after student wins PEN award 04/20/2004 07:25 AM
A creative-writing student in a prison in Connecticut won a $25,000 PEN American Center prize for the work she did in jail. The prison system responded by erasing all of the writing produced by her and her classmates.

15 women inmates lost up to five years of work when officials at the prison's school ordered all hard drives used for the class erased and its computer disks turned over...

Department of Correction Commissioner Theresa Lantz halted the writing program March 29 after learning that inmate Barbara Parsons Lane had won a $25,000 PEN American Center prize for her work on the 2003 book "Couldn't Keep It To Myself: Testimonies from our Imprisoned Sisters."

Today your teacher announced that your school is going to have a science fair and students are responsible for exhibiting their projects. What do you feel? Enthusiastic? Despondent? Dreadful? Fearful? Excited?" This statement opens the Super Science Fair Projects site. Actually, whether student or parent, science fair projects, while great ways to get students actively involved in learning the scientific method and problem solving, can be tough assignments. This site may help you with one of the hardest parts: coming up with an idea. The site does a great job of walking the visitor through the steps needed to plan and implement a project, from Choosing a Topic, the Scientific Method, and writing the Project Report. There are even tips on displaying your project, rehearsing, winning over judges, and what to expect the day of the fair. This is definitely a great tool to tap into when planning a science fair project.[From The NSDL Scout Report for Math, Engineering, and Technology, Copyright Internet Scout Project 1994-2003. http://scout.wisc.edu/]

Saudi computer science grad student
makes the news

Saudi computer science grad student
makes the news 04/15/2004 11:36 AM

This story on Sami Omar al-Hussayen is worth the pain of (free) registration at WashingtonPost.com.  Here are a couple of excerpts:

Defense attorney David Nevin portrayed his client as a well-liked leader of the university's Muslim Student Association who had been quick to publicly condemn the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Hussayen, the father of three young boys, is not an angry Muslim who hates the West, he said. On the contrary, Nevin added, he comes from a well-to-do family that has traveled the world. "He doesn't hate the United States. He doesn't hate Western values. That's not who he is," Nevin said.

Hussayen, 34, a doctoral candidate in a computer science program sponsored by the National Security Agency, is accused of creating more than a dozen jihadist Web sites and of moderating a global e-mail group that in February 2003 posted an "urgent appeal" for Muslims in the U.S. military to supply information about American forces and facilities in the Middle East that could be selected as targets for acts of terrorism.

Displaying a chart that showed the links among more than a dozen Web sites, [federal prosecutor] Lindquist told the jury that Hussayen managed "an Internet network -- a platform," and that "the content of this platform was extreme jihad -- terrorism."

...

The Saudi Embassy has pressed for Hussayen's release and is paying for his top-flight legal defense team, which includes Joshua Dratel, who represented Wadih Hage, a former aide to Osama bin Laden.

The case is interesting because Mr. Hussayen's main defense is based on the First Amendment though he is not a U.S. citizen.  If the U.S. government doesn't like someone residing in a foreign country it is free to shoot a missile at the guy's car and summarily kill him.  If, on the other hand, an enemy manages to score himself a student or tourist visa and arrives on our shores we can't touch him because he is now entitled to a variety of protections under the Constitution that were designed for (presumably loyal) citizens.  Sami Al-Arian, the computer engineering professor from University of South Florida, attempted a First Amendment defense as well [Mr. Al-Arian, a Kuwaiti national whose application for U.S. citizenship was turned down based on his fraudulent registration to vote in the early 1990s, is a great example of the American Dream because the taxpayers of Florida are still paying his salary while he sits in federal prison awaiting his trail in January.]

The Ancient Greeks took the rules of hospitality, xenia, very seriously.  Certainly running off with your host's wife was out of the question and thus the abduction of Helen was a sufficiently serious breach to warrant the Trojan War.  Most of our recent troubles with terrorism stem from Arab guests in or immigrants to the United States.  So far the government's response seems to be an attempt to reduce the number of guests and/or screen them more thoroughly for existing connections to terrorist organizations.  In the long run, however, this seems doomed to fail.  You can't expect someone to abandon his beliefs simply because he is visiting the United States or has immigrated here, even if one of those beliefs is hatred of American society.  My prediction:  within the next five years there will be calls to restrict constitutional rights to citizens.  It will be noted that in 1787 everyone in the U.S. was either a citizen, the property of a citizen (slaves), or expected to become a citizen.  It will be argued that times have changed.  Thanks to commercial airlines millions of people land on our soil every year with no intention of joining the society.  Thus a distinction should be made between U.S. citizens and guests.  The counterargument will be that the rights of the Constitution are universal and should not only be extended to guests on our shores but also to human beings anywhere on the planet.  We shouldn't be supporting dictators in poor countries if they won't guarantee U.S.-style rights to all of their citizens and certainly we should not be engaging in extrajudicial assassination of our enemies.

FeedDemon Wins SIA Award

FeedDemon Wins SIA Award 07/19/2004 11:26 PM

Last night I returned from this year's Shareware Industry Conference, and I'm pleased to report that FeedDemon won an SIA award for "Best Internet Enhancement or Utility." I'm not much of a public speaker so my acceptance speech was shockingly brief, but I do want everyone who attended to know how thankful I am that I won.

Unfortunately, my laptop's modem died while I was away, so I've got quite a bit of catching up to do. If you're waiting for a reply to an email or forum question, you should hear from me during the next 24 hours or so.
