"The Massachusetts Democratic Party is launching today a first-of-its-kind website that it says contains an unparalleled repository of information about [2008 election Republican Presidential Candidate] Mitt Romney's record that could be used against the former [Massachusetts] governor in his White House run." ... "RomneyFacts.com lays out a wealth of documents: personal financial disclosure statements he filed as governor; policy proposals he put forward in his 2002 campaign; several old campaign ads; and a unique searchable database of campaign contributions from his entire political career." ... "RomneyFacts.com is clearly a partisan clearinghouse, painting Romney as a "flip-flopper" who has traded in the moderate Republican credentials he presented as a candidate for governor in 2002 for a new set of conservative beliefs in his campaign for president." ... "Its home page compares statements "Massachusetts Mitt" made on abortion, immigration, stem cell research, and other hot-button issues with those made by "Red State Romney."" -By Lisa Wangsness -Boston/Globe  20070820 US - Canada - United Kingdom - Government - Reference - Business - Media - Online - Library - Computer - Technology - "A Quest to Get More Court Rulings Online, and Free." ... "The domination of two legal research services over the publication of [US] federal and state court decisions is being challenged by an Internet gadfly who has embarked on an ambitious project to make more than 10 million pages of case law available free online." ... "The project is the latest effort of Carl Malamud, an activist who founded public.resource.org in March, with the broad intent of building “public works” accessible via the network, and with the specific plan to force the federal government to make information more publicly accessible." ... "Last week, Mr. Malamud began using advanced computer scanning technology to copy decisions, which have been available only in law libraries or via subscription from the Thomson West unit of the Canadian publishing conglomerate Thomson, and LexisNexis, a division of Reed Elsevier, based in London [United Kingdom]." ... "The two companies control the bulk of the nearly $5 billion legal publishing market. (A third, but niche, player is the Commerce Clearing House division of Wolters Kluwer)." ... "The Public Resource effort is one of several attempts to make the nation’s laws more accessible. One project, AltLaw (altlaw.org) is a joint effort by Columbia Law School’s Program on Law and Technology and the Silicon Flatirons program at the University of Colorado Law School to permit free full-text searches of the last decade of federal appellate and Supreme Court opinions." -By John Markoff -NYTimes  20070815 US - Iran - Intelligence - Electronic - Voting Machines - Company - Election - Politics - "Wikipedia 'shows CIA page edits': An online tool that claims to reveal the identity of organisations that edit Wikipedia pages has revealed that the CIA [Central Intelligence Agency] was involved in editing entries." ... "Wikipedia Scanner allegedly shows that workers on the agency's computers made edits to the page of Iran's president." ... "It also purportedly shows that the Vatican has edited entries about [Ireland's] Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams." ... "The tool, developed by US researchers, trawls a list of 5.3m edits and matches them to the net address of the editor." ... "Wikipedia is a free online encyclopaedia that can be created and edited by anyone." ... "The site also indicates that a computer owned by the US Democratic Party was used to make changes to the site of right-wing talk show host Rush Limbaugh." ... "The changes brand Mr Limbaugh as "idiotic," a "racist", and a "bigot". An entry about his audience now reads: "Most of them are legally retarded."" ... "Wikipedia Scanner also points the finger at commercial organisations that have modified entries about the pages." ... "One in particular is Diebold, the company that supplied electronic voting machines for the controversial US election in 2000." ... "In October 2005, a person using a Diebold computer removed paragraphs about Walden O'Dell, chief executive of the company, which revealed that he had been "a top fund-raiser" for [Republican President] George Bush." ... "A month later, other paragraphs and links to stories about the alleged rigging of the 2000 election were also removed." ...

Valuable information has a price," Hart told ZDNet Australia on a recent visit to Sydney." ...

"Librarians at the University at Buffalo have responded to the needs of an increasingly tech-savvy student population by offering live, online reference help using an instant messaging program." ... ""Some librarians have been really excited about it," [Jill] Hackenberg ["coordinator of reference and electronic services at UB's Science and Engineering Library"] said. "They can see the potential of using the electronic medium. Others are less comfortable using the quick communication, and would rather have the face to face communication."" ... "Regardless of how sophisticated the technology becomes, most librarians agree there is still a need for face to face contact. It's less a question of whether librarians are needed and more an issue of interpreting if the question being asked is what the person really needs to find out." ... "Librarians learn to use more than just words and questions to help their patrons.
