The Foundation â€“ Vision for a Trans-Human Institute Retreat

Transhuman Comments Off

May 242013

The Foundation has been focused for some time on building a trans-human research facility that would focus on the moral and ethical use of technology to improve the human condition, to help humanity transcend our limitations and help raise the standard of civilization. This is the retreat, a center for research, the collection of knowledge and the Foundation library and archive. The location is open to all that share this goal in some way; whether living on site, contributing to the goal or visiting the Archive. We hope to help accomplish the aforementioned vision.

The Retreat is to provide a physical forum for various people in the trans-humanist community to come together and support various projects related to topics such as AI, sustainability, robotics, longevity and more. The initial development facility is located about 20 miles from Seattle, WA near the mountains with space for about 8 on site staff as well as room for various projects, living area, work areas and more. The location is near a number of major colleges (University of Washington, PLU) and several community colleges (Green River, Highline); as well as being between the 2 major cities (Seattle and Tacoma) in Washington State on the West coast of the United States.

Participants or staff members are expected to maintain a high moral and ethical standard, practice an open source approach to various research projects and be examples for what post humanity should be. To live on staff there is a 400 dollar a month fee to cover living costs (mortgage, utilities, food etc.) and each live in staff must additionally do the following:

Adhere to a high moral and ethical standard

Consider yourself a trans-humanist

The Internet and freedom for all

Freedom Comments Off

May 232013

By Malou Mangahas, PCIJ

STOCKHOLM, Sweden Freedom for all, and all stakeholders speaking out with equal voice, on how to govern the Internet. Internet Freedom. Internet for Freedom.

These issues drive the two-day Stockholm Internet Forum 2013 (SIF13) that opens today, May 22 in this country that ranks top in the world for leveraging the potentials of the Internet, according to the latest Web Index.

The forum focuses on two themes Internet Freedom and Security, and Internet Freedom and Development. Policymakers, netizens, techies, activists, and business and civil society representatives from 93 countries are participants.

(The PCIJ is attending the conference on invitation of the forum organizers, namely, the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs, .Se or The Internet Infrastructure Foundation of Sweden, and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency or SIDA.)

At the reception for delegates on Tuesday, Fadi Chehade, president of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), called the Internet a free gift for all the people. It would thus be wrong for any one party, organization, or government to propose to control or govern it by itself, he said.

While some countries like the United States have played a big part in developing it, Chehade notes that even the US acknowledges that there is need everywhere for this great resource.

No one organization, no one country, no one government, no one, period, can control the Internet, he said. And we must respect it and govern it like that.

However, across nations and regions of the world, he noted that some parties have done a pretty miserable job of managing the Internet.

The conundrum that confronts governments, civil society, academia, and business is precisely how to manage this resources that spans the planet and crosses borders.

China: Japan, Allies Risk 'Long-Term Damage' Over Islands

Islands Comments Off

May 052013

China continues to accuse Japan of provoking disputes over contested islands in the East China Sea. The Obama administration opposes any unilateral change to Japanese administration of the islands.

China says Japanese activists near the disputed islands are worsening tensions between Beijing and Tokyo.

“It’s Japan that stirred up and exacerbated tensions on the islands issue. It’s also Japan that took direct and threatening actions. These are very evident facts that say who is right or wrong,” said Chinese Ambassador to the United States Cui Tiankai.

The potentially mineral-rich islands, known as “Diaoyu” in China and “Senkaku” in Japan, are administered by Tokyo – a status quo that Washington backs.

U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said any change that raises tensions could threaten regional stability. “Therefore, the United States opposes any unilateral or coercive action that seeks to undermine Japan’s administrative control,” he said.

And Beijing sees that as Washington siding with Tokyo, said Cato Institute analyst Justin Logan.

“The American position, I think, has been confusing and unhelpful. We say that we don’t take a position on whether the islands are Japanese, but we take a position that they are covered by a treaty with Japan,” said Logan.

A U.S.-Japan defense treaty covers any attack on Japanese-administered territory. Chinese ambassador Cui said Japan and its allies risk “long-term damage” over the islands.

“Some Japanese politicians take up these actions like lifting a rock, only to drop it on their own feet. We hope that other parties do not lift up rocks for the Japanese, and we hope even more that these rocks don’t end up falling on their own feet,” said Cui.

Washington wants better relations with Beijing, but the chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Martin Dempsey, said he has told Chinese officials that does not mean weakening ties with Japan.

'Tax havens' sign deal to curb tax evasion

Tax Havens Comments Off

May 022013

LONDON – Tax havens such as Bermuda and the Cayman Islands will work more closely with Britain and other European countries to fight tax evasion, British finance minister George Osborne said on Thursday.

With governments in most advanced economies short of tax revenue after the financial crisis, pressure has been growing on small territories with big banking sectors to lift bank secrecy and do more to combat tax dodging and money laundering.

The United States has been in a lengthy dispute with Switzerland over the latter’s bank secrecy rules, while the European Union also has turned up pressure on two of its smaller members, Austria and Luxembourg.

Austria in turn has accused Britain and the United States of shielding their own tax havens.

Now British overseas territories such as Bermuda, the Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands – which are effectively colonies with some self-government – will have to automatically provide details the ownership of bank accounts, and about how they are used, Britain’s finance ministry said.

“This represents a significant step forward in tackling illicit finance and sets the global standard in the fight against tax evasion,” Osborne said.

The information will be shared by Britain, Germany, France, Italy and Spain, which agreed in June last year to work together to combat tax evasion.

The Isle of Man also will be subject to the deal, but two other major offshore centers, Jersey and Guernsey, have not yet agreed to share information with countries other than Britain.

The other territories affected by the deal are the Caribbean islands of Anguilla, Montserrat and the Turks and Caicos.

Britain has made fighting tax evasion a priority while it chairs the G8 group of advanced economies this year, and in two weeks it will host a meeting of finance ministers from the bloc.

SEO Growth Not Enough To Crack U.S. Top 200 Careers

SEO Comments Off

Apr 292013

London, England (PRWEB UK) 29 April 2013

BOUGH SEO has been digesting the findings of Career Casts 2013 Jobs Rated report, and was shocked to discover that Search Engine Optimization and Digital Marketing are still considered to be outside of the top 200 career choices in the United States.

Jobs Rated is an annual report that compiles the top 200 careers based on work environment and stress, hiring outlook, and average salary.

According to eMarketer, U.S. based businesses alone will spend $19.8bn on search marketing in 2013. By 2016, the SEO industry in the U.S. will double its revenues compared to the start of the decade from $12bn to $24.5bn, while the overall digital marketing sector will achieve similar growth numbers in the same time.

The failure of SEO careers to make the top 200 list is not symptomatic of a lack of interest in online-based employment opportunities in general; there are four career options all found in the top 125 positions on the list.

Website Developer, 24th place, average salary c. $78,000 Market Research Analyst, 40th place, average salary c. $62,000 Online Sales Manager, 82st place, average salary c. $88,000 Advertising Account Executive, 124th place, average salary c. $67,000

Stress in these roles was relatively low, while employment prospects were all at or above the average levels for those positions, and were among the highest throughout the entire ranking. While some may consider web development similar to SEO, there are marked differences between what a professional in each field would do.

One reason for SEO not cracking the top 200 careers list is likely a lack of knowledge about the industry. Despite the impressive growth numbers, SEO is still an alien and obscure industry to many who are not directly involved with it in some respect. At the same time, interest in traditional marketing positions remains as strong as ever, despite greater levels of business investment moving to digital marketing areas.

There is no doubt that a career in an SEO agency as an SEO professional can be an exciting and rewarding one. Stress levels would match the lows found in other online positions, while the employment opportunities in such a fast growing business are obvious. An entry level SEO can expect, on average, to earn c. $44,000 depending on experience, with salaries steadily increasing with career progression. Mid-level strategist and management roles can earn from $60,000, while senior marketing directors can expect to approach six-figure sums.

While such studies aim to inform jobseekers and students and diversify employment markets, these groups should also consider the potential of a career in an industry such as SEO. This is especially true when you consider the industry can be easy to move into, even as a freelancer and low-paid positions such as bartender and hairstylist still hold prominent positions in the top 200.

Congress pushes for â€˜Internet Freedomâ€™ as U.N. showdown looms

Freedom Comments Off

Apr 222013

The House is pushing forward in an effort to block a United Nations-related group from potentially allowing countries to censor the Internet, before an international showdown this fall.

The House Energy and Commerce Committee approved a draft bill, with little fanfare last week, that repeated a claim that it is the policy of the United States to preserve and advance the successful multi-stakeholder model that governs the Internet.

Congress had passed a resolution to that effect last year, but now its seeking to get an official law on the books before a big international conference in October in South Korea.

Some contentious language was struck from the bill that might have affected the current policy of net neutrality, which allows the federal government to make sure Internet providers provide equal access to companies that want to stream video and other content.

But the basic gist of the bill was to make sure a message was sent to U.N.-sponsored International Telecommunications Union (ITU).

Last December, the United States and its key allies didnt sign a draft ITU treaty in Dubai that proposed that individual nations had the power to potentially censor the Internet.

The last-second addition of wording about the rights of all nations to have a role in controlling the Internet sparked outrage from Western nations.

This February, departing Federal Communications Commissioner Robert McDowell warned the House committee that the ITU had plans that werent in the best interest of the United States.

Last years bipartisan and unanimous congressional resolutions clearly opposing expansions of international powers over the Internet reverberated throughout the world and had a positive and constructive effect, he said.

The dramatic encroachments on Internet freedom secured in Dubai will serve as a stepping stone to more international regulation of the Internet in the very near future. The result will be devastating even if the United States does not ratify these toxic new treaties, he added.

Governor Bill Richardson Joins Fuel Freedom Foundation's Board of Advisors

Freedom Comments Off

Apr 222013

IRVINE, CA–(Marketwired – Apr 22, 2013) – Fuel Freedom Foundation announced today that former governor of New Mexico Bill Richardson has joined their board of advisors. Richardson’s accomplished career in public service will help drive the organization further toward its goal of creating open competition in the transportation fuels market.

Fuel Freedom is a nonpartisan, nonprofit campaign that advocates for the end of the oil monopoly, which will enable cheaper, cleaner, American-made replacement fuels to compete fairly with gasoline at the pump.

Richardson will be joining a distinguished board of advisors that includes former president of Shell Oil, John Hofmeister, former Central Intelligence Agency director, Jim Woolsey and former Rockefeller Foundation president, Peter Goldmark.

Prior to joining Fuel Freedom, Richardson completed two successful terms as governor of New Mexico, beginning in 2002, through January of 2011. In 1997, he served for fifteen years representing the third congressional district of New Mexico in the United States Congress. In the Clinton administration, Richardson served as energy secretary and United States ambassador to the United Nations. He has had a long and successful career in public service, academia and in the private sector.

“Fuel Freedom Foundation is dedicated to breaking America’s oil addiction and promoting the development of American-made replacement fuels. Ending the oil monopoly is critical for the United States,” said Governor Richardson. “Introduction of replacement fuels into our economy will not only lower the price of fuel at the pump, but will create much needed jobs here at home. I am looking forward to using my experience in public service to help make this a reality.”

New Mexico became a “Clean Energy State” under Governor Richardson’s leadership by requiring utilities to meet 20% of New Mexico’s electrical demand from renewable sources; and established a Renewable Energy Transmission Authority to deliver New Mexico’s renewable resources to market. Additionally, Richardson’s leadership helped the state progress in the areas of education, transportation and the environment.

“Until barriers to fuel competition are removed, Americans will suffer increasing economic hardship due to high oil prices. Creating competition in the fuel market will drive gasoline prices down, and this is Fuel Freedom Foundation’s ultimate goal,” said Eyal Aronoff, co-founder of Fuel Freedom Foundation. “I am more than pleased that Governor Richardson is joining our board of advisors and has dedicated a portion of his time to help us fight this battle and end the monopoly on oil.”

Please visit www.fuelfreedom.org to learn more about how you can join Fuel Freedom to get involved and help end America’s addiction to oil.

About Fuel FreedomThe Fuel Freedom Foundation is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to breaking our oil addiction by working to open the transportation fuels market so our cars and trucks can run on cheaper, cleaner, healthier American replacement fuels. Consumers could easily convert their cars to run on replacement fuels, but outdated regulations and entrenched commercial interests stand in the way. The Fuel Freedom campaign aims to remove barriers to competition so that natural gas, methanol, ethanol and electricity can compete on equal footing with gasoline at the pump and at the dealership. Achieving Fuel Freedom will lower fuel prices, create jobs, spur economic growth, reduce pollution, and improve national and global security. For more information visit us at www.fuelfreedom.org.

Waxman Urges Dems to Support Global Internet Freedom Bill

Freedom Comments Off

Apr 182013

By John Eggerton — Broadcasting & Cable, 4/17/2013 9:57:27 AM The House Energy and Commerce Committee Wednesday unanimously approved a bill establishing a multistakeholder model of global Internet governance as the official policy of the U.S.

That came after a phrase was dropped from the bill that had stood in the way of Democrat support.

In opening statements on the mark-up Wednesday on H.R. 1580, the bill “to affirm the policy of the United States regarding Internet governance,” Rep. Henry Waxman ((D-Calif.), ranking member of the committee, said that there remained some issues he hoped would be worked through in the process, but that the deletion of the “freedom from government control language” from Sec. 2, which is the actual legal statement of U.S. policy, was a major step, and he urged his colleagues to vote the bill out of full committee. It did.

Waxman had said last week when the Republican-backed bill was voted out of subcommittee that he could not support it, but did not object to that voice vote after he and ranking subcommittee member Anna Eshoo (D-Calif.) secured assurances that their concerns would be discussed in meetings before the full-committee mark-up. Waxman had been concerned that the language could provide a back-door route to excising network neutrality rules.

The bill now says: “It is the policy of the United States to preserve and advance the successful multistakeholder model that governs the Internet.”

Committee chairman Fred Upton, who did not have the same problem with that language, said in his opening statement that he had worked hard to address Waxman’s and others’ concerns and cited the “minor language changes” that he said still achieved “their shared objective,” which is preserving that multistakeholder model. He also said the bill was still essentially the same as the bipartisan resolution both House and Senate approved unanimously.

That resolution, which did not have the force of law, passed in both House and Senate in the run-up to the WCIT telecom treaty conference in Dubai, which the U.S. ultimately declined to sign after language was inserted relating to the Internet that the U.S. saw as opening the door to possible top-down Internet governance pushed by countries including China, Russia and some Arab states.

Waxman and other Democrats had been concerned that making “freedom from government control” part of the policy definition could jeopardize both the FCC’s ability to enforce its network neutrality rules and oversee the transition to IP delivery of video, voice and data.

Rep. Greg Walden (R-Ore.) chair of the Communications subcommittee, said both last week and at Wednesday’s hearing that he did not think the language created any statutorily mandated responsibilities and would have affected network neutrality rules or any others. But he said in a spirit of bipartisanship, the language had been dropped. But he added that he still opposed Internet neutrality rules, which he said regulated the Internet domestically.

“We appreciate the committee’s effort to clarify that this legislation is directed at international concerns such as current attempts by Internet restricting countries to impose inter-governmental control over the content on the Internet,” said the Computer and Communications Industry Association. “The legislation as now evolved should minimize any misuse of this policy statement here at home.”

Commissioner wants to change Second Amendment support from resolution to proclamation

Second Amendment Comments Off

Apr 162013

One commissioner sought Tuesday to change a proposed resolution calling for Sedgwick County to support the Second Amendment from a resolution to a proclamation.

We dont need to pass laws on top of laws, Commissioner Dave Unruh said during the weekly meeting with county staff.

Commissioner Richard Ranzau has placed a resolution on the commissions agenda for Wednesday that calls for the countys support of the Second Amendment.

A resolution is binding because its the countys form for creating law, Deputy County Counselor Jennifer Magana said. The Eagle previously reported that the resolution wouldnt be binding.

A proclamation, however, is not binding.

Its just a statement reflecting the intent, Magana said.

Ranzaus proposed resolution calls for the preservation of an individuals right to keep and bear arms and requires the county not to enforce any international, federal, state or local law that takes away that right.

My mind is in a wrestling match in seeing the need for this, Unruh said. As a commissioner I put my hand on the Bible and swore Id support the constitution of the United States and the constitution of the state of Kansas.

Id like to do a proclamation saying we strongly support the Second Amendment.

Ranzau cited an anti-gun climate in the nation that could lead to gun rights being taken away from individuals.

Would Elected Officials Really Oppose Internet Freedom?

Freedom Comments Off

Apr 122013

What elected official would stake out a position opposing a declaration of Internet freedom?

Several House Democrats, it turns out. This week, minority members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee raised objections to a Republican bill that would codify in law the United States’ opposition to government control of the Internet.

Democrats claim that giving a broad policy statement the force of law could disrupt domestic and international governance of the Internet, including the Federal Communications Commission’s controversial ‘Net Neutrality rules that are under review before a federal court.

The bill revives language included in resolutions that passed the House and Senate last year–unanimously–ahead of a United Nations conference expressing opposition to efforts by some countries to shift global Internet governance to the U.N.’s International Telecommunications Union and exert tighter controls over the flow of online content.

The concern at the time was that the World Conference on International Telecommunications held in December in Dubai could become a vehicle for countries like China, Russia and Iran to censor politically objectionable content and target dissidents.

But that resounding demonstration of bipartisanship dissolved this week amid GOP efforts to write that “sense of the Congress” statement into law.

“There are significant differences between resolutions and laws,” said California’s Henry Waxman, the ranking Democrat on the committee. “One of my concerns is that this policy statement is actually a backdoor attempt to undermine the FCC’s open Internet rules, and hamstring the commission’s ability to manage the IP transition.”

At the end of a pair of business meetings this week, the Energy and Commerce Committee’s communications and technology subcommittee approved the Internet freedom bill, sending it along to the full Energy and Commerce Committee.

Democrats acceded to reporting the measure by a voice vote after securing assurances from Republican leaders on the panel that they would work in good faith to address concerns about the scope of the bill.

“Nothing will be off the table. Nothing,” said subcommittee Chairman Greg Walden (R-Ore.).

Town Council approves Second Amendment resolution

Second Amendment Comments Off

Apr 102013

The Paradise Town Council voted 3-1 Tuesday night in support of a resolution to support the Second Amendment of the Constitution regarding people’s rights to keep and bear arms.

Vice Mayor Scott Lotter dissented saying that he didn’t want to get in the habit of voting on national and state issues that town officials have no control over.

“I’m a gun owner, I was out shooting with my buddy and our sons over the weekend and I support the Second Amendment,” he told the crowd.

He said he has taken his oath of office four times to be a town council member and he is concerned about belittling the rest of the United States Constitution in favor of one amendment.

“I’m willing to take a stand personally and say that I support the Second Amendment, but I don’t believe it is the place for the town council,” he said.

He noted that the amendment, adopted in December of 1791, has been controversial since day one. His comments came after several members of the public spoke on the topic, most in favor the resolution with a few opposed.

Fred Aldred said the Second Amendment is under attack and the proof is in the 48 gun legislation bills proposed in the California legislature, which include a bullet tax, a million dollar insurance policy for all gun owners, background checks and waiting periods to buy ammunition and even gun confiscation.

While democrats have been the party introducing such legislation, he said the issue should not be a “red or blue” issue, but an American

“The entire constitution is not under attack, yet” he said. “It would dilute the message that we stand united in defending the second amendment.”

He also noted that the resolution presented firmly states “uphold and defend the constitution.”
