Freedom of the press is restricted in Ukraine. But the World Newspaper Conference begins there next weekend. Can Ukrainian media gain more rights through the event?

From Michael Golden, vice chairman of the New York Times Company, to Rainer Esser, managing director of German newspaper "Die Zeit," the list of speakers at this year's World Newspaper Congress and World Editor's Forum in Kiev, Ukraine is a who's who of global media players. But one name on the list, Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, has come under growing criticism for his government's restrictions on the media.

Growing pressure on journalists

Since taking office, Yanukovych has stated on a number of occasions that press freedom is something he cares for and protects. But the reality looks somewhat different. In 2010, Yanukovych declared Kiev's media union itself "the number one enemy of the press." ON these grounds, the president's bodyguards repeatedly hindered journalists' work. Further, television reports critcial of the president were prevented from being aired.

Ukrainian journalists protest in Kiev in June 2010

International rights organization Reporters Without Borders (RWB) has reported a dramatic decrease in press freedom in Ukraine. RWB's executive director Christian Mihr said pressure on journalists has been mounting in the lead up to October general elections in the country. In RWB's latest press freedom ranking, Ukraine came in at spot 116 out of 179 countries. That was much better than their 2010 spot, but significantly worse than 2009. Under former President Viktor Yushchenko, Ukraine was in spot 89 on the list.

Impetus to boycott Kiev

Against this backdrop, the question arises whether the World Newspaper Congress should even be hosted in a country like Ukraine. Wouldn't it make more sense to boycott the event? In spring 2012, a boycott by leaders including German President Joachim Gauck forced Ukrainian leaders to cancel a summit of central European countries in Yalta. The Euro 2012 soccer tournament in Ukraine in June also saw top European politicians refusing to attend in protest of Ukraine's dismantling of democracy.

Several days before the World Newspaper Congress, the general director of Ukrainian broadcaster TVi discussed a possible boycott. Mykola Knyaschyzki said holding the event in Ukraine gave the false appearance that the country has a free press.

"The Ukrainian regime is somewhat legitimized by participating in the form," he told DW.

August 30, 2012 - Frontier League (FL) Florence Freedom NORMAL, IL - The Florence Freedom bats stayed hot again Wednesday night on the road against the Normal Cornbelters, as the Freedom won 10-6.

John Malloy helped led a balanced Freedom offensive attack by going 2-4 with his 14th home run of the season. He was aided by a big offensive from designated hitter Peter Fatse who went 3-5 with two RBI.

A see-saw battle was finally put away with a three run fourth inning that included Fatse's double to score two and an RBI single by Freedom catcher Jim Jacquot.

Brent Choban (2-1) got the win for the Freedom in relief of starter Brandon Mathes who lasted just three innings. Choban tossed two innings for the Freedom and was aided by the offense in the fourth.

The Cornbelters never got within four of the Freedom after the fourth inning thanks to relief efforts by Mike Hanley, Jose Velazquez and Matt Kline.

The win moved the Freedom's record to 53-39, most every since the Freedom moved to Florence in 2003, and allowed them to keep pace with the Schaumburg Boomers for the Frontier League's final wild card spot.

The Freedom go for the sweep Thursday night in Normal. Game time 7:30 as Andres Caceres (7-3) takes the ball for Florence. Listen to the game live Thursday night on Real Talk 1160 AM with Freedom voice Steve Jarnicki. Pregame show starts at 7:15 pm.

Freedom: The New Jazzy Freedom Power Chair by Pride Really Lives Up to its Name

As she kicked off the U.S. leg of her "MDNA Tour" in Philadelphia, Madonna said she was happy to party in the USA after touring Europe for three months.

The pop icon told the crowd Tuesday night they should "never forget how lucky you are to live where you live and to have the freedom that you have." She made the comments after talking about the arrest of three members of the punk-rock female band Pussy Riot. The women were sentenced to two years in prison after performing a "punk prayer" at Moscow's Christ the Savior cathedral in which they called on the Virgin Mary to deliver Russia from its leader, Vladimir Putin.

"In my travels around the world the one thing I truly witnessed is we in America have freedom of speech, freedom of expression," the singer said.

Madonna, who toured most of Europe from June to August, has called for the Pussy Riot members to be freed. Paul McCartney and Peter Gabriel also have spoken in the women's favor.

"I don't think that it's a coincidence that I'm in the city where the Declaration of Independence was signed," Madonna said at the Wells Fargo Center to nearly 20,000 fans. "We are in the land of democracy."

Russian activists recently sued Madonna for millions of dollars, claiming they were offended by her support for gay rights during her show in St. Petersburg. A law passed in February makes it illegal to promote homosexuality to minors, and the author of that law has pointed to the presence of children as young as 12 at Madonna's concert on Aug. 9. (Minors also attended Madonna's U.S. show.)

When speaking about Pussy Riot, Madonna said that about 80 gay men were jailed in St. Petersburg because of their sexual orientation. She told the crowd that the arrests were unfair, and they booed in her support.

Then the 53-year-old told the U.S. audience: "Don't get fat and lazy and take that freedom for granted."

Madonna kicked off her concert late on Tuesday, apologizing to the crowd, who began to boo before she hit the stage around 10:30 p.m. EST.

"We had many changes to make from Europe to America, and I wanted the show to be perfect for you because my fans deserve it and quite frankly I deserve it," she said.

Madonna Tells Fans Appreciate Freedom

Freedom of speech is more important for Russians than rallies, a poll conducted by the Levada Center pollster showed.

Eighty-three percent of Russians need freedom of speech, 62 percent freedom of rallies and demonstrations, and 76 percent would like to go abroad unhindered, according to the poll whose results were published on Wednesday.

Seventy percent of those polled said individual freedom and personal interests are above all, and the state should guarantee that these are observed. Thirty percent said the interests of the state are above all other things.

A total of 42 percent of respondents - 5 percent more than 11 years ago - said they believe Russia should be a country closed to others to be successfully developing. Fifty-eight percent said Russia should become integrated in the international community not to lag behind other nations.

Seventy-eight percent said they want to see Russia as a country which is comfortable to live in, and which prioritizes its nationals needs, while 22 percent said they need their country to have military power and be respected worldwide.

The poll was conducted on August 17-21, 2012, among 1,601 urban and rural residents aged 18 and above in 130 localities of 45 Russian regions.

The statistical margin of error does not exceed 3.4 percent.

Freedom of Speech ‘More Important’ for Russians than Rallies

GOP adopts Internet freedom plank: Part of the platform the Republican party adopted Tuesday night included language to protect Internet freedom, something that lawmakers and interest groups on both sides of the aisle have been calling for in recent months.

Several groups that lobbied against the online piracy bills known as the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect IP (Intellectual Property) Act have petitioned Republicans and Democrats to affirm a commitment to the open Internet as planks in their party platforms, and lawmakers such as Reps. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) and Anna Eshoo (D-Calif.) have made similar cases to party leadership.

The Republican plank is focused on removing regulation around technology businesses, as well as language that would protect personal data online from the government. The platform language also says that the party will resist any effort to move Internet governance away from its current multistakeholder model in favor of international or intergovernmental organizations.

The GOP also specifically criticized the Federal Communications Commission, saying that the agencys net neutrality rule and other regulations show the Obama administration is frozen in the past. The platform proposes that the federal government inventory its spectrum to discover how much of it could be auctioned to the public.

Cybersecurity: Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) has asked that President Obama put out an executive order of take other appropriate action to pass measures to enhance the cybersecurity of the countys critical infrastructure, the Hill reported.

On Tuesday, Feinstein sent a letter to the president asking him to take action because she believes that Congress will not be able to pass a strong cybersecurity law by the end of this session.

A broad cybersecurity bill failed in the Senate this month.

LulzSec arrest: The FBI has arrested a second man suspected of being a member of the hacking group LulzSec, which claimed responsibility for cyber attacks against Sony in late spring 2011.

According to Reuters, Raynaldo Rivera of Tempe, Ariz., faces up to 15 years in prison on charges that he aided hackers in posting personal information taken from Sony online.

Challenge to FTC, Google settlement: Consumer Watchdog has won the right to oppose the Federal Trade Commissions $22.5 billion challenge to a settlement with Google on privacy matters, the group said Wednesday.

Freedom High football player Isaac Tanner talked about the first time he stepped up as a leader. It was halftime in a basketball game, trailing by double-digits and Tanner felt compelled to step up and take control. He scored 15 second-half points and helped his team earn the win.

That was when he was eight years old. Tanner has readily stepped up to the challenge again and again and the now 17-year-old will be called upon again as the captain and starting middle linebacker for the Patriots.

No problem for the 6-foot-1, 220-pound Tanner.

"I've been a captain since my sophomore year and I've never thought you have to be a senior to be a leader," Tanner said. "It's all about the type of presence you bring and what type of leadership you have and I've gladly accepted that role."

However, the task for Tanner and first-year Patriots coach Todd Donohoe is far more than just stepping in and filling a role it's about building a tradition at a school that has yet to find one. Donohoe enters as the seventh head coach in 11 seasons and the third coach Tanner and his fellow seniors have known.

"The Culture at Freedom hasn't been built yet," Tanner said. "We are trying to establish that whole school unity of being behind the team, the whole community to behind us. With so many coaches we just haven't had any of that going for the team."

For Donohoe, the former head coach at Strawberry Crest and an assistant at Armwood, Tanner is the kind of player who makes trying to build a tradition at a school a little bit easier.

"He's a leader in and out," Donohoe said. "He's a program player who never misses a practice, is always on time and doing the right thing on top of being big as a house and one of the top linebackers in the area."

Tanner, who has offers from Elon, Florida Atlantic, Florida International, Middle Tennessee State, North Dakota, North Dakota State, Ohio and Western Kentucky, will anchor what should be the Patriots strength this season with a solid defense.

Republican Party Adopts Internet Freedom as its Own

28 August 2012 Last updated at 17:28 ET

A Lisburn council motion to grant the Orange Order the freedom of the city has cleared its first hurdle.

The council agreed on Tuesday to pass the DUP proposal to the committee stage, despite opposition from Sinn Fein and the Alliance Party.

It will go through equality screening, for assessment on whether it has the potential to impact differently and unfairly on various groups.

The motion was proposed by Paul Givan, a DUP councillor and assembly member.

Mr Givan said it had "nothing to do with getting the right to march in Lisburn".

"This is all about recognising an organisation which has over 600 halls in Northern Ireland, used extensively by the community," he said.

"In Lisburn in particular, the community get excellent value out of the Orange Order - they are part of our society and we want to recognise them."

Sinn Fein councillor Arthur Carson said the Orange Order had "a lot of reforming to do" before his party would back such a proposal.

"The anti-Catholic stance in terms of membership, the refusal to engage with residents groups over parades, expelling members who attend Catholic services - these are all big issues that the Orange Order need to take into consideration," he said.

Orange city freedom clears hurdle

FREEDOM - Last season Freedom returned to the postseason for the first time since 2004 and despite losing in Level 1 to eventual Division 4 state champ Wrightstown, expectations are higher in 2012.

In Week 1 of the football season, the Irish under a new coach, certainly met those expectations as it crushed Berlin, 52-7, in an Eastern Valley Conference game. That performance has made Freedom the FOX 11 Team of the Week.

The 52 points were the most scored by Freedom since the 2010 season finale, when Freedom scored 60 points in a win over Berlin.

Its surprising we put so many points up, but its not in a way, coach Clint Kriewaldt said. The way our kids are working together, they want to learn. They want to soak in knowledge.

Kriewaldt is a big reason for Freedoms optimism. The Shiocton High School graduate was part of the Pittsburgh Steelers Super Bowl XL team as a linebacker and he also played for the Detroit Lions.

Having a guy like that who knows that much about football, its great to have running back Bo Casper said.

Casper was part of Freedoms onslaught Friday, rushing for 174 yards on six carries and scored three touchdowns. Casper was pleased with the first game.

Youre always coming in not quite sure how that first games going to go, Casper said. Were happy with the outcome of the game.

Added lineman Reed Ambrosis: It was a good game. We were projected to lose by 21 points, but we came out and showed the conference what we were going to do.

Freedom is confident it can compete in the Eastern Valley with usual penthouse teams Xavier and Waupaca. Xavier has won or shared the last three titles.

Groups want two major U.S. parties to support Internet 'freedom'

Internet facilitates freedom, but it also makes violations easier. Fundamentally, it's all about an individual's responsibility towards ensuring one's freedom doesn't interfere with other's freedom

Dr. Bob Hoekstra, former CEO of Philips

Freedom is the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint and the state of not being subjected to or affected by something undesirable. That is what the Oxford dictionary says.

In simpler words: I am free if I can do and say what I want and others do not impact me with undesirable stuff.

In Internet terms: I can write and read the information I want and get no spam. I am in control.

Internet brings instant communication and multiplication capability of all information from all people, to all people, in all regions, in all languages and with sound and video.

That gives much more freedom to individuals, as the power to express is much enhanced.

Spectacular are the many sites where people share their knowledge freely and usefully. Wikipedia replaced expensive encyclopedia, affordable to a few only, and made one by all, for all of the same quality, free. YouTube made publication of your music and TED presentations much easier and free.

User groups share information on how to best use your apparatus and fix problems. Political sites show the programs of political parties, and compare their promises and performance.

Smartphones with camera and video capability allow every individual to be a reporter.

The Republican and Democratic parties in the U.S. should take a stand for Internet "freedom" during their upcoming national conventions, a group of Internet activists urged Monday.

More than 36,000 people have signed a petition, started by 'Net activist group Demand Progress in mid-August, calling on the two major parties to add Internet freedom language to their party platforms. Demand Progress reiterated its call for Internet freedom language in the platforms on Monday, a day before the Republican convention starts in Tampa, Florida. The Democratic convention is next week in Charlotte, North Carolina.

"The next two weeks will determine which party is the party of the 'Net," David Segal, executive director of Demand Progress, said in an email. "Internet start-ups, civil liberties groups, and Internet users generally will be paying close attention to who really represents us."

U.S. residents are becoming more concerned about threats to Internet freedom as their dependence on the Internet grows, Segal added. "It behooves both parties to demonstrate their support for that cause -- in their platforms, and in their legislative undertakings," he said. "If they fail to do so, the swelling number of Internet-savvy voters will start to look elsewhere."

The Internet freedom language proposed by Demand Progress and other groups is fairly general, and doesn't specifically mention net neutrality, the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) or the controversial cybersecurity bills debated in Congress this year. Several of the groups pushing for the Internet freedom language opposed SOPA, the Protect IP Act (PIPA) and the cybersecurity bills.

"We ... urge political parties to explicitly adopt positions that protect and foster an open Internet that equally respects the rights of ordinary users, as well as the thousands of companies and organizations who rely on this platform everyday," the supporters of the Internet freedom language said in an open letter to the two parties. "We further urge American political parties to clearly reject efforts to censor the Internet and engage in unwarranted surveillance of its users -- and to do so in writing."

Other groups advocating the Internet freedom in the party platforms include the Center for Democracy and Technology, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Mozilla, Cheezburger.com and the Free Press Action Fund.

There are some indications that both parties are considering Internet language in their platforms. On Friday, the Daily Caller published what it called a leaked Internet freedom proposal for the Republican platform.

In addition, four Democratic lawmakers, Representatives Zoe Lofgren, Anna Eshoo and Doris Matsui, all from California, and Jared Polis of Colorado, have urged the Democratic Party to include Internet freedom language in their party's platform.

"We strongly recommend ensuring the platform includes this or similar language: 'The Democratic Party stands for global Internet freedom, the free flow of information online, a free and open Internet, and protection from online censorship and privacy violations,'" the four wrote to party leaders last Wednesday.

Wild Things Rally Past Freedom, Avoid Sweep

Four imprisoned fiends convicted in the 1988 assassination of rookie NYPD cop Edward Byrne are set to appear before their parole boards for the first time this fall to seek their freedom, The Post has learned.

The quartet of craven killers Philip Copeland, Scott Cobb, Todd Scott and David McClary shot Byrne, a 103rd Precinct patrol cop, on Feb. 26, 1988, inside his marked patrol car in Jamaica, Queens.

The thugs shot the 22-year-old Byrne five times in the head in exchange for $8,000 in blood money from their drug boss, who had been busted by officers a day earlier and offered the dough to anyone who killed a cop in retaliation.

Edward Byrne

Byrnes death made national headlines as a stark reminder of the surging tide of urban violence often associated with the distribution of crack cocaine and became a defining moment in the citys war on crime.

The crimes brutality led President Ronald Reagan to call the family to express his condolences and Vice President George H.W. Bush to carry the slain officers NYPD badge with him on the campaign trail.

Edward Byrnes merciless assassins should leave prison only in coffins, Patrolmens Benevolent Association President Patrick Lynch told The Post recently, referring to the cons bid at freedom.

Carole Weaver, a spokeswoman for the state Division of Parole, said that beginning in November, each of the convicts will undergo separate interviews with parole-board commissioners at the prisons where they are now inmates.

The Byrne family have been told to show up on the morning of Oct. 5 at the West 40th Street offices of the state Division of Parole to provide victim impact statements about the pending parole bids, sources said.

Lawrence Byrne, a lawyer who is the slain officers brother, did not return calls for comment.

Hannah Giles, of the American Phoenix Foundation, speaks Saturday during the Freedom Conference at The Steamboat Grand.

Steamboat Springs Freedom Conference attendees on Saturday got to hear what drove Hannah Giles to investigate corruption at an agency that was supposed to be advocating for low-income families.

Giles was a 20-year-old aspiring journalist who had landed an internship in the Washington, D.C., area during summer 2009. While out for a jog, she ran past the housing barracks for the The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN.

It hit me, Giles said. I could do an investigation. Theyre right here.

She said she had written investigative pieces that were critical of ACORN and its political ties during college, but the articles did not change the national perception of the organization.

By the time Giles had finished her jog and returned to her apartment, she said she had formulated a plan to investigate ACORN.

She joined with James O'Keefe, who along with Giles is generally described as a conservative activist. Together, at a cost of $1,500, they produced a number of undercover videos that drew national controversy and led to the organizations downfall. One of the videos was shown at the beginning of Giles speech Saturday. It showed O'Keefe, posing as a pimp, and Giles posing as a prostitute. An ACORN employee was offering them advice on how to avoid paying taxes on their prostitution ring.

ACORN lost its government and private funding and declared bankruptcy in 2009.

Today, Giles helps lead investigations for the American Phoenix Foundation. According to its website, the goal of the foundation is to recruit and train select young potential leaders to transcend the traditional media by becoming independent truth-seeking journalists who relentlessly pursue truth with courage and creativity.

Freedom Conference speaker emphasizes truth and justice

August 25, 2012 - Frontier League (FL) Florence Freedom Florence, KY-The Florence Freedom (51-38) continued their winning ways Saturday night as they put together clutch hits late in the game for a 3-1 win against the Washington Wild Things(38-51).

It was the Freedom's seventh straight win as they remain tied for the final wild card spot with Lake Erie, and Schaumburg with just seven games left in the season.

The Wild Things took a 1-0 lead in the 2nd on an RBI single by Jovan Rosa. The Freedom then tied it in their 2nd on a leadoff solo homerun from Eddie Rodriguez. It was Rodriguez's 14th homer of the season and his seventh in his last seven games.

The game remained 1-1 until the 8th inning. Pierre LePage led off with a single against reliever Chandler Barnard. David Harris then drove a pitch to deep center field which scored LePage from first on the RBI double. Peter Fatse also contributed in the inning with an RBI single of his own to make the score 3-1. Fatse drove in his team high 65th RBI of the season.

Andres Caceres started for the Freedom and turned in a quality start. The lefty went 7 innings allowing 2 hits on 1 earned run. He also matched his career high in strikeouts with 6 as he walked 5.

Caceres earned a no decision as Matt Kline(3-3) earned the win out of relief. Kline retired the only batter he faced Darian Sandford in the 8th on a pop out to second base.

Jorge Marban nailed down his 14th save of the year and his fourth in as many games.
