	SafeSurf Internet Rating and Classification System
		The SafeSurf Rating Standard is a voluntary rating system designed to protect children, as well as the first amendment rights of their parents.
		An entire directory can be rated with one command in the index.html page of that directory by using the PICS "generic true for" option along with the name of the directory.
		When a site uses a rating level of 1 or 2 to identify an adult theme, it should be declaring that the presentation of that adult theme is done in the most subtle form possible, or implied more than blatantly presented.

		The common solution, `explicit ratings', where users tell the system what they think about a piece of information, is well-understood and fairly precise.
		Using `implicit ratings', a rating obtained by a method other than obtaining it directly from the user, has obvious advantages, including removing the cost of the user rating, and that every user interaction with the system can contribute to an implicit rating.
		Using the data collected by the browser, the individual implicit ratings and some combinations of implicit ratings were analyzed and compared with the explicit rating.

		This signifies that the film rated may contain some material parents would not wish to expose to their young children; material that will clearly need to be examined or inquired about before children are allowed to attend the film.
		Explicit sex scenes and scenes of drug use are absent; nudity, if present, is seen only briefly, horror and violence do not exceed moderate levels.
		This signifies that the rating board believes that most American parents would feel that the film is patently adult and that children age 17 and under should not be admitted to it.

	Should 'E' stand for explicit?
		In this "M" rated game, which was last year's top-selling console game, the main character seeks bloody vengeance on gang-filled streets, firing automatic weapons and picking up scantily clad women.
		Similar ratings for movies have been determined since 1968 by the Motion Picture Association of America under a system that is also voluntary.
		Ratings can sometimes be of little use to parents and gamers who are deciding on a purchase.

		The film was rated 18, viewable only by those aged 18 and over.

		Parenting is hard work, and the state has a compelling interest in helping parents raise their children to be upstanding men and women.
		The law narrowly defines "violent" and "sexually explicit" games to put retailers on sufficient notice about which games should and should not be sold to minors.
		Requiring that retailers post signs and make rating information available to parents on-site will assist parents in making informed decisions about the games their children play.

		A shared, explicit understanding of concepts, categories, and descriptors is the foundation for effective communication and knowledge sharing in organizations.
		Thus, both the problem of interrupting the user for ratings and the problem of somewhat artificially determining negative evidence are avoided.
		Implicit and explicit evidence can be thought of in a uni ed framework as observable behavior; explicit rating is merely one type of behavior [1].

	Podiobooker » Blog Archive » What makes a book Explicit?
		I have a five year old daughter, and I have made sure she is already well aware that there is some language that is not for polite or casual use, but she will hear it.
		However, there is a difference between a good sex scene and a down and dirty, explicit, over the top bit of porno — not that that’s not enjoyable from time to time as well.
		Personally, I wouldn’t rate something containing well-used swear words as “explicit” but it’s clear they can’t be considered family friendly as well.

	Inferring User Interest (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		A less intrusive method is to use implicit ratings, where a rating is obtained by a method other than obtaining it directly from the user.
		This research studies the relationship between various implicit ratings and the explicit rating for a single Web page, and the impact of implicit interest indicators on user privacy.
		We find that the time spent on a page, the amount of scrolling on a page and the combination of time and scrolling has a strong positive relationship with explicit interest, while individual scrolling methods and mouse-clicks are ineffective in predicting explicit interest.

		The best-selling Grand Theft Auto game has been given an adult only rating in the US after sexually explicit content was found in the game.
		Prior to the investigation the game had an M for mature rating that meant it could be sold to those aged 17 and over.
		Initially publisher Take Two said the explicit scenes were the result of modifications made to the game by Hot Coffee.

		Numerous studies have shown that such explicit feedback is clearly useful (e.g., Yan and Garcia-Molina, 1995; Goldberg et al., 1992).
		This probably results at least in part from the time and effort required to provide explicit feedback and from the additional cognitive load that may result from the need to decide on an explicit rating for each document.
		Their results indicated that recommendations based on reading time could be nearly as accurate as recommendations based on explicit feedback.

	Tony Blair - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Aided by the unpopularity of John Major's Conservative government, which had come to be regarded as economically incompetent and corrupt, and deeply divided over the European Union, "New Labour" won a landslide victory in the 1997 general election.
		This decision was popular with the British financial establishment in the City, which the Labour Party had been courting since the early 1990s.
		In May 2006, the Daily Telegraph reported that Blair's personal approval rating had dipped to just 26 per cent, lower than Harold Wilson's rating after devaluation of the pound and James Callaghan's during the Winter of Discontent, meaning that Blair had become the most unpopular post-war Labour Prime Minister.

	The Best Children's Computer Games: Educational Software
		In order to provide our readers with ratings for the products that we review, we put software, games, toys, and other products through a number of tests, not the least of which involves hands-on testing with real children and their parents.
		We strive to make some sense out of the seemingly endless choices parents face when looking for worthwhile products for their children, and attempt to consider the many factors involved that determine whether a product stands out as superior.
		Instead of explicit grammar lessons and translations, users absorb vocabulary and sentence structure in a manner that is natural and unforced.

	MediaGab Community :: View topic - Sex scenes force re-rating of best-selling game
		The video game industry on Wednesday changed to adults-only the rating of "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas," a best-selling title in which explicit sexual content can be unlocked with an Internet download.
		It would prohibit the sale of violent and sexually explicit video games to minors and put in place a $5,000 penalty for those who violate the law.
		In calling for the FTC to launch an investigation, Clinton urged the commission to determine whether an AO rating (adults only) is more appropriate than the current M rating (mature) for the video game given this new sexually explicit content.

	ComputerUser.com News: New Online Rating System Unveiled (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		An international not-for-profit group has unveiled a refurbished Internet rating system that aims to give parents the ability to individually tailor the type and level of explicit content available to their children.
		In the area of nudity, for instance, the self-rating questionnaire asks Web site operators to specify the types of nudity depicted on their sites (male genitals, female genitals, explicit sexual acts, etc.) and whether those depictions are presented in an artistic, educational or medical context.
		And while Kenny conceded that the voluntary nature of the ICRA system could open the door for "glitches" where Web site operators are not completely forthcoming about the content of their sites, she argued that it is in everyone's best interest to use the system in good faith.
