Jewish Voice Commentary:
Seems like it's more of the same disingenuous rhetoric being disseminated by Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY). This time it's about his public intention to co-sponsor the Corker-Menendez bill which is also known as the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015. If one reads between the lines, it is clearly apparent that Schumer is still in favor of any deal that would be struck with Iran; be it good or bad. President Obama has feverishly attempted to foster a nuclear arms race by acquiescing to Iran's demands for hegemony in the region in addition to finally achieving his signature foreign policy victory. Chuck Schumer's agenda includes that of doing the nefarious bidding of the White House as it pertains to the Iranian nuclear threat and the survival of Israel. This seasoned and deft politician has not changed his stripes. He has just re-invented himself.
Senator Has Publicly Announced Support for 'Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015,' Which Requires Congressional Review of the Final Iran Agreement; Will Now Co-Sponsor Critical Legislation; Schumer Has Been a Strong Supporter for the Toughest Possible Sanctions Against Iran
Schumer: Congress Should Have a Say On Any Final Agreement With Iran—The Sanctions Regime is Crafted by Congress and The Risk of a Nuclear Iran is Far Too Important for Israel & the United States for Congress Not to Have Ability to Review a Nuclear Deal With Iran
U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer today announced he is cosponsoring the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015, which requires the President to submit the details of the Iran deal to Congress. Schumer has already publicly announced support for the legislation, which prohibits the President from suspending or reducing congressional sanctions on Iran for sixty days while Congress reviews the deal. Schumer today said that it is absolutely critical to prevent a nuclear Iran because it is an existential threat to Israel, would further destabilize an already volatile region, and is a strategic threat to the United States. Schumer explained that the bipartisan Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act, sponsored by U.S. Senator Bob Corker (R-Tenn) and Robert Menendez (D-NJ), will help ensure congressional review of the final Iran deal before it is put into place. Schumer also noted that Congress played a pivotal role in crafting the sanctions regime, which brought Iran to the bargaining table, and that changes to that regime should be reviewed by it.
"We must do everything to prevent a nuclear Iran and so any potential agreement must prevent Iran's ability to develop a nuclear weapon. Congress played a lead role in crafting the tough-and-effective sanctions regime that brought Iran to the table, and Congress should have a role on how those sanctions are altered in any final agreement with Iran. That's why I strongly support this legislation, which will give Congress the ability to weigh in on any potential Iran deal. This issue is far too important – for the United States, for Israel, for the entire Middle East – for Congress not to have any ability to review a nuclear deal with Iran," said Senator Schumer.
The Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015 requires congressional review of the Iran agreement. Specifically, within five days of concluding a deal with Iran, the President must submit the text of the agreement to Congress. In addition, the legislation says that the President is prohibited from suspending, waiving or reducing congressional sanctions for sixty days. During this period, Congress may hold hearings and approve, disapprove or take no action on the agreement. Lastly, after the congressional review period, the President would be required to assess Iran's compliance with the agreement every ninety days.
Schumer is also a co-sponsor of the Nuclear Weapon Free Iran Act of 2015. Schumer has said that if Iran cannot come to a strong deal by negotiation deadline, additional pressure is needed on the Iranian regime with more sanctions.

HoopsHype Aaron Gordon rumors
Josh Robbins: Aaron Gordon will remain on the road trip & will be evaluated by a specialist after the #Magic return form Michigan. Twitter @JoshuaBRobbins
Marc J. Spears: Magic rookie F Aaron Gordon, who fractured his left foot, is expected to see a foot specialist in Charlotte this week to get full analysis, Twitter @SpearsNBAYahoo
Diamond Leung: Orlando Magic rookie Aaron Gordon out indefinitely with fifth metatarsal fracture in left foot. Twitter @diamond83
John Denton: Overriding feeling being around @Orlando Magic F @Aaron Gordon for some time now: He's the most mature 19-yr-old I've met in long time. Twitter @JohnDenton555
Drew, a 24-year-old journeyman hoping to make the Sixers' roster, and Aaron, a 19-year-old prized rookie for the Magic, were on the same court together at the NBA level on Saturday night in Allentown, Pa. The two were first on the floor together late in the first quarter, but weren't guarding each other because of their position differences. Saturday's game marked a moment that the two highly competitive brothers have dreamed of and discussed since they used to battle in the backyard of their San Jose, Calif., home years ago. Drew got the upper hand on Saturday, scoring 16 points and grabbing six rebounds in Philadelphia's 95-84 defeat of the Magic. Aaron, who played extended minutes the night before in a defeat of Detroit, played just five minutes on Saturday and did not score. ``I'm really proud of (Drew) because he's going through a lot of trials in his life and to see him out there with a NBA jersey on, it means a lot to me,'' Aaron said. NBA.com
Gordon likely will collect most of his points this season in the same fashion: by running the floor and through hustle plays. What excites Magic executives and coaches, though, is Gordon's skill as a defender. They regard him as a potential lockdown defender on the wing, and they love that Gordon views himself that way, too. Team officials believe a youngster's shooting can be developed. Orlando Sentinel
What do you expect from Aaron Gordon? Jacque Vaughn: He's a great addition to the culture that we have. We're really about having unselfish guys. He's a defensive-minded guy, who has a great athletic ability. He'll grow on the offensive end of the floor. He's a guy who will come to work every day and that's what we're looking for. HoopsHype
Jeff Goodman: Jabari Parker went with Jordan Brand -- and Aaron Gordon and Julius Randle headed the Nike route. Twitter @GoodmanESPN
The Orlando Magic have signed rookie forward Aaron Gordon and rookie guard Elfrid Payton, General Manager Rob Hennigan announced today. Per team policy, terms of the deals are not disclosed. Gordon was selected by Orlando in the first round (fourth overall) of the 2014 NBA Draft. Payton was selected by Philadelphia in the first round (tenth overall) of the 2014 NBA Draft. He was then acquired by Orlando in exchange for the draft rights to Dario Saric, a future first round draft pick and a future second round draft pick. Both will participate in the 2014 Southwest Airlines Orlando Pro Summer League, taking place at the Magic's practice court at the Amway Center from July 5-11. NBA.com
Josh Robbins: Magic have signed Aaron Gordon & Elfrid Payton. Their contracts will be at 120% of their draft slots' rookie-scale amounts. Twitter @JoshuaBRobbins
Steve Kyler: House keeping... Magic sign both Aaron Gordon & Elfrid Payton to rookie contracts, both will play in Orland Summer League starting Saturday. Twitter @stevekylerNBA
Michael Scotto: League source says the Orlando Magic are keeping Aaron Gordon after drafting him No. 4 overall. "He was our guy all the time." #NBADraft Twitter @MikeAScotto
Alex Kennedy: Aaron Gordon said he was surprised that Orlando picked him. He found out five minutes before the pick. He said his workout there was great. Twitter @AlexKennedyNBA
Alex Kennedy: Aaron Gordon said his sister, who just graduated from Harvard, was first to point out that he's fortunate there's no state income tax in ORL Twitter @AlexKennedyNBA
Adrian Wojnarowski: The Orlando Magic will select Aaron Gordon with the No. 4 pick in the NBA Draft, league source tells Yahoo Sports. Twitter @WojYahooNBA
Jody Genessy: Some believe Jazz will take Aaron Gordon or Noah Vonleh (assuming Embiid/Exum are off board) ahead of Marcus Smart. Decisions, decisions. Twitter @DJJazzyJody
The top 10 picks in the NBA draft could include the selection of three power forwards in Vonleh, Arizona's Aaron Gordon and Kentucky's Julius Randle. Vonleh is expected to be selected first among those three power forwards while Gordon is not expected to drop any later than the eighth selection from the Sacramento Kings, sources said. Gordon and Randle have also worked out twice for the Los Angeles Lakers, who have the seventh pick. Yahoo! Sports

Report: Apple To Unveil "Smart Home" System 174
from the ask-the-house dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Honestly I just do NOT see why anyone would ever want to have their own so crazily wired into the internet. What could you possibly ever use it for? I LOVE technology but I can't for the LIFE of me see why this is even remotely appeasing. Yeah, sure there are security applications. But you'll still probably be buying some expensive service to run it. Why in the HELL would you even WANT to wire up your blinder, oven, or washing machine into the friggin' internet? Given the general price tag attached to Apple gear you'll be having to pay a third again higher price for these features.
And hey... how about we talk about SECURITY? We've recent had an example of a hacker getting into a homes network. Using a baby monitor linked to the net to SCREAM at a sleeping baby. The more ways you connect your home to the internet the more likely you're going to leave yourself REALLY exploded to malicious actions.
... to buy a light bulb, come home and read the small text on the box that says: "works with Apple devices only".
We *must* use open standards here and not let Google, Apple or whoever infiltrate our houses any further. But looking at how easily folks sell their soul to Apple or Google (Android), I'm not holding my breath. Next time you buy a house, you'll have to decide Apple, Google or Microsoft...
So I'll have to rewire my house every couple of years when they change from one proprietary cable standard to another?
iPod: Firewire. Buy lots of firewire connectors.
Newer iPod/iPhone: Dock connector. Toss all of your firewire accessories and move to dock connectors.
Newer iPhones: Lightning connector. Toss all of your dock connector accessories, move to lightning.
Everyone else gets to stick with USB that doesn't carry a $10 premium per cable/device because Apple just invented another proprietary standard.

Adam Levine better get Blake Shelton to defend him! While taking over co-hosting duties and filling in for Willie Geist on the "Today" show Thursday, Aug. 1, Carson Daly poked fun at the Maroon 5 frontman's recent surprise engagement to Victoria's Secret supermodel Behati Prinsloo.
PHOTOS: Celebrity weddings in 2013
"I mean, it's just so funny -- he's dated the entire Victoria's Secret catalog!" the 40-year-old "Voice" host joked. After getting prompted to explain by "Today" co-host Savannah Guthrie, Daly backtracked and said how genuinely happy he is for his "Voice" friend and costar.
PHOTOS: 'The Voice' mentors, then and now
Though all in fun, Daly makes a point. Before getting betrothed to Prinsloo, 24 -- just a few months after a brief split -- Levine dated several other models. The "One More Night" singer called it quits with Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Anne Vyalitsyna in April 2012 after two years together. He also briefly dated 21-year-old supermodel Nina Agdal for one month before rekindling his relationship with Prinsloo.
PHOTOS: Best celebrity engagement rings of all time
The "Payphone" singer and South African-born Prinsloo began dating in May 2012 and have since stepped out together in L.A. following their engagement announcement. "It was a surprise," the brunette beauty told Us Weekly at the July 18 Victoria's Secret fragrance launch party in New York. "It hasn't even sunk in yet! Last night, I forgot I slept with my ring on. I woke up and went, 'Oh, hello!'"

New federal education fund makes available $2 billion to create OER resources in community colleges
The Department of Labor and the Department of Education today announced a new education fund that will grant $2 billion to create OER materials for career training programs in community colleges. According to Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis and Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, the Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training Grant Program (TAACCCT) will invest $2 billion over the next four years into grants that will "provide community colleges and other eligible institutions of higher education with funds to expand and improve their ability to deliver education and career training programs." The full program announcement (PDF) states that all the resources created using these funds must be released under the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license:
In order to further the goal of career training and education and encourage innovation in the development of new learning materials, as a condition of the receipt of a Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training Grant ("Grant"), the Grantee will be required to license to the public (not including the Federal Government) all work created with the support of the grant ("Work") under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License ("License"). This License allows subsequent users to copy, distribute, transmit and adapt the copyrighted work and requires such users to attribute the work in the manner specified by the Grantee. Notice of the License shall be affixed to the Work. For more information on this License, please visit http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0.
The program supports President Obama's goal of having the highest proportion of college graduates in the world by 2020 by helping to increase the number of workers who attain degrees, certificates, and other industry-recognized credentials. The first round of funding will be $500 million over the next year. Applications to the solicitation are now open, and will be due April 21, 2011.
Cathy Casserly, incoming CEO of Creative Commons, said, "This exciting program signifies a massive leap forward in the sharing of education and training materials. Resources licensed under CC BY can be freely used, remixed, translated, and built upon, and will enable collaboration between states, organizations, and businesses to create high quality OER. This announcement also communicates a commitment to international sharing and cooperation, as the materials will be available to audiences worldwide via the CC license."
Beth Noveck, professor of law and former U.S. Deputy Chief Technology Officer and Director of the White House Open Government Initiative, said, "The decision to make the work product of $2 billion in federally funded grants free for others to reuse represents a historic step forward for open education. The Departments of Labor and Education are to be congratulated for adopting more open grantmaking practices to ensure that taxpayer money funds the widest possible distribution of this important job-training courseware."
Congratulations to The Department of Labor, The Department of Education, and others involved in crafting this important, innovative program. Creative Commons is committed to leveraging this opportunity to create a multiplier effect for public dollars to be used on open, reuseable quality content.
Where new learning materials are created using grant funds, those materials must be made available under CC BY. However, it is not a requirement that all the TAACCCT grant funds be spent on the creation of learning materials. We've also updated the title of this post to reflect this clarification, which before read U.S. Department of Labor and Department of Education commit $2-billion to create open educational resources for community colleges and career training.
Second Addendum:

CC Talks With: The Right to Research Coalition's Nick Shockey: Open Education and Policy
Nick Shockey is the Director of the Right to Research Coalition (R2RC) and the Director of Student Advocacy at the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition (SPARC). The R2RC is an international alliance of 31 graduate and undergraduate student organizations, representing nearly 7 million students, that promotes an open scholarly publishing system based on the belief that no student should be denied access to the research they need for their education because their institution cannot afford the often high cost of scholarly journals. We spoke to Nick about similarities in the open access and open educational resources movements, the worldwide student movement in support of access to scholarly research, and the benefits of adopting Creative Commons tools for open access literature.
Nick Shockey by Right To Research Coalition / CC BY
"It all started in a hotel room in Paris," explains Shockey, who while studying abroad at Oxford and on a brief trip to France happened to catch a CNN special about MIT's OpenCourseWare (OCW) program. Nick was immediately impressed by the idea of OCW, and upon his return to Trinity University campaigned to get his school to implement a similar program. For a number of reasons, OCW didn't catch on at Trinity, but the experience Shockey gained in advocating for it provided him with two crucial pieces that led to his work at SPARC: a deep interest in opening up the tools of education, and an introduction to Diane Graves, Trinity's University Librarian and then SPARC Steering Committee member. Shockey began advocating for open access to research at Trinity, and convinced the student government to pass a resolution supporting the Federal Research Public Access Act (FRPAA), as well as a later resolution endorsing the Student Statement on the Right to Research. The statement calls for students, researchers, universities, and research funders to make academic research openly available to all. These principles formed the foundation for what was to become the Right to Research Coalition.
Growth of R2RC
In the summer after Shockey moved to Washington D.C., he was able to add new signatories to the Student Statement on the Right to Research, including the National Association of Graduate-Professional Students (NAGPS) and the National Graduate Caucus of the Canadian Federation of Students. It soon became clear that a larger impact could be made by organizing as a coalition that actively advocated for and educated students about open access, and Nick joined SPARC full time to lead the Right to Research Coalition.
R2RC has grown to include 31 member organizations and now represents nearly 7 million students worldwide. "The incredible diversity of our membership speaks to how important access to research is to students," says Shockey. R2RC's members range in size from groups with less than a hundred students to organizations with more than a million. But Nick notes that all the member groups have two things in common: they believe students should have the benefit of the full scholarly record (not just the fraction they or their institution can afford), and they recognize that the Internet has made unfettered access possible by driving down the marginal cost to distribute knowledge virtually to zero.
Federal open access advocacy
SPARC and the Right to Research Coalition have been supportive of the Federal Research Public Access Act (FRPAA), a law which would require 11 U.S. government agencies with annual output research expenditures over $100 million to make manuscripts of journal articles stemming from research funded by that agency publicly available via the Internet. While FRPAA didn't pass in 2010, Shockey's very happy with the remarkable progress made, which culminated last year in the Congressional hearing on the issue of public access to federally funded research. Shockey, colleague Julia Mortyakova, and R2RC members have been advocating in support of FRPAA in various ways, such as letter-writing campaigns and in-person office visits. Shockey estimates his membership has reached out to well over two hundred Congressional offices.
Student support for OA around the world
Shockey describes that the current situation of limited access to academic research is a widespread problem that affects students all around the world. But, he explains that the real difference isn't between the United States and the rest of the world, but between the developed and the developing world. "Paying $30 for access to one article is expensive even for many researchers in the U.S.," says Nick, "but when you realize that $30 is an entire average month's wage in Malawi, you can see the huge disparities in access faced by huge swaths of people around the world."
At the end of last summer, R2RC began a concerted effort to expand their coalition to incorporate international student groups, and launched their Access Around the World blog series to feature stories and activities from students across the globe. In fall 2010, Shockey pitched the importance for student access to scholarly research to the European Medical Students' Association's General Assembly in Athens and the European Students' Conference in Berlin. "The students understood the issue right away and have gotten involved immediately," says Nick. The President of the European Medical Students' Association has already made a presentation on Open Access and the R2RC at a major international medical conference, and just this month, the coalition welcomed the International Federation of Medical Students' Associations (IFMSA), the world's largest medical student organization, which operates in 97 countries around the world.
Access is crippled by cost; OA enables novel downstream benefits
The high cost to users to access academic journals and educational materials is a criticism shared by advocates of open access (OA) and open educational resources (OER). Scholarly journal prices have increased at 200% the level of inflation, similar to that of college textbook prices. Shockey believes that the that the greatest value of open access is to help knock down the prohibitive barriers that high prices pose to individual users. "A singe U.S. university we studied spent about $900,000 for only 96 journal subscriptions–and that was at a well-funded school," says Shockey. "At less wealthy institutions, or those in the developing world, the price barriers often prove insurmountable. Students and researchers must make do with what their school can afford rather than what they need."
Nick explains that through open access, the entire scholarly record could be available for anyone to read and build upon, leading to innumerable public benefits. But he's most excited by the uses of open access scholarship we can't even think of at the moment. "Lawrence Lessig points out that the real 'secret sauce' of the Internet is that you don't need anyone's permission to innovate on it," says Shockey, "and I believe open access will finally bring this ability to academic research." Nick describes a world of open access in which researchers will not only be able to read any article, but also be permitted to perform semantic text mining to uncover trends no one person could discover and connect together. But for this promise to be fulfilled, he reinforces that researchers need access to the entire scholarly record, not just a selected subset, and the rights necessary to reuse these articles in new and interesting ways.
Open access and Creative Commons
Shockey explained that Creative Commons plays a crucial role within the OA movement by providing a standard suite of prepackaged open content licenses. "To make an obvious point," he said, "very few researchers are also copyright lawyers, and the CC licenses make it simple for scholars and journals to make their articles openly available. CC also helps prevents a patchwork system where it's unclear which uses are allowed and which are not." Nick notes that this sort of ambiguity can be very harmful–particularly to reuse of content, so it's important that the open access community leverages CC to ensure access and communicate rights.
Shockey says that the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license has become the gold standard for open access journals. In general, scholars want recognition for their work, and the CC BY license ensures attribution to the author while allowing anyone to read, download, copy, print, distribute, and reuse their work without restriction. Shockey notes that several studies have shown a strong increase in article views and citations when an article is made openly available. "This makes intuitive sense," Nick says. "If an article is available for more people to read and build upon, it's unsurprising that it will also tend to be cited more often. Given the importance of citation counts in academic advancement, the citation increase can be an important benefit that flows from open licensing."
OA support via the university
Open access (and increasingly, OER) initiatives at universities have been promoted in part through the university library. For example, at some schools librarians help educate faculty and students about the options available to them for scholarly publishing, including administering the Scholar's Copyright Addendum. Shockey thinks that the library is a natural central organizing venue for OA and OER work, and meshes well with the library's fundamental mission to provide their community with access to the educational resources they need. Nick also noted that libraries are perfectly positioned to play an OA/OER organizing role because they are one of the only institutions that reaches every department and every member of the campus community. Shockey said that some libraries have already taken the lead by supporting initiatives such as the Compact for Open-Access Publishing Equity (COPE), which sets aside money to pay for the publication fees that some open access journals charge, in order to help transition to an open model.
OA and OER working together
Open access advocates argue that access to scholarly literature should not be limited to scientists and academics, but available to patients, parents, students at all levels, entrepreneurs, and others. Shockey believes that since the OA and OER movements are both working to enable free access to the tools of education, it's important to explore the ways in which these movements can work together. Even though the R2RC is centered on open access, it's begun to weave OER into its messaging alongside open data and open science. Nick thinks it's important for R2RC members to see the larger network in which they work. "When we hit roadblocks in one area," said Shockey, "there are often opportunities in others, and advancing one of these pieces (be it OA, OER, open data, open video, etc) opens the door for further progress in other areas. Furthermore, once you've convinced someone about one of these issues, be it a friend, colleague, or the U.S. Congress, it's much easier to engage them on the others."
Shockey is optimistic with regard to the future of the student open access movement, but stresses the need to move ahead with the clear vision that advancements in education, science, and scholarship require access to raw research materials. "We must always remember what it is we're fighting for," said Shockey, "academic research is the raw material upon which not only education but also scientific and scholarly advancement depend. When we allow these crucial resources to be locked away, it hinders the entire mission of the Academy – student learning suffers, scholarly research is impeded, and scientific discoveries are slowed." Nick says that widespread open access promises to benefit science and scholarship in radical ways that are almost unimaginable today. "Open access will improve how we teach, learn, and solve problems in ways that are impossible within a closed system."
While there are many ways to get involved with the Open Access movement, Shockey stressed that the most important was simply to learn about this issue of access to research and start conversations with friends, colleagues, mentors, and students to raise awareness. The R2RC website has an individual version of their Student Statement on the Right to Research open for anyone to sign, as well as a host of other education and advocacy resources for those interested in Open Access.Comments Off
An Island: CC-Licensed Film, Public-Private Screenings Announced
Music and film lovers take note – An Island, a beautiful new film by Vincent Moon featuring Danish band Efterklang, is very quickly nearing public release. A new teaser for the film was released today along with an announcement describing the "Private-Public Screenings" of the film:
Efterklang and Vincent Moon welcome all our listeners and followers to host their own screenings of An Island.
We call these screenings Private-Public Screenings and the rules are very simple.
- The screenings need to have free entrance
- The screenings need to be public.
- The screenings need to have a minimum capacity of 5 people
- The screenings need to be verified by Efterklang & Vincent Moon and only screenings that are featured on www.anisland.cc are official Private-Public Screenings
Moon and Efterkland hope to create "a free and inspiring distribution method for [the] film" – as such, An Island is CC BY-NC-SA licensed (like all of Moon's current work), allowing the free sharing and reuse of the film for non-commercial purposes.

ePSIplatform Blog Series on Creative Commons and Public Sector Information
The following is cross-posted from the blog of the European Public Sector Information Platform (ePSIplatform). ePSIplatform is a comprehensive portal showcasing research and projects working to stimulate and promote public sector information (PSI) re-use and open data initiatives in Europe. Creative Commons is pleased to contribute a series of blog posts discussing the role of CC tools for use in public sector information.
Creative Commons' (CC) suite of licenses and public domain tools have set a global standard for legally facilitating maximum re-use of information, where re-use (access, collaboration, dissemination, follow-on innovations, business and community ecosystems, etc.) of information is desired — as has particularly been the case with public sector information (PSI).
This ought to be of little surprise, as open licensing is completely aligned with the interests of governments in encouraging re-use of PSI, as expressed in EU Directive 2003/98/EC and similarly around the world. More broadly, there is great interest in open licenses for publicly funded information, including various kinds of cultural, educational, and research information. Across these broad categories stakeholders have realized again and again that if rights statements are confusing or not present, re-use of information will be suboptimal. Implementing CC is the solution.
In this short blog series, we will not describe the basics of the CC license suite and public domain tools, nor their burgeoning adoption by governments throughout Europe and around the world–follow the links for a review.
Instead, for the expert ePSIplatform readership (many thanks to ePSIplatform for the opportunity) we will highlight some useful "things you may not know" and point out some "things you might think you know, but are incorrect" about legal and technical aspects of CC tools — ones particularly pertinent to PSI adoption that have surfaced repeatedly in discussions CC and institutions in our global affiliate network have had with governments and publicly funded institutions, including in the course of providing implementation assistance for governments seeking to share. Following are some of the things we'll discuss briefly in upcoming posts:
While all CC licenses require attribution, it is built in a sophisticated and flexible manner: non-endorsement, right to request removal of attribution, attribution to a publisher or funder, appropriate to medium, attribution links, and technical support for making attribution easier and more useful.
How the CC0 public domain dedication works robustly across jurisdictions, including its minimal license fallback that effectively works like our attribution-only license, and how the same technology that makes attribution under our licenses easier and more useful also makes non-legally-mandated citation of public domain materials also easier and more useful.
Jurisdiction and CC licenses: how that works legally (all CC tools are designed to apply worldwide). Also the leadership role of CC affiliate network jurisdiction projects in PSI.
How CC0 and CC licenses are being used for data (both are used extensively for PSI); also how they treat sui generis rights (separately, CC will be issuing an in-depth contemporary statement on this topic in the near future), what this means for PSI, and related improvements we're exploring for an eventual version 4.0 of the CC license suite.
We are also developing a topic report on PSI and CC tools, to be published at the conclusion of this series. The report will include references to much of the excellent material published on PSI and CC over the last several years.
Feel free to leave a comment on this post if you have burning questions about the items above, or requests for other points to be covered in this series or the topic report. As always, if you have questions about CC licenses and public domain tools, we hope you'll come to the source for the official story.Comments Off
CC Website Changes
If you watch our website carefully, you'll notice a few changes today. Some of those changes are small, and some are fairly significant, and we'll be making more changes later in 2011.
We're making these changes because we've received feedback — from our community of users, friends, supporters, and more — that the current set of web properties we have here at Creative Commons isn't working as well as it could. Our websites have always emphasized using Creative Commons tools, or finding Creative Commons-licensed works. But we haven't always made it easy to understand exactly how we are making possible the full potential of the internet via open licensing.
Today's changes mark the first step towards fixing that problem.
The first change you'll notice is that we're putting learning about CC into a featured spot on the home page, right next to where you can choose a license for your works.
Another change is that we are making it easy to see that we work across culture, education, and science, instead of putting those as links in a sidebar or even onto different domains, as we have done in the past with education and science. On each of those pages, we put in a "carousel" of users and implementations that draw on our growing repository of CC case studies. All of our work is global across all three domains, so we've also updated and prominently feature our international affiliates network page.
Regarding science, we're redirecting the old Science Commons front page to http://creativecommons.org/science. This is part of our comprehensive integration of science into the core of Creative Commons — on a par with culture and education. We're still figuring out exactly how to migrate all of the content inside the sciencecommons.org domain, so for now we're leaving that content up and linking to it from the new page.
We made it easier to find and learn about the licenses themselves, and we made our vision and mission explicit on the About Creative Commons page.
Last, we put a "fat footer" into place at the bottom, so that visitors and experienced CC users could rapidly access key parts of the site without having to dig around and click around in a site map.
This is just the beginning of the process. We're working on a much more complete site redesign as part of our strategic plan for 2011, but we wanted to get these fixes implemented immediately. For those of you following CC's progress over the long term, note that our previous significant website refresh came nearly two years ago. We will be tracking the impact of the changes through our website analytics, and we welcome feedback on how you use the site, what you'd like to see, and how you think we can make our website more effective throughout the course of the year.3 Comments »
CC REL by Example
The following is cross-posted from the CC Labs blog. Creative Commons technical team blogs at CC Labs about metadata, emerging standards, demos, prototypes, and Creative Commons' technical infrastructure.
You may have noticed that the copy-and-paste HTML you get from the CC license chooser includes some strange attributes you're probably not familiar with. That is RDFa metadata, and it allows for the CC license deeds, search engines, Open Attribute, and other tools to discover metadata about your work and generate attribution HTML. Many platforms have implemented CC REL metadata in their CC license marks, such as Connexions and Flickr, and it's our recommended way to mark works with a CC license.
In an effort to make CC license metadata (or CC REL metadata) much easier to implement, we've created CC REL by Example. It includes many example HTML pages, as well as explanations and links to more information.
We're hoping this guide will serve as a useful set of examples for developers and publishers who want to publish metadata for CC licensed works. Even if you just use CC licenses for your own content, now is a great time to take a first step into structured data and include information about how you'd like to be attributed.
You can find the source to the guide in git. Feedback and suggestions can be sent to email@example.com Off
Nature Publishing Group Announces New Open Access Journal and Support for CC!
Nature Publishing Group has long been a leader in scientific and medical publishing. The company's flagship publication, Nature, has been publishing across a broad range of scientific disciplines since 1869 and is the world's most cited interdisciplinary journal. In the past several years, Timo Hannay as head of web publishing and Annette Thomas as CEO of MacMillian (NPG's parent company) successfully brought NPG into the digital age with a wide variety of new scientific journals and projects that leverage the power of the Internet.
As part of this program, NPG has made very clear its support of open access publishing. Last month, the company announced that an additional 15 of its journals now offer open access options. And this week, the company announced a brand new online open access journal called Scientific Reports. With this launch, a full 80% of NPG academic and society journals and 50% of all journals the company publishes offer open access options to authors.
Another way in which NPG shows its support of open systems is by supporting the work we do at Creative Commons – both philosophically and financially. We find ourselves on the same side of the table as NPG during many discussions on how to increase openness and innovation in scientific communication and digital access. Key members of NPG have repeatedly expressed their deep appreciation for the fact that CC licenses are the foundation on which the Open Access movement rests. In a recent meeting between CC and NPG, Jason Wilde, Publishing Director of NPG, told us that they would like to show that appreciation in a concrete manner – a donation to Creative Commons for every each publication in Scientific Reports. We are thrilled to have this financial support that will help us continue to provide the legal and technical infrastructure of open systems.
Nature Publishing Group is a visionary group of people with a clear view into the potential of the digital era to enhance scientific communication. They believe in open access and, as the world's premiere publishing group, they have the authority to lead the rest of the world towards increased OA. We are excited about the launch of Scientific Reports and the way in which it strengthens the long-standing bond between our two organizations.Comments Off
CC kicks off its 9th year with incoming CEO Cathy Casserly and a successful year-end campaign
Stay up to date with CC news by subscribing to our weblog and following us on Twitter.
A warm thank you to all of our supporters! Our 2010 campaign raised $522,151.25 from 1,139 individual supporters and 22 companies. A huge thanks to our Board of Directors and all of our corporate sponsors, including 3taps, Tucows, Digital Garage, Ebay, Microsoft, LuLu, wikiHow, Hindawi, Squidoo, The Miraverse, and Aramex. More campaign numbers will be available soon on our blog.
Creative Commons enters 2011 with renewed energy, thanks to the holiday season and a new incoming CEO! As many of you know, we welcomed Cathy Casserly as incoming CEO of Creative Commons. As the Senior Partner at the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and former Director of OER at the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, Cathy brings with her extensive experience with foundations and open educational resources (OER). But Cathy has also been involved with CC from the beginning. Lawrence Lessig writes,
Cathy Casserly by Joi Ito / CC BY
"One of the most important moments in the history of Creative Commons happened on the day the Supreme Court upheld (incorrectly, in my view, but let's leave that alone) the Copyright Term Extension Act in Eldred v. Ashcroft. After reading the decision, I had my head in my hands, buried in sadness, when my assistant reminded me that I had a 10am meeting with two people from the Hewlett Foundation. This was exactly one month after we had launched Creative Commons.
Cathy and Mike had heard about the Supreme Court's decision. They recognized I wouldn't be in much of a mood to chat. So they launched right into the reason for the meeting: The Hewlett Foundation had decided to help launch Creative Commons with a grant of $1 million dollars.
I won't say that after I heard that news, I forgot about the Supreme Court. But from that moment on, it was much more important to me to prove Hewlett's faith right than to worry about what the Supreme Court had gotten wrong. And I was especially keen to get to know these two people who understood our mission long before most had even recognized the problem that CC was meant to solve."
We welcome Cathy and thank Joi for his fruitful two years as CEO. We are equally excited that Joi will remain Chair of the CC Board, and look to both Cathy's and Joi's strong leadership to move CC forward in 2011.
In other news:
- CC talked with Mark Surman from the Mozilla Foundation about the connection between Mozilla and CC, and CC's role in the broader digital ecosystem. CC also talked with the Maine Department of Education about how they are investing their educational grants in OER.
- Journalist Dan Gillmor reflected on the challenges and rewards of publishing "Mediactive" under CC.
- CERN Library and the University of Michigan Library released hundreds of thousands of bibliographic records into the public domain using CC0.
- CC filed comments in the U.S. Department of Commerce's Inquiry on Copyright Policy, Creativity, and Innovation in the Internet Economy.
- In an effort to balance legally sound terminology with culturally palatable translations, CC Affiliates in the Spanish-speaking and Arabic-speaking worlds have harmonized the language in their license deeds.
- Finally, CC turned eight last month. In celebration, "Building on the Past" creator re-released his video under CC BY. Watch the video and read about Justin Cone's motivations.
Thank You!

I have lots of password protected Word docs on an external HD which I need to open in Mac Pages but I only get a message saying they are password protected with no option to enter the password and so I cannot open them. Any suggestions please?

I think the only way would be to remove the password protection from the document.
But you might get other suggestions here. Pages Forum.

I have no problems with password protected Word documents in Pages. It simply asks for the password and opens.
What versions of each are you using?

Hi Bremner, sorry for the delay in replying I am using word 2007 and word 2010. Some files are older and were written using the earlier version, some mre recent and use 2010. The main problem is that when I try to open one on the Mac, Moutain Lion version, it doesn't even ask for a password it just comes up with can't import, password protected. Any thoughts?

I do not know why I can and you can't but you could try downloading and installing OpenOffice (free) for the Mac and see if that opens the file.

Not being able to access the files became intolerable so I downloaded a trial copy of office for mac and that works fine so I guess thats the answer. Thanks for taking the time to post suggestions, cheers.

Kimlin Cider Mill
One of the older cider mills in America, the historic Kimlin Cider Mill in the Town of Poughkeepsie is listed on the New York State and National Register of Historic Places. The Kimlin family owned this cider mill which was a part of their large agricultural farm in the early 1850s. In a bid to expand, the farming operations were turned into a mill and a curiosities museum was also made for the public. In times to come, the cider mill became a big attraction for local and far away residents. That's when the Cider Mill Friends decided to start a mission for protection and restoration of this great open space.
