	Freedom of the press information - Search.com
		Freedom of the press (or press freedom) is the guarantee by a government of free public press for its citizens and their associations, extended to members of news gathering organizations, and their published reporting.
		On the ideological level, the first advocates of freedom of the press were the liberal thinkers of the 18th and 19th centuries.They developed their ideas in opposition to the monarchist tradition in general and the divine right of kings in particular.
		The notion of "freedom of the press" that later was enshrined in the United States Constitution is generally traced to the seditious libel prosecution of John Peter Zenger by the colonial governor of New York in 1735.

		Individuals have economic freedom when (a) property they acquire without the use of force, fraud, or theft is protected from physical invasions by others and (b) they are free to use, exchange, or give their property to another as long as their actions do not violate the identical rights of others.
		Freedom of exchange and the autonomy of the individual are also integral elements of economic freedom.
		The freedom of individuals to use their own property and engage in voluntary exchange can be substantially reduced by regulations that limit the scope of business activity and the use of privately-owned property.

		In nations in the top fifth of economic freedom, the average income of the poorest 10 percent of the population was $6,877 compared to just $823 in the least free nations.
		The first Economic Freedom of the World Report published in 1996, was the result of a decade of research by a team, which included several Nobel Laureates and over 60 other leading scholars, in a broad range of fields, from economics to political science and from law to philosophy.
		Economic freedom is also positively correlated with low poverty rates, superior health outcomes, literacy, good nutrition, low levels of child labour, civil and political freedoms, superior rankings on the United Nations Human Development Index, and low levels of corruption along with other positive results.

	FREEDOM PREDICTS HUMAN SECURITY
		Note that the freedom and political liberties ratings themselves have a small positive correlation with this dimension, indicating that it is measuring a positive change to greater freedom.
		I now want to test the argument of this book that the freedom of people to pursue their own desires and hold the government responsible for its actions creates a spontaneous social field within which humans are most secure--violence is minimal, and human and economic development are best achieved.
		The partial correlation of logged violence with freedom holding human development constant is -.57; for human development holding freedom constant it is -.39, a difference between 32 and 15 percent of the variance in violence.

		The declaration was the first international legal effort to limit the behavior of states and press upon them duties to their citizens following the model of the rights-duty duality.
		For example, right to life and security of person; freedom from slavery; equality before the law and due process under the rule of law; freedom of movement; freedoms of speech, religion, assembly; the right to bear arms.
		Some people believe human rights abuses are more common in dictatorships or theocracies than in democracies because freedom of speech and freedom of the press tend to uncover state orchestrated abuse and expose it.

	[A-List] RE: Rising interest rates are a good thing
		It is obvious that "free" markets are inherently self-destructive of their own freedom.
		The regional crises, each with unique local characteristics, are merely early symptoms of a ticking global time bomb constructed out of the complex calculus of inter-linked financial markets in which countless individual credit risks are legally masked as sound transactions through sophisticated hedging.
		Derivatives, financial instruments which derive their value from other underlying financial instruments or benchmarks such as stock indices or exchange rates, are the cards in the fragile house of cards built by a financial specialty known as "structured finance".

		The comparison is made by forming the ratio of the spread between the process specifications (the specification "width") to the spread of the process values, as measured by 6 process standard deviation units (the process "width").
		Another point to observe is that variations are not negligible due to the randomness of capability indices.
		The indices that we considered thus far are based on normality of the process distribution.

	Structural Equation Modeling using AMOS: An Introduction
		Its value is 76.102 with 6 degrees of freedom, returning a probability value of less than.001 that a chi-square value this large or larger would be obtained by chance if the null hypothesis that the model fits the data is true.
		Notice that degrees of freedom of the chi-square test is reduced from six degrees of freedom to four degrees of freedom.
		The two degrees of freedom change occurs because each parameter estimated by the model consumes one degree of freedom; since you included two new parameters in the modified model (the two residual correlations), the new model has two fewer degrees of freedom remaining.

	Export Control: Sensitive Subjects List
		The Sensitive Subjects List (SSL) is a compilation of technical subject matter or technologies that is intended to aid the Department of Energy (DOE)-complex in identifying "sensitive" information.
		The list identifies subjects related to the development and production of weapons of mass destruction (nuclear, chemical, and biological) and their delivery systems (including missiles), conventional weapons, and other technologies deemed significant to the national security of the United States.
		Thus, cooperative industrial research that is not sensitive under Parts I–V of this list will only be considered sensitive if, in the opinion of a DOE industrial partner, it is business sensitive and a significant industrial espionage target.

		Unless otherwise deniable, disclosure shall not be construed to constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy when identifying details are deleted, when the person to whom a record pertains consents in writing to disclosure, or when upon presenting reasonable proof of identity, a person seeks access to records pertaining to him or her.
		As noted earlier, each agency must maintain a "subject matter list." The list is not a compilation of every record an agency has in its possession, but rather is a list of the subjects or file categories under which records are kept.
		Although the courts are not subject to the Freedom of Information Law, section 255 of the Judiciary Law has long required the clerk of a court to "diligently search the files, papers, records and dockets in his office" and upon payment of a fee make copies of such items.

	Degrees of Freedom
		Thus the degrees of freedom to determine the mean for 100 samples is n-1 or 99.
		For example, the degrees of freedom to estimate variability from one observation would be zero, i.e., it is impossible to estimate variability.
		Degrees of freedom of n - 1 is required when taking a sample from a population because when taking the limited size sample, you have only a very slight chance of picking the extreme data values of the population.

	Economic Freedom Criteria And Iraq’s Economic Policies
		First, in highly developed countries, the reverse process of the assumed causal relationship between economic freedom and economic growth, ie the state of shrinking economies or recession phase of a business cycle, can not be explained only by the government failure to maintain economic freedom practices.
		Therefore, any future attempt to use EFI or apply the definition of an economic freedom concept as a guide to assess the prospect for economic progress and policy relevance should take into account Iraq’s state of economic, social and environmental conditions and the role of the prevailing strategic elements; oil, development and democracy.
		It is interesting to notice that Freedom House has classified freedom rating of Iraq in 2004 as a non-free country.

	Newswatch India » Are indices of press freedom useful?
		The new “worldwide press freedom index,” published this month by the French-based organization Reporters Without Borders (RSF), suggests that the most restrictive countries in terms of press freedom are North Korea, Eritrea, Turkmenistan, Iran and Burma; while the most enlightened are Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Ireland, Netherlands, Norway and Switzerland.
		RSF says it has 50 criteria for assessing press freedom, ranging from whether journalists are murdered, imprisoned or prosecuted as a result of their craft to whether they are censored or harassed, either by states or pressure groups that are allowed to intimidate the media.
		The survey suggests that many countries that have recently recovered their independence or become independent are swift to establish press freedom, with Slovenia (9th), Estonia (11th), Latvia (16th) and Lithuania (21st) high on the list.
