
online media company in San Francisco. Kevin Coto, a financial systems
consultant in New York, can relate: "I get to the point now where I skip
going to the gym so I can keep up with watching 'Dawson's Creek' reruns,"
which are broadcast for two hours each day. "I look forward to when they
end so I won't be so stressed." Nevertheless, most TiVo aficionados can't
imagine life without their favorite device. "If the box was broken I would
have to go out and buy a new one right away. I can't see myself going a
week without it," says Coto. (Reuters 11 Nov 2003)

[Will 100's of Millions of Present Day TVs End Up In Our Landfills?]
'MUST CARRY'? MAYBE NOT
The Federal Communications Commission plans to reject a request by TV
broadcasters to force cable companies to show both digital and analog
versions of network programs to expand the television audience to viewers
who own new high-definition TV sets. Cable companies oppose a so-called dual
"must-carry" requirement because it would force them to duplicate their
current network programming, and perhaps squeez out other cable channels.
All five FCC commissioners have decided individually to deny the
broadcasters' request, and Legg Mason analyst Blair Levin says,
"Commissioners seem to think there'd be too much of a burden on cable
without sufficient public benefit."

FCC WANTS TO EXPAND WIRELESS TO UNDERSERVED AREAS
The Federal Communications Commission is reserving a new portion of
high-frequency spectrum for wireless Internet users to encourage the spread
of high-speed data access in rural and other underserved areas. Although
WiFi networks are in widespread use in coffee shops and hotel lobbies across
the country, the goal now is to expand high-speed data connections to
sparsely populated communities and entire neighborhoods.

Headline News Mostly Avoided By The Major U.S. Media
GDP IS LITERALLY A DILUTED SPIN DOCTORING OF GNP
GDP = Gross Domestic Product GNP = Gross National Product
Do you ever wonder why Dan Rather, Tom Brokaw, Peter Jennings
and even Jim Lehrer started reading off GDP statistics instead
of GNP numbers?
It's just more spin doctoring to make the U.S. economy not
look as weak as it really is. I wondered about his when it
started, and downloaded much of the following:
It is literally impossible to count every single product the U.S.
makes and every single hour of labor we provide. Therefore our GNP
is only an estimate. The way the government figures GNP is to put
products and services into five major categories: consumer (C),
investment (I), government spending (G), exports (X), and imports (M).
GNP = C+I+G+X-M is the formula. We add up the first four categories,
then subtract our imports because imports, of course, are not made in
this country. Lately the U.S. has not really counted exports and imports.
The government is now just adding up C+I+G and forgetting about the
X and M. This new measure is called Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
The formula is GDP=C+I+G. Notice that GDP is actually larger than GNP
because the dollar value of our imports is greater than the dollar value
of our exports. By using GDP, our economy doesn't show up as being as weak
due to the fact our imports outweigh our exports by a huge amount.
This is now simply eliminated from the news by the stroke of a gov't pen.
Try counting up just how much of the Evening News is written by such pens.
*
We noticed another one of these since writing the above:
re: the news about the U.S. economy, particularly the NON-trickling-down
of the recent economic booms to the public. You've probably all heard a
few reports that unemployment is finally down, even to the point of going
back a few months and saying, "Oops! Those were really UP. . .NOT down."
However, the previous booms, much larger and longer than at present, if
you can call that a boom, never "trickled-down" to any real improvement
in the public buying power. . .nothing in the past several decades.
One way you can tell the Spin Doctors are in total control, is that none
of the reports being issued are continuing to say "seasonally adjusted."
Obviously right now there is a serious "seasonal" boom in employment,
as all the retail outlets have hired on every possible employable person
for "only 68 more shopping days until Christmas," which obviously slants
the employment figures for October, November and December, and "Back To
School" slanted those for August and September. Once the post-holiday
figures come out in February and March, things may look different.

The Project Gutenberg Weekly Newsletter 19th November 2003
eBooks Readable By Both Humans and Computers For Since 1971
Part 2
In this week's Project Gutenberg Weekly Newsletter:
Smart webtools for e-book preparation and editing revisited by Thierry Alberto ...
Brand-new e-gourmet club is inviting you to the dinner next week ...
Alice made a little expedition to find out what Early English Text Society really is ...
Tomorrow is Universal Children's day, so it seems naturally to mention some works of Lewis Carroll in the Math and Poetry series ?

Editorial notes
Dear readers,
To make a newsletter is huge effort of many people. It takes lot of emails, sweat on the key-board and plenty of computer-time hours. We glad to present it to you every week and trying to keep it alive and interesting. Alice is working hard now to improve and enhance the form and content (that are deeply connected as we all know ?) of the PG source for news and amusement. Your feedbacks and comments are and always will be greatly appreciated by her and every member of the distributed newsletter team.
Happy reading to everybody!

which is updated weekly. (The searchable catalog at
http://www.gutenberg.net lags behind by several months)
2. Check the "in progress" list to see whether someone is already
working on the eBook. Sometimes, books are listed as in progress for
years - if so, email David Price (his address is on the list) to ask
for contact information for the person working on the book. The "in
progress" list:
http://www.dprice48.freeserve.co.uk/GutIP.html
3. If the book seems to be a good candidate (pre-1923 publication
date, or 1923-1988 published in the US without a copyright notice),
submit scans of the title page and verso page (even if the verso is
blank) to:
http://beryl.ils.unc.edu/copy.html
You'll hear back within a few days.

2) The Distributed Proofreaders Update is coming this week together with the new tools
by Thierry Alberto
Transitional periods are often disconcerting. History reveals that people throughout the
world develop a fondness for the known and potentially familiar. While working on the
upgrade of a web site interface a couple of years ago, I was involved in a debate with
another designer over the scale of some new additions. He argued for keeping the old
designs just as they were, adding that this was sure to be the preference of the existing
audience. Then, as if to solidify his stance he said, "The only person who likes regular
change is a wet baby."
He did not win that day, but his words were tattooed upon my memory, by their charm.
I have thought about them now and again, because I do not necessarily agree with their
view. I believe that there is a certain type of individual who thrives within a transitional
environment. Granted, you will not find large crowds of such people in any one place.
By nature, such a person tends to be more at home in a small, loosely woven social cell.
I can speak for this group because I am kin. After observing and interacting with the DP
community for 9 months, I would say that here is the largest gathering of situational
nomads I have ever encountered.
Change is a constant at DP. The project is like a river which is different every time that
you wade in, transforming even as it flows around you. This dynamic nature does not
suit everyone, and after a taste or two a number of folks will move on. Among those who
have stayed with DP for a measurable time are some who would never consider leaving,
not with any lasting seriousness, anyway. It is this fair sized circle of people who are ever
in the midst of the great transformations to the project. It might be fair to say that they are
in fact the very agents of change, always at the heart of the latest upgrade, feature addition
or process innovation.
In searching for the thread to tie the weekly news with the production focus of this week,
I found myself looking into these ever turning wheels of change that have made DP the
unique success it is today. There is a loosely worded creed of sorts which is passed
around the community now and again. While it is not officially stated anywhere, it comes
very close to a standing policy. It goes more or less like, "If you see something that
clearly needs doing, take the initiative and set it in motion. Others will soon join with you
and iron out the wrinkles."
Whether this process works or not is now beyond the shadows of doubt. Distributed
Proofreaders itself is an example of this method; the follow through of an idea from one
person is today a collective endeavor of thousands. Whether it is an easy choice to
embrace such a process and remain dedicated is a topic for another column.
One example of personal initiative at DP was introduced in last week's newsletter and
will be explored a little further today. This is the development of the series of tool
programs that help automate the different stages of text processing. The people who
built these tools did not wait for approval or instructions, they saw a need and they
went to work at constructing a satisfying solution. Over time, with trial and input, they
evolved their initial efforts and continue to do so today. The exact measure of value
these programs and scripts have added to DP's output is not possible to calculate.
After you have used some of them a few times, it becomes clear that whatever the
specific measurement, this contribution has made a profound difference in the both the
degree and quality of DP's final product.
Among the most widely used tools are Steve Schulze's guiprep and guiguts, their alter
egos Winprep and Winguts; the tool suite of GutAxe; GutHammer; GutSweeper;
GutWrench, written by Bill Flis and the Re-Wrap and Indent script created by Bill
Keir. These are by no means all the tools available to assist the DP process but those
which are utilized in the Pre and Post production stages, that have been featured within
the column previously. There are many other tools which have become incorporated
into the proofing process. One is the customized proofing font, which makes it easier
on the eyes to spot less obvious errors. Another valuable assist is the transliteration
panel for Greek letters, originally created by DP's Donovan and long since incorporated
as a fixed component in the proofing interface.
In future columns we will explore each of these tools a little further. A permanent feature
for the off-line programs and scripts is presently being constructed upon the newsletter
archive site. Here, tools will be available for download to independent text developers
along with background information and extensive help files. This effort has the full support
of the tool masters, thus the archive feature should evolve into a valuable resource over time.
Here in the column we will be providing space for the developers to introduce the tools
in their own words. This week we begin our spotlight with the suite of tools created
and maintained by Bill Flis
=============================
GUTWRENCH SUITE (Windows only)
All four programs are contained in a single .zip file, downloadable at:
http://frankfordinstitute.bravepages.com/GutWrench.htm
The programs come with documentation that explains their function in more detail. Email the
author at flis@detk.com if you have any problems or suggestions. GutAxe and GutHammer
are probably of most interest outside DP, as they are not at all DP-specific. Anyone interested
in the Visual Basic source code is welcome to it.
GutAxe
This simple program helps make rapid corrections to errors in e-texts. These include many
"Stealth Scannos" (OCR errors that will pass a spell-checker), words that are usually hyphenated
or have accents or ligatures, and mistakes in punctuation and markups. It is intended mainly as a
quick-and-dirty, time-saving, error-reducing tool, not as a replacement for other more thorough
tools, such as Gutcheck or a spell-checker.
It works much like a spell-checker: when it finds an error, it shows the context and proposes the
likely correction, asking the user to confirm. For example, if it finds the word "arid", it asks
whether this should be changed to "and" (a "Stealth Scanno", because the erroneous word "arid"
will pass a spell-checker). If it finds the string "Mrs," (with a comma), it asks whether it should
be changed to "Mrs." (with a period). Of course, many errors do not have such predictable
corrections or are too unlikely to occur (it doesn't flag "and" as possibly "arid", e.g.), and GutAxe
does not attempt to be a completely general tool. However, it flags a relatively low percentage of
"false positives" and enables the user to not only find but also correct a large number of errors in
a short time.
It is now set up to check English-language texts (with some French words). However, the errors
that it detects and the corrections it offers are all contained in external text files, which could easily
be edited to handle other languages (no re-programming needed).
GutSweeper
GutSweeper is a little time-saving tool intended to be used first in post-processing at DP. It
automatically cleans up clear-cut errors. It divides any very long lines of text (over a specified
length). It does some general cleaning up: removes trailing and double blanks, and deletes blank
lines at the bottoms of pages (before the DP-style Page Separators). A preliminary text-checking
feature insures that it will not be confused by erroneous poetry and other mark-ups.
GutWrench
This multi-purpose error-finding tool performs three kinds of functions:
1. Mapping the text. This function creates various tables concerning the text:
a) List of all characters in the file and their frequencies.
b) "Page Map" gives a brief (one-line) summary of special features (such as italic markups,
paragraphs, special characters) that appear on each page of text (between DP-style Page
Separators). This may be printed then quickly compared with the scan images to find missing
features in the text.
c) List of all hyphenated words, and occurrences of unhyphenated versions of them.
d) List of all accented words, and occurrences of unaccented versions.
e) Concordance (alphabetic list of all words, their frequencies, and point of first occurrence)
f) List of all lines of text having adjacent UPPER CASE characters (useful for checking chapter headings and finding some errors).
2. Checking the text for errors (intended as a supplement to Gutcheck):
a) Hyphens and dashes
b) Italic and bold (HTML-style) markups
c) Stealth scannos, including also optional lists of "ftealth fcannof" (old-style long "s" confused
with "f") and French and "other" (mostly a few German) stealth scannos. (These lists are all
contained in external text files, easily modified or expanded.)
d) Other assorted errors in punctuation.
3. Modifying the text:
a) Joins short lines of text (outside of poetry and other markups, and provided the result is
shorter than a specified length).
b) Deletes trailing blanks.
c) Deletes DP-style Page Separators.
d) Deletes poetry, block quote, and stet markups.
GutHammer
This is an easy-to-use text-rewrapping program. It uses a simplified version of Big_Bill's
markups (see his RewrapIndent program) to handle poetry (indented), block quotes (indented
and rewrapped), and tables (left as is). Optionally, it will simultaneously replace HTML-style
<i>italic</i> and <b>bold</b> markups with specified characters, or convert <b>bold</b> to
ALL UPPER CASE. It uses a GUI to adjust its settings (e.g., column width), but it runs
non-interactively--just a few mouse-clicks and you're done!
===========================
Next week we spotlight the tools of Steve Schulze and take a closer look at the forerunners
of today's tools; GutCheck and PRTK (Proof Reader's Tool Kit). This week is still unfolding
around us and there is much change taking place, even as I write these words. The most
prominent alterations in recent days are immediately obvious to any regular visitor to the DP
forums. In fact, it is fair to say that if you tend to the familiar and cozy, you may still be a
little startled by the depth and width of the to this week's forum transformations. While it may
seem to have occurred with the suddenness of an earthquake, the reorganization is long in
planning and implemented with the best intentions for DP's future.
The most important thing to be aware of is that nothing has been lost or removed. It may
require a little searching around, but you will find everything is still there. Several new
forums have been created, some for better organization, some to make the forums more
friendly and accessible to new members and others were added because their time had
come. Among the new additions is a tier specifically set aside for new proofers and new
forums for Project Management; Mentoring; Promotion, even a gathering place for
historical events and discussions of significance to the various DP cultures.
It may all be somewhat overwhelming at first. If so, take your time exploring and getting
accustomed to all the new avenues and interesting side destinations. Just keep in mind,
there's still proofing and content development to do! Not that the new forums will fare
much better than anything else at slowing us down. I am running out of superlatives to
relate this continuous growth in production. If October called us to reach up and stretch
to be the best that we could, November is making that expanded effort look like our
average workaday pace.
We reached 2,500 distinctive texts posted to PG in the past week, without even much of a
murmur in the forums. In November alone, 215 projects have been posted. By month's
end that number will be greater than any previous month. The same looks to be true for all
other measurements of production as quality and output continue to expand. On this course,
November shall be the finest month to date for Distributed Proofreaders, and it appears certain
that at December's end there will be great things to celebrate. The year behind us was nothing
short of wondrous from beginning to end. The year ahead is already shining with promise and
bright indications of great prosperity for world's first free and international library. If they only
knew what was in store for 2004, many book lovers would agree, change is a good thing!
Until next week...
All the best!

3) Newsletter news:
We are starting the new cookery club in the newsletter. See below an invitation to the perfect fall dinner by lovely club hostess Tonya Allen:
Project Gutenberg's Cookery Club
A few weeks ago we ran an article about PG's cookery book collection. Since then, still more cookbooks have been added, including the five-volume Library of Cookery; English Housewifery Exemplified In above Four Hundred and Fifty Receipts Giving Directions for most Parts of Cookery; Directions for Cookery, in its Various Branches; 365 Foreign Dishes (well, foreign from the point of view of the apparently American author); and the most recent addition, the mammoth compendium The Book of Household Management, by Isabella Beeton.
It occurred to some of us that this rich and growing collection could serve as the basis of an interactive weekly column. Each week we will present a menu, with recipes (or links to them). Our intrepid editorial staff will prepare one or more of these dishes, and will report successes, challenges, improvements, and even utter flops in the following issue of the newsletter. Now here's the interactive part: you, our readers, are invited to join the feast. Pick a recipe or two, give it a try at home, and send us your comments and ratings! All comments will be carefully collected and will be available online:
INVITATION [loosely based on Mrs. Beeton's suggestions for civilized conduct in this sphere]
The editorial staff present their compliments to their gentle readers,
and request the honour of their company
at dinner on Wednesday (or Thursday), the 26th (or 27th) of November next, depending on the publishing schedule.
No R.S.V.P. necessary. Come as you are.
An endless candlelit dining table with flexible seating awaits you in our corner of cyberspace.
Our first full menu will appear next week. Meantime, we'll whet your appetites with this starter from The Belgian Cookbook http://www.ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext05/7blgn10.txt :
GOURMANDS' MUSHROOMS
There was a man in Ghent who loved mushrooms, but he could only eat them
done in this fashion. If you said, "Monsieur, will you have them tossed
in butter?" he would roar out, "No--do you take me for a Prussian? Let me
have them properly cooked."
Melt in a pan a lump of butter the size of a tangerine orange and squeeze
on it the juice of half a lemon. The way to get a great deal of juice
from a lemon is to plunge it first of all for a few minutes, say five
minutes, in boiling water. When the butter simmers, throw in a pound of
picked small mushrooms, stir them constantly, do not let them get black.
Then in three or four minutes they are well impregnated with butter, and
the chief difficulty of the dish is over. Put the saucepan further on the
fire, let it boil for a few minutes. Take out the mushrooms, drain them,
sprinkle them with flour, moisten them with gravy, season with salt and
pepper, put them back in the butter and stir in the yolk of an egg. Add
also a little of the lemon juice that remains. While you are doing this
you must get another person to cut and toast some bread and to butter it.
Pour on to the bread the mushrooms (which are fit for the greatest saints
to eat on Fridays), and serve them very hot.

3) Notes and Queries, Reviews and Features
Note 1:
Early English Text Society
Following a recent posting on gutvol about the EETS I decided to take
a look and see what it was. Founded by Frederick James Furnivall, with
the help of others in 1864, EETS seems to be an early prototype for
Project Gutenberg. It's aims are to bring the mass of unprinted Early
English literature within the reach of students and also to provide
sound texts that could be a source for what is now called the Oxford
English Dictionary. It continues to publish medieval English texts
today.
So what sorts of texts are we talking about? Current Publications
include The Old English Gospels, Sidrack and Bokkus, and The First
Translation of the Imitatio Christi. What??? Further investigation on
the Oxford University Press website reveals these to be very highly
regarded as texts that give a rare insigt into some of the popular
beliefs of medieval England. Sidrack and Bokkus for example, is a
previously unpublished book of knowledge, written in question and
answer form and enclosed in a framing adventure story taken from an
old French source. The archive looks like it could be a very valuable
addition to Project Gutenberg, and I understand there may be a
possibility that one of those marvellous Uber Projects at Distributed
Proofreaders could be a useful way to get these through (This is known
as a 'hint'!)

Note 2:
Math and Poetry.
The works of Lewis Carroll.
Tomorrow is the Universal children day so it seems to me as non-English person very logical to speak about Lewis Carroll in our math and poetry series. It can be started something like ? ? once upon a time there was a mathematician who?s name was Lewis Carroll ?? And this is of course all wrong ? everybody knows that there was a poet called Lewis Carroll but his name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson and he was actually a mathematician ? His mind games are fascinating, even as brightly pointed out our chief-editor, a little bit too much well-known. However, here is the paradox ? how much out of more than 15 books and plentitude of other printed works, you can list in your memory right now? I bet, that not more than are submitted on Project Gutenberg ?Alice in Wonderland?, ?Through the Looking-Glass?, ?Haunting of the Snark?, ?Sylvie and Bruno? ? what else do we have in GUTINDEX ? http://www.ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext03/thgmf10.txt and the Phantasmagoria and Other Poems http://www
.ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext96/fntsm10.txt. Bright and genius they are, with amusing interweaving of math and poetry inside. The highly structured formlessness of his poetry is always reminding me the water ? it suits every occasion but yet it can not be squeezed much. Zen koans are somewhat similar ? the huge mind space created by skilful nonsense. Speaking about the kids and math, my favorite math book in the childhood was A Tangled Tale with its Mad Mathesis (translated to my home language as Mad Mathemathilda ?), Her Radiance and other strange personages. You can find it on the internet http://home.earthlink.net/~lfdean/carroll/tangled/, so as usually if not to submit to PG, but at least to enjoy the reading. There is quite many other
e-texts forgotten due to the overwhelming popularity of their author, which sounds as another L.C. paradox, isn?t it? This one however is easier to solve than one of the Achilles , I think ?

What Tortoise said to Achilles:
http://www.lewiscarroll.org/achilles.html
'Achilles had overtaken the Tortoise, and had seated himself comfortably on its back.
"So you've got to the end of our race-course?" said the Tortoise. "Even though it does consist of an infinite series of distances? I thought some wiseacre or other had proved that the thing couldn't be done?"
"It can be done," said Achilles. "It has been done! Solvitur ambulando. You see the distances were constatntly diminishing: and so -"
"But if they had been constantly increasing?" the Tortoise interrupted. "How then?"
"Then I shouldn't be here," Achilles modestly replied; "and you would have got several times round the world, by this time!"
"You flatter me - flatten, I mean," said the Tortoise; "for you are a heavy weight, and no mistake! Well now, would you like to hear of a race-course, that most people fancy they can get to the end of in two or three steps, while it really consists of an infinite number of distances, each one longer than the previous one?"
"Very much indeed!" said the Grecian warrior, as he drew from his helmet (few warriors possessed pockets in those days) an enormous note-book and a pencil. "Proceed! And speak slowly, please! Short-hand isn't invented yet!"
"That beautiful First Proposition of Euclid!" the Tortoise murmured dreamily. "You admire Euclid?"
"Passionately! So far, at least, as one can admire a treatise that won't be published for some centuries to come!" ?..?
-------------------
And for the desert and entertainment let's play Doublets - the word game invented by mathematician Charles Lutwidge Dodgson with much help of poet Lewis Carroll. Its name got transformed to the Word Ladders, Word Chains or Stepword however it's essence remained untouched since 1879, when Mr.Dodgson has published his new invention in the magazine Vanity Fair : "The rules of the Puzzle are simple enough. Two words are proposed, of the same length; and the Puzzle consists in linking these together by interposing other words, each of which shall differ from the next word in one letter only. That is to say, one letter may be changed in one of the given words, then one letter in the word so obtained, and so on, till we arrive at the other given word. The letters must not be interchanged among themselves, but each must keep to its own place. As an example, the word 'head' may be changed into 'tail' by interposing the words 'heal, teal, tell, tall'. I call the given words 'a Doublet'
, the interposed words 'Links', and the entire series 'a Chain', of which I here append an example:
Head
Heal
Teal
Tell
Tall
Tail
It is, perhaps, needless to state that it is de rigueur that the links should be English words, such as might be used in good society."
Here are a few more examples:
Make DOOR LOCK in 3 steps
DOOR
boor
book
look
LOCK
Obtain LOAN from BANK
BANK
bonk
book
look
loon
LOAN
See on the http://thinks.com/puzzles/doublets.htm for more interesting word ladders' examples. You can also try on your own:
Turn RIVER to FLOOD (suggested 11 steps)
HARD to SOFT (suggested 4 steps)
CLIMB to HILLS (suggested 8 steps)
SMALL to GREAT (suggested 9 steps)

The Project Gutenberg Weekly Newsletter 12th November 2003
eBooks Readable By Both Humans and Computers For Since 1971
Part 2
In this week's Project Gutenberg Weekly Newsletter:
1) Editorial
2) News
Distributed Proofreaders Update
3) Notes and Queries, Reviews and Features
4) Mailing list information
Editorial
Hello,
Maths. Not a subject you might expect from a newsletter concerned with
literature I suppose, well, Gali takes a look at both maths and poetry
this week. I am planning an article on some of the mathematical texts
we have here at Project Gutenberg in the near future. A useful website
also comes out of the shadows this week at authorama.
Talking of websites, moves are afoot with the main Project Gutenberg
website. Expect to find yourself quoting the super snappy
www.gutenberg.net at people very soon. What! I hear you cry, but that
was the old address where you couldn't get any up to date
information. Well, ladies and gentlemen while you have been distracted
by the perfectly fomed vision of the newsletter these last few weeks,
many of our hard working troops have been out the back, dragging in
the scenery and some of the more useful props to improve your website
reading pleasure. I can't name them all as I don't know them all, and
some of them wouldn't want to be mentioned anyway - but if you would
please, a round of applause for the new website.
Happy reading,
Alice

============= [ SUBMIT A NEW EBOOK FOR COPYRIGHT CLEARANCE ]==============
If you have a book you would like to confirm is in the public domain in
the US, and therefore suitable for Project Gutenberg, please do the
following:
1. Check whether we have the eBook already. Look in
http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/GUTINDEX.ALL
which is updated weekly. (The searchable catalog at
http://www.gutenberg.net lags behind by several months)
2. Check the "in progress" list to see whether someone is already
working on the eBook. Sometimes, books are listed as in progress for
years - if so, email David Price (his address is on the list) to ask
for contact information for the person working on the book. The "in
progress" list:
http://www.dprice48.freeserve.co.uk/GutIP.html
3. If the book seems to be a good candidate (pre-1923 publication
date, or 1923-1988 published in the US without a copyright notice),
submit scans of the title page and verso page (even if the verso is
blank) to:
http://beryl.ils.unc.edu/copy.html
You'll hear back within a few days.

Authorama Public Domain Books
I would like to let you know about my site, Authorama Public Domain
Books: http://www.authorama.com
The idea of this site is to bring the "Plain Vanilla ASCII" etexts
from Project Gutenberg into easily readable and searchable (X)HTML. So
I spend quite an amount of my spare-time to do the conversions, and
I've written server-side software to split up the larger HTMLs into
sub-chapters.
One of my main aims is to make the site accessible to the visitor, as
well as tools like search-engines. In fact I get 1,000s of visitors
per day coming from Google! They look for different words, and find my
site. I didn't know that would happen but that alone is a reward! When
a Google-user arrives on my Authorama-site, I also try to highlight
the keywords dynamically. Also, I then provide another book-restricted
search-facility, by utilizing the Google Web API (a SOAP/ Web Service
kinda thingie). I then also try to merge it with the Amazon Services
to display related books.
Finally, I still keep a plain-HTML-one-page version of every book on
my page, so that when people want to download or print it, they have
something to go along with.
As a technical detail I deliver the documents as HTML, not XML,
because that causes some browser-problems. I then add CSS to do the
styling, and otherwise separate layout from content. That should do
best on a variety of exotic devices I believe.

Distributed Proofreaders Update
Traditionally with creative projects development tends to slow down as
the year draws to a close. This year at PG/DP just the opposite seems
to be true. As we enter the final fifty days of 2003 we can look
around us and see vibrant activity in just about every sector of
production. This is not simply busy work, but solid, quantifiable
output and significant innovation.
At DP attendance remains steady, while the pages proofed continue to
follow their upward trend of previous weeks and months. One of the
recent innovations to the proofing process is the implementation of
theme based releases. This is an initiative which began with the
commemoration of authors' birthdays. The idea proved so popular that
with broad support an organized system is coming together that will
help DP plan and prepare well in advance for significant international
events and holidays.
The first significant test of this new release method was
yesterday. In honor of Armistice, Remembrance and Veterans' Day, DP
ceased the normal release of projects and turned primary proofing
attention to works associated with the First World War. While the
services and ceremonies of November 11th have expanded over the
decades to recognize participants in other conflicts, the origin of
this memorial day are bound to the ceasing of hostilities in 1918 of
the initial World War.
Some forty books were provided for proofing yesterday and released in
a manner that would allow for a world spanning participation across
all time zones. This extended time of recognition will be continued
for future days of significance. The support for yesterday's day of
observance was far beyond anyone's expectations. With no special
advance notice beyond a one day headline in the DP site news, and no
stated rally in the forums, yesterday finished proofing as the third
most productive day in DP's history. That follows only the original
Slashdot wave of 2002, and the 'Big Climb' of October 31st. At days
end, over 13,000 pages had been completed.
If you were not able to participate yesterday, but would still like to
offer your own gesture, there are several titles remaining to be
proofed. You will find these indicated with red backgrounds to
symbolize the poppy which has long been associated with Armistice
Day. These projects will remain distinctive in the rounds until they
complete proofing.
There are several other events and holidays which will be recognized
between now and the end of the year. These include the a wide range of
faith based days, beginning this week and stretching all the way into
the new year. Also this month are extended recognitions of Native
American history and culture and Childrens' literature. The latter
begins with National Children's Book Week, which is November 17-23 in
the US and November 20, which is Universal Children's Day. We may
also look forward to several more author birthdays this month.
If you have ideas for theme based days, would like to provide content
or find some way to participate, go to the Content Providers forum at
DP. You will see several threads established for collaboration.
In past weeks we have talked about picking up the ongoing exploration
through the various production phases of DP. The pace and import of
recent newsworthy events have kept us off the path of our course,
although we have never strayed too far. While this week's news is also
abundant we will try to take a closer look at the next stage in our
journey, that will, time-willing, resume fully next week. A while back
we took an peek into the Post-production process, and will work our
way back in the DP family tree to the Pre-production process.
For those readers just tuning into the column, or new to DP, there is
a decent amount of work involved in getting projects fully prepared
for the proofreading rounds. When a text appears in the first round of
proofing it has already been advanced through several steps in the
development process of being available on Project Gutenberg. To reach
the stage of proofing readiness a text must first be located in a
condition that would still be readable off-line. The body of the book
could be in horrible shape, the cover could be long gone, but the
pages need to be intact and all present. Most importantly, before any
other step, it must be ascertained that the book is in fact within the
public domain. This requires that the title page, preferably with an
edition number, is scannable accompanied by the verso page, which
should, but does not always, contain the publishing date and/or
copyright statement(s).
Once a content provider has viewable images of these two pages, the
book must be given 'OK' approval for contribution to Project
Gutenberg. This process does not concern itself with the merit of a
book's value, only with verifying that the text is legally within the
public domain by United States laws. There is a form submission tool
provided by PG which makes the clearance process easy enough for first
time users. It is located at the following address:
http://beryl.ils.unc.edu/copy.html There is further information about
providing content at the top of this week's newsletter.
Depending upon the number of submissions a clearance should take no
more than a fewdays to be processed. Before submitting, it is a sound
practice to check that a book is not already within PG or presently
under development. The best place to do this is the wondrous golden
book of PG known affectionately as 'David's List.' This is a regularly
updated labor of dedication maintained by David Price and is the first
place to check before submitting a book for clearance. It lives at
this address on the 'Net: http://www.dprice48.freeserve.co.uk/GutIP.html
If a submission proves to be legal to reproduce, there should be no
trouble with receiving an 'OK' to proceed. Once a provider has a
clearance for a book, the real fun begins. In order to generate the
text required for proofing, a book must first be scanned and the scans
must be processed with OCR software which produces the raw, first
draft text of an e-book.
Once this has been completed, the text and images must be processed
and readied for the DP development system. This stage of production
has come a long way since DP's first book was produced. Akin to all
growth and innovations throughout DP, the advances in pre-production
have made content providing easier to approach, swifter to complete
and more efficient overall. As with post-production, the contribution
which has made a profound difference in the quality and speed of
preparation is the set of text checking and modifying tools which have
been constructed by members of the DP community.
A full history of the evolution of the tools which are involved in the
DP process is simply not possible in the space we have. To recognize
this contribution to Project Gutenberg and to promote the use of these
tools for independent content developers, the newsletter will be
adding an evolving feature to the archive. Every week or so there will
be a profile of one of the tools and a background with useful
suggestions provided by the developers. A full history of the tools of
PG/DP will supplement the profiles. It will also be possible to
download each tool directly from the newsletter archive.
So that's an introduction to the pre-production process which is about
what we have time and space for this week. More and more, what you
will be seeing is an expansion of topics and features from the DP
column covered in-depth on the newsletter's archive site. At present,
all previous issues of the PG Newsletter are now available for
viewing, going all the way back to 1989. You can also find a distinct
section set aside for all editions of the DP column to date. It's
beginning to look like a new on-line destination to me.
As always, if you have an idea that seems like it may enrich the
newsletter archive or be of interest to the PG community at large,
please feel free to suggest it to Alice via the archive site. The same
holds for any topics that you would like to see explored in future
issues, feel welcome to suggest them.
To everyone who participated in yesterday's recognition of Armistice day
and particularly to the content providers who worked overtime to
prepare texts, a very sincere and earned Thank You!
Until next week...

Radio Gutenberg Update
http://www.radio-gutenberg.org
Two channels of broadcasting are available, but what for the subtle
change in the web address, that's org not com.
channel 1 - Sherlock Holmes "The Sign of Four"
channel 2 - Robert Sheckley's "Bad Medicine"
Both are high quality live readings from the collection.
Jon and I are working on a new service for Project Gutenberg
to create an audio book on demand from any of the 10,000+
books in the collection. This service will be available at
http://www.radio-gutenberg.org shortly.
Anyone needing an audio book of a gutenberg book will be able to
create it for themselves on the web, right when they have the need
for it.
We may ask for testers sometime in November.

Improved Service
In a bid to make the newsletter more helpful to readers who may be
using screen reading software. We are able to offer the booklisting in
a different format to make your life a little easier. If you would
like a weekly version of this list please email news@pglaf.org, and
state which version you require.

3) Notes and Queries, Reviews and Features
Math and Poetry ? What a theme of plenty it is!
A wasteland for aimless wanderings and a huge space for speculation -
Science of emotions and harmony of numbers, mathematicians that wrote
poetry and poets that proved theorems. Besides a few interesting math
books were joining their poetic brothers on PG during the past few
weeks, and the thesis that math and poetry are at their best when
people are young and the their minds are still clean from the dust of
unnecessary information? So in order not to play the ambivalent donkey
of Buridan, I'll close my eyes and pick up a ticket from an old hat ?
Let me see what is written there:
The Moving Finger writes, and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.
Ah, Homer K.M as large as life, though. This brilliant combination of
inspired mathematician and poetic genius is certainly a good start
that serves well the cause. The blur of romance and mystery wraps
round his life in the Near East on the border between 11th and 12th
centuries A.D and our knowledge about it is based on the legends and
indirect evidence quite similar to the one of the Bard. His date of
birth is known precisely from his horoscope, that was deciphered by
his Indian admirer Swami Govinda Tirtha in 20th century A.D. The
profession of his father supposed to be a tent maker because the
literate translation of his name means such.
His closest school friends were the two other famous Persians, the
politician and reformist Nizam-Al-Mulk and Hassan Sabah the founder of
the ill-famous Assassin sect, the grandfather of nowadays
terrorists. He is well known now mostly by his amazing four line
poems, is an author of fundamental mathematical works most of them we
written before he turned even 25, including Problems of Arithmetic and
Treatise on Demonstration of Problems of Algebra, the book of math and
philosophy, ornamented in words with an oriental splendor - 'By the
help of God and with His precious assistance, I say that Algebra is a
scientific art'. May we see the times when its red and gold volume
will get dusty on the long shelves of PG library!
Let me skip the theory that there were two people with the same name
living at the same time - one poet and one philosopher and
mathematicians, since a) it is highly improbable and b) it is not
suitable for the theme of this piece. It is better to open a new
browser window and put in the address line
http://www.ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext95/rubai10.txt, to enjoy the
deep philosophical and extremely beautiful verses, born in the mind
that could structure the chaos in order to create the harmony. Liben
Damen und Herren, welcome great Ghiyath al-Din Abu'l-Fath Umar ibn Ibrahim Al-Nisaburi al-Khayyami -
And strange to tell, among that Earthen Lot
Some could articulate, while others not:
And suddenly one more impatient cried--
"Who is the Potter, pray, and who the Pot?"
P.S. There is another PG item with the Rubayat -
http://www.ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext04/rubwi10.txt , which claimed
to be written by Omar Khayyam's son - O.Kh. Junior. You should learn
probably the Persian and original Bornese in order to feel the
difference in the language, that the translator Wallace Irwin is
talking about.

For those of you who are trying to get some PR for Project Gutenberg,
the UPI said this week:
"These are momentous times in the digital content industry. . . .
"Project Gutenberg - the pioneering and largest depository of free,
mostly "plain-vanilla" (text only) e-books - added the 10,000-th
title to its unsurpassed collection. In the meantime, e-book
aggregators, such as blackmask.com, now proffer tens of thousands
of free titles for download in up to 8 file formats. Even Microsoft
has spent the last few months offering a free weekly selection of 3
commercial titles each, exclusively readable on its MS-Reader application."

Project Gutenberg is seeking graphics we can use for our Web
pages and publicity materials. If you have original graphics
depicting Project Gutenberg themes, please contribute them!

Project Gutenberg is seeking (volunteer) lawyers. We have
regular needs for intellectual property legal advice
(both US and international) and other areas. Please email
Project Gutenberg's CEO, Greg Newby <gbnewby AT pglaf.org> ,
if you can help.
*** Progress Report
[Disclaimer: We have several people and programs who count
up the Project Gutenberg eBooks and help create the statistics
we provide. Every once in a while these don't agree, and we
have numbers that slightly disagree, even as to the number of
weeks in a given year. . .for example, 2003 has 53 Wednesdays,
so we will have 53 Newsletters, and thus will count 53 weeks,
at least some of us will. . . . ;-) This week is unusual,
because we are in the process of reestablishing our databases
after reaching eBook #10,000 a few weeks ago, and the programs
are not yet back to running at full capacity. Thus, we have
had several mere mortals counting up the books and disagreeing
on how many there are. I counted 87, George counted 84, and
one day we didn't get any reports at all, so we could both be
somewhat off. Hopefully next week we will get back to normal.]
In the first 10.25 months of this year, we produced 3,570 new eBooks.
It took us from 1971 to 2000 to produce our first 3,570 eBooks!

DISTRIBUTED PROOFREADERS NEEDS CONTENT, PROOFERS AND SCANNER TYPES
Please contact us at:
dphelp@pgdp.net
if you would like to know more about the Distributed Proofreaders.
Thanks to very good recent publicity, the Distributed Proofreading
project has greatly accelerated its pace. Please visit the site:
http://www.pgdp.net
for more information about how you can help a lot, by
simply proofreading just a few pages per day, or more.
If you have a book that has been scanned, but not yet run
through OCR (optical character recognition) or proofed,
and you would like the Distributed Proofreaders to work on it,
please email dphelp@pgdp.net and we will get things started.
Also, DP is seeking public domain books not already in the
Project Gutenberg collection. To see what is already online,
visit http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/GUTINDEX.ALL (a text file),
since the online database doesn't reflect recent additions.
Do you have Public Domain books your would like to see in the archive?
Can they be destructively scanned? If so send them to the Distributed
Proofreading Team! Please email dphelp@pgdp.net with your geographic
location. You will be given the address of the nearest high-speed scanner
(note that the high-speed scanner requires destruction of the book(s) which
will not be returned). Alternatively, you can send your books directly to:
Charles Franks
9030 W. Sahara Ave. #195
Las Vegas, NV 89117
Please make sure that any books you send are _not_ already in the archive
and please check them against David's "In Progress" list at:
http://www.dprice48.freeserve.co.uk/GutIP.html
to ensure no one is currently working on them. It would also be helpful if
you obtain copyright clearance before mailing the books, and send the 'OK'
lines to
dphelp@pgdp.net
Do you like to work on an entire book at once but don't have the time
or technology to do the scanning, OCR, and initial proofing yourself?
Distributed Proofreaders has the perfect solution! Just send us email
telling us that you are interested in post-processing and we will help
find a you project you would like to work on.

*** Have We Given Away A Trillion Books/Dollars Yet???
Statistical Review
In the 45 weeks of this year, we have produced 3570 new eBooks.
It took us from 1971 to 2002 to produce our FIRST 3570 eBooks!!!
That's 45 WEEKS as Compared to ~31 YEARS!!!
With 10,313 eBooks online as of November 12, 2003 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $0.97 from each book,
for Project Gutenberg to have currently given away $1,000,000,000,000
[One Trillion Dollars] in books.
100,000,000 readers is only about 1.5% of the world's population!
This "cost" is down from about $1.59 when we had 6297 eBooks A Year Ago
Can you imagine 10,000 books each costing $.62 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine 10,000 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???
At 10,313 eBooks in 32 Years and 4.25 Months We Averaged
319 Per Year [We do more per than that month these days!]
27 Per Month
.87 Per Day
At 3,570 eBooks Done In The 315 Days Of 2003 We Averaged
11.3 Per Day
79.3 Per Week
348.3 Per Month
The production statistics are calculated based on full weeks'
production; each production-week starts/ends Wednesday noon,
starts with the first Wednesday of January. January 1st was
the first Wednesday of 2003, and thus ended PG's production
year of 2002 and began the production year of 2003 at noon.
This year there will be 53 Wednesdays, thus one extra week.

[PG Editor's Comments In Brackets]
From Newsscan:
FTC TAKES AIM AT MESSENGER POP-UPS
The Federal Trade Commission has obtained a temporary restraining order
against D Squared Solutions, accusing it of "high-tech extortion" for its
annoying marketing campaign, which bombards Microsoft Windows users with
pop-up ads touting its $29.95 pop-up blocker software designed to prevent
such intrusions. The company set out "to create a problem for consumers and
then try to charge them for a solution," said Howard Beales, head of the
FTC's consumer protection unit. The FTC is seeking to recoup "hundreds of
thousands" of dollars that beleaguered consumers paid to D Squared
Solutions for the ad-blocking software. The ads take advantage of a
security feature in Microsoft's Windows Messenger service that was
originally designed to enable corporate network administrators to send
internal messages. These messages are different from the ones imposed on
users who visit a Web site, said Beales. "What we are challenging is this
'backdoor' kind of advertising, particularly when it is done in a way and
with a frequency that threatens to impair consumers' ability to use their
computers." (Los Angeles Times 7 Nov 2003)

PENN STATE STUDENTS BLAST NAPSTER DEAL
Pennsylvania State University is catching flak for yesterday's announced
deal to provide all students with access to Napster's revamped
music-subscription service, paid for by the university's existing
information technology fees. The school had viewed the university-wide
arrangement as a way to circumvent the music download controversy and
provide students with a legal alternative, but some students say they
resent this use of their funds. "The money I pay could go to much better
things such as rebuilding the network or better lab equipment," says one
disgruntled student. "Almost every single student I have talked to is
outraged that their money is going to a program that they don't even want^E
(and that) their money is being sent to the music industry without their
consent." Penn State president Graham Spanier said he had not personally
received any complaints about the new deal and that students didn't protest
over cable TV service and newspaper subscriptions, which were also covered
by mandatory student fees. (CNet News.com 6 Nov 2003)

[Why Is It So Hard For MicroSoft NOT To Play MicroHardball???]
[And You Thought This Was Only About People Pointing Nasty Bugs]
OOPS! MICROSOFT DROPS THE BALL ON U.K. HOTMAIL DOMAIN
Microsoft apparently forgot to renew its registration for hotmail.co.uk,
sending the domain name back into the pool of available names. It was
snapped up immediately by a do-gooder, who then contacted Microsoft to
alert it to its oversight and arrange a transfer of ownership back to the
software giant. However, these efforts to do the right thing were rebuffed
and it was only when The Register contacted the company to inquire about
the snafu that the matter was "escalated" to upper-level officials who then
sought to work out a deal. By all accounts, hotmail.co.uk will be restored
to the Microsoft fold within the next few days. (The Register 6 Nov 2003)

PENN STATE TO OFFER FREE MUSIC TO STUDENTS FROM NEW NAPSTER
Pennsylvania State University has struck a deal with the recently
launched second-generation Napster to provide online music to all of
the university's students, faculty, and staff. The university
negotiated a discounted fee from Napster--which otherwise charges $9.95
per month--and will pay the cost of the service out of a mandatory,
$160 information technology fee that students pay each year. Penn State
users will be allowed to download unlimited numbers of songs on up to
three computers. Students who want to keep songs after they have left
Penn State, or users who want to save the songs to CDs, will have to
pay 99 cents per song. Officials and student leaders from Penn State
hope that this approach will appease student demand for online music
while satisfying record companies by using the now-legal Napster
service. Some students expressed reservations that a portion of student
technology fees is being used for online music. Students also said that
the restrictions of the new Napster/Penn State deal will encourage some
to continue using peer-to-peer networks that have no restrictions.

FTC FIGHTS WINDOWS POP-UPS
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) this week shut down a marketer for
taking advantage of a feature of Microsoft Windows to send unwanted
pop-up ads, even to users who were not browsing the Internet. According
to the FTC, D Squared Solutions used a tool called the Windows
Messenger Service--which is enabled by default in Windows systems--to
send pop-up ads selling software to block pop-up ads. Calling such a
tactic extortion, the FTC has temporarily shut down D Squared. The
agency also advised users to disable Windows Messenger, which is not
related to instant-messaging programs. Last month Microsoft recommended
that users disable Windows Messenger as a precaution against the spread
of Internet viruses. Microsoft's Sean Sundwall said the pop-up ads
that take advantage of Windows Messenger do not pose any threat to a
system's security.

Headline News Mostly Avoided By The Major U.S. Media
The Grocery Store Employees Union strike and lockout
in California isn't getting much coverage, but the
last time something like this happened, it was with
the Meat Cutters Union. That event finished up ~10
years ago with a total drop in meat cutters' pay of
30% during a period in which inflation and the cost
of living rose ~10%, leaving the meat cutters with
just over 50% of their original buying power from
The current event has been sparked by fear of the
proposed Wal-Mart expansion that is scheduled to
build some 40 new Wal-Mart Super Centers in the
affected area, which includes 850 grocery stores
that are currently on strike or in lockouts.

Obviously the media DID report on that major high school
drug bust in which a dozen students were handcuffed as
the police ran up and down the halls with guns drawn,
at the request of the school principal.
Amazingly enough, not one single illegal drug was found,
even with the aid of the famous drug sniffing K-9 corps,
nor were any guns found. . .the two stated objectives.
Not even one pill was found from a parent's prescription,
given illegally by a parent to a student for allergies,
or anything else that a parent might give them what was
in a student's legitimate interest, but techinally illegal.
Not even any Viagra was turned up. [Don't forget the grade
school kid who was kicked out of school for bringing some
just a few days earlier.]
People are asking if a similar surprise bust of school staff
and the police station would have come up so empty handed.

There Oughta Be A Law. . . .
From personal experience I have the following news report:
In trying to buy my tickets to the upcoming December 10 PG
events, I ended up getting tickets from Orbis that had never
even appeared on the screen. I could see some kind of error
that might have gotten me tickets I had on the screen earlier,
but these were for some other flight than had appeared. They
were to the right places, but at the wrong times. I called up
their 800 number immediately, and was told there would be some
serious fees for cancellation, but I managed to get the flights
cancelled without these fees by insisting that I had called in
only a few minutes after the fact. However, they said they are
going to keep my $800 for 3-4 billing periods on my Visa card.
At the normal Visa rate of 18%, that would be around ~$50.
They just wrote themselves a loan of my $800 for 3-4 months.
There Oughta Be A Law Against This:
Anyone want to inquire with the Federal Trade Commission
or whoever oversees this sort of thing?
They can take your $800 in one second, but it takes 3-4 months
to give it back, even if you call immediately.

Low Cost Jobs Are Filled Outside The U.S. Via "Outsourcing,"
While High Cost Prescriptions Must Be Filled Inside the U.S.
The U.S. goverment encourages your employers to send your jobs
to other countries, but won't allow you fill prescriptions in
other countries. . .insuring ever decreasing big business costs
by cutting hiring inside the U.S., and insuring ever increasing
business big business profits by insisting you pay twice as much

The Project Gutenberg Weekly Newsletter 12th November 2003
eBooks Readable By Both Humans and Computers For Since 1971
New Project Gutenberg Documents
----------------------------------------------------------------------
-=] ANNOUNCING A MAJOR CHANGE [=-
With the posting of eBook #10001 in November of 2003, a major change in
eBook filenaming was instituted. Prior to that, Project Gutenberg eBooks
were assigned unique base filenames, usually 5 characters; each of those
files also has a version number, and are arranged by the year they were
released.
Beginning with #10001, the eBook number is also being used as the base
filename. For example, the plain text version of #10010 will have the
filename 10010.txt; the HTML version would have the filename 10010-h.htm.
Also, with new-style postings, each eBook is posted in a subdirectory based
on the same number as the eBook number; all of the available formats of each
eBook will be accessible in that subdirectory. eBook #10010 will be in
/1/0/0/1/10010/. More on this below.
At the present time, the full URL for the test version of #10010 at our main
PG download site is:
http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/1/0/0/1/10010/10010.txt
For the zip of that text:
http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/1/0/0/1/10010/10010.zip
To download that zip file via ftp from the main PG download site:
ftp://ibilio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/1/0/0/1/10010.zip
Usually, however, the easiest way to obtain Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks is
to start at the main PG search facility:
http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/find.shtml
There, you can find eBooks by Title or Author; there is also an advanced
search facility, where you may be able to find eBooks based on subject, or
for a particular language. The main PG database sometimes does not include
more recent additions, so direct access to the files for downloading is also
available.
As these processes and procedures are refined over the coming weeks, we will
keep you updated.
--INSTANT ACCESS TO EBOOKS NUMBERED GREATER THAN 10000
eBooks posted since November 2003, with eBooks numbered greater than #10000,
are filed in a different way. (Note: The year of release date is no longer
part of the directory path.) Both the filename and directory path are based on
the eBook number. For example, the text format of eBook #10010 would be named
10010.txt.
The path is also based on the etext number, and is made up of single digits
corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename. So, if you know
the number, you know exactly where to find the eBook!
The path for our example, 10010.txt, would be /1/0/0/1/10010/. Of course,
the address of the download site would have to be prepended to the path;
if the main PG site was being used, the full URL, including the filename,
would be:
http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/1/0/0/1/10010/10010.txt
The zip file of the above would be:
http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/1/0/0/1/10010/10010.zip
Using the ftp site at iBiblio to obtain the zip:
ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/1/0/0/1/10010/10010.zip
And you can see all the available files for #10010 at
http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/1/0/0/1/10010
Corrected EDITIONS of these eBooks replace the old file and are then given the
original filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed and
archived.
New VERSIONS are based on different sources, and are treated as new eBooks,
to which are assigned new filenames and etext numbers.
File formats other than plain text will have a format-designator appended to
the filename, as well as an appropriate file extension. The following list
indicates the most common formats likely to be found at Project Gutenberg:
Plain text 12345.txt 12345.zip
8-bit text 12345-8.txt 12345-8.zip
(Includes: ISO-8859-1, CP-1252, MacRoman)
Big-5 12345-5.txt 12345-5.zip
Unicode 12345-0.txt 12345-0.zip
HTML 12345-h.htm 12345-h.zip

MS Word Doc 12345-doc.doc 12345-doc.zip

To get to a directory listing you can use either:
http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/1/
- or -
ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/1/
. . .navigate down through the subdirectories until you get to the appropriate
level, and then select the file you wish to download, using your normal
download procedures.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED 1 THROUGH 10000:
Use your Web browser or FTP program to visit our master download site (or
a mirror) if you know the filename and year you want. For example:
http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext06
- or -
ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext06
and look for the first five letters of the filesname. Note that updated
eBooks usually go in their original directory (e.g., etext99, etext00, etc.)
