.:: 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, author or eBook number; there is also
an Advanced Search page which allows for additional search criteria
(note that our newer postings may not yet be indexed for all additional
criteria). And please note: you can now obtain a listing by language
at the above link.
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, visit:
http://gutenberg.net/list.shtml
If you prefer to download eBooks via other methods than from the search
page, and need additional information, please refer to the file
GUTINDEX.ALL, available for viewing or downloading at:
http://www.gutenberg.net/GUTINDEX.ALL
That file contains descriptions and explanations about the filenaming
process, directory structure, file formats, and more.
And to directly access the file directories:
http://gutenberg.net/dirs/
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
number). This process includes some file maintenance (repairing,
correcting and re-formatting to current PG standards where practicable).
These re-postings are noted in the "corrections" listings below. More
information can be found in the file GUTINDEX.ALL mentioned above.

[ This Week's Other Stuff ]
=============================================================================
>From David Price, about #14354, Gwaith Samuel Roberts, by Samuel Roberts:
For those interested: Samuel Roberts (known as S.R.) was born in 1800 in
the Welsh village of Llanbryn-mair. A radical, he had great influence in
Wales through his journal Y Cronicl. Denouncing slavery, the Crimean
war, he advocated votes for women, universal suffrage and the building of
railways(!) Frustated with the political oppression he encountered from
vested interests in Wales he emigrated to Tennessee in 1857 - with others
from his village. Their new life gradually fell apart (they were a long
way from other Welsh-speakers in America, were duped etc.). Eventually
Samuel had to return to Wales, to be met with scorn and ridicule. He
died in 1885.
His literary output was vast and this selection from his works includes
some of his poetry and his political tale of "Farmer Careful" (and his
encounters with Lord Protection etc).
The book is in Welsh.
~ ~ ~
David Widger forwards the following note about #14358, A Little Book of
Filipino Riddles:
Note from submitter: This includes material in English (main), and the
following Philippine languages (iso 639 code): Tagalog (tl), Bikol (bik),
Hiligaynon (hil), Ilokano, (ilo), Pangasinan (pag), Kapampangan (pam),
and Gaddang (no ISO 639 code, gad in SIL ethnologue). Hiligaynon is
confusingly identified as Bisayan, which can mean any of the several
languages spoken in the Visayas, and is more commonly known as Ilonggo.
~ ~ ~
Joe Loewenstein sends along the following about #14305, Brut:
Layamon was an early Middle English poet (pre-Chaucer). This work is part
of his chronicle of English history written about 1200.
~ ~ ~
Confidence is the feeling you have before you understand the situation.

HEADLINE NEWS!!!
AUSTRALIAN PARLIAMENT CHOOSES TO CHANGE COPYRIGHT RULES
[Depite a resolution passed to the contrary three years ago. . . .
This is what is known as "economic warfare," and, as in warfare
in general, it is the public who loses the most.]
The final element of the Australia-US Free Trade Agreement (FTA)
has passed through the Australian federal parliament.
Copyright changes in last-minute talks are designed to:
1.
Enable people other than copyright owners to force ISPs
to remove materials allegedly infringing copyright.
2.
Take effect on January 1, 2005.
3.
Extended Australian copyright 20 years to now
reach 70 years past the lifespan of the author.

On the other hand, Project Gutenberg is getting great PR from:
THE DA VINCI CODE
"For their generous assistance in the research of the book, I would
like to acknowledge the Louvre Museum, the French Ministry of Culture,
Project Gutenberg, Bibliothe`que Nationale, the Gnostic Society Library,
the Department of Paintings Study and Documentation Service at the Louvre,
Catholic World News, Royal Observatory Greenwich, London Record Society,
the Muniment Collection at Westminster Abbey, John Pike and the Federation
of American Scientists, and the five members of Opus Dei (three active,
two former) who recounted their stories, both positive and negative,
regarding their experiences inside Opus Dei."

eMusic
In our efforts to further the digitization of sheet music, Project
Gutenberg also recommends the Mutopia Project. The following was
contributed by the project team leader, Chris Sawer:
"The Mutopia project consists of a growing online collection of sheet
music, all of which may be freely downloaded, printed, copied,
distributed, modified, performed and recorded. It has just celebrated
its fifth year online, and now has nearly 500 works, ranging from
simple pieces for solo instruments, to large orchestral pieces and even
an entire opera. Composers from Bach to Vivaldi are featured, along
with some early jazz, and some modern pieces which have been released
under a free license by their composers. Visit our website to see what
we've got - and maybe contribute some music yourself!"

With 14,707 eBooks online as of December 15, 2004 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $0.68 from each book,
for Project Gutenberg to have currently given away $1,000,000,000,000
[One Trillion Dollars] in books.
100 million readers is only ~1.5% of the world's population!
This "cost" is down from about $.94 when we had 10,069 eBooks a year ago
Can you imagine ~14,707 books each costing ~$.26 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine ~14,707 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???
At 14,707 eBooks in 33 Years and 05.40 Months We Averaged
440 Per Year [We do about 3/4 that much per month these days!]
36.6 Per Month
1.20 Per Day
At 3800 eBooks Done In The 343 Days Of 2004 We Averaged
11 Per Day
78 Per Week
340 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 7th was
the first Wednesday of 2004, and thus ended PG's production
year of 2003 and began the production year of 2004 at noon.
This year there will be 52 Wednesdays, thus no extra week.

*Headline News from NewsScan and Edupage
[PG Editor's Comments In Brackets]
>From NewsScan:
GOOGLE CUTS DEAL WITH LIBRARIES TO DIGITIZE HOLDINGS
Flush with new wealth after its IPO last summer, Google has offered
to underwrite the cost of digitizing library collections at Harvard,
Stanford, Oxford, the University of Michigan and the New York Public
Library. Although company executives declined to comment on the total
funding amount, one estimate pegs it at $10 for each of the more than 15
million books and other documents covered in the agreement. The
announcement comes as a number of other library digitization projects are
underway, including one at the Library of Congress to put selections of its
best holdings online and one at the University of California to create the
California Digital Library. In addition, the Library of Congress and a
group of international libraries from the U.S., Canada, Egypt, China and
the Netherlands say they're planning to create a publicly available digital
archive of one million books on the Internet. The trend toward online
libraries and virtual card catalogs has publishers scrambling to respond
and libraries rethinking their central mission as storehouses of printed,
indexed material. "Our world is about to change in a big, big way," says
Daniel Greenstein, university librarian for the California Digital Library.
Instead of devoting time and effort to maintaining physical collections,
libraries in the future can focus on gathering information and making it
accessible online. (New York Times 14 Dec 2004)
<http://www.nytimes.com/2004/12/14/technology/14google.html>
CONCERNS ABOUT GOOGLE'S ONLINE READING ROOM
Google's new plan to digitize the collections of leading research
libraries to establish a massive online reading room causes some librarians
to fear the commercialization of their institutions. Duane Webster,
executive director of the Association of Research Libraries, explains,
"There is anxiety about whether the student researcher, scholar or citizen
will be guided into the free public access rather than being lured into a
purchasing relationship with the publisher." Webster suggests that to allay
those fears, free, open access must remain an option. However, he also makes
clear that the greater good of expanding the public's access to resources
outweighs the eventual possibility that ads would be attached to library
materials. Brewster Kahle, founder and president of the Internet Archive,
comments: "The public domain belongs to the public and should be publicly
accessible without running only into commercial interests. There's room for
both, and I hope that we do not evolve into an either-or situation." (AP/San
Jose Mercury News 15 Dec 2004)

MOBILE PHONES TO OUTNUMBER LAND LINES
Cell phones are expected to generate more revenue this year than
traditional land line phones in Africa, Asia and Latin America, according
to a new report by the International Telecommunication Union. Just four
years ago, fixed-line phone revenue was nearly double that of wireless, but
mobile phone use is growing rapidly, especially in developing countries
where wireless networks are much cheaper to install than traditional
terrestrial ones. "Virtually all the global growth in the telecoms service
sector over the last decade has come from the mobile sector, broadband and
other data services," says Susan Schorr, one of the authors of the study.
"Taken together, the value of mobile and other non-voice services is now
greater than that of the traditional fixed-line telephone service, which
had been the mainstay of public telecommunication operators since the late
19th century." Since 2000, four-fifths of all growth in mobile phone sales
took place in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the former Soviet Union. "The
developing world is where most of the potential for future growth
resides," says Schorr, who adds that broadband is catching on in those
countries as well, with China expected to overtake the U.S. this year as
the world's biggest broadband market. (AP 10 Dec 2004)

U.S. AND TIME WARNER: LET'S SETTLE UP
[AOL Finally Bites The Bullet]
Time Warner has agreed to settle with the government in two separate
cases: the Justice Department's investigation of whether AOL's advertising
deals with smaller Internet companies were used to exaggerate AOL growth,
and the SEC's investigation into accounting irregularities at the company.
Time Warner is expected to pay $500-600 million to settle all civil and
criminal accusations with the two agencies. (New York Times 15 Dec 2004)

DISSIN' CHINA
[Not all news coming out of China is positive]
Law enforcement authorities in China have banned the new British
computer game "Football Manager 2005" because it refers to Taiwan as a
separate country, contrary to the mainland government's insistence that
Taiwan belongs to China. The government is searching for the game online and
in computer software markets, cybercafes, and places that sell pirated
software. A spokesman for the game's developer, Sports Interactive, says
it's working on a Chinese version for release in China that will comply with
local requirements: "We will follow the correct submission and approval
process within China and look forward to feedback from the Chinese
authorities on any modifications that may be required." Last week China also
banned a Nike television commercial it says is disrespectful and blasphemous
toward Chinese culture. The ad features NBA star LeBron James in a mock
video with a kung fu master, two women in traditional Chinese attire, and a
pair of dragons. (AP/9 Nov 2004)

IT'S OFFICIAL: IBM STRIKES DEAL TO SELL PC DIVISION
[IBM goes back to being monolithic, leaves PC world for Big Business]
[N.B. the price is 1/8 as much as Oracle paid for PeopleSoft!]
IBM is selling its PC business to Chinese computer giant Lenovo Group
for $1.25 billion in cash and stock. As part of the deal, IBM will own an
18.9% stake in Lenovo, which will be allowed to use the IBM brand for five
years, as well as other trademarks on PCs and notebook computers. The sale
vaults Lenovo to a solid No. 3 slot in the global PC market, behind Dell
and Hewlett-Packard. In a message to IBM workers, chairman Sam Palmisano
(who once headed the PC business) said the move was part of the company's
strategy to focus on making products for large government and industry
customers. "The PC business is rapidly taking on characteristics of the
home and consumer electronic industry, which favors economies of scale,
pricing power and a focus on individual users and buyers," wrote Palmisano.

MICROSOFT UNVEILS DESKTOP SEARCH TOOL
Hot on the heels of Google's Desktop Search launch two months ago,
Microsoft has rolled out its competing MSN Toolbar Suite that enables users
to search for keywords in a variety of types of files, from e-mails to
instant messages to PDFs. Google's Desktop Search does not support searches
in PDF files but, unlike MSN Toolbar, it does record all Web pages visited.
Both products are still in beta stage, but meanwhile the competition is
heating up with Yahoo's announcement last week that it will launch a
desktop search product in January, and AOL's plans to join the fray
sometime early next year. (AP 13 Dec 2004)

PENN STATE URGES MOVING FROM IE
Officials in the Information Technology Services department at
Pennsylvania State University have sent a notice to students suggesting
that they switch to a browser other than Internet Explorer (IE) to
increase the security of their computers. Recent reports in the media
about IE vulnerabilities, as well as warnings from the Computer
Emergency and Response Team at Carnegie Mellon University, prompted
Penn State's recommendation that students look at browsers including
Firefox, Safari, and Opera. A spokesperson for the university said,
"We're not telling people to wipe off IE, because you need IE to do
operating-system updates." As part of a two-month campaign to increase
computer security across campus, however, the university is urging
students to examine other browsers and to consider the benefits they
might provide for increased protection from malicious code. Also
included in the security campaign are reminders for students to install
firewalls and antivirus software, to keep those applications updated,
and to install operating-system updates regularly.

IPOD REQUIREMENT IN SECONDARY SCHOOL
The Brearley School, a private girls' school in New York, has
instituted an iPod requirement for about 300 students in grades 7
through 12. Some higher education institutions have similar
requirements, including Duke University and Georgia College and State
University, but this is reportedly the first such program at the
secondary level. Students at Brearley will use the devices primarily
for foreign languages and classics. Students can use their iPods to
keep audio diaries, practice speaking foreign languages, and download
and listen to lessons and other course content. Although the
educational value of the technology remains an unknown quantity,
teachers at Brearley noted that the "wow" factor of the iPods for
teenage girls would likely benefit the initiative. At Duke, which
issued iPods to 1,650 incoming freshmen this fall, the devices are also
used in foreign language classes, among others. Lisa Merschel, who
teaches Spanish at Duke, said she does not "necessarily see a
correlation between using the iPod and an increased fluency in the
language." Still, said Merschel, the iPods "helped me to see how [the
students] were progressing as a class."

IBM SELLS PC UNIT TO CHINESE COMPANY
Following news reports (see Edupage, December 3) on the possibility,
IBM has agreed to sell its personal computer unit to China's largest
PC maker, Lenovo, for $1.75 billion in cash, stock, and debt. IBM will
assume a 18.9 percent stake in Lenovo. The IBM PC business will
continue to be run by its current management team and be based in the
United States. Although based in Beijing, Lenovo plans to establish
headquarters in New York. IBM will continue to handle technical
support, financing, and warranty coverage for its former PC division.

PEOPLESOFT BOARD APPROVES SALE TO ORACLE
After 18 months of wrangling, legal actions, and regulatory review, the
PeopleSoft Board of Directors has approved a buyout offer from Oracle.
The deal is valued at about $10.3 billion, or $26.50 per share, despite
Oracle's insistence that $24 per share was its best offer. The higher
price came after Oracle executives gained access to PeopleSoft's
financial statements and determined the target company was more
profitable than Oracle's earlier estimates. Oracle has promised strong
support for current PeopleSoft customers, as well as those of J.D.
Edwards, which PeopleSoft acquired during the takeover efforts by
Oracle. Oracle CEO Larry Ellison said development teams from both
PeopleSoft and J.D. Edwards would be retained and would operate
independently. Ellison said updates to applications from both companies
would be developed in the next year or two. Pending legal action over
the merger will be suspended until the transaction is completed, at
which point litigation will be dismissed. The deal is expected to close
at the end of January.

SPACE STATION CREW ENDURES FOOD SHORTAGE
[You spend billions on space programs,
but no one counts how many sandwiches?]
from Houston Chronicle
A food shortage on the international space station means its two crew
members must eat less until a Russian supply capsule arrives Christmas
Day, NASA officials said Thursday.
Supplies are so low that if the usually reliable Progress spacecraft missed
its delivery, American Leroy Chiao and Russian Salizhan Sharipov would be
ordered back to Earth by mid-January, halfway through their six-month mission.
"This Progress is critical, there is no question about that," NASA space
station program manager Bill Gersteinmaier said Thursday.

*Headline News Avoided By Most Of The Major U.S. Media
Elderly and Retired Being Called Up To Active Military In Middle East
Some of you heard about the 55 year old woman called up by the army,
but that has now been eclipsed by at least 100 over the age of 60,
and at least one 70 year old has been called up to Afganistan.
"My first reaction was disbelief," the Florida retiree said.
"It never occurred to me that they would call a 70-year-old."
The Department of Defense would not provide exact figures as
to how many senior citizens had been called up.
REPORT CONCLUDES LINUX HAS FEWER FLAWS [From Newsscan]
A four-year research effort by code-analysis firm Coverity has
concluded that Linux has significantly fewer software bugs in it than most
commercial counterparts. Coverity uncovered 985 flaws in the 5.7 million
lines of code that make up the Linux core operating system, compared with
the more than 5,000 defects typically found in commercial software of
similar size. "Linux is a very good system in terms of bug density," says
Coverity CEO Seth Hallem. Though Coverity's report doesn't contain any
specific data about the frequency of glitches in Microsoft's Windows
operating system, it's likely to add fuel to the debate over which system
-- Linux, Mac OS or Windows -- is most secure. One recent report found that
Red Hat Linux contained fewer critical flaws than Microsoft Windows, while
a Forrester Research study (sponsored by Microsoft) unsurprisingly favored
Microsoft. (CNet News.com 13 Dec 2004)

[Since I used to live in San Francisco, this jumped out at me]
TREMORS ROCK EARTH DEEP BENEATH SAN ANDREAS FAULT
from San Francisco Chronicle
Mysterious tremors deep beneath the San Andreas Fault near the quake-prone
town of Parkfield are shaking the earth's brittle crust, far below the
region where earthquakes normally strike -- and scientists say they can't
understand what's happening or what the motions mean.
Seismic researchers are monitoring the strange vibrations closely. But
whether the faint underground tremors -- termed "chatter" by some
seismologists -- portend an increased likelihood of a major quake in the
area is an unsolved puzzle.
Robert Nadeau, a geophysicist at the UC Berkeley Seismological Laboratory,
has charted more than 110 of the faint vibrations since they were first
detected by the lab's High Resolution Seismic Network in Parkfield three
years ago. What concerns Nadeau and his colleagues is that the epicenter of
the great 1857 Fort Tejon earthquake, whose magnitude has been estimated
at 7.8 to 8, was located almost exactly where the deep tremors are now
occurring -- beneath the San Luis Obispo County village of Cholame, some
17 miles south of Parkfield.

ESKIMOS SEEK TO RECAST GLOBAL WARMING AS A RIGHTS ISSUE
from The New York Times (Registration Required)
The Eskimos, or Inuit, about 155,000 seal-hunting peoples scattered around
the Arctic, plan to seek a ruling from the Inter-American Commission on
Human Rights that the United States, by contributing substantially to
global warming, is threatening their existence.
The Inuit plan is part of a broader shift in the debate over human-caused
climate change evident among participants in the 10th round of
international talks taking place in Buenos Aires aimed at averting
dangerous human interference with the climate system.
Inuit leaders said they planned to announce the effort at the climate
meeting today.

*STRANGE QUOTE OF THE WEEK
About "Google Print"
"This is the day the world changes."
John Wilkin, University of Michigan
"Within two decades, most of the world's knowledge will be digitised
and available, one hopes for free reading on the internet, just as
there is free reading in libraries today."
Michael A. Keller, Head Librarian, Stanford
Ronald Milne, Acting Head Librarian, Bodleian Library, Oxford,
said that this was as important an event as the Gutenberg's
orginal invention of the printing press. [Does anyone have
the exact quotation. . .I was taking notes from three nearly
simultaneous reports]
[BTW, didn't we hear that a major portion of the Bodleian was
now confortably ensconced deep within a salt mine? So how is
Google going to scan those?]
"Our world is about to change in a big, big way,"
Daniel Greenstein, California Digital Library
*PREDICTIONS OF THE WEEK
Project Gutenberg will be the first eBook collection

*ODD STATISTICS OF THE WEEK
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE VIKTOR YUSHCHENKO HAS RECORD DIOXIN LEVELS
"the concentration, about 100,000 units per gram of blood fat, is the
second highest ever recorded in human history," Prof. Abraham Brouwer,
Toxicologist, Free University in Amsterdam
*
We keep hearing annoucements that high school graduates make
$1.42 for each $1 made by high school dropouts.
They never mention that education makes for better people,
or for a better country or a better world. . .just that it
is likely that you will make more money. . . .
"Greed Is Good" seems to still be the watchword. . . .

eMusic
In our efforts to further the digitization of sheet music, Project
Gutenberg also recommends the Mutopia Project. The following was
contributed by the project team leader, Chris Sawer:
"The Mutopia project consists of a growing online collection of sheet
music, all of which may be freely downloaded, printed, copied,
distributed, modified, performed and recorded. It has just celebrated
its fifth year online, and now has nearly 500 works, ranging from
simple pieces for solo instruments, to large orchestral pieces and even
an entire opera. Composers from Bach to Vivaldi are featured, along
with some early jazz, and some modern pieces which have been released
under a free license by their composers. Visit our website to see what
we've got - and maybe contribute some music yourself!"

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)

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

Have We Given Away A Trillion Books/Dollars Yet???
Statistical Review
In the 48 weeks of this year, we have produced 3,742 new eBooks.
It took us from 1971 to 2000 to produce our FIRST 3,742 eBooks!!!
That's 48 WEEKS as Compared to ~31.5 YEARS!!!
FLASHBACK!
Here's a sample of what books we were doing around eBook #3742
Feb 2003 Letters of Franz Liszt Vol 2, From Rome to the End[2loflxxx.xxx] 3750
Feb 2003 Quotations of Rousseau's Confessions, David Widger[dwqjjxxx.xxx] 3749

Feb 2003 The American Crisis, by Thomas Paine[Tom Paine #2][twtp1xxx.xxx] 3741
Memoirs of Napoleon Bonaparte, by Bourrienne, Constant, and Stewarton 3740
With 14,649 eBooks online as of December 08, 2004 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $0.68 from each book,
for Project Gutenberg to have currently given away $1,000,000,000,000
[One Trillion Dollars] in books.
100 million readers is only ~1.5% of the world's population!
This "cost" is down from about $.94 when we had 10,069 eBooks a year ago
Can you imagine ~14,649 books each costing ~$.26 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine ~14,649 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???
At 14,649 eBooks in 33 Years and 05.00 Months We Averaged
438 Per Year [We do about 3/4 that much per month these days!]
36.6 Per Month
1.20 Per Day
At 3742 eBooks Done In The 343 Days Of 2004 We Averaged
11 Per Day
78 Per Week
340 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 7th was
the first Wednesday of 2004, and thus ended PG's production
year of 2003 and began the production year of 2004 at noon.
This year there will be 52 Wednesdays, thus no extra week.

IBM MAY BE LEAVING THE PC BUSINESS
IBM is said to be talking with Chinese PC-maker Lenovo, which was
formerly known as Legend, about the possible sale of IBM's PC operations
(though IBM neither confirms nor denies the rumor). Samuel J. Palmisano, who
became IBM's chief executive in 2002, has been recasting it as a service
organization offering itself as a consulting partner with its corporate
customers. Industry analyst Mark Stahlman explains, "Palmisano's getting out
of businesses that aren't growth opportunities and concentrating on what IBM
does best. PC's are not where the growth is." And Gartner research vice
president Leslie Fiering says: "Exiting the market may be the only logical
choice for global vendors bleeding profits and struggling for share. The PC
divisions of HP and IBM are vulnerable to being spun off if their drag on
margins and profitability are deemed too great by their parent companies."

EX-CIA CHIEF WORRIES ABOUT INTERNET SECURITY
Former CIA Director George J. Tenet sees the Internet as "a potential
Achilles' heel" in the fight against terrorism, endangering "our financial
stability and physical security if the networks we are creating are not
protected." Calling for new cybersecurity measures, Tenet says: "I know that
these actions will be controversial in this age when we still think the
Internet is a free and open society with no control or accountability, but
ultimately the Wild West must give way to governance and control." He
believes that access to the Web might need to be limited to those who can
show they take security seriously. (UPI/Washington Times 3 Dec 2004)

JUDGE REJECTS COPYRIGHT CHALLENGE
A federal judge has rejected a challenge to several parts of copyright
law that plaintiffs in the case said unnecessarily keep certain works
out of the public domain. The nonprofit Internet Archive and the
Prelinger Archives argued that so-called orphan works--books that are
out of print, old films, and academic articles without significant
commercial value--should be easier to archive and make publicly
available. At issue in the case was the plaintiffs' contention that
current law fundamentally alters the scope of copyright because it does
not require owners of works to apply for copyright protection, instead
granting protection irrespective of whether it is sought. The judge in
the case disagreed, issuing her ruling without hearing arguments.
Jennifer S. Granick, executive director of the Center for Internet and
Society at Stanford University, which was involved on behalf of the
plaintiffs, said the judge's ruling was improper and that the

BRITISH PROGRAM TEACHES SCHOOLCHILDREN ABOUT COPYRIGHT
British Music Rights (BMR), a group that represents songwriters and
composers, is sponsoring a program to educate British schoolchildren
between the ages of 11 and 14 about copyright and music piracy. The
group has put together education packs that include lessons about
copyright, royalties, and downloading music on the Internet, as well as
how these issues affect the creation of original work. Music piracy in
the United Kingdom is blamed for a steady decline in recent years in CD
sales and for significant financial losses to recording companies and
to artists and songwriters. In addition to limiting copyright
violations, the education packs, which have been requested by more than
1,600 schools, are designed to prepare children for possible careers in
the music industry. Guy Chambers, one of the songwriters who has
publicly supported the BMR campaign, said the education packs will help
shield young people who might pursue a career in the music industry
from "unscrupulous" individuals.

S. KOREAN OFFICIALS INVESTIGATE CELL-PHONE CHEATING
Officials in South Korea are investigating a suspected widespread ring
of using cell phones to cheat on the country's university admissions
examinations. Cultural pressure to succeed academically is intense in
South Korea, so much so that some students commit suicide as a result
of poor academic showing. As noted by Jung Bong-mun, an Education
Ministry official who works on college admission policy, student
cheating "is mainly due to pressure to do well in a test that will
decide their lives forever." Combined with nearly ubiquitous cell
phones, which provide new avenues for cheating, this pressure has led
to an unprecedented level of cheating on this year's exam, which was
taken by approximately 600,000 students. According to officials,
several hundred may have been involved in the scheme to send answers by
cell-phone text messages to those taking the test. Students reportedly
paid around USD$1,000 each, which leads authorities to suspect that in
many cases parents may be involved.

IBM CONSIDERS EXITING THE PC BUSINESS
IBM is reportedly negotiating a possible sale of its PC unit to Chinese
PC maker Lenovo Group, though neither company is commenting publicly at
this time. If such a transaction takes place, it would mark the end of
IBM's storied history with the PC, a market currently led by Dell and
HP. Analysts consistently agree, however, that the move would be good
for IBM, which has made no secret of its intentions to focus on
higher-margin operations such as software and computer services. In
particular, IBM executives have identified business process outsourcing
as a key opportunity for the company. For its part, Lenovo stands to
benefit significantly from acquiring IBM's PC business, which has in
recent years migrated much of its production to China. If such a deal
goes through, Lenovo would have access to U.S. markets, which have
traditionally been out of its reach, and would also own the very
popular ThinkPad series of notebook computers. As noted by IDC analyst
Roger Kay, in such a deal, "the IBM notebooks would be the prize."

TECHNOLOGY REVIEW
It would appear that the globalization of technology
is having more far flung effects than was predicted.
In recent elections around the world, including some
that are not reported much in the news, it would seem
that cell phones have been one of the primary tools of
the election monitors in kicking vote fraud to the curb.
Election monitors are counting the ballots as they go
though the official counting process and then calling
in the results immediately. . .if the total is altered
by the time the official results are released, everyone
already knows cheating is going on. These results are
being forwarded to the citizenry by new private radio
stations that were not in existence until recently.
Apparently in some regions these sources are regarded
as the most accurate reflections of actual voting,
since corruption is so rampant between the polling
place and the central authorities.
*Headline News Avoided By Most Of The Major U.S. Media
REMEMBER THE FLAP ABOUT SAT SCORES FALLING TO 90% OF WWII LEVELS?
The main reason was stated as the US scores should not be compared
to the scores of other countries because only the highest level of
students take such tests in other countries.
FALSE:
US population is 296 million of which 1,419,007 take the SATs.
South Korean population is 48 million of which 600,000 take their test.
US has 6 times as many people, but only 2.3 times as many student tests.
[Figures are for 2002-2003 academic year]
[BTW, the US barely average 25th in international testing.]

Is 'Fair Use' in Peril?
The far-reaching Intellectual Property Protection Act would deny
consumers many of the freedoms they take for granted.
By Eric Hellweg
November 19, 2004
Do you like fast-forwarding through commercials on a television
program you've recorded? How much do you like it? Enough to go to
jail if you're caught doing it? If a new copyright and
intellectual property omnibus bill sitting on Congress's desk
passes, that may be the choice you'll face.
How can this be possible? Because language that makes
fast-forwarding through commercials illegal-no doubt inserted at
the behest of lobbyists for the advertising industry-was inserted
into a bill that would allow people to fast forward past
objectionable sections of a recorded movie (and I bet you already
thought that was OK). And that's but one, albeit scary, scenario
that may come to pass if the Intellectual Property Protection Act
is enacted into law. Deliberations on this legislation will be
one of the tasks for the lame-duck Congress that commenced this week.

The National Science Foundation, as per the current Omnibus Bill,
is losing $30 million each for research grants and education programs,
as part of a total loss of over $100 million for the coming year,
as the US continues its push to continually whittle down this source
of some of the greatest recent research and inventions.

NEW MININIM WAGE INCREASE IS ACTUALLY A DECREASE, COUNTING INFLATION
You may have heard the great success stories that the new minimum wage
is finally going to be put into effect at $7.15, up from previous $5.15.
BUT. . .what you don't hear is that in 2007, when this increase will be
finally in effect, the actual value of $7.15 will be only about $4.77,
given a ten year inflation rate of approximately 4%.
People will try to tell you that it's much lower than 4%, but if so,
that would only raise the $4.77 to the average buying power of the
last 50 years, as in the table below. . .however, using Google to
search for "2003 inflation" the most recent figure I got was 4.4%
for December 2002, January 2003, and June 2003, but with various
disclaimers as usual, stating the previous year was abnormal.
[National Consumer Price Index (NCPI)
Decade Average in Current Dollars Average in 1997 Dollars
1950's $0.85 $5.02
1960's $1.29 $6.42
1970's $2.07 $6.30
1980's $3.33 $5.42
1990's $5.15 $5.15*
2000's $7.15 $4.77*

Here's what you MAY have heard in the news:
After years and years of wrangling, the Pennsylvania minimum wage finally
is going to move from $5.15/hour to $7.15/hour over the next few years.
The major reason given for fighting the increase was that corporations
in the neighoring states of Maryland and West Virginia would thus have
an economic advantage over those in Pennsylvania.
Question: Why do so many people pretend that politics is NOT about
the corporations versus the people?
I literally can't remember how long ago it was that the minimum wage
went to around $5, but it was a LONG time ago, and inflation has been
pretty stiff over those years, probably averaging 4-5%.
The new $7.15 Pennsylvania minimum wage, by the time it is fully
implented in 2007, will be at an inflation rate of about $1.50
when compared to the $5.15 rate in 1997. . .or 2/3 of $7.15 = $4.77
Workers will have lost $.37 per hour in wages, not to mention higher
taxes, higher health care, etc.

Recent classified documents from the CIA Station Chief in Iraq
and other senior CIA officials have indicated the situation in
Iraq is/was much more distastrous before the US election than
President Bush would have liked us to believe, and that the
current preparations for the Iraqi elections are taking place
in an environment that is equally disastrous.

*STRANGE QUOTE OF THE WEEK
REWRITING THE HISTORY OF THE 1968 CHICAGO POLICE RIOTS
You heard it here last week, before the official announcement!
[By the way, as predicted here, it appears that both Tom Brokaw
and Dan Rather will be marching off to join the other dinosaurs
in the near future, and I predict Peter Jennings will join them.
The average age of these three passed double the median age of
the United States years ago when the median was 33 years of age.
Their average age is now around 73 years old. Mr. Lehrer is
only just now coming up to 70.]
*PREDICTION OF THE WEEK [Last Week's]
New news anchors for the major networks will be being tested
on all the networks in the coming year or two, but the old
ones will be invited back for the next election.
*ODD STATISTICS OF THE WEEK
>From the New York times:
"But it turns out the e-book market has been changing course and,
though still tiny, has been growing at double-digit rates. It is, in
fact, the fastest-growing segment of the comparatively static
publishing world. Between 2002 and 2003, the number of e-books sold
rose 71 percent, according to the industry's trade association, the
Open eBook Forum. The industry posted record sales in the first
quarter of 2004, a 46 percent increase compared with the same period
last year. Still, last year's sales of 1.4 million downloadable books
are minuscule compared with the more than 2.2 billion books sold in
the United States in 2003."

US health spending shot up 9.3 percent in 2002 to $1.6 trillion,
3 to 4 times the average inflation rate. However, the average
health and life expectancy figures barely increased at all.

ELECTRONIC PAYMENTS HAVE OVERTAKEN CHECKS [From Newsscan, details above]
In 2003, Americans made 44.5 billion payments via electronic
transactions, compared to only 36.7 billion payments by paper checks. The
trend toward electronic purchases has been accelerated by strong growth in
the popularity of debit cards, which can now be used to buy almost anything.
Jean Ann Fox of the Consumer Federation of America says, "They're quick and
easy. You don't stand there and hold up everybody in line behind you. Plus,
folks are moving toward electronic banking and paying bills electronically."
But she warns: "It's getting very confusing for consumers, and companies
have not upgraded their protections." (Washington Post 6 Dec 2004)

CORAL REEF DAMAGE RISING WORLDWIDE
from Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Only about 30 percent of the world's coral reefs are
healthy, down from 41 percent two years ago, according to a study released
Monday that lists global warming as the top threat.
The study found as many as one-fifth of the world's coral reefs have been
destroyed. Another half are damaged but could be saved, it said.
Coral reefs are among the oldest and most diverse forms of life. They
provide food and shelter to fish and protect shores from erosion.

Here is some follow up information sent in about our article on Bhopal
1. There was no siren and no warning--people woke with the gases
already in their faces, filling their mouths, noses and lungs with
excruciating pain.
2. NONE of safety systems were functioning on the night of the
disaster six in all.
3. Union Carbide under-invested in an inherently hazardous facility
located in a crowded neighborhood, used admittedly unproven designs,
stored lethal MIC in reckless quantities, dismantled safety systems
and cut down on safety staff and training in an effort to cut costs.
4. Union Carbide and its new owner, Dow Chemical, continue to blame
the disaster on a fictitious and unnamed worker, and deny their own
negligence.
5. In the wake of the disaster, Carbide claimed that the gas was
harmless, when it knew it was lethal (as described in its own manuals).
6. Dow-Carbide refuses to share all its medical information about the
health effects of the gas it released, MIC--information that doctors
could use to save lives--claiming the information is a "trade secret".
7. Union Carbide fled India and abandoned its Bhopal plant, leaving
thousands of tons of dangerous chemicals behind, which are now
poisoning the water of the same people Carbide first poisoned 20 years
ago. As more people grow sick, Dow-Carbide still refuses to clean up
its pollution in Bhopal.
8. The Union Carbide Corporation, charged criminally with "culpable
homicide" in the wake of the disaster, has refused to appear in court
or stand trial. Union Carbide is now an international fugitive from
justice, considered an "absconder" under Indian law.
Bhopal remains one of the world's worst examples of corporate crime,
but the people of Bhopal continue to persevere in their call for justice.

Wives, by Desiderius Erasmus:
Notes: This is from blackletter Englyshe dated 1557. One illustration is
included. The text version preserves the line breaks of the original, the
html version has been treated similar to drama and starts a new paragraph
for each change of speaker. One illustration of the title page is
included to illustrate the flavour of the original.
