     Extractions: By Ed Morrow here you go again." That was the affable but cutting counter Ronald Reagan made famous during the presidential debates, after his opponent would make some twisted charge. Reagan would then simply and frankly explain how they were wrong. His gentlemanly insistence on not being manipulated drove Democrats nuts. Well, here they go again, again. In mid-November, in the middle of "sweeps," when the networks usually trot out their very best programming in a bid to score high ratings to justify high advertising rates, CBS is planning to dump an unbelievably biased version of Ronald Reagan's presidency into America's living rooms. Called The Reagans , the spelling of the title is probably the only accurate part of the production. Judging from the accounts that have been creeping into the press and the promotional bits played by Matt Drudge as a fill-in host on Rush Limbaugh's radio show, the miniseries is a vicious smear of Reagan and his wife Nancy. The Reagans casts James Brolin as Reagan. He is the husband of Barbra Streisand who, reportedly, spent weeks on the set giving him and the filmmakers her helpful advice. Brolin presents Reagan as a dim-witted actor of modest ability manipulated by a self-centered, domineering wife who is contemptuous of underlings. One suspects that Brolin had little difficulty getting "into" this role, but it is a portrait of Reagan that is unrecognizable outside of an old, lame

     Extractions: Inventing Torres Wolfgang Kramer Posted July, 2000 M. Kiesling and I so enjoyed developing Tikal that we decided to immediately develop a similar game but one that would be three-dimensional. This was the beginning of Torres. The two games are similar in many ways: limited action points to spend each turn, scoring during the game and at the end, a scoring border to track players' scores, and a board that is empty at the beginning and develops throughout the game, eventually becoming quite complex and so developed that at the end it is completely filled. Also like Tikal, players have few opportunities for aggression against the other players, each player has several pieces, and the game is dominated by strategy and tactics. We developed the game from the middle of 1997 to the beginning of 1999, working on it almost exclusively full time until the beginning of 1998, and then sporadically, usually with the publishing house, to the beginning of 1999. At first, we looked for a suitable, attractive topic and a working title. After a long search, we decided to use the King Arthur legend. The game would be set in the Middle Ages, using the castles of Cornwall. Each player would represent a prince/king, who builds castles with several knights for the protection of the country. It would be a polite building game. Our working title was Avalon. In the legend, Avalon is the faerie island to which the heavily wounded King Arthur flees to heal his wounds and from which he one day emerges to reclaim his realm and save his people.

     Extractions: Larger View of Orville Orville and Wilbur's father, Milton, was a minister in the Church of the United Brethren in Christ. As part of his work, he often traveled from place to place. When he returned home, he often brought gifts for his young children. Once, he presented a rubberband-powered flying toy to the boys. The toy fascinated them and sparked their lifelong interest in flight. Late in the autumn of 1878, our father came into the house one evening with some object partly concealed in his hands, and before we could see what it was, he tossed it into the air. Instead of falling to the floor, as we expected, it flew across the room till it struck the ceiling, where it fluttered awhile, and finally sank to the floor ... It was a light frame of cork and bamboo, covered with paper, which formed two screws, driven in opposite directions by rubber bands under torsion. A toy so delicate lasted only a short time in the hands of small boys, but its memory was abiding." Neither Wilbur nor Orville finished high school, although both liked to learn new things. By the time Wilbur was 22 years old, he and Orville (who was 18) opened their own printing office. They recycled broken parts and built the printing press they would use to start their business. A few years later, they became interested in bicycles and decided to switch businesses. In 1893, they opened the Wright Cycle Company, a bicycle sales and repair business in their hometown of Dayton, Ohio. By 1896, Wilbur had his mind set on a new idea: flying.

Some, like the 1901 glider (above) were dismal failures. But the Wrights had the ability to learn from their failures as well as their successes, and so made steady progress toward creating a practical airplane.

     Extractions: home subscribe about us books ... feedback Counter Punch March 21, 2003 By PHILIP S. GOLUB T here is a coalition of the radical right in the United States, including the odd Democrat, that has long held that patriotic mobilisation is important in holding American society together. When detente broke out in the 1970s, these hawks worried about any reduction in international tension, however slight. Since 11 September 2001 they have had no more worries. The neo-conservative right has been attempting, with varying success, to establish itself as the dominant ideological force in the United States for more than 25 years, especially in the definition of foreign policy. Long thwarted by democratic process and public resistance to the national security state, it is now on the brink of success, thanks to George Bush's disputed electoral victory in 2000, and to 11 September 2001, which transformed an accidental president into an American Caesar. President Bush has become the neocon vehicle for a policy that is based on unilateralism, permanent mobilisation and "preventive war". War and militarisation would have been impossible without 11 September, which tipped the institutional balance in favour of the new right. There were other possible responses that would have had a less destabilising effect on the world. One would have been to strengthen multilateral cooperation to contain the stateless trans-national terrorist threat, and seek to reduce tensions and resolve conflicts in areas at risk, notably the Middle East. Another would have been Keynesian-style regional development on Marshall Plan lines. This would have encouraged local forces for democracy, and would undoubtedly have been more effective than war in stimulating the US and global economies.

     Review of Reinventing Eddie - . This life-affirming very odd aftertaste.Pictures Gallery For Re-inventing Eddie Re-inventing Eddie (2002).  
     http://www.movie-gazette.com/cinereviews/738
     
     Extractions: Eddie Harris (John Lynch) is a big-hearted, optimistic child trapped in an adult's body, and he is never happier than when he is playing with his own two young children, Katie (Lauren Crook) and Billy (Ben Thompson). Yet when a picture which Katie has drawn of one of Eddie's bathtime games is misconstrued by a schoolteacher, social services are called in, and before Eddie quite realises what is happening he finds himself excluded from access to his children, shunned by his beloved wife Jeanie (Geraldine Somerville), and subject to a nasty campaign of threats and sabotage from his work colleagues. Isolated and desperate, Eddie sneaks his children (and one of their friends) out of their school to join him on an unauthorised excursion to the Riviera of North Wales, in the hope that he can renew, if only for a day, his past happiness with them. Writer/director Jim Doyle conveys this disconcerting rift between reality and Eddie's perception of it by presenting a plot reminiscent of Ken Loach's relentlessly downbeat 'Ladybird Ladybird', but framing it as though it were a manic feelgood comedy. The effect is best summed up by the final scene, in which Eddie joyously declares "It doesn't get much better than this", as the camera pulls out to reveal a drab landscape of chemical factories beneath a darkening sky. Even the decision to shoot everything in scope, unusual for a British drama, creates an apt reflection of Eddie's larger-than-life outlook - as well as some unexpectedly stunning tableaux of Manchester's canals.

110. Inventing The Future

     Extractions: This is OCRed because I think it's important enough that it ought to be online. James Burke's conclusion of the first episode of connections really "hits the nail on the head" for me. If you're short on time, then skip ahead to the section where Burke takes apart the four prevailing attitudes towards the pace and direction of technologically-driven change. Why should we look to the past in order to prepare for the future? Because there is nowhere else to look. The real question is whether the past contains clues to the future. Either history is a series of individual and unrepeated acts which bear no relation to anything other than their immediate and unique temporal environment, or it is a series of events triggered by recurring factors which manifest themselves as a product of human behaviour at all times. If the latter is the case, it may be that the past illustrates a number of cause and effect sequences which may take place again, given similar circumstances. If it is not, then, as Henry Ford put it, 'history is bunk', and there is no profit to be had from its study, or from anything not immediately and only concerned with the unchanging laws of nature. Clearly, a preference for the cause and effect argument governs the approach to history expressed in this book. The process of innovation is shown to be influenced by several factors recurring at different times and places; although these may not be repeated exactly each time, the observer becomes aware that they may recur in his own future, and is therefore more able to recognize them should they do so. The structural device used here is to examine an event in the past which bears similarity to one in the present in order to see where such an event led. Thus we return from the modern ballistic missile to the development of cannon-balls, from the telephone to medieval church postal services, from the atomic bomb to the stirrup, and so on. The purpose of this approach is to attempt to question the adequacy of the standard modern schoolbook treatment, in which history is represented in terms of heroes, themes or periods.

Maybe you can imagine the answer that question, but thanks to some amazing and creative inventors, you'll never know for sure. To honor those inventors, and others, the National Inventors Hall of Fame (NIHF) will induct them on Monday, May 3, in Akron, Ohio. "The 20 inventors have patented inventions that have impacted our lives in very significant and beneficial ways," Rick Nydegger, NIHF President says. The NIHF is a nonprofit organization that fosters creativity and invention by honoring the people responsible for the technological advances that make human, social and economic progress possible. Since its opening in 1973, 184 inventors have been recognized and added to its halls. This week, you'll meet some of those inductees, and then you'll spend some time with two of history's most prominent inventors Thomas Edison and Leonardo daVinci. You'll also get a brief look at inventions created by ancient civilizations.

Well, can't we do so in our ordinary language? But that is not what I mean. The individual words of this language are to refer to what can only be known to the person speaking; to his immediate private sensations. So another person cannot understand the language. Ludwig Wittgenstein Philosophical Investigations par. 243 I will be using 'audience' in two ways in the following essay: as a phenomenon that produces and is produced by media technologies (readers, hearers, viewers, Internet-users), and as something, audiens , that is essential to language itself, something without which language cannot be. I shall do so in specific references to invented languages . Who, then, are the 'consumers' of invented languages?

     inventing and Invoking Tradition in Holocaust Memorials. Simon J. Bronner. DistinguishedProfessor of Folklore and American Studies Penn State Harrisburg.  
     http://www.temple.edu/isllc/newfolk/memorials1.html
     
     Extractions: Penn State Harrisburg This essay is an expanded revision of a presentation made at a symposium entitled "The Meaning of Things" held at the Cooper Hewitt, National Design Museum (Smithsonian Institution) in New York City, May 18, 1996. When ground was broken for the World War II Memorial on Veteran's Day of 2000 in Washington, D.C., a symbolic center for the nation, several speakers shared the hope that the structure about to be built would provide a sacred space that could become a backdrop for a ritual of remembrance. They hoped for the kind of ritual response that the Vietnam Memorial on the National Mall had inspired, and privately worried that the memorial would go the way of neglected sculpture for the Korean War (see Haas 1998). They hoped that the memory of a conflict in "good time" more than fifty years after the event, and thought of as "a good war," fought for a noble cause, would inspirit the memorial, indeed go beyond being symbolic to become "cultural." In ritually breaking ground, and expressing hopes and plans for memorials, especially for wars and tragedies, speakers confront a central problem of inventing and invoking tradition for public consumption. While private ceremonies for individual deaths have prescribed customs of grief, according to ethnic and regional traditions, the process of constructing memorials for the whole meant for public display, have less predictable responses. Since the purpose of public memorialization is more common on the landscape, memorial design, particularly for wars and tragedies that many citizens want to forget, struggles to create a location as well as an aesthetic for tradition.

The most obvious answerthat broadband connections remain unavailableis not the correct one. The truth is that at least three-quarters of American homes have cable modems or DSL service available to them. The real answer is that most people still choose not to subscribe. They feel that $40 or $50 a month is too high for the benefits they receive, and they're happy to sip bandwidth through a straw or forgo Internet access at home completely. Click Here This brings us to Washington's political class, which doesn't care much for the choices that Americans have made. Politicians have been busy for the last few years concocting new tax-and-spend schemes that would funnel billions of dollars into subsidizing high-speed connections.
