- Anonymous Patron writes "OrlandoSentinel.com Reports The battle over book-banning in a Polk County school is not over. A library book deemed offensive by the mother of an elementary school student was tossed out of Spook Hill Elementary after review by a committee of parents, teachers and administrators. "It's not over yet," said Jacqueline Rose, head of the district's media services, who does not support removing any of the six challenged books. The removed book, Anastasia Again! |

- AshtabulaGuy writes "In yesterday's edition of its Daily Digest the (United States) Federal Communications Commission noted the release of a staff report sent to Congress relative to the analog-to-digital transition in the United States. The report is available in Adobe Acrobat Format as well as in Microsoft Word format and plain text although the Adobe Acrobat file is probably most easily readable for most readers. The report discusses many issues including why US households are seemingly not overwhelmingly switching to HDTV so close to the deadline for present analog transmitters to go dark. This is a glimpse of a digital divide not normally seen from a library perspective. It looks as if the digital divide goes beyond citizenry not having access to just the Internet. |

- Greg writes "Wired Magazine has picked up the story of iPod shuffles pre-loaded with audiobooks being circulated by the South Huntington Public Library (NY). Here's something to consider: "In addition, the library has the potential to save a great deal of money. Latini said that most titles on CDs cost the library around $75, whereas in MP3 format, they range from $15 to $25. 'In the end, obviously, we're literally saving money,' he said. |

- In the good old days, checking out a library book involved scrawling a name and due date on a card. Today, the library is a technical hub of research and online catalogues. But while library operations have advanced light years, library assistants are still stuck in a pay range of days past. Employees at the University of California are now expected to produce spread sheets, write HTML and operating a circulation system on-line, and are receiving wages somewhat less than an executive secretary...more from the California Aggie. |

- It was inevitable, folks. Congressman Joe Barton (R-TX), chair of the House Committee on Commerce, wants to see current indecency laws expanded into satillite TV and Radio areas, both of which are subscription based. Currently, the FCC does not have authority to regulate things like DirecTV, Sirius, and XM. Cable TV is supposed to be included as well. Congress rightfully determined years ago that as these are subscription based services, the end user assumes all risks involved with paying for a monthly subscription. |

- JeffL said: You also need the understanding that you are using a basic set of drivers and software, mostly the more popular, easier to use software to boot. Most of the installers will do a good job with mainstream hardware, but some obscure, newer stuff (like wireless cards) may be harder to configure. /quote Exactly! Knoppix used to work (more or less) on my ThinkPad with my old (wired) network, but I can't use it anymore as it doesn't work with my (cheap, no-brand) wireless card, so now I'm stuck back with Windose for web-surfing, etc. |

They are fuel-cell-powered Mercedes-Benz A-Class cars which are going to be put to the practical test by customers in Europe and the USA in international cooperative ventures beginning in 2003.
