Federal Appeals Court: Private School Can Favor Admissions For Native Hawaiians
DOE V. KAMEHAMEHA SCHOOLS
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, Dec. 5, 2006
A Hawaiian private, non-profit K-12 school that receives no federal funds
and prefers Native Hawaiians in its admissions policy does not commit
unlawful racial discrimination under 42 U.S.C. section 1981. A modified
Title VII standard is established for determining whether a wholly private
K-12 educational institutions remedial admissions policy is valid.

independently in all aspects of their lives. Few Centers for Independent
Living in the United States or other public or private agencies in Maine
offer Alpha One's variety and depth of independent living services:
information and referral, outreach, advocacy, one-to-one and group peer
support, consumer-directed personal assistance services, assistive
technology financing, access design, resume workshops, and independent
living skills instruction. Alpha One's adapted driver assessment and
education service, the only one of its kind in Maine, New Hampshire or

been responsive to the needs of individuals with disabilities,
initiating, advocating for, and implementing systems change to overcome
the barriers that prevent people with disabilities from living
independently.

3. RIAA Legal Ruling Could Shut Down The Internet

RIAA Legal Ruling Could Shut Down The Internet
Posted: 2006/11/30
via
http://mathaba.net/rss/?x=546594
[excerpts]
U.S. government supports legal case that would criminalize making any
files available on the world wide web
By Paul Joseph Watson
A landmark legal case on behalf of the Recording Industry Association
of America and other global trade organizations seeks to criminalize
all Internet file sharing of any kind as copyright infringement,
effectively shutting down the world wide web - and their argument is
supported by the U.S. government.
Ray Beckerman, a lawyer representing clients in cases against the
RIAA, recently took part in a conference
http://www.defectivebydesign.org/node/404 call organized by
DefectiveByDesign.org, an organization which opposes DRM Technology,
content restricting programs embedded into software that blocks users
access to music, movies, software and other forms of digital data.
Beckerman describes how Internet users are randomly targeted by the
RIAA for simply having a folder of music on their computer, kept in
the dark about legal details and intimidated into paying thousands of
dollars immediately or facing a federal lawsuit. The RIAA doesn't
even attempt to prove copyright infringement with specific examples,
dates or times - it simply coerces and threatens the victim until
they relent into paying out huge settlement fees.
"They have an investigator pretend to be a user of KAZAA or one of
the other similar file-sharing networks. He finds a shared files
folder that has a goodly number of copyrighted songs in it. He has no
idea whether those song files were obtained legally, whether though
payed downloads, or through making personal copies from one's own CD
for backup purposes, or whether anything illegal was ever done with
those files, whether anyone ever copied one. And what he does: he
takes a screen shot of this shared files folders (He of course does
not see the folders, he merely sees the text in the metadata) and
decides that this is a big shared file folder."
[...]
In one case, UMG vs. Lindor, a cleaner who has never used or owned a
computer but simply dusted near one was sued as an online distributor
in peer to peer file sharing.
Accusing the RIAA of "conducting a reign of terror" by bringing
lawsuits against defenseless people, Beckerman warned that one case
in particular, Electro vs. Barker, has the potential to shut down the
Internet completely.
RIAA's argument is that Miss Baker, a poor nursing student who lives
in housing projects, should be prosecuted on the basis that "merely
making files available on the internet is in and of itself a
copyright infringement."
[...]
The U.S. government has also filed legal briefs supporting the RIAA's argument.
Deep sixing the entire Internet seems a highly unlikely move in that
it would probably derail the world economy and put thousands of huge
transnational corporations out of business. An outcome more likely to
happen if this ruling is accepted is that it would further pave the
way for government regulation and tracking of the Internet, namely
"Internet 2," http://infowars.net/articles/may2006/020506ISPs.htm a
completely controlled, surveilled and autocratic cyber police state
similar to the Chinese model, whereby website owners have to obtain
government permission to run a blog, be approved by a biometric thumb
scan just to turn their computer on, and immediately get their
Internet access shut off if they misbehave.
This case is another attack arm of forces in government and the
corporate structure that seek to suffocate the last outpost of true
freedom of speech and dissent and it must be countered at all costs.

5. Most websites' failing disabled

Most websites' failing disabled
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/6210068.stm
[excerpt]
Most of the leading websites around the world are failing to provide
the most basic accessibility standards for people with disabilities.
Ninety seven percent of websites did not provide even minimum levels
of accessibility, a new survey has found.
Accessibility agency Nomensa tested the leading websites in five
different sectors across 20 countries
Only three websites, including the British Prime Minister's site,
achieved the minimum standards.
The report, commissioned by the United Nations as part of its
International Day of Disabled Persons, will make depressing reading
for anyone committed to the idea of equal web access for all.
[...]
KEY SHORTFALLS
93% failed to provide adequate text descriptions for graphics
73% relied on JavaScript for important functionality
78% used colours with poor contrast, causing issues for those with
colour blindness
98% did not follow industry web standards for the programming code
97% did not allow people to alter or resize pages
89% offered poor page navigation
87% used pop-ups causing problems for those using screen magnification software

***cross-posted***
Hello, everyone. I had been looking for a good example to show my
students why it's important to look at the linked Comments (letters to
the editor) that one finds associated with some PubMed articles.
Here's a nifty one I just found:
Original article:
Spira M. Otoplasty: what I do now--a 30-year perspective. Plast Reconstr
Surg. 1999 Sep;104(3):834-40; discussion 841.
PMID: 10456539
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=PureSearch&db=pubmed&d
etails_term=10456539%5BUID%5D
Comment (with illustrative photos, drawings, & text descriptions):
Corchado C, Infante J. A surgical technique for the correction of all
types of prominent ears?
Plast Reconstr Surg. 2000 Sep;106(4):948-51. No abstract available.
PMID: 11007419
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=PureSearch&db=pubmed&d
etails_term=11007419%5BUID%5D
Here's the example I do for Erratums; I don't know how serious the
dosage error is, but at least this illustrates the importance of always
looking up the Erratum.
Original article:
Dupuis LL, Najdova M, Saunders EF. Retrospective appraisal of busulfan
dose adjustment in children.
Bone Marrow Transplant. 2000 Dec;26(11):1143-7. Erratum in: Bone Marrow
Transplant. 2003 Apr;31(8):729.
PMID: 11149723
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=PureSearch&db=pubmed&d
etails_term=11149723%5BUID%5D
Erratum (dosage in article was reported as 4 times higher than actually
administered):
Dupuis LL, Najdova M, Saunders EF. Retrospective appraisal of busulfan
dose adjustment in children.
Bone Marrow Transplant. 2003 Apr;31(8):729. PMID: 12692614
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=PureSearch&db=pubmed&d

Please feel free to post this.
