Tyshana, that mobile home is a CriticalCitizen - she points to differences leading to confusion over a trade name getting assumed be the only form there is. One intent of Community Windows is to integrate and support corporate independence, "the few over many", in a loose way, the goal being support of independent shops generally such as food, cafe, personal care (hair chops, etc.), and in particular concern with an emphasis to book shops, publishers, independent media - current and emerging forms: campus-community radio, websites and "free [4 Freedoms] Software" rather than nonfree, proprietary audio related archives, webcasting, radio program complementary information resource pool for that which can not ae provided during program, etc, by way of a form of "complementing tips". Granted their ought to be a symbolic representation, IMC comes close, to denote independence, a supporter and actor of common disinterest in terms of [independent] media, books, on and on. A way to show appreciation for the shops provisions, and for others who may not yet be patrons to facilitate a nascent opportunity by their recognition, again by anyone, patron or not, who sees and appreciates a Community Windows (or better yeat some general all-locales<->global independent media supporter, developer, etc. as well as all that is related to uprooting the "memory hole" of previous efforts in the proclaimed cause for "stability" and all those who have be killed or continue to suffer. It goes with out saying that so many do not currently utilize their windoes in the community adequately to connect and integrate with what they do and what do. In the case of some shop fronts playwoodght as well cover the class because you can't see in or out anyhow. The intent is not to replace one barrier with a wall of flyers but forms of concentrated informative resource connections beyond the bounds of traditional fyers that sometimes leave out related connections, historical and contemporary relations that might foster a widening of a circle of people not having accepted a compelete randomness of life - it can appear as such if you're a corporate consumer - you know those fossil transportrrs out in the mountains, hill, slopes as if that's where t people drive. add a comment on this article CW in "operation" Persisent window display 24x7 27.Mar.2005 14:46 For about a two month period CW (Community Windows) was nearly, fully in use in the windows of a "barber shop" in Davis Square, Somerville, MA.

Ideally in the case of the independent media if only there was some sort of "anti-"subvertise.org symbolic designator to connect those who area already have aof reality in the real world so that they would know that the flyer is in regards to such media or generally regarding independent shops, organizations, etc. Some example ways to use: Community Support & Two Senses of Outreach help defray flyer and book announcements...

I'm not trying to be funny, actual title, but seriously, "mental health" is probably best viewed as a continum or should be thought of as one affecting everyone.

Bush on Mental Health (3:30) "President Bush's new freedom commission on mental health held a forum to discuss the future of mental health programs in the United States. President Bush established the New Freedom Commission on Mental health on April 29th; the commission's stated mission is to study the United States mental health service delivery system, including both private and public sector providers. The commission's goal, according to its press release, is to recommend improvements to enable adults with a serious emotional disturbance to live, work, learn, and participate fully in their communities. But many mental health advocates are upset that patients and groups representing them have been left out of the process of reforming a broken system. From Portland, Oregon, Andrew Stelzer has this report."

Northeastern University abrublty - so it appeard - decided to rid themselves of lynx - not to be confused with GNU/Linux - see speel below. Though lynx is a text-only browser one could download other types of files but then you needed individual programs to access - to my limited knowledge - but though it lacked images when you referenced a website (one reason for websites be able to be rendered by various browsers - closed effort but: http://www.webstandards.org/upgrade/) it did allow for "home access" for "no charge." You know like software and such that one can download for no charge, or audio archives that it is no transfer of cost to obtain a audio player even if the format might be proprietary, but it certainly does not mean you are free in the liberty sense...

http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html:

``Free software'' is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of ``free'' as in ``free speech,'' not as in ``free beer.''

Free software is a matter of the users' freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software. More precisely, it refers to four kinds of freedom, for the users of the software:

• The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0).
• The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your needs (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
• The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor (freedom 2).
• The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements to the public, so that the whole community benefits (freedom 3). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

http://www.ku.edu/~grobe/early-lynx.html | http://www.help.neu.edu/alum_email_faqs.html Sidenote - recently heard NEU having a goal of attracting a broader scope students as the adddmissions process becomes more selective. Maybe a way of achieving more homogeneity as a result of "attracting" students from differing geographic areas but mostly from similar socio-economic circumstances. Just a theory.

Another observation that I have as of late tried not noting: when using the NEU library it seems most students are connected to various corporate media sources but maybe that is what one would expect from corporate campuses wherby its even proclaimed in those flags typically on street lamps: corproate partnerships and good stuff. Also Columbus Avenue, one might have wrote "behind" NEU" but it is appearing to become part of the campus. While walking down the street in sequence one sees two renovated buildings complete with university logo and those typical flags along the street. Upon reaching the third building I thought at last a renovated 'ole building in the area. Renovated yes but this one was a university police station. I won't comment further on these irrelevancies, like the facade on the building of the 'ole Mass College of Art that now appears (a few years now) hardly a facade of corporate caf'fee shops - most of the area is such a sharp dichtomy of private institutions of hospitals and 'higher loans of learning (for some) learning' tucked not too far from Emerald Neclace, and the Fenway is not just a park, it's a neighborhood too, and it has been for a number of years.

Usually would be more careful and knowledgable about a reference but maybe this one I will direct some critical feedback: http://www.colleges-fenway.org/environsciencesneighborhood.htm

"Restoration of the Emerald Necklace Continues"

"The Back Bay Fens, that stretch of parkway that lines the Muddy River and winds its way through the COF campuses, is one of six parks designed by Frederick Law Olmsted currently undergoing drastic improvements [after years of 'neglect' like some city schools, you know the ones being sold "reused" for private use, i.e., potential profit, not some crazy idea like an 'after school' use, art related facility, or like Forest Park School just (August 2005) demolished.

www.fells.org - http://massindymediatemp.objectis.net/airwaveweb/duckfells.html#duckfells will hold on this the point of this ramble might be a lost ramble but it is that there can be more integrating of many local and global concerns, shared domains of concerns and achievement of goals.

Bit more ramble: The prekindergarten sort of playground that was on the Forst Park site was one of the sadest, nothing compared to the outcome or funds devoted to Revere Landing - one of the finest children's playgrounds around, near the 'ole Boston Garden ( http://www.massbike.org/bikeways/boston_future.htm

-It's down from Nashua Street Park - also don't usually refer to TLDs of the sort .gov, or for the matter state websites but if they're ours and if one ever wants states not to be sole purveyors of violence then....do something...

The school also had the open grounds whereby you could play anything from kickball, stickball (maybe dating myself, thinking from the TV show The Honeymooners, Ed Norton got Ralph sick from when he was playing as a stickball coach...but children could also be creative and like classrooms that allow use of materials in ways that children are so inclined to use them. Not to draw what an adult wants them to make, using colors and forms that are expected.

One memorable drawings was a flower complete with its green usual stems but flower was a traffic light.

Last on about the school site there was an unkept, for lack of better name, a 'green space triangual plot of land' along Mass Ave (not to be confused with the one that is abbreviated Mass. Ave / Route 2A). It was, actually still is, about 40 feet by 20 feet, maybe more rhombus than triangle with 3 or 4 trees, adjacent to what was the school open, or better yet, free software type of playground.

Now that all but 2 trees have been cut down I see more objectively that they were not in a healthy way but there is something about these relatively more natural walkways and byways - the sort you can find (many examples of but staying geographically near Medford Square across the Same Ugly Vehilcle way, High Street, Route 60, there is a Cradock Bridge and another one of those 'you know you're not where you know you are areas', and the whole point is not to be in a state of self-deception, not lost in thinking you are "in the county" because your home is on a "quiet" street behind a city square with mostly people driving by, few if anya walking for enjoyment apparenlty, or to actually get some where -something I heard once: 'nobody walks to get anywhere, it's all either exercise or a pain to have to walk' so this person claimed, but there is something about such places that aren't the typical street, curb, yard or shop front - something besides the sharpness of the private/public terrain - there is certainly more interpentration between public-private when it comes to 'public risks and private profit' but that would be another verbage detour.

If one contines on from Cradock Bridge and tries to cross Route 16 to another walkway along to South Stret, Mysic River near Condon Shell? (not Hatch Shell) but this is, not the place, I hear ya to mention the benefits of any of not pushing the button for cross sign but waiting for an opening. In any even what often happens is independent of the color or light some fellow citizen will appear to be driving as if they're already on the interstate.

From http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html:

Describing non-free software as "closed" clearly refers to the term "open source". In the Free Software Movement, we want to avoid being confused with the more recent Open Source Movement, so we are careful to avoid usage that would encourage people to lump us in with them. Therefore, we avoid describing non-free software as "closed". We call it "non-free" or "proprietary".

Most former references - those that still exist mostly in Boston's (and surrounding areas but of course) IMC www.boston.indymedia.org and www.indymedia.org (IndyGlobal, distributed yet but still can have a "pool of resources" hierarchy free but somehow distributed ("small world [non-]problem" applied to connecting to IMC and integrated with various forms of independent media and individuals and some groups, "...not Gods, not kings, not corporations or even [some] organized groups http://www.johnmccrory.com/articles/article.asp?this=148).

At last references to http://lynx.dac.neu.edu/j/jzappia are now "the threat of a [www.goodexample.info]" - inspired by corporate interference, not just sort that squelches the local "campus-community" or better yet autonomous, free from disclaimer radio, one such is maybe Allston Brighton Free Radio which G/E does not get by traditional signal strength alone, radio program that one is trying to hear but obviously other matters that one who doesn't appear to be self-satisfied and living in the world of preferred image rather than actual one. Letters from Lexington of course states this in a more clear manner.

From: http://www.chomsky.info/books/consent02.htm, Conclusions, Edward Herman & Noam Chomsky, Excerpted from Manufacturing Consent, 1988

...Our concern in this book has been to inquire into the relation between this image and the reality. In contrast to the standard conception of the media as cantankerous obstinate, and ubiquitous in their search for truth and their independence of authority, we have spelled out and applied a propaganda model that indeed sees the media as serving a societal purpose, not that of enabling the public to assert meaningful control over the political process by providing them with the information needed for the intelligent discharge of political responsibilities. On the contrary, a propaganda model suggests that the "societal purpose" of the media is to inculcate and defend the economic, social, and political agenda of privileged groups that dominate the domestic society and the state. The media serve this purpose in many ways: through selection of topics, distribution of concerns, framing of issues, filtering of information, emphasis and tone, and by keeping debate within the bounds of acceptable premises.... http://www.goodexample.info s;lssklsklss http://web.archive.org/web/20030212131146/http://www.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=214177 Love, knowledge and justice or rasing the Newswire expectations bar (english) James Zappia 7:34am Fri Nov 1 '02 address: Bilingual, ideally biliterate .... jzappia@lynx.dac.neu.edu article#214177 George Harrison, he played guitar too, not to continue meaningless titles but while Newswire should evolve and connect other independent sources and importantly with those who still primarily get news from corporte media there's IMC articles and local IMC sites too but nobody would forget that. Some questions and continuing to mind the independent media gap from a member of the coalition for members without borders. Citizen awareness for all. Is there already an open and closed (members club) digital divide? Is it time to raise the expectations for Newswire while retaining Open Publishing? Is it necessary for compromise to be sacrificed in order to "reach more people"? Should many more people be active in pursuit of independent media, or more of an interaction between the two, nature-nuture and independent media-citizen partnerships of sorts? Should IMC sites maintain event calendars themselves rather than likely compromising with a host with corporate [citizen?] card host? I have elsewhere called attention to the Nirvana's (yea not that 60's band) Bleach which at the time, early 90's or during Nevermind's exponential shift in 'radio friendly units shifted' the first pressing of 40,000 or so seemed to be in line with past experience. Granted distribution factors into it, from early Sub Pop and Tupelo to DGC (David Geffen) certainly had varied resources and recording cost differences. And not to carry this side track too far I'll leave out other likely factors. I suspect it is still the case that many people are unaware other than by name of Bleach. I think it is was a natural progression from one to the other not a compromise in the music leaving out the choice of label decision. If Democracy NOW! suddenly had a similar shift in supporters would it imply a compromise in their consistent presentation likewise for FSRN? Are there other factors that might bring this about? carry on rest source c arry o ;links osunce from jhere 90809809890 http://web.archive.org/web/20031027040016/http://www.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=208555 lkklka xhwxk linkas help", "problem...", and other non-specific sky falling notifications (english) James Zappia 8:50am Fri Oct 11 '02 (Modified on 3:24am Sun Dec 8 '02) address: a place that is currently not being bombed but too many obsessed with fossil fuel price at the pump not the related sources jzappia@lynx.dax.neu.edu article#208555 Newswire should facilatate and continue discussions, strengthen connections between individuals, and others involved in peace and justice and related matters. If it becomes a disjoint arrangement between posters and readers then further open publishing proposals are needed as well as realizing the exsiting format as well as policies or expetations are not cast in stone. re: follow-up to article 208371 (Banned in Boston) and the response #208497 (Nazi Punks) to #208491 (Not matter what you think his name is Chomsky) I would not want anyone to think I am part of a conspiracy since I mistyped the South End Press URL above. If this was VMSnotes (Digital Equipment even during its existence was hardly well known generally, they were known for not doing commercials and maybe that was part of the culture that for some time set them apart form the impression I have today of corporations but I will save further elaboration for later) or a similar notes conferencing systems I would refer you to article #37.0 and it would follow that this is response #37.1. Some postings are strictly informative but others demand a continuing discussion process. If the goal is for some people to simply post or for others to be passive readers without submitting critical comment or forming connections via email, etc. then much like the numbers of people apparently too busy to respond to email even when you are trying to direct various support, heart, muscle, mind, and monetary, or warn them about a potential matter related to Pay-the-piker online money transfers, give supportive feedback, then it seems to limit ways to address the passive masses who watch "Dan I'd Rather-be-sleeping and others instead of truly independent media. If connections between individuals and organizations who support independent media can not be strengthened then small movements becoming lager ones is surely a fomative task. Since I'm member of the coalition opposed to membership forums, one who believes discussion groups should be open and not limited to "member only" lists..here goes... Though belated this is just a partial response to the IMC Open Publishing proposal. I interpret the goals of the proposal to encourage more use, growth, and attempts to reach more people especially passive corporate media supporters (except when it comes to responding to ads and having an impression that whatever "debate" or issue presented is a true representation rather than the usual narrowly imposed artificial appearance of one) of connected and automous individual IMC sites thoughout the world. Selected postings from the world's sites should foster a parrallel funnel of information, resources, actions, not a restrictive one that excludes or limits but shares more of what is going on at a local IMC sites with the global www.indymedia, and as I said elsewhere global-local is not a dichotomy but an interconnected way of relating one's current physicial location and sharp perspective with the whole in which it is a part. In the area of each IMC there is certainly enough particular local issues that though connected globably to movements, particular concerns and actual physical realities, schools, homes not facilities for aging population, issues related to nurse and teacher assistant, etc. One I'll add for the Boston area, making public radio a service for someone other than underwriters. There is seldom even a close to actual representation of people who are stil quite active (others not so active are not invisible or shouldn't be made to be) but when Senator Byrd is the show topic, the expressions by way of qualifyers that are the norm for pro-war host uttered regrading him, "raving", many refereces to his age, and many others. I have often thought about just forgetting about public service renoucement radio but they are public radio and are supposed to be accounatble so unlike thinking I can influence a corporate newspaper other than not support being a subscriber there's something I can do with the fomer even if it only to inform supportive members and those who ignore them completly without offering them dissatisfication notices. They're right, "you won't hear this anywhere else", imagine a public radio station being driven by underwriters and accepting if not pleading for member contributions that in turn facilate the growing audince for the cororpate underwiters. There needs to be attention to words especially the distintions between "internation community and Intcomand many others, "free trade", "arms sales", etc. I'm not known for organized paragraphs. "Human service" or update to a phrase that reflects the supportive role much like the interdisciplinary nature of health care personnel and clients, not client-patient, and many others topics can be best served locally while connecting with the whole. I'd add the large gatherings in the D.C. though a clear showing of voices not represented at all other than "#'s arrested" reports or seldom if ever details of why so many people are out (one of the pictures from Cincinnati clearly shows (woman with arms raised, maybe) the expression of committment and passion in the faces and their conversion to action). More continued efforts thoughout the cities of the world shows what's missing from corporaste media. Also living by the choices you make when you're not at a demonstration. The goal as I see it is not the unrealistic notion of less emphasis as awareness of concerns broadens or some conditions improve or that there won't be a need to continue protesting at all in the near future as clearly more is needed to show support and influence change for all the people throughout the world whose lives are impacted by decisons of inhumane interventionists, and many other qualifies. The point I was hoping for was trying to find something that keeps up the showing of support and awareness by some but limits the need to hop in fossil fuel transporters to get together in one place which in turn supports.... Maybe demanding the dedication of funds as now devoted by subsidized killing tools (not the sweeter sounding "arms trade") for public trasportation. What might really be primarily a relatively isolated local issue or personal crusade (to use the King's jargon by anyone who thinks posting at www.indymedia.org provides you a larger readership whe what is being posted is probably something that woul be best dicsscued at the a local IMC site might find they will experience the efects of diminishing returns because as is probably the case as more posts accumulate it becomes all the more important to have descriptive titles and summarys as more readers are likely to skim through as opposed to actually reading fully. I was thinking if one way to possibly redistribute or balance activty at www.indymedia.org would be to create regional hubs, say northeast.indymedia.org, including Boston, New york, Maine, etc. and LA, Seattle, etc, forming another, and Chicago covering the vastness in mid-west, southern states I am not even familar with but clearly there must be or should be respresentation there. I'll add that all sites still to not follow the site.indymedia.org format, philly, etc, maybe they have redirection but why nto follow form. Or retain www.indymedia.org with its own articles and selected representative articles thoughhout the world with newsire in the backgroud with the intent bein that postings should be regarding issues best served by the global forum, issues related to corporoate media, webcasting CARP, Copyleft (ever hear that mentioned on CORPmed?) extending copywright laws or making essentailly perpetual, quality of life, and then some. It is not my intent to separateglobal and local like the false nature and nuture dichotomy. For instance I wanted to respond personaly to "Nazi Punks..." regarding the fitting response to anyone trying to suggest that South End Press, Z Mag Alternative Radio, Speak out and others is anything but a fine example of an excellent common commitment to goals, connbectionwith Pluto Press who I recall mentioning some confusion with distinguishing their sites plutopress and plutobooks, Pluto Australia or something to that effect, why not interbnation tld (top-lev domain names as exists a proposal or soem way to better connect presuming there are relations between but... Th other day I was recalling the days of Usenet Deja News (begin by finding an archived post of mine regarding the defucted but back again 360's (Salem, MA live on on WMBR's Pipeline, live music, staple, so is Gull's Window Circus, Lisa G. who I am still stuck on her old show name, Sick Packages, maybe now ___ Death Car Experience, no relation to Jimi, Sue Safton's Aural Fixation) when it was not owned by 'Toggle as I refer to them. Modified in haste email so... In similar way if more people knew 'whowho and Broadcast.com, Webcastingmatters, CARP, (note in addition to www.TecsChange.org, Technology for Social Change, I heard on "Radio with a View" about www.kiteinc.org who one main difference is that their computers donated to organizations get Linux installed not that closed...) I was also recalling how Digital's VMSnotes conferencing system seems to me to still surpass anything that I am familiar For instance, unlike the structure of most IMC (Independent Media Center, www.indymedia.org ) sites one could do a directory/title="string" or /author, or refer to specific notes; Also, you could determine how many replies via note 33.11, etc, You were able to search the entire site or specific notes and much more. I know Digital's VMS operating system lives on in OPEN VMS and I still miss DCL. It allowed for doing so much quite easily say convert a text file into HTML at comman level (many people today wouldn't know what command level refers to, the whole black block approach) and so much more. I am still trying to convince peole I know convert to GNU/Linux. Stay actively connected, concerned, and motivated... Best regards, James Zappia Modest but evolving, hope for the passive masses and no longer looking down on mainstream or common sense. An example of VMSnotes confereing in a form suitable maybe for Newswire: ============================================================================= http://www.indymedia.org Note 120.13 "Descrptive Topic Title" 13 or 40 name@fsf.org 20 lines 29-Sep-1998 "reply title" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Enter text here ............................................................................. Various outputs could consist of Director/title=globalization, etc. The format of the outpus would be in sequential listed one per line each so you could determine which one you wanted to view. If any of the VMSnotes developers are out there or any of the 170,000 or whatever number of people who used to work at DEC, many of which who in 1980 were using VMSnotes conferencing and DEC's DECnet, who could say much more about how to radically change Newswire to faciltae discussions, locate infomation, etc feel free... About South End Press "South End Press is a nonprofit, collectively run book publisher with more than 200 titles in print. Since our founding in 1977, we have tried to meet the needs of readers who are exploring, or are already committed to, the politics of radical social change. Our goal is to publish books that encourage critical thinking and constructive action on the key political, cultural, social, economic, and ecological issues shaping life in the United States and in the world. In this way, we hope to give expression to a wide diversity of democratic social movements and to provide an alternative to the products of corporate publishing." Through the Institute for Social and Cultural Change, South End Press works with other political media projectsZ Magazine; Speak Out; and Alternative Radio to expand access to information and critical analysis." for some odd reason I was thinking of December 11, 2001, and some of the strivings for world peace and tranquailty while plans to war efforts (some could do in there sleep, what effort) were underway, the day Bush spoke at another "hand-picked" audience of sorts, Citadel and the applause was almost as if those 'clap now" signs were going up, and the same say the secretary of war, spoke and I recall the chuckles in the crowd of reporters regarding if memory serves the results of U.S. forced law and order. Saw a bit of the Frontline and for minite thought Cheney conceded that it wsn't for the U.S. to decide how others shoudl live and that it migth ven be futile and maybe to allow other people to live without U.S. inhumane intervention but then he returned to as one might expect and and said people have to be able to make their own mistakes. lynx.dac.neu.edu/j/jzappia/mainstream-aw... add your own comments I meant to say GNU/LIinux...

Newswire and many other discussion & communication forums would benefit from such features. For instance it appears most regulars follow the lastest postings, and previous ones though still relevant remain historical archive material (or maybe found via a search engine) but could better serve continued discussion.

Lesson in Miseducation and "Growing Up Corporate Below is the actual title, but seriously, "mental health" is probably best viewed as a continuum or should be thought of as one affecting everyone. Bush on Mental Health (3:30) "President Bush's new freedom commission on mental health held a forum to discuss the future of mental health programs in the United States. President Bush established the New Freedom Commission on Mental health on April 29th; the commission's stated mission is to study the United States mental health service delivery system, including both private and public sector providers. The commission's goal, according to its press release, is to recommend improvements to enable adults with a serious emotional disturbance to live, work, learn, and participate fully in their communities. But many mental health advocates are upset that patients and groups representing them have been left out of the process of reforming a broken system. From Portland, Oregon, Andrew Stelzer has this report." You won't find up-to-the-minute reflections about what you can see for yourself such as yes, it is raining... Modifed from: http://www.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=225294 The world of "Us" and "We" / Not an 'IndyUSA or the "we in me". Local and Global tranasctional process and Newswire Like nature and nuture I think it has to be much more of an transactional process whereby more people are connected to community concerns and efforts and see how issues in someone else's "backyard" are connected and related and maybe even the result of them or in their name ("generals are activists and peace activists are advocates") - had to throw that in! Free Speech Radio News or NO STIPEND THIS MONTH RADIO NEWS? The limits of signs, like corporate sound bites Come on and Take a Free IMC Ride" www.process.indymedia.org Radiate in Peace, Mary Hansen I have to mention John Pilger - IRAQ WAR HAS BEEN ESCALATING Inactivist of the year award winner Hey, those stones are actually rocks PatRIOT Act, Councilor Chuck Turner, the librarian who I asked about placing a brief reference in library especially how it affects librarians who stated she knew nothing... I have yet to write up a formal request to various child care and education organzations (developmentally appropriate and an understanding of imerging literacy, math, science, various materials to facilitate the artistic and creative process not an emphasis on product outcomes, social (including prosocial), outdoor play, and various aspects of a child's development) to ask for children, three, four, and five year old response to: "Draw the news" Drawings are welcome from older children. If you're interested in their response and in sharing in a possible use on a web site please include a letter stating it's okay to use said child's first name only and area location, etc. You can consider simply making the above statement or provide some preliminary content beforehand. Mainstream Awareness of Independent Media IndyGlobal can possibly be viewed as a local and interactive transactional process between the two spheres facilitated and inspired by its Open Publishing nature. The IMC network of autonomous Independent Media Center sites throughout the world provides a potential to represent actual concerns worldwide by people everywhere, many views, people virtually anywhere in the world looking at themselves and as well other areas of the global sphere. It might be that virtual realm in terms of forums is lagging the concrete as reflected by visible and demonstrated action and voiced expressions of needs and concerns so this is really not a mocking by implying a fear of an 'IndyUSA. In terms of the amount of U.S. views (citizens critically looking in and out) since it mirrors the percentage of the U.S. population in the world but yet it's vast environmental impact and the U.S. as a source for the spreading of weapons and more of its influence and control. As a result quite rightly there's much need for considerable concern about the U.S noted in IndyGlobal. In regards to "9-11 Looking At Americans Through Others Eyes" The above posting showed (as other notes do) there is the potential for more views looking at the U.S. besides people from the U.S. who appear to know it's not always "handing out" candy. There's many people in the U.S. who continue to not only maintain this image as the ideal but appear to believe the ideal is quite nearly reflected in reality. There's much concern for all people, environmental concerns, justice, but in the way that NRP (National Radio Project) whereby unlike, for the most part, the voices on so-called U.S. 'Public Service Renouncement radio sound as if they're all from the same town or grew up under similar circumstances. Maybe they were all indoctrinated in nearly the same manner. ------- 'Love, knowledge and justice' or rasing the Newswire expectations bar and welcoming future supporters in terms of involvent in the process and evolving and infroming others to check out IMC themselves. A modief version of http://www.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=214177 George Harrison, oh yea, he played guitar too. Should Newswire evolve and connect with more independent media sources and what about those who still primarily get news from corporte media? There's IndyGlobal and worldwide IMC sites but nobody would ever "forget" about the center Articles within all of them, right? Some more questions follow and a continuation of minding the independent media gap from a member of the coalition for non-member virtual groups! In adition to archived IMC minites and process mailing why not open up further or make for less of a distinct "behind the scenes", ongoing technical and editorial issues and developments more connected with "regular" trolls of IMC. Is there already an enough open and closed members clubs, digital divide within itself, divide not only between non-Internet citizens but among those who use the Internet and in particular support in principle and other ways IMC. Is it time to raise the expectations for Newswire while retaining Open Publishing? That is in addition to all that is being reported but also some sort of more direct or obvious connection to actions related to issues raised? Acts of Civil... Is it necessary for compromise to be sacrificed in order to "reach more people"? How to get more to seek out on their oww or facilitate. Often at demonstrations and events plenty of banners but seldom see enough reference to independent media in the local area of Internet listening range, worldwide via webcasting. Should IMC sites maintain event calendars themselves rather than likely compromising with a host with corporate [citizen?] debt card sponsor hosts? I have elsewhere called attention to the Nirvana's (yea not that 60's band) Bleach which at the time, early 90's or during Nevermind's exponential shift in 'radio friendly units shifted' the first pressing of 40,000 or so seemed to be in line with past experience. Granted distribution factors into it, from early Sub Pop and Tupelo to DGC (David Geffen) certainly had varied resources and recording cost differences. And not to carry this sidetrack too far I'll leave out other likely factors. I suspect it is still the case that many people are unaware other than by name of Bleach. I think it is was a natural progression from one to the other not a compromise in the music leaving out the choice of label decision. If Democracy NOW! suddenly had a similar shift in supporters would it imply a compromise in their consistent presentation, likewise for FSRN? Are there other factors that might bring this about? Though change is frequently called for is it sufficiently understood? From history you can't assume that change is unidirectional or in the direction a sensible and caring person would hope. "Parmenides maintained that, whatever the senses might say, the very notion of change involved a contradiction, and so reason demanded that reality be entirely devoid of change. Round about but I am focusing on contradiction but highlighting change as an evolving understanding. Are there bands who mock the 24 hour corporate label and other sponsors advertisement, I mean video channel but yet have a goal of being on there? Look how many references here in IMC to corporate media. Shouldn't more people be hearing about lesser known independent sources rather than chancing negative publicity affects by increasing name recognition to say the least or adding to the perception by some that certain corporate media entities are the endpoint sources for truth with all its flaws. It has been shown letter writing can have an affect but public radio accountability seems to also require creative direct efforts since it is likely to respond whereas corporate newspapers would probably not change until a serious drop in subscriptions and sponsor concerns developed. This started after seeing the meaningless Newswire title. Which one? Well gladly there's not too many here. "If it Bleeds, it Leads See often but without reference to the source. The title I am referring to could have been meaningful for other than hoping to possibly attract readers who might have thought it had something to do with Anti-Bias Curriculum: Tools for Empowering Young Children by Louise Deerman-Sparks and the A.B.C. Task Force by NAYEC (National Association for the Education of Young Children) or generally related to facilitating active citizens or discussing Jerome Bruner's Process of Education whereby he makes the case for teaching any subject to a young child but not in the form David Elkind warns of in Miseducation Preschoolers at Risk. If someone who I referred IMC to actually took it upon themselves they might have read such a title and then immediately saw through it and hardly got an adequate representation of the Newswire discussion starter statements. I say starters because I still think it lacks in follow up or pointers but I'll leave this for now. Freedom of press around the world I'm glad that some sources have been added regarding the topic on Reporters without Borders since it certainly helps allow one to form a more complete picture. Initially and I think still Reporters sans frontières did not even refer to this site. The "Distorters Without Borders" I first heard about RSF though FSRN (Free Speech Radio News) while it like many others including Democracy NOW! it would be ideal if they were 100% supporter funded but though I admit the Ford Foundation is not on the top of my list to pick up the difference I do not know anything sinister about them or in the case of the EU funding source for RSF it should raise concern though as we know a title can be misleading the The European Initiative for Democracy and Human Rights (EIDHR) and EIDHR project id #3148, "Fight against impunity for murderers of journalists - Damocles network" in RFE/RL (Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty) / Media Matters and other sources I at the present time I a have a relatively high degree of trust. Ford Foundation -- Grant Information to Deep Dish TV (DN!), Inc. to follow. Purpose: For the television news series "Democracy Now!" to continue incorporating the aftermath of the September 11th attacks into future broadcasts Location: New York, USA Program: Education, Media, Arts and Culture Amy Goodwin spoke at the Institute of Politics on October 31, 2002, http://ksgnotes1.harvard.edu/ksginfo/eNews.nsf/details/3A25FBED795356C18"> Taking on the System and Mobilizing for Justice and a bit of her comments were aired on (via Chuck) Local Edition produced by the WMBR news department (www.wmbr.org) and by providing this reference I don't mean that you forget about issues related to the university or for that matter it's hard to see how my not listening to WMBR because of it connection to MIT though I understand it operates in relative autonomy body (though hard to see why the news was nearly canceled) but relative is key as evident by frequent reminders that the 'views and opinions...'but unless IMC or others decide and are able to recreate or join forces with Allston Brighton Free Radio to my knowledge the only radio station not affiliated with a university and community in more than name. Back to change; as far as I know development and growth continues to be discussed in early childhood education or human development generally and calls for change continue to be a process that is not cookbook yet until maybe more of the mechanism of human nature are understood. I do like what Amy Goodwin said about DN! being part of a movement. I related what she said to a teacher who is not fixed solely on a child making a picture to meet their needs or what's expected by the adult but to focus on the process by letting the child explore various materials and methods thus allowing process to be the primary concern. At the end of each DN! that is not the end of it but is where reflection by listeners an actions continue. Have some fell into the growing up corporate imposed limits between one corp-mercial and the next? Even public radio does this but differently. Recalling the days 'now a word from our sponsors' whereby the host of a comedy hour or whatever would display a product with a sort of transparent break in the flow of the show. Public radio may say "we'll return after this break" but it could replace with "right after our corporate underwriters such as fossil fuel transportation, banks and such". Also some hosts still conform to attempts to compress say 2000 years or philosophy or history to a sentence or two. It seems in this forum there is no need to duplicate such constraints. There's also matters of post being placed in IndyGlobal and specific IMC sites. If the reason for this duplication was to connect to the local issues I could understand but often it's simply a duplication. I didn't think disk space was that insignificant a concern anymore. It seems a pointer would suffice. What about GlobalIndy feature of Pooled Local-Global Concerns as an effort to limit redunacy and duplication of the "same" post being propagated throughout the IMC network. Also along the lines I realize some discussions seem to naturally spawn many topics along the same lines but for the sake of focus isn't it worth while for all such topics to be under one topic. Or is it case that someone fears the threat of concrete bulletin boards whereby someone places a flyer over yours! Would "Add Comments" being expanded to read say "more than commenting on the base topic but a follow-up discussion and extension upon original topic, debate, etc." so as to maybe foster the continued thread in one place. It's not a retreat from my appreciation for "Books in the Sand Box? Markers in the blocks?" as I continue to mix it up. Lastly and finally just thought about fostering contacts to be on par with all those people who might as well simply leave their calling cards randomly on public phone booths sort of the antithesis of targeting audience. I tried to find an email for Ed@imc but since I have as of yet not found a decode pointer page: ed@IMC Nazi punks personal name that points to an actual e-mail address A local concern of mine but maybe relevant... The Event Calendar via Protest.net (regional event listings) link from Boston's IMC in turn gets you directly to ACT-MA list of messages. When ever I reference the page I simply pretty much do as above accept often I go directly from a direct-read-ACT-MA link or bookmark. In either case you don't get the pop-ups that appear at the main host site but you most likely see a credit card, not a citizen card or a reference to say Bread Hours, etc. Also, does the IMC get any sort of support in return for traffic directed to Topica? In expanding awareness, using one example, heard on the radio, aside from say referring to United for Justice with Peace or ACT-MA which does potentially bring the two to the attention of more people but can even more be done so as to more directly connect and expand upon the link? There's also other issues. In giving direction to ACT-MA via being directed to the main site with its pop-ups, and in both cases this still excludes people who don't sign in at public libraries, use a friend's computer, etc. Also, to focus solely on web based and not further develop connections between radio listeners who use phones or who find out events only after they happened limits development. Also, those who are waiting for corporate media newspaper and "weather" and "accident reporting" so-called local news will wait in vain unless they mostly want to hear: "300 protesters..." or "6 people were arrested". Another local topic but certainly must connect with a larger one is Jill Stein, who was in my view not a major or minor caniditate for governor of Massachusetts but someone who cleary expouses what she stands for which leads me to continue to question the third party designator perpetuation. Why not a name or a non-name that continues to stress not being part of any backroom money and influence deals (but a fan of wording positvely) and continue a movement that incorporates broad support related to the retreat from the race to the bottom but rather globalizsing peace and justice not profits at the expense of land and people and allow the process to be an umbrella that many could feel does them justice? Life after Binary Choices I wonder if these sorts of exchnges forster more discussion and expand IMC eben further to those who still "support" corporate media?
