CDC Wants HIV victim's named
E.A. Barrera, Espresso Newspaper,
California is attempting to change the way HIV tests are reported. The Center for Disease Control has said they will only accept reports with the names of those testing positive for HIV listed. California currently uses an anonymous, code-based system that CDC says is flawed. If the state doesn't comply with CDC, it could lose millions of dollars in research grant funding.

Students Being Paid to Monitor Professors
Indymedia onCampus,
We received this via email today: As you may have already heard, Rob Watson, Rafael Perez-Torres and I are currently listed on the website of UCLAprofs.com, a venture of the Bruin Alumni Association, on whose board serve, among others, CA State Senator Bill Morrow (of San Diego, who introduced SB5, the so-called student bill of rights, into the CA Senate) and our erstwhile colleague Leila Beckwith. Rob and Rafael will have to check for themselves, of course, but my "dossier" at this organization includes utterly false, misleading, distorted as well as libelous claims (e.g., that I am a "vicious anti-Semite.").
The organization actively encourages UCLA students to spy on the currently blacklisted faculty, as well as on a separate list of "targeted faculty" which includes Arthur Little, Stephen Yenser and Jonathan Post. They offer, for example, cash for recordings of class lectures, lecture notes, etc. See below.
I'm writing to see if there's anything that can be done to protect
what remains of academic freedom at our university.

Invitation to a Network: Freedom of Movement / Libertad de Movimiento
Delete The Border,
PROPOSAL: FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT— A North American No Border Network
Through our work we have met some amazing sisters and brothers in struggle in Mexico, Canada, the United States and all across the world. We have begun to learn about each other and as a result, learn more about other groups and struggles emanating from what we believe to be similar and related causes...
We are therefore proposing the creation of a no border activist network between groups in Mexico, Canada and the U.S. We have taken only a few steps toward the realization of this network. This is obviously a huge and complex endeavor, so our goal is to place enough tangible information before you so that many aspects can be developed more collectively and organically...

PROPUESTA: LIBERTAD DE MOVIMIENTO – Una Red Norteamericana que dice No a las Fronteras
Por medio de nuestro trabajo hemos conocido algunas / os hermanas y hermanos en la lucha en México, Canadá, los Estados Unidos y por todo el mundo. Hemos comenzado a aprender acerca de uno y el otro y como resultado, aprendido mas acerca de otros grupos y luchas surgiendo de lo que nosotros creemos ser causas similares y relacionadas...
Entonces, proponemos la creación de una red activista en contra de las fronteras entre grupos en México, Canadá y los Estados Unidos. Hemos tomado solo algunos pocos pasos hacia la realización de esta red. Esto es obviamente un esfuerzo grandísimo y complejo. Entonces nuestra meta es presentar bastante información tangible para que muchos aspectos puedan ser desarrollados de manera más colectiva y orgánica...

Over 100 Students Stage Die-In for Darfur
lotu5 for indymedia oncampus,
UPDATE 1:39PM: Regents vote yes to create a committee to consider divestment
Over 100 UCSD and UCLA students staged a die-in today at the Price Center, a central area for campus traffic, to urge the UC Regents to divest from Darfur. The UC Regents are meeting at UCSD today to decide on whether or not to divest from Darfur. A race-based genocide is going on in Darfur, and over 400,000 have died as a result. As students and a TV crew looked on, the students held signs about divestment from Darfur and one person spoke about why they were holding the die-in. The regents meeting will be taking place today from 10:30am to 2pm at UCSD and students will be attending the meeting.

UC Divestment Sudan c/o indymedia oncampus,
Join UC Divestment Sudan at UCSD on Thursday morning for a march to the US regents meeting to demand that the UC divest from Sudan! Meet at 8:45AM and march at 9:00AM. Click "Read More" for a complete schedule of events.
"UC Senior Vice President of Business & Finance, Joe Mullinix, will present options for Sudan divestment to the UC Board of Regents on January 19, 2006, followed by a vote on those options by the Regents. This vote marks an historic response from the UC, who have only formally considered divestment twice in its history, and follows a growing nationwide movement of sucessful and ongoing divestment campaigns."
Support the UC in Stopping Genocide - In response to conflict with Darfurian rebel groups in February 2003, the Sudanese government, working with Arab militias called "janjaweed", began sponsoring wholesale ethnic cleansing of black Darfurians, almost all of whom had NO affiliation with the rebel groups.
- The Death Toll has reached up to 400,000 people since February 2003
- More than 2,500,000 people have been driven from their homes

106.9FM Given Notice of $10,000 Fine
sd indymedia,
106.9FM, a pirate radio station in San Diego dedicated to broadcasting the voices of the San Diego community, was recently given a Notice of Apparently Liability for a $10,000 fine. Do you care about freedom of speech, pirate radio and public access to the airwaves? If so, now is the time to show your support. Post a comment here or send them an email at info A[t] 1069fm d0t org . If you want to donate to help, you can do so at their website, http://1069fm.org .
The excessive fine represents a new intensified attack on free speech by the San Diego bureau of the FCC. It shows that they are willing to not only raid the homes and steal equipment from independent radio operators in San Diego, but they are willing to try to fine them for 10 times the cost of that equipment.
The FCC has said that there are no more frequencies available for radio licenses in San Diego. They are making a joke out of free speech in this city. Below is the full text of the notice as well as the contact info for members of city hall who may be interested in this attack on our city by federal agencies.

1st Amendment Trashed in Immigrant Crackdown
John Earl,
Costa Mesa Mayor Allan Mansoor believes that America is "a nation
of laws." That's why, he says, the city's police should be first in
the nation to directly help deport "illegal aliens." But conduct by
Monsoor at two recent Costa Mesa city council meetings–-revealed on
video logs from two separate sources–-raises questions about his
ability to correctly and impartially uphold the law, including basic
First Amendment rights.
