MOSCOW (Reuters) - The United States said it was "shocked and profoundly
saddened" by the murder of Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya, a vocal
critic of President Vladimir Putin.
There was still no word from the Kremlin on the killing of Politkovskaya,
a 48-year-old mother of two who won worldwide fame and numerous prizes for
her dogged pursuit of rights abuses by Putin's government, particularly in
the violent southern province of Chechnya.
She was shot dead on Saturday at her apartment block in central Moscow in
a killing prosecutors said was linked to her work.
Paying tribute to the indomitable journalist, the U.S. State Department
said Politkovskaya was "personally courageous and committed to seeking
justice even in the face of previous death threats".
"The United States urges the Russian government to conduct an immediate
and thorough investigation in order to find, prosecute, and bring to
justice all those responsible for this heinous murder," it said in a
statement on its Web site www.state.gov.
"The intimidation and murder of journalists -- 12 in Russia in the past
six years, including American citizen Paul Klebnikov on July 9, 2004 -- is
an affront to free and independent media and to democratic values."

Google Poised to Net YouTube
Paul Durman and Dominic Rushe
<http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2095-2393517,00.html>
GOOGLE, the search-engine giant, is expected early this week to announce a
$1.6 billion (850m) deal to acquire YouTube, the video-sharing website
that has been one of the fastest success stories on the internet.
Although YouTube was launched less than 18 months ago, it has already
become the webs 10th most popular destination, according to the
information firm Alexa. An estimated 100m video clips are viewed from the
website every day.
While YouTube has attracted a large audience, it has yet to demonstrate
that it can generate profits or even significant revenues. It also faces a
wave of litigation from media companies whose content has appeared on the
site.
Another problem is the cost of hosting the growing number of video clips.
This is estimated to be as much as $1.5m (800,000) a month a significant
sum for such a young firm.

Google in talks to buy YouTube
AD GOLD MINE OR COPYRIGHT NIGHTMARE?

But there is one big obstacle. Everyone wants YouTube's traffic -- the
site screens more than 100 million videos a day -- and the potential for
advertising riches. But no one wants what could be a Napster-style legal
mess.
Indeed, it's unclear to what extent YouTube's wild popularity is directly
dependent on the copyrighted material easily available on the site --
ranging from bootleg musical performances to excerpts of television shows
to unlicensed use of recorded music as soundtracks for home videos.
``I don't know why Google would be buying YouTube,'' said attorney Chris
Castle, one of many veterans of the Napster wars. ``They can't just go in
and buy a copyright infringement machine. They are a publicly traded
company. They have obligations to their stockholders and they have
obligations under the law.''
Doug Morris, chief executive of Vivendi's Universal Music Group, has told
investors that YouTube and MySpace, the second most-popular video-sharing
site, ``owe us tens of millions of dollars'' for infringing copyrights.
At the same time, Universal Music Group and Sony BMG Music Entertainment
are reported to have discussed distribution deals with YouTube, which
could ease some copyright concerns. ``You have to wonder what the risk
ultimately will be from the liability standpoint'' of acquiring YouTube,
said Bart Myers, an executive at Guba, a YouTube competitor.
YouTube lets users upload any video they want to share, and makes it easy
for others to play it with almost any Web browser. Though YouTube's terms
of use ask people not to submit copyrighted material, the service does not
use technology to identify copyrighted music.

Google said to offer $1.6 billion for YouTube
Andrew Ross Sorkin and Peter Edmonston, New York Times
Saturday, October 7, 2006
San Francisco Chronicle
<http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2006/10/07/GOOGLE.TMP>
Google is in discussions to acquire YouTube for $1.6 billion, people
involved in the talks said Friday. While the talks are in the early
stages, and could fall apart, the size of Google's offer might push
YouTube closer to a deal.
Other companies have also expressed interest and could swoop in with a
higher offer. Microsoft, Yahoo, Viacom and News Corp., among others, have
visited YouTube's headquarters in San Mateo in recent months to inquire
about buying the company.
The frenzied hunt to acquire the next hot Internet property -- MySpace
last year and now YouTube -- has become reminiscent of the first Internet
boom as companies bid up prices of sites whose ability to generate profits
is the subject of much debate.
A deal for YouTube would be the crowning moment for a property that
emerged as a cultural phenomenon almost immediately after it officially
began last December. Its site, which delivers more than 100 million video
clips a day, allows users to share a broad array of offerings from news
clips to home movies to spoofs -- sometimes funny but often simply crude
-- created by ordinary users.
Almost single-handedly, YouTube has both popularized the sharing of videos
and empowered wannabe moviemakers around the world. The site also faces
possible legal challenges over the unauthorized posting and sharing of
videos. Yet a number of media companies would rather embrace YouTube as a
partner than treat it as a pariah, as was the case with the music-sharing
service Napster.
If YouTube agreed to a deal, it would be a sudden change of heart. Chad
Hurley, one of the company's founders, has said that he preferred to stay
independent. "We're not even thinking about being acquired or going
public," he said in a visit to the New York Times last month.

Mysterious Blog Scooped Media on Foley Messages
Mysterious Blog Scooped Media on Foley Messages
POSTED: 5:57 p.m. EDT, October 5, 2006
By Peter Hamby
CNN Washington Bureau
<http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/10/04/foley.internet/>
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Capitol Hill controversies are nothing new, but as
details emerge about former Rep. Mark Foley's e-mails and instant messages
with underage congressional pages it's clear that the Internet is
reinventing the Washington scandal.
<snip>
One can imagine that if not for the Internet, Mark Foley might still be
representing Florida's 16th Congressional District; Foley's digital trail
proved to be his downfall. However, aside from the instant messages and
e-mails themselves, the Web is shaping this story in manifold ways.
One of the more curious angles to emerge from the scandal surrounding
Foley is the creation of a little-known Web site called Stop Sex
Predators. It was at that site on September 24, four days before ABC News
reported Foley's e-mails with a 16-year-old page, that the Florida
congressman's correspondence first appeared.
Because the site was virtually unknown at the time, bloggers were
skeptical of the e-mails' authenticity. Nothing is known about the site
beyond the small number of postings on it.
<snip>
Then on September 21, Stop Sex Predators says, it received e-mails from
readers suggesting Foley was a "danger to any young, slightly attractive
young man on The Hill."
Three days later, the e-mails from Foley to the 16-year-old page -- one of
which requested a photo -- were posted on the site.
Who's behind the site?
So how did a relatively new blog that saw little to no Web traffic before
last week suddenly receive those e-mails? Bloggers are wondering the same
thing, suggesting that that the site was created by somebody in possession
of the e-mails who wanted to shop them around.
However, the identity of the site's owner remains a mystery. Though the
site posted the e-mails before the ABC News report, the site does not
appear to be that news organization's original source.
ABC's Brian Ross told the Wall Street Journal that he "wasn't familiar"
with the Web site before his online report Thursday about the e-mails.
(According to Ross, it was only after his report was posted that he
received transcripts of the more lurid instant message exchanges between
Foley and pages.)
<snip>
The owner of Stop Sex Predators responded to CNN inquires from an
anonymous e-mail address posted on the Web site.
"My plans are to remain anonymous for the foreseeable future," the Web
site's owner wrote in an e-mail. "I've been getting threats from folks and
will no longer allow the posting of comments on the website. I can't
believe the anger out there for exposing a hippocritical [sic] sex
predator."

TWO LAPTOPS PER CHILD?
Reported by WIRED CAMPUS (Chronicle of Higher Education)
October 2, 2006
"After Nicholas Negroponte unveiled a prototype of his One Laptop Per
Child project's $100 computer (The Chronicle, November 25, 2005),
officials with Intel were quick to dismiss the device as a
none-too-useful novelty item. Mr. Negroponte played down the
criticism as a case of sour grapes: He had, after all, chosen to line
his laptops with processors from Advanced Micro Devices, one of
Intel's competitors.
But now Intel has stepped forward with the Classmate PC, its own
challenge to the One Laptop Per Child model. Like the OLPC laptop,
the Classmate PC has flash memory instead of a hard drive. But while
Mr. Negroponte's machine runs Linux and comes with batteries that are
recharged by a crank, Intel's computer runs Windows XP and has a
standard lithium ion battery. The Classmate PC, which will be
marketed to developing nations, will cost between $220 and $300 --
making it a great choice for "the poor and destitute with more
discriminating tastes," according to Gizmodo. --Brock Read"
[http://chronicle.com/wiredcampus/index.php?id=1609]
GIZMODO: Classmate PC: Intel's "Sub-$400" Laptop
"This week Intel announced "Classmate PC" - a budget computer for
emerging markets (translation: for the poor and destitute with more
discriminating tastes than the MIT OLPC model). The laptop features
the Celeron "eduwise" processor with 915GMS chipset, 7-inch WVXGA
(800x600) screen, 256MB DDR2 SO-DIMM memory and 1gb of flash memory
for storage. The system will run Windows XP and have a standard
Lithium Ion battery. The "sub-$400" packaging is not as impressive as
reality: these notebooks will range $220-$300, depending on foreign
taxes. Nothing like a little philanthropic competition. - Mark Wilson"

Uzbek reporter sentenced to six years in prison despite witness reversal
http://www.cpj.org/news/2006/europe/uzbek05oct06na.html
[excerpt]
New York, October 5, 2006-The Committee to Protect Journalists is
outraged by the six-year prison sentence given today to independent
reporter Ulugbek Khaidarov following a two-day trial in which the
prosecution's lead witness reportedly affirmed the journalist's
innocence. Khaidarov, whose reports in independent foreign
publications were critical of government and business officials, was
found guilty of extortion by a judge in the Jizzakh City Court,
according to international news reports and CPJ sources.
"Ulugbek Khaidarov has been arrested, tried, and convicted on a bogus
accusation that does not disguise the government's true intention of
silencing a critical reporter," CPJ Executive Director Joel Simon
said. "We call on the judicial authorities to hear our colleague's
appeal and reverse this travesty of justice."
The trial, before Judge Shukhrat Khudoiberdiyev, was not open to the
public, although Khaidarov's family members were allowed to attend.
The independent news Web site Uznews, citing a source it did not
identify, said prosecution witness Rakhima Abdullayeva, who had
accused Khaidarov of extortion, testified that the journalist was not
guilty of the alleged crime. Khaidarov did not have a lawyer at the
trial, and it was unclear whether Abdullayeva was asked whether she
fabricated the allegation.
Russian journalist shot dead

war in Chechnya, has been found shot dead at her apartment block in

Chad: Emergency response - Internews enables local media to provide
essential information
By Annette Makino, Internews Senior Vice-President for Communications
and Corporate Affairs
From a 20-foot cargo container perched on cinderblocks in the middle
of a frontier town in Chad, Radio Absoun is making a difference in
the lives of tens of thousands of refugees who have fled the genocide
in neighboring Darfur, and the lives of Chadians affected by their
arrival.
The radio station broadcasts a mixture of news, information and music
for six hours everyday. The result is that for the first time,
refugees hear reports that directly affect their survival, including
information on security, how to get water and firewood, where to get
health and immunization services, or what is happening in their home
area. Radio Absoun also airs social and educational programs,
especially those dealing with violence against women and domestic
abuse.
The station also serves as a critical bridge between the refugees and
the Chadians who have welcomed the Sudanese, but now face intense
competition for limited local resources.
Radio Absoun reaches the camps of Iridimi, Touloum, Am Nabak, Mile
and Kounoungo, and the Chadian communities in and around Iriba. The
staff includes Chadians and Sudanese refugees, who produce their
programs in three languages: Arabic, French and Zaghawa.
Radio Absoun is one of three community radio stations being
established in eastern Chad by Internews Network, a non-profit
organization that supports access to information worldwide, and its
Chadian partner organization, l'Association de Dveloppement des
Mdias Communautaires (ADMC).
Internews, which has worked in 70 countries in its 24-year history,
enables local media to provide essential communications during and
after emergencies such as the Indian Ocean tsunami, the Pakistani
earthquake, the recent Indonesian earthquakes, and the ongoing Darfur
refugee crisis.
Internews' "emergency response" work is based on the reality that
when disaster strikes a community, timely and accurate information is
essential to survival. In 2005 the Red Cross World Disasters Report
focused on the role of information in disasters, and found, "people
need information as much as water, food, medicine or shelter.
Information can save lives, livelihoods, and resources."
Mark Frohardt, who directs Internews' humanitarian media programs,
explains, "We always try to work with existing stations, as they are
known in the community and are already operational. If no station
exists, or existing stations are damaged, we can set up a suitcase
radio station in a matter of hours."
Immediately after the Indian Ocean tsunami in December 2004,
Internews flew into the Indonesian province of Aceh. Within two
weeks, the only radio station back on the air, Suara Aceh (Voice of
Aceh), was set up with a "suitcase radio" transmitter from Internews
that extended its range beyond the regional capital of Banda Aceh. In
Sri Lanka, also hard-hit by the tsunami, Internews set up mobile
radio production units and trained local journalists, who then
produced the only in-depth coverage that was available on national
media on the needs of tsunami-affected communities.
In the aftermath of the Pakistan earthquake of October 2005, which
killed some 80,000 people and left 3.5 million homeless, Internews
began producing a daily hour-long radio program providing
humanitarian information for those affected by the quake. Jazba A
Tameer (The Desire to Rebuild) was broadcast on seven emergency FM
frequencies that cover much of the affected region, and over a dozen
stations all over Pakistan. The program team consisted of a dozen
Pakistani radio journalists whom Internews had trained over the past
three years in field reporting and radio production.
Soon after the quake, there was confusion about seismic reports in
the red zone areas. The program helped dispel rumors about possible
mass evacuations, and gave people vital information on check
distribution and other humanitarian relief plans.
Internews is also responding to the May 2006 earthquake in
Yogyakarta, Indonesia, which took nearly 6,000 lives and left up to
1.2 million homeless. Together with the Indonesian Press and
Broadcast Society, Internews is establishing an emergency radio
station to provide urgent aid and safety information. Internews has
also set up an innovative text messaging service connecting
journalists covering the earthquake to share, verify, and disseminate
news and developments about the recovery.
According to Frohardt, "Emergency response work can dramatically
improve the quality of assistance by eliminating barriers to
communication. By increasing the flow and accuracy of information we
can reduce anxiety and help people make decisions about how best to
protect themselves. Ultimately this work creates a local forum for
the discussion of humanitarian assistance and the reconstruction
process, informing people about the process and facilitating their
involvement in their own recovery."

RESEARCHERS DISCOVER MISFOLDED PROTEIN CLUMPS COMMON TO DEMENTIA, LOU
GEHRIG'S DISEASE
Study Provides New Insights into Neurological Disorders
Scientists have identified a misfolded, or incorrectly formed, protein
common to two devastating neurological diseases, frontotemporal dementia
(FTD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's
disease), according to a report in the Oct. 6, 2006, issue of "Science."
The findings suggest that certain forms of FTD, ALS and possibly other
neurological diseases might share a common pathological process.
Virginia Lee, Ph.D., and John Trojanowski, M.D., Ph.D., of the University
of Pennsylvania, led an international team of scientists in this
discovery. The work was funded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA),
part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and was done at the
NIA-funded Alzheimer's Disease Center at the University of Pennsylvania
School of Medicine Institute on Aging.
"This exciting basic science discovery provides the first molecular link
between a dementia -- FTD -- and a motor neuron disease -- ALS. It will
advance understanding of the pathological processes of FTD and ALS, and
possibly of other neurological disorders," says NIA director Richard J.
Hodes, M.D. Improved understanding of underlying disease processes is
critically important in pointing researchers toward the development of
therapies for FTD, ALS and other neurodegenerative diseases, Hodes and the
study authors note.
FTD affects the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain. People with FTD
may exhibit uninhibited and socially inappropriate behavior, changes in
personality and, in late stages, loss of memory, motor skills and speech.
After Alzheimer's disease, it is the most common cause of dementia in
people under age 65.
ALS is a progressive disease of brain and spinal cord motor neurons that
control movement. Over time, walking, eating, speaking and breathing
become more difficult in this fatal disease. Some people with ALS also
have FTD, and some with FTD also develop ALS, suggesting that common
mechanisms might underlie these two diseases.
In certain neurodegenerative diseases, including ALS and some forms of
FTD, scientists have identified clumps of protein -- or inclusion bodies
-- that accumulate in brain cells and neurons. However, understanding why
they form and what they contain has been elusive. Lee and Trojanowski have
long sought to solve that mystery.
Following years of research, they have now identified TDP-43 as a
constituent part of the clumps that form in ALS and in the most common
form of FTD. Although its precise role is not well understood, TDP-43 is
involved in the complex process of transcribing and regulating genetic
information in the nucleus of the cell.
"There is much more to learn about how this nuclear protein is clumped in
the cytoplasm of cells and about the mechanism by which it is implicated
in two distinctly different diseases," says Stephen Snyder, Ph.D., program
director, etiology of Alzheimer's disease, NIA Neuroscience and
Neuropsychology of Aging Program. "It is possible that the TDP-43 protein
will be a key to a more complete understanding of both FTD and ALS."
NIA leads the federal effort supporting and conducting research on aging
and the medical, social and behavioral issues of older people, including
Alzheimer's disease and age-related cognitive decline. For information on

So how big a deal is social media?
Well very big indeed, if we are just going to look at the
numbers. When this eBook was written (September 2006)
there were:
More than 50 million blogs being tracked by Technorati, a
specialist blog search engine. According to the same
company, the number of blogs it tracks have doubled at
least every six months for the past few years
100 million videos a day are being downloaded from video
sharing website, YouTube
There are 107 million members of social network website
MySpace
What is social media?
OK, lets start with a working definition and go from there.
Social media is best understood as a group of new kinds of
online media which share most or all of the following
characteristics:
Participation: social media encourages contributions and
feedback from everyone who is interested. It blurs the line
between the concept of media and audience.
Openness: most social media services are open to feedback
and participation. They encourage voting, feedback,
comments and sharing of information. There are rarely any
barriers to accessing and making use of content password
protected content is frowned on.
Conversation: whereas traditional media is about
broadcast, content transmitted or distributed to an
audience, social media is better seen as conversational, twoway.
Community: social media allows communities to form
quickly and communicate effectively around common
interests be that a love of photography, a political issue or
a favourite TV show.
Connectedness: Most kinds of social media thrive on their
connectedness, via links and combining different kinds of
media in one place.

Social media
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_media>
"Social media describes the online tools and platforms that people use to
share opinions, insights, experiences, and perspectives with each other.
Social media can take many different forms, including text, images, audio,
and video. Popular social mediums include blogs, message boards, podcasts,
wikis, and vlogs.
Chris Shipley (Co-founder and Global Research Director for Guidewire
Group) is considered the first person to have coined the term "social
media." **needs citation, when and where?**

People who think their instant messages disappear after being sent
should think again.
As the recent scandals involving former Republican congressman Mark
Foley and Hewlett-Packard Co. have brought to light, text messages
sent in real time via computer can be saved and retrieved.
Instant messaging has been growing in popularity, with nearly 79
million users of instant-messaging programs in the United States
during August, according to research firm Nielsen-NetRatings. The
most popular instant-message programs are from AOL, Yahoo Inc. and
Microsoft Corp. and can be used on computers and mobile gadgets such
as cellphones and BlackBerrys.
Many people who take advantage of these free software services
believe their conversations can't be tracked, but that's a
misconception, said Michael Hall, managing editor of the Web site
Instant Messaging Planet.
"Even the most basic instant-messaging software will keep some sort
of archive," he said. "In the Foley case, I noticed there was a lot
of carrying on in the right-wing blogosphere about the fact that
these messages were recorded, [but] it's not odd. . . . Over the Net,
you're never given any guarantees of real privacy."
This post does not seem relevant to issues like libraries, medical
practices, schools and the like until one considers matters like HIPAA and
its requirements for privacy of medical records, virtual reference and
privacy of library customer records, and what teachers may be saying about
their students in IM chat sessions to each other. Is it wise to be using
IM to communicate in these contexts if their is a retrievable record of
conversations about medical records of individuals, information needs or
academic records? Are guidelines needed regarding what may be discussed
over this medium given the fact that it may be resulting in archives of
these records, or is legislation needed to protect retrieval of medical
information in stored conversations using this medium and other
confidential information? Please read George Lessard's post below.

Russia: Deep Shock at Murder of Anna Politkovskaya

Moscow (Observer News Servce): Moscow shocked as woman who exposed Kremlin
dirty war in Chechnya is assassinated.
In a killing that sent shock waves across Russia, Anna Politkovskaya,
the courageous journalist who did most to uncover the Kremlin's dirty war
in Chechnya, was assassinated in her Moscow apartment building on
Saturday.
Her body was found slumped in an elevator next to a pistol and
four bullets.
Politkovskaya, 48, was a constant critic of the Kremlin and her murder
will throw suspicion on the security services and the pro-Moscow regime
that now holds sway in Chechnya. The London Observer is reporting that
she was half way through writing a book which, according to her agent,
included her theories on why the Russian state wanted her dead. Last
night, about 70 journalists gathered at cordons outside the entrance hall
to Politkovskaya's white granite apartment block in central Moscow.
The city's chief prosecutor rushed to the scene.
A tall, elegant figure with wire-grey hair and black clothes, she
was recognised across the world for her principled stand against two
brutal wars prosecuted by Moscow in Chechnya, which left hundreds of
thousands dead, injured or missing. Her death comes two days after one of
her most hated opponents, pro-Moscow Prime Minister of Chechnya, Ramzan
Kadyrov, celebrated his 30th birthday, and on the day of Vladimir Putin's
57th birthday, prompting speculation that one of her enemies may have
served up the assassination as a present. Yulia Latynina, a newspaper
commentator,said: 'All her publications of the last few months were about
Kadyrov.Politkovskaya hated him. And two days ago was his birthday. From
here canonly be one motive.'
There seemed little doubt her death was connected with her writing.
'Ibelieve that this was a political assassination. She was a bold woman,
whohad many enemies,' said veteran rights campaigner Lyudmila Alexeyeva,
head of the Moscow Helsinki Group. Oleg Orlov, head of the Russian human
rightscentre Memorial, said: 'We are all shocked by what has happened.

The murder of Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya, renowned for her
works critical of the Russian administrations extensive human rights
violations in Chechnya, has sparked worldwide outrage.
The European Union (EU), the United States and the Organization for
Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) strongly reacted to the murder.
Politkovskaya (48) was gunned down at her apartment in Moscow on Sunday.
<snip>
Calling on the Russian administration to apprehend the perpetrators, U.S.
State Department Spokesman Sean McCormack called the killing of
journalists in Russia an insult to the media and to democratic values.
Secretary-General of the Council of Europe, Terry Davis, nothing that the
strong voice of democracy has perished, called for an immediate
investigation of the murder.
OSCE representative Miklos Haraszti asserted that Russia has a bad record
in resolving the murders of journalists and asked for a comprehensive
investigation.
The Committee on Protecting Journalists based in New York noted that
Politkovskaya was the 12th journalist murdered since Putin assumed office.

"We can do anything we like with you," said the square-jawed man with the
prematurely lined face. "Here no one will know. No one will care. You are
under our control."
I heard those chilling words in Chechnya in early 1996, as I was detained
at a Russian checkpoint during the bloody first war between Moscow and
Chechen separatist forces. A few minutes later a helicopter was to remove
me to the dreaded military interrogation centre of Mozdok.
But by an astonishing stroke of luck the guerrillas launched a rocket
attack on the post. My captors fled to a bunker, and a frightened young
recruit shouted "go, get out of here," as I scrambled for my dilapidated
car and drove away.
Anna Politkovskaya had many encounters with the Russian military, some of
them more violent and terrifying.
But the internationally renowned journalist who braved death to report on
the atrocities suffered by Chechen civilians, and the backlash of
terrorism they were generating, exhausted the last of her nine lives on
Saturday.
Her body was found in the entrance to her Moscow apartment block. She had
been shot execution-style, a Makarov pistol on the floor beside her the
weapon of choice for contract killings, and standard equipment for the
Soviet military. She was about to publish new testimony on torture and
other crimes in Chechnya under the Moscow-backed government of Ramzan
Kadyrov.
When I heard of the murder, the words of the Russian officer came back to
me.
A decade and a second Chechen war later, they are the words of authority
in Russia, a country in which 15 years after the fall of communism, the
rule of law still means the law of the powerful.

Sports betting
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Sports gambling)
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sports_gambling>
"Sports betting is the general activity of predicting sports results by
making a wager on the outcome of a sporting event. Perhaps more so than
other forms of gambling, the legality and general acceptance of sports
betting varies from nation to nation. In North America, for example,
sports gambling is generally forbidden, while in many European nations,
bookmaking (the profession of accepting sports wagers) is regarded as an
honorable occupation and, while highly regulated, is not criminalized.
Proponents of legalized sports betting generally regard it as a hobby for
sports fans that increases their interest in particular sporting events,
thus benefiting the leagues, teams and players they bet on through higher
attendances and television audiences. Opponents fear that, over and above
the general ramifications of gambling, it threatens the integrity of
amateur and professional sport, the history of which includes numerous
attempts by sports gamblers to fix matches, although proponents counter
that legitimate bookmakers will invariably fight corruption just as
fiercely as governing bodies and law enforcement do."

Google to Buy YouTube for $1.65 Billion

Google to Buy YouTube for $1.65 Billion
Business Week
<http://www.businessweek.com/ap/financialnews/D8KLIDL04.htm>
OCT. 10 12:51 A.M. ET The founders of YouTube Inc. built this year's
standout Web phenomenon by figuring out how to make online video sharing
easier than ever.
What they hadn't yet figured out was making money from their site. Google
Inc. took that problem off their hands Monday, by agreeing to buy the site
for $1.65 billion.
The all-stock deal makes YouTube by far the most expensive purchase made
by Google during its eight-year history. Last year, Google spent $130.5
million buying a total of 15 small companies.
Although some cynics have questioned YouTube's staying power, Google is
betting that the popular video-sharing site will provide it an
increasingly lucrative marketing hub as more viewers and advertisers
migrate from television to the Internet.
"This is the next step in the evolution of the Internet," Google Chief
Executive Officer Eric Schmidt said during a conference call Monday.
YouTube will continue to retain its brand, its new headquarters in San
Bruno and all 67 employees, including co-founders Chad Hurley and Steve
Chen. Meanwhile, Google will continue to run a less popular video service
on its own site.
The deal is expected to close before the end of the year.
"We are excited to have the resources to move faster than ever before,"
Hurley, YouTube's 29-year-old CEO, said during a Monday interview.
Schmidt thinks so highly of Hurley and Chen, 28, that he compared them to
Google's now 33-year-old co-founders, Sergey Brin and Larry Page.

The Music's Over for Tower Records

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Tower Records has played its last tune.
On Friday, after a 29-hour auction, most of the bankrupt music retailer's
assets were sold to liquidation firm Great American Group, which bid
$134.3 million. The company outbid Albany, N.Y.-based retailer Trans World
Entertainment by a mere $500,000.
According to Tower attorney Peter Gurfein, Great American was set to begin
liquidation and going-out-of-business sales Saturday.
An internal e-mail to employees from Tower CEO Joseph D'Amico said the
company's Web operation, Tower.com, its label 33rd Street Records and its
real estate holdings were sold separately.
D'Amico -- a bankruptcy specialist who succeeded outgoing CEO Allen
Rodriguez in July -- said in his message, "My heart goes out to each of
you who have poured your hearts and souls into this great company."
The sale sounded a bitter final bar for Tower, which operated 89 U.S.
stores. Once the dominant music retailer in the country, the 46-year-old
company attracted consumers to its spacious stores with flashy
merchandising and a focus on deep catalog in a breadth of musical
categories. Its store on Hollywood's Sunset Strip was a legendary
music-biz hangout. But Tower's fortunes waned in the late '90s as severe
price competition from big-box merchants, the growth of Internet sales,
piracy and some ill-advised international expansion eroded sales.

March/April 2006; www.fair.org/index.php?page=2848)
Thus, here in Britain, Guy Keleny of The Independent claims:
"A free press, run commercially, has to set a firewall between the
journalistic writing and the advertising that pays the bills. [...]
The journalists do not allow their reporting to be muffled by the
interests of advertisers, and the advertisers are free to say what
they like in the space they have bought (subject to the law and
industry codes) without regard to the newspaper's editorial
opinions." (Guy Keleny, 'Errors & Omissions,' The Independent,
October 7, 2006)
We wrote to Keleny on October 9, suggesting that the picture he
painted of a firewall between reporting and advertising did not
pertain to reality:
"For example, are you aware that last year BP and Morgan Stanley both
issued directives demanding that their ads be pulled from any edition
of a publication that included potentially 'objectionable' content?
BP went so far as to demand advance notice of any stories that
mention the company, a competitor of the company or the oil and
energy industry in general. [FAIR, op.cit.]"
We pointed out that such agreements are not exceptional. We also quoted FAIR:
"While these demands may seem like an egregious intervention into the
editorial process, the truth is, as one anonymous editor told [trade
journal] Advertising Age (May 16, 2005), there's 'a fairly lengthy
list of companies that have instructions like this.'"
We noted that in his 'Errors & Omissions' column Keleny had omitted
to mention that the quality press, including the Independent, is
dependent upon advertising for around 75 per cent of its revenue. It
would be irrational to claim that this has no impact on shaping the
content of his newspaper. As Keleny's former editor Andrew Marr has
written of his profession:
"The biggest question is whether advertising limits and reshapes the
news agenda. It does, of course. It's hard to make the sums add up
when you are kicking the people who write the cheques." (Marr, 'My
Trade,' Macmillan, 2004, p.112)
This structural compromise is well-understood throughout the
mainstream. In April 2004, Nick Taylor, editor of the Guardian's
Spark magazine, told us candidly:
"Ever worked on a magazine launch? The first and only real questions
are: who will advertise in [the] product? Will it be read by people
whom advertisers want to reach?
"Readers/viewers/listeners are the most important thing to any
publisher or broadcaster. But, from an economic point of view, [this
is] primarily because high numbers of readers means high ad revenue.
And media survive only through ads. I and all writers/editors/
broadcasters would love it to be different but there is no option -
the basic cost of producing the Guardian every day is (of course)
more than the cover price."
We ended our email to Keleny by saying that we "hope that you are
willing and able to respond to the above points, please. These are
vital issues, are they not?"
The following day, Keleny responded as follows:
"I didn't know that about BP and Morgan Stanley. But threats by
advertisers to boycott publications that print things they don't like
are nothing new. Every local weeekly newspaper gets them from time to
time. The question is whether or not the editor gives in to them. I
imagine some do and some don't." (Email from Guy Keleny to David
Cromwell, October 10, 2006)
This is the sound of a firewall sputtering! Recall Kelenys bold as
brass comment in his article: The journalists do not allow their
reporting to be muffled by the interests of advertisers.
Spin Cycle - The Rotating Greenwash
FAIR's annual report pointed out that as well as subverting
potentially damaging news reports, powerful advertisers also like to
ensure that they are associated with positive spin. Thus, the October
31, 2005 issue of Time magazine featured a section titled "The Future
of Energy". This focused on attempts to find alternatives to oil and
to make oil production more efficient. FAIR summarised the piece:
"Throughout the feature were full-page ads for BP, with taglines like
'investing in our energy future,' explaining how the company is
pursuing alternatives to oil. BP is also mentioned by a source in
Time's feature article as one of the more innovative energy
companies. That, presumably, was free." (FAIR, op. cit.)
Many Media Lens readers will be aware that BP advertising regularly
appears in the Independent, with full-page ads in the print edition
as well as BP 'Target neutral' ads on frequent rotation in the online
edition (as they are on the Guardian's website). Such rotating ads
are essentially tools of greenwashing spin, presenting a false image
of a huge oil corporation working tirelessly to turn away from fossil
fuels towards a greener future based on clean and renewable energy.
It is no surprise that BP is spending big money to reach audiences
provided by The Independent and The Guardian - relatively influential
and affluent readers with (often) left-liberal-green leanings. By
launching a pre-emptive strike on people who might be sceptical of
fossil fuel giants, BP aims to get them "on side". The implicit
message is: "We're like you - we're concerned about the environment
and about climate change. We're doing something about it by going
green - by going 'beyond petroleum'. We're all part of the same
movement".
Would senior Independent editorial staff, we wondered, be willing to
debate such important matters?
Knowing that the paper's editor, Simon Kelner, famously never replies
to readers, we instead emailed his deputy, Ian Birrell:
"Good to see The Independent's front-page story today (Michael
McCarthy, 'The century of drought,' The Independent', October 4,
2006) - although the online article is surrounded by BP ads,
ironically.
"Why does your newspaper group continue to take advertising revenue
from BP, a corporation that:
"(a) causes untold damage to climate stability; and
"(b) attempts to cover its tracks by using full-page ads in The
Independent boosting its supposed green credentials?
"As the Oxford-based group Corporate Watch points out:
"'BP's strategy of appropriating the language of environmentalists
and positioning itself as a socially responsible company on the issue
of climate change by buying up a solar company (for a fraction of the
amount it spends on oil acquisitions) is a clear example of a company
attempting to take intellectual leadership of an issue where it finds
itself criticised, and has been well documented elsewhere.
(Corporate Watch, 'What's Wrong with Corporate Social
Responsibility?,' p.5, 2006; http://www.corporatewatch.org/?lid=2670)
"As a longstanding reader of the Independent, I hope you will feel
able to respond to this email please." (Email to Ian Birrell from
David Cromwell, October 4, 2006)
Despite a gentle nudge by follow-up email, Birrell has maintained a
stoic silence. Emails to Imogen Haddon, managing editor of The
Independent and Independent on Sunday, as well as Charlie Burgess,
her recent predecessor who is now a media consultant, similarly went
unanswered.
Meanwhile, lucrative corporate ads continue to spin in the news
media, totally segregated - so we are told - from the steely gaze and
independent investigations of the corporate-employed news reporter.
SUGGESTED ACTION

Kid's Click and Search Engines
A poster to EDTECH asked why the Kids Click site was only a directory
shell with no content in the links.
KidsClick
<http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/KidsClick!/>
EDTECH Post Regarding Kids Click
<http://tinyurl.com/og2lw>
My Original Response on EDTECH
<http://tinyurl.com/rxys7>
When I first saw this question, I did not think to check the title in a
search engine to find a new home even though I prognosticated that the
site might have moved and this turned out to be correct. Nevertheless, as
noted to me privately and perhaps on the EDTECH list, Google links to the
old site as the top hit and only second to the new and working site.
I took a look at results in some other search engines.
Look Smart has the old site third, fifth and sixth, while the up to date
site is all the way down in the eighth slot. Lycos, Netscape, and MSN have
two or three old site hits before the up to date current site with actual
content is listed, the old site hits being above the link to the current
site in these search engines. By contrast Ask, Yahoo, DMOZ Online
Directory Project, AllTheWEb, and AltaVista have the up to date site as
the first hit. Google Directory also has the up to date Kid's Click as
the first hit. One move that would greatly help matters would be for the
content of the Berkeley site to be a link, automatic transfer or other
method of getting users to the current site with content, rather than
providing an empty shell of the site that can lead people to assume the
site has ceased to exist. On DMOZ, the only site shown is the site that
currently contains content. By the way, Teoma is now Ask.com.

Major Search Engines and Directories
By Danny Sullivan, Editor-In-Chief
April 28, 2004
<http://searchenginewatch.com/showPage.html?page=2156221>
I am certain that more up to date lists exist, but this got me to several
search engines to do a bit of comparing on this matter. Exercises like
this would be good to provide students with an understanding that one
source, even one search engine, can give a very different picture of
the information sought than other search engines or sources. A search of
"Martin Luther King" in Google, for example and with quotation marks
included, leads to a hate group as the first hit. How many other search
engines of those a student checks lead to the same result? Such a search
question would require a student to learn how to find a search engine
directory and then use it to evaluate varying search engine search
results.

A SPECIAL ON VOYEURS AND EXHIBITIONISTS
Confessing Selves
by Katrina Stuart Santiago
BEFORE blogging, there were personal diaries or journals, much of them
associated with teenaged drama queens looking for ways to let out
their angst (thank God they chose pen and paper instead of, say, bolos
or voodoo dolls).
Today bloggers come in all shapes, sizes, ages, and genders, and the
topics are as varied. All blogs, however, are still forms of
self-expression, which is probably why authorities aren't so happy
about them in countries where the state reigns surpreme.
The second i Report feature in our series on voyeurs and
exhibitionists looks at the blogging phenomenon and the explosion of
self-revelations across cyberspace. Written by Katrina Stuart
Santiago, "Confessing Selves" explores some of the reasons why people
write and read blogs. For the blogger, at least, writing one's
thoughts down is empowering. As Santiago writes, "To sit, and write,
and `publish' as we've done surreptitiously through the blogs is to
assume that there is something special in what we have to say, that
there is something unique in our articulation, that there is an amount
of importance in those words."
Elsewhere, "those words" could empower others as well. In this
country, blogging for most is still an activity done mainly for
self-gratification. But there's always hope.

The Future Of Newspapers

[excerpt]
The Big Three U.S. auto manufacturers. Downtown department stores.
Video rental stores. Minicomputer manufacturers. All fell, or are
falling, in the face of competitors who used disruptive innovations
to change the game. Is there reason to believe that old-school
newspaper companies can survive?
After spending a year studying the problem in the course of the
"Newspaper Next" project that Innosight conducted with the American
Press Institute, our answer is a resounding yes.
Our belief is not an academic one. Over the last five months, we
conducted demonstration projects at a handful of U.S. newspaper
companies. Although it's too early to point to billion-dollar
businesses, we have seen mind-sets shift and managers get excited as
they see the massive growth potential that still exists for the
industry.
But success will not come easily. Driven by shifting customer
behaviors, the media landscape is changing at an unprecedented pace.
Fundamental changes are reshaping the media environment and are
sending waves of disruption throughout the industry.
Newspaper companies do, however, have real assets to bring to the
table. Despite declining circulation, the daily paper still produces
cash flow that many other industries eye with envy. The core content
produced by newspapers is the basis for many of the industry's
disruptors. Without newspaper content, there isn't much news for
television to report, bloggers would have less to blog about, and
Yahoo! News and Google News would be blank pages. Furthermore,
newspapers have strong brands and highly skilled employees.
Newspaper companies have only begun to scratch their innovation
potential. To succeed, they have to learn to look at markets in new
ways. They must invest to create new capabilities and rethink the way
they work individually and collectively.

EPA Scientists Losing Access to Journals
EPA Scientists Losing Access to Journals
Cuts in Subscription Budgets Take Scientific Journals and Eco-News Offline
By: Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER)
Published: Oct 9, 2006 at 09:10
<http://www.yubanet.com/artman/publish/article_43537.shtml>
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is sharply reducing the number of
technical journals and environmental publications to which its employees
will have online access, according to agency e-mails released today by
Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER). This loss of
online access compounds the effect of agency library closures, meaning
that affected employees may not have access to either a hard copy or an
electronic version of publications.
Citing budgetary shortfalls, cancellations of online subscriptions will be
felt more sharply in some EPA offices and regions than others.
<snip>
In addition to technical journals, EPA is also canceling its subscriptions
to widely-read environmental news reports, such as Greenwire, The Clean
Air Report and The Superfund Report, which summarize and synthesize
breaking events and trends inside industry, government and academia.
Greenwire, for example, recorded more than 125,000 hits from EPA staff
last year.
As a result of these cuts, agency scientists and other technical
specialists will no longer have ready access to materials that keep them
abreast of developments within their fields. Moreover, enforcement staff,
investigators and other professionals will have a harder time tracking new
developments affecting their cases and projects.
"EPA's professionals need current information in order to do their jobs,
but with each passing month, even these basic tools are being put off
limits," stated PEER Executive Director Jeff Ruch, whose organization has
been drawing attention to EPA's shuttering of its technical libraries.
<snip>
Ironically, EPA managers had sought to ease employee concerns about
library closures by claiming that the agency "is implementing a new
library plan to make environmental information more accessible to
employees," according to a mid-September e-mail sent to all Headquarters
employees concerning the closure of the Headquarters library.
