The system, called CAPPS II, would require passengers to give extra information, such as date of birth and home phone number, when making a reservation. A computer would then verify that information against mammoth consumer databases. Passengers would also have their names checked against watch lists of wanted criminals and suspected terrorists.

182. ProfileViewer Reads profiling information output by Sun's heap profiler (invokable by a commandline option of the java interpreter) and displays it for easy interpretation. Open Source, GPL http://www.ulfdittmer.com/old/profileviewer/index.html

ProfileViewer by Greg White and Ulf Dittmer This Java application reads profiling information produced by the Java interpreter and various flavours of the gprof tool and displays it for easy interpretation. ProfileViewer was originally written by Greg White. Now that he no longer maintains it, he has released the source under the GNU General Public License. This page describes the changes that have been made since then; please do not contact Greg about this version. If you have ideas or suggestions for improvements to ProfileViewer, please let me know. I am planning to fix any bugs and possibly add some new features in the future. You can reach me at udittmer (at) yahoo.com Requirements: Java 1.1, Swing 1.1 (the version that has javax.swing.* class names), Sun's Collections package for JDK 1.1 (the com.sun.java.util.collections.* classes), and the GNU regexp package. Both the Collections and the regexp package are bundled with the distribution. Java 2: PV works fine with the profiling output generated by JDK1.3 on Windows, if you use the "-prof" option (instead of the "-Xrunhprof" option, which generates Java 2 profiling output.) For JDK 1.2 you need to use either the "-Xrunhprof:cpu=old" or the "-classic -prof" switch, neither of which worked without hiccups for me, but your mileage may vary.

Time.com People Fortune EW dictionary Hearing set to review possible racial profiling against Wen Ho Lee ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico (AP) The judge who apologized to former government scientist Wen Ho Lee at his sentencing has scheduled a hearing on whether to unseal documents to check if Lee was prosecuted because of his race. Asian-American groups want to examine the sealed government documents for evidence of ethnic profiling in the Lee case. On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge James Parker scheduled the hearing for October 2. "We have always been under the impression that Judge Parker takes this case very seriously and took very seriously the allegation of selective prosecution," said Diane Chin, executive director of Chinese for Affirmative Action. The San Francisco-based civil rights group filed a petition to unseal on June 6. It contends the documents may reveal that profiling was used in deciding to prosecute the Taiwanese-born Lee, a naturalized U.S. citizen and former Los Alamos scientist. The Asian Law Caucus and American Civil Liberties Union supported the motion. Lee was indicted in 1999 on 59 felony counts for transferring nuclear weapons information to portable computer tapes, charges stemming from an investigation into possible Chinese espionage. Lee was not charged with spying and denied giving information to China.

Search Is Racial Profiling Real? main page Transcript for: Is Racial Profiling Real? MR. WATTENBERG: Hello, I’m Ben Wattenberg. From California to Cincinnati to New Jersey, police departments are being confronted with the incendiary charge of racial profiling. But just what is racial profiling? How widespread is it? And does the crusade to abolish it, threaten to undermine law enforcement? To find out, Think Tank is joined by: Heather MacDonald, fellow at The Manhattan Institute and author of The Burden of Bad Ideas: How Modern Intellectuals Mishape Our Society. Paul Butler, professor of law at George Washington University and former prosecutor for the U.S. Department of Justice and David Cole, professor of law at Georgetown University Law Center and author of No Equal Justice: Race and Class in the American Criminal Justice System. The topic before the house: Is racial profiling real? This week on Think Tank. Reverend Al Sharpton is against it. President George W. Bush is against it. Racial profiling has become a nasty buzz phrase and politicians are scrambling to be seen on the right side of the issue. What everyone exactly means by racial profiling, however, is another matter. Critics of profiling say that cops commonly stop motorists and pedestrians simply because they are black. The practice is illegal they argue, but what’s more, it doesn’t work. They point to studies in New York City and Maryland, showing that police searches were more likely to turn up criminal activity among whites than among blacks. Think Tank panelist Heather MacDonald challenges those assertions. In a recent article in the City Journal, entitled, “The Myth of Racial Profiling,” she writes, “The anti-racial profiling juggernaut must be stopped before it obliterates the crime-fighting gains of the last decade, especially in inner cities.

According to the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC), passengers who appear to be Muslim or Middle Eastern have been removed from planes on several occasions. The atmosphere hearkens back to the pre-civil rights era, said Joshua Salaam, civil rights coordinator for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, which has received more than two dozen reports of airline-related racial profiling, mostly targeting males. Vahid Zohrehvandi, a Dallas software developer on his way home from Seattle, said he was reading his paper aboard an American Airlines plane when an airline employee approached him with a passenger manifest and told him to grab his belongings and get off the plane.

The Inventors: Bell Berners-Lee Cerf Estridge ... Missing In Action INSPIRATION "Recalc" was the driving force behind the world's first PC spreadsheet, says Daniel Bricklin, who co-created VisiCalc along with Bob Frankston after attending MIT and Harvard, with a stint programming word processors at Digital Equipment Corp. in between. Advertisers Business schools extolled the virtues of constant what-if calculations, says Bricklin, but on mainframes, that meant sending off one set of numbers, waiting for its return, then preparing and sending off another set. Not exactly interactive, yet from his exposure to lightning fast games and flight simulators on the big machines, Bricklin knew the powers of interactivity first hand.

"In hindsight, when you realize how long it takes for even the best of things to percolate through the ranks, VisiCalc was quite fast," says Bricklin. Some people instantly understood the potential of what the tool could bring to a world an-chored by green-checked ledger sheets. "I went to demo it in front of the IBM executive committee, and Don Estridge got it right away," he says (for more on Don Estridge, see " The Father of the PC Revolution "). "Apple, of course, benefited from it, as did a lot of other manufacturers who put it on their machines."
