Click for a great poetry resouce!

I came across an excellent site today, it’s totally dedicated to poetry, and educating people on how to write it. Most sites with poetry being the theme are old, badly designed, badly organized, and don’t even have good information. This site was a blast of fresh air. It has an extremely accessible navigation, and well organized, and informative information on…. Learning Poetry! But it doesn’t stop there, rather than leaving it at articles on learning some of the forms (IE. Haiku) it teaches readers to use various writing techniques, as the site calls them “Elements of poetry”. I highly advise you to check it out, if your into poetry, or just want to see exactly how well organized the content is, go ahead and visit!

Courts Block Laws on Game Violence

As video games have surged in popularity in recent years, politicians around the country have tried to outlaw the sale of some violent games to children. So far all such efforts have failed.

Citing the Constitution’s protection of free speech, federal judges have rejected attempts to regulate video games in eight cities and states since 2001. The judge in a ninth place, Oklahoma, has temporarily blocked a law pending a final decision. No such laws have been upheld.

The latest state to have its tentative game regulations stymied by a judge’s interpretation of the First Amendment is California. This month a federal judge in San Jose, Ronald M. Whyte, declared unconstitutional a 2005 bill that would have made it a crime to sell or rent certain violent games to minors in that state.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger of California has said he plans to appeal the ruling, but he is merely the latest in a line of politicians whose attempts to regulate video games have been frustrated by federal courts. “It’s more than a trend,” said Ronald Collins, a scholar at the First Amendment Center in Washington. “It seems the cases are moving uniformly down the same track, and that is that such laws are unconstitutional. Such uniformity in declaring a category of laws unconstitutional is very rare.”

New York will probably be the next state to try its chances in court. Gov. Eliot Spitzer has declared regulating children’s access to video games a priority. The State Assembly passed a game-regulation bill in June, and the Senate could take up the measure when the Legislature reconvenes as soon as next month.

The New York bill has been phrased in an attempt to pass constitutional muster, but it will almost surely be challenged by the same game-industry legal team that has successfully opposed game regulations around the country.

“Video games are a new medium, and while people are used to scary stuff in the movies, they aren’t as used to having scary stuff in interactive media, so there is political value in passing these laws even if they are ultimately rejected by the courts,” said Paul M. Smith, a partner in the Jenner & Block law firm, which represents the game industry. “I think it’s fair to say that a lot of people who passed these laws knew they were unconstitutional, and they did it anyway.”

Put simply, the United States Supreme Court has interpreted the Constitution as allowing states broad leeway in regulating minors’ access to sexually explicit material. That is why it is illegal around the country to sell pornography to children. Courts have not, however, said that states have a similar right to regulate media based on violence. Most of the city and state video game laws that have been struck down in recent years have tried to ban the sale or rental of certain violent games to minors. In many of those cases, states and cities have tried to translate the legal rules for pornography into a new system for regulating violent media.

“One of our major arguments was that when it comes to minors, violence should be treated similarly to sexually explicit material,” said Zackery P. Morazzini, the California deputy attorney general who argued the recent case for the state. “We allow states to protect children from sexually explicit material, so to us it is a logical extension to take that lesser obscenity standard and apply that in the context of violent media.”

The United States Supreme Court has not taken up the matter, but judges appear to have taken a dim view of that approach.

The opinion in the first major video game case was written in 2001 by Judge Richard A. Posner of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. In blocking an Indianapolis ordinance that would have regulated public game arcades, he wrote that exposure to imaginary violence — whether in “The Odyssey,” “War and Peace” or Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 — can play an important role in the development of a child’s moral, social and political outlook.

“Violence has always been and remains a central interest of humankind and a recurrent, even obsessive theme of culture both high and low,” he wrote. “It engages the interest of children from an early age, as anyone familiar with the classic fairy tales collected by Grimm, Andersen, and Perrault are aware. To shield children right up to the age of 18 from exposure to violent descriptions and images would not only be quixotic, but deforming; it would leave them unequipped to cope with the world as we know it.”

Judge Posner is not known as a First Amendment liberal. He wrote an opinion in 2003 that has been credited (or blamed) with beginning the erosion in the reporter’s privilege that many news organizations have cited in refusing to turn over reporters’ notes to government agencies.

The federal judiciary is hardly monolithic, but as courts around the country have considered video game regulations in places including St. Louis County, Mo.; Washington; Illinois; Michigan; Minnesota; Louisiana; and now California, they have generally followed Judge Posner’s basic arguments.

Many politicians, however, see regulating games not as a First Amendment matter but as a public health and safety issue.

“We prohibit children from smoking,” said Adam Keigwin, a spokesman for State Senator Leland Yee, Democrat of San Francisco, who helped draft the California law. “We regulate driver’s licenses. We prohibit alcohol. We prohibit lots of things from children, and we think it’s logical that kids should not be able to purchase these games on their own.”

Considering the track records of other states that have tried to defend their game restrictions, New York, with Governor Spitzer’s prodding, is taking a novel approach. Under the bill passed in June by the Assembly, it would become a felony in New York to sell or rent to a child any game that includes both pornographic images and egregious violence. Games that are violent but nonsexual would not be regulated.

“If the governor were to be honest, he would have to say that this provision does not change anything in terms of the current state of the law and does nothing to address video game violence,” said State Sen. Andrew J. Lanza, Republican of Staten Island, one of the bill’s sponsors and a proponent of a separate measure to make ratings on video games mandatory. “They want to be able to say they did something about video game violence, and I think it’s a little disinengenuous to say you did something that you didn’t do.”

Christine Anderson, a spokeswoman for Governor Spitzer, said he was confident that New York’s proposed bill could hold up in court.

“Protecting children from violent and indecent video games is one of the governor’s priorities,” she said. “He proposed legislation this session to do just that, which differs from other legislation enacted or proposed in other states. This legislation would give a new tool to district attorneys to use that expressly applies to video games.”

Most teen hackers more curious than criminal

SAN FRANCISCO — A large minority of teenagers commit computer crimes such as hacking and software piracy, but it’s done mostly out of curiosity and a hunger for excitement rather than wanting to cause trouble, a psychologist reported over the weekend.

“Parents are not savvy enough yet” to realize what’s going on, said psychologist Shirley McGuire of the University of San Francisco. “They are becoming more savvy, but they’re not doing it fast enough.”

She reported on an anonymous survey of about 4,800 San Diego area high school students at the American Psychological Association conference. Among findings:

•38% said they copied software without permission.

•18% went into someone’s computer or website without permission, and 16% took material.
FIND MORE STORIES IN: American Psychological Association

•13% changed a computer system, file program or website without permission.

Boys were far more likely than girls to hack and illegally copy software. But only about one in 10 teens said they did it to cause trouble or make money. Many more cited learning about computers or because “it is exciting and challenging” as their main motives.

Still, these actions are illegal and nothing to shrug off, says Nancy Willard, director of the Center for Safe and Responsible Internet Use in Eugene, Ore. Innocent, techie children can stumble into “online support communities” that function like cyber gangs, she says. “They hack together, and they one-up each other.”

Teen hackers “invade privacy just to see if they can do it,” Willard says. “They cause a lot of financial loss for companies and school districts.” She says schools should do much more to channel techno-gifted teens into positive paths. For example, they can be paired with mentors in the industry or linked to community colleges that offer mind-expanding but legal computer activities.

Not everyone says the problem is that serious. “In the vast majority of instances, it’s not a crime because it’s not done with criminal intent,” says Steve Jones, a communications researcher who specializes in new media at the University of Illinois in Chicago. “Parents need to educate teens about copyrights and what’s dangerous to do online, and then they need to show some trust for their kids.

“This is rather typical adolescent behavior that has now transferred itself to the online realm.”

Kids to get health checks before starting school

Children will undergo health checks before they start school, to determine whether they are showing any behavioural concerns.

The Government has announced the B4 School programme will be piloted in Wanganui and South Auckland before being rolled out nationwide next year.

The scheme will allow parents to provide consent for their four-year-olds to undergo a test, in an effort to show any health or social issues which could hamper their child’s ability to learn.

Health Minister Pete Hodgson said the pilot involving Counties Manukau and Whanganui District Health Boards would see up to 1000 four-year-olds checked out under the B4 School programme.

The Government - which promised the programme during the election campaign - aims to roll it out nationwide from February next year.

Checks would aim to identify health, behavioural, social, or developmental concerns which could affect a child’s ability to learn, such as hearing problems.

“Finding problems early will help a whole new generation of learners, and better support them as they adjust to their new life as school pupils,” Mr Hodgson said.

“If any concerns are identified action can be taken early - for example, it might mean referring the child to an appropriate service such as a family doctor, hearing specialist, child development service or specialist education service.”

The B4 school checks will be funded with $23.6 million over four years.

NZEI national president Irene Cooper said identifying problems early was good but the move needed to be backed up with support for children with problems.

“The problem is not necessarily in diagnosing and recording problems - such as respiratory conditions, or speech language delay - but in accessing services or solutions,” she said.

“Early childhood teachers report long delays for referral for early intervention services.”

She said early childhood teachers also see the problems associated with poverty, such as cold, damp and overcrowded housing and their effects on health and well-being.
