.:: HOW TO GET EBOOKS FROM PROJECT GUTENBERG ::.
The easiest way to obtain our eBooks is at our search page at
http://gutenberg.org/find
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.org/MIRRORS.ALL
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.org/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.org/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.

There is a new experimental online reader available. Start from any
bibliographic record page, e.g.
http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/4300
Basically this paginates the .txt file and remembers your last position
in a cookie so you can later resume reading where you left off.
Please test it. It should work with any book that has a text file
where the encoding is known.

*** Permanent Requests For Assistance:
DISTRIBUTED PROOFREADERS NEEDS CONTENT, PROOFERS AND SCANNER TYPES
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 project you would like to work on.
Please contact us at:
dphelp@pgdp.net
if you would like to know more about the Distributed Proofreaders.

Have We Given Away A Trillion Books/Dollars Yet???
With 15,678 eBooks online as of March 09, 2005 it now takes an average
of ~1% of the world gaining a nominal value of ~$.99 from each book.
1% of the world population is 64,433,715 x 15,678 x $.99 = $1+ trillion
With 15,678 eBooks online as of March 09, 2005 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $0.64 from each book,
This "cost" is down from about $.85 when we had 11,819 eBooks a year ago.
100 million readers is only ~1.5% of the world's population!
At 15,678 eBooks in 33 Years and 08.25 Months We Averaged
~468 Per Year
39.0 Per Month
1.28 Per Day
At 722 eBooks Done In The 63 Days Of 2005 We Averaged
11.5 Per Day
80 Per Week
321 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 5th was
the first Wednesday of 2005, and thus ended PG's production
year of 2004 and began the production year of 2005 at noon.
This year there will be 52 Wednesdays, thus no extra week.

[PG Editor's Comments In Brackets]
[India will be following in the steps of China, and then will
come Indonesia, and "suddenly" half the world's population will
no longer be "Third World" or "developing countries." This is
obvious to anyone paying attention, but we will find that some
very important people, institutions and countries have been
keeping their heads in the sand.]
BRAIN DRAIN CHANGES DIRECTION
Whereas a few years ago the "brain drain" of Indian talent to the West
represented a $2 billion annual loss to India, the recent growth of the tech
industry in India is bringing home as many as 45% of the Indian
high-technology workers abroad. Some engineering schools are already
claiming a 50% decline in the number of students leaving the country, and V.
Kalyanaraman of the prestigious engineering school IIT in Madras says:
"Students are finding interesting and challenging jobs in India. The pay is
also better than it used to be, and they find that they can have a good
quality of life." (USA Today 24 Feb 2005)

[The Legal System Ponders The Online World In Several Ways]
TEXAS BILL WOULD BENEFIT GRADUATES OF ONLINE LAW SCHOOLS
A bill working its way through the Texas legislature could give
graduates of online law schools more opportunities to practice law. The
American Bar Association (ABA) has so far refused to accredit online
law schools, saying that they do not train students adequately to
practice law. Although the ABA continues to refuse accreditation to
online law schools, the organization does accredit institutions that
offer some courses online. Currently in Texas, a graduate of an online
law school can only take the state's bar exam if he or she has
practiced law in another state for at least five years. The proposed
law would allow online graduates to take the Texas bar exam if they
simply had passed the bar in another state. A small number of other
states have similar statutes. California is currently the only state
that allows individuals to take the bar exam without having passed
another state's bar exam. The bill was prompted by the situation of
Julie Drenner, daughter of a state legislator, who graduated from Oak
Brook College of Law and Government in California, passed that state's
bar exam, and now wants to practice law in Texas.

COURT PONDERS PROTECTION OF ONLINE JOURNALISTS
Two court cases involving Apple Computer have significant potential to
define the legal landscape for online journalists. In one case, Apple
has asked the court to allow it to compel the operators of three
industry Web sites to disclose the identities of confidential sources
who supplied the sites with confidential information about upcoming
Apple products. The judge in that case indicated he is leaning toward
finding for Apple. In the other case, Apple has accused Harvard student
Nick DePlume, operator of the Think Secret Web site, of trying to
persuade Apple employees to divulge company secrets. At issue in both
cases is the extent to which online journalists are afforded the
protection granted to traditional journalists for protecting their
sources. An attorney from the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which is
fighting Apple in the first case, said that a ruling in Apple's favor
would "have a chilling effect on the use of confidential sources."
DePlume's attorney, Terry Gross, commented that had a major newspaper
published the stories that DePlume published on Think Secret, those
actions would simply have been deemed "good journalism" and no lawsuits

HACKER EXPOSES ADMISSIONS RECORDS
[9 1/2 Hours, Or 9 1/2 Weeks?]
A hacker who was able to access admissions records for dozens of
business schools posted instructions online for how applicants could
access those records. Among the universities whose records were exposed
were Harvard University, Stanford University, Duke University, Carnegie
Mellon University, and Dartmouth College. All of the affected schools
use an online application and notification system called ApplyYourself.
The vulnerability that allowed the unauthorized access has been fixed,
but during the nine hours in which the systems were exposed, several
hundred students attempted to find out if they had been accepted to
schools to which they applied. Final decisions and notifications of
acceptance are not expected for several more weeks. School officials
have been able to identify at least some of the applicants who gained
access to the records systems, and officials from some schools said
such activity would factor into the admission decision. Steve Nelson of
Harvard's MBA program said, "Hacking into a system in this manner is
unethical and also contrary to the behavior we expect of leaders we
aspire to develop." Even if a student saw a decision, said Nelson, that
decision isn't final until March 30.

NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY UNVEILS ONLINE ARCHIVE
The New York Public Library this week unveiled an online archive of
275,000 images, available to the public for free. The project, called
the NYPL Digital Gallery, is supported by a $7 million grant from The
Atlantic Philanthropies and includes Civil War photographs, illuminated
manuscripts, Japanese prints, early American maps, and photographs of
New York City buildings and streetscapes. Paul LeClerc, president and
chief executive officer of the library, noted that while other
libraries are digitizing texts, few are putting materials such as
photographs and maps online. Images in the collection are either in the
public domain or are owned by the library and can be downloaded and
used for noncommercial purposes. The NYPL Digital Gallery project,
which is unrelated to the library's arrangement with Google to
digitize content, is expected to add another 225,000 images to its
database in the coming months.

LIBRARY EXPERIMENTS WITH IPODS FOR AUDIO BOOKS
[The Fact That The iPod Shuffle Actually "Shuffles" The Playing
Order Of The MP3s Might Be A Potential Problem Here, Unless The
Library Puts Only A Single MP3 File On Each iPod]
The South Huntington Public Library on Long Island, New York, has begun
a program of loaning iPod shuffles to library patrons to listen to
audio books. Ken Weil, director of the library, said that the
introduction of Apple's newest iPod device, the shuffle, made the
program economically viable. "It's the right product with the right
price," he said. Although currently the selection of books available in
MP3 format is relatively limited, Joe Latini, assistant director of the
library, said patrons can request new titles to be added. He also noted
that because books in MP3 format cost just $15 to $25, compared to
about $75 for books on CD, the savings will likely pay for the iPod
devices over time. The library has ten of the devices available for
checkout, four of which store 512 megabytes while the other six hold up
to 1 gigabyte.

[More Educational Possibilities for iPods]
IPODS DEBUT AT DREXEL
Students entering the School of Education at Drexel University this
fall will receive iPods as part of a program to explore and evaluate
the educational potential of the devices. Duke University launched a
similar program last fall, distributing iPods to all 1,650 of its
incoming freshmen. The program at Drexel, however, is much smaller in
scope, with about 30 students expected to enter the School of Education
in the fall. Some have criticized such programs as gimmicks that are
unlikely to produce valuable educational results, and officials
involved in the programs acknowledge the risk that students will simply
use the devices to listen to music. Drexel officials said part of the
university's program is to solicit feedback from students about how
the devices could be put to good use educationally. Students will
receive microphones to record interviews and other meetings, and the
university will request that the students use the iPods to create
"audio Web logs" during a required semester of off-campus work. Drexel
will also experiment with podcasting, a process in which iPod owners
can download audio files, such as news announcements or lectures from
professors, and listen to them at their convenience.

RESEARCHERS OFFER PLANET NAMING RIGHTS
Researchers hoping to locate unknown planets outside the solar system
have launched a project to encourage computer users to donate unused
processing power on their computers to analyze telescope data.
Participants in the PlanetQuest Collaboratory whose computers discern
variations in the data that indicate the existence of a planet will be
allowed to name it. The project is led by David Gutelius, visiting
scholar at Stanford University, and Laurance Doyle, an astrophysicist
with the SETI Institute in California. The PlanetQuest project is not
unlike the SETI@Home project, sponsored by the University of California
at Berkeley, which uses donated computing power to search for
extraterrestrial intelligence. Gutelius and Doyle hope to raise enough
money for their project to build as many as 10 telescopes around the
world dedicated to searching for unknown planets. Gutelius said
start-up costs could reach $20 million, with annual operating costs
running about $10 million, money he hopes can be raised from private
investors as well as from subscriptions to premium content and revenue
from ads on the site.

*HEADLINE NEWS AVOIDED BY MOST OF THE MAJOR U.S. MEDIA
NBC BLAMES AMERICAN OFFICIALS FOR IRAQ-ASSASSINATION GOOF
NBC News blamed United States officials for a mistakenly reporting
the assassination of the chief judge overseeing the trial of Saddam Hussein.
An NBC spokeswoman said: "We got the information from multiple high-level
sources who confirmed the story's accuracy," and "It was wrong, and we
corrected it immediately."
Even those who ARE willing to report this story refuse to mention
that NBC showed the judge's picture which was previous banned or
only presented in the now popular digital blur. In addition,
no these articles are not mentioning his name, which is obviously
still on many sites that originally reported the NBC story.
*STRANGE QUOTE OF THE WEEK
"A 20 year old worker has a 30% chance of being disabled
before retirement." U. S. Social Security Information
*PREDICTIONS OF THE WEEK
Increases oil importation by China and India will drive
price up even further, as they buy all the additional oil
OPEC is putting on the market.
*ODD STATISTICS OF THE WEEK
Before the year 2000, only about half the world population
had ever made a phone call. Now cell phones are reaching
the rural areas of Asia and Africa.
About one billion cell phones have been sold in 18 months.
*
"If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely
100 people, with all the existing human ratios remaining the same,
it would look something like the following. There would be:
57 Asians
21 Europeans
14 from the Western Hemisphere, both north and south
8 Africans
52 would be female
48 would be male
70 would be non-white
30 would be white
70 would be non-Christian
30 would be Christian
6 people would possess 59% of the entire world's wealth
and all 6 would be from the United States
80 would live in substandard housing
70 would be unable to read
50 would suffer from malnutrition
1 would be near death; 1 would be near birth
1 (yes, only 1) would have a college education
1 would own a computer
I would like to bring some of these figures more up to date,
as obviously if only 1% of 6 billion people owned a computer
then there would be only 60 million people in the world who
owned a computer, yet we hear that 3/4 + of the United States
households have computers, out of over 100 million households.
Thus obviously that is over 1% of the world population, just in
the United States.
I just called our local reference librarian and got the number
of US households from the 2004-5 U.S. Statistical Abstract at:
111,278,000 as per data from 2003 U.S Census Bureau reports.
If we presume the saturation level of U.S. computer households
is now around 6/7, or 86%, that is a total of 95.4 million,
and that's counting just one computer per household, and not
counting households with more than one, schools, businesses, etc.
I also found some figures that might challenge the literacy rate
given above, and would like some help researching these and other
such figures, if anyone is interested.
BTW, while I was doing this research, I came across a statistic
that said only 10% of the world's population is 60+ years old.
This means that basically 90% of the world's population would
never benefit from Social Security, even if the wealthy nations
offered it to them free of charge. Then I realized that the US
population has the same kind of age disparity, in which the rich
live so much longer than the poor, the whites live so much longer
than the non-whites. Thus Social Security is paid by all, but is
distributed more to the upper class whites, not just because they
can receive more per year, but because they will live more years
to receive Social Security. The average poor non-white may never
receive a dime of Social Security, no matter how much they pay in.

[ This Week's Other Stuff ]
=============================================================================
These notes on "Journals of Travels in Assam, Burma, Bhootan, Afghanistan and
the Neighboring Countries" book #15171 provided by UK volunteer Les Bowler:
William Griffith (1810-1845) was a gifted botanist, a Fellow of the Linnaean
Society, and this book, produced by geologist Dr. J. McClelland from some of
Griffith's diaries after his early death and published originally by the East
India Company, is an account of his plant-identifying and collecting trips
through regions and countries to the North-West and the North-east of the
Indian sub-continent.
It is not a travel book in the usual sense -- although there is some mention of
various difficulties and 'adventures' encountered during the journeys (on his
trek in Afghanistan he was a scientific adviser in the Army of the Indus during
the First Afghan War, and witnessed the capture of the city and fort of Ghuzni,
and on another occasion, as member of a small party, was lucky to survive an
attack by bandits), it is principally a record, sometimes in great detail, of
the botanical species that he found along the way, trees, shrubs, flowers,
grasses and mosses, and the conditions, heights, temperatures, etc. where they
were found growing, -- also, to a lesser degree and in less detail, reference is
made to the birds, animals and fish of the areas traversed.
=============================================================================
-- Goodbye, now, goodbye. Write down all I said
And tell Tom, Dick and Harry I rose from the dead.
What's bred in the bone cannot fail me to fly
And Olivet's breezy... Goodbye, now, goodbye.
~ ~ ~
'That's all,' said Humpty Dumpty. 'Good-bye.'

There is a new experimental online reader available. Start from any
bibliographic record page, e.g.
http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/4300
Basically this paginates the .txt file and remembers your last position
in a cookie so you can later resume reading where you left off.
Please test it. It should work with any book that has a text file
where the encoding is known.

*** Permanent Requests For Assistance:
DISTRIBUTED PROOFREADERS NEEDS CONTENT, PROOFERS AND SCANNER TYPES
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 project you would like to work on.
Please contact us at:
dphelp@pgdp.net
if you would like to know more about the Distributed Proofreaders.

Have We Given Away A Trillion Books/Dollars Yet???
With 15,612 eBooks online as of March 02, 2005 it now takes an average
of ~1% of the world gaining a nominal value of ~$1.00 from each book.
1% of the world population is 64,219,651 x 15,612 x $1.00 = $1+ trillion
[Just passed this mark this week. . .1.0026 trillion!!!]
With 15,530 eBooks online as of February 23, 2005 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $0.64 from each book,
This "cost" is down from about $.87 when we had 11,573 eBooks a year ago.
100 million readers is only ~1.5% of the world's population!
At 15,530 eBooks in 33 Years and 07.75 Months We Averaged
~462 Per Year
38.5 Per Month
1.26 Per Day
At 574 eBooks Done In The 49 Days Of 2005 We Averaged
11.7 Per Day
82 Per Week
332 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 5th was
the first Wednesday of 2005, and thus ended PG's production
year of 2004 and began the production year of 2005 at noon.
This year there will be 52 Wednesdays, thus no extra week.

*Headline News from NewsScan and Edupage
NewsScan is ceasing publication for at least a while as of today,
we send our best wishes.
[PG Editor's Comments In Brackets]
[India will be following in the steps of China, and then will
come Indonesia, and "suddenly" half the world's population will
no longer be "Third World" or "developing countries." This is
obvious to anyone paying attention, but we will find that some
very important people, institutions and countries have been
keeping their heads in the sand.]
BRAIN DRAIN CHANGES DIRECTION
Whereas a few years ago the "brain drain" of Indian talent to the West
represented a $2 billion annual loss to India, the recent growth of the tech
industry in India is bringing home as many as 45% of the Indian
high-technology workers abroad. Some engineering schools are already
claiming a 50% decline in the number of students leaving the country, and V.
Kalyanaraman of the prestigious engineering school IIT in Madras says:
"Students are finding interesting and challenging jobs in India. The pay is
also better than it used to be, and they find that they can have a good
quality of life." (USA Today 24 Feb 2005)

*HEADLINE NEWS AVOIDED BY MOST OF THE MAJOR U.S. MEDIA
Recent revisions to SAT [Scholastic Aptitude Tests] were
not successful, so even more revisions are being added.
*STRANGE QUOTE OF THE WEEK
"They both thought they were above the law."
[re: Howard Hughes and President Nixon being
involved in the Watergate scandal]
Nixon will be elected "under our sponsorship
and supervision every step of the way."
Howard Hughes
*PREDICTIONS OF THE WEEK
India will will be following in the footsteps of China
in terms of industrial development, then Indonesia.
*ODD STATISTICS OF THE WEEK
If you put your hand over the portion of the globe that
represents China, India and Indonesia, etc., half of the
world's population lives in the area represented.
*
"If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely
100 people, with all the existing human ratios remaining the same,
it would look something like the following. There would be:
57 Asians
21 Europeans
14 from the Western Hemisphere, both north and south
8 Africans
52 would be female
48 would be male
70 would be non-white
30 would be white
70 would be non-Christian
30 would be Christian
6 people would possess 59% of the entire world's wealth
and all 6 would be from the United States
80 would live in substandard housing
70 would be unable to read
50 would suffer from malnutrition
1 would be near death; 1 would be near birth
1 (yes, only 1) would have a college education
1 would own a computer
I would like to bring some of these figures more up to date,
as obviously if only 1% of 6 billion people owned a computer
then there would be only 60 million people in the world who
owned a computer, yet we hear that 3/4 + of the United States
households have computers, out of over 100 million households.
Thus obviously that is over 1% of the world population, just in
the United States.
I just called our local reference librarian and got the number
of US households from the 2004-5 U.S. Statistical Abstract at:
111,278,000 as per data from 2003 U.S Census Bureau reports.
If we presume the saturation level of U.S. computer households
is now around 6/7, or 86%, that is a total of 95.4 million,
and that's counting just one computer per household, and not
counting households with more than one, schools, businesses, etc.
I also found some figures that might challenge the literacy rate
given above, and would like some help researching these and other
such figures, if anyone is interested.
BTW, while I was doing this research, I came across a statistic
that said only 10% of the world's population is 60+ years old.
This means that basically 90% of the world's population would
never benefit from Social Security, even if the wealthy nations
offered it to them free of charge. Then I realized that the US
population has the same kind of age disparity, in which the rich
live so much longer than the poor, the whites live so much longer
than the non-whites. Thus Social Security is paid by all, but is
distributed more to the upper class whites, not just because they
can receive more per year, but because they will live more years
to receive Social Security. The average poor non-white may never
receive a dime of Social Security, no matter how much they pay in.

DISTRIBUTED PROOFREADERS NEEDS CONTENT, PROOFERS AND SCANNER TYPES
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

Have We Given Away A Trillion Books/Dollars Yet???
With 15,530 eBooks online as of February 23, 2005 it now takes an average
of ~1% of the world gaining a nominal value of ~$1.01 from each book.
1% of the world population is 64,112,028 x 15,530 x $1.01 = $1+ trillion
With 15,530 eBooks online as of February 23, 2005 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $0.64 from each book,
This "cost" is down from about $.87 when we had 11,573 eBooks a year ago.
100 million readers is only ~1.5% of the world's population!
At 15,530 eBooks in 33 Years and 07.75 Months We Averaged
~462 Per Year
38.5 Per Month
1.26 Per Day
At 574 eBooks Done In The 49 Days Of 2005 We Averaged
11.7 Per Day
82 Per Week
332 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 5th was
the first Wednesday of 2005, and thus ended PG's production
year of 2004 and began the production year of 2005 at noon.
This year there will be 52 Wednesdays, thus no extra week.

[PG Editor's Comments In Brackets]
PHONE COMPANY SUSPECTED OF BLOCKING VOIP CALLS
The FCC's investigating whether a rural phone company blocked access to
the Vonage Internet-phone service, which was competing for the phone
company's customers. The company has not been identified. The problem became
public several days ago when Larry Lessig, a professor at Stanford Law
School and an advocate of Internet freedom, mentioned Vonage's problem at an
industry conference in Boulder, Colorado. Shutting off a potential
competitor could violate antitrust laws barring companies that control
essential facilities from refusing to give competitors the access needed to
compete. (Wall Street Journal 17 Feb 2005) <http://www.wsj.com>
NO RFID TAGS FOR SCHOOL KIDS -- AT LEAST FOR NOW
[I remember the same fight 50 years about out registering dogs and bikes,
and everyone thought how silly it was, but now we have to register cats.]
The InCom company, which developed Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)
tags to monitor the whereabouts of school children, has pulled out of a deal
with Brittain Elementary School in Sutter, California. School principal
Earnie Graham says, "I'm disappointed... I think I let my staff down. Nobody
on this campus knows every student." Dawn Cantrall, the parent who objected
to the system and brought the ACLU in to stop its implementation, remains
skeptical: "I'm not convinced it's over. I'm happy for now that kids are not
being tagged, but I'm still fighting to keep it out of our school system. It
has to stop here." The system was conceived as a way of simplifying
attendance-taking, reducing vandalism, and keeping students safe.

'D' IS FOR 'DISMAL' U.S. GOV'T CYBERSECURITY
Despite widespread agreement that computer security should be a top
priority of U.S. government agencies, the latest cybersecurity progress
report from Congress rates overall government efforts a D-, with seven of
the 24 largest agencies earning a failing grade -- including the
departments of Energy and Homeland Security, which, ironically, houses the
National Cyber Security Division. "Several agencies continue to receive
failing grades, and that's unacceptable," says Rep. Tom Davis (R-Va.),
chair of the House Government Reform Committee. But on the bright side,
says Davis, "We're also seeing some exceptional turnarounds." Those include
the departments of Transportation (up from a D+ to an A-), Justice (up from
an F to a B-) and the Interior (up from an F to a C+). Davis notes that
problem areas include lax security at federal contractor computers; a lack
of contingency planning for broad system failures; and scant training
opportunities for employees responsible for computer security.

EDS SHIFTS CALL CENTER WORK TO INDIA
[Isn't this Ross Perot's company?]
EDS, a company that manages many corporate computer systems, plans to
close 21 call centers in the U.S. and Europe by the end of 2006 and shift
some of that work to India. EDS already operates three centers in India,
where salaries are much lower in the United States. EDS says that any U.S.
job losses would be by attrition and would be part of the 15,000 to 20,000
job eliminations that were revealed by the company last fall. Currently,
about 30,000 of the company's 120,000 employees work on software
applications, 27% of them in India and other "offshore" locations.

[more on outsourcing]
LEGISLATION AGAINST BUSINESSES THAT OUTSOURCE
Colorado state senator Deanna Hanna has introduced legislation to
require that state to stop doing business with companies that outsource work
overseas instead of hiring U.S. workers. But critics of her bill say it
would actually cost the state millions of dollars, because so many companies
now rely on the practice of "offshoring." U.S. Bank economist Tucker Hart
Adams says Hanna's bill "will cost the state in terms of jobs, creating a
healthy economy, a good place to do business. Closed economies don't work."

U.N. PANEL HOPES TO END WEB WAR
A U.N.-sponsored panel aims to settle a long-running tug of war for
control of the Internet at a Tunis meeting this November at the World Summit
on the Information Society, where global control of the World World Wide Web
may be decided. At present, the most recognizable Internet governance body
is the U.S.-based non-profit corporation called the Internet Corporation for
Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), but developing countries want an
international body such as the UN's International Telecommunication Union
(ITU) to have control over governance over Internet issues -- ranging from
distributing Web site domains to fighting spam. (The Australian 22 Feb 2005)

ATLANTA SUBWAYS TO FEATURE TV SCREENS
Atlanta's subway system, MARTA (the Metro Atlanta Rapid Transit
Authority), will be the first in the country to offer TV on its trains, and
will begin showing closed-caption local news programming this spring. An
Atlanta company called the Rail Network, which is providing the technology,
will pay MARTA at least $20 million from revenues derived from commercials
shown on half-hour local newscasts provided by Atlanta TV station WSB. The
TV screens will be visible from every part of MARTA's rail cars, and audio
in English or Spanish will be available to passengers with headphones
attached to radio FM tuners or cellphones with adapters. (Atlanta Journal

*ODD STATISTICS OF THE WEEK
A terabyte of hard drive how costs about the same as
the average computer.

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

>From Joe Loewenstein about the editor of #15143, Famous Modern Ghost Stories:
Emily Dorothy Scarborough (1878-1935) as a writer and professor of
literature (Baylor and Columbia Universities) was interested in folk
tales, the problems of Southern (especially Texas) women, and ghost
stories. This anthology is one of her best-known works and the first by
her in the PG collection.

The Project Gutenberg Consortia Center [PGCC]
Please let us know of any eBook collections that
would be suitable for inclusion: public domain

You should see some significant changes this week.

There is a new experimental online reader available. Start from any
bibliographic record page, e.g.
http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/4300
Basically this paginates the .txt file and remembers your last position
in a cookie so you can later resume reading where you left off.
Please test it. It should work with any book that has a text file
where the encoding is known.

MACHINE TRANSLATION
We are seeking as much information as possible on the various
approaches to Machine Translation. Any brand names or contact

Have We Given Away A Trillion Books/Dollars Yet???
With 15,454 eBooks online as of February 16, 2005 it now takes an average
of ~1% of the world gaining a nominal value of ~$1.02 from each book.
1% of the world population is 64,112,028 x 15,454 x $1.02 = $1+ trillion
With 15,454 eBooks online as of February 16, 2005 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $0.65 from each book,
This "cost" is down from about $.87 when we had 11,435 eBooks a year ago.
100 million readers is only ~1.5% of the world's population!
At 15,454 eBooks in 33 Years and 07.50 Months We Averaged
~460 Per Year
38.3 Per Month
1.26 Per Day
At 498 eBooks Done In The 42 Days Of 2005 We Averaged
11.9 Per Day
83 Per Week
332 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 5th was
the first Wednesday of 2005, and thus ended PG's production
year of 2004 and began the production year of 2005 at noon.
This year there will be 52 Wednesdays, thus no extra week.

[PG Editor's Comments In Brackets]
CHINA'S CRACKDOWN ON INTERNET CAFES
Chinese authorities shut down more than 12,575 Internet cafes in the
last three months of 2004 to create a "safer environment for young people in
China," according to the Xinhua News Agency. With 87 million people online,
China has the world's second-largest population of Internet users (after the
U.S.), and the government actively promotes Internet use for business and
education. However, communist authorities block access to Web sites they
deem pornographic or subversive and Internet cafes are banned from operating
near schools. (AP/Washington Times 14 Feb 2005)

'THE NEW FORMAT IS NO FORMAT'
Music lovers may well be wondering why it is they're required to buy
the same song over and over again in different formats (think vinyl,
8-track, cassette, CD, etc.) and one music industry veteran predicts that
cycle is coming to an end. "The new format is no format. What the consumer
would buy is a data file, and you could create whatever you need. If you
want to make an MP3, you make an MP3. If you want a DVD-Audio surround
disc, you make that," says George Petersen, editorial director of Mix
magazine. The numbers seem to support Petersen's prediction: during the
second half of 2004 more than 91 million digital tracks were sold, compared
with 19.2 million in the same period in 2003 -- an increase of 376%. And
Apple, which reports total iPod sales between 10 and 11 million since its
launch in 2001, notes that 8.2 million of those sales took place last year.
Meanwhile, record labels who predicted digital music would be the death of
them are seeing CD sales up 2.3% last year, compared with 2003. Petersen
says music merchants need to capitalize on the digital trend and should
consider offering services for customers who might not have the latest
technology at home, such as burning CDs for them and offering
high-resolutions graphics for a jewel case. "Why aren't record stores using
the Internet? If you keep things old-school, you are going to die."

'SMART' DRIVER'S LICENSES A TROJAN HORSE?
A move by Congress to endorse a Republican-backed measure that would
compel states to redesign their driver's licenses by 2008 to comply with
standards for making them electronically readable has critics questioning
government's motives, saying it gives the Department of Homeland Security
carte blanche to do nearly anything "to protect the national security
interests of the United States." Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) says, "Supporters
claim it is not a national ID because it is voluntary. However, any state
that opts out will automatically make nonpersons out of its citizens. They
will not be able to fly or to take a train." Proponents of the Real ID Act
say it reflects the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission and will help in
the battle against terrorism and efforts to identify illegal immigrants.
But Paul says, "In reality, this bill is a Trojan horse. It pretends to
offer desperately needed border control in order to stampede Americans into
sacrificing what is uniquely American: our constitutionally protected
liberty." (CNet News.com 14 Feb 2005)

CONTROVERSIAL USE OF RFID TECHNOLOGY IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Brittan Elementary School in rural Sutter, California, is requiring students
to wear radio frequency identification (RFID) badges that can track their
movements in order to simplify attendance-taking, curtail vandalism,
and improve student safety. But civil libertarians are alarmed, and ACLU
representative Nicole Ozer warns, "If this school doesn't stand up, then
other schools might adopt it. You might be a small community, but you are
one of the first communities to use this technology." Angry parent Michael
Cantrall, who alerted the ACLU to the school9s decision to use RFID
technology, which is also used to track merchandise, says: "There is a way
to make kids safer without making them feel like a piece of inventory. Are
we trying to bring them up with respect and trust, or tell them that you
can't trust anyone, you are always going to be monitored, and someone is
always going to be watching you?" Each student is required to wear
identification cards around their necks with their picture, name and grade
and a wireless transmitter that beams their ID number to a teacher's
handheld computer when the child passes under an antenna posted above a
classroom door. But the IDs have been welcomed by some parents, such as one
who notes: "This is not Mayberry. This is Sutter, California. Bad things can
happen here." (AP 10 Feb 2005)

SURVEY PREDICTS SLIDE IN HIGHER ED IT SPENDING
A recent Market Data Retrieval survey of IT officials at more than
1,400 two- and four-year colleges and universities suggests a decline
of 4 percent in IT spending this year compared to last year, itself a
decline over the previous year. Analysts at the research firm said the
decline is likely a result not only of tight budgets overall but also
of increased performance of hardware, allowing lower costs for some
investments. The overall drop of 4 percent is the net of a 13 percent
slide in investments at public institutions and a 28 percent increase
at private institutions. Private institutions continue to significantly
outpace their public counterparts on IT spending per student, spending
an average of $553 per student versus $203 at publics. The survey also
found slightly lower rates of distance education offerings, down from
67 percent to 64 percent, and an increase in wireless networks, rising
from 70 percent last year to 79 percent this year.

*HEADLINE NEWS AVOIDED BY MOST OF THE MAJOR U.S. MEDIA
Last week's prediction read:
The results of the Iraqi elections will be held up for so long
that no one will care who was elected, or how many voted. . .
the fact that elections were held at all will called victory.
By now it must be obvious that there is a LOT going on "behind
the scenes" of the Iraqi elections, that took place January 30.
The media headlined a 57% turnout among eligible voters, but a
report on voter registration of Iraqis in the US was at 7% just
a day before extended registration periods finally closed. In
other countries around the world it was reported a bit higher,
but nothing on the order of even half the 57% headline numbers,
which would have been about 8 million voters.
Even the most literate, or numerate, reporters have now started
to question the reliability and validity of these reports, and
note that Iraqi election officials are becoming more and more
hesitant to answer questions as the vote count proceeds, rather
than having more to say as the count is more completed.
I know I often test the memories of our readers by asking them
to remember previous events of a similar nature, but it is now
obvious that the media should be comparing these new election
reports to previous elections in countries the United States
supposedly was saving from corrupt dictatorships and military
threats to world peace. The 1967 Viet Nam elections should be
coming to mind, as should the 1984 El Salvador elections, both
with similar initially high voter turnout headlines, which had
to be "adjusted" to lower and lower figures until it became all
too obvious that the initial figures were purely propaganda.
If the voter registration figures in Iraq at all resemble those
in all the other countries where Iraqis were registered to vote,
then it would be quite surprising if even 1/2 of the the 57% of
the initial voter turnout reports actually had registered, much
less successfully cast ballots.
The real question for us, locally, is why our media is not out
there asking questions about what is happening, but simply not
doing anything but reporting what they have been told to say?
Of course, if you really analyze just one week's worth of news,
you'll find just how much of the major media tells you is just
straight from the mouth of government officials, rather than a
"fair and unbiased" investigation into what really happens.
Initial reports of strong Sunni voter turnout have now proven
to have simply been pie in the sky to encourgage such turnout,
but it never caught on, even with the aid of such propaganda
relayed by many media sources who said those who reported more
truthful turnout figures were incorrect at best, and liars at
the worst.
Interesting when the liars call the truth tellers liars. . . .
When things go wrong, the current plan seems to be to muddy
the waters so badly that no one can tell what is happening,
and then reports are delayed so long that no one cares.
"That report is no longer operational," is what the Nixon
media people would say in such cases. I wonder how that
technique actually worked out in a historical perspective?
Worldwide press seems to be doing a little better, with at
least one of the major wire services quoting a high placed
Western diplomat as saying that voter turnout in the large
Anbar province was "quite low". . .but you probably never
heard that from the Western media.
Carlos Valenzuela, United Nations Chief Elections Expert
in Iraq said that predicted Sunni turnouts were so very
low that even if they proved to be too low that the real
turnout would still be low. But this hasn't been getting
much air time in the U.S.
The New York Times may have been one of the only sources
to actually report some hard figures, stating that their
sources reported "somewhat more than 50,000 of Mosul's
500,000 estimated eligible voters" had turned out in a
vote that had been 60% counted by February 3. Yet this
is not being used as a basis for other media stories.
There is a lot more to be said here, this merely touches
the tip of the iceberg. Some are questionning the actual
population figures for Iraq, other question those of real
voting age, etc., but there don't seem to be hard figures,
something the media has had a few years to come up with.
*STRANGE QUOTE OF THE WEEK
"GI Joe was apparently captured and beheaded by terrorists
in Iraq, as the pictures previously released have now been
identified as the diminutive U.S. soldier of great fame."
*PREDICTIONS OF THE WEEK
A new DVD will become available that will be able to hold
nearly every word in every book in the Library of Congress.
[Details available on request]
*ODD STATISTICS OF THE WEEK
Blogs are becoming the latest successor to the Gutenberg Press,
as they become the predominant fact releasing tool for the public.
[see Charlie Rose, 2/15/05]
*
"If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely
100 people, with all the existing human ratios remaining the same,
it would look something like the following. There would be:
57 Asians
21 Europeans
14 from the Western Hemisphere, both north and south
8 Africans
52 would be female
48 would be male
70 would be non-white
30 would be white
70 would be non-Christian
30 would be Christian
6 people would possess 59% of the entire world's wealth
and all 6 would be from the United States
80 would live in substandard housing
70 would be unable to read
50 would suffer from malnutrition
1 would be near death; 1 would be near birth
1 (yes, only 1) would have a college education
1 would own a computer
I would like to bring some of these figures more up to date,
as obviously if only 1% of 6 billion people owned a computer
then there would be only 60 million people in the world who
owned a computer, yet we hear that 3/4 + of the United States
households have computers, out of over 100 million households.
Thus obviously that is over 1% of the world population, just in
the United States.
I just called our local reference librarian and got the number
of US households from the 2004-5 U.S. Statistical Abstract at:
111,278,000 as per data from 2003 U.S Census Bureau reports.
If we presume the saturation level of U.S. computer households
is now around 6/7, or 86%, that is a total of 95.4 million,
and that's counting just one computer per household, and not
counting households with more than one, schools, businesses, etc.
I also found some figures that might challenge the literacy rate
given above, and would like some help researching these and other
such figures, if anyone is interested.
BTW, while I was doing this research, I came across a statistic
that said only 10% of the world's population is 60+ years old.
This means that basically 90% of the world's population would
never benefit from Social Security, even if the wealthy nations
offered it to them free of charge. Then I realized that the US
population has the same kind of age disparity, in which the rich
live so much longer than the poor, the whites live so much longer
than the non-whites. Thus Social Security is paid by all, but is
distributed more to the upper class whites, not just because they
can receive more per year, but because they will live more years
to receive Social Security. The average poor non-white may never
receive a dime of Social Security, no matter how much they pay in.

.:: HOW TO GET EBOOKS FROM PROJECT GUTENBERG ::.
The easiest way to obtain our eBooks is at our search page at
http://gutenberg.org/find
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.org/MIRRORS.ALL
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.org/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.org/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.

The Project Gutenberg Consortia Center [PGCC]
Please let us know of any eBook collections that
would be suitable for inclusion: public domain

There is a new experimental online reader available. Start from any
bibliographic record page, e.g.
http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/4300
Basically this paginates the .txt file and remembers your last position
in a cookie so you can later resume reading where you left off.
Please test it. It should work with any book that has a text file
where the encoding is known.

MACHINE TRANSLATION
We are seeking as much information as possible on the various
approaches to Machine Translation. Any brand names or contact
information would be greatly appreciated.

Project Gutenberg Needs DVD Burners
So far we have sent out 15 million eBooks via snailmail!!!
We currently have access to a dozen DVD burners. If you have a DVD burner
and are interested in lending a hand, please email Aaron Cannon
<cannona@fireantproductions.com>
We can set you up with images, or snail you these DVDs
for you to copy. You can either snail them directly
to readers whose addresses we can send you, or you can
do a stack of these and send the whole box back for reshipping.
We can also reimburse you for supplies and postage if you wish.
Please note that we can only use DVDs which are burnt in the dvd-r format,
as we have had some compatibility issues with the dvd+r format.

*** Permanent Requests For Assistance:
DISTRIBUTED PROOFREADERS NEEDS CONTENT, PROOFERS AND SCANNER TYPES
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 project you would like to work on.
Please contact us at:
dphelp@pgdp.net
if you would like to know more about the Distributed Proofreaders.

Have We Given Away A Trillion Books/Dollars Yet???
With 15,365 eBooks online as of February 09, 2005 it now takes an average
of ~1% of the world gaining a nominal value of ~$1.02 from each book.
1% of the world population is 64,417,750 x 15,365 x $1.02 = $1+ trillion
With 15,365 eBooks online as of February 09, 2005 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $0.65 from each book,
This "cost" is down from about $.89 when we had 11,320 eBooks a year ago.
100 million readers is only ~1.5% of the world's population!
At 15,365 eBooks in 33 Years and 07.25 Months We Averaged

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 5th was
the first Wednesday of 2005, and thus ended PG's production
year of 2004 and began the production year of 2005 at noon.
This year there will be 52 Wednesdays, thus no extra week.

GREECE BANS E-MAIL SNOOPING
Greece's personal data watchdog has ordered companies not to violate
employee privacy by snooping into their private e-mail. The independent Data
Protection Authority (DPA), whose decisions are binding, has barred firms
from collecting and processing information on workers' communications,
including e-mail. The decision did not include fines. The authority acted on
a complaint by the workers' union of an unnamed company, alleging the
company remote-controlled employees' computers through virtual network
control, specialized software that transmits the screen and keyboard and
mouse clicks between two computers on a network. (The Australian 2 Feb 2005)

WHY BUY WHEN YOU CAN RENT?
Until recently, subscribers to music download services were restricted
in their ability to transfer songs they purchased to portable players,
while Apple has touted the portability of its iTunes service, aimed
at owners of its iPod portable music player. But Napster is hoping to
change all that with its Napster To Go service, which it's promoting in a
SuperBowl ad urging music fans to compare the costs of spending $10,000
to buy and transfer 10,000 songs to an iPod, compared with the $15 per
month fee to carry songs from a catalog of more than a million tracks on
Napster-compatible players. The Napster service will use Microsoft's new
Janus digital rights management software, and manufacturers like Samsung,
iRiver, Gateway and Creative are cranking up production of Janus-compatible
devices ranging in price from about $250 to $500. An IDC analyst predicts the
price eventually will fall below $100, creating tougher competition for Apple.

THAT MUSIC IN THE AIR HAS BECOME A RENT-OR-BUY DECISION
The business model made popular by Apple's iTunes Music Store and its
iPod portable player -- which allows music fans to buy songs by the track
-- is being severely tested not only by new subscription services that treat
music as a pay-as-you-listen proposition, but by Microsoft's new
copy-protection software that allows subscribers to move their rented tracks
from their PCs to portable music players. How does this work? By putting a
timer on the tracks loaded on the player, and automatically checking whether
a user's subscription is still current. Phil Leigh of Inside Digital Media
says, "This is potentially the first serious challenge that the iPod is
going to face. What these devices are going to be able to do is attack iPod
where it's weak." But of course renting and buying can live together in peace:
Jupiter Research's Michael Gartenberg says, "There's going to have to be
some education in the marketplace. There's some stuff that consumers watch
over the air and on cable but don't actually own and some DVDs consumers
actually go out and buy. There's going to be some coexistence here as well."

WHO GETS TO DECIDE WHAT JOURNALISM IS?
[Talk about reducing a country wide argument to an extreme: Mom and Son]
A California court will soon decide whether bloggers have the same
legal protections as journalists under "shield" laws that protect reporters
from revealing their sources. Electronic Frontier Foundation attorney Kurt
Opsahl, who represents two bloggers targeted by Apple for leaking
information about new company products, maintains that if the bloggers are
forced to give up their sources "the public will lose out on a vital outlet
for independent news, analysis, and commentary." An opposing view is offered
by University of Iowa law professor Randall Bezanson, who says that simply
expressing opinions to a tiny audience isn't journalism -- because if it
were "then I'm a journalist when I write a letter to my mother reporting on
what I'm doing. I don't think the free-press clause [of the U.S. Constitution]
was intended to extend its protections to letters to mothers from sons."

YOUR LYING EYES IN THE PHOTOSHOP AGE
[Who remembers the doctored FBI photograph of the March on Washington
that spelled the end of the Viet Nam War? It turned out they took the
picture after the march was over, but didn't realize the Washington
Monument was, in fact, a HUGE sundial, and that it was obvious to any
observer that the photograph had been taken hour after the march ended.
Of course, we wouldn't have that problem today, would we?]
Have the ethics of photojournalism been changed in some way by such
software as Adobe Photoshop, which allows easy manipulation of digital
photos? The National Press Photographers Association says it's wrong to
alter the content of a photograph "in any way that deceives the public," and
the director of photography at the Los Angeles Times director of photography
says, "If our readers can't count on honesty from us, I don't know what we
have left." Dartmouth computer science professor Hany Farid is working to
solve the problem of dishonest photographs by developing computer algorithms
that can detect when an image has been altered. But Farid says, "It's a bit
of an arms race. It's tamper and tamper protection, and we can already
predict who's going to win. We simply make it harder" for the average person
with the average amount of skill to get away with photographic deceptions.

SCHOOL DAYS: WHAT EXACTLY IS GOING ON?
It is increasing commonplace now for teachers and schools to use the
Internet to distribute grades, pending assignments, written comments, class
participation, and disciplinary actions -- and to allow parents to check on
both the academic progress and general activities of their children. One
parent says, "My sixth grader has not bothered to tell me he is failing math
for the first time in his life. I was just perusing [the school's Web site]
and he's got one, two, three, four, five zeros. I have immediately put a
call in to that teacher." The parent adds: "If everybody would use it and
use it more, we could be more involved in our children's education." Yet
Pearson Education, one of the vendors for systems to manage student
information, estimates that only a quarter of its 16,000 school districts
buy the optional parental-access package. Among the reasons schools are
reluctant to use it is that teachers just don't want to let parents quibble
with them about grades. Yet without such systems some parents won't even
know that there's anything to quibble over, because, in the words of another
parent, "Kids don't always bring the bad stuff home." (AP 2 Feb 2005)

SCHOOL NEWS: FIRST AMENDMENT? WHAT FIRST AMENDMENT?
A University of Connecticut survey of more than 100,000 high school
students has found that educators are failing to give high school students
an appreciation of the First Amendment9s guarantees of free speech and a
free press. Commissioned by the Knight Foundation, the $1 million, two-year
study found that nearly three-fourths of high school students either do not
know how they feel about the First Amendment or admit they take it for
granted; seventy-five percent erroneously think flag burning is illegal;
half believe the government can censor the Internet; and more than a third
think the First Amendment goes too far in the rights it guarantees. Knight
Foundation chief executive Hodding Carter III says, 3These results are not
only disturbing; they are dangerous. Ignorance about the basics of this free
society is a danger to our nation9s future.2 (Knight Foundation 31 Jan 2005)

FLAT-PANEL SHAKEUP
Fierce competition from Korean manufacturers is driving down prices
of flat panel displays and eroding profits for many of the companies that
make them. With LCD screen prices down as much as 40% in the last year,
Fujitsu announced it's selling its LCD operation to Sharp for an
undisclosed amount. The divestiture comes on the heels of an announcement
last week that Fujitsu will sell back to Hitachi a large piece of the 50%
stake it has in the companies' plasma display joint venture. "Fujitsu's
been planning an exit strategy for flat panels for some time and it's
finally come to fruition," says an analyst for UFJ Tsubasa Securities in
Tokyo. Meanwhile, Hitachi and Matsushita are joining forces to develop,
manufacture and market plasma displays, a market they hope will prove more
lucrative than LCDs. Matsushita is the world's third-largest maker of
plasma displays after Samsung and LG Electronics. Hitachi will rank No. 4
once it's completed its deal with Fujitsu. (New York Times 8 Feb 2005)

HOLOGRAPHIC DISKS WILL STORE HUNDREDS OF MOVIES
With the competition between the next-generation Blu-ray and HD DVD
technologies still red-hot, technology firms are seeking a cooler solution
for the third-generation DVD. Six leading companies, including Sony, Fuji
Photo, CMC Magnetics and Optware, have formed the Holographic Versatile
Disc (HVD) Alliance in the hope of building a consensus early. The Alliance
says consumers conceivably could store a terabyte of data -- as much as 200
standard DVDs -- on a single HVD disc, and transfer data at over one
gigabit per second, or 40 times faster than a DVD.

DOES GOOGLE FACE COPYRIGHT TROUBLES?
Google's recently announced plans to scan millions of volumes in
several libraries has some wondering if the project is at risk of
running into copyright limitations. Google will scan books that are in
the public domain and make those texts available online; the company
will also scan copyrighted books and offer short excerpts of a few
lines each. Some publishing groups argued that putting even small
pieces online will violate copyright and that the company should seek
explicit permission from copyright owners. Critics also expressed
reservations about copyright determinations for books that might, for
example, be in the public domain in one country but not in another.
Sally C.L. Morris, chief executive of the Association of Learned and
Professional Society Publishers, said that although the sheer number of
academic publishers represents a powerful disincentive to obtaining
permissions from all of them, "that doesn't mean there's not a legal
requirement to do it." For its part, Google insists that its actions
are acceptable. Google spokesperson Steve Langdon said, "In every case,
Google's presentation of the works to the public will keep authors and
publishers in mind and be well within the bounds of copyright law."

*HEADLINE NEWS AVOIDED BY MOST OF THE MAJOR U.S. MEDIA
Apparently Iraqi government forces have been trying to
buy ballot boxes filled with votes they want to change.

AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS. . .OR RATHER 71.6 DAYS !!!
Ellen MacArthur wrote her way into several history book
records this week as she completed her 26,000 mile non-
stop solo sail around the world. This new world record
of hers of 71 days, 14 hours, 18 minutes, 33 seconds is
over an entire day faster than the previous record from
Francis Joyon of France.
Praise for her efforts has been coming in worldwide and
also from Mr. Joyon, himself, along with Prime Minister
Tony Blair and French President Jacques Chirac. Ellen,
who will now be Dame Ellen, is the youngest person ever
to be awarded Britain's highest honor at the ripest old
age of 28.
However, it would appear this may be just the beginning
for England's newest superstar. She said she could see
beating that record by about a week with more favorable
weather, as there were severe problems this time. Some
other world records are already in her sights including
the old clipper ship records from Shanghai to London at
67 days, circumnavigating the British Isles, and a west
to east Atlantic crossing.
These trips are particular grueling as sleep only comes
in 15-30 minute catnaps, and there are always emergency
repairs, this time requiring her climb the mast to make
repairs the the mainsail. Being bruised and battered a
world away from home out in the middle of nowhere is an
essential portion of most such voyages.
The BBC World News devoted just over 1/3 of their story
segments to covering the finish of this record breaking
story, but United States networks seemed to ignore this
story completely.
The media seems to be quite different these days from a
standpoint of biased reporting than it was in a variety
of previous incarnations during the 1900's and 1800's.
And, of course, let's not forget just how great stories
such as this one fly in the face of Harvard's President
only a week after he left the news with egg on his face
after commenting about women not being suited for study
or careers in the areas of science and mathematics that
are required to accomplish such a record breaking feat.
If you don't think applying science and math to sailing
around the world requires much study, then you have not
actually tried it, or else you are a natural math whiz.
We tend to forget that the rigors of navigation, even a
modern computer-aided navigation, are still well beyond
the capabilities of the normal math and science student
or professor, not to mention being able to calcuate the
winds, currents, location, weather reports, maps, reefs
and all the other naval navigation requirements.
This feat is truly one of the most difficult we hear on
the news as well as one of those requiring the greatest
possible endurance of mind and body working together.
Whether that mind and body are female or male. . . .
*STRANGE QUOTE OF THE WEEK
I hope you saw The Daily Show's segment on the largest cache of
chemical weapons in the world. It's in a place called Al Abama.
*PREDICTIONS OF THE WEEK
The results of the Iraqi elections will be held up for so long
that no one will care who was elected, or how many voted. . .
the fact that elections were held at all will called victory.
Of course, that victory will not encourage anyone to go home.
*ODD STATISTICS OF THE WEEK
We don't usually associate smog advisories with the
middle of winter, but there is just such an "air quality
alert" [to put it in NewSpeak] for a handful of counties
surrounding Terra Haute, Indiana, and apparently a few
more in northern Indiana. [Terra Haute is south of
Indianapolis, not far from Illinois.]
!!! Well, I spoke a little too soon, only a day after
sending out this report we were under a "smog alert"
as they called it before the Political Correction
Officers insisted on a new NewSpeak Dictionary that
doesn't include "smog alert." Yes, right here in
my Central Illinois hometown surrounded by cornfields
we are having our own smog alert, and people are being
warned not to go outside if they are old or have any
medical concerns about breathing.
Apparently lots of particles are in the atmosphere
from cars, factories, furnaces and the like; first
time we've had one of these new-fangled alerts, at
least according to the news.

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