ttp://eprints.anu.edu.au/archive/00002196/01/c_res_pract.pdfExecutive Summary:In the context of the
emerging knowledge-based economy, innovation and the capacity of the
national innovation system to create and disseminate scientific and
scholarly information are increasingly fundamental determinants of
national prosperity. In their foundational work on National Innovation
Systems, the OECD observed that prosperity in a knowledge economy
depends as much, if not more, on the knowledge distribution power of
the system than it does on its knowledge production power (OECD 1997,
p43). This makes the infrastructure supporting research communication
and collaboration, information search and access, and dissemination
and publication a key element of the national innovation system. It is
essential, therefore, to provide cost-effective access to, and
dissemination of scientific and scholarly information in support of
research and its economic, social and environmental applications. This
study examines evolving research practices, focusing on how practices
are changing and what the implications of those changes are for
scholarly communication and the future development of the research
infrastructure. It outlines a coherent agenda for the evolutionary
development of a sustainable research information and scholarly
communication infrastructure.[David Dillard April 4, 2005

to a court case that's, like, weirder than Michael Jackson and
the Scott Peterson trial combined. Murder, dismemberment, lapsed
Mormons, the death penalty, and Playboy model Kerissa Fare.
This week, a jury in Martinez, a small town outside San Francisco,
will retire to consider the bizarre, brutally violent cult surrounding
one Glenn Taylor Helzer, a lapsed Mormon accused of bludgeoning and
dismembering five people in an elaborate extortion racket intended to
hasten the second coming of Jesus Christ.
Helzer, a former stockbroker who has already pleaded guilty and faces
the death penalty, exerted a charismatic hold over an eclectic group
of followers including his younger brother, a former girlfriend turned
Playboy centrefold model, and a self-described "good witch" who once
offered to raise money for Armageddon by appearing in porn
films.

Well, if you don't like my beliefs, I
can sue you
Well, if you don't like my beliefs, I
can sue you
03/29/2005 03:44 AMFlorida is set out to squash "leftist totalitarianism" by
introducing a
bill that allows students to sue professors in universities for
"not respecting the beliefs of the students".
To quote:
According to a legislative staff analysis of the bill, the law
would give students who think their beliefs are not being respected
legal standing to sue professors and universities.
Students who believe their professor is singling them out for
“public ridicule” – for instance, when professors use the
Socratic method to force students to explain their theories in class
– would also be given the right to sue.
"Some professors say, 'Evolution is a fact. I don’t want to
hear about Intelligent Design (a creationist theory), and if you
don’t like it, there's the door,'" Baxley said, citing one
example when he thought a student should sue.
Rep. Dan Gelber, D-Miami Beach, warned of lawsuits from students
enrolled in Holocaust history courses who believe the Holocaust never
happened.
Similar suits could be filed by students who don’t believe
astronauts landed on the moon, who believe teaching birth control is a
sin or even by Shands medical students who refuse to perform blood
transfusions and believe prayer is the only way to heal the body,
Gelber added.
Hooray. We know all what happened in Russia
when ideology became more important than facts... And what will
happen when lawyers start running the universities? Not that they do
already, but at the moment they've not been messing with curriculums.
Here's a direct link to the bill text.
The bill is quite interesting, as it really does not sound very bad.
In fact, principles and ideas embodied in it do sound very grand and
liberal! However, what it really says is that students have a right
to hear what they want, and should someone infringe on that, they
could be sued. Since the bill does not define what is
"controversial material", or "serious scholarly
viewpoints", it becomes very difficult to determine what has to
be included in the curriculum and what not - simply because
seriousness and controversy are based on personal opinions.

Marine Refuses to Use Guns
... Marine Cpl. Joel D. Klimkewicz converted to the Church of
Jesus Christ and Latter Day saints while in the Marines, and now
believes that killing is against Jesus' teachings. As such, he
refused to train with a gun though he says he would be willing to
clear mines and work the front lines. The result is that the military
has jailed him for his religious beliefs, convicting him of disobeying
a direct order. Anyone think that Bill O'Reilly is going to say the
military is trying to destroy Christianity?

Computer Games (1978): I actually have a copy of this book in
paper, dug up in some used book store pile ages ago, but now, you can
revel in its full glories online.
Before there were sprites and polygons and first-person-shooters,
before there were there were teletypes chattering out lines of text.
And there were paper tapes for you to store your work. Right around
the time Richard Nixon was being kicked out of office, I was learning
BASIC by reading the code to some of these games. (We didn't get them
from the book -- they were just floating around on the minicomputer we
timeshared.) "Hammurabi," a sort of primitive, text-only SimCity, was
the one I and my circle of friends latched onto -- and proceeded to
amend. Because all these programs were free and, in the manner of
their time, open source. [Thanks,
