The Right Wing's 'Noise Machine'
The Right Wing's 'Noise Machine'
05/11/2004 09:12 AMDavid Brock:
The Mighty Windbags. Today, the most important sectors of the
political media -- most of cable TV news, the majority of popular
op-ed columns, almost all of talk radio, a substantial chunk of the
book market, and many of the most highly trafficked Web sites --
reflect more closely the political and journalistic values of the
Washington Times than those of the New York Times. That is, they are
powerful propaganda organs of the Republican Party. For our politics,
this development in the media represents a structural change: a
structural advantage for the GOP and conservatism, and, I believe, the
greatest structural obstacle facing opponents of the right wing. I
therefore think it is one of the most important political stories of
the era.
West Wing's indoor and outdoor voice
West Wing's indoor and outdoor voice
03/29/2005 09:25 AMMy wife and I have been catching up on TiVo'ed West Wings and the
pattern seems obvious: The ones on the campaign trail are good while
the ones inside the White House suck. The cause seems just as obvious:
Without the natural drama of a campaign, the writers are at a loss.
Adam Sorkin's genius was his ability to create compelling scripts out
of two elements that traditionally are drama-free: a group of people
who like one another and political issues/ideas. The new writers have
fragmented the group and are relying on ridiculous plot twists: CJ's
elevation to chief of...

Scholarship, teaching, new media, and
copyright conference
06/17/2004 11:28 AM
The
Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania is holding a conference this weekend on the growing copyright
problems facing scholars using digital media. "Knowledge Held Hostage:
Scholarly Versus Corporate Rights in the Digital Age" examines
the
overlap of creative use of technology with (often inadvertent)
copyright infringement.
Questions to be addressed include the following:
What justifies fair use in a scholarly context?
Is there a viable alternative to fair use in the
academic environment?
What are the fair use issues and needs raised by different scholarly
media (for example, print, film, digital media, databases)?
Do different kinds of institutional arrangements
(large vs. small school vs. professional society, classroom vs.
library) raise different fair use issues and needs?
The event is also
sponsored by Rice University 's
Connexions project
.

ience-fair-projects.com/Today your teacher announced
that your school is going to have a science fair and students are
responsible for exhibiting their projects. What do you feel?
Enthusiastic? Despondent? Dreadful? Fearful? Excited?" This statement
opens the Super Science Fair Projects site. Actually, whether student
or parent, science fair projects, while great ways to get students
actively involved in learning the scientific method and problem
solving, can be tough assignments. This site may help you with one of
the hardest parts: coming up with an idea. The site does a great job
of walking the visitor through the steps needed to plan and implement
a project, from Choosing a Topic, the Scientific Method, and writing
the Project Report. There are even tips on displaying your project,
rehearsing, winning over judges, and what to expect the day of the
fair. This is definitely a great tool to tap into when planning a
science fair project.[From The NSDL Scout Report for Math,

Science.gov
05/14/2004 06:28 AMScience.govhttp://www.Science.gov/Science.gov is the gateway to reliable information about science and
technology from across federal government organizations. Science.gov
2.0 offers groundbreaking, user- friendly technology enhancements to
the interagency science portal. While retaining the content and
advances originally unveiled in December 2002, now Version 2.0 will
search 47 million pages of government R&D results and present the
result to the patron in relevancy-ranked order. The new technology
sorts through the government's vast reservoirs of research and rapidly
returns information in an order more likely to meet patrons' needs.
Science.gov contains reliable information resources selected by the
agencies as their best science information. The Science.gov Web site
provides the unique ability to search across 30 databases as well as
across 1,700 Web sites. The World Wide Web consists of two parts: the
Surface Web and the Deep Web. Popular search engines can access the
Surface Web, but not the Deep Web. Among the resources in the Deep Web
are the huge databases created and maintained by the science agencies.
Using a "metasearch" technology, Science.gov 2.0 brings the 30 largest
of these databases together and makes them searchable via a single
query. This has been added to
