Security software developer Pandora Corp. has launched a new program for K-12 called "PC Pandora's Safe Schools." Through the program, schools and districts can receive free software designed to monitor and control student activities on their computers.
The program will provide $100,000 worth of Pandora software (PC Pandora) to individual school districts in the United States and $10,000 worth of software to private and charter schools. The aim of the program, according to Pandora, is to keep students "safe from online predators and cyberbullying and keep ... school machines safe from illegal file sharing."
PC Pandora is a desktop application that provides monitoring and control functionality for teachers and parents and also incorporates filtering and blocking features for banned websites and file sharing applications.
In order to receive the software, district administrators need to request it (via the link below) and provide an IT liaison to coordinate the installation. Pandora will provide the IT liaison with download links and activation codes, as well as a tutorial on the software. PC Pandora is only available for Windows-based systems.

International Edition
Editor's note: Stephen Prothero, a Boston University religion scholar and author of "The American Bible: How Our Words Unite, Divide, and Define a Nation," is a regular CNN Belief Blog contributor.
By Stephen Prothero, Special to CNN
(CNN) –China Daily, an English-language newspaper and a mouthpiece of the Chinese government, last week published an article called "Western Voices Question Tibetan Self-Immolation Acts."
The first of the voices quoted was mine—for a Belief Blog piece I wrote last summer criticizing the Dalai Lama for averting his gaze from the spate of self-immolations protesting Chinese rule in Tibet. "If the Dalai Lama were to speak out unequivocally against these deaths, they would surely stop. So in a very real sense, their blood is on his hands," I wrote in a passage quoted in the Chinese Daily piece.
In my post, I wrote of an "epidemic of self-immolations," noting that from mid-March to mid-July 2011 more than 40 Tibetans had set themselves on fire to protest the Chinese occupation of Tibet. Since then, the pace of these protests has accelerated. According to the International Campaign for Tibet, 94 Tibetans have set themselves on fire since March 2011, and the pace in November was nearly one a day.
I continue to be opposed to suicide as a political strategy, whether it takes one life or many, whether it takes place in Tibet, Sri Lanka or Iraq, and whether it is performed by Buddhists, Hindus or Muslims.
Follow the CNN Belief Blog on Twitter
I also continue to disagree with the voluminous e-mails I received from activists around the world attempting to justify self-immolation as self-defense, a necessary response to Chinese atrocities. I am particularly troubled by the refusal of Tibetan Buddhist leaders to denounce the political suicides of teenagers. (One of the most recent self-immolations was of a 16-year-old girl, Wanchen Kyi, who died on December 9.)
Nonetheless, it is disconcerting to see one's words used by Chinese officials to justify the atrocities it has been visiting on Tibet for generations. So I hope any further quotations by China Daily of my writing will note that I agree with Catherine Ashton, the European Union's representative for foreign affairs and security policy, who called on China last week to address the "deep-rooted causes of frustration" among the Tibetan people, and to act to ensure both their political rights and the right to practice their religion and preserve their unique culture.
In the 19th century, various American political and religious leaders vowed to put an end to a minority religion and culture that troubled their Christian sensibilities. In 1838, Missouri Gov. Lilburn Boggs issued an executive order, stating that "the Mormons must be treated as enemies and must be exterminated or driven from the state." In 1884, a Tennessee preacher gave a commencement speech arguing (in the words of one witness) that the "strong arm of government should be employed to wipe from the face of civilization every Latter-day Saint in Utah, men, women, and children."
What the world has witnessed in Tibet (when it is not looking away) is an effort to do just that to Tibetan Buddhists.
When I criticized the Dalai Lama for his silence on the self-immolations, I should have criticized the Chinese government even more forcefully, for carrying out a policy of cultural genocide in Tibet. I should have criticized President Obama as well, for failing to speak out as eloquently against human rights abuses in Tibet as he has against the ongoing atrocities in a variety of countries in the Middle East and North Africa.
CNN's Belief Blog: The faith angles behind the biggest stories
I recognize that the Dalai Lama is in a difficult spot here. The Buddhist tradition he represents stands against self-killing, yet his Tibetan people are running out of ways to mobilize international sentiment to pressure Chinese leaders. Nonetheless, I continue to believe that he should speak out plainly against self-immolations in Tibet.
But that is only part of the problem. The bigger part, of course, are the atrocities of the Chinese.
As a scholar of religion, I am particularly concerned about the liberty of Tibetans to practice their Buddhist traditions, a liberty abridged when the Chinese burned thousands of monasteries and nunneries in Tibet. As a human being, I am horrified by ongoing Chinese efforts to exterminate the Tibetans' culture and language, and to refuse to the Tibetan people their human rights, including the right to self-determination.
So quote me on my disagreements with the Dalai Lama, if you will. But be sure to add this: The biggest moral outrage in Tibet today is the behavior of the Chinese government.

Einstein letter, set for auction, shows scientist challenging idea of God, being 'chosen'
By Jessica Ravitz, CNN
Decades before atheist scientist and author Richard Dawkins called God a "delusion," one world-renowned physicist – Albert Einstein – was weighing in on faith matters with his own strong words.
"The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still primitive legends," Einstein wrote in German in a 1954 letter that will be auctioned on eBay later this month. "No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this."

Will America return the land to Native America – Indians?
Not a fan of the Beijing government, but this isn't about the government anymore. This is about the history and the truth. You guys keep talking about "invading" Tibet. May I point out that Tibet was already part of China's territory as early as the Mid 13th century? You also says something like "cultural genocide"? Seriously, have you ever been to Tibet or even been to China? If you haven't, please go to the bank and exchange a 100-RMB note. Look the note, you'll find the language of Tibet on it. See? Tibetans are free to speak their language, perform their religious rutuals. We don't have any problem with that. If you mean providing them with more education oppurtunities and giving them more economical favors are "invading their culture", then most countries in the world are doing the same thing to their own less developed regions.
Dalai Lama is a liar. He wants anything but freedom. During his regime in Tibet, he was actually carrying out slavery. Now he figures that the word "freedom" would definitely earn him sympathy world-wide, he suddenly becomes a "fighter" for freedom. So don't even expect Tibet to be a better place with Dalai Lama being there.
Now enough talk about China, let's talk about US history. Hmm, can anyone here tell me how many states the United States had when it first established? 13? Perhaps. But now? 50? Mexico has something to say I guess? Cultural genocide, huh? Aemrican Indians, they also have something to say perhaps.
Dalai requires despotism instead of freedom. Tibetan folks are seduced to give the subsidy from government to him and his accomplice. He bewitched his believers to act the self-immolation to gain sympathy from you people. China has many issues and most of us try to figure out a way. You keep complaining and condemning while we are living our lives. So, mind your own business!
I think you seriously needs more introspection into the actual reality of the Tibet issue and the sensitivity of writing about it, Some of your point are really questionable.. you need to study more on the Tibetan Self Immolations both from the Buddhist perspective and from the political perspective..
I don't think Darai Lama calls for suecide but he , rahter stopped Tibetans to do so against China. You may not understand how Tibetans and other people feel from China' s attack and control. It's very tough. They are mentally unacceptable the situation made by China.
Judging by the fact that we do not see Tibetan self-immolation recently the suppression from the Chinese government is lessened and the "situation" becomes "mentally acceptable".
So self-immolation worked.

CSG Leadership
Message from CSG'S Chair
CSG Committees
CSG Governance
CSG Regional Offices
Employment Opportunities
CSG Media Relations
(859) 244-8246
May 22, 2013
Clibborn to Co-Chair CSG Transportation Committee
LEXINGTON, Ky.--
Washington Rep. Judy Clibborn has been appointed as a co-chair of The Council of State Governments'
Transportation Public Policy Committee
for the 2013-14 biennium. The committee is designed to encourage multi-state problem solving and sharing of best practices, and to facilitate networking among state officials from all three branches of state government and between the public and private sectors.
"As we've seen in states like Washington this year, it's an important time for the future of transportation and transportation funding," said Clibborn, chair of the Washington House Transportation Committee. "I hope that over the next two years the Transportation Public Policy Committee can allow for the sharing of good ideas that are emerging around the country that can help states meet their transportation needs. I look forward to serving as co-chair during what's likely to be an eventful period for transportation at both the state and federal levels."
CSG's Transportation Public Policy Committee provides a forum for state leaders to address emerging challenges and issues arising from dynamic transportation policy conditions and changes in the states. Members of the committee focus on emerging trends, innovative and effective solutions, and viable policy positions and response projects.
The transportation committee, first created in 2008, has focused on the condition of infrastructure, the future of federal transportation and the ways states are moving forward to meet their transportation needs.
"I would expect those themes to continue over the next two years, particularly with what we've seen in state capitols during the first part of 2013 and with another federal authorization bill due next fall," said
Sean Slone
, CSG's program manager for transportation policy.
CSG's national leaders in concert with the committee's membership establish committee priorities. Those priorities in this biennium are: implementation of MAP-21, the federal transportation program; a post-MAP-21 game plan for financing transportation; new state revenues for transportation; preparedness for the Panama Canal expansion; and convincing a skeptical public about the need for transportation funding and enhancements.
Slone said states will play a significant role in implementing elements of MAP-21, such as developing performance measures for transportation projects and programs.
"I think those elements could also be part of the committee's agenda for this biennium," he said. "But I also expect that our new co-chairs will put their own imprint on the panel based on their interests and what's going on in their states."
CSG will host a Transportation Policy Academy in Portland, Ore., for a select group of about a dozen transportation legislators from across the country. Clibborn attended a previous policy academy in Washington, D.C., last year.
The Council of State Governments
is our nation's only organization serving all three branches of state government. CSG is a region-based forum that fosters the exchange of insights and ideas to help state officials shape public policy. This offers unparalleled regional, national and international opportunities to network, develop leaders, collaborate and create problem-solving partnerships.

Analysis: Campaign is full of bitter rhetoric, but appears fair and without violence.
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa – Jacob Zuma, the man who will in all likelihood be elected South Africa's next president, has been accused of corruption and rape.
Helen Zille, the white mayor of Cape Town and head of one of the main opposition parties, the Democratic Alliance, has been called a racist and a colonialist — although these charges are widely seen as unfounded.
The other main opposition party, the Congress of the People (Cope) — which made history it broke away from the African National Congress last year — seems more interested in internal wrangling than in mounting a serious campaign to be the election spoiler.
The good news is that the run-up to South Africa's national elections looks and sounds a lot like routine politics in the western world, full of venom and vituperation, and less like the brutal and bogus polls held by many other developing nations. After the bloodshed and chaos of recent elections in Kenya and Zimbabwe, for example, South Africa's exercise in democracy is cause for celebration.
When upwards of 23 million South Africans cast their votes on April 22nd, it will mark the fourth time the country has held free elections since the end of white minority rule in 1994. That these elections are expected to be generally peaceful and reflective of the will of the people is an accomplishment whose importance cannot be overstated.
Somehow, in less than a generation, a country that was once the world's pariah has transformed itself from dictatorship to democracy. Equally impressive is that fact that many citizens now view the right to vote as an ordinary almost banal fact of political life.
But these elections are extraordinary as well, because how South Africa deals with its many daunting challenges has implications far beyond its borders. With a population of nearly 50 million, the continent's biggest economy, most impressive infrastructure, and a global moral authority embodied by the country's first black President Nelson Mandela, South Africa is the continent's giant.
The first priority for the next president, which virtually all surveys show will be Jacob Zuma, will be to make progress in meeting the expectations of the underserved black majority while avoiding unduly alienating the influential white business establishment.
Maintaining a balance between the needs of a Third World population and a First World economy is very nearly impossible, but insofar as the past two administrations have had any success, it's been largely due to the skills of the longtime Finance Minister Trevor Manuel. Given the world financial slump, which is hitting South Africa hard, his talents will be critical to Zuma's new government as it looks to generate employment, address housing shortages, and help an ailing educational system produce graduates who can contribute to the economy.
With some of the world's highest rates of murder and sexual violence, as well as serious problems with drug smuggling, human trafficking, and corruption, crime is much on the minds of all South Africans. More than just a personal security issue, getting a grip on criminality is crucial to maintaining and attracting investors. Crime is also one of the main drivers of emigration, resulting in a brain drain of thousands of skilled young people each year.

All I wanted was to order a replacement cartridge for my ink-swilling HP OfficeJet 5610, standard issue. I went to the site where our company has a corporate account. Nice search feature. But I wonder how much this cartridge costs versus a competitor? Now THAT would be interesting. But 692 reviews of a product that has been on the market for years and years? And not one that says, "Don't buy it here, it is cheaper at ACMEPrint.com!"
I've been saying that an element of social networking is the working out of the logic of Marshall McLuhan's "Medium is the Message" – we cannot help but interact with media. It isn't the content. Content is the accelerant. We must look at email, SMS, Feeds, Tweets, Facebook, Salon, The Huffington Post. Resistance is futile.
I'm looking forward to a rigorous study that compares the amount of dead ending rat hole social threads, group-think, least common denominator and plain drivel on the one side with the true measurable value of the resulting 'insight' on the other. Or is it going to take another million posts to discover people want to plug the hole in their coffee cups? Now there's value.
Can anyone suggest who the best companies are at really extracting the value of networks? We have over 200 examples collected today, but they are still a small sample. And do you know of good software that helps analyze massive amounts of posts about a company that helps to detect emerging business patterns? Let me know!

The Bachelor Episode Five: Racing For Love In Sin City
The Bachelor episode five starts off with a twist. The 11 remaining girls say see ya to the mansion in LA and head to Las Vegas. Land of sin and sand, Brad wastes no time wooing his women. He checks them into a fancy schmancy hotel suite and shells out the first date card to Shawntel N.
Just a small town girl, Shawntel N. has no idea what she's in for. Brad presents her with every girls dream…a shopping spree. And not just at the local mall. We're talking Fendi, Prada and Gucci here. Brad, with an eyebrow-raising ability to channel his inner fashionista, helps Shawntel N. pick out some slamming outfits. Then, he piles about 50 bags on her shoulders and sends her back to the suite. Bad idea. Jaws drop and jealously bubbles as the other ten girls see the booty Shawntel N. has been bestowed with. Michelle cannot stand it, per usual, and mimics hanging herself. Oh, to dream…
Brad then whisks Shawntel N. off to a romantic rooftop date where she completely grosses him out by telling him about her job: that of a funeral director and embalmer. Yum! She talks about draining blood and body fluid leakage. No matter, Brad is smitten. And yes, he gives her the rose.
The next day, the group date card arrives. This one's a biggie because whichever gal doesn't get picked will be stuck with the dreaded two-on-one date where, no matter what, a girl is going home. Why He Dumped You: 5 Potential Reasons
The chosen ones then head to a Nascar racetrack for their group date. Yes, Emily is among them. And yes, this is yet another blatant attempt to try and make Emily, the single mom who lost her race car-driving fiancé in a plane crash, cry. You know, since they couldn't get the water works flowing on Emily and Brad's first date, the heartless producers just try and try again. This time, it works. While the other girls are giddy and excited, Emily is clearly distressed. The girls gussy up in their racecar gear and buckle in for a ride around the track, but they keep cutting back to Emily looking bummed. Finally Brad notices and pulls her aside where Emily confides in him that the very track they are on is the same track that her dead fiancé used to race on. Awesome. Aren't the producers just a class act? Brad feels like a jerk and Emily is, as always, totally gracious and wonderful.
Through her tears, she gets in that racecar and faces her fears. Yes, the music swelled.
At the after party at a private pool, Brad pulls Emily aside again, to the dismay of the other, highly emotional girls. Brad is worried that he won't be able to fill her ex-fiancés shoes, which crushes Emily. She tries to smooth things over, but Brad is still spooked. (He still gives her the rose.)
The next night, the two Ashleys get stuck with the two-on-one date. Brad, a self proclaimed Cirque Du Soliel fanatic, takes the girls to an Elvis inspired Cirque show. They think they're going to watch, but Brad quickly informs them that they are going to actually perform in the show! Just like Roberto and Ali did in the Lion King. (Hmm. Running out of ideas, there?)

Argentina's Lionel Messi has hat trick
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- For Lionel Messi, the amazing has become routine.
Capping his record-setting season with a spectacular display, Messi scored on three dazzling runs to finish with an unprecedented 82 goals for club and country and lead Argentina over South American rival Brazil 4-3 in an exhibition Saturday.
"It was a very good year, and this was a great way to finish it," Messi said through a translator.
Even injured Yankees pitcher Mariano Rivera found his way into Argentina's locker room after the match, which drew 81,994 at MetLife Stadium -- a record for soccer in New Jersey.
"It's beautiful that people actually recognize me and know me and love my play," Messi said. "But again, I wouldn't be where I am if it wasn't because of my teammates."
Already a three-time FIFA Player of the Year at age 24, Messi scored 73 goals in 60 games this season for Barcelona, breaking the previous European club record of 67 goals set by Bayern Munich's Gerd Mueller in 1972-73 and the world club record of 70 by Archie Stark of Bethlehem Steel in the American Soccer League in 1924-25.
Messi had nine goals in nine games for Argentina in the same span, raising his career total to 26 in 70 appearances. His goals in the 31st, 34th and 84th minutes gave him his second international hat trick and boosted his totals to 12 hat tricks this season and 22 in his career.
"I don't feel like I'm one of the best players yet," Messi said. "I want to keep growing, getting stronger and be in front of my team -- and win, of course, because when you win, everything's easier."
Brazil dominated in the first 20 minutes, and Romulo put the Selecao ahead in the 23rd from short range with a right-footed shot from 8 yards off Neymar's free kick.
Messi followed by flashing the explosive speed and technical ability that has many ranking him alongside Pele and Diego Maradona among soccer's greatest players.
Gonzolo Higuain stripped the ball from Sandro just before midfield and made a through pass to Messi. He outran defenders Bruno Uvini and Juan, took a touch and slotted in from about 15 yards.
Three minutes later, Messi exchanged passes with Angel Di Maria -- usually a rival on Real Madrid -- near the center circle, then burst in, rounded goalkeeper Rafael Cabral and scored from 10 yards.
"Amazing. Amazing. It's unbelievable," said midfielder Javier Mascherano, his teammate on Argentina and Barcelona. "He's the best player in the world, maybe one of the best players in history."
Using a mostly youthful roster ahead of the Olympics, Brazil took a 3-2 lead on goals by Oscar in the 56th and Hulk in the 72nd, the latter when goalkeeper Sergio Romero batted a corner kick right to him, but Frederico Fernandez tied it three minutes later when he headed in a corner kick by Sergio Aguero, who had just entered.
Then came a goal that will long be remembered. Messi took a pass just past midfield near the sideline, dribbled around Marcelo and cut diagonally for the goal. He took a half-dozen touches as defenders dropped back. Then, with Juan stepping up to stop Messi's run, the Argentine cut to the center and a yard shy of the arc set loose with a 23-yard rocket that went in just under the crossbar.
Messi ran to his bench and was mobbed by teammates as Rafael Cabral turned and retrieved the ball from the net with a disgusted look. It was his 26th goal in 70 games for Argentina.
"Nobody can defend again him," Albiceleste defender Pablo Zabaleta said through a translator. "He makes the difference on any team. He's incredible, the way he plays. He goes hand in hand with his team. He goes from the right, the middle, shares the ball. You can't stop him."
Barcelona lost its Champions League and Spanish league titles, but won the Club World Cup and Copa del Rey this season. Argentina, coming off a disappointing 2010 World Cup and 2011 Copa America, is in the middle of qualifying for the 2014 tournament, which will be played in Brazil.
"I'm not sure if the amount of goals made me feel better," Messi said. "Being able to finish like this against Brazil and win, I'm happy, I'm calm. I didn't ask for the ball, but they gave it to me anyway."
NOTES: While this was Messi's last formal match of the season, he has a charity game in Burkina Faso on June 16 and all-star exhibitions at Colombia (June 21) and at Miami (June 23). Argentina's Ezequiel Lavezzi and Marcelo received red cards for fighting in injury time. Lavezzi had entered in the 88th. ... Romulo and Oscar scored their first international goals. ... Argentina improved to 35-34 against Brazil with 24 ties, according to FIFA.

First, a minor point: the article's writer did not learn proper use of grammar, leaving out a necessary comma in the first sentence after "rely on" and putting the contraction "it's" [meaning it is] where he means the possessive.
A Planned Parenthood had to close. There are many other healthcare providers who do not share PP's ethical and philosophical problems.

CeBIT Open Source 2011 - Project Presentation Scentlinux
ByDuring CeBIT 2011 open source projects such as Scentlinux, a multimedia Linux distribution, will have the opportunity to showcase what is currently in active development.
Short and sweet: How would you describe your project in one or two sentences?
Scentlinux is a free Linux distribution based on Paldo, designed for creative people. The rolling distro provides users with the best mix of multimedia tools like Blender, Gimp and Inkscape as well as a clean and fast xfce-desktop.
When did the project begin?
The project was founded in 2010 and the first alpha-release was published in January 2011.
Why was the project created?
Many distributions don't use a "rolling"-concept and especially creative guys always need latest tools to create the best results for their clients. Scentlinux only uses one main "stable"-repo for all packages, a testing repo for dev's only and provides source and binary-packages. Of course the performance of the distribution is important as well, so users will get a clean and flexible xfce-desktop without any big additions.
Why should a CeBIT visitor come to your booth?
CeBIT users will see a great mix of Blender 2.5, Gimp 2.7dev and Inkscape, as well as a presentation of a production pipeline in a creative film production.
Where do you see your biggest current challenges?
There are still some problems with the package management. We have to redesign the idea of upkg to make it faster and easier to use.
Under which license is the software currently offered?
