Australian government to provide Internet filters for families

June 22, 2006 Australian Minister for Communications, Information Technology and the Arts Senator Helen Coonan announced on Wednesday that the federal government would be spending $116.6 million on a package of measures to protect Australians from inappropriate material on the Internet. Dubbed "Protecting Families Online", the package includes free filtering software for all families.

The government claims that its National Filter Scheme will be central to the package. In addition to providing families with free filtering software, the government will also provide libraries with filters for Internet terminals. It is hoped that the filters will ensure that children using the Internet from libraries can do so without being exposed to inappropriate material.

As part of the package, the government's Internet safety and advisory agency — NetAlert will be located within the Australian Communications and Media Authority — the chief regulatory authority for telecommunications, radiocommunications, Internet and media services. The government will also give NetAlert an additional $5 million to spend on advertising to promote its services.

In addition to the Protecting Families Online package, the government will again examine (ISP) level filtering. A trial will be carried out in Tasmania to determine its effectiveness. According to Senator Coonan it is the fourth time the government has undertaken such a trial.

As part of the trial, the ACMA will be required to report on ISP level filtering around the world and work with NetAlert to investigate advances in filtering technologies.

Senator Coonan assured Internet users that the initiatives were only to protect children from inappropriate material and the government wasn’t dictating what adults could access. "This is not a one-size-fits-all approach to protecting Australia families and we are not dictating to every Australian Internet user what they should and shouldn’t see," she said.

Science academies urge teaching of evolution

June 22, 2006

The Interacademy Panel on International Issues (IAP), a global network of the world's science academies, has released a statement urging parents and teachers to provide children with 'the facts about the origin and evolution of life on Earth'. The statement is signed by 67 of the 92 member academies of the organisation, and notes that in some schools around the world, "testable theories" about evolution are being "concealed, denied or confused by theories not testable by science".

The statement presents four "evidence-based facts" that no scientific evidence has ever contradicted. These include the Earth being approximately 4.5 billion years old, life on Earth being at least 2.5 billion years old, and commonalities in all living organisms indicating a common primordial origin based on the process of photosynthetic organisms.

The news follows developments, mainly in the United States, where there is a concerted effort to include the teaching of 'intelligent design' (ID), a theory which claims that complex biological features indicate that the presence of an intelligent 'designer' in schools. Opponents of this movement argue that it doesn't qualify as a scientific theory, and is simply a disguise for creationist beliefs. In the US, where the separation of church and state is mandated by constitutional law, efforts to include ID in school syllabi were quashed by the courts, as the teaching of religion in schools is against the Establishment clause of the constitution of the United States. Despite this, George Bush has in the past remarked that he believes intelligent design should be taught in schools. The President has not shown any sign of plans to personally intervene in the legal debate however.

In December 2005, following legal case between the parents and the school district of Dover (Pennsylvania, USA), the judge decided that intelligent design was a religious view, and that it was unlawful to teach it as an alternative to evolution within the classroom. The IAP statement suggests that the science academies believe that ID is still being taught within some schools, however.

A Gallup poll conducted in May concluded that 46 percent of Americans believe that God created man in his present form sometime in the past 10,000 years, with 13 percent believing mankind evolved with no divine intervention and 36 percent saying that mankind developed over millions of years from lesser life forms, but with God guiding the process.

The IAP statement acknowledges limitations in current understanding, but argues that the process of science allows it to be open-ended and subject to correction and expansion as new understanding emerges.

Talk:Interview with BBC Creative Archive project leader

Interview
Transcript of the interview (or an MP3 of the audio atleast) to come...

Comments from Suw Charman
Firstly, Paul Gerhardt (the project leader) mentioned that there would be always be some material that the BBC will want to exploit commercially (eg via DVD sales), even though some people may have recorded it on their PVRs, etc.

He pointed to a three tier system:
 * 1) ) content sold commercially
 * 2) ) content available for free via 'view again' eg media player
 * 3) ) creative archive

And suggested that content would move down between the modes (with some material going straight to creative archive).

Do you think the BBC is right to continue to exploit its content commercially (using DRM), in order to help bring in revenue?

 * I think it's absolutely correct that the BBC should continue to sell its content commercially, but it needs to examine more closely whether it should continue to use DRM.

 * DRM distorts the traditional tradeoffs associated with copyright, reducing the consumer's fair dealing rights. This has a particularly serious impact on the visually impared, who can be prevented from accessing media that they could otherwise enjoy because DRM makes it impossible, for example, for 'fansubbers' to add closed captions to uncaptioned material.

 * As a public broadcaster, the BBC has a duty to provide the best service it can to all members of British society, and, in very simple terms, DRM reduces the usefulness and usability of content that the public have already paid for via the licence fee.

 * For our full opinion on the problems with DRM, you can se our submission to the APIG public inquiry: http://www.openrightsgroup.org/orgwiki/index.php/APIG_DRM_Inquiry_Submission

The BBC has also made some pledges to the commercial sector, to help assure them over their concerns, one of which is that the content isn't available in broadcast quality. Do you think that this cripples the project?

 * The higher the quality of material released, the better, but I don't think that it's a significant issue. People are happily using low-quality footage from mobile phones, digital cameras and other non-broadcast quality sources already, so they will not be put off by quality unless it is dreadfully poor. The inventiveness of film-makers and mash-up artists is not restricted by the quality of the footage they use but by the amount of material they have access to.

 * I hope quality will improve over time, as the commercial sector come to realise that this project is not going to damage their business, but could potentially enhance it by raising awareness of and interest in archival footage.

On a general point, how important do you think the BBC Creative Archive project is within the general trend of 'open' content?

 * It's a nice project, but it is flawed - for the moment at least. The 'UK Only' section of the licence doesn't make sense in a world where information moves between continents in seconds, and where it is difficult for the average user to exclude visitors based on geography.

But I think that it is a good step along the way to a more open attitude towards content. It is a toe in the water, which is far preferable to the attitude of most of the industry players, who are simply burying their heads in the sand and hoping that lawsuits and lobbying for new legislation will bolster their out-dated business plan.

 * The creative industries have lived in a world where they controlled the distribution of content and could easily create artificial scarcity, and they are struggling to understand their position in a world of abundance. Music, film, text - it is all more freely and widely available now than ever before. As the creative industries very slowly begin to realise that this is an opportunity, not a threat, and that you can make more money by opening up than locking down, they will start to release more and more content.

 * In many ways, they have to, because if they don't make their stuff available, someone else will.

If you have any other comments on the CA project, feel free to add them too.

 * I am broadly supportive of the Creative Archive project. It is moving ahead in a rights landscape which is a veritable minefield. Many old-school rights holders with whom the BBC must negotiate fail to see the opportunities, and their decisions are based on misunderstanding and fear. There is a very long way to go before the Creative Archive realises its potential, but I ferverently hope that it is eventually successful.

Preparation
I'm going to be inteviewing the project director of the BBC's Creative Archive project on Thursday, talking about the project generally, and the letter posted recently by Free Culture UK.

If you have any specific questions you think I should add, leave them below...

Thanks for the opportunity, I hope I have not missed your slot.

Q. How do you think the BBC's Archive project will engage with the older generation? - many would no doubt pass on a wealth of knowledge given the chance, perhaps as our society goes digital many, if not most, of out senior citizens will remain isolated.

Thanks

Ghana beat United States of America 2-1 in Group E

June 22, 2006 In a game that on paper pitted youth and talent versus experience and organisation Ghana came out on top with 2:1 the score at the final whistle, Thursday.

There was not much difference between the two sides, the youngest squad in the tournament versus the 2002 Fifa World Cup quarter-finalists, although the manner of the Ghana win might have left a sour taste in the mouth of USA coach Bruce Arena.

Early in the game, Claudio Reyna was dispossessed with the ball in a last man defensive position. Haminu Draman ran on to goal with the ball and one-on-one passed it by Kasey Keller. Reyna was stretchered off with a knee injury; the USA captain came back on but was substituted before half time.

Landon Donovan took the USA captaincy following Reyna's departure.

The second Ghanian goal was from a penalty. The ball was played into the USA penalty area and Razek Pimpong fell to the pitch next to Oguchi Onyewu. The replay was not conclusive but did show the defender's arms were not in a position to push hard on the Ghana player who had appeared to make a rapid fall.

Though he was the last defender before the goalkeeper Onyewu was not cautioned for the challenge. Stephen Appiah converted the penalty inside right foot to top left of the net, seconds before half time.

United States had drawn level from Clint Dempsey on 43 minutes when DaMarcus Beasley intercepted a defensive pass and weighted the perfect ball for the striker to run on too.

The crowd booed the referee when the half time whistle blew but in the second half their team did not do enough to put Richard Kingston, and the Ghana goal, under pressure. The USA got just three shots on target in the game.

Ghana conceded 32 fouls in the game and the pressure on their defence increased in the second half when they had to defend their lead.

From Eddie Lewis's short cross to the near post Brian McBride went closest to making the score 2-2 flicking a header onto a vertical. Donovan got in good positions, a freekick close to the penalty area and a run into the box, but in both cases his decision to pass badly and not shoot relieved the pressure for Ghana.

A feature of the game the FIFA Technical Study Group might look at was the number of Ghana players who spent a long time on the ground with injuries under challenges. There was five minutes of injury time at the end of the match. This meant the game ran well past the finish time of the concurrent contest between Italy and Czech Republic also in Group E.

The half-time kick-off also started five minutes behind the match Italy won to top the group. One point ahead of a Ghana team who had reached the round of sixteen in just their first Fifa World Cup finals.

Italy sink Czech Republic 2-0 in Group E

June 22, 2006 Italy began this Group E fixture knowing a draw would be enough to get into the round of sixteen, Thursday.

Despite having had to replace key central defender Alessandro Nesta, who was injured after 17 minutes, the Azzuri defeated the Czech Republic comfortably.

Italian fortunes were helped when on 46 minutes the Czech Republic had Jan Polak sent off for his second yellow card offense within a 12 minute period before half-time.

Before that Italy had gone ahead with Nesta's substitute rising well to meet and head down Francesco Totti's corner. Marco Materazzi had an exceptional game with Fabio Cannavaro and was awarded Fifa's Man of the Match.

It was thought Alessandro Nesta's groin injury meant he would miss the round of sixteen and possibly any later World Cup matches Italy would play.

For the Czech Republic 33-year-old Pavel Nedved worked very hard for little reward - other than perhaps a showcase final appearance at a World Cup against a very good side.

On 15 minutes Gianluigi Buffon was forced to make a double save from Nedved's drive and Marek Jankulovski's follow-up from a close angle.

In the second half Filippo Inzaghi came on for Alberto Gilardino and on a number of ocasions found himself unmarked behind ten man Czech Republic's lines. He put his first chance - a free header six yards out - wastefully wide but rounded the keeper to score on a breakaway three minutes from time.

The result meant Italy would play the runner-up of Group F in the round of sixteen, while Karel Bruckner's Czech team would check out of their hotels.

User talk:216.244.55.172

First off, we really appreciate your contribution.

But sometimes users submit an article from somewhere else, not realizing that Wikinews cannot keep copy-and-paste versions of articles which are published elsewhere under a restrictive copyright. An article created in this way is a copyright violation, and Wikinews policy is to erase these even if they are excellent article ideas.

Another problem which sometimes comes up is press releases. Press releases are sometimes excellent sources, but they do not qualify as unbiased news articles so they can't be published as they are. Two key things to remember about press releases is that they're usually written to represent the viewpoint of an involved party (Thus likely running foul of our Neutral Point of View policy). And second, they are generally covered by copyright which can conflict with our open editing approach.

A better way to get an article on an exciting subject published here is to write an original article following the guidelines described in writing an article, or to write a brief explanation of the subject and include the url address of articles or websites to use as sources.

Thanks again! Bawolff ☺☻ 20:00, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Garden at Elmwood and Forest in Buffalo, N.Y. dedicated

Yesterday, a recently-planted garden and "Welcome to the Elmwood Village" sign at the corner of Elmwood and Forest Avenues in Buffalo, New York was dedicated to the community at 6 PM. The garden was planted by a group of local citizens known as the Elmwood Village Gatekeepers, who formed to maintain the green space on the corner which is unmaintained by Hans Mobius, the owner of the land and properties at 1109-1121 Elmwood.

"This is our neighborhood, and we don’t want to see it go down-hill. The lawns are part of the look of this corner that we love, and we can do something about," said Joe Runfola an area resident.

The Gatekeepers are hopeful that the "annuals and the perennials planted in the garden can be enjoyed by all for years to come," said owner of Don Apparel with Patty Morris, Nancy Pollina.

Local artist Steven Myers and owner of Gateway Studios on Elmwood and Forest painted the new welcome sign.

"In the design, I wish to show the transition from green parks, to lively urban neighborhoods, to downtown, in the background. The four colors, red, white, yellow and black will also be incorporated in their pure form to represent the Native American medicine wheel, which teaches us that the four symbolic races are all part of the same human family," said Myers.

The newly formed group hopes to plant an elm tree at the proposed site in July.

So far, 2 of the 5 businesses on the proposed site have relocated or closed their doors. The group is hopeful that a lawsuit filed against the developer Savarino Construction Services Corporation and the City of Buffalo will stop the proposal from moving forward and hope that the garden can become a "community garden."

The preliminary hearing, which was scheduled for 9:30am today was initially postponed until July 20, 2006; however, attorney Arthur J. Giacalone, who is representing the petitioners of the lawsuit Nancy Pollina and Patricia Morris, Angeline Genovese and Evelyn Bencinich, owners of residences on Granger Place which abut the rear of the proposed site, Nina Freudenheim, a resident of nearby Penhurst Park, and Sandra Girage, the owner of a two-family residence on Forest Avenue less than a hundred feet from the proposed hotel's sole entrance and exit driveway, has said that the preliminary hearing has been postponed indefinitely and at the moment no new date has been set. According to Giacalone, Savarino Construstion has not yet presented their case and has not yet filed their papers.

Australia draws with Croatia 2-2, advances to next round in Group F

June 22, 2006 Australia drew with Croatia 2-2 in a drama-packed final Group F game in Stuttgart, Thursday.

The draw put Australia on four points and Croatia on two, allowing the Australian team, nicknamed "The Socceroos", to progress into the Fifa World Cup round of sixteen.

The action-packed match, which was witnessed by 52'000 at Gottlieb Daimler Stadion, had controversy throughout the game.

Croatian defender Stjepan Tomas handballed two Australian crosses within the Croatian penalty area; but only one penalty was given. This was inconsistent with matches such as the clash between Serbia and Montenegro against Côte d'Ivoire (The Ivory Coast), where Milan Dudic of Serbia and Montenegro committed two fouls against Côte d'Ivoire the previous day and both penalties were awarded on that occasion.

There was high tensions in the last moments of the match, as Croatia was desperate to get a winner while Australia did not want to concede. This is reflected by the fact that this game was only the fifth time in World Cup history (and the second time in the 2006 World Cup) where three players had been shown a red card in one match. The other times were 1938 - Brazil vs. Czechoslovakia, 1954 - Brazil vs. Hungary, 1998 - Denmark vs. South Africa, and 2006 - USA vs. Italy.

Three players were shown two yellow cards, but in the confusion of the last few minutes of the match, English referee Graham Poll had only sent two of those players off the field.

Dario Simic was first to go after fouling Harry Kewell, halting an Australian breakaway. Australian Brett Emerton walked when he committed a handball foul, preventing an attacking pass by Croatia.

Josip Simunic should have gone at the 90 minute mark when Poll flashed him a second yellow card for what may be described as a rugby tackle in a last ditch attempt to stop another Australian breakaway.

The referee failed to realise that he had booked Simunic 61 minutes into the game and allowed him to stay on until he was booked a third time after the end of injury time three minutes later. In the Fifa match report, the last booking was also officially recorded.

Poll later claimed to the Fifa referee committee when he booked Simunic for the second time he had marked down the number of Australian Craig Moore instead.

An earlier drama in a second half saw Croatia's go-ahead goal. Tim Cahill fail to challenge Niko Kovac until the edge of the Australian penalty area; this resulted in Kovac using the space for a low shot at Australian goalkeeper Zeljko Kalac. Kalac's egregious attempt at the save seemed almost like a dive out of the way when the ball hit a bad bounce in front of him, and rolled into the net.

The game started spectacularly with arguably the best freekick goal the tournament seen to this point, scored by Darijo Srna. Right footed, 30 yards out, he curled it over the wall and past the out-stretched right hand of Kalac into the top left corner of the Australian net.

On 37 minutes Poll penalised Tomas' handball and Craig Moore converted the penalty shot easily down the middle. Stipe Pletikosa gave plenty of space for Moore to shoot, having committed his dive a metre left while Moore was still having his run up.

Pletikosa later made two outstanding saves, a reaction stop from Kewell and then to grab a low cross amidst flying legs on his goal line.

Australia had more shots at goal and ball possession in the match, and their second equaliser came 11 minutes from time. Marco Bresciano's cross was flicked onward by John Aloisi, allowing Kewell to strike past Pletikosa near the far post.

Australia manager Guus Hiddink might think the match was a rather surreal affair, but the reality is he has progressed Australia into the round of sixteen for the first time at the World Cup finals. Italy, winners of Group E, will meet them in the round of sixteen.

Talk:Australia draws with Croatia 2-2, advances to next round in Group F

I've got all the formatting ready, everyone's allowed to edit this, I don't plan to add much more content. - Kookykman|(talk) 21:15, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Headline
I don't like the new article title much - it doesn't read well, if indeed it is even English.--AYArktos 23:43, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm sure it means something to, well whatever sport its about, but it isn't very clear. however I havn't read the article yet so I have no better suggestions. Bawolff ☺☻[[image:smile.png]] 00:12, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
 * It's a sort of colloquial English which treats a collective noun as if it's plural. "Australia" is being treated as a plural because it contains plural elements (players). Not all speakers of Commonwealth English use collective nouns to refer to their elements, but the larger problem is that collective noun usage isn't consistent within the story. I'll re-write the headline to something similar to what Kookykman wrote originally and edit the story a bit. Karen 01:24, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

 * I had planned that all the Group stage articles were to end "_________ in Group _". For consistent style reasons. Would "Australia draw with Croatia 2-2 and advance to next round in Group F" be okay? Ealturner 11:47, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Australia draws with Croatia 2-2, advances to next round in Group F? would avoid the plural "Australia" (draw and advance), which sounds awkward to some. It was one of the titles earlier. I'll change it for you and fix all links and redirects. Karen 19:32, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Miami win the NBA Title, beat Dallas 95-92

June 22, 2006

The Miami Heat won their first NBA Title in franchise history Tuesday beating the Dallas Mavericks 95-92. Dallas initially led the series 2-0. Miami then went on to a surprising turnaround and won four straight to win the title.

Alonzo Mourning, Gary Payton, and Dwyane Wade all won their first NBA Title. Pat Riley last won the title 18 years ago and Shaquille O'Neal last won the title 4 years ago. Of the most active NBA players, O'Neal has four NBA Titles, the second most NBA Titles of active NBA players.

With 9.1 seconds left, Wade, who scored 36 points this game, missed two free throws giving Dallas one final chance to tie the game. A three-point field goal attempt by Dallas' Jason Terry hit the rim but failed to fall into the basket.

A championship parade is scheduled for 2 P.M. on Friday in downtown Miami, Florida.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called JECompton. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name JECompton~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Brazil defeat Japan 4-1 in Group F

June 22, 2006Brazil came from a goal down to beat Japan 4-1 in an entertaining last Group F game, Thursday.

Two goals from Ronaldo put his combined Fifa World Cup tournament tally at 14 - equal to German Gerd Muller and two more than fellow Brazilian legend Pele.

The game against Japan did not go the Brazilian's way until the second half. Yoshikatsu Kawaguichi had made five stunning saves to deny Ronaldo, Robinho and Juninho.

Inspired, Japan then shocked the 2002 World Cup champions when, against the run of play, Japanese left-back Alessandro Santos - "Alex" - found Keiji Tamada in the Brazilian area with only Dida to beat. The striker slammed the ball home.

Ronaldo leveled with a deserved equaliser just before half time when Cicinho headed Ronaldinho's ball across goal for Ronaldo to head past Kawaguichi.

The Japanese keeper saved 10 of 14 shots in a one-sided match but, despite his earlier heroics, was at fault for Juninho's go ahead goal which he seemed to lose in the flight as it rifled in from 25 yards.

Ronaldinho sent Gilberto down Japan's right flank to score the third and Ronaldo wrapped up the victory with a stunning drive from outside the box.

The total of 15 fouls in the game was to that date the lowest of the tournament and indicates this was not a physical contest; rather, both teams focussed on passing and movement to create scoring openings.

"Modern football at its best" was the opinion of Gyorgy Mezey of Fifa's Technical Study Group.

Brazil topped Group F with nine points and would play the runner-up in Group E, Ghana, for the right to get into the World Cup quarter-finals.

FOX to produce new 'Futurama' episodes

June 23, 2006

20th Century Fox will produce at least 13 new episodes of the animated series Futurama, scheduled to air on Comedy Central in 2008. Futurama, an animation from The Simpsons creator Matt Groening, was canceled by FOX in 2003.

Comedy Central has recently acquired the rights to the back catalogue of 72 Futurama episodes and any eventual new episodes.

"We are thrilled that Matt Groening and 20th Century Fox Television have decided to produce new episodes of 'Futurama' and that Comedy Central will be the first to air them," announces Comedy Central senior vice president for programming David Bernath.

Voice actors Billy West (Fry, Professor Farnsworth), Katey Sagal (Leela) and John DiMaggio (Bender) are all contracted to return.

Australian Internet filters "belated": Opposition

June 23, 2006

Speaking in the Australian House of Representatives on Thursday, opposition leader Kim Beazley (Brand, Labor) asked Australian Prime Minister John Howard (Bennelong, Liberal) why the government had not adopted Labor's policy on Internet filtering.

Mr Beazley said that the government's Protecting Families Online initiatives were a belated response to Labor's policy of "clean-feed" filtering - where pornographic and other inappropriate material is filtered at the Internet Service Provider level. He asked why the government would not "swallow its pride" and introduce the policy proposed by Labor.

In response, the Prime Minister said that the package announced by his government on Wednesday achieves the goals of protecting children without "imposing the unreasonable restrictions and cost burdens of the Labor Party’s policy".

In April, the Internet Industry Association - the apex body representing Internet related businesses in Australia dismissed the idea of ISP-level filtering, calling it "inappropriate and heavy handed". The association said despite network level filtering working in schools and large corporations, it would more than likely impact network performance on large service provider networks.

The IIA said that providing users with filtering software and supervision of children's online activities by parents are the most appropriate means by which to protect children using the Internet.

Pluto's moons named

June 23, 2006 The two recently discovered moons of the planet were officially named  and  by the, the internationally recognized authority for assigning designations to celestial bodies.

The moons were discovered in May last year by the Pluto Companion Search Team, a team of scientists from the (SwRI), the 's Applied Physics Laboratory (APL), the  and, using images taken from the Hubble space telescope. The moons were designated as S/2005 P1 (Hydra) and P2 (Nix) upon discovery.

Their discovery comes 27 years after the discovery of Pluto's largest moon. The two moons are roughly 5000 times fainter than Pluto and two to three times farther from Pluto, compared to Charon. The two bodies are roughly 50 km in diameter.

The names are derived from Greek mythology, where is a monster with the body of a serpent and nine heads and Nix is the goddess of darkness and night. is also the mother of, an allusion to the giant impact which is believed to have created the three satellites of Pluto, with Charon borne of the material from which Nix formed. himself is the god of the underworld.

Talk:Australian Internet filters "belated": Opposition

Question for our Aussies
Has the ALP always been this social conservative? Yesterday there was an article about their support for a gay marriage ban and now they want to censor the Internet. Seems odd for a party that supposed to be the more progressive one in an essentially two-party system. --Deprifry|+T+ 10:26, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
 * The ALP has generally been fairly centrist, being a socialist organisation. Lately (and this is an opinion) they have been getting more and more like the conservative parties - Cartman02au (Talk)(AU Portal) 10:50, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
 * The ALP has been in opposition for 10 years, and they're doing their damndest to get re-elected. They've probably perceived a shift to the right in the Australian population, and so are trying to capture those votes. - Borofkin 03:24, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Doesn't any political party in Oz represent the interests of fiscal conservatives? 120 million AUD in federal funds as glorified corporate welfare to censorware authors and ISPs on behalf of a self-righteous minority seems ridiculous beyond belief. 71.162.255.58 05:09, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Film project aims to raise £1 million to make a Creative Commons-licensed film

June 23, 2006 Matt Hanson aims to raise £1 million to fund the production of a feature-length film which would be distributed freely via the Internet under a Creative Commons licence, all funded through 50,000 people each donating £25 to the project, which he's called 'A Swarm of Angels'.

No stranger to filmmaking, Matt has produced numerous digital short films, a series of books on digital filmmaking and set up the digital film festival onedotzero, now in its tenth year. He wants to finally make a feature length film, and decided that it was better to turn to the Internet for help and funding rather than plod through the usual 'development hell'.

"I wanted to put into practice what I’ve been preaching as a film futurist for ten years, and the technology and Internet infrastructure has just really caught up with that vision now for me to put it into practice."

The process is inspired by the 'web 2.0' movement, using social and collaborative communities on the Internet. Matt doesn't see the funding as coming from donations, but as people paying a subscription to become part of a 'Swarm'. "Rather than the 'many producer' model, this is more of an [sic] 'smart consumer' model ... members can help implement and bring their expertise into play, and so become more actively involved in the production." The project hopes to use professional actors and crew, but use qualified members from the swarm as much as possible. The cast and the crew, including any volunteers that get chosen, would be paid for their work on the film, with Matt suggesting that this is "a great way for people to get into the industry".

Those members not directly involved in making the film can still participate in the process by discussing ideas on a messageboard, and having a vote on certain crucial decisions such as which script gets chosen for production. Asked how he would balance his own creative direction with input from members, Matt said "my vision will lead the project forward and define the parameters, but the Swarm can influence that, and indeed offer improvements or insights I might not think of alone".

"Remember filmmaking is always a team effort - whether you are Martin Scorsese, Stanley Kubrick or Jean Luc Godard, you promote people within the project that will complement and bring something extra to the vision of the film. Give it more life. With the Swarm we are making that process more democratic, and giving a wider range of people an opportunity to shine and have creative input."

Members are promised a collector's edition DVD of the end product and exclusive merchandise, but the main distribution of the film will be via the Internet, using 'BitTorrent' and peer-to-peer networks. "Unlike many other filmmakers, I'm not wedded to cinema projection as the 'be all and end all' - I'm much more excited about people viewing remixed versions on their video iPods," explains Matt.

The 'remixing' of the film will be possible thanks to it being distributed under a Creative Commons licence. Matt suggests that the 'younger generation' is more used to being involved with and interacting with entertainment, and points to remixes of the Star Wars films (eg 'The Phantom Edit') as an example of these 'mashups'. "At the end of the project I would love to have an event that showcased five wildly different versions of the film, different visions from people other than my definitive initial edit," he suggests. The licence will be for non-commercial use only, however, and so commercial TV stations would still have to pay in order to screen the film.

The project is partly inspired by the success of 'The Million Dollar Homepage', in which British student Alex Tew aimed to raise a million dollars to fund his university education, simply by selling advertising space on a single web page. The publicity surrounding the idea, coupled with the 'viral' effect of Internet users passing the page on, meant that he eventually managed to make himself the million dollars.

The success of these projects partly seems to depend on them being interesting and original enough to attract enough attention, and it’s often difficult to see how they could be repeated. Copy-cat versions of the million dollar homepage have so far failed to hugely take off. When asked about this idea, Matt responded "I already expect people to copy the model we are inventing with A Swarm of Angels - it's a perfect way to create cult media, where the director gets more creative control and organically funds a project, and the fans of the project get more involvement within it. If the market gets too crowded with these projects though, then they’ll have to be packaged differently to stand out. But that’s what traditional film and media projects need to do anyway."

Over 600 members have signed up to the 'swarm' so far, which Matt comments is already an early success, but 50,000 members in total will be needed in order to fully fund the £1 million budget. Matt suggests that getting to the next stage, of reaching 1,000 members, followed by the phase of getting 5,000 members, will be the hardest part, as after that the film will be more 'tangible'. He expects to raise the full budget, but comments that if the fundraising stalls, "options will be presented by advisors and The Swarm, and based on some kind of consensus we’ll come up with the best option for moving forward."

Traditionally, independent films are funded either through persuading wealthy individuals to invest, who sometimes are sometimes given 'Executive Producer' credits, or through organisations like the UK Film Council, who award funds from the National Lottery. A tax credit for producers making small films in the UK was announced by the government in 2005, in a bid to give a boost to the UK independent film industry.

Matt says that the film will be "a thriller with soft science fiction elements", which he says will suit his target audience. "But it will have an indie edginess to it, and be far more visually inventive than you would get with a 'normal' British independent feature." Contributors to the project include artists The Kleptones, who will help with the soundtrack, comic book writer Warren Ellis and documentary filmmaker Grant Gee.

The Swarm of Angels project is online at aswarmofangels.com and costs £25 as an individual to become a member.

Talk:Film project aims to raise £1 million to make a Creative Commons-licensed film

Interview with Matt Hanson
E-mail below:

Frankie, Your answers. Hope you like... What was your inspiration behind the project and why did you decide to ask for donations? Two things really: one, the idea of Web 2.0, and the evolving social and collaborative communities on the Internet, and two, the first book I wrote which is a sort of manifesto on the future of film in the digital age, called The End of Celluloid. I wanted to put into practice what I’ve been preaching as a film futurist for ten years (I created the world's largest digital film festival back in 1996 which is still going) and the technology and Internet infrastructure has just really caught up with that vision now for me to put it into practice. I’m not asking for donations, but offering a £25 subscription to the Swarm: rather than the ‘many producer’ model, this is more of an ‘smart consumer’ model: people get access to a range of project media, from the film itself as well as spin-off podcasts, video and merchandise. Members can also help implement and bring their expertise into play so become more actively involved in the production. They are buying into an experience, taking part in a media art experiment, rather than simply handing over £25 for a couple of CDs, or a special edition DVD. How important do yout think it is that your finished movie will be available for free distribution and for other people to remix? I want A Swarm of Angels to be a landmark project in remix culture. Digital technology is so good at replicating data/media, and the younger generation is far more used to being involved and interacting with entertainment. So why not free it? Reinvent film, so people can remix it freely (they are already doing this with the Phantom Edit, the Star Wars reedit, and all the Trailer mashups online – but A Swarm of Angels makes this far more fundamental to the process, and legal). At the end of the project I would love to have an event that showcased five wildly different versions of the film, different visions from people other than my definitive initial edit. I’ve produced VJ events in the past that created ‘live films’. So this is an artistic experiment, that other people can utilise too. By giving it away for free for personal use we are showing that you can create a new type of commercial model for filmmaking (commercial use isn't free: so tv stations for example still need to pay for rights to show it) How much of the project will be your own creative input and direction, and how much will come from members of ‘the swarm’? My vision will lead the project forward and define the parameters, but the Swarm can influence that (and indeed offer improvements or insights one might not think of alone). Remember filmmaking is always a team effort. Whether you are Martin Scorsese, Stanley Kubrick or Jean Luc Godard you promote people within the project that will complement and bring something extra to the vision of the film. Give it more life. With the Swarm we are making that process more democratic, and giving a wider range of people an opportunity to shine and have creative input. Even if you have no filmmaking expertise, you still get your voice heard, and can make an impact by voting on key creative decisions, such as which of the two initial scripts go forward into production. If your project is successful and you get the million pounds, do you envisage lots of other films copying your model, and how sustainable do you think that would be? I think the project is already successful—we’ve gathered over 600 subscribers already in the most difficult stage of the project when the film is at its most ‘intangible’, and the only promotion has really been through select blogs on the Internet. We haven’t touched ‘mainstream media’ yet. This is a deliberate way to get to the 1000 mark of a 'development community'. We are scaling it up gradually. The membership rounds and funding go in phases. But to get to the target of a million pounds which needs 50,000 members, momentum needs to pick up once more of the script and creative elements are in place. Getting to the 1000 mark is the hardest of the phases actually, closely followed by the next phase, up to 5000 members. Of course, I already expect people to copy the model we are inventing with A Swarm of Angels. It’s a perfect way to create cult media, where the director gets more creative control and organically funds a project, and the Swarm and fans of the project get more involvement within it. It becomes a much more immersive and rewarding experience for everyone. Definite limits to the model exist though: I don’t know how it would scale up from a million pounds, even though a million pounds in the sense of this project with the savings that can be made from going the all-digital route make it equivalent to a $3-4 million dollar film. But that’s a decent budget for an indie film. If the market gets too crowded with these projects, then they’ll have to be packaged differently to stand out. But that’s what traditional film and media projects need to do anyway. Also, just in terms of me gathering information for the piece, what kind of film do you think it will be, and rougly how do you think the budget would be spent? The film will be a thriller with soft science fiction elements – this suits our target audience, and everyone likes a thriller (it’s the most common genre). But it will have an indie edginess to it, and be far more visually inventive than you would get with a ‘normal’ British independent feature. I found a great term for this type of film on Wikipedia applied to books – slipstream literature. It falls in the gap between mainstream literature and science fiction writing, and is most defined by having a ‘strangeness’. In terms of budget: it will be the same as a ‘normal’ professionally produced film, except for the fact we can get more value for our money by using cutting edge digital technologies, and using an all-digital route to our audience. We don’t have to worry about distributing it, or making celluloid prints: that belongs to the last century. '''Will you be employing professionals on the project, or using entirely volunteers? And will you be shooting on digital or film?''' Professionals have already signed up to the Swarm: we have screenwriters, set builders, visual effects and animation people, cameramen etc. They are as interested in this new way of working as the people outside the industry. Priority will go to qualified members of the Swarm in terms of crewing the pic, but we want to give the volunteers (who if they get chosen for a role will get paid like the pro’s) a chance too. This is a great way to break into the movie industry for people. I’ll be using professional actors, and filling in the gaps in the production if I can’t get the right person from the Swarm. Of course, we’ll be shooting digitally, and distributing digitally – this is filmmaking for the digital age after all. I expect the film to be projected digitally too. The Film Council is just putting into place a digital projection network in the UK, and most other countries are doing the same. But unlike many other filmmakers I’m not wedded to cinema projection as the ‘be all and end all’. I’m much more excited about people viewing remixed versions on their video ipods, and downloading the film through bittorrent and p2p networks.

Talking to some members of the project
-I'm writing up an article on the Swarm of Angels project for Wikinews and -BBC News online.

-Can I just ask why you decided to become a member? What was your main -motivation, when you can get the finished film for free anyway?

Frankie,

I'm sorry if I missed your deadline...I hope not.

Like I told Matt, I came across the project on BoingBoing.net, which I recently started reading with more frequency. The post focused on the collaborative aspect of the project, but also name-dropped Warren Ellis, whose writing I love (Transmetropolitan, in particular). His faith in the project is one thing, but I really took to the project description on the page, and see the potential in this new way of producing media.

I had participated in a similar project that the German industrial band, Einsturezende Neubauten did to produce their (second?) last album. The creative process wasn't as open, and I don't remember even taking advantage of all the exclusive online recording session videos, or special rereleases of unreleased material, etc. I believe that for that project, I just felt it was important to contribute monetarily to realize a project by a band that I enjoy under new conditions. In the end, it became apparent that they had undertaken the process a bit willynilly, and the resulting original copy of the album (including a poster with our names on it) was lost in the post. Disillusioned, yes, but if it's done right, I think this sort of process might lead to much better (or at least more appealing to my friends and me) media. Think of it as opensource production.

If we look at it economically, though I'm hesitant to put an artistic venture in this light, imagine the financial contribution as the added value derived from a product. For example, the movie Serenity, or even Ellis' Transmet, two projects I LOVE, are worth much more to me than the going market- rate for such products. I'm willing to invest my time and money to see these artists realize their vision, even if I'm an unemployed expat in South America. With Ellis and the Kleptones on board, their sign of appro- val gives me some sort of faith that Matt can make something really good, independently of the collaborative process, which adds another layer. So, it comes down to this process filling a consumer niche for cultural/art works in much the same way those sites that bring together venture capitalists and inventor-entrepeneurs do. It's just that I'm willing to forego future profits, because I'll enjoy the work so much more.

I'm also looking into this type of process to get a good idea for a website I'd like to realize in the near future...nothing so complex as ASOA, but it serves as good inspiration.

Sorry to be so long-winded. Again, I hope this helps.

Stem cells used to cure paralysis in rats

June 26, 2006

Dr. Douglas Kerr, a neurologist at Johns Hopkins University, has recently led a research team to identify enough of the chemicals necessary to regrow motor neurons. They have succeeded in partially restoring paralyzed rats' ability to walk.

These results represent major progress towards curing many nerve-related problems in humans, such as Lou Gehrig's disease and spinal cord injuries. However, Dr. Karr emphasized that it will be many years before any possible treatments for humans become available.

Dr. Naomi Keitman of the National Institutes of Health's neurology division said "They did something that people have been trying to do for at least 30 years and literally hit a brick wall until now."

The research will be published in the Annals of Neurology.

Ukraine advance after win against Tunisia in Group H

June 23, 2006 Ukraine beat Tunisia by an Andriy Shevchenko penalty in Berlin to advance to the round of sixteen, Friday.

Roger Lemerre, coach of Tunisia, might consider his team were unlucky as the match seemed to turn on officiating decisions that favoured the Ukrainians.

Ukraine went into the last Group H game needing a draw to go through to the round of sixteen while Tunisia needed a win. It was a competitive match without much flair or accurate passing.

A total of just nine shots and six corner kicks and the 42 fouls amassed suggested that the game was mostly played in the centre third of the pitch.

The first of three things to go wrong from the Tunisia perspective was the sending off of arguably their best player Zied Jaziri. He got his second yellow card a minute before half-time for a mistimed challenge which followed a yellow card for foul simulation earlier in the game.

The second crucial moment, when the score was still 0-0, appeared to follow from an Andriy Rusol foul a few yards away from his penalty area on 64 minutes. The caution Rusol received meant he would miss Ukraine's next Fifa World Cup match.

Anis Ayari took the freekick and got it up over the wall; it was close enough to going in that it landed on the netting on top of the goal. Unfortuantely for Tunisia television replay showed a Ukrainian player in the wall, inside the penalty area, stuck his arm up and the ball had clipped his arm on the way through.

This was the fifth time in three days at the World Cup players in defensive positions had put their hand up in their own penalty area to stop balls; it also happened in Portugal versus Mexico; Serbia and Montenegro versus Ivory Coast; and Croatia versus Australia. In this match no penalty was awarded for the handball.

Four minutes later Andriy Shevchenko made it 1-0 for Ukraine from the penalty spot. There was some question about whether the award was just. Although Shevchenko had done well to nip past the Tunisian keeper, and had two defenders in close vicinity, he had appeared to trip himself when he tapped his own left ankle with his right foot.

For neutral fans in the Olympiastadion a bright spot in a scrappy match came on on 89 minutes when Ali Boumnijel made a brilliant save from Andriy Voronin. Voronin was one-on-one with the Tunisian and the save seemed to block an almost certain second goal for Ukraine.

By that time the game was done and dusted and Ukraine were through to the round of sixteen of the Fifa World Cup for the first time in its history.

Spain edge out Saudi Arabia 1-0 in Group H

June 23, 2006Spain beat Saudi Arabia by the slim margin of a single goal in Kaiserslautern, Friday.

Except for an unlikely scoreline, the result of the game would not change the position of the top two teams in Group H and Spain started the game resting most of its first choice team.

The Spainish dominated the game but did not take its chances to make a hefty scoreline against the team that was 29 places below them in the Fifa rankings.

On 88 minutes Saudi Arabia nearly made Luis Aragones's side pay when Mohammed Noor ran to the Spainish goaline and cut a ball back for Saad Al Harthi who, with a good view on net, hit his shot high over the bar.

Saudi Arabia had 41 per cent of ball possession and otherwise were confined to hitting the red shirts on the break. They were caught offside five times.

Jose Antonio Reyes and Joaquin were brightest attacking players for Spain and had a number of chances to score but either their finishing was off or Mabrouk Zaid saved well. The Saudi Arabian keeper had an outstanding game saving 12 shots.

The Spanish passing game lacked a bit of speed and the only goal came from a well executed set-piece after half an hour's play. Reyes, on the left touchline whipped in a vicious cross and Spanish defender Juanito rose 12 yards from goal and headed down powerfully inside the near post.

Though the result was not comfortable and could have ended in a draw had Al Harthi not spurned his glorious chance Spain won their last Group H match with what were essentially reserve players. Luis Aragones would enter the round of sixteen game against France, runners-up in Group G, with a first team of well rested-players.

Sealand wrecked by fire

June 23, 2006

The Principality of Sealand is currently being checked, after a fire caused havoc to the ex-World War II tower. Fire fighters from the Thames Coastguard poured water onto the structure, and rescued a security guard who was taken to Ipswich hospital by an RAF helicopter, suffering from smoke inhalation. It is believed that the fire was started by a fault in a generator. The Harwich off-shore lifeboat team attended the platform, and described the top platform as having caught alight due to an 'electrical fire'.

Sealand, formerly HM Fort Roughs, is a self declared principality comprising of an old army fort. It was built to deter, and report back on, any German attempts to lay mines using aircraft in the channel of the Thames. The offshore company HavenCo used it to hold servers for the computer industry.

Talk:Seven plotted to blow up Sears Tower

Work
This is quite a big story, which we should cover, but the article definately needs more work. I haven't had a chance to look into the story fully yet, but I imagine that they will be issues in reporting the plans as fact if they haven't been completely proven yet...

 * Not sure how big the story really is. I just read over the idictment. The "support" it lists which they asked for and received from the informant consists of "military boots", "digital video camera", "rental vehicle". They asked for other items, like radios, cash, rental vehicles, weapons and uniforms. That does not look like a high level of organization to me. According to the indictment it seems that the most damning evidence against them is that they swore an "oath of loyality" to al-Qaeda and did a lot of talking about what they might want to blow up and took some video footage of buildings. Good that these guys are off the street, but according to the indictment this is not nearly as big of a deal as the media makes of it. --vonbergm 01:03, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for looking into that - I had suspected that that might be the case.... Frankie Roberto 01:20, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
 * title needs npoving. CNN interviews reveal that one of the "terrorists" the feds said was called "Sunni" is actually a guy who has been called "Sonny" since he was a little kid. 64.229.184.36 03:13, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Removed by request?
Really? The terrorists actually requested that it was removed - or is it blatant vandalism? --Skenmy(talk) 19:46, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Switzerland shut door on Korean Republic 2-0 in Group G

June 23, 2006 Switzerland dashed the Fifa World Cup dreams of the Republic of Korea beating them 2-0 to top Group G, Friday.

Republic of Korea (ROK) could not break through the Swiss defence even after they lost center-back and goal scorer Philippe Senderos to a shoulder injury on 53 minutes.

Earlier the 21-year-old rose majestically and thundered in a header from Hakan Yakin's freekick. The centre-back put so much neck power into the contact he headbutted Korea Republic defender Jin-Cheul Choi on the follow-through. Jin-Cheul and Senderos both needed medical treatment for cuts.

However; Senderos's imperial commitment to the Swiss would not last what seemed to be a shoulder injury just after half-time and he was substituted on 53 minutes. With the experienced Hakan Yakin on great form in midfield the side did fine without him.

After hitting a post with a shot Alexander Frei scored the second for Switzerland on 77 minutes. Frei received a deflected pass onside and rounded Woon Jae Lee to side foot home.

The goal caused some controversy because the referee allowed it though his linesman had flagged for offside. Korean Republic players knew the second goal would make it almost impossible to win the game against the Swiss defence with only 13 minutes left.

Indeed, Koebi Kuhn's Switzerland team were to complete a three match shut out. Six foot six Pascal Zuberbuehler in the Swiss net had eight saves in the game bringing his total to 21 saves in three World Cup matches.

The 2002 World Cup semi-finalists had most ball possession and looked dangerous when the creative Chun Soo Lee was in possession but lacked strength in the penalty box and a decisive finisher to beat Zuberbuehler.

Though under quite a bit of pressure in the second half the Switzerland team were never ruffled and conceded only eight fouls in the match to Korea Republic's 20 fouls.

The result meant Republic of Korea who had four points would finish third in Group G behind France on five points, after the French beat Togo, Friday. Switzerland would face Ukraine in the round of sixteen, the winner of that match playing the victor of Italy versus Australia in the quarter finals.
