| Welcome to our new server |
ypsl.org is now running happily on its new server -- thanks to BinaryFreedom.info for hosting!
There were some issues with DNS configuration that prevented some computers from finding the new server for a week or two during August, but those should now all be resolved. |

| New Forum Section |
There is a new forum available now for members of the National Executive Committee. Members of the committee will have access to post new threads and reply to old ones, while everyone else will be able to view the forum but not post or start new threads. This is done to minimize the noise ratio while still making NEC activity visible and open to everyone.

| Free Paris! And everybody else. |
[From my political philosophy professor's blog]
Paris Hilton is out of jail after serving three (but technically five?) days of her 23 (or is it 40?) day sentence. Released for medical reasons–most likely caused by her refusal to eat or a nervous breakdown–Hilton will spend the next 40 days under house arrest. Rather than discuss the double standard that allows her to escape the incarceration while over two million other people do hard time, I want to argue that Hilton should be out. She shouldn’t be kept in a cage, and neither should anyone else. Our demand that she sit in that cell “like the rest of us,” and our collective sniggering at her “just desserts,” says much more about our acceptance of the logic of prison and our notions of who belongs inside and who out than about any resistance to celebrity culture or demand for equal justice.

| Hacked Again |
| Some of you may have noticed the forums not working correctly yesterday. It appears someone tried to upload a file as an image that actually contained code that would have given them access to the server itself. Unfortunately for their stupid asses, they would have only had the permissions of the web server, which I'm sure Steve has restricted as much as possible. In any case the image has been deleted and a patch applied that will scan all avatar uploads for this sort of thing from now on. |

| Fire Wolfowitz |
 The likely ouster of Paul Wolfowitz as World Bank president in the face of bitter European opposition poses an unprecedented challenge to the United States' global financial leadership.
Weakened by chaos in Iraq, low popularity and his lame-duck status, President George W. Bush appears unable to prevent Wolfowitz's departure -- the first ever of a World Bank president -- after weeks of resistance and public acrimony over his promotion of a companion.

| The Digital Divide and YPSL |
 The National Executive Committee of the Young People's Socialist League thanks Josh Benson for designing our website, which is an excellent recruitment and outreach tool for the League. One of its most powerful features is the discussion forums which creates a space for yipsels and friends to share ideas and information that did not exist before. Over the past year however, the composition of those participating on our discussion boards has made clear to us the pervasiveness of the Digital Divide. |
