Syrian National Council holds congress in Tunisia ~ Daily World News - 0 views

  •  
    The Syrian National Council, a coalition of groups opposed to President Bashar al-Assad, is holding its first congress in Tunisia. About 200 members of the SNC are meeting near the capital Tunis in a bid to further unify the Syrian opposition. Correspondents say delegates hope the council will emerge looking more like a government-in-waiting. Earlier, thousands of anti-government protesters again took to the streets across Syria following Friday prayers. Activists said at least six people had been killed by security forces in the central city of Homs, which has become a focal point for unrest.

SweetSearch Finds Credible Research Sources for Students - 16 views

  •  
    SweetSearch came about as the byproduct of making findingDulcinea, an aggregator that terms itself the "Librarian of the Internet." It's a database of about 35,000 web sites vetted by researchers, librarians, and teachers, with priority given to spots like the Library of Congress, Smithsonian, and other public and academic sources. It sweeps away the pseudo-science, forums, and sites that read like paraphrased summaries.

SOPA Vote Delayed, Allowing For More Corporate Fundraising From Censorship Bill - 3 views

  • SOPA is being aggressively pushed by Hollywood movie studios, major record labels and luxury goods providers as an effort to crackdown on internet piracy of their products. But the tools envisioned are so extreme that tech experts warn the legislation threatens the very functionality of the Internet. The ACLU and other free-speech groups emphasize that by authorizing the federal government and corporations to shut down entire websites without a trial for posting just a single piece of copyright-infringing content, the bill would sharply curb the exercise of free speech online.
  • It's a legislative strategy that members of Congress are all too willing to accept. With huge corporations on both sides of the bill, lawmakers will be able to request another round of campaign contributions, no matter what the legislation's ultimate fate may be.
  • Smith did not need to delay the vote in order to round up additional support to ensure passage. The House Judiciary Committee has close ties to Hollywood and is strongly supportive of the bill. Smith wrote the legislation, and over the past two days, the committee shot down amendments to weaken or moderate provisions of the legislation by wide margins.
