Holy cards are making a comeback
04:17 PM CDT on Friday, June 4, 2004
By JOE BOLLIG / Catholic News Service
KANSAS CITY, Kan. _ Sister Marcella Schrant is a card-carrying Catholic, and proud of it, too.
She got her first holy card in 1935. She got her latest a few weeks ago. The first one, a St. Anthony card
she received as a child, will share a binder with the newest one, a picture of Kansas City's new coadjutor
archbishop.
These two cards are part of a collection of more than 400 owned by Sister Marcella, who works at the St.
Lawrence Campus Center at the University of Kansas.

It's 11 a.m. -- do you know what your employees are doing?
News Story by Linda Rosencrance
MAY 31, 2004
(COMPUTERWORLD) - It's 11 a.m. --
do you know what your employees are
doing? Well, you do if you're like the
increasing number of employers that are
concerned about the security of their
computing environments as well as the
productivity of their employees.
In fact, nine out of 10 companies check
up on their employees' online activities
while they're at work, according to a
recent survey of nearly 200 businesses
conducted by the Center for Business
Ethics at Bentley College in Waltham,
Mass. That's because more and more
liability risks and security threats are
originating from inside organizations
rather than outside.

Colleges seek gold in alumni data
Facts on graduates' lives perused to boost chances of donations.
By Christina Gostomski
Of The Morning Call
They aren't spies or private investigators. They don't work for the FBI or CIA.
But if you're a college graduate, there's a good chance they have a file on you.
Typically, they know how much you earn, what your house is worth and how
much you give to charity.
Who are these people, and what are they doing with statistics on your lifestyle?
They're college researchers, and their goal is to find out how much money you
have to give your alma mater and what might persuade you to fork it over.

Search business turns serious
By Mark Ward
BBC News Online technology correspondent
For some people, particularly in business, Google and other net search engines
are just not good enough.
Although the web has given the person in
the street access to more information than
ever before and Google has made it easy to
search through that vast pile to find what
you want, typically business users need
even more.
So argues Clare Hart, boss of search firm
Factiva which was formed in 1999 from
Dow Jones Interactive and Reuters Business
Briefing.

MIKE WENDLAND: Personal info is
better shred than read
June 8, 2004
BY MIKE WENDLAND
FREE PRESS COLUMNIST
Remember all that talk about the paperless society? Ha!
In my home, it's clear that the information age has overwhelmed the paperless
society. I have three computers and two printers, and I get way too much
snailmail.
It just keeps piling up -- e-mail printouts, bank and credit card statements, bills
and all those other documents I know should be better disposed of than tossing
them in the trash can.
Add to that all the data I now keep on CD-ROMs, and I realize that I need waste
management help.

Something Wiki This Way Comes
They're Web sites anyone can edit -- and they could
transform Corporate America
When software developer Nicholas Pisarro Jr. saw
his first wiki late last year, he knew it was unlike
any Web site he had ever seen. On the site, a free
online encyclopedia called Wikipedia, thousands of
volunteers had written a breathtaking 500,000
articles in 50 languages since 2001 -- all thanks to
the defining feature of wikis. To contribute, all they
had to do to was click on an "edit this page" button
and start typing.

Archives of Saddam rule were destroyed
at Iraqi National Library as Baghdad fell
By Carl Hartman, Associated Press, 6/8/2004 01:42
ADVERTISEMENT WASHINGTON (AP) Fires at the Iraq National Library set as U.S. forces took over
Baghdad did not destroy large numbers of rare books and ancient manuscripts as initially
feared, U.S. investigators say.
Instead, the fires apparently were aimed at destroying sensitive records about Saddam Hussein's
government, said Mary-Jane Deeb, a specialist on the Arab world at the Library of Congress.
Deeb, who headed a three-person team sent to Iraq to check on the library's contents, said it's unclear
what information the documents contained.

Sydney Morning Herald
The chart that put Australia on the map
June 9, 2004
Matthew Flinders is finally winning acclaim for a 200-year-old labour of love that named a nation, writes
Steve Meacham.
At 11.30am today in the Parkes Room of Parliament House, the Governor of NSW, Professor Marie
Bashir, will present a chart to the president of the Legislative Council, Dr Meredith Burgmann. The chart
is singularly plain: a simple, if meticulous, pen and ink rendition of the continent we call home.
Yet behind today's ceremony lies a fascinating tale of two men, separated by two centuries. The first is
Matthew Flinders, the explorer and map-maker who died in 1814, aged just 40. The second is Bill
Fairbanks, 66, a company secretary from Wahroonga. What the two share is obsession. Flinders - born
in Lincolnshire on March 16, 1774 - was obsessed with becoming the first man to circumnavigate the
continent (a mission he achieved on June 9, 1803 when his ship, Investigator, limped back into Sydney
harbour).
