Hundreds of city kids learn passing, dribbling, and shooting in evening and Saturday basketball games played on the worn floor of the Fox Chase School gym.
But after a Philadelphia School District decision to shut buildings on weekends and close earlier on weeknights - a move affecting more than 12,000 people - Fox Rok Athletic Association basketball commissioner Joe Grant was busy Monday explaining to players' parents why their season may be abruptly over.
"It's devastating news," said Grant, who coaches two teams. "We're not just talking about guys going into schools to shoot some baskets. We're talking about parents who paid for their kids to be in basketball leagues."

PHOENIX (AP) — A day after the most contentious provision of Arizona's immigration law took effect, rallies were planned around Phoenix to protest the law that civil rights activists contend will lead to systematic racial profiling.
Leticia Ramirez has been telling immigrants who are in the United States illegally, like herself, that they should offer only their name and date of birth — and carry no documents that show where they were born, if pulled over by police.
"We want to teach the community how to defend themselves, how to answer to police, how to be prepared, and to have confidence that they're going to have help," said Ramirez, a 27-year-old from Torreon in the Mexican state of Coahuila.
U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton ruled Tuesday that police can immediately start enforcing the law's so-called "show me your papers" provision. It requires officers, while enforcing other laws, to question the immigration status of those suspected of being in the country illegally.
The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the provision in June on the grounds that it doesn't conflict with federal law. Opponents argued that it would lead to systematic racial profiling and unreasonably long detention of Latinos, and unsuccessfully asked Bolton to block it.
Bolton said the law's opponents were merely speculating on racial profiling claims. She did leave the door open to challenges if the claims can be proven.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is considering a request to halt the questioning requirement.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the federal agency that verifies people's immigration status for local officers, said the volume of calls it has received from local authorities for immigration checks and assistance hasn't increased from what it normally gets since the questioning requirement took effect.
In the meantime, a hotline by civil rights advocates has been fielding calls from people wanting to know their rights if questioned about their immigration status.
The advocates are asking people to document abuse and police departments not to enforce the provision as a way to gain cooperation from immigrants in reporting crimes. But not enforcing the provision could open up officers to lawsuits from people claiming authorities aren't complying with the law.
About three dozen advocates gathered Wednesday afternoon in front of the U.S. Immigration and Custom Enforcement building to protest the law and federal immigration policies.
Beatrice Jernigan, a Tempe stay-at-home mom, said friends who are illegal immigrants are scared.
"They don't know what's going to happen. They're more cautious," she said. "Some parents who are illegal immigrants are not allowing their kids to participate in afterschool sports."
Prescott college student Brooke Bischoff said she doubts provisions prohibiting racial profiling will succeed. Testimony during a recent trial involving racial profiling accusations against the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office indicated that training to avoid discriminatory practices was "cursory," she said.
Advocates also planned to gather Wednesday to address the Phoenix City Council about their concerns on the law, and a march to the Maricopa County jail in downtown Phoenix was scheduled for Saturday.
Arizona lawmakers passed the law in 2010 amid voter frustration with the state's role as the busiest illegal entry point in the country. Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, South Carolina and Utah have adopted variations on Arizona's law.
Republican Gov. Jan Brewer says it won't cure the state's immigration woes but could push the federal government to act on immigration reform.

Other Thoughts: Our main printer for years have been HPs. When we set up documents to print on both sides, we don't have to tell the printer to use duplex.

QotD: Facebook's Orwell problem
As Orwell noted in 1984: "Who controls the past controls the future; who controls the present controls the past." He was speaking, of course, about control of written history, of what we know to have happened — and thereby how we allocate our political support. It is not a small matter if the company that is coming to be the nation's most significant source of news skews that news toward its own political preferences. In fact, it's just a tiny bit chilling. Government censorship is, of course, terrible. But censorship by a small group of unelected young people is not all that much more appealing.
This problem existed already on another scale. The socioeconomic, racial and political homogeneity of the media is a problem, one that I have written about before. That said, those media were operating in a competitive landscape, and no one outlet really had all that much market power. In each medium there were outlets of different sorts of political leanings, and more of them with the rise of the Internet.
Facebook, on the other hand, dominates all other social media outlets for news to an extent that no print outlet ever dominated the American landscape. The only arguable parallel is the big television networks from the 1950s to the 1980s, and at least there were three of them, rather than one. Besides, for most of that time they operated under the Fairness Doctrine — in other words, under heavy-handed government interference to limit their power to shape the national debate.
The greater danger is that liberals will end up falling back on an argument that is gaining more and more currency on the left: that this biasing of information is not merely an unfortunately insoluble problem, or so minor that it doesn't make much difference in our politics, but that it is actually an affirmative good. These are the people who embrace Orwell's dictum and say: "Yes, absolutely, the left should have control over what people are allowed to hear and know, because that's how we're going to build a better future." The first argument may be unsatisfying. But the second is … downright Orwellian.

QotD: American liberty
The American of today, in fact, probably enjoys less personal liberty than any other man of Christendom, and even his political liberty is fast succumbing to the new dogma that certain theories of government are virtuous and lawful, and others abhorrent and felonious. Laws limiting the radius of his free activity multiply year by year: It is now practically impossible for him to exhibit anything describable as genuine individuality, either in action or in thought, without running afoul of some harsh and unintelligible penalty. It would surprise no impartial observer if the motto "In God we trust" were one day expunged from the coins of the republic by the Junkers at Washington, and the far more appropriate word, "verboten," substituted. Nor would it astound any save the most romantic if, at the same time, the goddess of liberty were taken off the silver dollars to make room for a bas-relief of a policeman in a spiked helmet. Moreover, this gradual (and, of late, rapidly progressive) decay of freedom goes almost without challenge; the American has grown so accustomed to the denial of his constitutional rights and to the minute regulation of his conduct by swarms of spies, letter-openers, informers and agents provocateurs that he no longer makes any serious protest.

The Ezra and Rachel show
The Alberta government tried to expel journalists from a particular (and particularly irritating) right wing media organization and was utterly shocked to discover that the rest of the mainstream media didn't play along:
The MSM's defence of the Rebel reminded me of how libertarians used to defend the rights of Holocaust deniers: Teeth clenched and at a long arm's distance. The hatred of Ezra Levant by the Great and Good — and he is truly hated — is largely tonal. The right-wing impresario's politics are not terrible right of centre, remember this is a guy who worked for both Stockwell Day and Preston Manning. Some of his campaigns and video rants — if rendered in more moderate language — could even gain the assent of the editorial staff at the Globe. The great sin of Ezra is that he is terribly rude.
More than half a century ago Pierre Berton observed that you can get away with saying anything in Canada, so long as you wear a bow-tie. It was an important insight into the Canadian character. There sits on the NDP and Liberal parliamentary benches figures far more radical — in terms of political distance from the mainstream — than anything that has ever passed the lips of Mr Levant. These radicals however speak in the dulcet tones of the Leftist argot. They wear the modern day equivalent of bow-ties and so pass unhindered through the corridors of influence and power.
Some of those corridors are now occupied by Rachel Notley and her band of tone-deaf socialists. That the Rebel was deliberately targeted is obvious enough. The thing that is truly fascinating is how utterly ill-prepared the NDP High Command was for the backlash. They basically handed Ezra a massive campaign on a silver plater. What were they expecting to happen? This is a man who makes his living fighting crusades over freedom of expression. Did they really think he'd refuse to pick up this particular gauntlet? That his tens of thousands of supporters would fail to back him as they've backed him so many times before?
With the Rebel the committed Right in Canada has at last found a perfect platform. No longer burdened by the tacit censorship and looming overhead costs of the legacy media, a genuinely new media has emerged to finish what's left of the old. That may sound like hyperbole and perhaps it is. Yet there is a better than even chance that twenty years from now there will still be Ezra Levant ranting at full throttle, while his many critics and opponents have vanished into history.

How John Perry Barlow might have revised his 20-year-old Declaration
From a short interview in The Economist:
I probably wouldn't have imitated the grandiloquent style of a notorious former slave holder. And I would have been a bit more humble about the "Citizens of Cyberspace" creating social contracts to deal with bad behavior online. The fact remains there is not much one can do about bad behavior online except to take faith that the vast majority of what goes on there is not bad behavior. Yeah, I hate spam, and viruses, and worms, and surveillance [by America's National Security Agency], but the fact remains that if you can censor one of these bad behaviors, you've endowed yourself with the ability to censor almost anything you don't like online. This is not an ability I wish to extend to any existing government in the physical world. If we assert it, what's to prevent Saudi Arabia from doing the same.
And I would make it more obviously clear that I knew that cyberspace was not sublimely removed from the physical world, with which it has exactly the same relationship that the mind has with the body: deeply interdependent but qualitatively different. I think that point often got lost.
Over the decades, it has been continuously fashionable to make a straw man of my declaration, to hoist it up as the sort of woolly-headed hippie nonsense you'd expect from techno-utopians like me. This is done largely by people who have never read it, or take a strong interest in believing that government is about to come stomping into town, there to "civilize cyberspace.

Don't bet on Quebec recapturing all that gambling money
Michael Geist on the Quebec government's latest attempt to limit the freedom of Quebec internet users:
If there is a first rule of the Internet in Canada, it is "thou shall not block." Canadian Internet service providers face a wide range of policies that have implications for accessing content including net neutrality rules and the copyright notice-and-notice system. Yet in virtually all cases, blocking or removing content is simply not done (the lone exception is a limited, private sector led initiative to block child pornography images).
My weekly technology law column […] notes that unlike other countries which have dabbled in mandated takedowns or Internet filtering, Canada has largely defended an "open Internet". Canadian law does not mandate that Internet providers take down content due to unproven allegations of copyright infringement or allow them to alter or change content. In fact, the Telecommunications Act stipulates that "a Canadian carrier shall not control the content or influence the meaning or purpose of telecommunications carried by it for the public."
Despite the clear legal mandate to avoid blocking, earlier this month the Quebec government introduced unprecedented legislation that would require Internet providers to engage in content blocking. The new bill targets unlicensed online gambling websites as part of the government's efforts to increase revenues from its own online gambling service, which has thus far failed to meet expectations.

"Free speech" means more than just allowing speech you happen to agree with
Brendan O'Neill reminds us that being a supporter of free speech requires you to support those who don't always agree with you or express themselves in ways you're comfortable with:
It's the 21st century and Europe is meant to be an open, enlightened continent, and yet a man has just been sentenced to jail — actual jail — for something that he said. Will there be uproar? It's unlikely. For the man is Dieudonné M'bala M'bala, the French comedian, and what he says — that Jews are scoundrels and the Holocaust is a fiction — is deeply unpleasant. Yet if we're serious about freedom of speech, if we are truly committed to ensuring everyone has the liberty to think and say whatever they please, then the jailing of Dieudonné should outrage us as much as the attempts to shut down Charlie Hebdo or the jailing of a Saudi blogger for ridiculing religious belief. We should be saying 'Je Suis Dieudonné'.
Due to the regimen of hate-speech laws in 21st-century Europe — which police and punish everything from Holocaust denial to Christian denunciations of homosexuality — Dieudonné has been having run-ins with the law for years. In 2009, a French court fined him €10,000 for inviting a Holocaust denier on stage during a gig. In March this year, a French court gave him a two-month suspended prison sentence for saying he sympathised with the attack on Charlie Hebdo and with the anti-Semite who murdered Jews at a Parisian supermarket a few days later. Now, this week, a Belgian court has given him an actual prison sentence: a court in Liège found him guilty of incitement to hatred for making anti-Semitic comments during a recent show and condemned him to two months in jail.
In all these cases, Dieudonné has been punished simply for thinking and saying certain things. This is thought-policing. It's a PC, spat-and-polished version of the Inquisition, which was likewise in the business of raining punishment upon those who said things the authorities considered wicked. To fine or imprison people for expressing their beliefs is always a scandal, regardless of whether we like or hate their beliefs. Dieudonné really believes the Holocaust is a myth, as much as a Christian fundamentalist believes that people who have gay sex will go to hell or American liberals believe Hillary Clinton will make a good president. He is wrong, massively, poisonously so; but then, so are those Christians about gays and those liberals about Hillary. If every person who says wrong, malicious or stupid things were carted off to jail, Europe's streets would be emptied overnight.
It is incredibly illiberal for the state to police hatred. Hatred might not be big or clever, but it's only an emotion. And officialdom has no business telling us what we may feel — or think, or say, or write. Allowing the state to monitor belief represents a brutal reversal of the Enlightenment itself. John Locke, in his Letter Concerning Toleration (1689), set the tone for the Enlightenment as an attempt to 'settle the bounds' between the business of government and the business of morality. 'The business of laws is not to provide for the truth of opinions, but for the safety and security of every particular man's goods and person', he wrote. That ideal is now turned on its head. Across Europe, governments 'provide for the truth of opinions', and in the process they silence those they don't like and patronise the rest of us, reducing us to imbeciles incapable of working out what is right and wrong, and of speaking out against the wrong.
All hate-speech laws should be scrapped. Dieudonné should be freed. And a continent whose governments argue against the imprisonment of bloggers in Saudi Arabia while jailing comedians at home needs to take a long, hard look in the mirror.

QotD: The microaggression industry
The bitterness, anger, and even hate that radiates from them is shocking to me. "This conversation doesn't make me feel safe" is genuine, actual college speak, in the "microaggressions" school of thought. The purpose is to silence speech that the listener does not care for or that threatens their worldview.
They care nothing for liberty, or truth, or honesty, they do not want a world where people interact and learn from each other, they want nothing save a continual, comforting womb of support and confirmation of their worldview. And they're more than willing to crush anyone or anything that threatens this.
This attitude might be a byproduct of the bubble wrap children, who were raised so carefully, protected, and supported that they never encountered anything that challenged or made them question themselves. It might be a subversive method of silencing speech and dissent from a political agenda that cannot survive rational discussion. It might be the result of a psychosis that cannot abide being questioned. It might be a combination of some or all of those things.
What's most troubling to me is that the loudest, most insistent, and most publicly conspicuous of this group are those who at the same time insist that they are lovers of liberty and will not tolerate intolerance.
And yet here we are, in the 21st century, where academics have churned out an entire system designed to do exactly the opposite of what academia is meant to be: silence any debate, questioning, or interaction that in any way threatens one specific certain viewpoint. And its done with passive-aggressive behavior taken to an astounding depth of creativity and precision.

QotD: What repression looks like from the inside
Reaction isn't a conspiracy theory; it's not suggesting there's a secret campaign for organized repression. To steal an example from the other side of the aisle, it's positing something more like patriarchy. Patriarchy doesn't have an actual Patriarch coordinating men in their efforts to keep down women. It's just that when lots of people share some really strong cultural norms, they manage to self-organize into a kind of immune system for rejecting new ideas. And Western society just happens to have a really strong progressivist immune system ready to gobble you up if you say anything insufficiently progressive.
And so the main difference between modern liberal democracy and older repressive societies is that older societies repressed things you liked, but modern liberal democracies only repress things you don't like. Having only things you don't like repressed looks from the inside a lot like there being no repression at all.
The good Catholic in medieval Spain doesn't feel repressed, even when the Inquisition drags away her neighbor. She feels like decent people have total freedom to worship whichever saint they want, total freedom to go to whatever cathedral they choose, total freedom to debate who the next bishop should be – oh, and thank goodness someone's around to deal with those crazy people who are trying to damn the rest of us to Hell. We medieval Spaniards are way too smart to fall for the balance fallacy!
Wait, You Mean The Invisible Multi-Tentacled Monster That Has Taken Over All Our Information Sources Might Be Trying To Mislead Us?
Since you are a citizen of a repressive society, you should be extremely skeptical of all the information you get from schools, the media, and popular books on any topic related to the areas where active repression is occurring. That means at least politics, history, economics, race, and gender. You should be especially skeptical of any book that's praised as "a breath of fresh air" or "a good counter to the prevailing bias", as books that garner praise in the media are probably of the "We need fifty Stalins!" variety.

QotD: Suppressing dissent
These are the chocolate sipping onesie boys of the world, who emote without thought and cringe at perceived aggressions by people who challenge their certainties. Brutality, bullying, rape, they cry. And in a polite society, their approach tends to shut down any talk.
Its the flip side of the Online Forum Effect where there is a tourettes-like tendency of some to bring up in any conversation and any occasion their pet political viewpoints. They do it loudly and angrily, and become so unpleasant that everyone around them learns to just shut up about some topics in the hopes that they won't provoke another episode that ruins everything for everyone. And in the process, they win by silencing any dissent or alternate viewpoint. By not allowing anyone to gainsay or question their absolute certainty on a topic, all that everyone is left with is their regular outbursts on every subject.
And in time, that wears down all but the most strong of wills by the Big Lie. After all, I don't hear anyone disagreeing with them or showing how they are wrong, and they wouldn't be so very strong and insistent about this if it wasn't at least somewhat true. They aren't crazy or lying all the time, nobody would do that…
And until this changes, until this atmosphere at institutions of higher learning changes, until this approach toward academia and culture is different, then the entire exercise of education is pointless. How can you expect anyone to get an honest, valuable education in this kind of atmosphere? What kind of worldview and what sort of behavior is being inculcated by this kind of attitude? Nothing healthy.

QotD: The slow erosion of freedom of expression
This slow erosion of freedom of expression has come about in ways both social and legal. Before the 1960s, arguments for censorship tended to focus on sexual morality, pornography and obscenity. The censors themselves were usually depicted as benighted moral conservatives — priggish maiden aunts. Freedom of political speech, however, was regarded as sacrosanct by all. As legal restraints on obscenity fell away, however, freedom of political speech began to come under attack from a different kind of censor — college administrators, ethnic-grievance groups, gay and feminist advocates.
The new censors advanced such arguments as that "free speech can never be an excuse for racism." These arguments are essentially exercises both in begging the question and in confusing it. While the principle of free speech cannot justify racism any more than it can disprove racism, it is the only principle that can allow us to judge whether or not particular speech is racist. Thus the censor's argument should be reversed: "Accusations of racism can never be an excuse for prohibiting free speech."
Meanwhile, the narrowly legal grounds for restricting speech changed, too. Since the 18th century, the basic legal justifications for restricting political speech and publication were direct incitement to harm, national security, maintaining public order, libel, etc. Content wasn't supposed to be considered (though it was sometimes smuggled in under other headings).
Today, content is increasingly the explicit justification for restricting speech. The argument used, especially in colleges, is that "words hurt." Thus, universities, parliaments, courts and various international bodies intervene promiscuously to restrict hurtful or offensive speech — with the results described above. In the new climate, hurtful speech is much more likely to be political speech than obscene speech.

QotD: The new censors
Governments began to treat those threatened for their opinions almost as harshly as those attacking them. Dutch legal authorities tried repeatedly, if unsuccessfully, to prosecute Mr. Wilders for "inciting hatred" with his film. He was briefly prohibited from entering Britain. In 2006, Tony Blair's government passed the Racial and Religious Hatred Act — a kind of "blasphemy lite" law — ostensibly designed to protect all religions against threatening expression but generally understood as intended to limit hostile criticism of Islam. Both the U.S. and the European Union have entered into a dialogue in recent years with the 56 states of the Organization of the Islamic Conference, which is seeking an international law prohibiting blasphemy. In 2011, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told the OIC that, while the First Amendment prevented the U.S. from prohibiting speech, the administration might still "use some old-fashioned techniques of peer pressure and shaming so that people don't feel they have the support to do what we abhor."
Admittedly, it is difficult to draw a clear line between criticism of an Islamic belief and an attack on Muslims who believe it. If you denounce a belief as absurd, you are implicitly criticizing the believers as credulous fools. Christians have to endure explicit denunciations of their faith all the time from such writers as Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris. And so they should. If you can't stand the heat, don't listen to hellfire sermons from atheists.
Hearing criticisms of your own convictions and learning the beliefs of others are training for life in a multifaith society. Preventing open debate means that all believers, including atheists, remain in the prison of unconsidered opinion. The right to be offended, which is the other side of free speech, is therefore a genuine right. True belief and honest doubt are both impossible without it.
It isn't just some Muslims who want the false comfort of censoring disagreeable opinions. Far from it. Gays, Christians, feminists, patriots, foreign despots, ethnic activists — or organizations claiming to speak for them — are among the many groups seeking relief from the criticism of others through the courts, the legislatures and the public square.

The rise of the censors on campus
Ginni Thomas discusses free speech under attack with FIRE's Greg Lukianoff.
"The battle over free speech is not partisan," says a proud liberal whose organization helps a wide variety of clients facing free speech threats. He has spent fifteen years in the field as a fearless advocate who worked at the ACLU before coming to the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE).
Greg Lukianoff, the President and CEO of FIRE, starts this 20 minute video interview for The Daily Caller by assessing global issues. "The international situation for freedom of speech is dire," says Lukianoff, focusing on the emergence of blasphemy laws to not offend Islam.
This harks back to a previous Daily Caller interview with Steve Coughlin, author of "Catastrophic Failure," who discussed the Organization of Islamic Cooperation's Ten Year Program of Action to make Islamic speech codes the global speech standard. In America, this would entail making free speech conditional on not defaming Islam, a religion of less than 1 percent of the US population.

The anti-porn crusaders
J.R. Ireland on the modern day puritans who lose sleep because someone, somewhere, might possibly be looking at porn:
One thing that I have noticed a lot of advocates of sex-worker rights tend to miss though is the parallel between anti-prostitution arguments and anti-porn arguments. I think that the reason for this is simple — prostitution is still illegal, whereas pornography is not only legal, but very visible. It's all over our computer screens, in fact, and can be found quickly and easily, provided you have the ability to engage in a simple Google search. That means that most pro-prostitution advocates avoid really talking about the issue of pornography, since it's assumed that this is an issue we've already 'won' and which we don't really need to continue babbling about.
Unfortunately, this ignores the fact that there is a burgeoning anti-porn movement that is coming not from the normal enemies of pornography on the right (i.e. Catholics, Baptists, Methodists, etc. who oppose porn on religious grounds), but from leftists who oppose porn on what are alleged to be left-wing grounds — fear of exploitation, a desire to prevent sex-trafficking, a distaste for the vulgar trappings of sexualized patriarchy, and so on.
Anti-Porn feminism is far more advanced in Britain than it is here since British feminists tend to be, and you'll have to pardon my language, bug-fuck crazy nightmarish lunatics with fake degrees from mediocre universities and a level of self-loathing and insecurity unknown to the sane. It is from this leftist anti-porn position that the activist Gail Dines has arrived. In 2010, she wrote a book entitled Pornland: How Porn Has Hijacked Our Sexuality and since then she has been on the leading edge, the spear-tip, the vanguard of leftist opposition to pornography.
First, Dines tries to argue that 'sexual assault centers in US colleges' have 'said that more women are reporting anal rape.' Which sexual assault centers? Care to name them? Care to give me any sort of citation for this claim? Of course not — facts are for the patriarchy and we're in the post-fact world of third wave feminism now!
Indeed, I find it somehow unlikely that sexual assault centers in US colleges are reporting an increase in rape given that American rape rates fell substantially between 1990 and the present:
Go look up any statistics on the incidence of rape and you will find them to be broadly similar — a spike in the 70s and 80s (which happened to coincide with a general increase in criminality) followed by a lengthy decline ever since. Now, were porn actually causing an increase in rape rates due to 'sexualizing violence against women' and 'normalizing' practices like rape, you would not have expected to find such an obvious decline in sexual assault rates, would you?
The second claim Dines makes is regarding the scary normalization of pedophilia which she claims is occurring directly resultant from porn involving teenagers. First of all, 'teen porn' does not 'normalize pedophilia' since the teenagers in teen porn are supposed to be 18 or 19 — in other words, post-pubescent and fully grown women. This isn't even taking into consideration the fact that many actresses in teen porn are actually in their 20's and are just 'playing young,' but we'll ignore the fact that this is all fantasy anyway, since the fact that pornography isn't based on reality seems to be a constant source of confusion for Gail Dines.

How about creating a truly open web?
Brewster Kahle on the need to
blow up change the current web and recreate it with true open characteristics built-in from the start:
Over the last 25 years, millions of people have poured creativity and knowledge into the World Wide Web. New features have been added and dramatic flaws have emerged based on the original simple design. I would like to suggest we could now build a new Web on top of the existing Web that secures what we want most out of an expressive communication tool without giving up its inclusiveness. I believe we can do something quite counter-intuitive: We can lock the Web open.
One of my heroes, Larry Lessig, famously said "Code is Law." The way we code the web will determine the way we live online. So we need to bake our values into our code. Freedom of expression needs to be baked into our code. Privacy should be baked into our code. Universal access to all knowledge. But right now, those values are not embedded in the Web.
It turns out that the World Wide Web is quite fragile. But it is huge. At the Internet Archive we collect one billion pages a week. We now know that Web pages only last about 100 days on average before they change or disappear. They blink on and off in their servers.
And the Web is massively accessible – unless you live in China. The Chinese government has blocked the Internet Archive, the New York Times, and other sites from its citizens. And other countries block their citizens' access as well every once in a while. So the Web is not reliably accessible.
And the Web isn't private. People, corporations, countries can spy on what you are reading. And they do. We now know, thanks to Edward Snowden, that Wikileaks readers were selected for targeting by the National Security Agency and the UK's equivalent just because those organizations could identify those Web browsers that visited the site and identify the people likely to be using those browsers. In the library world, we know how important it is to protect reader privacy. Rounding people up for the things that they've read has a long and dreadful history. So we need a Web that is better than it is now in order to protect reader privacy.

As grown-ups though, when our tastes crave something sweet and sophisticated, it's funny how our noses come to tell us more than our eyes.
When we walk into a candy store now and smell something deep, rich and buttery – something with an aroma so warming yet vaguely mysterious – chances are, it's toffee.

Employment costs in private industry, June 2004
July 30, 2004
Compensation costs for the private sector rose 1.0 percent from March to June 2004 (seasonally adjusted), after advancing 1.1 percent in the prior quarter.
Private sector benefit costs rose 1.7 percent for the June quarter, moderating from the 2.6-percent gain in the previous quarter.
Wages and salaries for private workers advanced 0.6 percent during the June quarter, identical to the increase in March 2004. Wage and salary gains in transportation and public utilities and in service industries led the increase. Wage and salary increases were lower in construction, wholesale trade, and finance, insurance, and real estate.
These data are from the BLS Compensation Cost Trends program. Compensation costs (also known as employment costs) include wages, salaries, and employer costs for employee benefits. Data are subject to revision. Learn more in "Employment Cost Index—June 2004" (PDF) (TXT), news release USDL 04-1380.

Since 2009, hundreds of colleges across the country have held annual blood drives in honor of civil rights activists Cesar Chavez and Delores Huerta.
"They were the ones speaking up for our farm workers," said University of Idaho CAMP Assistant Director Jesse Martinez. "So they were the ones who were able to successfully create the United Farm Workers Union."
Both the University of Idaho and Washington State University held blood drives this week, in conjunction with Farm Workers Awareness Week.
"This is an opportunity for many of us that come from a migrant, seasonal background, an opportunity to raise awareness about issues that are affecting our communities, our living conditions, working conditions," said Martinez.
"People need the blood, and I've always enjoyed giving blood," said U of I student Joel Medrano.
"It's something very little, you know, it doesn't take much from anybody to do, and it's something that can help so much," said WSU Student Marco Trejo.
While the students get excited about raising awareness while saving lives, the Inland Northwest Blood Center gets excited about the extra donations.
"Only about 35% of the US population is eligible to donate blood at any time, and only 5% of people do," said Inland Northwest Blood Center Recruitment Coordinator Sandra King. "So over a quarter of our blood supply in this community comes from high school and college age individuals."
Both the U of I and WSU saw over 30 donors on the day of their blood drive, and each of those pint-sized donations has the potential to save three lives.
"It's something very simple, and it can help a lot of people," said Trejo.
More than 300 universities and colleges hold a Cesar Chavez Blood Drive every year, and the drives at U of I and WSU, as well as at LCSC grow larger every year.

In Brief: Venezuelans pay last respects to slain actress
Venezuelans pay last respects to slain actress
CARACAS, Venezuela -- Hundreds of Venezuelans paid their final respects Friday to a popular actress whose slaying in front of her 5-year-old daughter has reignited debate about the nation's rampant crime.
Former Miss Venezuela Monica Spear and her ex-husband, Thomas Henry Berry, were shot to death Monday night while apparently trying to resist a robbery attempt after their car broke down on an isolated stretch of highway.
Fellow artists and relatives of Spear, some holding pictures of the actress, formed long lines to bid farewell at a funeral in Caracas. Spear's sister threw flowers to weeping fans.
While authorities swiftly arrested several suspects, the killings focused attention on President Nicolas Maduro over the government's failure to bring down violent crime that has soared during more than 14 years of socialist rule.
Explosion used to fight Canada train fire
PLASTER ROCK, New Brunswick -- A controlled explosion was used to blast holes in three tanker cars of a derailed oil train in an attempt to extinguish a large fire that continues to burn two and half days after the incident, a Canadian National Railway spokesman said Friday.
A large fireball shot into the sky and a boom resounded after the blast.
"Preliminary indications are everything went as planned," said Canadian National spokesman Jim Feeny.
Officials said 19 rail cars in the 122-car train derailed Tuesday night in a sparsely populated region roughly 20 miles from the U.S. border and northern Maine. No one was injured, but about 150 people living nearby were evacuated.
Central African Republic president stepping down
N'DJAMENA, Chad -- Michel Djotodia, the rebel leader who seized control of Central African Republic only to see the desperately poor country tumble toward anarchy and sectarian bloodshed that left more than 1,000 people dead, agreed to resign Friday, along with his prime minister, regional officials announced.
On the streets of Bangui, the capital of Central African Republic, there was jubilation about the possibility that the terrible security situation might change.
"Finally we are free! We are going to return home at last," said Carine Gbegbe, 28, who has been living in a displacement camp on the southern outskirts of the capital.
There has been growing pressure for Djotodia to step aside as the fighting between Christians and Muslims has escalated.
South Sudan retakes oil town from rebels
JUBA, South Sudan -- South Sudanese troops on Friday retook the capital of an oil-producing state from rebels loyal to the country's former vice president, a military spokesman said.
Government troops retook Bentiu, the capital of Unity state, after a two-and-a-half-hour battle, Col. Philip Aguer said.
Aguer said the forces loyal to the former vice president, Riek Machar, had "destroyed" the town.
Rebels looted the bank, stole food and set the market on fire, Aguer said.
Doctors Without Borders, which is also known as MSF, said its facilities in Bentiu were also looted.

Hospitals may outperform under new health care law
President Barack Obama's re-election has secured the future of health care reform, and many believe that will dramatically change the profit picture for hospitals.
As many as 10% of all patients that hospitals treat are uninsured, said Whit Mayo, senior research analyst for health care facilities and services in the Nashville, Tenn., office of Robert W. Baird & Co. Consequently, charity and uncompensated care represent, on average, as much as 30% of hospitals' revenue, he said. »Read Full Article(14)

Red Steel + Excite Truck = pwn
I rented Carbon for Wii, we got about 75% through it in a few days. I don't think racers are generally gonna be very long. Excite truck is fun but less realistic. I rented excite truck too, but was busy and didn't get to play it as much as I'd have liked. It didn't seem like there was that many tracks. I still might pick it up off ebay for cheaper though, but I wouldn't buy need for speed, maybe just because I got farther in it. Need for speed is just about winning the race. In excite truck you get ratings on how well you raced in terms of drifting and stunts and such, so the replayability is greater since you come back to get better ratings and unlock stuff. Need for speed you unlock parts and there is the car customization, which is very in depth I must say.Originally Posted by StealthSoul

Thanks for the replies. I guess the racer is a little easy to decide on, I'm pretty sure i'm getting Excite Truck now.
About the FPS, I'm still not sure >.< I keep hearing mixed reviews on Red Steel.. What did people think of Splinter Cell on the wii?
I prefer FarCry to RedSteel. I find the control in RedSteel is over sensitive. Yes, FarCry's graphics aren't as crisp as RedSteel's, but the multiplay is better. I think the aiming is more accurate on FarCry too.
I can't get enough from Excite Truck. My kids and I like to just start bashing each other around

Farcry doesn't really interest me =[.
I think at the moment it's out of:
Splinter Cell \ Medal of Honor \ Red Steel
Red Steel I should get a chance to play today as i'm going to a friend's house and he has it..
I'm still not sure though -.-
Racer will be Excite Truck for sure, i've read some great reviews about it.
I'm thinking the FPS will be Medal of Honor, as it's one of the top sellers at the moment according to the sites i'm looking at..
Any last opinions from anyone?
Redsteel, you like it or you hate it.
Story was good - Nice story! Not as good as Zelda but Original.
Gameplay was good - I think the single player was a blast to play besides the glitches.
Graphics were good - Not the best but for a launch game they are good.
Music/Sound was good - I music was good and voice acting was bad. Music for the sword fight is just fun to listen to.
Mutliplayer is good - Well built, just needs to make feel little more completive.
Miaymoto says we need to add a category for non-gamers
For Non-Gamers: You may or may not like it. Its the best FPS on the Wii right now.
For Gamers: Probably going to hate it...you played so much Halo this game looks like a sin. Though it does have a nice story and funfactor is high cause of the controls.
Pros: Fun FPS, Sword Fights
Cons: Glitchy!, Game was rushed, Sword Fights were choppy, If you retarded there is a learning curve

Racer: (This one is really up to you, but I know what I am going with and what I will suggest to you) Driver: Parallel Lines (Incase youve never heard of it, its kind of like a GTA, except more driving, and it will use the wii remote to its full potential)
Thanks for all the replies guys.
I think I will not get an FPS for now, as they dont seem to be great just yet.. Metroid seems great though.
I have heard of driver, had it on my Playstation. When'll that be released?
I am probably still going to get a racer for now, as i've found some for VERY cheap.. So if I dont like the game I could just trade it and make a tiny profit.. :P

"England has told Australia" he said, "Feed us and feed us alone. That order has cut off the Australian supply of meats, for which we had begun the construction of an immense cold storage plant, and we want Nevada beef to help out."

3 suspected cases of SARS-related virus in France
PARIS French health officials said Friday they are investigating three suspected cases of a deadly new respiratory virus related to SARS, in people who had close contact in the hospital with Frances only confirmed case.
Beatrice Degrugillers, a spokeswoman for the regional health agency in Frances Nord-Pas-de-Calais region, said a nurse at the hospital where the man was hospitalized in late April has herself been under watch at the hospital in Douai since Thursday night.
A doctor and a former hospital roommate who had each been in contact with the first patient also remain hospitalized. Test results are expected later Friday.
If confirmed, the additional cases would heighten concerns about the virus ability to spread easily between people. Health authorities have previously said the new coronavirus has spread in limited circumstances between people in very close contact, such as relatives taking care of family members.
In 2003, the spread of SARS in hospitals in Asia ultimately sparked a global outbreak. Officials consider any spread of a new virus in hospitals to be the first sign it is gaining the ability to infect humans easily.
On Wednesday authorities announced the 65-year-old Frenchman was Frances first confirmed case of the novel coronavirus, which has killed 18 people since being identified last year in the Middle East.
The patient fell ill after returning from a nine-day vacation in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates as part of a package tour, the Health Ministry said.
The man, whose identity was not released, returned from Dubai on April 17. He was hospitalized with respiratory problems in the northern French city of Valenciennes on April 23, and transferred to a more advanced facility in Douai on April 29.
Paris Pasteur Institute analyzed the mans virus and confirmed that it is a novel coronavirus.
Since September 2012, the World Health Organization has been informed of 30 confirmed cases of the virus, and 18 of the patients have died. Cases have emerged in Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, Qatar, Britain and Germany, and health officials say the virus has likely already spread from person to person in some circumstances.
Since the virus emerged last year, European authorities have put in place monitoring measures. In France, 20 people have already been examined for suspected cases of the virus, but the other 19 turned up negative, Health Minister Marisol Touraine said.
The patient who traveled to Dubai is the only positive case. His family members have been tested and are not infected.MORE IN Wire NewsHEMPSTEAD, N.Y.

Whether you've been building your own version of the UploadFile class definition. Or you've jumped straight to this chapter, let's take a look at the classes features and how to use it. The primary emphasis is on security when uploading files. The class limits the size of individual file uploads. Although the size can be changed, the class prevents you from exceeding the limits set in the server's configuration. Uploads can be restricted to a predefined range of MIME type.
Alternatively, the class will automatically append a suffix to the names of files such as executables, that are considered risky. The upload file class has also been designed to be flexible. It automatically handles both single, and multiple file uploads. Most default settings can be changed without editing the class definition. These are the defaults in the version of the class in the exercise files. The maximum size for an individual file is 50 kilobytes.
Uploads are restricted to image formats commonly used on the web. But if uploads of all types are enabled, .upload is automatically appended as a suffix to the filename of potentially risky files. Duplicate files are automatically renamed by inserting a number before the file name extension. However, all of these defaults can be changed by calling public methods in the processing script. To ensure compatibility with other scripts, the class uses a name space.
This means that the server must be running a minimum of PHP 5.3. So let's review how you use the class. As well as including the class in your main script, it's recommended to import the name space with the use operator like this. The name space foundationphp is separated from the class name by a backslash. This allows you to create an upload file object like this, without the need to use the name space. The UploadFile constructor takes a single argument.
The path of the folder to which the files are to be uploaded. The class has four public methods. Set max size changes the size limit for individual files. It takes a single argument, which must be expressed as the number of bytes. I'll show you later in this chapter, how to specify the value without the need to get out your calculator. Using set max size is optional. If you don't use it, the class uses the default of 50 kilobytes.
Allow all types removes the restriction on the mine types that can be uploaded. It takes a single argument which is optional. If no argument is supplied, .upload is appended to the names of files with file name extensions that pose a potential risk. The suffix can be changed by passing a string as an argument to allow all types. If you don't want a suffix appended to file names, use an empty string as the argument. Using allow all types is optional.
If you don't use it, the class restricts uploads to specific MIME types. Upload actually performs the upload. It takes a single argument which is optional. If you use upload without an argument, files with a name that already exists in the destination folder, are renamed by inserting a number before the filename extension. To overwrite duplicate files, pass zero or false without quotes, as the argument. Using this method is required. Without it, nothing is uploaded.
If you use set max size, or allow all types, or both of them, they must be called first because they changed the settings used by upload. Finally, getMessages returns an array of messages reporting whether the upload was successful and whether files were renamed. Since getMessages reports on the outcome, it can be called only after upload. The class also has two public static methods, which can be used in the upload form without creating an upload file object. The first one is called converToBytes.
It's useful for converting the value of Post Max Size, and Upload Max File Size. From the PHP configuration into bytes, the value can then be used to check whether the upload exceeds the server limits. The other one is called convert from bytes. It takes a value expressed as bytes, and converts it to a more human readable value, the number of kilobytes or megabytes rounded to one decimal place. To use a static method without creating a UploadFile object, you use the class name follow by a double colon, and the method name like this.
So now you know what the upload file class does. Let's use it.
At the end of this course, you'll have a robust, flexible class that can be incorporated into many projects (including web forms) with just a few lines of code.
- How PHP handles file uploads
- Setting the maximum file size
- Moving the file to its destination
- Creating and using a namespaced class
- Displaying error messages
- Restricting unacceptable MIME types and file extensions
- Using the class
- Reporting errors
- Altering the user
