03 October 2013 | Freedom on the Net 2013 is the fourth report in a series of comprehensive studies of internet freedom around the globe and covers developments in 60 countries that occurred between May 2012 and April 2013. Over 60 researchers, nearly all based in the countries they analyzed, contributed to the project by researching laws and practices relevant to the digital media, testing the accessibility of select websites, and interviewing a wide range of sources, among other research activities. This edition's findings indicate that internet freedom worldwide is in decline, with 34 out of 60 countries assessed in the report experiencing a negative trajectory during the coverage period. Broad surveillance, new laws controlling web content, and growing arrests of social-media users drove this overall decline in internet freedom in the past year. Nonetheless, Freedom on the Net 2013 also found that activists are becoming more effective at raising awareness of emerging threats and, in several cases, have helped forestall new repressive measures.

Comedian and actor Lenny Henry has been officially given the freedom of his home town of Dudley.
He was given the honour for his "outstanding contribution to charity" and services to entertainment, the council said.
Henry said that his home town "has fuelled everything I've done for 36 or 37 years".
"I've always been proud of being from Dudley - this just cements it," he said.
He was presented with a scroll at a ceremony at the town hall, and his name has been added to to the plaque listing the freemen of the borough.
Peter Collins, who lives in the town said: "There aren't many famous people from around here, so it's fair enough I say - good on him."
Another local told the BBC Mr Henry's charity work has made him "quite a popular man around here".
Henry said it was "fantastic" for someone who was "brought up working class in Dudley" to be given the honour.
"This just wasn't on the cards for me because I worked in a factory as a welder and then I had this incredible blessing, so this feels like the cherry on the sundae," he added.

Elaine Riddick was 14 when she was sterilized by the state of North Carolina, immediately following the birth, by cesarean section, of a son, her only child. Although she scored above the state's IQ threshold of 75, the five-person Eugenics Board approved the recommendation for her sterilization, labeling Riddick "feebleminded" and "promiscuous" and noting that her schoolwork was poor and that she did not get along well with others.
For almost 30 years, she has sought compensation for this injury. She was among the first to bring a civil case against the state, a case she lost, in the 1970s, and she has been one of the most outspoken sterilization victims, appearing on NBC's Rock Center and on Al Jazeera. And yet she acknowledges that no amount of money can ever repair the damage the state did to her. "You cannot put a price tag on motherhood," Riddick said.
What would she have given to have more children? "I would have given up my life. My whole life."
If monetary compensation$10 million to be divided among the fewer than 3,000 living victims in 2015will not address the wrongs done to the 7,600 people sterilized by the state of North Carolina, then what is the point of adding millions of dollars to the budget of a state with a struggling economy? The answer may lie with the legal theory of transitional justice, a method of confronting legacies of human rights abuses through criminal prosecution, truth commissions, reparations and institutional reform.
Transitional justice addresses the primary objections of those resistant to expensive, government-funded programs, namely that financial compensation will not make victims whole again, and taxpayers should not have to pay for something they did not do. The practice can be traced back to the Nuremberg Trials, and more recent examples include the truth commissions in South Africa, Rwanda and Sierra Leone.
Though the genocide and war crimes investigated by those trials and commissions may seem far removed from the experiences of those targeted by North Carolina's Eugenics Board, forced sterilization is in fact a violation of the United Nation's Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Article XVI states: "Men and women of full age, without any limitation due to race, nationality or religion, have the right to marry and to found a family. [...] The family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the State." According to the United Nations, measures disrupting the reproductive acts of a group can also be considered genocide.
David Gray, a University of Maryland law professor, has written that transitional justice is not a matter of "ordinary justice." It is not about making victims whole again, as in tort law (for instance in the case of genocide, nothing will do that), or about the assignment of blame for past wrongs. Gray says transitional justice is "Janus-faced," ideally addressing both "an abusive past and a future committed to democracy, human rights, and the rule of law."
Monetary compensation does not seek to restore the victims to their earlier conditions but to help correct the status injustice they experienced, and also to establish a "pre-commitment" from the state that the wrong they experienced will never happen again. According to Gray, the cost is best borne by the state, even if those in power were not involved or even alive during the time of the abuses, as an expression of that commitment. "'I didn't do it' is a non sequitur when the fundamental question is 'How do we make it right?'"
I asked Gray how North Carolina could both recognize the state's abusive past and ensure that it never happens again.
His first suggestion was a public, accessible archive of documents related to the program (one already exists online, but is not comprehensive). "That way," he said, "there can never be a dispute about what happened."

An approaching noreaster will be the first test of Jersey Shore beaches that have not fully recovered from Sandy.
State climatologist Dave Robinson says the storm could cause some minor flooding along the coast and bay areas.
Its not a particularly powerful storm, but its a slow mover, and that can be just as dangerous in some respects because you get high tide after high tide with the winds pushing those waters towards shore. So over time you can build up abnormally high tides.
Stewart Farrell is director of the Coastal Research Center at Stockton College. He does not expect the noreaster will cause major problems at the shore.
This one will be the first bite out of the width of the beach and the elevation of the berm. It should not reach the dunes at all. It should expend itself on what accumulated this summer. It should not produce any catastrophic or even semi-catastrophic events that change things even in spite of essentially a more vulnerable beach at times in some places.
Farrell says most New Jersey beaches have about 60 to 70 percent of the sand they did before Sandy with most of it returned by natural wave action and the rest trucked in for restoration projects.
He expects the beaches should be able to provide adequate protection unless there are a series of back-to-back noreasters that cause major erosion.
If they come once a week, we could be in trouble pretty quickly. If they happen the next couple of days and then its a nice fall Indian summer for two or three weeks then it will all recover again.

Beaches closed to cars
St. Johns Countys beaches are expected to be closed to driving until at least Friday morning because of unusually high tides and surf.
Beaches are still open to pedestrians, said county Beach Manager Billy Zeits.
Onshore winds from the northeast have contributed to the conditions, including tides over 6 feet high.
When you combine the surf winds and tide, it doesnt leave us a whole lot of beach, he said.
Medical ethics course
A six-week seminar called Life in the Balance: Jewish Perspectives on Everyday Medical Dilemmas will be presented by the Rohr Jewish Learning Institute at 7 p.m. Wednesday beginning Oct. 30 at the Aaron and Blanche Scharf Chabad Center, 521 Florida A1A N. in Ponte Vedra Beach.
Rabbi Nochum Kurinsky will conduct the six course sessions, designed to acquaint the public with Jewish perspectives on dilemmas in medical ethics. Topics ranging from end-of-life issues to preventive measures and respect due to the body after death will be presented, designed for people at all levels of Jewish knowledge.
The course at Chabad at the Beaches is accredited to offer credits for medical professionals, attorneys in most states and dentists. The course is $85 per person and open to the public.

When astronomers peer through their telescopes into the dark night sky during a Dudley Observatory Hilltown Star Party, they know the truth is out there.
Amateur stargazers of all ages gather monthly in an open field at the Octagon Barn in Delanson, a rural site with limited light pollution, to navigate the constellations with a professional astronomer.
The star parties are part of programming offered by the observatory, which was founded in 1852 and is the oldest independent organization in the country supporting research on astronomy and its history.
The nonprofit uses astronomy to promote science education, with an emphasis on early career development in the sciences and technology. It offers many space-themed programs and educational outreach through Starlab a portable, inflatable planetarium dome.
"The kids are thrilled by it," said Elissa Kane, Dudley's interim executive director. "Just like dinosaurs, astronomy is often their first exposure to real science, which they have their own curiosity about because of stories like 'Star Wars' and 'Star Trek.' It's all very compelling."
The observatory was one of six local organizations this fall to receive assistance through the Times Union Hope Fund, which raises money to help pay for after-school and summer-camp programs for at-risk and poor children in the Capital Region.
This season, the fund awarded $27,500 that in most cases allowed kids to attend programs for free.
Grants were also distributed to the Capital District Community Gardens Produce Project, Electronic Body Arts Inc. Dance Kids, Park Playhouse Inc. Workshop, Siena College Educating Dynamic Girl Entrepreneurs, and the Mechanicville Area Community Services Center Inc.
The observatory in Schenectady, which moved its operation to miSci (the Museum of Innovation and Science) at 15 Nott Terrace Heights, received $2,500, with additional funding provided by Stewart's Shops.
