Santa Cruz Media Summit: Live this weekend Jan. 25-27

Update by Peter Phillips and David Kubiak
Many economists now doubt that government measures can prevent a
major recession given the severe slump in the housing market, the
subprime mortgage crisis, growing unemployment, declining consumer
spending, and record high oil prices. Even harder times for working
people are undoubtedly at hand, yet mainstream corporate media
continues to lavish more attention on the Super Bowl and celebrity
misadventures than measures to protect Americans from grave personal
economic harm. We are spun, mislead, propagandized and amused to
death by our media conglomerates and as a result the US has become
the best entertained and least informed society in the world.

"The Story of Stuff"

This is not a "bah-humbug" message this holiday season, but one of reflection that I wish to share... We can enjoy the holidays while at the same time considering "The Story of Stuff" I say this with self-reflection because to be perfectly honest I ran over to the Rogue Valley Mall just two days ago looking for "last minute stuff"--wes
What is the Story of Stuff?
From its extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in our lives affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view. The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It'll teach you something, it'll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever.

Unmanned Aircraft Accident Investigation
Aircraft Maintenance Technology Online , 26-10-2007 - 19:03
Even though pilots of UAVs are in remote control stations, there are no recorders that can give investigators a record of communications between each other, other pilots and air traffic control. It makes sense that these requirements should extend to UAVs.

Eyes Wide Open, Its Not A Game Of Chess
Rogue Imc Volunteer, 13-07-2007 - 14:22
THE WAR IN IRAQ IS LIKELY LOOKED AT AS A GAME OF CHESS BY THE POWERFUL WAR-MONGERS WHO LIED AND LED SO MANY TO SENSELESS DEATH. The horrors of this illegal war, now occupation, are not for these powerful decision makers or their families. They just give the orders. The horrors for the most part are for the middle income and poor folks, the working class who fight and get killed.
EYES WIDE OPEN is an exhibit that offers a place of reverance for ALL who have fallen in the Iraq War...
This particular photo was captured by Arcata, CA resident Ruth Boyle who stopped by this year's Eyes Wide Open exhibit in Medford, Oregon. Ruth was early and volunteers were scampering about setting things up for the display. For this photograph the early light was just right...
Ruth Boyle's photograph is more than the result of someone just pushing the shutter button on a camera. This is art. Looking at the photo can lead to some heavy contemplation about war, death and some people's games.

Sneaky Greg Walden Townhall Comes on July 3rd - Brings Protest and Testimony
****************************************************************
Medford peace group to protest Walden’s “town hall” meeting
CPJ once again asks the time-honored question: “Where’s Walden?”
Citizens for Peace & Justice will rally outside the Jackson County Courthouse Auditorium on Oakdale in Medford from 10 to 10:30 am next Tuesday, July 3rd, before Rep. Greg Walden, R-OR, begins his “town hall” meeting to protest its inadequacies.
The reason for the protest is that Walden responded to calls for a town hall meeting on the cost of the Iraq War to Oregon by scheduling a one-hour meeting from 10:30 to 11:30 am on a weekday when few working people can attend. He also scheduled a similar meeting in Grants Pass for 1:30 pm to give him a good excuse for the Medford meeting not to run long.

David Rovics Radical Concert: Ashland, Oregon

CELEBRATING INDEPENDENT MEDIA WEEK IN ASHLAND, OREGON
Bellview Grange Sunday April 20, 2007
IndyMedia Week (April 15-21, 2007) had two concerts, the George Mann kickoff event on Sunday http://rogueimc.org/en/2007/04/8255.shtml and the David Rovics-Patrick Dodd event Friday Night http://rogueimc.org/en/2007/04/8306.shtml Here is David Rovics on Friday night, taken with a hand held video camera without an external mic..
So much fun to sit on a couch up front and just kick back and listen to the wonderful performance of David Rovics and Patrick Dodd. I only held up my video camera for 15 minutes of raw footage thinking it too dark for video and that my camera's built-in microphone was not capable of getting good sound (for the techies, i needed an external mic). But then I listened to it and decided it was much better than imagined and so here is a streaming vid from the friday nite concert
