Lee Changho defends the Wangwi title
Lee Changho defeated my favorite Lee Sedol in the fifth and final game of the Korean Wangwi tournament. Lee Sedol was able to hang on for 182 moves before resigning. This is Lee Changho's ninth consecutive Wangwi title.

Librarians to the Rescue
The American Library Association plans to distribute more balanced material to American schools through school libraries with the goal of balancing the one sided material being distributed by the BSA, MPAA, and RIAA. I was pleased to hear this announcement and am hopeful that other national library organizations will follow suit in their own jurisdictions - students should not be exposed to a single perspective on this or any issue. To quote Tony Samek, of the University of Alberta's School of Library and Information Studies, "The largest current threat to intellectual freedom in Alberta is the dwindling numbers of Teacher-Librarians employed in the province."
