The Problem with Webcasting
Continued from p. 1
Submission to U.S. WIPO Delegation Concerning Webcast RightsThis paper calls for Congress to take up the question of broadcast ownership rights on the internet, before they are proposed to the World Intellectual Property Organization by a United States delegation.
The proposed extension of broadcast ownership to the internet represent a new feature in the dissemination of information, and a potentially disruptive change. Such a far-reaching grant of ownership should be subjected to particular scrutiny and diligently checked for ripple effects, because it consists of a sui generis right that can profoundly change the creation and distribution of content. Therefore, Congress should be the body in the U.S. to make the decision whether to request such an ownership change.
To show the value of legislative deliberation, this paper will examine the history of another recent, sui generis right: laws restricting collections of information, also known as database protection.
As with broadcasting and the internet, laws restricting collections of information were proposed by large companies with a valuable resource (CD-ROMs and other data listings used in many research areas), and were accompanied by claims that the current legal framework would eliminate the incentive to produce more such databases.
The first victory for collections of information was in a directive discussed in the European Community in the early 1990s and formalized in a March 11, 1996 directive. It was subsequently made law in a dozen European countries.
The scope and power of collections-of-information restrictions grew as the directive went through EC deliberations. (Nowadays, because the public interest sector in Europe is more organized and can make itself heard better within the EU, this directive might not have passed at all.) The original proposal was not a sui generis right, but a modest reinterpretation of unfair competition to cover commercial reuse of collections of information.
But seeing an unobstructed road ahead of them, database manufacturers managed to extend the collections-of-information concept to the point where it gave them control over the reuse of facts in their databases, which no other law or treaty had done. The new right made it risky for users of databases to extract large amounts of information from a database, which frequently has to be done to generate statistics, check results reported in papers, and do other forms of research.
Database manufacturers simultaneously pressed for collections-of-information laws in the United States. During the 1990s and early 2000s, laws regarding collections of information were introduced four or five times into Congress, and defeated every time. WIPO noted the loss of support for database protection and refused to take up the issue.
What happened to the momentum? Congress listened to both sides, and realized that every ownership right in information represents a trade-off. Restricting access and reuse of information must be considered in light of the potential brake it puts on the research required to produce the next information breakthrough.
This restriction could be justified only by evidence that there is widespread copying, and that it is inadequately prevented by other laws such as copyright and unfair competition. However, there is no evidence that such widespread copying has taken place.
As reported by James Boyle, the European Commission recently conducted a study and reported that the presence of collections-of-information laws had no measurable impact on the production of databases. So the economic argument for collections-of-information laws is weak. And this result is easily to explain, because the most obvious kinds of copying (burning a CD-ROM, for instance) are prohibited by copyright law.
Thus we can draw our first lesson from the collections-of-information history: when a new and far-reaching change concerning information rights is considered by a national legislative body, this puts the change through valuable scrutiny and allows, more than in non-elected international bodies, the true interests of both information producers and the general public to be heard. The national body provides more transparency in deliberations; more time and opportunity for key players such as non-governmental organizations and small, competitive producers to express their points of view; and more of a sense of responsibility toward constituents.
Another valuable lesson can be gleaned from the history of collections-of-information laws: the danger of basing a legal framework on the exigencies of a particular industry at a particular time, especially in a fast-changing technological environment.
Essentially, collections-of-information laws were conceived at a time when most databases were distributed by CD-ROM. A few services such as Lexis were online, but they had very restricted audiences. The model for a collection of information was a fixed set of data, sold as a tangible item.
By the time the first European countries passed their collections-of-information laws, it was becoming apparent that this model was obsolete. Very few people get information nowadays by popping a CD-ROM into a computer; instead, they visit a website and enter a search term.
There are several important impacts of this change on collections-of-information laws:
- Copying becomes more difficult (rendering the laws even less relevant).
- In regard to determining how much copying is too much, the new structure of information makes it hard to determine how much of the total collection was copied.
- The frequent updating of information renders copies less valuable, reducing the incentive for someone to profit by making extensive copies.
- Expiration times, which were designed to protect the public by placing deadlines on the restrictions imposed by database manufacturers, become moot because the manufacturers keep updating the data.
Thus, technological and social change calls into question the value and relevance of collections-of-information laws.
We can apply the same criteria to broadcasting laws on the internet. These are narrowly tailored to particular uses of information made by large news and portal websites, just as the collections-of-information laws were tailored to the distribution of data on CD-ROM.
But what new technologies will come along after the Web? Could broadcast laws hamper their development and adoption? Who will be the information providers and distributors in the next generation of new media, and will they need or benefit from broadcast protection? How will the locking up of content in a broadcast treaty affect the dynamic and free-flowing innovation currently represented by weblogs, wikis, podcasts, and other media yet to be invented?
And what about the assumptions behind the broadcast treaty? Is putting up a web page comparable to broadcasting a program over television or satellite? Few people redistribute web content; instead, they make a link to it.
However, useful applications exist for reducing the strains on servers by sending data hop by hop between user systems, piggy-backing on intermediate nodes to distribute streams and large data transfers. This is just one example of potential innovations that might be squelched by overreaching laws on webcasting.
This issue calls for careful consideration and views from all sides. Congress is the body most suited to undertake this examination in the U.S..

Frequently Asked Questions
Before You Buy
It can be difficult to tell which ones are right for the KVM switch you are interested in. How can you tell which KVM cables you require? How can you tell if a KVM switch requires proprietary cables? How do these cables work?
Standard KVM Switches and Cables
Note: You will need one bundle of KVM cables per computer you want to connect to the KVM switch.
Standard KVM switches have no special cable requirements. If you have spare video and PS/2 or USB cables, you can use them to hook up the KVM switch to your computers. StarTech.com still sells KVM cable packages, but they are just for the convenience of buying them in bundles and usually involve some savings. Keep in mind that even if you have some of the cables you need, it still might be advantageous to buy the bundle.
KVM Switches with Opposite Gender Video Connections
Some KVM switches use male video connections for the computers and female video connections for the console ports. In this case you simply need a video extension cable, or a KVM cable package appropriate to the KVM switch. This is so you cannot accidentally plug cables from your computer into the console ports.
KVM Switches Requiring Proprietary Cables
KVM switches can also use proprietary KVM cables to connect to the individual computers. This is often done with larger KVM switches and KVM switches intended for a server environment. These cables use a proprietary pinout which does not conform to the video standard in use, as the cable carries both the video and PS/2 or USB data along a single cable.
If you are unsure whether or not you need special cables, complete the following:
- Check the Technical Specifications tab on the individual product pages for What's in the Box. This section lists everything that comes with your purchase, and your KVM switch might come with the cables.
- Check the Accessories tab. This section lists potential accessories for the product you are looking at. StarTech.com will list the appropriate KVM cables for the KVM switch here.
- Check the Gallery and look at a picture of the back of the KVM switch.
Note: If there are no PS/2 or USB ports on the back of the KVM switch other than for the console, you will require proprietary cables.
If at this point you require further assistance in deciding which cables to purchase with your StarTech.com KVM switch, contact our technical support team.

Forty years ago this month, John Lennon began recording his "Imagine" album, which, in addition to the classic Utopian title plea for peace, includes a lesser-known, decidedly more cynical track demanding another elusive quantity: truth.
"Gimme Some Truth," an under-appreciated gem, has been playing in our heads lately amid some recent examples of media manipulations that range from the mildly annoying to the greatly disturbing.
We're still not sure exactly where on the outrage meter to rank the goofy "debate" staged Thursday on Fox Business News' "Media Matters for America" featuring an actor impersonating President Obama. The gimmick, more cheesy than clever, pitted former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson against the "President" (actor Reggie Brown, who does a pretty good impression) on the stimulus and other issues.
While host John Stossel noted that Brown largely parroted words previously uttered by the President, it's not a debate when you don't get to answer back – especially with the in-house audience, as The Hollywood Reporter pointed out, hooting throughout.
Stossel's stunt isn't the end of the world, and neither, thankfully, is the new mock Time magazine cover proclaiming the impending apocalypse – "World Stands on the Brink" – complete with an image of Wall Street reduced to rubble. The cover is featured on a poster that can be found in GameShop stores as a promotion for a new video game.
It marks the first time the 88-year-old news magazine has authorized the iconic cover's use in hawking a product, The New York Times reports. The paper also notes Time executives see the campaign as a way to appeal to young men – which is perhaps an even sadder statement than the dubious use of the Time brand.
Far more disturbing – and in a whole other league of heinous – is a recently revealed media hoax with potentially serious, long-term consequences. A popular blogger who posted as "A Gay Girl in Damascus," was unmasked as a heterosexual man from Georgia, USA. The blog, part of the Arab Spring uprisings that have employed the Internet as a tool of democracy, told of government abuses through the eyes of a Syrian-American lesbian. The blogger's supposed kidnapping by Syrian government agents last week reportedly spurred a U.S. State Department investigation.
The real author contends he employed the fake persona to bring attention to human rights abuses. But now, true stories of horror, particularly those reported through social media, have a greater risk of being dismissed as fiction, as mere propaganda. There presumably are more than enough compelling, actual accounts not requiring a fictional filter – a device that ultimately sows new seeds of distrust on all ends.
That's clearly an extreme example, especially when compared to the Fox and Time seemingly harmless attention-grabbers. But even those reflect a larger general erosion of trust a time when images and information are flying at us faster and from more sources than ever. With more ways to get messages out – and greater competition to be heard – literal truth threatens becomes a casualty.
Meanwhile, we recently stumbled onto another blog, called Free Syria Now, which posts videos about the turmoil in the Middle Eastern country, including news reports and often-graphic amateur footage culled from YouTube. A few weeks back, Free Syria Now took a break from the usual bleak reports, and posted a video of A Perfect Circle's 2004 version of "Imagine."
Forty years after Lennon stepped into the studio to record "Imagine," and "Gimme Some Truth," the sentiments of both ring louder than ever. Even if the times and circumstances have changed, the songs remain the same.

Around the world, there are large posters, colorful truck canvasses and a host of other information conveying media. A large format digital printer is needed to print appealing images on these media. By now it is possible to print on media with a width of seven meters using the ink-jet process.
Nearly 500 years ago, Johannes Gutenberg became the father of printing with the book printing press. Today's digital printers are based on the same principle. DIN 16 500 states that information is replicated by applying printing ink to a medium, which occurs by employing a printed image matrix.
Today, the large format printer is one of the most important tools that the advertising industry can no longer do without. For instance, it creates volume printing options for posters, which are essential to many campaigns.
The operating principle of an inkjet printer is easily explained. There are three different technologies: The continuous inkjet principle, the drop on demand process and UV direct print. The continuous inkjet principle electro-statically charges the ink in the printhead, which is then deflected by current differences on an electrode. Not required ink droplets are reclaimed. The second process, drop on demand, only creates the drops on the jet that are actually needed. This method has two sub-categories, the bubble-jet and the piezo principle. Bubble jet printers create tiny ink droplets using a heating element, which heats up the water in the ink. This results in an explosive expansion of a tiny vapor bubble, which presses an ink drop from the jet using the generated pressure. Piezo printers are based on the piezo principle. Ceramic elements deform when subjected to electrical current and press ink through a fine jet. This creates ink droplets whose volume can be controlled using an electrical impulse. The last process is UV printing, which is distinctly different from the other operating principles. Unlike the other principles, this method is not based on water or solvents. The ink does not penetrate the printed substrate material, but is instead deposited and hardened using UV light. This process can be used to print on nearly any surface, for instance glass or ceramics. Another area of differentiation is the method of feeding the printed material. Differences are made between roller print systems and flatbed printers. The roller print system feeds the material by means of rollers; the flat bed printer secures the printed medium on a large surface, which moves during the printing process in place of the printer unit.

After the war, commemorating the deaths, injuries, bravery, and traumas of the four-years became an important part of Northern and Southern society.
It was not long after the war's end that Shepley received an announcement from The Army of the Tennessee for a reunion in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. for June 1, 1865 -- the anniversary of the fall of Vicksburg. Confederate troops surrendered on July 4, 1863, after a siege that began May 22 of that year.
The invitation appears to have been sent shortly after the fall of Richmond, the Confederate capital, and the surrender of Robert E. Lee in April 1865.

NEWS- Bye bye, Botetourt: Release of Sisk killer nears
The former UVA student who stabbed Albemarle firefighter Walker Sisk to death will be released from prison June 21, according to the Department of Corrections. By then, convicted killer Andrew Alston will have served nearly all of his three-year punishment. And Alston has now indicated that he intends to appeal his probation.
Alston has court approval to transfer his probation from Virginia to Pennsylvania, according to David Clementson, spokesman for the Attorney General's office, which will handle the appeal. Alston's family lives in Lower Gwynedd, near Philadelphia.
Under the conditions of probation, for three years Alston must abstain from alcohol consumption, cooperate with mental health and substance abuse treatments, and work– or pursue educational programs full time, according to Clementson.
The appeals court rejected Alston's appeal of his voluntary manslaughter conviction. But the court agreed to hear his probation appeal, probably this fall.
The Sisks were dumbfounded when a Charlottesville jury sentenced their son's killer to three years in jail– despite stabbing Sisk 18 times in a drunken fight– after the prosecution had sought 40 years for a second-degree murder verdict.
And when they got a letter from the Attorney General's office informing them of Alston's probation appeal, "I was ready to go ballistic," says Howard Sisk. "It's ridiculous– I've run out of words to describe it."
Eighteen months after Alston stood trial and wound up with a three-year sentence for his conviction of voluntary manslaughter, Sisk still wonders, "What the hell was that jury thinking?"
One of the jurors wrote an account of the trial explaining that because of the amount of alcohol Alston had consumed, the jury could not find that he acted with malice when he killed Walker Sisk with 18 stab wounds and then fled the scene.
The trial included a tearful Alston recalling a painful childhood that included the suicide of his brother and an audacious defense (allegedly discounted by jurors) that Sisk somehow stabbed himself, a defense that was stymied by the fact that the knife somehow disappeared from the scene.
Howard Sisk remembers one juror saying that he thought they did what was best for the community. "Since when does a jury decide that?" asks Sisk, who says he would have preferred the jurors focus on the guilt or innocence of the accused.
The grieving parents likely will meet Alston in court again. They plan to sue him as soon as he steps out of Botetourt Correctional Facility in rural Troutville.
"We've been waiting for his release before moving forward," says Brian Slaughter, attorney for the Sisks, who has readied a $3-million suit to "deter any such violent attacks upon innocent victims."
For Jimmy Schwab, Sisk's best friend who was with him the night he died, Alston's release is in some ways harder than the trial. "I wish the family and I could have had a little better closure to losing someone we love," he says.
The lives of the Alstons and Sisks became inextricably intertwined after a boozy chance encounter on the Corner left 22-year-old Walker Sisk bleeding to death November 8, 2003.
Alston's father, attorney and Lower Gwynedd town supervisor Robert Alston, was on his way to Charlottesville even before his son was arrested that morning. Alston senior had come to the rescue of his son before.
A few months earlier, when Andrew was charged with assaulting his girlfriend, Robert Alston appeared within hours of the boy's arrest and persuaded the girlfriend to sign an affidavit acknowledging that she'd fabricated the incident.
Is Alston's family happy the former biology student, who's been in jail since 2003, will be returned home? Robert Alston did not return a phone call, and Andrew Alston had not responded by press time to a written request for an interview.
There's no anticipation of a homecoming in the Sisk household. "We're the grieving parents of a dead child," says Howard Sisk. "You don't get over it; you get through it. There's not a day that I don't think about him."
Convicted killer Andrew Alston's father, Robert Alston, serves on the town council in Lower Gwynedd, Pennsylvania, where the former UVA student will go when he finishes his three-year sentence for the slaying of a local firefighter.

Tour du Grand Montréal
Courtesy Saturn
Jeanson continues to roll in Montreal - taking morning win at Prologue
It's Victory Brewing for the win in the afternoon with Gina Grain
The Tour of Quebec kicked off today in the Montreal area. A UCI ranked stage race of three days, the first day featured a double day with a morning prologue of 3.5 kilometers and an afternoon criterium. Hot off her convincing win of the Montreal World Cup Saturday, Rona's Genevieve Jeanson is certainly the woman to beat, but given the courses of the Tour it will not be an easy task. Possibly the most likely to challenge the young Canadian is the Saturn Team who finished second, third and fourth to Jeanson in the prologue. With 97 competitors, the race has quickly become respected as one of the better races on the calendar.
The prologue was a short test held on an out and back course. Jeanson completed the 3.5 kilometers in a time of 3.52. Second was Saturn's Katie Mactier, four seconds off of Jeanson's time. Only a second behind Mactier was Saturn's Lyne Bessette, and Manon Jutras, also from Saturn rounded out the top four, seven seconds off the winning time.
The afternoon's stage was a downtown criterium fondly named the Petite Italy, so called because it is in the center of Montreal's Little Italy and is a local crowd pleaser. After 50 kilometers of racing it was Gina Grain (Can) Victory Brewing/Amoroso's with the win over Nicole Cooke. The race was fast and from the gun with lots of cash primes on the line and a Yellow Jersey still only seconds out of reach. The main peloton stayed together despite pressure applied by the Great Britain National Team, Saturn, and Acca Duo O.
In the final lap, everyone was gunning for the line, with no established lead-out for any of the teams. Grain found a solid wheel and was able to come by Nicole Cooke in the finish for a well deserved win for her Philadelphia based Victory Brewing Team. Third was another Canadian rider, Erin Carter. Jeanson managed to hang on to the Leader's Jersey by mere seconds and will start today's 111 kilometer "very hilly" road race starting at Sanctuary de Rigaud and finishing at the Sucrerie de la Montagne where the riders will stay for a famous maple syrup dinner at a sugar shack.

On a starlit Wednesday night in November of last year, about three dozen members of the Dirty Dozen Motorcycle Club are gathered at a dusty truck yard on North 27th Avenue. It is the weekly meeting of the club's Cave Creek chapter, although members from the Phoenix and Mesa chapters are also present.
Assembled is the virtual brain trust of what police routinely describe as "Arizona's most powerful and violent biker gang." Among those pressing into the smoky, one-room clubhouse are Norton, Glaze, Skitz, Hoover, Pisshead, Bumper, Deadeye, Jamaica Rick, Dale, Warlord Joey, and Sleepy.
These hard-breathing, shaggy men with myriad tattoos are thugs of nearly mythic proportions, according to police descriptions and daily-newspaper reports. Cunning and intimidation are their means, debauchery their end.
"They think about nothing but crime from the time they get up in the morning until they go to bed at night," says Lieutenant David Gonzales of the state Department of Public Safety's organized crime division. "When you get all of these people together, it's just a time bomb."
On this night at the truck yard, the master criminals find themselves in a vexing situation. Because the state's most violent biker gang conducts its meetings by Robert's Rules of Order--albeit with less formality than the average garden club or legislature--its efforts to uphold decorum can become more comic than criminal.
Tonight, members have already covered old business (the Halloween party in Tucson was a success, although it would have been nice if attendance had been better).
They have also covered new business (there will be a swap meet at the truck yard in three weeks to raise legal defense funds, and members have been given fliers to pass out promoting the event).
Now the brethren are eager to adjourn to a topless bar, but confusion has erupted. No one can remember for sure who has the floor, or whether a motion to adjourn was made properly--if one was made at all.
"Are we fucking adjourned, or what?" one member queries. Others clamor that they have new business to bring up, if it is still appropriate.
Chapter president Glaze, seeking rescue from the parliamentary quagmire, turns to Warlord Joey for help. The club's vice president, Hoover, stands to the side, looking perplexed, as he often does.
Through sheer voice power, Warlord Joey quiets the club and wrests back control. He defers to Glaze, who decides a new motion is the safest route to propriety, and calls for one.
"I motion we end this fucking thing," a member says.
"All right," the presiding officer replies, with some relief. "Motion has been made. Let's go look at some naked chicks."
Calm returns. In a few minutes, the Harley-Davidsons are pulling out of the truck yard, making a racket that sounds like a gaggle of tap-dancing drunks. But only a handful of bikes falls in for the ride to the Boots N' Brims bar on the west side of I-17.
Other members quietly follow behind in their cars and trucks.
It is a bit humiliating, members admit when they reach the bar, but on this night, most of the motorcycle club is without motorcycles. About five weeks earlier, in a massive series of raids involving more than 400 law enforcement officers, many of the club members' bikes were seized as potential evidence in an ongoing investigation of the club.
The raids have hit the Dozen hard.
"My heart is fucking broke. I'm not shitting you," gripes Bumper, a 45-year-old lithographer. "Hey, I got a 65-fucking-thousand-a-year job. I can't believe how I'm being fucked over here."
Club members are barely settling in with their first beers to watch the dancers when someone runs into the bar and announces that the cops are outside. That is not an unusual occurrence when the Dirty Dozen gathers.
Club members spill onto the sidewalk and find themselves facing a parking lot ringed with Phoenix police cars.
A helicopter hovers overhead and a paddy wagon sits nearby.
One officer tells club members that police were merely responding to a silent alarm at a pawnshop that abuts the topless bar. As long as they're here, the police look over the short line of bikes and check a few IDs. After some brief, hot words, the police find nothing to justify any arrests and pull out.
The Dirty Dozen members know what has just happened. Police, they note, do not routinely send a half-dozen cars and a helicopter every time a silent alarm goes off at a pawnshop.
The truth, members say, is that the cops want desperately to put every Dirty Dozen member they can in jail. They will pull out all the stops--and roll whatever manpower they can summon--to do so.
The cops say that is absolutely correct.
@body:Lieutenant David Gonzales sits across a table at the First Watch restaurant, clean-cut and friendly, eating a bagel. "In our viewpoint, this is a criminal organization," he says. "This is not a social club, like they say. The Dirty Dozen club is based on violence and intimidation. Our theory is that they're involved in a multitude of crimes."
Gonzales states his case politely. In truth, if court records and grand jury transcripts are any measure, police investigators consider the Dirty Dozen members uniquely low forms of life.
The club masterminds one of the state's largest methamphetamine rings, police claim. Its members beat and kill people at will, and proudly stitch to their sleeveless vests the shoulder patches of police officers they have slain.
Altogether, police say, the approximately 130 current members of the club have thus far racked up more than 600 criminal charges.
The police say the members award each other special badges for performing oral sex on women in front of witnesses. The badges sport different colors, depending on whether the woman is white or black, menstruating or not, dead or alive.
They buy, sell and trade their wives and girlfriends, the police version goes, and love only their Harleys, colors, guns and drugs.
These are not exaggerations, police investigators have claimed in affidavits, grand jury proceedings and court hearings.
"The 'colors' symbolize the member's adopted family--i.e., the club--and members have even claimed that their 'colors' are more important to them than their wives or biological family," reads one typical police affidavit regarding the club.
"A gang member's loyalty and dedication to his fellow members run deep," the affidavit continues. "A strictly enforced code of silence ensures the confidentiality of gang activities and operations. If a member breaks the code of silence, he may be hunted down and severely disciplined, which can result in his death."
A sinister picture, club members say, if it were true.
"These guys are fucking crazy," says Kenneth "Norton" Johnston, a Mesa chapter member and one of the police's favorite targets of investigation. "They are obsessed."
"They're renegade cops," says Burr, one of the club's founding members. "They really have a thing against us."
The police, club members say, are chasing a myth of their own creation, a largely fictional version of outlaw motorcycle gangs derived from old movies and dubious intelligence.
"We've grown out of the 60s," explains Bo. "We're in the 90s. I don't know where these fuckers are."
It is true that some members of the club have criminal records--including some old homicides. Police point out that at least four current members of the club have been charged with murder, including a 1980 bar fight in Claypool that left two men dead, an unrelated killing in 1983 and a 1983 shooting outside of a north Phoenix bar.
Though more than a decade in the past, the 1983 bar killing is typical of biker violence, police say. John Turner, a 44-year-old electrician, stopped at Gary's Lounge for a few beers after work.
When Turner asked the girlfriend of one biker to dance, other patrons--reportedly including Dirty Dozen members--threw the man out of the bar. Ticked off, Turner got in his pickup truck and started running over a line of more than 20 bikes parked outside the bar.
As he continued trying to crush the bikes, Turner was shot and killed by someone in the crowd of angry bikers that had run out of the bar to the parking lot. Police were unable to determine who fired the fatal shots.
But club members say the frequency of such violence is greatly exaggerated, and, in fact, most of the stories police have to tell about the gang are tales from the old days.
The "hundreds" of criminal charges filed against them, they say, begin to dwindle quickly once the minor charges--like disturbing the peace and failure to provide proof of insurance--are weeded out.
Some members have faced more serious assault, burglary, sexual assault and drug charges, members acknowledge, but most of those incidents occurred years ago--and after all, this is an outlaw motorcycle club, they say, not the Boy Scouts. Of course members own a lot of weapons and macho paraphernalia like machetes, chains, police scanners, night-vision goggles and bulletproof vests, they say.
But it takes a long jump, they say, to get from grown men's toys to the police-proffered scenarios of routine violence, debauched sex and unending drug dealing and consumption.
Many of the club's members do not have criminal records, they point out. About a third of them don't even drink at meetings.
Most of them hold steady jobs. They have wives, or girlfriends, and children. (None can recall selling or trading girlfriends or family members.) They don't know when they are supposedly finding time to be the state's highest-volume methamphetamine traffickers.
"I've been at the same job for going on ten years," says "Jamaica" Rick Solesbee, a 40-year-old member whose job is making Ping golf clubs. "I leave for work at the same time every day, at 5:30 in the morning. There is nothing illegal involved in anything I do. Everybody in our chapter, they have jobs. They pay taxes."
Solesbee has no criminal record. Nor does Kenneth "Bumper" Krenkel, the 45-year-old lithographer, who has been in the club for 12 years, and served stints as a chapter treasurer and vice president.
"Either I'm the smartest motherfucker on the face of this Earth," bellows Krenkel, who does have a temper, "or I'm abiding by the same rules that maybe you are."
Richard "Glaze" Steiner, 38, the Cave Creek chapter president, has worked for the county for more than ten years. His most recent recorded criminal act was a DUI citation in 1983.
If they have killed police officers, club members say, it's news to them, and they don't have any patches torn from sleeves to show for it. It seems probable they would be on death row right now if they had.
And the badges for variations on oral sex don't exist, they say. Even if they did, performing it on a dead woman would not be worth it.
The cops have simply got it all wrong about them, Dirty Dozen members contend.
"They keep calling us a gang. We're not a gang," says Dan "Hoover" Seybert, a 36-year-old motorcycle mechanic and the Cave Creek chapter vice president. "This club is basically for going on runs and drinking beer."
Surely, just as the police are inclined to overstate the club's notoriety, club members are prone to emboss their innocence.
But so far, if the results of an ongoing investigation into the Dozen are any indication, the truth rests closer to the club's version.
For almost two years, a task force including DPS, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and investigators from the Phoenix and Mesa police departments has targeted the club.
The most intense scrutiny possible by law enforcement has been brought to bear on the Dirty Dozen in an effort to prove that it is the "most powerful and violent biker gang" in the state, presiding over an empire of drugs and mayhem.
So far, it looks as if the police are spending a lot of time and money spinning their wheels.
@body:The Dirty Dozen task force, overseen by Gonzales, has spared no effort or cost in its pursuit of the club. The investigation, paid for with money seized in other drug cases, has included the cultivation of confidential informants, the tapping of telephones, the bugging of living rooms and meeting places and the posting of 24-hour watches on some members.
The two investigators the club hates most--Phoenix police detective Jack Ballentine and Mesa police detective Larry Elliget--were assigned to the task force.
Between them, the two men have spent more than 14 years of their careers dogging outlaw motorcycle clubs, particularly the Dirty Dozen. (Neither would talk about the task force's investigation.)
The effort is rooted in history. In the mid-1980s, a similar federal probe using wiretaps and surveillance resulted in charges against almost 60 club members and associates for running a widespread methamphetamine ring, including a manufacturing lab.
Many members of the Dirty Dozen, including state leaders, went to prison, and some are still there.
Chuck Martin, one of the 12 original bikers who formed the club in 1964, says there was drug trafficking at the time, and that he dropped out of the club because of it.
But since the 1985 busts, he and other members claim, the club has cleaned up its act. Martin, who has rejoined in the last few years, says the club has stopped electing statewide officers and stuck to riding bikes. Most of the rogue element is gone.
"It's just been good from that point," Martin says.
Police scoff at the assertion. In the past several years, they claim, the club has been up to its old tricks, setting out to reclaim control of the state's methamphetamine commerce.
After 14 months of investigation, authorities brought the hammer down last September 23, the day of the raids which deprived so many club members of their bikes.
It was an overwhelming display of police might.
In teams, more than 400 police of various stripes descended in the morning on the homes of Dirty Dozen members and their friends. Altogether, 68 search warrants were served in the military-style raids, most in the Phoenix area, but some also in Tucson, where there is another Dirty Dozen chapter.
The raids were picture-perfect "show busts." Reporters were invited and television cameras rolled as motorcycles and their longhaired owners were paraded down to a temporary processing center at Arizona State Fairgrounds. The daily newspapers reported that police were gloriously successful in their efforts to "smash the Dirty Dozen."
After the raids, police trumpeted some impressive-sounding numbers, saying they had seized almost 40 bikes, more than 1,000 guns, knives and other weapons and about $18,000 in cash.
(Club members say it's no secret that they have motorcycles, guns and knives. It is, in fact, pretty much the point of being in the club. The vast majority of the weapons would turn out to be legal.)
Curiously, authorities were less specific about the amount of drugs they had found. Newspaper reports noted that police found "some" methamphetamine and marijuana.
To club members, virtually all of whom have yet to be charged with anything as a result of the now-eight-month-old raids, the day was hardly the clear-cut law enforcement triumph described in the news.
Many members tell stories about wives, girlfriends and children--some of the kids as young as 3--held at gunpoint and frisked by zealous police.
Deana Tucker, a Denny's restaurant waitress and wife of one Mesa chapter member, says a gun was held to her back as she asked police to be careful not to harm her 13-year-old daughter.
Joe Weber, a Mesa chapter member, says his 11-year-old daughter was just stepping out of the shower when police burst into the house, and that she was forced to dry off and dress under the watchful eyes of hooded SWAT team members. "There's no reason for all this bullshit," he says. "None."
Because many club members were at work during the raids, members say, it was their families, in many cases, who endured hours of terror as "ninja-suited" police officers searched their houses.
The bikes, weapons and "some" amount of drugs that police heralded after the raids were, in fact, a mere fraction of what they seized.
From a look at the seizure lists that police must provide when they take someone's property, the raid teams were virtual vacuum cleaners.
They took clothes, bank books, photo albums, computers, telephones, flags, jewelry, clocks, suspenders, pens and pencils and at least seven pairs of socks.
Almost 500 tee shirts were seized in the raids, as well as at least 50 baseball caps. Anything that was labeled "Dirty Dozen," "Harley-Davidson" or something else related to motorcycles was fair game.
Many items, members say, were seized simply because they were either black or white, the club's official colors.
"I'm glad my dog wasn't wearing a black-and-white collar or they would have taken him," one member says.
Hundreds and hundreds of pairs of dice--the Dozen's trademark symbol--were taken.
Among the odder items seized were "a piggy bank with the Dirty Dozen emblem," a velvet painting of a Harley-Davidson, three cans of beer, a feather, two Gumby bubble-bath bottles and a rubber Gumby doll and "two poems by Arlene regarding prison/bikers."
And then there was the tombstone for Lonzo Pope, one of the original Dirty Dozen members who founded the club in 1964, and its first charter member to die.
Because Pope is buried in a military cemetery, the club was not allowed to put its customized marker on the grave. Instead, members carry it to the burial ground once a year and hold a brief ceremony. The rest of the year, it is stored at a member's house, which is where police seized it.
Some of the raided homes were virtually stripped clean, members say, leaving them and their families without car registrations, insurance papers, bank records, clothes or much else to continue on with their lives.
"We were held there until they went through every bit of our house and seized everything we owned," says Deana Tucker.
Even the club members' voter-registration forms, which members had filled out to take advantage of a $10 break on club dues for registered voters, were seized from the house of the member responsible for mailing them to the county.
Attorney Joel Thompson has been trying ever since the raids to help club members get their property back. The search warrant issued by Superior Court Judge David Cole, Thompson says, was a flagrantly open-ended affair that allowed police to take pretty much anything they wanted.
Some of the personal property has been returned, although most of it is still in police hands.
The sheer magnitude of the seizures, attorney Thompson and club members say, demonstrates that police will stop at nothing to pin a crime, any crime, on the Dozen.
The raids were, in fact, a gigantic sweep for evidence, Gonzales says. Police hoped to seize anything they needed to prove that the club is a racketeering organization, and who its members are.
So after having eight months to sift through their haul, have they?
"We're still in the middle of this case," Gonzales says.
@body:Since the raids, two lawyers in Attorney General Grant Woods' office have been periodically visiting a state grand jury seeking indictments based on evidence from the investigation and the seizures.
So far, the numbers look good on the surface. There have been 184 indictments against more than 40 people on charges such as conspiracy to distribute drugs, drug possession, weapons violations and fraud. Only a handful of the counts deal with actual drug possession, however. More than half, 98, are charges of using the telephone to facilitate a drug deal.
According to the indictments and grand jury testimony, three club members--Kenneth "Norton" Johnston, Douglas "Slut Dog" Wistrom and Dennis "Bubba" Ridenour--have been captured on tape in scores of conversations that allegedly involve drug deals.
They and other defendants, records show, use alleged code words like "menudo," "flywheel" and "tee shirt" to refer to methamphetamine.
"We've heard the gamut of words for drugs over the years. You can tell in the context of how it's used," says Gonzales. Surveillance teams watched the houses that were tapped or bugged, he says, and saw activity--such as people coming and going frequently--that supports the allegations.
Further, he says, police would sometimes perform "street jumps," pulling over and searching suspected customers after they left one of the houses. In some instances, he says, police did find drugs.
Police also say that undercover informants have told them that virtually all of the club's members are involved in drug trafficking to some extent. The prime informant, a former club member named Robert Gonzales, has claimed to have knowledge of rampant drug activity, police affidavits state.
Club members remember Gonzales as "that little prick" who was with the club briefly about three years ago. They say Gonzales quit after club members refused to beat up another member who Gonzales claimed was sleeping with his girlfriend. He turned informant out of spite, they contend, and made up much of the information he provided to police.
Despite Robert Gonzales' sweeping allegations, only Wistrom, Ridenour and Johnston, the latter who is now in Madison Street Jail, face the lion's share of the charges brought by the grand jury so far.
Taken together, police say, the evidence from wiretaps, informants and the sweeping raids prove that the entire club is a hotbed of criminality.
Taken apart, club members say, the state's allegations don't hold up.
Perusing the indictments, club members note some apparent problems in the government's theory that their organization is a full-blown drug cartel.
Besides Johnston, Wistrom and Ridenour--who club members are not convinced were dealing drugs--only one other Dirty Dozen member has been charged with any sort of drug-related crime. Three other members face relatively minor weapons violations.
That leaves about 120 club members who haven't been charged with anything, they say.
Most of the indictments, they point out, have come against people who are not club members, some of whose names no one recognizes. Many are women, they note, who are not even allowed in the club.
Further, police have yet to actually turn up any significant amounts of drugs. What was described by police as "some" methamphetamine and marijuana seized during the raids, the members say, would make a trifling inventory for a supposed statewide drug ring.
Lieutenant David Gonzales acknowledges that, so far, police have found only about 20 ounces of marijuana, one-half ounce of cocaine, five ounces of methamphetamine and a trace of LSD in the dozens of searches they have conducted.
"I know there aren't an overwhelming amount of drugs," Gonzales says. "But what we'd like to stress is that, although our affidavit stated that [the club] is involved in drugs and drug trafficking, that wasn't the sole intent of the investigation. The intent of the investigation was to show that this is an organized group, this is a criminal syndicate."
Members of the Dirty Dozen also note that, despite police claims to the contrary, there have been no charges involving actual violence made against any club members.
There has been one allegation that Johnston threatened to beat somebody up during a conversation on a telephone that was tapped by police.
Basically, as police listened on a wiretap, club member Johnston ranted in anger that he was going to beat up another man for harassing his ex-girlfriend and his children. Police surveillance quickly staked out the supposed victim, and saw that no assault ever took place.
Johnston also has been indicted on federal firearms charges, for illegally possessing weapons even though he is a convicted felon.
If they are, in truth, the brigands they are made out to be by police, club members say, where are the drugs? Where are the people they have supposedly been beating up and killing? Where is the proof that, beyond allegations of a few rogue members, the club itself is the Arizona equivalent of the Mafia on wheels?
The task force arrayed against them, members point out, has now spent 21 months and untold hundreds of thousands of dollars pursuing the club. It has pulled out all the stops and used all the manpower possible. And it is no closer to proving that the Dirty Dozen is a racketeering organization now, members say, than when it started its investigation.
Gonzales says investigators are still looking, and predicts that there will be more indictments in the future. Large stashes of drugs have not been found, he says, because club members might have been tipped off about the raids beforehand.
As for victims of the Dozen's alleged penchant for violence, Gonzales says, they seldom report their injuries or seek to press charges out of fear of further retaliation by the club.
Steve Tseffos, spokesman for Attorney General Grant Woods, said the office would have no comment on where the investigation is headed, or how many other charges might be sought.
But attorneys Thompson and Steve Hart, who is representing Kenneth Johnston on the federal charges, say the cops appear to be wheezing to the finish line without much to show for their mammoth task-force probe.
If so, club members say, why have they been targeted and their lives disrupted just so the police could indulge their hatred of the club?
"If they wanna pick on somebody, why don't they go down south and pick on those guys who are shooting each other, doing drive-by shootings?" says Jamaica Rick. "Why spend all this time on us?"
Chuck Martin, one of the charter Dozen members, says the police are still nursing grudges that date back years--to the mid-1980s, when a lot of club members were actually dealing speed.
If a few individual club members are dealing drugs, or whatever, the others say, then let the police prove it and send them to jail. Otherwise, they say, they're tired of being targeted simply because they are an easily spotted target.
"If they don't like the way we dress, fine. I don't like the way they dress," says Martin. "But if you've got all that time to investigate and all that taxpayer money and you don't have anything, then screw off."
@body:On a Friday night in late April, the Cave Creek chapter meets again at the truck yard. Fewer than a dozen members are present tonight. Things have mellowed since the confusing days several months earlier, when it seemed like police were popping up everywhere the Dozen went.
The day before this meeting, the club had finally won its first major victory in the war over property seized during the raids. Superior Court Judge Stephen Gerst, finding that the police had no probable cause to seize motorcycles, ordered that the bikes be given back to all members not facing criminal charges.
Over two days, members had been allowed to enter the DPS impound yard on South 16th Street to reclaim their bikes. Cynthia Gonzales, a young lawyer working with attorney Joel Thompson on the seizure cases, escorted the bikers separately into the lot, helping them through the paperwork and hoops demanded by the DPS before it would return the bikes it had illegally seized.
They had to put up with snide comments from DPS Sergeant Bob Hopper, who did not seem happy at all to be giving the vehicles back, and then they rolled the machines outside the gate to inspect the damage.
After seven months parked in the weather, the bikes were in sorry shape--seats cracked, metal rusted, gaskets rotted away. It was a bittersweet day for the owners, to whom polishing and grooming their machines are parts of an almost daily ritual.
Still, it was a step. Although most of the bikes were not yet ready to ride, the meeting on this Friday is more upbeat than most have been recently.
Old business includes an analysis of the most recent run to Lake Havasu and Laughlin, Nevada. Before next year, members decide, they'll have to get square with the Nevada police on helmet laws in that state.
New business becomes a bizarre group-therapy session. It seems Deadeye didn't make the trip because his bike was not running. Pisshead and Bumper call him on it, demanding to know why he did not accept club offers to help him repair the bike.
"It's hard for me to ask. I don't like to ask for nothing," Deadeye says.
"We're here to help you. We are your brothers. Understand that or get the fuck out," Bumper responds.
Deadeye is not disciplined. Instead, he is given two weeks to get his Harley fixed.
There being no other new business, the Cave Creek chapter adjourns to the Driftwood bar on Cave Creek Road, where it meets up with members from other chapters.

On the sidewalk outside the bar stands Skitz, a Phoenix chapter member. At one time, it would seem, the 39-year-old man must have had a fairly high IQ. Now, after years of sniffing paint fumes and indulging in drugs, he is the club's idiot savant, and its self-described spiritual leader.
Not even he can recall exactly how his alphabet became so badly scrambled, Skitz says. "It would be foolish for me to say I haven't sustained any damage from the paint fumes," is the explanation he offers.
Skitz views the club's troubles from a different perch than his colleagues. "I haven't heard anyone equate this with the social ethnic cleansing in Sarajevo yet," he says. "I really see in my mind a real similarity. It's like in the biblical days, when the scribes would take the Scriptures and add in later verses."
Having made his point, Skitz enters the bar and rejoins the brain trust of the state's most powerful and violent biker gang.

lib-web-cats now has the ability to display maps with multiple library locations that can be generated internally, or through links embedded in external pages. This map facility is based on the Google Map API Version 3 and geographic coordinates stored in library records in lib-web-cats. These coordinates have been pre-populated for libraries in the United States using the Google API or the USGS geocoder Web service. I'm still in the process of adding coordinates for other libraries.
lib-web-cats has had the ability to display maps for individual libraries for quite some time. The display of each library automatically presents a map of the library location if the coordinates of the library have been recorded. For those without coordinates, a button is presented that launches a pop-up window that attempts to display a map based on a dynamic calculation of the geographic coordinates from its street address.
The new mapping feature produces maps for different groups of libraries, such as those in a city, county, consortium, or a campus. Some examples include: Vanderbilt University, Davidson County, Tennessee, Nashville Public Library, Florida Center for Library Automation, Association of Research Libraries, Libraries using Koha worldwide, Libraries using Millennium in California.
Creating and Linking to Maps
Libraries that would like to present a map of the libraries in their system or in their geographic area can link to these maps and avoid some of the complexities of generating maps on their own sites.
One way to use the map is through the lib-web-cats pages for your library. Each map presented through lib-web-cats includes a permalink at the bottom that is a persistent URL that can be used to link to the map. Do not just copy the link from what shows in your browser since it might contain extraneous session information.
For libraries in the United States, lib-web-cats can reliably generate maps for every city and county in every state, as well as most library consortia. lib-web-cats will present links to display these maps in library listings. Look for the map symbol: which links to the appropriate map.
You can also create a map by manually constructing the URL that you want to put on your page. Such a URL includes the base URL for Library Technology Guides (http://www.librarytechnology.org/), the map script (map.pl), a question mark (?),and one or more sets of name/value pairs that represent the query that will return the list of libraries you want. Query term supported include: Country, State, County, City, Institution, OrgName, Consortia, Type, ILS, and AltOPAC (discovery interface). Each set of name/value pairs should be separated by the UTF-8 representation of the amberstand (&). Example: http://www.librarytechnology.org/map.pl?State=Massachusetts&Type=Public&ILS=Unicorn. To qualify members of the Association of Research Libraries use ARL=on, Members of the Urban Libraries Council ULS=on, libraries offering public wireless access WiFi=on. If you have any questions on how to construct the link to display the map you want, just ask me.
Limitations.The placement of libraries on the maps depend on accurate coordinate data. lib-web-cats may have missing or inaccurate data for some libraries. If you find that libraries do not display or display in an incorrect location, you will need to update the entry for that library accordingly. Registered users of Library Technology Guides can log in and update entries (all changes are logged and monitored). An easy way to determine the coordinates of a library is to find the library in Google Maps, zoom in to the maximum level, center the map on your library, and then copy the url associated with the "link" option in the upper right corner. Paste this URL into notepad or some other editing space. The "ll" parameter of this url gives the decimal representation of the longitude and latitude of the library, which can then be pasted into the lib-web-cats record. You can also use any GPS device to capture the coordinates. lib-web-cats can accept coordinates given in degrees, which are automatically converted into decimal.
Maps of library locations on a campus may be of particular interest. Currently many of the academic libraries lack accurate coordinates. But using the methods described above, you should be able to easily create an accurate map that displays all the campus library locations.
Technical details
The lib-web-cats map facility combines data from its own database, the Google Map API, and performs a variety of calculations to display each map. The display of a map using the Google API requires several different data elements, including the coordinates on which the map should be centered, the zoom level that should be applied, the coordinates of each pin location, and information to populate the descriptive pop-up window. The perl script that generates the map initially runs the query for the libraries requested for display and retrieves the geographic coordinates. It identifies the minimum and maximum values for each latitude and longitude. The mid-point between the minimum and maximum values are passed to the map API as the center position of the map. The script calculates the difference between the minimum and maximum levels, and uses the scale of the difference to assign a zoom level. With the center point and zoom values, the basic map can be requested from the Google API. Next, the script fetches values for each library, including its coordinates, name, address, and photo. These data are used to place the pin, and populate the informational window.
The presentation of each map involves a fairly large number of database transactions and calculations, but for most maps the load time is quick. Maps that involve several hundreds of libraries will take a bit longer to load. I've currently set the maximum number of libraries per map at 2,000.
Feedback Appreciated
I hope that those that use lib-web-cats will find the new mapping feature to be helpful. Feel free to link to any of the maps. And please send my any suggestions that you might have on ways to make it more useful and interesting. If you run into errors, or if you find libraries with incorrect coordinates, please report those to me.

Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) is seeking a scientist of international stature and a proven record of accomplishment for the position of the US Muon Accelerator Program Director. The U.S. DOE Office of High Energy Physics Muon Accelerator Program was created in 2010 to unify the R&D activities in the U.S. aimed at developing the concepts and technologies required for Muon Colliders and Neutrino Factories. These muon based facilities have the potential to discover and explore new exciting fundamental physics, but will require the development of demanding technologies and innovative concepts. The MAP aspires to prove the feasibility of a Muon Collider within the next 5 years, and to make significant contributions to the international effort devoted to developing Neutrino Factories.
The Director is expected to provide leadership and vision for the R&D program, to lead the muon accelerator activities in the US as it enters this present focused R&D phase, and to play a strategic international role in shaping the muon accelerator landscape beyond the US. The Director will oversee all MAP efforts, engage with other laboratories, universities and companies to strengthen the current MAP collaboration and serve as the primary interface with the collaborating institutions.
The successful candidate must have a Ph.D. in Physics or Engineering and a proven record of success in handling responsibilities at a senior management level. Applications should be sent directly to Dr. Stuart D. Henderson, Chair of the Search Committee. Applications should include a curriculum vitae, publication list, and three letters of reference and should be received by April 29, 2011.

Heh. Message too short.OK it looks like the Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G does support both parental controls and internet usage logging.
It is one of those more sophisticated hybrid devices that I mentioned.
If you connect through it the traffic will show up, and connecting to a proxy would be a dead giveaway.
Not really. If you're using a tunnel such as Tor, it's not going to show up as HTTP traffic, just a number of TCP sessions with random servers. You can bypass this by running one browser with Tor, and a second browser normally. HTTP traffic will still be present and will not set off obvious flags.
As already suggested the only solution would be to connect directly to the modem, which might not be practical depending on its location in the house?
Also if anyone else in the house tried to connect to the internet whilst you were doing this the cat would be out of the bag!
I don't know if this is possible but you would need a pay-as-you-go mobile internet account and a dongle. A rather expensive solution I know, but all that I can think of that would not risk discovery on the home network, as you wouldn't be using it.
In the US, you can get wireless dongles for less than $100 and prepaid service for about $50/mo
An ordinary account would be no good unless you could get the statements sent somewhere other than home college perhaps? Otherwise it would again be a dead giveaway.
All you would have to do then is boot from a live CD to protect you from any software installed on the laptop.
