London, September 29 (ANI): The great explorer Christopher Columbus was from Ibiza, politicians on the Spanish party isle have claimed.

The bizarre theory, which the politicians admit they cannot categorically prove, is based largely on the fact that the fabled 15th century explorer had the same handwriting as Ibizans of the time.

Despite acknowledging the fact that they cannot prove the theory, espoused by self-styled investigative journalist Nito Verdera, they have vowed to re-brand the island as the home of the late discoverer of America.

They also admit they truly cannot verify whether Columbus was born on the island, or even if he lived there for any period of time whatsoever.

However, councillors have voted unanimously to formally advertise the hypothesis that Columbus was the son of merchants who had a house in Dalt Vila, the medieval area of Ibiza Town.

It came with one condition - that it did not cost taxpayers' on the White Isle a single Euro.

The claim has been met with widespread scepticism, with many taking to Twitter to say it is simply a publicity stunt to attract tourists to Ibiza's cash-strapped holiday resorts.

But Verdera, who claims to have worked as a merchant sailor and pilot, insisted that the seafarer had a 'geocultural origin' from the island.

The self-styled journalist also alleged that 50 years of work had apparently disproved the widespread belief that Columbus was either Italian, Portuguese, or from Galicia in the north-west of Spain.

Born between August and October 1451, Columbus was the son of a weaver and small-time merchant.

Christopher Columbus was from Ibiza, politicians on the Spanish party isle have claimed.

The bizarre theory, which they admit they cannot categorically prove, is based largely on the fact that the fabled 15th century explorer had the same handwriting as Ibizans of the time.

And now, politicians have vowed to re-brand the island - better known for booze-cruise Brits, all-night clubbing and hard-core house music - as the home of America's discoverer.

THE Internet can be such a wild place, our lexicon created a word for such violations: cybercrime.

Yet a barrage of protests has met the passage last September of Republic Act (RA) 101751, or the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012.

Check our new look and tell us what you think.

Bloggers, Netizens, civil rights activists and journalists are calling for the repeal of the law, which, aside from penalizing cybercrimes like online pornography and trafficking, includes more severe penalties for cyber libel.

Objections

Five groups representing lawyers, journalists and bloggers have questioned the law before the Supreme Court, reported Elias O. Baquero in Sun.Star Cebus Sept. 30 issue.

The same report quoted the Cebu Citizens-Press Council (CCPC), which, in a resolution, asked that the law be reviewed for provisions that (violate) the constitutional guarantee of free speech and free press, due process of law, and equal protection of the law.

The ambiguity of the laws definition of cyberlibel opens the implementation to abuses. According to the CCPC, this is a serious omission.

The CCPC cited the power of the Department of Justice to shut down websites without a court order. To prove suspicions, the authorities can tap and record a persons calls, e-mails and other private communication coursed through computers and mobile phones.

Editorial: Self-regulating the Net

ARLINGTON -- The Battenkill Valley Supervisory Union delayed approval of a social networking policy that prohibits online communication between students and staff.

A motion to approve the policy was rescinded Wednesday after the board learned principals and the district's attorney had yet to review the policy that has been in the works since last school year. The policy would be the first of its kind in the area putting restrictions on social networking sites including Facebook, Twitter and other sites that continue to increase in popularity both among children and adults.

In addition to many common sense points in the proposed policy -- such as obeying all laws, following confidentiality requirements, and refraining from defamation of character, to name a few -- it also looks to separate employees' personal and professional lives.

The policy cautions employees about the content they post on their personal Websites, although it does not prohibit positing items that may be deemed inappropriate by some. Instead, Superintendent Karen Gallese said, the policy is intended to be less restrictive of rights of employee on their personal time, but to distance that personal time from their professions.

Gallese said the four-page policy was drafted by BVSU's three-member Policy Committee and herself using other districts' policies as templates. Although, there are few examples of such a policy. Neighboring supervisory unions -- Southwest Vermont and Bennington-Rutland --

A social networking policy was the idea of previous Superintendent Thomas Gallagher and the process began prior to Gallese's hire this summer. Gallese said she agrees there is a need for one with the intent to prohibit social networking at the schools and restrict personal or damaging information from being made public.

Part of the policy states "staff should never use or access social networking sites of pupils and should never accept an invitation to 'friend' a pupil."

Becoming Facebook "friends" with students or communicating with students through another media, the proposed policy says, "can be misconstrued as being part of a grooming process."

"I think for teachers this day in age, they need to protect themselves from that type of relationship with students. Particularly when teachers are putting up pictures of their personal lives and making comments with other friends. I just think they need to keep that private," Gallese said. "'Friending' students is a very fine line and a gray area, but to be on the safe side they should not be doing that."

Gallese acknowledged staff could run into problems with the policy when it comes to a teacher communicating with their child's friends online, or a younger relative, which the policy does not specifically provide an exception for.
