.:: 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.

>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.

*** 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 15,454 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)

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.

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.

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
~457 Per Year
38.1 Per Month
1.25 Per Day
At 409 eBooks Done In The 35 Days Of 2005 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."

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.

[ This Week's Other Stuff ]
=============================================================================
Joe Loewenstein sends along the following for #14968, The Standard Operas:
This book should be of great interest to opera lovers. The author
discusses 70 operas which he felt constituted the "standard repertory"
of 1896. Thirty-four are still in the standard repertory, 20 are rarely
performed today, and 16 are almost unknown today (such as Balfe's "The
Bohemian Girl" and Goldmark's "The Queen of Sheba").

FWIW: "Only one thing is impossible for God: To find any sense in any
copyright law on the planet." Mark Twain

Voltaire is reputed to have said: "A witty saying proves nothing."
Obviously, he never envisioned taglines!

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

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

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

[ This Week's Other Stuff ]

>From David Price, about #14865, Gwaith Alun:
For those wishing to know: Alun (pronounced Alin) was born in 1797 in
Mold, North Wales. His real name was John Blackwell. He didn't receive
much education as a child but showed a great interest in literature
(English and Welsh). A group of local well-to-do people were impressed
by him and got together enough money to fully educate him. He went to
Oxford University in 1824. Later he became a clergyman in Manordeifi
(Wales) until his death in 1841. The book is collection of his works,
mainly in Welsh although a few letters in English have been included.
Since many people who see the Gutenberg releases don't read Welsh and
might be interested in seeing a specimen translation of the work here's
a verse from Can Gwraig Y Pysgotwr (Song of the Fisherman's Wife):
Hush, restless wave! and landward gently creeping,
No longer sullen break;
All nature now is still and softly sleeping,
And why art thou awake?
The busy din of earth will soon be o'er,
Rest thee, oh rest upon thy sandy shore.
~ ~ ~
Always acknowledge a fault. This will throw those in authority off their
guard and give you an opportunity to commit more. -Mark Twain
~ ~ ~
And yes I said yes today is the 83rd anniversary of the first
publication of Ulysses.

REQUEST FOR RUSSIAN TRANSLATOR
We are trying to start up a Project Gutenberg Russian Team,
and we need someone to translate simple email messages from
members of Project Gutenberg who want to provide a service
to the Russian Team, but who do not know Russian. . .these
people will be helping with scanning, finding books, etc.
The messages will be in MS Word's .doc format in Cyrillic,
we need them translated into English, also in a .doc file.
Thanks!!! Contact Jared Buck <JBuck814366460@aol.com>

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.

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 15,247 eBooks online as of February 02, 2005 it now takes an average
of ~1% of the world gaining a nominal value of ~$1.05 from each book.
1% of the world population is 64,112,028 x 15,247 x $1.05 = $1+ trillion
With 15,247 eBooks online as of February 26, 2005 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $0.66 from each book,
This "cost" is down from about $.89 when we had 11,219 eBooks a year ago.
100 million readers is only ~1.5% of the world's population!
At 15,247 eBooks in 33 Years and 07.00 Months We Averaged
~454 Per Year
37.8 Per Month
1.24 Per Day
At 291 eBooks Done In The 28 Days Of 2005 We Averaged
10.4 Per Day
73 Per Week
291 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
[PG Editor's Comments In Brackets]
SHAKEOUT IN CONSUMER ELECTRONICS FORECAST
Experts are predicting a major shakeout in the consumer electronics
industry, similar to the one computer makers endured two decades ago.
Hordes of upstart rivals, plummeting prices and a host of new technologies
are pummeling profits at industry stalwarts such as Sony, Pioneer and
Philips Electronics. "We're seeing price depreciation that would have been
unimaginable in the past," says Sony chief strategy officer Katsumi Ihara.
"What's behind it is that with the switch to digital components, anyone can
make them and there aren't compelling ways to distinguish one's products."
In an effort to cope with the onslaught of mass look-alikes, the big
electronic makers have scrambled to control the few key components that
still yield reasonable profit margins, such as flat-panel displays. That,
in turn, has led to a debilitating supply glut, with LCD prices falling 40%
since last summer. The result has been a refocusing on the part of Philips
and Thomson SA of France, which are now placing more emphasis on medical
equipment and broadcasting gear, respectively. Meanwhile, Sony and Samsung
are finding new life in cooperative ventures, teaming up to build the
world's largest LCD panel factory. Hitachi, Toshiba and Matsushita are
following suit, with an LCD plant that will open next year. The bottom line
will be good for consumers, however, as electronics manufacturers struggle
to churn out innovative products at ever-lower prices.

REPORT URGES DEGREE PROGRAMS FOR ONLINE EDUCATION
A new report from the Alliance for Higher Education Competitiveness
identifies degree programs as the single largest factor that determines
whether a distance education program is successful. In preparing the
report, "Achieving Success in Internet-Supported Learning in Higher
Education," the group conducted a survey of 21 distance education
programs it deemed successful. Among those schools, 89 percent offered
online degrees rather than just online courses. "It's easier to
measure the progress at a programmatic level," according to the
report's author, Rob Abel, president of the alliance. "The
programmatic approach also gets institutions thinking about
student-support services," Abel continued. Among the institutions
profiled in the study is the University of Florida, which currently has
more than 6,000 students enrolled in distance education programs.
According to William H. Riffee, associate provost for distance,
continuing, and executive education at the university, the program was
a response to growing numbers of students who wanted degrees from the
university, which could not handle them all. Riffee attributes his
school's success to its having scaled the program effectively. The
report also identified the for-profit institution Westwood College as
successful. Shaun McAlmont, president of Westwood College Online,
credits some of the success to the agility of the for-profit
educational industry, compared to traditional higher education, which
he said is slow to change.

SUN MOVES SOLARIS TO OPEN SOURCE
Sun Microsystems has announced it will make its Solaris 10 operating
system available as an open source product. Sun has lost ground to
companies including Dell and HP that increasingly offer Linux-based
products. Changing consumer sentiment regarding proprietary systems has
left Sun defending its products, and the company's latest move is
designed to persuade developers to once again consider Sun's
technology. The open source Solaris will be available free of charge,
and developers will be able to make changes to the operating system to
improve it as they see fit. According to John Loiacono, executive vice
president for software at Sun, the goal is to get more developers using
Solaris, thereby increasing opportunities for Sun to sell its other
products and hardware. The company also announced it would modify its
stance on intellectual property and allow free use of 1,600 of the
patents it holds on the Solaris operating system.

MICROSOFT TO LIMIT DOWNLOADS TO LEGAL SOFTWARE OWNERS
Microsoft will soon begin requiring users to employ a program called
Windows Genuine Advantage before downloading software patches or
updates. The program verifies that the computer requesting the download
is running a legitimate copy of Windows software rather than a pirated
or counterfeit version. Initially, the requirement will apply to users
in China, Norway, and the Czech Republic, but it will include all users
by the middle of the year. Users will still be able to receive software
updates and patches using the Automatic Updates feature. The program is
part of Microsoft's three-pronged approach to limiting software
piracy: educating users, designing products that discourage illegal
copying, and legal enforcement. In addition to allowing downloads, the
program will also offer users discounts on Microsoft products and
services. Analysts noted that although the obvious benefit of the
program is to Microsoft by way of decreasing the incidence of software
piracy, users stand to benefit as well. Ensuring that a computer is
running a legitimate version of an operating system shields that
computer from bugs and glitches associated with pirated software, while
guaranteeing that patches and upgrades will work properly.

First Amendment On The Decline
A University of Connecticut study sponored by the Knight Foundation
reports from their massive study of 112,003 students 7,889 teachers
and 327 school principals:
36% believe newspapers should get "government approval" before publishing.
13% had no opinion, leaving 51% for a free press.
32% say the press has "too much" freedom.
10% say the press has too little freedom.
37% say the amount of press freedom is just right.

Subject: Reaction to Harvard's president
Summers' comments about women in science
This reminds me of the famous Dr. Clark (Harvard also)
comments from around the 1850's. Education was bad for
women because studying took necessary nutrients away from
the ovaries and sent them to the brain. His proof:
educated women had fewer children.
At least the distribution of eBooks is done in a manner
that is not based on color, creed, gender, religion, etc.
However, those of us in areas in which the vast majority
not only have computers but also have Internet access,
and even over half have high speed Internet access, must
take some time to consider that most of the world has no
access at all to computers or the Internet. Nearly half
the people in the world have never been part of a plain,
non-emergency phone call.
*PREDICTIONS OF THE WEEK
There will be a race in May to see which happens first:
Star Wars: The Revenge of the Sith
or
The resumption of the Space Shuttle flights
*ODD STATISTICS OF THE WEEK
The single greatest cause of personal bankruptcy in the US:
Unpaid medical bills
[Is there any other country in which this is the case?
*
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.]
*
This year, for the first time the photographic industry
will be predominantly digital as opposed to film.
*
For the last year we have been reporting on China's growth,
and once mentioned [here or elsewhere] that China was buying
up all the scrap metal available in the entire world.
This struck close to home yesterday, as 30 salaried employees
came to work to find they had no jobs as a result of there being
not enough scrap metal here in the Heartland to keep them working.

Most of you have probably seen something like this:
"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.

Please visit and test our newest site:
www.pgcc.net
[also available as www.gutenberg.us and www.gutenberg.cc]
The Project Gutenberg Consortia Center [PGCC]
Please let us know of any eBook collections that
would be suitable for inclusion: public domain
or copyrighted, for which we must ask permission.

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
information would be greatly appreciated.
***
Please use our new site for downloading DVD and CD images, etc.

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.

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

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 15,172 eBooks online as of January 26, 2005 it now takes an average
of ~1% of the world gaining a nominal value of $1.05 from each book.
1% of the world population is 64,112,028 x 15,050 x $1.05 = $1+ trillion
With 15,172 eBooks online as of January 26, 2005 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $0.66 from each book,
This "cost" is down from about $.90 when we had 11,001 eBooks a year ago.
100 million readers is only ~1.5% of the world's population!
Can you imagine ~15,172 books each costing ~$.24 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine ~15,172 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???
At 15,172 eBooks in 33 Years and 06.75 Months We Averaged
~450 Per Year
37.5 Per Month
1.23 Per Day
At 216 eBooks Done In The 21 Days Of 2005 We Averaged
10.3 Per Day
72 Per Week
270 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.

'ROBO-SOLDIER' PREPARES FOR IRAQ
The U.S. Army is sending 18 remote-controlled robotic soldiers called
SWORDS (Special Weapons Observation Reconnaissance Detection Systems) to
Iraq, but they are not the autonomous killer robots of science fiction: a
SWORDS robot shoots only when its human operator presses a button (after
identifying a target on video shot by the robot's cameras). Jim Lowrie,
president of Perceptek, one of the firms developing robotics systems for the
military, says: "For the foreseeable future, there always will be a person
in the loop who makes the decision on friend or foe. That's a hard problem
to determine autonomously." (Washington Post 24 Jan 2005)

LONG LIVE THE LAPTOP!
We've apparently entered the age of laptops: during the past holiday
season U.S. retail stores sold 24% more laptops than during the same period
in 2003, whereas desktop computers fell 7% in the same period. The report
comes from research company Current Analysis. Intel vice president Mooly
Eden provides confirming data: "Between 2001 and 2004, we more than doubled
the amount of notebooks in the market. Between 2004 and 2008, we believe the
market will double again." (USA Today 23 Jan 2005)

PEW STUDY FINDS SEARCHER MISPERCEPTIONS
A new study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project has found
that only 1 in 6 users of Internet search engines can tell the difference
between unbiased search results and paid advertisements. All of the major
search engines return a mix of regular results (based solely on relevance to
the search terms entered) and sponsored links (for which a Web site had paid
advertising fees). Only 38% of Web searchers are aware of the distinction,
and of those only 47% can always tell which are paid -- even though they're
usually labeled by the search engines. PEW researcher Deborah Fallows says:
"We're still in the infancy of the Internet. People are still kind of so
pleased that they can go there, ask for something and get an answer that
it's kind of not on their radar screen to look in a very scrutinizing way to
see what's in the background there." (AP 24 Jan 2005)

MICROSOFT: SOFTWARE FIXES AREN'T FOR PIRATES
[Microsoft will now require a network connection to your computer?]
[Of course, the highly security conscious people at the Fortune 500
won't be subjected to this. . .or will they?]
Microsoft will soon be requiring that Windows XP users verify that
their copy of the software is genuine before they'll be able to receive
"greater reliability, faster access to updates, and richer user
experiences." Although users of pirated copies of Windows will still be able
get security patches, they won't be able to get other enhancements to
Windows. The company will be expanding a trial authentication program it
began last fall, and will make mandatory in mid-2005 for all users seeking
to access software updates, downloads and security fixes for Windows.

TEEN SUED BY APPLE GETS FREE HELP FROM LAWYER
San Francisco lawyer Terry Gross, a specialist in freedom of speech and
the Internet, will defend 19-year-old Nicholas Ciarelli against a lawsuit
brought by Apple charging the Harvard freshman and Web publisher revealing
Apple trade secrets on his Web site, www.ThinkSecret.com. Gross, whose
services will be given on a pro bono basis, says that his client used proper
news-gathering techniques and deserves First Amendment protection.

THOUSANDS OF LAPTOPS, CELL PHONES LEFT IN CABS
A new survey estimates that 11,300 laptops, 31,400 handheld devices and
200,000 mobile phones were left in taxis around the world during the
last six months. The survey, which polled some 1,000 taxi drivers and
extrapolated from there, indicates that four out of five cell phones and 19
out of 20 laptops were returned to their owners eventually. Geographically,
Chicagoans were most likely to leave a handheld device in a cab, while
Londoners were more careless than others with their laptops. Danes seemed
to be most likely to forget their cell phones. Other items reportedly left
in cabs include a harp, dentures, artificial limbs and a baby.

CARNIVORE IS DEAD
According to two recent reports to Congress, the FBI has put an end to
its electronic surveillance tool, known as Carnivore. Despite claims
from federal officials that they need expanded access to electronic
communications, the system was widely criticized by civil liberties
groups as being overly invasive and for not respecting individuals'
privacy. The reports, which the Electronic Privacy Information Center
obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, note that the FBI did
not use the system for fiscal years 2002 and 2003 and instead used
commercially available monitoring software. According to the reports,
the FBI engaged in court-ordered Internet surveillance 13 times during
those years.

*HEADLINE NEWS AVOIDED BY MOST OF THE MAJOR U.S. MEDIA
Turnout in this week's elections in Iraq appear as if
it will be surprisingly small.
*STRANGE QUOTE OF THE WEEK
"The Iraqis want to vote, they want to
particpate in democracy." George W. Bush
Strange in light of the the 7% registration
in the US mentioned below, particularly as
compared to a world wide 14% registration.
*PREDICTIONS OF THE WEEK
Iraq locals will say the newly elected government
is merely a puppet created by the United States,
particularly if there is only a voter registration
of a small minority and/or actual votes cast.
*ODD STATISTICS OF THE WEEK
Only 7% of Iraqi citizens in the United States have
registered to vote in this week's elections, though
registration dates have been extended.
*
Most of you have probably seen something like this:
"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.
