25th Annual Human Rights Watch Film Festival Announces Lineup
The 25th edition of the Human Rights Watch Film Festival will run from June 12 to 22, 2014 with a program of 22 films that bring human rights struggles to life through storytelling, and remind us that film can be a powerful source of change and inspiration. The festival is co-presented by the Film Society of Lincoln Center and IFC Center.
This year's program is organized around five themes: Armed Conflict and the Arab Spring; Human Rights Defenders, Icons and Villains; Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Rights; Migrants' Rights; and Women's Rights and Children's Rights.
The festival will launch on June 12 with a fundraising Benefit Night for Human Rights Watch featuring Katy Chevigny and Ross Kauffman's Sundance award-winner E-TEAM, which follows four intrepid activists from Human Rights Watch's Emergencies Team as they investigate and document war crimes on the front lines of Syria and Libya.
The director Cynthia Hill and executive producer Gloria Steinem will be present on June 13 for the Opening Night screening of the HBO documentary Private Violence. Exploring the fact that the most dangerous place for a woman is her home, the film tells the stories of Deanna Walters, a woman who seeks justice after being kidnapped and brutalized by her estranged husband, and Kit Gruelle, a domestic violence survivor who now helps women find justice for themselves.
The Closing Night screening on June 22 will be Scheherazade's Diary, a tragicomic documentary that follows women inmates through a 10-month drama therapy/theater project set up by director Zeina Daccache at the Baabda Prison in Lebanon. Through "Scheherazade in Baabda," these "murderers of husbands, adulterers and drug felons" reveal their stories—tales of domestic violence, traumatic childhoods, failed marriages, and forlorn romances.
Armed Conflict and the Arab Spring
A number of timely films in this year's program unfold against the backdrop of pro-democracy movements across the Arab world. Abounaddara Collective Shorts from Syria are films created by Abounaddara, a collective of self-taught Syrian filmmakers whose short documentaries exploring the reality of life in their war-torn country have been posted online every week since the 2011 uprising began.
In Rachel Beth Anderson and Tim Grucza's First to Fall, two students in Canada abandon their peaceful lives to return to their home country of Libya to join the fight to overthrow Muammar Gaddafi. Scottish-Yemeni director Sara Ishaq's The Mulberry House follows a journey by the filmmaker back to her father's home in Yemen after a decade-long absence.
The Sundance World Documentary Grand Prize-winner Return to Homs takes viewers to the front lines of the Syrian conflict as two young men who are determined to defend their city abandon peaceful resistance and take up arms. The festival is pleased to present the film's director, Talal Derki, and producer, Orwa Nyrabia, both Syrians, with its 2014 Nestor Almendros Award for courage in filmmaking.
Human Rights Defenders, Icons and Villains
In addition to the Benefit Night film E-TEAM, four documentaries explore the lives of compelling figures on both sides of the human rights spectrum. Consisting of smuggled footage and uncensored interviews, Madeleine Sackler's HBO documentary Dangerous Acts Starring the Unstable Elements of Belarus follows the courageous actors of the Belarus Free Theatre, an acclaimed troupe that defies Europe's last remaining dictatorship.
Nadav Schirman's Sundance Audience Award-winner The Green Prince is a real-life thriller about the complex relationship between a Palestinian informant and his Israeli Shin Bet handler. A top prize-winner at the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam, Nelson Mandela: The Myth and Me, by the South African filmmaker Khalo Matabane, uses conversations with politicians, activists, intellectuals, and artists to question the meaning of freedom and reconciliation, and challenges Mandela's legacy in today's world.
Edet Belzberg's Sundance double award-winner Watchers of the Sky, inspired by Samantha Power's Pulitzer Prize-winning book "A Problem From Hell," interweaves the stories of four extraordinary humanitarians whose lives and work embody the vision of Rafael Lemkin, the Polish lawyer who created international law on stopping genocide and holding leaders accountable.
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Rights
Three documentaries highlight LGBT issues in the United States. Sandrine Orabona and Mark Herzog's Lady Valor: The Kristin Beck Story focuses on former Navy SEAL Chris Beck who, after decades of fighting for American ideals, discovers a new appreciation of liberty and happiness as he embarks on his most challenging mission: transitioning to Kristin and beginning life as a transgender woman.
Out in the Night is blair dorosh-walther's story of four African-American friends, who, out for a night in Greenwich Village in 2006, became known in the media as a "Gang of Killer Lesbians" when they defended themselves from the sexual threats of an older man. In Jennifer Kroot's To Be Takei, Star Trek's inter-galactic helmsman George Takei explores his private and public personas—from being William Shatner's nemesis to becoming a gay activist—as he prepares his dream project: a musical based on his childhood inside a Japanese-American internment camp.
A visual essay in five parts, Iva Radivojevic's Evaporating Borders examines how tolerance, identity and nationalism collide over migration issues on the island of Cyprus, one of the easiest entry points to Europe. Mano Khalil's The Beekeeper relates the touching story of Ibrahim Gezer, a displaced Kurdish beekeeper from southeast Turkey, and his integration into Switzerland.
Women's Rights and Children's Rights
Eight films—including festival opener Private Violence and closing night's Scheherazade's Diary—look at the rights of women and children across the globe. Jasmila Žbanić's drama For Those Who Can Tell No Tales tells the story of an Australian tourist whose summer holiday in Bosnia-Herzegovina leads her to discover the silent legacy of wartime atrocities in a seemingly idyllic town on the border of Bosnia and Serbia. Anne de Mare and Kirsten Kelly's The Homestretch follows three homeless but ambitious teens in Chicago as they fight to stay in school, graduate, and build a future.
Centered in a public hospital in Nicaragua, Alessandra Zeka and Holen Sabrina Kahn's A Quiet Inquisition looks at Dr. Carla Cerrato, an Ob/Gyn who struggles with her conscience as she is forced to navigate between a new law that bans all abortions and her training in medical protocols that enable her to save lives. Berit Madsen's Sepideh – Reaching For the Stars introduces viewers to a young Iranian woman who follows her passion for astronomy and dares to dream of a future as an astronaut.
The Indo-Canadian filmmaker Richie Mehta's stirring drama Siddharth is the tale of a father's journey across India in search of the young son he sent away to work in a factory but fears has been taken by child traffickers. Joanna Lipper's The Supreme Price charts the perilous evolution of the pro-democracy movement in Nigeria, focusing on Hafsat Abiola, an activist who returns to her embattled home to fight for democracy and women's rights.
In conjunction with this year's film program, the festival will present the exhibit The Unraveling: Journey Through the Central African Republic Crisis, a photographic investigation by Marcus Bleasdale that exposes a massive human rights crisis unfolding in a country that few people even knew existed. It will be featured in the Frieda and Roy Furman Gallery at the Film Society of Lincoln Center's Walter Reade Theater for the duration of the festival.

The Crisis in Puerto Rico Is a Racial Issue. Here's Why
Frances Negrón-Muntaner

Last week, CNN's Jake Tapper interviewed Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and asked if he thought President Donald Trump's punishing response to hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico had something to do with "race or ethnicity." Sanders hesitated a bit but ultimately said, "We have a right to be suspect."
The relative surge in coverage about Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria has floated previously avoided terms like "colony" to describe the island's troubled relationship with the U.S. rather than the misleading "commonwealth," part of the official names of states like Massachusetts and Pennsylvania.
Yet, as Sanders' hesitation suggests, the racial frame is still largely missing.
FEMA Officials Say It's Not Their Job to Distribute Food and Water to Hurricane Victims in Puerto Rico:...
Nearly three weeks after Hurricane Maria brought devastation to the island of Puerto Rico, people…
Top journalists and government figures rarely mention race as a factor in understanding Trump's negligent response to the hurricane or the U.S. presence in Puerto Rico more generally. And if race is alluded to, it tends to appear in op-eds and not in regular reporting, unless voiced by a celebrity like the British comedian John Oliver, who called out the president's behavior as "horribly racist."
Puerto Rico's crisis is not generally seen as a racial matter. But it should be.
Equally significant is that though an increasing number of prominent African Americans, including comedians Wanda Sykes and Michael Che and Flint, Mich., Mayor Karen Weaver, have expressed support or pointed to the racial politics of Hurricane Maria, its deadly impact has to date not been cast as politically urgent. The lack of a massive outcry led the black news site Hudson County Chronicles to declare, "Puerto Rico Disaster Exposes Black and Brown Divide."
In other words: Puerto Rico's crisis is not generally seen as a racial matter. But it should be.
To start, the rationale to acquire colonies in the Pacific and Atlantic on the heels of the Spanish-American War of 1898 rested on the notion of white racial superiority. The entire legal edifice that defines Puerto Rico as an unincorporated territory that "belongs to but is not part of the U.S." is unapologetically racist.
Through a series of decisions known as the Insular Cases (1901-1922), the Supreme Court opted to create a new body of law to distinguish incorporated territories on the path to statehood from the newly gained possessions (Guam, Philippines, Puerto Rico), and justify that the U.S. Constitution would not entirely apply.
The main reason given was that territorial inhabitants were unfit and not mature enough to self-govern or be part of the union because of their condition as "uncivilized" and "alien races." This view was etched in the cartoons of the early colonial period, in which Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Filipinos and Chamorros were often drawn as black "pickaninnies" in need of Uncle Sam's paternal direction.

Not surprisingly, the court that ruled on these cases was nearly made up of the same justices who reached the 1896 "separate but equal" decision in Plessy v. Ferguson, upholding state racial-segregation laws. As current U.S. District Judge Juan R. Torruella summed up, the Insular Cases were "a more stringent version of the Plessy doctrine: the conquered lands were to be treated not only separately, but also unequally." Even further, while Plessy was eventually overturned, the Insular Cases have not been. The Supreme Court still routinely relies on them to decide cases before it.
Opinion analysis: Setback for Puerto Rico's independent powers (UPDATED) - SCOTUSblog
UPDATED Friday 7:21 a.m. Puerto Rico's governor, arguing that the Supreme Court ruling is wrong,…
In addition to a new type of law, the U.S. created a new type of citizenship. Through the little-known Jones-Shafroth Act of 1917, Congress extended U.S. citizenship to the people of Puerto Rico. But unlike American citizens living in the States, Puerto Ricans were not entitled to fundamental rights such as voting for president or electing a proportional, voting delegation to Congress.
The reasons against full citizenship are also entangled in racist logic. For some policymakers, the risk was that given their makeup as "lesser races," the people of Puerto Rico simply could not understand "Anglo-Saxon principles." For others, the fear was that political incorporation would enable nonwhites to make laws for or govern not only themselves but also the "whole American people," and even "[give] the republic its presidents."
Ultimately, to the extent that Puerto Rico was considered too densely populated to make large-scale white settlement viable (as would happen in once-Mexican-majority territories like Arizona and New Mexico), unincorporation and colonial citizenship became the legal wall keeping Puerto Rico out of national governance.
As such, the granting of U.S. citizenship 100 years ago had little to do with citizenship rights. Instead, in response to the growing opposition to American colonial rule, its primary aim was to promote loyalty to the U.S., criminalize pro-independence action, and underscore that the island was not a polity but American property. As colonial Gov. Arthur D. Yager put it, the U.S. citizenship of Puerto Ricans simply indicated that "we have determined ... the American flag will never be lowered in Puerto Rico."
Certainly, Congress eventually "allowed" Puerto Ricans to elect their own governor in 1948 and draft a constitution in 1952. But Congress reserved the right to approve the constitution, and the unincorporated territory doctrine remained intact. Sovereignty over the territory still legally resided not in the people of Puerto Rico but in a group of mostly white men sitting 1,500 miles away in Washington, D.C.
Often overlooked by legal scholars, the "low" racial status of Puerto Ricans followed them into the Diaspora. As part of Operation Bootstrap, Puerto Rico's economic modernization policy of the 1940s, hundreds of thousands were encouraged to migrate to the U.S. through propaganda and measures such as lowering airfare prices so the poor could afford one-way tickets to cities like New York, Chicago and Philadelphia.
Although it has become liberal sport to insist on how different Trump is from everything and everyone that preceded him, the president's response to the hurricane is consistent with American colonial history.
Yet if settling in any of the 50 states theoretically made Puerto Ricans "first class" citizens who could now vote for president and enjoy full constitutional rights, they continued to be treated as nonwhite. Accordingly, Puerto Ricans experienced many of the same denigrating conditions familiar to African Americans: housing segregation, inferior schools, job discrimination, media vituperation and everyday violence. Importantly, this entry-level experience proved to be enduring for many: In affluent New York City, where close to a million Puerto Ricans reside, they remain among the poorest residents, with a third living in poverty.
So although it has become liberal sport to insist on how different Trump is from everything and everyone else that preceded him, the president's response to the hurricane is consistent with American colonial history. This is manifested in both the slowness and limited scale of assistance during Hurricane Maria, and by the fact that when local leaders criticized him for it, Trump defended himself by invoking century-old racial stereotypes of Puerto Ricans as lazy and ingrates who "wanted everything to be done for them."
Trump's brief visit to Puerto Rico's "best" neighborhoods also exposes another racial layer. Whereas elsewhere in the U.S., Puerto Ricans are collectively considered nonwhite, on the island, additional racialized power dynamics apply. Some of the poorest and hardest-hit areas like the municipality of Loiza are predominantly black. Assistance, however, has tended to come faster to less affected but more affluent and whiter cities like Guaynabo. Equally revealing, island politicians and government spokespeople are largely light-skinned Puerto Ricans.

All of which is why the crisis in Puerto Rico needs to be part of the national and global anti-racist dialogue. As evidenced by the hurricane's rising death toll, which will at least reach the hundreds, failure to do so will likely continue to cost lives. It will also make the task of expanding coalitions more difficult and limit the potential to address both old and new challenges like climate change.
To prevail against the present and coming storms, people may require not only better building materials but also a greater understanding of how racism takes many shapes and is constantly reassembling.

Diversity Drives Excellence
Burnett School College of Medicine
By Wendy Sarubbi | October 15, 2012 3:52 pm
Diversity and inclusion are more than counting the number of people in a medical school who are of different backgrounds. Diversity is at the cornerstone of providing health care to all, said Dr. Marc Nivet, chief diversity officer for the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC). Dr. Nivet spoke to UCF College of Medicine faculty, staff and students October 15 as UCF kicked off Diversity Week 2012.
Dr. Nivet said health care reform and demographic trends in America are requiring academic medicine to do more than just talk about diversity. "This time is different," he said. "We can't just talk about it. We have to animate it." About 32 million people will be newly insured under the nation's health care reforms and most of those new patients are low-income, under-represented minorities who have lacked coordinated care until now. Doctors will need to understand the unique needs of these patients, he said, and the fact that minorities now make up about 35 percent of the U.S. population and almost 50 percent of people under age 18.
"Ultimately, it's not diversity for diversity's sake," Dr. Nivet said. "It's a tool to achieve our mission of improving the health of the public."
He said diversity is broadening from the historical perspective based on racial and ethnic makeup to a new view that includes the LBGT community, disabled people and people of diverse ages. As a new medical school, he said, UCF has the opportunity to create a diverse culture from the ground up and make sure the college has a culture where "every person here thrives as an individual."
Dr. Nivet has visited 44 medical schools in the last two years to urge them to use diversity as a means to drive excellence and improve the nation's health. Pipeline programs, such as the College of Medicine's partnerships with Orange and Osceola under-represented high school and middle school students, can make a difference with individual students. Dr. Nivet said medical schools must also find ways to scientifically measure whether and how such programs are working.
"Diversity and inclusion are tools to be harnessed, to propel the mission of medicals schools and advance health-care quality," Dr. Nivet said.

Error In Judgment Instructions Cases
In Dupuy v. Allara, 193 W. Va. 557, 457 S.E.2d 494 (1995), this Court again examined, and approved, the giving of a "mistake of judgment" instruction where the plaintiffs asserted that a correct and timely diagnosis would have prevented cardiac failure and its consequences. In Allara, we pointed out that in Wang this Court sanctioned the use of such an instruction for the resident doctor who examined the child, treated him, and failed to diagnose Kawaski's disease. Id. at 561, 457 S.E.2d at 498. In upholding the giving of the "mistake of judgment" instruction in Allara, this Court focused on the fact that evidence was admitted at trial that "'many physicians in this particular situation would not have diagnosed the illness under these circumstances,' and that 'endocarditis can be difficult to diagnose.'" Id. In examining case law from other jurisdictions, it is clear that a movement has begun towards eradication of certain language typically contained in "mistake of judgment" or "error of judgment" instructions or elimination of those instructions in their entirety. Those courts that have rejected use of a "mistake of judgment" instruction have done so based on the inclusion of adjectival terms such as "honest," "bona fide," "good faith," or "best" in reference to the issue of a physician's exercise of judgment. The theory underlying the disapproval of such terms is that they wrongly inject subjectivity into what is otherwise viewed as an objective standard of care issue. See generally Joseph H. King, Jr., Reconciling the Exercise of Judgment and the Objective Standard of Care in Medical Malpractice, 52 Okla. L. Rev. 49 (1999). Courts and commentators have been troubled by the potential for jury confusion through the suggestion that, if the doctor in his own mind was making the "best" judgment regarding a method of treatment, the jury might be wrongly persuaded to find in the doctor's favor even though that subjective "best" judgment was in fact below accepted standard of care levels. Put another way, some courts view such instructions as problematic because they "erroneously imply that only dishonest or bad-faith deviations from the applicable standard of care constitute actionable negligence. " DiFranco v. Klein, 657 A.2d 145, 148 (R.I. 1995). Shumaker v. Johnson, 571 So. 2d 991, 994-95 (Ala. 1990) (rejecting use of "good faith" mistake in judgment instruction based on possibility of juror confusion and extending ruling to instructions couched in terms of "honest mistake" or "bona fide error"); Logan v. Greenwich Hosp. Ass'n, 191 Conn. 282, 465 A.2d 294, 303 (Conn. 1983) (disapproving "bona fide error in judgment" instruction because of implication that only errors in judgment made in bad faith can be actionable); Riggins v. Mauriello, 603 A.2d 827, 830-31 (Del. Super. Ct. 1992) (holding that "mere error of judgment" language impermissibly permits jury to conclude that physician is not liable for malpractice despite negligent administration of medical treatment); Veliz v. American Hosp., Inc., 414 So. 2d 226, 227-28 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1982) (rejecting use of "honest errors of judgment" language in defining nurse's negligence); Leazer v. Kiefer, 120 Idaho 902, 821 P.2d 957, 964-67 (Idaho 1991) (reversing on grounds that "error in judgment" instruction implied that liability can be escaped through physician's exercise of "best judgment" in diagnosing and treating patient ); Peters ex rel. Peters v. Vander Kooi, 494 N.W.2d 708, 711-13 (Iowa 1993) (disapproving instructions addressing standard of care in terms of "honest error of judgment" as wrongful comments on evidence); Ouellette ex rel. Ouellete v. Subak, 391 N.W.2d 810, 813-16 (Minn. 1986) (concluding that "mostly subjective 'honest error in judgment' language is inappropriate in defining scope of the professional's duty" but refusing to reject use of "honest error" rule on grounds that where "there are two methods of treatment for a particular medical condition, both accepted by the medical profession, . . . the doctor's choice of either is, ordinarily, not negligence" ); Parodi v. Washoe Med. Ctr., Inc., 111 Nev. 365, 892 P.2d 588, 591 (Nev. 1995) (finding error in giving of "error in judgment" instruction phrased in terms of exercise of "best judgment" and identifying "growing number of courts that have rejected error-in-judgment instruction"); Wall v. Stout, 310 N.C. 184, 311 S.E.2d 571, 577 (N.C. 1984) (holding that defining physician's liability for medical negligence in terms of "honest error" is potentially misleading and therefore inappropriate); Kurzner v. Sanders, 89 Ohio App. 3d 674, 627 N.E.2d 564, 568-69 (Ohio Ct. App. 1993) (ruling that "honest error or mistake in judgment" instruction was prejudicial as it conflicted with objective standard of care); Rogers v. Meridian Park Hosp., 307 Ore. 612, 772 P.2d 929, 932-33 (Or. 1989) (rejecting use of "reasonable judgment" where varying treatment options exist and further viewing as confusing the excusal from liability where physician acts with reasonable care and skill in exercising such judgment); DiFranco v. Klein, 657 A.2d 145, 147-48 (R.I. 1995) (rejecting use of "good faith" in "error in judgment" instruction, but upholding use of such instructions as valid statement of physician's liability for choosing an acceptable method of treatment that later proves to be unsuccessful); Shamburger v. Behrens, 380 N.W.2d 659, 663 (S.D. 1986) (finding that use of "good faith error in judgment" language in instruction was confusing); Rooney v. Medical Ctr.

I got tired of using headphones and earbuds, but my computer speakers were awful, so I decided to step up to the Mackie CR4, and I'm happy I did.These speakers are for near field listening, not for filling your room with a wall of sound.
Affordable, great sound, easy setup. Well built, solid cabinets.
Bought two sets of these for our studio. They do the job pretty well. Only complaint worth taking a star is that they get a bit of self-noise at higher volume. I'd suggest keeping the volume at 50% and using other points in your signal chain to boost the volume.
I have now bought 3 pairs of these for different locations, they're a low price with good accurate sound for a barebones amateur home studio. It would be 5 stars but 1 of my 3 pairs crapped out after about 2 years of use.
Great build quality, they look better than the pictures online. I wasn't sure about the green trim but they look good. I'm using for a multimedia/gaming PC and replaced 10 year old mini towers with 4 1" speakers on each side. I didn't know how good Iheart.com streaming music could sound.
Excellent bass and high frequency's.
None so far, my only suggestion is for Mackie to add a button or method to automatically turn power on and off for PC use.
The side with the power cord, Plays first when augmenting volume. and plays louder till about 1/4 volume.I had to push the louder one further back to get an sen sound. looks funny but ... Nice Quality when acoustics are right!
Have owned for 3 weeks now.I use these as tv speakers for an LED tv with no optical output. Sound is pretty good. Speaker terminals on the back are cheap. Other than that, I am happy with them.
Cheap speaker terminal connections on the backs.
These speakers have a large and clear sound for the size of them. Also they are very versatile with the connections. They work great with my Macbook. I would recommend these to others.
Bought these as reference monitors for home recording. They are just too easily overwhelmed and begin to distort and get fuzzy. I'm by no means cranking them up, but even at 3/4 volume with a reasonable signal (-3/-6 db), they distort (fuzzy) too much to be usable as true reference speakers.
I am very happy w this product, these speakers are better than I thought they would be for the price, many reviews ive read before purchase stated that these could use more bass, not in my opinion, the bass packs a nice punch, anymore bass would be too much for my taste!
everything you need is right in the box, easy to set up, controls on the front & easy to reach, headphones sound great through these!
none, I really didnt think I could get this kind of quality for such a low price!

Pacers vs. Pelicans: Game thread, lineups, TV info and more
The Pacers look to bounce back after a frustrating loss at home when they visit New Orleans on Wednesday.

The Pacers make their annual trip to New Orleans to face the Pelicans on Wednesday night.
This game will wrap up the season series between the teams who played their first game at BLF back on Nov. 8. The Pels won that matchup, 117-112 thanks to a double-dose of destruction from their front court of Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins. The duo combined for 67 points, 27 rebounds and 10 assists.
Still, the Pacers led at the half before getting worn out by Cousins and Davis. This time around will be a bit different since Cousins ruptured his left Achilles tendon a couple of weeks ago. New Orleans is 1-4 in the five games without Cousins as they have struggled both to slow down opponents and keep pace at the offensive end.
The Pacers hope to have Victor Oladipo back after he missed their last game due to sickness. Darren Collison had successful arthroscopic knee surgery on Tuesday and remains out until after the All-Star break.

The Java Desktop System and "real-technic"
this apparently unimportant shift in Sun's emphasis may eventually be regarded as a critical marker in a a worldwide conflict over information control
By Paul Murphy for Managing L'unix | March 14, 2006 -- 03:33 GMT (19:33 PST) | Topic: Linux
I got an interesting comment in response to last week's blog on desktop Linux in which the person refered to Stephen Shankland's CNET news report from June of 2005 entitled: "Sun steps back from desktop Linux".
What that report is about is Sun's decision to focus the Java Desktop on its own systems - here's a bit:
One casualty of the JDS changes could be a partnership with the China Standard Software Company (CSSC), a consortium of companies supported by the Chinese government, which Sun said in 2003 would adopt Sun's desktop Linux. "We're going to immediately roll out the Java Desktop System to between a half million and a million desktops in 2004. It makes us instantaneously the number one Linux desktop play on the planet," McNealy said at the time.
According to my informant, Sun got hosed on the deal with CSSC and found itself facing a choice between pretending to enjoy it or losing a big chunk of low cost revenue on the teleco and embedded systems side of their business.
If it's true that CSSC basically took the source but ignored the license, it's a lesson to all of us -and maybe an important one as communist Chinese companies, all of which are ultimately owned by the state, seek to create partnerships and other business arrangements with companies and individuals in the west.
Willy Brandt, back in the sixties, used to talk about "real politic;" a phrase that hid a policy of accomodation with the enemy -either despite or because of which he won a Nobel Peace Prize, became West Germany's Chancellor (head of state) and was widely considered a political winner until his personal assistant was shown to be an East German spy.
Commercial blackmail isn't any different or more honorable, and if history shows that Sun's fear of Wallstreet's reaction to the loss of a big chunk of business effectively enforced a policy of "real technic" then this apparently unimportant shift in Sun's emphasis may eventually be regarded as a critical marker in a a worldwide conflict over information control.
Oddly enough there's a silver lining of sorts to this -and it's in the lessons learned. What we think of as the open source movement in technology is an extension of the normal academic tradition of learning through sharing and implies that same level of mutual trust and commitment to progress. If, as may have been the case with Sun's Linux desktop venture in China, one of the parties abuses that trust then other mechanisms have to be brought in to rebalance future transactions.
One such short term response might be a general waning of corporate support for desktop Linux -something I believe we've been seeing for a year or two without adequate explanation. A more hopeful longer term response, however, might be increased support for X-terminal or Sun Ray style computing as smart alternatives to client-server, and whether that's implemented with Linux and JDS or Windows and Office won't matter as much as the change in architecture.

Kia Ceed Sportswagon 2021 UK Review
The Kia Ceed Sportswagon is a well equipped, strong estate but does it live up to the promise of the five-door hatch?
While it seems that the latest version of the Kia Ceed Sportswagon has just had a light nip and tuck, the estate still remains a popular business car and family car choice in Kia's long and impressive line-up. The Kia Ceed Sportswagon is a roomy family estate that is not only a competent and compact family hatchback-based hauler but also has the engine capacity and body of a sleek sports car.
The Sportswagon is actually one of two estate cars from Kia's Ceed family found on the market. The Sportswagon is the more upright and traditional version and is better for those who regularly pack a car up to the rafters or are piling friends and families in the back for long journeys. While not exactly daring in its design, the Ceed Sportswagon is rather swoopy compared to the rectangular Octavia Estate, even more so following its recent 2021 facelift.
The Kia Ceed hatchback arrived in its third generation in 2018 and it didn't take long for the Sportswagon estate version to follow afterwards. This impressive player in the UK market is a practical model that has matured into a real contender to competitors such as the Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer and even the venerable Volkswagen Golf Estate.
So what does the Kia Ceed Sportswagon 2021 have to offer? Let's take a look!
The latest version of the Sportswagon has a sharper, more aggressive appearance, with distinctive LED daytime running lights that sit separately from the headlights for a cleaner appearance. The front end is branded with the Korean firm's latest logo alongside a black gloss finish on Kia's familiar tiger-nose grille. This latest version also receives two large side air intakes intended to create the car's sportier appearance and there's a light rear bumper refresh, too.
Every Kia Ceed Sportswagon model has a good range of adjustment and room for the driver's seat and steering wheel, making them line up nicely with the pedals so you're not forced to sit crooked. It has just about as much room in the back as a Ford Focus Estate or Volkswagen Golf Estate and offers a great range of equipment levels. The infotainment system with 10.25in touchscreen plus intuitive and helpful buttons make the system easy to navigate while driving.
The impressive tech doesn't stop there. Alongside the 'floating' infotainment screen is Android Auto and Apple CarPlay and sat nav with TomTom maps and traffic information as standard. The entry-level '2' grade has cruise control, 16-inch alloy wheels and an eight-inch touchscreen. The flagship '3' trim adds larger 17-inch alloy wheels and privacy glass, dual-zone climate control and even a fast charger for portable devices.
Overall, the interior quality of the Kia has gone in the right direction and is almost matching the class leaders for soft-touch materials and a sturdy feel. While it can be said that the addition of more volume in the back means there's a little more interior noise when the load bay is empty but the well-sized 625-litre boot makes it easy to forgive.
How does it drive?
Two petrols and a sole diesel form the standard engine range in this Kia lineup, while a flagship plug-in hybrid petrol was introduced in mid-2020.
There's a new 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine which replaces the 1.4-litre of the older versions. The cheapest petrol engine for the Kia Ceed Sportswagon is the 118bhp 1.0-litre turbocharged three-cylinder. It provides the sort of pace most buyers will find pleasing even on the motorway.
If you expect your Sportswagon to be heavily loaded up, the 158bhp turbocharged 1.5 T-GDi petrol is a much better bet. Aside from some initial hesitation at low revs, it's effective once you've wound it up, getting from 0-60mph in 8.3sec.
It's a feisty engine that has enough pull for any type of road and works effortlessly with the seven-speed DCT. One of the issues commonly found is refinement.
Aside from minor chinks in its armour, you have a well-rounded, capable and agile car. The chassis has an unexpected level of finesse demonstrating control when cornering and composure (mostly) over less admirable roads. Our recommendation is the entry-level 1.0-litre T-GDI which is smooth for a three-cylinder engine and has plenty of power for both urban and long-distance driving. It can return up to 53.3mpg and is the most affordable option for both business and private buyers.

Summary A 6.7-magnitude earthquake hit Kaohsiung of Taiwan at a depth of 15 kilometers at 03:57 a.m. Beijing Time on Saturday, according to China Earthquake Networks Center (CENC).
The Chinese mainland has offered to help Taiwan following the deadly earthquake that jolted the south of the island early on Saturday morning.
Kaohsiung city, southern Taiwan island. The epicenter was monitored at 22.94 degrees north latitude and 120.54 degrees east longitude.
According to the island's weather and earthquake monitoring agency, the earthquake, measuring 6.4 on the Richter scale and with a depth of 16.7 kilometers, was centered about 27 km northeast of Pingtung county seat The mainland earthquake monitoring center put the scale of the quake at 6.7-magnitude..


The administration has yet to provide many details, however, saying only that it will be assigning federal agencies specific timelines for deliverables and expects to release more information over the next 6 months.
1) Research and development.The administration will ask agencies to prioritize AI investments in their spending, but did not detail how much funding the White House will request to support the initiative. (Congress ultimately determines spending levels.)The initiative also calls for better reporting of AI R&D spending by agencies, in order to create an overview of how much is spent across the government.
2) Infrastructure.Agencies are expected to help researchers access federal data, algorithms, and computer processing.
3) Governance.The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and other groups will together draft general guidelines for governing AI to ensure its safe and ethical use. The official couldnt say which specific issues the effort would address, but noted that it will involve experts from the Food and Drug Administration, the Department of Defense, and other agencies. The senior administration official noted that one concern is protecting data privacy.
4) Workforce.The White Houses AI advisory committee and its council on job training will look for ways to continue workers educations. In addition, agencies will be asked to create fellowships and training programs in computer science.
5) International engagement.The administration hopes to perform a delicate balancing act: collaborating on AI with other countries, while not compromising U.S. interests or ceding anytechnological edge. The official deflected questions about how engagement efforts might address Chinas challenges to U.S. interests, and did not say whether the initiative would address immigration and visas for scientists, engineers, and students.
The initiative follows several steps the Trump administration has already taken on AI. In May 2018, it held a summit on the role of AI in industry. And in September 2018, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency announced that it had committed $2 billion to AI research funding. (The total included some projects already underway.)That month, the White House also called for public input on updating an existing National AI R&D Strategic Plan.
Early reaction is mixed. The White Houses latest executive order correctly highlights AI as a major priority for U.S. policymaking, says Kate Crawford, a co-director of AI Now, a research institute at New York University in New York City. But shes concerned about its focus on industry and apparent lack of input from academia and civic leaders. She says passing mentions of privacy and civil liberties dont dispel worries about the Trump administrations troubling track record on these issues.

Apple just put up details about its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) on its site. Given the recent iPhone 4G leak and Apple's usual timing when it comes to iPhone announcements, it's very likely that Apple will officially announce the next version of iPhone at the conference, which is being held from June 7-11 in San Francisco.
Since the leaked prototype that ended up in the hands of tech blog Gizmodo is obviously very real, we don't expect too many surprises. We expect the iPhone 4G (as it will likely be called) to feature a front camera, an upgraded back camera, improved display, microSIM support and metal details on the case. We don't doubt, however, that a wave of rumors will precede the official announcements; after all, we're talking about Apple, one of the most secretive companies in the world. You never know what it might have up its sleeve.
