Book Review: Locked Down: Information Security For Lawyers
benrothke writes "Had Locked Down: Information Security for Lawyers not been published by the American Bar Association (ABA) and 2 of its 3 authors not been attorneys; one would have thought the book is a reproach against attorneys for their obliviousness towards information security and privacy. In numerous places, the book notes that lawyers are often clueless when it comes to digital security. With that, the book is a long-overdue and valuable information security reference for anyone, not just lawyers." Read below for the rest of Ben's review.

By Ivan Herman , W3C Semantic Web Activity Lead Electronic books are on the rise everywhere. For some this threatens centuries-old traditions; for others it opens up new possibilities in the way we think about information exchange in general, and about books in particular. Hate it or love it: electronic books are with us to stay. A press release issued by the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project in December 2012 describes an upward trend in the consumption of electronic books. The trends are similar in the UK, China, Brazil, Japan, and other countries. “…the number of Americans over age 16 reading eBooks rose in 2012 from 16 to 23 percent, while those reading printed books fell from 72 percent to 67. …the number of owners of either a tablet computer or e-book reading device such as a Kindle or Nook grew from 18% in late 2011 to 33% in late 2012. …in late 2012 19% of Americans ages 16 and older own e-book reading devices such as Kindles and Nooks, compared with ...

Pew Study Suggests Libraries (And Print) Still Have A Future In An E-Book World
A new study from the Pew Internet and American Life Project looks at the future of libraries. The study, titled "Library services in the digital age," doesn't include anything particularly shocking or revelatory, but it suggests that many people still value the role libraries, and that librarians are thinking about how their services can evolve. Pew found that in the past 12 months, 53 percent of Americans who are 16 or older visited a library or bookmobile, 25 percent visited a library website, and 13 percent visited a library website using a smartphone or tablet. Of those "recent library users," 26 percent said their usage has gone up in the past five years — the most commonly given reasons were the enjoyment of taking children and grandchildren, the need to do research and use reference materials, and plain old borrowing books more. Meanwhile, 22 percent said their usage had gone down, and the biggest reason by far was the Internet.

God and Love of Israel are as American as apple pie
Oops! The Democrats omitted reference to God and to Jerusalem as the capital of Israel in their 2012 platform. Republicans attacked and so damage control was the order of the day.
