Senate Begins RSS Rollout

"Senator Joseph Biden (D-Del.) is the first Senator with a RSS news feed for press releases on his official site. Feeds for other senators will soon follow according to Jason Blum in Enterprise Systems Support of the office of the U.S. Senate Sergeant at Arms. Plans call for what Blum refers to as 'RSS relay agents.' These are local customized feeds for hometown constituents for NOAA weather alerts and state news." [RSS in Government]

Biden's feed is here. This is really thrilling news, and maybe it will even prompt legislators to post more substantial news more often to their sites!

In addition, if your library runs a community or news site, don't forget that you'll be able to re-post these feeds on that site. After all, they can't be copyrighted or licensed since they're funded by taxpayer money and they come from our government, right? (At least for the moment....)

Richard Gere and Chief Islamic Justice

Richard Gere and Chief Islamic Justice
in Palestinian Pro-Vote PSA
01/03/2005 10:27 AM

One Voice is a project lead by my friend Daniel Lubetzky. He is doing a lot of cutting edge work bringing peace to the Middle East particularly by trying to amplify the moderate voices of the people in Palestine and Israel. We have been bugging him to start a blog and he did. He's given us a scoop on his new blog.

The first-ever Get-Out-The-Vote Campaign in the Palestinian Authority, conducted by OneVoice-Palestine, is about to release a Public Service Announcement that will turn heads: it juxtaposes Sheikh Taysir al Tamimi, the Chief Palestinian Islamic Justice, and Father Attallah Hanna, the Patriarchite of the Greek Orthodox Church in Jerusalem, with Richard Gere, the film star and humanitarian. They all encourage the Palestinian people to go out and vote. Sheikh Tamimi calls it a "religious and a national commandment" to participate in the elections.

The 1 minute ad will air on Palestinian National TV as well as on local Palestinian stations during the week prior to the Presidential elections.

Electronic Voting Machine Shown To
Mis-Record Votes


Electronic Voting Machine Shown To
Mis-Record Votes
05/14/2004 03:14 PM
One of the silly arguments of those defenin g poorly designed electronic voting machines is that there's never been any evidence that they miscount votes. Well, there goes that argument. Found over at Freedom to Tinker is news of some research done on electronic voting machines used in Florida elections that clearly show the machine's voting image and the audit logs do not match, which could lead to votes being lost or not counted properly. What's scary about this is that the report noting these problems was written a year ago and, even those these problems were known, the machines were still used and the same problems occurred again. As always, the local election supervisor claims that, even though they know about this problem, it's no big deal. She claims that the only problem is with the audit system - and not the vote tabulation. Of course, if the audit system doesn't match the vote tabulation there's no way to know that the vote tabulation actually works properly. Even worse, the "workaround" the supervisor came up with was basically to use uncertified software. What's wrong with a paper trail again?

Ohio Authorizes E-Voting, Wants Paper
Record Within Two Years
05/10/2004 11:53 AM
While California is banning all e-voting machines unless they agree to some fairly strict security provisions, it looks like Ohio has now auth orized the use of e-voting machines for the November election. The state will require a paper trail for e-voting machines - but not until May of 2006. If they're going to require it anyway, I don't see why they shouldn't require it now. This basically means that for the next two years we have no way of knowing how accurate votes from Ohio will be.

Who Needs Facts When Opinions Can Be
Inserted Instead?
03/29/2005 05:32 PM
While actual studies looking at the language skills of kids who send instant messages and SMS text messages suggest that there 's no difference in language skills, why should actually looking at the subjects stop those who are worried about the impacts of these communications technologies? The folks over at Reader's Digest -- who built their whole business on the idea of "condensing" things down -- have published a study saying that many parents believe that such messaging technologies harm the vocabulary skills of their kids. Of course, the headline is more inflammatory than reality, because it's still less than half of parents who believe so (a quarter of parents believe such technologies help vocabulary skills). Still, the problem with this study is that it's not studying the actual issue at all. It's studying what parents think is happening, as opposed to what is actually happening. However, for many people that distinction gets lost, and they assume the study actually says something it never did.
