*** TWO Headline Stories from July 8th ***
``Literary reading is in dramatic decline with fewer than half of American
adults now reading literature, according to a National Endowment for the
Arts (NEA) survey released today [July 8, 2004]. Reading at Risk: A Survey
of Literary Reading in America reports drops in all groups studied, with
the steepest rate of decline - 28 percent - occurring in the youngest age
groups. The study also documents an overall decline of 10 percentage points
in literary readers from 1982 to 2002, representing a loss of 20 million
potential readers. The rate of decline is increasing and, according to the
survey, has nearly tripled in the last decade. The findings were announced
today by NEA Chairman Dana Gioia during a news conference at the New York
Public Library.'' (from the NEA summary, by Ann Puderbaugh)
*
[In response to this decline in reading, the Thoreau Society, caretakers
of one of the greatest legacies of literature and personal freedom, has
law enforcement personnel protecting their physical and literary turf,
as below, in a move that must have Henry David Thoreau rotating rapdily
enough in his grave to require high-endurance motor oil.]
Here is Supreme Court Plaintiff Eric Eldred's personal account of this,
reprinted with his permission:
On Thu, 8 Jul 2004, Eric Eldred wrote:
Today (July 8, 2004) I took the Internet Bookmobile to Walden Pond in
Concord, Mass. It is the 150th anniversary of H. D. Thoreau's book
"Walden." The Thoreau Society is having a dawn to dusk reading.
After an hour of having readers print and take away free copies of
"Walden," I was asked by the Walden Pond Reservation police to
pack up and leave and threatened with arrest. I left.
The park superintendent told me I could not pass out free literature
without a permit. And she would not give me a permit because, as she
explained, the state park gets money from a concession by the Thoreau
Society, which operates a store that sells "Walden"--and I was competing
with them by giving away free copies.
There is no place to park at Walden Pond except in the state parking lot,
for which I paid $5.
Integral to the Internet Bookmobile concept is showing citizens how
we can become our own publishers by means of the free Internet and
new print-on-demand technology. It is not just giving away free
books--readers actually learn how to make the books themselves.
It promotes the sharing ethos of the Internet and free culture and
therefore is a threat to the established publishing industry and the
media giants that control our culture. The Internet Bookmobile is
sponsored by the Internet Archive and Anywhere Books.
Evidently members of the Thoreau Society, charged with his legacy,
are now in the business of making money off him and are using their
political power to suppress the free culture of which he would be
proud. The government trustees of the land, who once jailed Thoreau,
are now more interested in making money themselves instead of helping
to spread his message. Shame.
Teachers and librarians and ordinary citizens need to master new
technology and use it for appropriate purposes. We can use these
tools to further our culture. But we can't do so if we are
threatened with arrest for giving away "Walden." I am having
difficulty getting invitations to schools and libraries for the
Bookmobile; I wonder why. Learn about the Internet Archive
Bookmobile at http://www.archive.org/texts/bookmobile.php and
http://www.archive.org/iathreads/uploaded-files/EricEldred-flyer.pdf
The book I wanted to give away is formatted at
http://eldritchpress.org/Walden5.sxw (or .doc) (It works best if you
have Baskerville Old Face font--sorry, I wasn't able to save a good
PDF version from OpenOffice.)
And from a later message:
Walden exists online in several other formats, such as in
Project Gutenberg and the Electronic Text Center of Virginia.
Now is a good time to read or re-read the book, don't you think?
[End of Eric Eldred's comments]
***and two more***
[My friends can tell you that I predicted this the first time I heard
of cheap RFID tags for dogs. . .it was only a matter of time before a
movement to keep track of people would use the same kind of RFID tag]
RADIO KIDS IN JAPAN
School officials in the Japanese city of Osaka will soon be using RFID
technology to monitor the movements of their pupils. (The acronym stands for
radio frequency identification.) The tags, which will be read by readers
installed at various key locations throughout a school, will be placed on
the children's schoolbags, name tags, or clothing. (CNET 12 Jul 2004)

***$600 Terabytes!!!
Without even the need for a rebate, Staples has $150 250G drives.
This reduces the over the counter cost of a Terabyte to $600,
and no longer requires a special controller to handle more than
four drives.
*** HOT Requests!!!
We're working up a team to read our eBooks into MP3 files
for the visually impaired and other audio book users.
Let us know if you'd like to join this group.

Project Gutenberg Needs DVD Burners
So far we have sent out 2.5 million eBooks via snailmail!
We currently have access to a dozen DVD burners. If you have
a DVD burner or know someone with one, please email Aaron:
cannona@fireantproductions.com
We can set you up with images or snail you these DVDs
for you to copy. You can either snail them to readers
whose addresses we can send you, or you can do a stack
of the these and send the whole box back for reshipping
to individual addresses.
We can also send you blank discs in quantities of 50-100
and *perhaps* also provide envelopes, sleeves, etc.
We also have many volunteers who only have time to do one
DVD per day and mail it out. These are greatly appreciated.
There is no need to do a lot per person if we have a lot of
people working on this.

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

Have We Given Away A Trillion Books/Dollars Yet???
Statistical Review
In the 27 weeks of this year, we have produced 2319 new eBooks.
It took us from 1971 to 1999 to produce our FIRST 2319 eBooks!!!
That's 27 WEEKS as Compared to ~29 YEARS!!!
With 13,226 eBooks online as of July 14, 2004 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $0.76 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 $1.16 when we had 8628 eBooks A Year Ago
Can you imagine ~13,225 books each costing ~$.40 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine ~13,225 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???
At 13,225 eBooks in 33 Years and 00.25 Months We Averaged
400 Per Year [We do nearly that much a month these days!]
33.4 Per Month
1.10 Per Day
At 2318 eBooks Done In The 195 Days Of 2004 We Averaged
12 Per Day
87 Per Week
370 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.

[PG Editor's Comments In Brackets]
>From NewsScan:
AMERICANS FLOCK TO GRAPHIC WAR IMAGES ONLINE
About one in four American Internet users sought out graphic war images
that were deemed too gruesome to display in conventional media such as
newspapers and television, according to new research by the Pew Internet
Project. The results were drawn from a telephone survey conducted between
May 14 and June 17 -- a period that encompassed such disturbing events as
the murder and dismemberment of American contract workers in Fallujah, the
exposure of prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib, and the capture and beheading of
U.S. civilian Nicholas Berg. Survey respondents reported mixed feelings
after viewing the images -- 51% said they felt they'd made a good decision
to access the images, but a third said they wished they hadn't seen them.
"Millions of Internet users want to be able to view the graphic war images
and they see the Internet as an alternative source of news and information
from traditional media. But many who do venture outside the traditional and
familiar standards of the mainstream news organizations to look at the
images online end up feeling very uncomfortable," says report co-author
Deborah Fallows. Women in particular seemed more troubled over the entire
issue of graphic online images, while younger adult Internet users tended
to approve their availability.

CHINA BACKS DOWN ON CHIP DISPUTE
China has agreed to end a tax break that the U.S. charged unfairly
favored computer chips produced or designed in China. The settlement of
high-profile dispute, which played out under the auspices of the World
Trade Organization, could pave the way for better relations between the
U.S. and China and may encourage China to refrain from using similar
preferences to favor other industries. "The line had to be drawn here,"
says Frank Vargo, VP for international economic affairs for the National
Association of Manufacturers. "If China had been allowed to continue this
patently unfair treatment of imported semiconductors, it could well have
sought to expand this practice to a growing range of manufacturing
industries. This isn't just about semiconductors -- even as important as
that industry is." Currently, China imports 80% of its chips because its
domestic semiconductor industry is still small, although rapidly expanding.
The repeal of the tax break will be especially helpful to smaller U.S.
semiconductor companies, which compete against Chinese chipmakers to
provide chips for consumer electronics and other lower-tech industries,
says industry analyst David Wu. "It's not really going to help Intel,
because they make parts that China would have to buy anyway."
(Los Angeles Times 9 Jul 2004) http://www.latimes.com/technology/
la-fi-chips9jul09,1,6795079.story?coll=la-headlines-technology
[Won't this just encourage the Chinese to make more of their own
chips and import even less? Thus it would be self-defeating in
terms of supporting "smaller U.S. semiconductor companies."]

IN HOT PURSUIT OF FASTER COMPUTERS
To help the U.S. regain an edge in high-performance supercomputing, the
House of Representatives has passed two bills to encourage the development
high-speed supercomputers for use by automakers, drug makers and other major
industries. Noting Japan's introduction of the world's fastest computer in
2002, House Science Committee Chairman Boehlert (R, NY) says: "What the
Japanese have done is send a strong signal as a reminder to all of us that
this is a very competitive marketplace."

HOOKED FOR RENTING OUT PRIVATE CUSTOMER DATA
The Hooked on Phonics company, which markets learning systems, has
settled a complaint by the Federal Trade Commission that the company rented
out customer data to outside marketers even though it had promised on its
Web site that it would keep the information private. The FTC's J. Howard
Beales III says: "It's simple: If you collect information and promise not to
share, you can't share unless the consumer agrees." But Chris Jay Hoofnagle
of the Electronic Privacy Information Center criticizes the FTC on the
grounds that the Agency is in effect pushing companies to have the fewest
restrictions possible without alienating potential customers: "The obvious
encouragement here is to not make promises. We think that approach is
somewhat inflexible." (Washington Post 7 Jul 2004)

THE GROWING AUTO INDUSTRY MARKET FOR MICROCHIPS TOKYO
Gartner Research is predicting that, as electronics become the main
driver of car innovation, chip makers will be a major beneficiary. Gartner
executive Mike Williams says: "Because penetration of electronics in cars is
still quite low, we expect to see growth [in chip demand] coming from
further penetration," and Drue Freeman of Philips Semiconductors adds:
"Electronics is where car makers can really start to do innovation and they
can differentiate their cars from competition. Also, the use of more
electronics and semiconductors will actually help reduce the costs that car
makers have to spend in building cars." (Reuters/USA Today 8 Jul 2004)

TENNESSEE GPS SYSTEM WILL TRACK PAROLED OFFENDERS [RAPISTS]
[See above story for similar RFID tags to track our children]
Tennessee has budgeted $2.5 million for a pilot project that will test
a global positioning system (GPS) for keeping track of paroled rapists. The
system would let law enforcement build maps with "zones of exclusion" for
the offenders (such as playgrounds, schools, day-care centers or the homes
of victims), and would allow probation officers to determine whether the
felons they are supervising are going to work during the day, going home at
night, and staying away from restricted areas. (The Tennessean 12 Jul 2004)

"WHISTLEBLOWER" LAWSSUIT FILED AGAINST DIEBOLD
Opponents of electronic voting are suing Diebold Inc. under a
California whistleblower law, accusing Diebold of defrauding the state by
providing shoddy balloting equipment that exposed California elections to
vandals and to software bugs. The individuals who filed the suit are Jim
March, a programmer, and Bev Harris, an activist. Under the whistleblower
statute, the two could collect up to 30% of any reimbursement. March says:
"This is about money now -- a case of the capitalist system at work. The
laws on voting products and processes are unfortunately unclear. But the law
on defrauding the government is really, really clear. Going after the money
trail is cleaner than going after proper procedures." But some critics of
Diebold are equally critical of March and Harris. One of them says, "I would
like to see people support a real solution rather than just try to cash in.
There are a lot of people who could be a tremendous asset, but they're
grandstanding and reveling in the expose." (San Jose Mercury News 12 Jul 2004)

CHINESE TEXT-MESSAGING NOVEL
Chinese author Qian Fuchang's new 4,000-word novel is meant to be read
in 70-word chapters transmitted by cellphone text messages. Qian says "the
plot develops just like that of an ordinary novel," and his employer, the
Guangdong Literature Academy, is planning an auction to sell the novel to

[And Don't Forget The Technology Revolution In India]
[Globalizations Rules Once Again!]
OUTSOURCING OUTRAGE GOING OUT OF STYLE
The clamor against the outsourcing to India of computer software and
back-office services appears to have faded substantially. Infosys chief
executive Nandan M. Nilekani says: "The backlash against outsourcing has
abated, customer spending is on the rise, and we have redesigned ourselves
internally to take advantage of the vast opportunities." According to Sunil
Mehta of India's leading software industry trade body: "The debate about
outsourcing appears to have moved from an emotional, anecdotal, job-losses
plane to a more sober, balanced one about the advantages of globalization of
services." Ironically, the anti-outsourcing clamor in the U.S. has actually
turned out to be good for the outsourcing business. Partha Iyengar, research
director for Gartner explains: "The backlash proved a gold mine of free
publicity for Indian outsourcing companies," and the U.S.-based CEO of iGate
Global Solutions (operates in Bangalore, India) says: "The backlash issue
made outsourcing so mainstream that even my barber was speaking
knowledgeably about outsourcing." (New York Times 14 Jul 2004)

SUPERCOMPUTING BILLS CLEAR HOUSE
The U.S. House of Representatives has passed two bills aimed at
improving supercomputing facilities and programs in the United States.
The High-Performance Computing Revitalization Act of 2004 would
coordinate all federal supercomputing projects under the authority of
the White House's Office of Science and Technology Policy and would
require the National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy's
Office of Science to make supercomputing facilities available to
researchers. Under the other bill, called the Department of Energy
High-End Computing Revitalization Act of 2004, the secretary of energy
would develop top-level supercomputing facilities, which would be
accessible to researchers from industry, academe, and federal agencies.
The bill authorizes $165 million for the project, but the funds would
still need to be appropriated through other legislation. The Computing
Research Association, a group that represents academic and commercial
researchers, praised the House's approval of the bills but noted that
federal funding for information technology projects has frequently
fallen short of targets.

FEDERAL PROGRAM PUSHES SCIENCE EDUCATION
[U.S. students fall from top echelon to bottom between 4th & 8th grade.]
U.S. Secretary of Energy Spencer Abraham this week announced the
Scientists Teaching and Reaching Students program, which is intended to
support and foster interest in math and science programs among the
country's middle and high school students. According to the Third
International Mathematics and Science Study, U.S. students, who are
among the top-performing students in the world in math and science at
the 4th-grade level, fall nearly to the bottom of the list by 12th
grade. The new program will award scholarships for math and science
teachers to study at the nation's labs, including Los Alamos, Lawrence
Livermore, and Sandia National Laboratories. In addition, those labs
will host 2,000 5th- and 8th-grade students for at least one day a
year. For a number of years, U.S. colleges and universities have seen
steadily declining numbers of students in science programs, and the
effect of the new program on this trend is not clear. Countries such as
India, China, and Russia currently graduate significantly more science
and engineering students than the United States.

HOUSE STANDS BY PATRIOT ACT, BARELY
Efforts to overturn portions of the USA PATRIOT Act were rejected by
the U.S. House of Representatives this week, as lawmakers responded to
a veto threat from the White House. One portion of the PATRIOT Act
lowers the bar for federal officials to obtain records from libraries
and book stores about the habits of their patrons. Civil libertarians
and many in Congress have taken issue with those powers of the law,
calling them unconstitutional, and Reps. Bernard Sanders (I-Vt.) and
C.L. Butch Otter (R-Idaho) had led the push to repeal those powers.
Even without the PATRIOT Act, said critics, investigators can obtain
similar records from libraries or book stores if probable cause is
shown. The PATRIOT Act allows the government to force disclosure of
records without showing such cause. The effort to block that portion of
the law appeared to have the majority support needed to pass, but 10
Republican lawmakers were persuaded to change their minds, resulting in
a vote of 210-210.

ACADEMICS GET BEHIND REVISIONS TO DMCA
Five academic library organizations, as well as the Association of
American Universities, have joined the Personal Technology Freedom
Coalition, which is working to gain passage of legislation that would
revise portions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). The
Digital Media Consumers' Rights Act would allow exemptions for fair
use from the provision of the DMCA that bans circumvention of
antipiracy measures, and it would broaden a current exemption from the
anticircumvention provision for certain types of research. Joining the
coalition to revise the law are the American Association of Law
Libraries, the American Library Association, the Association of
Research Libraries, the Medical Library Association, and the Special
Libraries Association. The bill may come up for a vote during the
current Congressional session, though it is opposed by the chair of the
House Judiciary Committee, which claims jurisdiction over the bill.

More Headline News Mostly Avoided By The Major U.S. Media
Report on Intelligence Community: "Put It In With The Garbage"
Those of you who follow the Washington Press Corps to any degree
already know the phrase, "Put it in with the garbage" refers to
releasing news bad to the current administration on a Friday.
Friday news programs are the least watched of the weekday evening
news reports and it is always hoped that the news will "blow over"
by Monday, having been replaced by something else. The real dread
is that the next few days will be "slow news days" that do not
provide any distractions from the bad news.
Even counting all the weekend panel news discussions, the Friday
news cycle has been determined to have the least public effect,
since so many people are travelling, partying, going to movies,
etc., during the Friday editions of the evening news.

FAA Official Says Air Defenses Are Up to Standards
Even After Incident Over Capital Showed Potential
For Realistic Catastrophic Interagency Failures
Thursday, July 9, 2004
A month after the fact, the VP of the Federal Aviation Administration
finally addressed the situation on June 8 that resulted in scrambling
of F-15's to possibly shoot down Governor Fletcher of Kentucky.
Even though the F-15's were already patrolling, due to the upcoming
funeral of President Reagan, they never managed to get in position,
even with a several minute head start, and thus the governor needed
no protection from them, should the scramble not have been called off.
Various failures in interagency sharing of intelligence and tools
were cited as the cause, in addition to common courtesy usually
given to heads of our state governments flying to Washington, D.C.
As a result, the Capitol was evacuated for some time.
There have been repeated examples of planes flying over Washington
either undetected or without the possibility of successful aircraft
scrambling to intercept them, this is just the most recent example.
During the Clinton presidency a private plane actually crashed on
the White House grounds killing the pilot and doing some damage
to the White House, with wreckage ending up very close to the
presidential sleeping quarters, which usually would have been
occupied at 2:00 in the morning.
The only casualties appear to have been a 160 year old magnolia
and some White House window glass, and several yards of turf,
as well as the pilot and the aircraft. The plane was reported
to have been stolen from a small airfield north of Baltimore.
Apparently only 14 seconds elapsed between spotting the plane and
the time of the crash.
White House security armed with shoulder-mounted Stinger missiles
were never reported to have been in position to fire in this,
or any other of the examples I could find.
This wasn't all that easy to find, as a Google Search of "White
House" and "Plane Crash" didn't turn up anything in the first
several 10 item searches.
STRANGE QUOTE OF THE WEEK

.:: 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:

CONVERTING OLD EBOOKS TO THE NEW FILENAMING AND DIRECTORY SYSTEM:
As of 18 May 04, Project Gutenberg volunteers began the process of
manually transferring the eBooks with numbers between 1 and 10000 to the
new directory structure. This means that the files which were
previously posted in etext dirs based on their "official release year"
are now being posted in directories based on their filename.
This process includes, where possible and practicable, repairing,
correcting, and re-formatting to current PG standards, and in the
beginning stages will be very slow. Place-holder files are being inserted
in the original file locations, directing user's to the new location. The
pointers on the PG search page are being updated as changes are made.
It should be noted that one of the primary benefits of the new file
system is that HTML files, especially illustrated HTML files, can now be
viewed directly online rather than having to be downloaded.
During the past month we processed the following ebooks per the above:

Here is another selection from Bill Hammack's Commentaries,
this time on The U.S. Declaration of Independence, which is
Project Gutenberg eBook #1, 33 years old as of this Sunday:
Every Fourth of July I read the Declaration of Independence. I do
this partly because I enjoy its eloquent phrases, partly because
its lofty sentiments fill me with historical pride, but mostly I reread
it to be a better citizen. It is, after all, the founding document.
Over the years I've detected, with my engineers eye, an unmistakable
trace of science and math in the Declaration. It reads like a geometric
proof with its "laws of nature" and its truths held to be "self-evident"
like axioms. It first lays down axioms like "All men are created equal"
and then derives, if you will, an indictment against King George the Third.
I've learned that there is more than an echo of scientific reasoning
in the Declaration, phrases like "laws of nature" had deep meaning
for the Founders. Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and Benjamin Franklin,
all members of the committee that wrote the Declaration, used science
as a source for metaphors. They believed it to be the supreme expression
of human reason. For no Founder was science more important than Jefferson,
the Declaration's main author.
In a letter he revealed, "Nature intended me for the tranquil pursuits
of science, by rendering them my supreme delight." He filled his writings
with discussions of plows, air pumps, compasses, canal locks, balloons
and steam power. He stocked his library at Monticello with books on every
aspect of science and technology. None more important to him than Euclid's
geometry and Isaac Newton's great works on physics.
At Monticello Jefferson had a picture gallery of intellectual giants.
He assigned a high place to three portraits, one of which was Isaac Newton.
He esteemed Newton as one of the greatest minds the world had produced.
Jefferson had both the Latin original and English translations of Newton's
Principia in his library; he is surely our only president who's actually
read it. So, when Jefferson opened the Declaration of Independence
by asking the American people to assume the powers of the Earth
"to which the Laws of Nature .... entitle[d] them." he meant more than
natural law - the supreme moral law known to humankind through reason.
To Jefferson and the other Founders, the words "Laws of Nature" had a
deeper resonance: They evoked a picture of Newton's laws of motion,
of the universe as one great harmonious order obeying mathematical laws.
A world in which it was natural that humans have inalienable rights.
How does all this help me today to be a better citizen? Well, in
hindsight, the Founders too glibly made a leap from the laws of gravity
to the laws of human interaction. In reading the Declaration one can
easily forget that the dignity and "the rights of man" are neither a
self-evident axiom, nor an inalienable right, but instead a
hard-earned acquisition that we must continually work to keep.

In addition to previous mentions noted from the general media,
eBooks have now made it to the comic strips:
FRANK & ERNEST talked about downloading "Civil Disobedience" a
few days ago on June 18. I emailed the author to see if there
was a direct connection.
For those who said eBooks would never become a general item:
Now that eBooks have made it into the comic strips, there will
be no way to argue that they are not part of general society.
*** HOT Requests!!!
We're working up a team to read our eBooks into MP3 files
for the visually impaired and other audio book users.
Let us know if you'd like to join this group.

Project Gutenberg Needs DVD Burners
So far we have sent out 2.5 million eBooks via snailmail!
We currently have access to a dozen DVD burners. If you have
a DVD burner or know someone with one, please email Aaron:
cannona@fireantproductions.com
We can set you up with images or snail you these DVDs
for you to copy. You can either snail them to readers
whose addresses we can send you, or you can do a stack
of the these and send the whole box back for reshipping
to individual addresses.
We can also send you blank discs in quantities of 50-100
and *perhaps* also provide envelopes, sleeves, etc.
We also have many volunteers who only have time to do one
DVD per day and mail it out. These are greatly appreciated.
There is no need to do a lot per person if we have a lot of
people working on this.

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)
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 you project you would like to work on.

Have We Given Away A Trillion Books/Dollars Yet???
Statistical Review
In the 26 weeks of this year, we have produced 2248 new eBooks.
It took us from 1971 to 1999 to produce our FIRST 2248 eBooks!!!
That's 26 WEEKS as Compared to ~29 YEARS!!!
With 13,155 eBooks online as of July 06, 2004 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $0.76 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 $1.19 when we had 8411 eBooks A Year Ago
Can you imagine ~13,155 books each costing ~$.45 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine ~13,155 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???
At 13,155 eBooks in 33 Years and 00.00 Months We Averaged
399 Per Year [We do nearly that much a month these days!]
33.2 Per Month
1.09 Per Day
At 2248 eBooks Done In The 187 Days Of 2004 We Averaged
12 Per Day
87 Per Week
375 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.

WHEN A FEATURE BECOMES A BUG
A report by Secunia, a computer security company, says that an Internet
Explorer feature is being used by network vandals to convert Web sites into
virus transmitters. (It's not a bug but a feature intended to make browsing
more convenient.) Two other flaws in Microsoft products allowed hackers to
direct Internet Explorer browsers to automatically run the virus when
visiting an infected site. Microsoft says that updated code will be
automatically installed on computers set to receive it. The update is also
available at http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com. (AP/USA Today 3 Jul 2004)

A KICK OF ADRENALINE FOR PUBLIC RADIO
The nonprofit Public Radio Exchange (PRX) in Cambridge, Mass., is a
radio distribution service that, for a minimum $50 annual fee, lets a
producer post audio material for audition and licensing. Other members can
then listen free and possibly choose to acquire a feature or news piece for
broadcast. Executive Director Jake Shapiro says the goal is to give public
radio "a kick of adrenaline." PRX currently has more than 2,700 members,
most of whom have chosen its free "Vox Pop" membership. "Of course, we'd
prefer more paying members," says Shapiro. "We aim to become
self-sustainable in three to five years." (Washington Post 5 Jul 2004)

ISPs WIN MUSIC DOWNLOAD CASE
Canada's Supreme Court has ruled 9-0 that Internet service providers do
not have to pay royalties to composers and artists for music downloaded by
Web customers, since companies providing wide access to the Web are merely
"intermediaries" who aren't bound by Canadian copyright legislation. At
issue was an effort by the Society of Composers, Authors and Music
Publishers of Canada (SOCAN) to force Internet service providers to pay a
tariff. SOCAN also wanted to extend Canadian copyright law beyond the
country's borders and apply it to offshore Web sites that serve Canadians.
Opposing the effort was the Canadian Association of Internet Service
Providers. (The Australian 1 Jul 2004) Rec'd from John Lamp, Deakin U.

RFID COULD COST 4 MILLION JOBS BY 2007
The Yankee Group, a prominent market research firm, is predicting that
RFID tags will cost four million U.S. jobs by 2007, throughout numerous
industries. (RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification, a technology
embedded for inventory and tracking purposes into products, materials, and
shipments.) However, Yankee Group analyst Adam Zabel thinks that most
workers who lose their jobs due to increased efficiencies made possible by
RFID technology will be able to obtain 'more value-added' positions.
[Isn't that what they ALWAYS say. . .then "find out" that only 40% of
their employees decided to take advantage of their offer, since their
new jobs wouldn't be nearly as good; "Would you like fries with that?"
The average "new job" these days pays nearly $10,000 less that the
previous job from which the worker "transferred."]

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TOUTS BENEFITS OF OFFSHORING
U.S. Chamber of Commerce president and chief executive Thomas Donohue
is urging American companies to send work overseas as a way to boost
national competitiveness, and he's scornful of labor leaders and politicians
who want to limit or ban offshoring of government contracts. "Without fail,
businesses go where they want and where they can earn money -- investment is
fungible. We're not going to create more jobs by building barriers." While
admitting that "one job sent overseas, if it happens to be my job, is one
too many," Donoghue insists that the overall benefits of offshoring jobs
outweigh the cost. One management consultant who heard Donoghue's talk
yesterday at the Commonwealth Club of California said: "In theory, it's
promoting change so that the quality of jobs that remain in the United
States remains higher than elsewhere. But the pace of change is fast, and
trying to stay a step ahead is difficult. It almost comes down to luck,
being in the right career at the right time." (AP/San Jose Mercury News 30

REBELLION AGAINST DIRECTORY OF CELL PHONE NUMBERS
A proposal from the the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet
Association (CTIA) to create a national directory of cell phone numbers has
created quite a stir across the country. Northwestern University sociologist
Bernard Beck comments: "As life becomes more technologically complex, people
reflexively pull back. We don't want to give up any personal information
because it seems every day someone figures out a new way to victimize us."
U.S. Cellular promises to withhold customers' numbers from any directory and
Verizon Wireless says it will not participate in a wireless directory, but
various other carriers have decided to use the directory service, which
could start next year. A spokesperson for CTIA says the industry doesn't
plan to list numbers without permission and that the numbers will be
available only by dialing 411. Andrew Cole of A.T. Kearney comments: "It's
more than likely that your friends already have your cell-phone number, so
all a directory does is make it available to strangers. Most people don't
want that. Our research shows that people want to simplify their lives.
They're subject to a barrage of external contacts they haven't initiated. In
the old days it was cool to be connected, but these days the sign of someone
who's reached society's higher echelons is that he's disconnected."

TINY KEYBOARDS
[Not Your Average Joe. . .Not Joe. . .Nacho. . . .]
Phone makers have been rushing to add standard keyboards onto tiny
cell phones and other devices: Motorola's new A630 cell phone flips open
into a miniature laptop mode, so that keys can be pressed with thumbs;
Nokia's 6810 flips open to produce a keyboard that spreads out like two
wings on either side of the screen; Samsung has designed a fist-size box
that uses a laser to project a keyboard on any flat surface. Yet some
industry analysts have been questioning the demand for traditional Qwerty
keypads (named for the six letters at the top left of a typewriter
keyboard): a survey by Strategy Analytics found that only 13% of cell phone
users said they wanted one, and Seamus McAteer of the Zelos Group thinks
that the Qwerty keypad is "a generational thing" -- in that today's teens
have grown up sending text messages using phone keys and have no interest in
using traditional keyboards on small devices. (USA Today 1 Jul 2004)

FRENCH AUTHORITY FORBIDS "DIDTHEYREADIT?" SERVICE
CNIL, the French data protection authority, has declared Rampell Software'
s new mail-service 'Did they read it?' to be illegal. (Subscribers
to "DidTheyReadIt?" get a report about the exact time their e-mail was
opened, for how long, on what kind of operating system and if the mail was
forwarded to other people.) The CNIL finds the service unacceptable under
French privacy Legislation; as a result, any French subscriber to this
service risks a prison sentence of 5 years plus a substantial fine.

COURT RULES E-MAIL EAVESDROPPING OKAY
[It's a technicality. . .if you really look, you'll find that your phone
calls are often digitally stored for short amounts of time, too, so they
could tap anyone and anything based on this decision. More below.]
In a surprise decision, a federal appeals court has ruled that it was
acceptable for a company that offered e-mail service to peruse messages sent
by its subscribers. The case stems from 1998 when it was discovered that
Interloc, a now-defunct literary clearinghouse, surreptitiously copied
messages sent to its subscribers by rival Amazon in order to "develop a list
of books, learn about competitors and attain a commercial advantage." An
Interloc executive was later indicted on an illegal wiretapping charge, but
yesterday's ruling upheld a federal judge's dismissal of that charge on the
grounds that the e-mails were copied while in "electronic storage" (during
the process of being routed through a network of servers to recipients). The
Wiretap Act prohibits unauthorized eavesdropping on messages that are not
stored -- such as a real-time telephone conversation -- but does not afford
the same protection to stored messages. In a dissenting opinion, Appeals
Court Judge Kermit Lipez wrote that the ruling unravels "decades of practice
and precedent regarding the scope of the Wiretap Act" and essentially
renders the act "irrelevant to the protection of wire and electronic
privacy." In a concurring statement, the Electronic Frontier Foundation
said that yesterday's ruling "dealt a grave blow to the privacy of Internet
communications." (AP 30 Jun 2004)

LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE (AS JUDGED BY SOFTWARE)
Voice-based lie-detector tests using voice stress analysis have become
increasingly popular with law enforcement agencies, telemarketing companies,
matchmakers, and claims adjusters, even though critics charge that the
technology is unreliable and invasive of privacy. Defending the industry
against such charges, David Watson of V Worldwide Inc. says that each of a
person's various motivations for lying has its own physiological
manifestations (each being a "self-defense mechanism of the body coming from
a completely different place"). But David T. Lykken, an emeritus professor
of psychology at the University of Minnesota, says: "It is implausible to
imagine that the only times that your body shows increased arousal when you
answer a question is when you're being deceptive." Future uses for the
technology will include algorithms for use by airport screeners, political
analysts, and lovers. (Mad Love, an offering already available, is "a

COMCAST SEES CONVERGENCE IN YOUR FUTURE
Stephen Burke, president of Comcast Cable, predicts: "The television
industry is going to change more in the next five years than it has in the
last 20." Comcast says it's now ready to roll out next-generation services
that require abundant bandwidth and two-way communications. These include:
video e-mail services; video-on-demand (VOD) programming that goes far
beyond movies; an Internet portal-like screen that subscribers can call up
on their PC, TV or phone to access voicemail, e-mail and faxes; and
extensive offerings of high-definition local TV station broadcasts.
"We have a vision for the company to not be a commodity provider,"
says Comcast CEO Brian Roberts.

[Personally, I like the idea of one price for TV and PC cable, phone,
and all those services. . .BUT. . .there is ONE *HUGE* problem. . . .
If your service goes down, you lose it all. . .you can't call repair,
because your phone is gone, too. My solution: I already have phones
from two different carries. . .and you don't know how many times I've
used one to call up and complain to the other, after having to tromp
around the block in the snow at midnight to call emergency repair.]
BELT-TIGHTENING AT MICROSOFT
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer is calling on his employees to do a billion
dollars worth of cost-cutting, so that the company can address shareholder
concerns about its stagnant stock price. In his annual message, the
questions Ballmer posed to Microsoft employees were: "Will we be first with
important innovations? Will process excellence lead to greater ability to
make an individual difference? Will our focus on costs hurt employees
personally and will it hinder new investments? Will we grow and will our
stock price rise? Will the PC remain a vital tool, and will we remain a
great company?" In response to employees who had wondered why Microsoft
hasn't used its large quantity of cash for employee benefits, Ballmer's
response was that "the cash is shareholders' money, so we need to either
invest in new opportunities or return it to them."

US-CERT ADVISES SWITCHING BROWSERS
In light of a recent announcement about an "extremely critical"
security vulnerability in Internet Explorer (IE), the U.S. Computer
Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) has issued a warning advising
computer users to stop using Microsoft's browser. US-CERT is a
nonprofit formed in September 2003 by the Department of Homeland
Security and the public and private sectors to improve computer
security preparedness and response. According to the US-CERT notice,
there are "significant vulnerabilities in technologies relating to the
IE domain/zone security model, the DHTML object model, MIME-type
determination, and ActiveX." The IE bug allows hackers to install
spyware on users' computers without any action on the part of the
user. The notice goes on to say that, particularly for browsing
untrusted sites, use of another browser is an effective way to avoid
the security risks mentioned.

APPEALS COURT SAYS ISPS CAN READ E-MAIL
A federal appeals court has upheld a lower-court ruling to dismiss
charges against Bradford Councilman, who was charged under the Wiretap
Act for reading others' e-mail. Councilman operated an online
bookselling company called Interloc and offered some customers
"@interloc.com" e-mail addresses, making the company an ISP. Councilman
is alleged to have made copies of e-mail that came from Amazon, in an
attempt to gain competitive advantage. The appeals court ruled that the
e-mails were saved, if only momentarily in a computer's memory, and
were technically not intercepted. Because the Wiretap Act applies to
intercepted transmissions, the court ruled that it does not apply in
this case. The court admitted the law may be "out of step" with current
technologies but said that, as written, the Wiretap Act does not
prohibit Councilman's actions. Andrew Good, one of Councilman's
attorneys, said many ISPs, including employers and educational
institutions, look at incoming e-mail, such as when they perform virus
scans. Finding Councilman guilty, said Good, would make all such
actions by ISPs illegal. Privacy advocates disagreed, however, and said
the decision sets a dangerous precedent for reading electronic conversations,
including voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone calls. CNET, 30 June 2004

CANADIAN COURT REJECTS PLAN TO CHARGE ISPS ROYALTIES
The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that ISPs cannot be required to
pay royalties to record companies for the music that users download.
Representatives of the music industry had lobbied the courts to compel
such royalties, but the Supreme Court said, "It is clear that
Parliament did not want copyright disputes between creators and users
to be visited on the heads of the Internet intermediaries." The Court
did acknowledge that although use of the Internet should be encouraged,
it should not happen "at the expense" of those who create original
works. Nevertheless, the Court said ISPs should not bear the burden of
copyright enforcement. The decision is the second in the past three
months that favored ISPs over copyright owners. In March, a Canadian
court ruled against record companies that had sought to force ISPs to
divulge the identities of file traders suspected of copyright infringement.

MICROSOFT SETTLES LAWSUITS IN MINNESOTA AND VERMONT
In its ongoing antitrust battles, Microsoft has settled cases with the
states of Minnesota--whose case was the only one to go to trial--and
Vermont. Microsoft has been accused of anticompetitive practices that
drove other companies out of business and allowed Microsoft to
overcharge consumers. In both states, as in other Microsoft
settlements, the company will offer consumers vouchers that can be
redeemed for hardware or software from any company. In Vermont, the
total for the vouchers is $9.7 million; 50 percent of unused vouchers
will be given to the state's public schools. In Minnesota, where the
trial had begun seven weeks ago, Microsoft agreed to provide vouchers
for $174.5 million, again with one-half of unused vouchers going to
Minnesota public schools. In Minnesota, however, Microsoft also agreed
to cash payments. Under the settlement, the company will give $2.5
million in cash to the University of Minnesota's Institute of
Technology, as well as $2.5 million in vouchers. Microsoft will also
pay another $2.5 million in cash to the Minnesota Legal Aid Society.

More Headline News Mostly Avoided By The Major U.S. Media
DUTCH PARLIAMENT FORCES MINISTER BRINKHORST TO WITHDRAS SUPPORT FOR
SOFTWARE PATENTS DIRECTIVE
Today, July the 1st, the Dutch Parliament has decided to direct Minister
Brinkhorst and Secretary of State van Gennip (Economic Affairs) to
withdraw the Dutch vote in support of the Council of Ministers' text for
the Directive on Software Patents. This is the first time in the history
of the EU that such a course of action has been undertaken.
The idea of allowing patents on software has been strongly criticized
among SMEs, scientists and consumer organisations. They inhibit
investments in Research and Development and contribute to higher prices.
Commentators also fear the rise of a "lawyers paradise" in Europe such as
is found in the USA, where programmers are constantly threatened by
lawsuits.
This act represents an incisive criticism of the European Council of
Ministers' attempts to introduce broad patentability of software.
Minister Brinkhorst, acting on behalf of the Netherlands, endorsed the
Council's current proposal, which not only reiterated the terms of the
Council's strongly criticized first proposal, but went even further,
directly rebuffing the clear stance assumed by the EU Parliament, which
voted to add numerous amendments which made clear how the category of
logical algorithms would be treated.
The European Parliament's version asserted that patents would only be
allowed for industrial inventions (e.g. washing machines) and would not
be made possible for pure software. All these adaptations were removed
in the Council of Ministers' controversial version.
Earlier, Brinkhorst described the Council proposal to the Dutch
Parliament as a compromise with the EP. In recent legislative debates,
Van Gennip was forced to admit that this was incorrect information, and
attributed it to "an error in the word processor."
The Dutch Parliament apparently didn't buy this explanation and today
she rendered an historic and groundbreaking decision, calling upon
Minister Brinkhorst and van Gennip to withdraw the Netherland's
supporting vote in the European Council and convert it to an abstention.
This measure is possible because at the present moment there is only a
"political agreement" and the "formal vote" can only take place after
the contested text has been translated into the 20 European Languages.
An emergency brake move in the procedure such as this has never been
exercised before.
With this decision, the Dutch Parliament demonstrates the active
interest her public holds in the debate over software patents, and her
recognition and appreciation for the adaptations introduced by the
European Parliament.
Dieter Van Uytvanck, spokesman of FFII Netherlands, stresses the
importance of this decision:
This political signal reaches much further than just The
Netherlands. We hope that other European countries that also have
their doubts about the proposal of the Council will also withdraw
their support, so that the current proposal no longer has a
majority. The historic precedent is there now.
Let this be a lesson for the lawmakers in Brussels: the European
citizen watches you closely. It is much better to take this into
account from the beginning as it is to get into trouble later.

STRANGE QUOTE OF THE WEEK
"It's [the Irag War] is good for business, bad for the people."
Vice President of a Halliburton subcontractor.
***
SIMPLE SOLUTION OF THE WEEK
One of our larger local cities got tired of waiting for
new state or national medical malpractic legislation.
In an effort to stop their doctors from closing up shop
Carbondale, home of Southern Illinois University, passed
a law stating that all local medical malpractice cases
must be filed locally, at the county courthouse, and the
punitive damages must be limited to three times damages.
Of course, I have a feeling that if I accidentally cut
off the hand of presiding judge, s/he would sue me for
more than the $40,000{?} alotted for actual damages,
and the $120,000{?} in punitive damages.
One more point of view, how "accidental" is it if the
doctor in question has made this decision before?
In light of that, they also passed a law requiring the
doctors to make available to their patients a list of
all state sanctions that have been imposed upon them.
In addition, _I_ would propose a law regulating costs
of the malpractice insurance: if a patient goes in
for a procedure in which the predicted failure rate
is 1%, then they pay an additional 1% over the normal
costs associated with that procedure. Then at least
the cost of the failed procedures is already covered,
and it encourages the doctors to use the real figures,
as they have to pay the difference if the figures were
too low. If you wanted to cover the additional 3% for
punitive damages, that could be added to make 4%.
The fact is that they would probably also add another
1% for administrative costs, for a total of 5%.
Thus a $1,000 procedure would cost $1,050, and the
$10,000 procedures would cost $10,500, and the whole
issue of malpractice insurance would be avoided.
