City loses voters' vital information
http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/Technology/vote.html
About 100 computer discs with 1.3 million Chicago voters' Social
Security numbers have been distributed to aldermen and ward
committeemen, and the whereabouts of at least an additional six CDs with
the same information are unknown, according to the Chicago Board of
Elections.
This follows another security lapse in October 2006, when voters' Social
Security numbers were available through the board's Web site. But unlike
the Web site flaw, which was fixed in a few minutes, it will be
difficult, if not impossible, for the Board of Elections to retrieve
sensitive data physically scattered on more than 100 discs throughout
the area.

Kahle v. Gonzales: 9th Circuit says copyright orphans stay orphans
http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/
In a move that's a blow to the U.S. movement to reform copyright law,
the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against the Internet Archive's
Brewster Kahle, in his lawsuit to allow orphaned works into the public domain.
Rejecting the argument of Larry Lessig, the court decided the case was too
close to Lessig's Eldred copyright suit of 2002, and that's settled business

The Citizendium (sit-ih-ZEN-dee-um),
http://www.citizendium.org/
a "citizens' compendium of everything," is an experimental new wiki project.
The project, started by a founder of Wikipedia, aims to improve on the
Wikipedia model by adding "gentle expert oversight" and requiring contributors
to use their real names.
It has taken on a life of its own and will, perhaps, become
the flagship of a new set of responsibly-managed free knowledge projects.
We will avoid calling it an "encyclopedia" until the project's editors feel
comfortable putting their reputations behind this description.
