ICTs: key to sustainable development
DEVELOPMENT| April 24, 2012, 1:14 p.m.
The ITU Broadband Commission for Digital Development issued a 'call to action' to include information and communication technologies (ICT) as catalysts for sustainable development when delegates gather in New York this week to continue negotiations ahead of the Rio+20 conference.
The call to include ICT networks, services and applications as enablers of sustainable development was issued at the start of the all-important second round of negotiations on the proposed outcomes for the 2012 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20). In a world where more people now have access to a mobile phone than to clean drinking water or a bank account, information and communication technologies, in particular broadband connectivity, offer an unparalleled platform to host an array of development services, such as mobile payment systems, e-Health applications, earth observation services and, increasingly, e-Government. Inclusion of a strong reference to the catalytic role of ICTs and broadband in the Rio+20 roadmap will help ensure solutions are found to meet the challenges of sustainable development in a rapidly evolving world where technology is increasingly central to all aspects of society.
The 'Call to Action' from the Broadband Commission for Digital Development comes just a few weeks after the launch of its report, 'The Broadband Bridge, linking ICTs with climate action for a low carbon economy' in Ohrid, Macedonia. The report presents ten recommendations for policy-makers and global leaders to utilize ICTs to accelerate global progress towards a sustainable, low-carbon future. It also urges leaders to: 'bring convergence to ICT policy formulation so that it aligns with other policy areas such as energy, health, education and climate in order to maximize impact'. Rio+20 provides a vital opportunity to mainstream ICTs and broadband in achieving sustainable development.
"It is vital that information and communication technologies are given due recognition in the outcome of Rio+20 as ICTs provide the critical technological solutions needed to attain sustainable development for all humankind and the planet we live on," ITU Secretary-General Hamadoun Touré said. " ICTs promote the integration of 'smarter' and more energy-efficient economic growth, social development and environmental protection; failure to recognize the power of ICTs for development could very well lead to a 'Future we don't want'."

Yankees 12, Rangers 5: We read a lot of "Derek Jeter is done" commentary last week. Well, whoo-hoo-hoo, look who knows so much. It just so happens that Jeter was only mostly dead. And there's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Two homers for The Captain. As for the game overall, I'll…
Lenny Dykstra indicted on thirteen counts of bankruptcy fraud
May 6, 2011, 5:46 PM EDT
Remember how Lenny Dykstra was arrested for bankruptcy fraud? Yeah, he's indicted now. Thirteen counts, reports CNBC's Darren Rovell. If he is convicted on all counts he faces 80 years. Given his business acumen, however, I'm sure he could talk it down to 95. This is just the latest in a long line of fun…

Great moments in bunting: Jonathan Sanchez edition

The Incarceration Collections at the Rubenstein: The Role of Reading and Writing in the History of Prisoners' Rights Movements
The popular Netflix series Orange is the New Black, based on the memoir of the same name by Piper Kerman, has brought renewed attention to the conditions inside U.S. women's prisons. While prison reform has not been contemporarily understood as a priority of the LGBTQ and feminist communities, the special collections at the David M. Rubenstein Rare Book & Manuscript Library, illustrate the degree to which prison reform and anti-prison activism have, since the 19th century, operated as a cornerstone of both LGBTQ and feminist movements.
In the 19th century, charity efforts led by white middle-class feminists led to the creation of prison reform organizations such as the Women's Prison Association (WPA) and the Gilbert Library and Prisoners' Aid Society. These organizations advocated for separate women's reformatories, the decriminalization of prostitution, rehabilitation programs for former inmates, and the creation and expansion of prison libraries.
These early reform efforts are reflected in the ledger and scrapbook of Linda Gilbert, the founder and president of the Gilbert Library and Prisoners' Aid Society. The ledger details Gilbert's fundraising efforts on behalf of the organization and the expenses it incurred from roughly 1868 to 1894, as it helped to establish libraries in institutions such as the New York House of Detention, Ludlow St. Jail, and Sing Sing Female Prison. A pamphlet included in the Linda Gilbert scrapbook speaks to the particular significance of prison libraries and literature to reformers of this period, who saw increasing literacy among prisoners and increasing access to reading material as central to their moral improvement.Linda Gilbert account and scrapbook, 1894
The incarceration collections held in the Rubenstein Library, however, reflect the importance of circulating periodicals to prison reform efforts more generally, and the changing role of reading and writing in prison reform movements over time. In the 1960's and 70's, prison libraries and education programs helped to instigate an expanding prisoners' rights movement both within and beyond prison walls. These efforts are reflected in several women's prison newsletters and pamphlets that were published by lesbian feminist organizations in the late 20th century, including "No More Cages" and "Through the Looking Glass," which are held in the Atlanta Lesbian Feminist Alliance Periodicals Collection and the Women's and Lesbians, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Movements (LGBTQ) Periodicals Collection, respectively.
These newsletters were the collaborative projects of lesbian feminist and anti-prison activists in the late twentieth century in the context of neo-liberal economic policies, intensifying restrictions on access to welfare, and a corresponding rise in incarceration rates. The newsletters that grew out of these coalitions often aimed their critiques at increasing restrictions on access to welfare that, while initiated by the Nixon administration, were part of a larger conservative backlash against the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 that continued through the 1990's, making women of color, in particular, vulnerable to mass incarceration.
"Break 'de Chains of U.S. Legalized Slavery," a joint publication between the Triangle Area Lesbian Feminists' Prison Book Project and inmates at the North Carolina Correctional institute for women, documents a prison rebellion at the North Carolina Correctional Institute for Women in 1975 that began as a work stoppage in the prison laundry. The pamphlet not only critiques healthcare and labor conditions in the prison, but contests media accounts of the rebellion itself. Additionally, the Rubenstein Library also holds a publication from Action for Forgotten Women, a feminist organization that was also active in the Triangle in the 1970's.
Gay and lesbian publications such as Feminary, Lesbian Tide, RFD, and Gay Community News, which frequently reported on conditions inside prisons and incidents of police brutality; gave advice to gay and lesbian readers about how to protect themselves from law enforcement; and published letters from prisoners also circulated widely both inside and outside of prisons during these period. These publications helped to galvanize support for prisoners, and encouraged readers to understand the policing and criminalization of gender and sexual non-normativity as intersecting with the policing and criminalization of people of color, immigrants, and the poor.
More recently, zines distributed by prison books programs, anti-prison zine distros, and collectively owned bookstores and activist centers have done similar work, attempting to fill a gap left by increasingly restrictive policies and funding for prison libraries and education.
Many of the most widely circulating zines are included in the Incarceration Zine Collection, part of the Human Rights Archive, which was acquired from the Chicago Anarchist Black Cross Zine Distro. The collection spans the years from 1995 to 2007, and includes 103 zines distributed inside and outside of jails and prisons, with writing by notable inmates and anti-prison activists, including Mumia Abu-Jamal, Sundiata Acoli, Ashanti Alston Omowali, David Gilbert and his son, Chesa Boudin, Kevin "Rashid" Johnson, Dennis Kyne, Anthony Rayson, Bobby Sands, Sean Swain, and Harold H. Thompson. Zines related specifically to the concerns of women and LGBTQ people, including The Invisibility of Women Prisoners' Resistance, Reaching through the Bars, Tenacious: Art and Writings from Women in Prison, and Queers Bash Back can be found in the Bingham Center Women's Zine Collection.The Incarceration Zine Collection
These resources offer researchers insight into the dialogue amongst prison reformers and anti-prison activists both inside and outside of prison, and into the particular role of reading and writing in the expansion of prison reform and prisoners' rights movements.

Human Rights Archive Collection Sheds Light on 1983 Assassination of Peruvian Journalists
I am Carmen Valdivieso Hulbert, a New York-based journalist-filmmaker born in Peru. I am currently co-directing and producing Uchuraccay, an investigative, human rights documentary for my company, Quinoa Films Inc.
The documentary attempts to find answers related to the assassinations of eight journalists and their guide in 1983 in Uchuraccay, a hamlet in the Andes of Peru. The murders occurred amidst warfare between the Maoist group, Shining Path, and Peruvian military forces. As part of my investigation of the case, I found valuable material among the Coletta Youngers Papers at the Human Rights Archive in the David M. Rubenstein Rare Book & Manuscript Library.Map of Peru showing location of Uchuraccay.
In the process of this ten-year investigation, I have found a large amount of information which at first did not stand out due to the complexity of the case. In February 2015, I found a copy of the original report on the assassinations filed by the government-appointed investigative commission in March of 1983. The group was led by Peruvian writer Mario Vargas Llosa. According to the commission's findings, the villagers of Uchuraccay were the sole culprits of the murders. Furthermore, the report fails to cite any military presence in the area when the murders took place.
This report was based on testimony given to the commission by the military chief of Ayacucho, the capital city of Huamanga Province, where Uchuraccay is located. He stated that the last military flight to the area took place on Sunday, January 23, 1983. His testimony conflicts with information I found in an article published on January 27th of the same year in the leading newspaper, El Comercio. The article, based on information received from the same military headquarters, indicates that a group of military and police officials arrived in the area from Lima on January 26th. Around noon, the group visited Uchuraccay, among other areas. This was the very day that the journalists arrived in Uchuraccay and were allegedly murdered around 4 p.m.
The discrepancy only hit me after I found and read the investigative report this past February. Had I not found this particular document in the Coletta Youngers Papers, it would have taken me longer to connect the dots.
A friend I met on my last trip to Lima in January of 2014 had mentioned that Javier Azcue, the journalist who wrote the story in El Comercio, had told him about the importance of that visit, and that no journalist had taken note of it. I was not sure what he was referring to until I re-read the official report at the Rubenstein.
On January 30, 1983, the date of the exhumation of the eight journalists' bodies, villagers in Uchuraccay told a journalist who spoke Quechua, one of the main Peruvian indigenous languages, that the soldiers had told them to kill any stranger who arrived in the community on foot, and that they should remove their eyes and cut out their tongues while they were still alive. Apparently that did not happen, as indicated by the newspapers clippings I found among the Coletta Youngers Papers. While at the Rubenstein, I found some enlarged newspapers clippings of La Republica that showed close-up photos taken the day the bodies were exhumed. The photographs show the faces of five of the eight murdered journalists. As gruesome as these images are, they show two of the journalists with eyes half-closed and intact, and three with their eyes closed but without signs of having been removed, as some of the villagers had previously stated.Photocopy of article from La Republica. From the Coletta Youngers Papers.
Previously I had only heard the recordings of the villagers' testimonies in their native Quechua, along with a transcript translated into Spanish. I was therefore able to recognize one of the villager's photo and name in the newspaper clipping.

NEH grant will fund Voices of Change Project at the Rubenstein Library
The David M. Rubenstein Rare Book & Manuscript Library at Duke University has received a grant of $200,000 from the National Endowment for the Humanities to support Voices of Change: Preserving and Presenting Radio Haiti. This two-year project, set to begin in July 2015, will preserve and make widely available the written- and spoken-word archives of Radio Haiti Inter, the country's oracle of democracy from the late 1960s until its closure in 2003. The announcement of the award coincides with the fifteen year anniversary of the assassination of the station's owner and Haiti's most prominent journalist, Jean Dominique, and amidst continuing news coverage about the ongoing trial of his accused murderers.Jean Dominique and Michèle Montas at Radio Haiti Inter, 1995
The Human Rights Archive at the Rubenstein Library received the archives of Radio Haiti in late 2013 as a gift from Michèle Montas, the station's co-anchor and widow of Dominique. "To me, Duke University was the most welcoming environment for these unique archives, with knowledgeable teams of scholars and archivists able to preserve the past and help to use that recent past as a tool to re- imagine the future," commented Montas about her decision to place the archives at Duke.
As evidenced in the more than 3,000 recordings and 70 linear feet of paper records comprising the collection, Radio Haiti distinguished itself from other media outlets in Haiti by covering not only events in Port-au-Prince but news from the rural areas of Haiti, including a grassroots democratic movement that eventually overthrew the Duvalier dictatorship in 1986. It was the first independent radio station in Haiti, and the first to broadcast in the language of the people, Haitian Creole, instead of the French spoken only by Haiti's elite.
The collection is one of the most important and comprehensive resources available for studying and understanding the recent history of Haiti. Primary materials related to Haiti are relatively rare, and the archives of Radio Haiti are particularly distinct both for the depth and breadth of their coverage. According to Laurent Dubois, project advisor and Marcello Lotti Professor of Romance Studies and History at Duke, "The Radio Haiti Archives represent a tremendous resource for scholars, educators, and the general public interested in culture and politics in Haiti from the late 1970s to the present. Under the leadership of Jean Dominique and Michèle Montas, the station served as a critical voice for reportage, debate, editorials, and news for several decades." Access to these important primary materials will allow scholars to write the history of the country in nuanced and participatory ways.As part of preparing the grant proposal, Library staff completed a pilot project cleaning and digitizing a selection of tapes from the Radio Haiti Archives.
Grant funding will support a full-time project archivist fluent in both Haitian Creole and French to oversee the arrangement, description, digitization and preservation of these materials. To support multilingual and international research, audio recordings will be described in French, Haitian Creole, and English, and will be made freely available online via Duke's Digital Collections, the Digital Public Library of America, and the Digital Library of the Caribbean.
In order to promote easy access to these materials in Haiti, the Library will partner with the Forum for Scholars and Publics at Duke and FOKAL (La Fondation Connaissance et Liberté/Fondasyon Konesans Ak Libète), a community organization in Haiti, to place digital copies of the recordings in libraries throughout Haiti. The team will also explore creating podcasts from the recordings to allow for easier access in regions with intermittent internet connectivity.
The Radio Haiti collection is a singular resource supporting a nuanced and comprehensive understanding of the last 50 years' of Haiti's history. By preserving and making accessible these archives, Duke University Libraries seeks to advance the dialogue not only about Haiti's past but also about its future.
Those interested in learning more about the archives of Radio Haiti are encouraged to visit the pilot site developed collaboratively between the Forum for Scholars and Publics and the Library at http://radiohaitilives.com/. This site includes access in Creole and English to all the recordings reformatted as part of the planning phase of the grant.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Scotty Talks Hockey and Golf from Scotland
by Paul on 07/20/05 at 08:25 AM ET
Comments (0)
In a foreign country, nothing startles a tourist like bumping into a friend from back home. It messes with the sense of time and place. "Hey, what are you doing here?" the voice whispered behind my right ear, as I stood at the fourth tee box watching Jack Nicklaus at the British Open. This being Scotland, where serious walks and golf are national pastimes, it might figure a lad named Scotty would be out strolling 18 holes on a summer afternoon. But not this particular Scotty, who had my shoulder in a vise grip. What in the world was he doing here? "How did you get out on the course?" hockey legend Scotty Bowman asked by way of saying hello. "Are you friends with Jack?" "No," I replied, about to confirm what Bowman must have suspected through years of our testy exchanges under playoff duress. "I don't know Jack." The greatest NHL coach who ever lived laughed. Not at me. With me. I think. He wore a baseball cap from the All-Star Game in Detroit. "Shows you how crazy I am," said Bowman, who is 71 but gladly acting half his age. "I came here straight from a baseball game."

Champions League: Chelsea plays to type, holds Atlético Madrid to 0-0 draw in leg one
Apr 22, 2014, 4:47 PM EDT
For Chelsea fans hoping their team can recapture the magic of 2012, Tuesday's performance may have inspired memories of that magical European Cup run. For the rest who took in the team's UEFA Champions League semifinal opener against Atlético Madrid, the feeling is more likely one of frustration, having seen a reluctant and defensive Blues predictably hold out for a draw on the road.
Limiting the home side to four shots on target, the former champions were able to take a 0-0 result out of the Vicente Calderón, but not before suffering a set of setbacks that could come back to haunt the team next week. Already without the injured Eden Hazard, the visitors lost goalkeeper Petr Cech and central defender John Terry to injury, with Frank Lampard's second half yellow card rendering the midfielder suspended for next Wednesdays return leg at Stamford Bridge (Gabi will be out for Atlético). Though José Mourinho's team can look at the blank scoresheet as evidence of a mission accomplished, the team's recovery over the next week will determine whether the Blues left Madrid better of than they started.
Over the course of Tuesday's 90 minutes, however, Chelsea looked every bit as capable of stifling its opposition as it did two years ago. Ceding Atlético Madrid 62 percent of the match's possession, the Blues were content to sacrifice control and ambition for organization and opportunism.
Atleti went nearly the entire first half without a shot on target. Come full-time, the home side held a mere 4-2 edge in shots on goal. When Gabi's 76th minute long distance shot deflected of the Chelsea wall, Mark Schwarzer had his stiffest test of the match. A calm dive allowed Cech's stand-in to push the ball wide of the left post, sending the teams back to London scoreless.
MORE FROM SOCCERLY: Tactical match puts onus upon next week
With Cech only playing 18 minutes, Terry leaving in the 73rd, and Branislav Ivanovic missing out entirely, Chelsea's back five had a makeshift feel comes the final moments, something which nearly allowed Arda Turan to head home a Juanfran cross at the left post in the 80th minute. When Atlético continued trying to match up players against Cesar Azpilicueta and Ashley Cole, the Colchoneros' crosses drew a few late gasps from the crowd. When Jonas Eriksson blew his final whistle, however, Atlético was left in the shoes Barcelona and Bayern Munich vacated two years ago. Late in Champions League, Chelsea had receded into its shell, a stance that left it unharmed by one of the best teams in Europe.
With eight days between games, Atlético boss Diego Simeone will be tasked with figuring out a way to penetrate that defense. Though Chelsea could prove more ambitious at home, a slew of potential absences may leave José Mourinho playing the same game, hoping one moment of brilliance can overshadow 90 minutes in a bunker.
Besides, generating two shots on target of their own, the Blues weren't completely devote of chances to break through. Next week may be less about Chelsea changing than Atlétco responding to the challenge.
