Extractions: Welcome to the Public Interest Registry (PIR) Web site. Our site offers information about our registry, shows how to find a registrar, and explains how to purchase a .ORG domain name. The new site also provides resources to help noncommercial organizations more effectively utilize the Internet. Finally, our Web site is intended to be a resource for our registrars. We want to be helpful to all visitors to our site. Your feedback, perspectives and suggestions are welcome. New and Newsworthy PIR Launches .ORG Global Spotlight. Over the years .ORG has become the preferred gTLD for noncommercial organizations. ORG's respected noncommercial distinction comes from a heritage of recognition in the global Internet community. As Internet domains have evolved over the last decade, .ORG has achieved a special brand of its own as the respected home for not-for-profit and noncommercial endeavors, causes and issues. In an effort to demonstrate the many ways in which organizations are utilizing the Internet and .ORG to further achieve their mission and goals, Public Interest Registry has implemented the .ORG Global Spotlight. Our pledge to you, in initiating the .ORG Global Spotlight is to share information on organizations that, through the use of the internet and registering a .ORG domain, are advancing their cause, sharing information, raising awareness, increasing political participation, fostering education, enhancing cross-cultural communication, increasing association membership, raising money, or something we have not thought of!

Resources-Research And Evaluation Doing research on Womens Communications Perspectives on Theoryand Method. Norwood, New Jersey Ablex Publishing Corporation. http://www.apcwomen.org/resources/research/analytical-framework.html
Extractions: The past two decades have demonstrated the growing strength of the global womens movement in advocating issues of womens equality and empowerment. Among these issues is that of womens marginalization and invisibility in all aspects of technology. There exists an array of literature that speaks to this topic. It began in the early 1980s with research into the effects of new technologies on womens jobs and developed into debates about the gender gap in technology. Most of this information is inaccessible, yet much of it is critically important to womens efforts to inform decision-making and guide actions This paper presents a range of perspectives on gender and information and communication technology (ICT) drawn from a review of the literature. The aim is to present some of the major debates and critiques of ICT to highlight some important issues of concern for women. It also provides an analytical framework from which to view womens global participation in, need for and critique of computer networking. The framework builds on an initial one developed for a research study undertaken by the Association for Progressive Communications Womens Networking Support Programme on womens global networking by incorporating more international perspectives into the discussion, and highlighting some issues and observations specific to women working in ICT. Judy Wajcman's book Feminism Confronts Technology concludes, "The time is ripe for reworking the relationship between technology and gender. The old masculinist ideology has been made increasingly untenable by the dramatic changes in technology, by the challenge of feminism ... Technologies reveal the societies that invent and use them, their notions of social status and distributive justice. In so far as technology currently reflects a man's world, the struggle to transform it demands a transformation of gender relations" (Wajcman, p. 166).
Communication Is A Relatively Recent Academic Discipline And Org Comm Has Been A communication is a relatively recent academic discipline and org comm has been an important subset of that discipline since 1950.

Extractions: Communication is a relatively recent academic discipline and org comm has been an important subset of that discipline since 1950. To say that we live in an organizational world has become a truism. Thus, when any of the innumerable organizations touching our lives fails to function properly, we can expect to experience a variety of pains, both material and emotional, until the necessary improvements are made. Regardless of which particular organizational theory we happen to entertain, we must acknowledge one axiom: In every instance of org problems we can think of, at some time and in some way, human communication has been significantly involved. I in fact believe that a communication failure is at least one of the basic sources underlying every organizational failure. I do not claim that if you complete this course you will have neat solutions to all organizational problems. Communication failures are typically complex and rarely, if ever amenable to cook book quick fixes. But you will leave here with helpful suggestions for reducing communication problems in organizations and with a better understanding of the underlying causes of organizational problems.

Wireless networks are changing the way we think about communications systems. Traditional wired networks often are modeled with a layered approach. Each layer performs some function and only has knowledge of its neighboring layers. However, to operate most efficiently, a "layer" in a wireless network requires more knowledge about activities in other layers. Thus

Extractions: A widely touted study denying a link between abortion and breast cancer in the British medical journal, The Lancet, failed to include research that contradicted its findings according to one prominent researcher. Dr. Joel Brind said the Lancet report incorrectly compares rates of breast cancer among women who have had abortions with women who have never been pregnant rather than with women who have given birth, a methodology that ignores the fact that a pregnant woman who chooses abortion is "at a higher risk of breast cancer than . . . had she chosen to carry the pregnancy to term." In the Lancet article, "Breast cancer and abortion: collaborative reanalysis of data from 53 epidemiological studies, including 83,000 women with breast cancer from 16 countries," the authors claims to analyze "(d)ata on individual women from 53 studies undertaken in 16 countries with liberal abortion laws," according to a summary of the study's methodology found on the journal's website ( www.thelancet.com
