*Headline News from Edupage
[PG Editor's Comments In Brackets]
NEGROPONTE LEAVES MEDIA LAB
Nicholas Negroponte will step down from the chairmanship of MIT's
Media Lab, which he cofounded in 1985, to pursue his project of
supplying $100 laptops to developing countries. The United Nations has
endorsed the plan, which Negroponte says will be a boon to education
and development in the world's poorest nations. Negroponte has set up
a nonprofit called One Laptop Per Child to develop the laptop and work
for its implementation. In addition to Negroponte's departure, Walter
Bender, director of the Media Lab, will take a two-year leave of
absence to participate in the One Laptop Per Child program as president
for software and content development. Replacing Bender at the lab will
be Frank Moss, an entrepreneur who founded Tivoli Systems and
Bowstreet, which were bought by IBM. In a statement, MIT President
Susan Hockfield expressed her support for Moss, saying that his
experience and interests are a good match for the goals of the Media Lab.

GOOGLE TO PROVIDE E-MAIL TO COLLEGE
[Will they still keep copies of all the email, and analyze them?]
Google will provide e-mail service for students of San Jose City
College under a new agreement just announced. The college, which is
part of the San Jose/Evergreen Community College District, has about
10,000 students, some of whom remain students for years while others
only stay for one semester, according to Michael John Renzi, director
of finance and administration. "It's quite daunting to administer
10,000 accounts when they come and go," Renzi said. Under the new deal,
Google will provide accounts and storage for students through its Gmail
service, though the addresses for those accounts will use the school's
domain, sjcc.edu. Faculty and staff will continue to use e-mail service
provided by the institution. The arrangement is similar to those
Microsoft has through its Hotmail University program. Google is
soliciting other colleges and universities to participate in its e-mail
offering.

News From Other Sources Than The Usual:
Syracuse PBS stantion WCNY "membership drives" are the major
source of complaints from their audience these days, so they
are looking into producing programs as a source of income,
since they have alienated so many of their former membership
to the point where they worry that they are entering a spiral
of ever increasing pledge drives with ever decreasing results.

Dead Man In Car Receives Three Tickets And Tow Away Sticker
"To Serve And Protect:" But who was there to help the man
in the back seat of an illegally parked Mercedes in Peoria?
Not too many details are available, but Decatur resident
Michael Hudson, reported missing two weeks ago, was left
to rot in his expensive coffin-on-wheels near the Peoria
Methodist Medical Center long enough to have been cited
three different times for the parking violation and then
a fourth time with a tow-away sticker.
Eventually someone just walking past the car notified the
authorities that there was someone in the back seat with
a foot up against the passenger window.
The ticket writer[s] remained anonymous.
[I guess there are worse places to be abandoned than in
back seat of a black Mercedes-Benz in Peoria, Illinois.]
*HEADLINE NEWS AVOIDED BY MOST OF THE MAJOR U.S. MEDIA
[As requested adding sources, etc., when possible.
Remember, the subject is not the article's subject,
the subject is the manipulation of the world news.]

"The Great Firewall of China" [Google/Yahoo censorship]
but you can find quite a bit at:
www.resourceshelf.com/2006/02/prepared-statements-from-google-yahoo.html

Also not going to go into depth on Katrina
but you can find quite a bit at:
A Failure of Initiative: The Final Report of the Select Bipartisan Committee
to Investigate the Preparation for and Response to Hurricane Katrina

*DOUBLESPEAK OF THE WEEK
Los Angeles condemned a local furniture business via eminent domain
and paid $6,000,000 and is now offering it to yet another furniture
business for perhaps as low as $3,000,000, but certainly low enough
that the city will lose a minumum of $1,000,000 up to $3,000,000.
LA Public Safety Committee members are fighting about this option.
The committee chair, Jack Weiss says, "It's a multimillion-dollar
switcheroo for no reason at all. "The city could have saved millions
of dollars and it wouldn't have condemned an existing business."
Meanwhile, Councilman Parks, who has received contributions from
the potential buyers, is pushing for the sale, basing arguements
on the fact that the new owners will pay more in taxes than the
once proposed animal shelter that was ostensibly the cause for the
original eminent domain action.
[You force a furniture company out of business for animal shelters?
Really, who care about the location of an animal shelter. Of course
there have been other examples of forcing perfectly healthy business
and personal properties to be sold via eminent domain in Cleveland,
New Haven, and other locations, just to create higher tax brackets
for property taxes. "Sorry, you'll have to sell, so we can move in
someone with so much more money that they will build expensively and
then pay us more in property taxes."]
*STRANGE QUOTES OF THE WEEK
Can't quote exactly, but court documents were unsealed that report
more about Scooter Libby's relationship to Vice President Cheney in
terms of the leaking of classified information. Cheney appears to
be claiming he and President Bush have the Executive Authority to
"declassify" information at will, and thus can't be charged with
leaking classified information about Valerie Plame and/or the
manufacture of "classified" information to invade Iraq.
[Sorry, I can't find direct quotes, but you can probably find
some in later searches. Try "Coos Bay World" "Pittsburgh Post
Gazette" Telegraph.co.uk, etc.] "Albuquerque Tribune"
"International Herald Tribune" and The Associated Press.
*PREDICTIONS OF THE WEEK
Olympics Coverage Will Have To Change
Given that NBC paid $3.5 Billion to cover the Olympics from
the 2000 summer Olympics to the 2008 summer games, and not
counting how much they spent on actual production, shows,
or on broadcasting/narrowcasting, it is pretty obvious that
things will have to change as ABC *stomped them flat* in a
crucial ratings period with twice as many people watching
Desperate Housewives and American Idol.
By the way, CBS paid $50,000 to cover the 1960 Squaw Valley
Winter Olympics, and spent and additional $450,000 on their
shows and broadcasting, including Walter Cronkite as anchor.
If you presume NBC is running at the same ratio of 10:1
for internal costs to how much paid to the Olympics,
that means their total costs are $35 billion for those
Olympics mentioned above.
However, given their low ratings, at least for broadcast,
they are going to have to either come up with some changes
or let someone else outbid them next time around.
[Personal note: I have seen similar competitions on TV
in Europe and they showed every minute of every skater,
from the worst to the best, and without nearly as many
commercials or as much yadda-yadda-yadda.]
*ODD STATISTICS OF THE WEEK
The largest currency bills in the United States were printed
when there was no money during the Great Depression.
$100,000
There were much larger bills printed in other countries that
suffered hyperinflation, and you can buy German postage stamps
from that era for hundreds of millions of marks, but inflation
in the U.S. was very small, sometime even 0% or negative.
1940 2.3626%
1939 -1.5485%
1938 -1.5313%
1937 3.9665%
1936 0.0000%
1935 3.2815%
1934 8.9329%
1933 -2.6092%
1932 -11.5405%
1931 -8.4521%
1930 -2.7364%
1929 0.0000%
[I wonder if this was due to requests from the extremely rich
to make their money more portable if they left the country?]
[A little research says that banks actually used them to send
money to each other, with various discrepancies about dates
that say they were only printed for a few weeks in 1934 to
dates that run past World War II to 1946. Apparenty wars
have some bearing on this also, as paper money was created
in the U.S. during the Civil War, by both sides, in larger
denominations than are available today, up to $10,000 [1865].
Different larger bills were introduced again in 1929.
$500 William McKinley
$5,000 James Madison
$10,000 Salmon P. Chase
$100,000 Woodrow Wilson
Today large bills have been mostly taken out of circulation
in an effort to make it more difficult for drug dealers and
other criminals and ne'er-do-wells via executive order from
President Richard Nixon in 1969, his first year in office--
he later took the U.S. off the $35 per ounce gold standard,
which precipitated the inflationary spiral that followed to
President Ronald Reagan. [article on inflation available]

By the way, for those interested, the official U.S. population
estimates just passed 298 million, though many say estimations
of this nature leave out as much as 5% of the population.
Still hoping for more statistical updates and additional entries.
[This one is getting a little out of date, as the US population
is obviously no longer 6% of the world. In fact, rounding to the
nearest percent, the US will soon fall from 5% to 4%.]
"If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely
100 people, with all the existing human ratios remaining the same,
it would look something like the following. There would be:
57 Asians
21 Europeans
14 from the Western Hemisphere, both North and South America
8 Africans
52 would be female
48 would be male
70 would be non-white
30 would be white
70 would be non-Christian
30 would be Christian
6 people would possess 59% of the entire world's wealth
and all 6 would be from the United States
80 would live in substandard housing
70 would be unable to read
50 would suffer from malnutrition
1 would be near death; 1 would be near birth
1 (yes, only 1) would have a college education
1 would own a computer [I think this is now much greater]
1 would be 79 years old or more.
Of those born today, the life expectancy is only 63 years,
but no country any longer issues copyrights that are sure
to expire within that 63 year period.
I would like to bring some of these figures more up to date,
as obviously if only 1% of 6 billion people owned a computer
then there would be only 60 million people in the world who
owned a computer, yet we hear that 3/4 + of the United States
households have computers, out of over 100 million households.
Thus obviously that is over 1% of the world population, just in
the United States.
I just called our local reference librarian and got the number
of US households from the 2004-5 U.S. Statistical Abstract at:
111,278,000 as per data from 2003 U.S Census Bureau reports.
If we presume the saturation level of U.S. computer households
is now around 6/7, or 86%, that is a total of 95.4 million,
and that's counting just one computer per household, and not
counting households with more than one, schools, businesses, etc.
I also found some figures that might challenge the literacy rate
given above, and would like some help researching these and other
such figures, if anyone is interested.
BTW, while I was doing this research, I came across a statistic
that said only 10% of the world's population is 60+ years old.
This means that basically 90% of the world's population would
never benefit from Social Security, even if the wealthy nations
offered it to them free of charge. Then I realized that the US
population has the same kind of age disparity, in which the rich
live so much longer than the poor, the whites live so much longer
than the non-whites. Thus Social Security is paid by all, but is
distributed more to the upper class whites, not just because they
can receive more per year, but because they will live more years
to receive Social Security. The average poor non-white may never
receive a dime of Social Security, no matter how much they pay in.

If we presume 2 out of 3 of these files are overcounts,
that leaves a unique book total of

Please also note that over 25,000 eBooks are listed via
The Online Books Page, of which over 5,700 are from PG.
http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/
In addition: The Internet Public Library had a similar
listing which is now in limbo. If anyone knows what is
happening with the IPL, please let us know. Inquiries,
made months ago, and again recently, have not turned up
any current information.
You can try a new IPL service at:
http://www.ipl.org/div/subject/browse/hum60.60.00/
It would appear that The Internet Public Library ended
its first incarnation with about 22,284 entries, which
has now been surpassed by the Online Books Page.
Still looking for more Internet Public Library info.

*** Permanent Requests For Assistance:
DISTRIBUTED PROOFREADERS NEEDS CONTENT, PROOFERS AND SCANNER TYPES
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)
listing Project Gutenberg eBooks and is available for downloading.
Do you have Public Domain books you 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.] We have high-speed scanners currently located in
the east, west and central portions of the US to make shipping easier.
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 project you would like to work on.
Please contact us at:
dphelp@pgdp.net
if you would like to know more about the Distributed Proofreaders.

Have We Given Away A Trillion Books/Dollars Yet?
If our average eBook has reached just 1% of the world population of
6,499,127,318 that would be 18,720 x 64,991,273 = ~1.22 Trillion !!!
For those of you who keep track of such things, it is somewhat likely
that the world population will pass 6.5 billion while I am gone and a
bit less likely that the US population will pass 300 million.
With 18,720 eBooks online as of February 22, 2006 it now takes an average
of ~1% of the world gaining a nominal value of ~$.82 from each book.
[1% world population x #eBooks] 64,978,989 x 18,717 x $.82 = ~$1 Trillion
[Google "world population" "popclock" to get the most current figures.]
*
A Trillion Dollars Given Away At Just $.53 Value Per Book To 100 Million
With 18,720 eBooks online as of February 22, 2006 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $0.53 from each book.
This "cost" is down from about $.64 when we had 15,530 eBooks a year ago.
Our Target Audience Is 1.5% Of The World Population = ~100,000,000 people.
At 18,720 eBooks in 34 Years and 07.75 Months We Averaged
540 Per Year
45.0 Per Month
1.48 Per Day
At 578 eBooks Done In The 049 Days Of 2006 We Averaged
11.8 Per Day
82 Per Week
328 Per Month
If you are interested in the population of the world or of the U.S.
you might want to know that these numbers, official as they appear,
are just just estimates, and perhaps not as accurate as we hope.
However, for those keeping track of how quickly the U.S. reaches a
300 million population level, and who noticed the passing of 298M,
just two weeks ago. . .the U.S. is already 1/6 the way to 299M, so
it will probably be 10 more weeks to 299M and 22 more to 300M.
Recently the U.S. Congress, pertaining to district reapportionment,
who gets to vote for which Congresspeople, decided that many of the
districts were undercounted by 5%, perhaps then later deciding that
all districts had been undercounted by 5% [can't recall details].
*
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 4th was
the first Wednesday of 2006, and thus ended PG's production
year of 2005 and began the production year of 2006 at noon.
This year there will be 52 Wednesdays, thus no extra week.

number). This process includes some file maintenance (repairing,
correcting and re-formatting to current PG standards where practicable).

criteria). And please note: you can now obtain a listing by language

If you prefer to download eBooks via other methods than from the search

Please note that the Project Gutenberg Production Team continues the
process of manually re-posting those eBooks originally posted prior to
Nov 2003 to the new filenaming and directory system (based on the eBook

correcting and re-formatting to current PG standards where practicable).
