Saturday, April 9, 2011 – Daily News – 5B US warns of gov’ts trying to control the Internet WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration warned Friday that governments around the world are extending their repression to the Internet, seeking to cut off their citizens’ access to websites and other means of communication to stave off the types of revolutions that have wracked the Middle East. The State Department’s annual human rights report paints a worrying picture of countries “spending more time, money and attention in efforts to curtail access to these new communications outlets.” More than 40 governments are now blocking their citi- zens’ access to the Internet, and the firewalls, regulatory restrictions and technologies are all “designed to repress speech and infringe on the personal privacy of those who use these rapidly evolving tech- nologies.” Presenting the mammoth, 7,000-page report, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said curtailing Internet freedom meant violating the fundamental rights of expression, assembly and asso- ciation. “Democracy and human rights activists and independent blog- gers found their emails hacked or their computers infected with spyware that reported back on their every keystroke,” Clinton said. “Digital activists have been tortured so they would reveal their passwords and implicate their colleagues.” Clinton singled out Myanmar and Cuba for government policies that seek to preempt any online dissent by keeping almost their entire populations off the Internet. But they are far from alone. The report criticizes Saudi Arabia, a vital U.S. ally but one opposing the Obama administration’s push for democratic reforms in the Arab world, for spying on e-mail and chat rooms, and block- ing sites about religions such as Hinduism, Judaism and Christian- ity. The conservative Sunni kingdom also prevented people from reaching webpages about forms of Islam deemed incompatible with Sharia law and national regulations, according to the report. During its election, the Sudanese government blocked access to a website monitoring votes. Vietnamese authorities orchestrated attacks against important sites and spied on dissident bloggers, arresting 25 last year and forcibly entering the homes of others to confiscate computers and cell phones. And the Chinese government, among the world’s most sensitive to any sign of dissent, tightly controlled content on the Internet and detained people for expressing critical views of the government or its policies. Clinton noted that the report is being released during a wave of unrest across the Arab world. She said the U.S. has been “inspired by the courage and determination of the activists in the Middle East and North Africa and in other repressive societies, who have demanded peaceful democratic change and respect for their uni- versal human rights.” In Egypt and Tunisia, activists aided by Twitter and similar web- sites were able to mobilize massive demonstrations that brought down their long-time leaders. The Internet and mobile phone tech- nologies have helped give voice to similar protest movements in Syria, Yemen, Bahrain and elsewhere. And violence continues in Libya, where strongman Moammar Gadhafi is refusing to heed the call of many nations to leave power. The unrest has led many governments to reassess how open they want to be, fearful of seeing their authority challenged by individ- uals determined to gain a greater say in governance. Michael Posner, U.S. assistant secretary of state for human rights, said the Obama administration is spending a lot of time try- ing to figure out what governments around the world are doing to control the Internet. He said two main methods are being employed. “Some governments — the Chinese would be an example, the Iranians — put up a firewall,” Posner told reporters. But, “most governments aren’t going to shut down the Internet. They are simply going to go after the people who use it that are dis- senters. So they hack into their computers, they take their cell phones when they are arrested and they grab the list of names that are in their address book. They use every technical capaci- ty they have to invade privacy, to monitor what these dissenters are doing.” To aid people seeking to speak out, the U.S. government is help- ing to finance circumvention technologies to avoid firewalls, he said. To deal with governments hacking computers or intimidating dissenters, the U.S. government has trained 5,000 people from around the world on how to leave less of a trace on the Internet. “It’s one of the most innovative things we’re doing,” Posner said. “In a lot of cases, people who are using the Internet in these soci- eties aren’t sufficiently mindful either of what their possibilities are technically to protect themselves, or what the risks are.” Clinton highlighted a couple of other worrying trends in human rights around the world. She said there has been a “widespread crackdown” on civil soci- ety activists, whose work is vital so that governments understand the needs of their people. Venezuela’s government has intimidated such groups through the courts and new restrictions on independent media. And in Russia, there have been violent crackdowns on cam- paigners and numerous attacks and murders of journalists and activists, she said.

CA0004821) AND TIME SCHEDULE ORDER FOR PACTIV CORPORATION MOLDED PULP MILL TEHAMA COUNTY Pactiv Corporation (Discharger) owns and operates the Molded Pulp Mill, located at 1000 Dia- mond Avenue, Red Bluff, Tehama County. The Discharger may be contacted by mail at dl ff P.O. Box 1500, Red Bluff, CA 96080. The treatment system at the facility utilizes primary clari- fication, aeration, coagulation, and final clarification. Three set- tling ponds (i.e., Ponds 1 through 3) provide primary clari- fication, only one of which is uti- lized at any given time on a ro- tating basis. Process wastewa- ter is fed to a settling pond until it reaches its solids holding ca- pacity, at which time it is then rotated out of service. A fourth pond (Pond 4) is held in reserve for emergency backup. Waste- water from the settling ponds flows by gravity to an aeration stabilization pond. Coagulant is added to effluent from the aera- tion pond prior to being pumped to the final clarifier. Effluent from the final clarifier is com- bined with untreated non- contact cooling and sealing wa- ter and then discharged to the Sacramento River. yy The Discharger plans to discon- tinue use of Ponds 1 through 3 and modify Pond 4 for wastewa- ter treatment during this permit term. Modification of Pond 4 will entail dividing it into three ponds-two of which will be used as settling ponds and one which will be repurposed as an aera- tion pond. The Discharger will not be able to immediately comply with the revised tentative NPDES permit; therefore a Time Schedule Order has been proposed for copper and zinc. The Discharger is ex- pected to be able to immediate- ly comply with the revised ten- tative NPDES permit for all other constituents, except for those included in the Time Schedule Order, if adopted. A public hearing concerning this matter will be held during the Central Valley Water Board meeting that is scheduled for: DATE: TIME: PLACE: Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board 11020 Sun Center Drive #200 Rancho Cordova, CA 8,9,10 June 2011 8:30 a.m. The designated parties for this hearing are as follows: *Staff of the Central Valley Wa- ter Board *Staff of the Pactiv Corporation Designated parties but not inter- ested persons will have these rights: to call and examine wit- nesses; to cross-examine op- posing witnesses; to impeach any witness; and to rebut the evidence against him or her.
