Technology is going to make the world around us smart
as we move away from proprietary architectures to a standards-based
ecology of information.
We still need a name for the UCD: UNIVERSAL COMMUNICATION DEVICE
or "information - communications - appliance - utility-
network computer, cable or wireless black box modem, play station,
boom box, CD, DVD, telephone, wireless, cordless, portable, TV,
radio, pager, laptop, notebook, library, GPS, map, yellow pages,
combat walk and talk and call in air strikes more".
The market for the bandwidth and the appliances is
global - with billions of clients world wide.
The money is in software now moving from "programs" to
content.
The content will be interactive media that includes
program functions. ISP such as AOL, will provide multimedia E-mail
as a word processor that can handle graphics, photographs, soon
video and data files.
The browser becomes a universal systems
package do all the most common functions as plug-ins.
The USB
universal serial bus ties to printers, sound and video systems,
play stations, phones, keyboards and voice commands, other
appliances and services. Microsoft-NBC-General Electric, merge
into a convergence of media and communications services. Time-Warner,
the News Corp., Disney-ABC, are positioning themselves for the
transformation of many business into one.
The current crop of
Internet stocks are unlikely to be very important.
Other business includes finance, matching buyers and sellers, and
a thousand other ideas and items.
The ISP becomes a bank and
travel agent, department store, and service center. Wal-mart,
Sears and other may need their own ISP. Clients will pay the ISP
for telephone service, cable, lease of hardware, Internet, credit,
and may buy their insurance, tickets, or dishes from a company
they trust, so it all adds up.
A limited set of functions and libraries in or around a CPU, with
the capacities of a play station, will run a package of on demand
utilities called from the network. Once there is a break in the
bandwidth, your browser can quickly call down any packages it may
need - high speed smart updates means you don’t have to have
everything stored. Office systems can do this now but are afraid
to be pioneers with arrows in their backs. Once Sun, Oracle, IBM
or others really have high performance objective networks there
will be no need for the bloated windows operation systems.
The market often is as slow as the political process in facing
the inevitable forces of technology and social history. Cartels
and semi-monopolies are the natural outcome of free competition
because organizations can join together to control markets.
The robber barons of the late 19th and early 20th century, such
as Morgan, Carnegie, Mellon, Rockefeller, Stanford, Dupont
controlled steel and oil, railroads and chemicals. General Motors
president Alfred P. Sloan worked with the du Pont's to control
the auto market. A U.S. Court of Appeals finds that Aluminum Co.
of America (Alcoa) held a 90 percent monopoly in U.S. aluminum
ingot production before the war, a monopoly enjoyed by the
Mellons for more than half a century. See RCA (NBC - Victor )

Sun's McNealy portrays perils of running the Wintel 'gauntlet' )
( Windows/intel )
http://www.excite.com/computers_and_internet/tech_news/zdnet/?article=zdnews2.inp
Scott McNealy, CEO of Sun Microsystems Inc., one could easily
draw the conclusion that most of the ills in the computer
industry stem from one company and one company only.
The charismatic McNealy used large portions of his keynote
address here Thursday at Sun's JavaOne developers conference, as
well as a subsequent press conference, to paint Microsoft Corp.
as a ruthless monopoly destroying companies and promoting a
flawed business model.
"
The market economy works until somebody gets so much market
power that they are beyond market principles," he said.
McNealy said Microsoft's monopoly on the desktop through the
Windows operating system enables it to sell "bloat"
like Office 2000 that people have to buy.
"
The other opportunity it has is to go out and buy little
companies that wouldn't normally be successful, bundle them into
their Windows or Office hairball and use their lock-in and
monopoly leverage to make them successful and drive everyone else
out of business," McNealy said. "That makes everybody
want to sell their company for a price lower than they want to
because if you're not the one bought, you're done."
One of the best examples of how new technologies can be dominated
by powerful forces that control standards was the companion
development of hardware ( Radios, phonographs, and then
television ) as well as soft ware, the programming, records and
content necessary to sell the product. People won’t buy
radios or TV if there are no stations, there can’t be
stations until people have radios or TVs. RCA supported the
networks in order to sell radios.
Then they made more from the
broadcasting then they did from hardware.
Sarnoff, David, 1891–1971, American radio and television
pioneer; b. Russia. He worked for the Marconi Wireless Co.,
winning recognition as the narrator of the Titanic disaster (1912).
After the Radio Corp. of America absorbed (1921) Marconi, Sarnoff
became general manager. As president (after 1930) and chairman of
the board (from 1947) of RCA, he played a major role in the
development of television.
A superheterodyne circuit developed by U.S. Army Signal Corps
major Edwin Howard Armstrong, 26, became the basic design for all
amplitude modulation (AM) radios. It greatly increases the
selectivity and sensitivity of radio receivers over a wide band
of frequencies (see 1906; FM, 1933). Radio Corp. of America (RCA)
was founded by Owen D. Young (see 1919) who loans Ernst
Alexanderson to RCA which will employ him as chief engineer for 5
years (see 1906). RCA acquired the Victor Co. and become a radio-phonograph
colossus but anti-trust court actions will separate RCA from GE (see
VICTROLA, 1906; NBC, 1926). David Sarnoff urges marketing of a
simple "radio music box."
The American Marconi Co. says
his plan will make the radio "a ‘household utility’
in the same sense as the piano or phonograph" (see 1912;
1920).
American radio and television pioneer who proposed the first
commercial radio receiver and in 1926 formed the National
Broadcasting Company.
The first vinylite phonograph record
appears in October. RCA-Victor issues a new recording of the 1895
Richard Strauss work Till Eulenspiegels Lustige Streiche, but
vinylite will not displace shellac until the perfection of long-playing
records (see 1948).

Something missing:
An astro-physicist has said ‘ there is no reason that people should be ever be able to
understand the universe’. Our biological and intellectual background is so naturally limited by our life experience here on Earth. We have no way of comprehending or visioning space time plasma that behaves in ways impossibly strange to our ways of being and knowing. Atomic physics involves models that are not intuitive - even counter- intuitive.
Most people who have ever lived on this planet, were born and died within a fifty mile range.
Their perceptions are defined within what is called a tribal culture - part real and part superstition. Applied rational knowledge is fairly modern as a cultural style and still not seriously or firmly established as a norm.
The irrational base of human understanding is clearly demonstrated by politics and commercials.
NOW as we enter into a global technical society our social world is as little understood as the physical.
The new world order - lacks a vision or social psychological foundation.
]
The technology itself is revolutionary.
The global economy requires new models of thought. It’s not surprising that it is difficult and there is a lot of active and passive resistance.
The leaders and leading institutions often don’t get it. Non-liner, transactional, mutually dependent rapid change appears to many as anarchy and chaos - morally questionable and in conflict with traditional values. That is because global transformations are a real revolution. Serious changes are disruptive of the existing order.

RE: Proposal for on-line class in Thinking Skills
Creative Thinking in Education and Management
Part of the Master of Arts in Creativity and Innovation"
Edward de Bono's Design and Development of thinking,
University of Malta
http://www.is.unimt.mt/~create/
We are currently exploring the possibility of setting up an online version of the MA in Creativity and Innovation using internet and other computer-mediated techniques.
The design of such a course
requires close interaction between people with established skills in course design and internet page authorship together with a flair for transmitting skills and knowledge in the area of Creativity and
Innovation. If you think you might be able to collaborate in this new venture please contact the programme coordinator with an indication of your potential contribution and qualifications.
Ca. $ 285.00 3 graduate Credits ( can be used for in-service points for most U.S. State Dept. of Education requirements )
On-line methods:
We will use http://www.wiredbrain.net/ as a home site.
The students need a good Internet connection with IRC ( chat ) and FTP ( file transfer capacities ).
The reading will be available for down loading from the site.
The students will complete original projects and examinations.
Students can sign up anytime.
They registrar via e-mail with the University and pay their fees.
The instructor gets paid 60 % of the fee and provides the on-line services.
The students work is put into their own web pages and can be subject to external evaluation by members of the department ( rather that the instructor ). This creates a more common interest in doing the best work possible and avoids "games" about grades.
The student continues until the external reviews approve of a grade the student will accept.

Can children be taught to think as a specific skill? And if they can, would it do any good? With Dr. de Bono as your guide, explore thinking patterns, tools for teaching thinking, the mechanics of
thinking lessons, and much more. Find out how to teach the useful skill of seeing many facets of a problem rather than only knowing a great deal about one facet.

Teaching Thinking
Dr Edward de Bono is widely regarded internationally as the leading thinker about thinking. He is the
organiser of lateral thinking, the widely used Six Hats method, water logic (and flowscapes) and the
CoRT programme for the direct teaching of thinking in schools. He has written over fifty books with
translations into twenty-eight languages and has made two TV series. He was a Rhodes Scholar at
Oxford and has held faculty appointments at the universities of Oxford, Cambridge, London and
Harvard. A recent compilation of the 250 most significant contributors to human development in the
history of the human race includes Dr de Bono.
His ideas are based directly on an understanding of the human mind a self-organising information system. He believes that our traditional habits of thinking are no longer sufficient in a changing world.
Edward de Bono's recent best-sellers include Teach Your Child How to Think, Water Logic and Parallel Thinking.

The effort to stay "up-to-date" in the Internet business and the
INTRA-net, office suite applications, connecting MS Office 96 to
the Internet maybe of greater financial importance than the "pop"
culture on the web. BUT..BUT.. it's a jungle out there.
"Market.htm
These new methods will have a immense impact on education and a
lot of other things we do. In all case you need to look for
yourself to get the feel of what this is all about. Take the
tour.
The two developments that are important right now are Narrative
Communications (
www.narrative.com ) and WEBTV (
www.webtv.net ).
It is moving so fast that the news programs can't keep up except
maybe POINTCAST visual (
www.pointcast.com ) and Timecast (
www.timecast.com ) real audio services. That is the point.
Yesterdays news is not good enough, people have to make choices
every day and it gets harder and harder. What ever you think
today will be different soon.
The big time MEDIA companies ( Sony, Time/Warner, CNN, NBC
Microsoft ) thought the real interactive stuff would have to wait
on " broad band " cable or direct T.V., or cell phone type
microwave systems or maybe cheap high quality phone lines. Who
knows ? Take a look at the demo of WebTV and CNN interactive.
There we are with our cable, we turn on a channel, and there is
the Internet ( controlled with Surfwatch so our kids won't look
at the nasty stuff ) with E-mail, all it's resources. What's the
difference with what I am doing now ? What about the word
processor, the FTP and IRC ( chat ), maybe all in the TV version
of Netscape.
The Sony box maybe a little as $150.00 with game
port windows.
The big difference is video at full speed.
The Word
Processor can be downloaded in seconds so I don't have to have it
on a hard drive. I guess - but I don't like it - It doesn't
matter if we like it or not .. it's like hurricane Bertha, it's
going to do what it is going to do and there is nothing I can do
about it, except flee or face it. It turned out to be more hype
that any real problem for Florida.
TODAY'S Example: From the what's cool button on Netscape Browser.
NARRATIVE COMMUNICATIONS
No more waiting for graphics and audio files to download - Narrative's Enliven viewer, a Netscape Navigator plug-in for Windows, gives you streaming multimedia on the Web.
Now you need to down load the plug-in and use Netscape 2 - does not work yet on Gold 3 ( I had to get a copy from 205.218.156.36 the netscape ftp, much faster than their download pages )
Then it worked ( after several tries and a reboot ) plays a video type CD talking page.
The stream in real audio has now become a video play with buffer. Rather than download, setup application and play - it can run off the web pages. GO TO the TOUR for examples.
Look at the Cable systems alternative:

RE:
The
Bermuda TRIANGLE:
The explanation for the "Bermuda triangle" phenomena is that
there is nothing to explain.
There is no marvel because there is
no statistical difference.
The explanation to the RASH of Black
Church fires may be the same. No more boats or planes ( given the
traffic ) disappear in the Bermuda triangle than anywhere else
and the number of wooden church fires has not increased. In is
all in the perspective.
Most of what happened to public education is that:
The number of "special needs" children from 3 % to 18 % and
growing rapidly and use up time and resources. While the average
child gets 3 or 4 thousand in services ( 50 % used up in overhead
) special needs children average 15 thousand. Learning
disabilities, Attention Deficit Disorder, Behavioral problems,
Teen Age Mothers, all suffer from the Bermuda Triangle syndrome -
regular events are treated as exceptional and extra- ordinary -
there is no problem there in most cases, the kid is fine the
system stinks. A rose is a rose,
Gertrute Stein wrote, she also said
about someplace, I think LA, that there is no there - there. )
But each disability has a powerful lobby.
# the number of children from single (and divorced) households
increased almost an order of magnitude from 5% to 35 % of the
total.
# Television does brain damage, ( really ) especially to young
children.
# the top 25 % of academic talent stopped becoming teachers in
public schools as other career opportunities became open to
women,
# the number of well paying semi-skilled industrial jobs has been
cut in half,
# more children stayed in schools longer with the expectation of
going to college, but without motivation or academic interest or
talent,
# and the military became much more selective.
# Well meaning legislation, such as
The American with
Disabilities Act have created a paper war, ESOL ( English for
Speakers of Other Languages ) is a nightmare, and that is only
one of dozens of 'special this' and 'required that' which tie the
system into knots and divert need attention from helping kids
learn to learn. Case law has added more problems and makes everyone
too worried.
The American comprehensive high school mostly prepared factory
workers, ( Suburbs offered academic schools for upper middle
class parents ) lower middle class women found teaching a social
step up, and boys in trouble went to work or to the military.
Now teaching is a low status factory job, boys in trouble cause
trouble ( a lot more violent because of T.V. and single parents )
..
SO the answer is....
Small, smart, stable schools that meet the social biological
needs of children. ( District # 5 in NYC )
Military or CCC detachments of young men that would end up in
jail - not just boot camps but two years of military type service
for anyone that wanted to join ( or go to jail - a choice parents
and Judges used to use a lot ).
National Schools for talented:
National magnate schools foundation, ( and teacher training
institutes ) were the teachers are federal civil servants paid
and treated as professionals would be a model and a good start,
like in North Carolina. Started for the 1 % "genius" these
schools could moving toward the 5 % of children doing world
class academic work, especially in science, engineering and math.
The crisis of the Talent gap could promote a national set of
pattern schools, as lab schools, test beds R & D centers.
The regional
educational labs should always have had a school of their own.
University schools could be more important. Private models can be
used.
National
Charter schools could escape from the petty fogging
bureaucracy of state departments of education. I have one in
mind.

The time between invention and mass production is the period
where the "infrastructure" ( stuff underneath ) and standards are
established. Railroads requited finance, rights of way, standard
gages, stations, coal and all kinds of industrial capacity.
Auto's that Henry Ford changed from a rich mans hobby into mass
market require a complex infrastructure of roads, gas stations,
regulation, etc..
T.V. had the same problem as the Internet, first the quality had
to be good enough, the price low enough, and their had to be
something on it. General Sarnoff ( RCA ) promoted radio stations
so he could sell radios. Zenith supported FM and TV to sell sets.
Gillete supports razors to sell the blades. Cable required "
critical mass" of content only possible with space technology and
Turner's type distribution. VCR/HVS needed standard tapes,
content ( video stores and movies on tape ) and a lower price.
The Internet is going through the stage where it moves from a
hobby and tool of specialist to a consumer commodity faster than
any other new technology because the infrastructure is in place,
they are creating standards as it goes along, content is
expanding as rapidly as the users. Netscape gave away the razors
and will sell the blades, in the form of servers, and office
products. Microsoft gave away ( for a few thousand dollars ) to
IBM, DOS so it could sell the contents and control the operating
systems.
RE:
The Candidate:
We all know the "system" doesn't work. Politics gets more and more unreal. We need a constitutional convention called by the states.
The reforms would be to design a more parliamentary form of government with responsible political parties, some form of proportional representation. We helped write a excellent constitution for the German Federal Republic, under General Clay's position during the occupation ( 1946 - 7 ) and we have the talent to reform ourselves. We can't expect the system in Washington to reform itself. We have to understand how the system really works and what it will take to change it.
We all have different talents. In public affairs there are those that are smart as legislators, with the complex skills of deal making, as managers, good at promoting their ideas, fixers and wheeler dealers, and some at being great candidates. Only Franklin Roosevelt was good at it all.
Bob Dole has to be one of the worse candidates in years. He has many other talents but running for office, in a media context, is not one of them. Bill Clinton is a great Candidate and has some talents in other areas.
The result is the quality of choice is very limited, almost meaningless, so people are turned off. Most other countries have stable political parties with internal discipline.
Their leaders are tested in important talents besides being a candidate. Most of the other industrial states have more reasonable governments. This gives them an advantage in bi-lateral negations, in industrial policy, in education and infrastructure, and makes others more competitive in the world economy than we are.
Money and politics:
The goal of political reform should be to take away the profit motive in our election process.
The attempts to control money by regulation is hopeless because if individuals have personal power, the market will find a way around any rules. If we had disciplined national parties, individual candidates and office holders would not have the power to shake down organizations for money.
There is
synergy
between money and politics, and we end up with the best government money can buy.
The issue is NOT only that greedy special interests bribe hungry politicians, but there is a shake down - or protection racket going on. When you need money as a candidate, you suggest some awful piece of tax policy, regulation, that would cost an industry a lot of money.
Then they pay up. In local politics the example is how sheriffs and boot leggers work together to spread the money around. Using high sounding rhetoric there are extensive rules controlling taxes, booze, drugs, land use, big budgets, contracts, grants, etc. all which give the power to benefit, or threaten and get paid off.
Individual members of parliament do not have the power to threaten or benefit contributors. But the current system can not reform itself ?
The idea is to have disciplined parties that actually preform on their campaign platform.
The candidates for a real party can's just do what ever they want once elected.
The majority of people want less government, want to take power away from Washington, want to reduce regulation, etc. but have not been ready to face this central issue, a systems problem, the way system works makes the achievement of their desires impossible. Republican committee chairmen are the same as their Democratic colleagues.
They need the power, to hurt or help, to raise the money to stay in office.

Technology is going to make the world around us smart
as we move away from proprietary architectures to a standards-based
ecology of information.
We still need a name for the UCD: UNIVERSAL COMMUNICATION DEVICE
or "information - communications - appliance - utility-
network computer, cable or wireless black box modem, play station,
boom box, CD, DVD, telephone, wireless, cordless, portable, TV,
radio, pager, laptop, notebook, library, GPS, map, yellow pages,
combat walk and talk and call in air strikes more".
The market for the bandwidth and the appliances is
global - with billions of clients world wide.
The money is in software now moving from "programs" to
content.
The content will be interactive media that includes
program functions. ISP such as AOL, will provide multimedia E-mail
as a word processor that can handle graphics, photographs, soon
video and data files.
The browser becomes a universal systems
package do all the most common functions as plug-ins.
The USB
universal serial bus ties to printers, sound and video systems,
play stations, phones, keyboards and voice commands, other
appliances and services. Microsoft-NBC-General Electric, merge
into a convergence of media and communications services. Time-Warner,
the News Corp., Disney-ABC, are positioning themselves for the
transformation of many business into one.
The current crop of
Internet stocks are unlikely to be very important.
Other business includes finance, matching buyers and sellers, and
a thousand other ideas and items.
The ISP becomes a bank and
travel agent, department store, and service center. Wal-mart,
Sears and other may need their own ISP. Clients will pay the ISP
for telephone service, cable, lease of hardware, Internet, credit,
and may buy their insurance, tickets, or dishes from a company
they trust, so it all adds up.
A limited set of functions and libraries in or around a CPU, with
the capacities of a play station, will run a package of on demand
utilities called from the network. Once there is a break in the
bandwidth, your browser can quickly call down any packages it may
need - high speed smart updates means you don’t have to have
everything stored. Office systems can do this now but are afraid
to be pioneers with arrows in their backs. Once Sun, Oracle, IBM

The market often is as slow as the political process in facing

Sun's McNealy portrays perils of running the Wintel 'gauntlet' )
( Windows/intel )
http://www.excite.com/computers_and_internet/tech_news/zdnet/?article=zdnews2.inp
Scott McNealy, CEO of Sun Microsystems Inc., one could easily
draw the conclusion that most of the ills in the computer
industry stem from one company and one company only.
The charismatic McNealy used large portions of his keynote
address here Thursday at Sun's JavaOne developers conference, as
well as a subsequent press conference, to paint Microsoft Corp.
as a ruthless monopoly destroying companies and promoting a
flawed business model.
"
The market economy works until somebody gets so much market
power that they are beyond market principles," he said.
McNealy said Microsoft's monopoly on the desktop through the
Windows operating system enables it to sell "bloat"
like Office 2000 that people have to buy.
"
The other opportunity it has is to go out and buy little
companies that wouldn't normally be successful, bundle them into
their Windows or Office hairball and use their lock-in and
monopoly leverage to make them successful and drive everyone else
out of business," McNealy said. "That makes everybody
want to sell their company for a price lower than they want to
because if you're not the one bought, you're done."
One of the best examples of how new technologies can be dominated
by powerful forces that control standards was the companion
development of hardware ( Radios, phonographs, and then
television ) as well as soft ware, the programming, records and
content necessary to sell the product. People won’t buy
radios or TV if there are no stations, there can’t be
stations until people have radios or TVs. RCA supported the
networks in order to sell radios.
Then they made more from the
broadcasting then they did from hardware.
Sarnoff, David, 1891–1971, American radio and television
pioneer; b. Russia. He worked for the Marconi Wireless Co.,
winning recognition as the narrator of the Titanic disaster (1912).
After the Radio Corp. of America absorbed (1921) Marconi, Sarnoff
became general manager. As president (after 1930) and chairman of
the board (from 1947) of RCA, he played a major role in the
development of television.
A superheterodyne circuit developed by U.S. Army Signal Corps
major Edwin Howard Armstrong, 26, became the basic design for all
amplitude modulation (AM) radios. It greatly increases the
selectivity and sensitivity of radio receivers over a wide band
of frequencies (see 1906; FM, 1933). Radio Corp. of America (RCA)
was founded by Owen D. Young (see 1919) who loans Ernst
Alexanderson to RCA which will employ him as chief engineer for 5
years (see 1906). RCA acquired the Victor Co. and become a radio-phonograph
colossus but anti-trust court actions will separate RCA from GE (see
VICTROLA, 1906; NBC, 1926). David Sarnoff urges marketing of a
simple "radio music box."
The American Marconi Co. says
his plan will make the radio "a ‘household utility’
in the same sense as the piano or phonograph" (see 1912;
1920).
American radio and television pioneer who proposed the first
commercial radio receiver and in 1926 formed the National
Broadcasting Company.
The first vinylite phonograph record
appears in October. RCA-Victor issues a new recording of the 1895
Richard Strauss work Till Eulenspiegels Lustige Streiche, but
vinylite will not displace shellac until the perfection of long-playing
records (see 1948).

Something missing:
An astro-physicist has said ‘ there is no reason that people should be ever be able to
understand the universe’. Our biological and intellectual background is so naturally limited by our life experience here on Earth. We have no way of comprehending or visioning space time plasma that behaves in ways impossibly strange to our ways of being and knowing. Atomic physics involves models that are not intuitive - even counter- intuitive.
Most people who have ever lived on this planet, were born and died within a fifty mile range.
Their perceptions are defined within what is called a tribal culture - part real and part superstition. Applied rational knowledge is fairly modern as a cultural style and still not seriously or firmly established as a norm.
The irrational base of human understanding is clearly demonstrated by politics and commercials.
NOW as we enter into a global technical society our social world is as little understood as the physical.
The new world order - lacks a vision or social psychological foundation.
]
The technology itself is revolutionary.
The global economy requires new models of thought. It’s not surprising that it is difficult and there is a lot of active and passive resistance.
The leaders and leading institutions often don’t get it. Non-liner, transactional, mutually dependent rapid change appears to many as anarchy and chaos - morally questionable and in conflict with traditional values. That is because global transformations are a real revolution. Serious changes are disruptive of the existing order.

Part of the Master of Arts in Creativity and Innovation"
Edward de Bono's Design and Development of thinking,
University of Malta
http://www.is.unimt.mt/~create/
We are currently exploring the possibility of setting up an online version of the MA in Creativity and Innovation using internet and other computer-mediated techniques.
The design of such a course
requires close interaction between people with established skills in course design and internet page authorship together with a flair for transmitting skills and knowledge in the area of Creativity and
Innovation. If you think you might be able to collaborate in this new venture please contact the programme coordinator with an indication of your potential contribution and qualifications.
Ca. $ 285.00 3 graduate Credits ( can be used for in-service points for most U.S. State Dept. of Education requirements )
On-line methods:
We will use http://www.wiredbrain.net/ as a home site.
The students need a good Internet connection with IRC ( chat ) and FTP ( file transfer capacities ).
The reading will be available for down loading from the site.
The students will complete original projects and examinations.
Students can sign up anytime.
They registrar via e-mail with the University and pay their fees.
The instructor gets paid 60 % of the fee and provides the on-line services.
The students work is put into their own web pages and can be subject to external evaluation by members of the department ( rather that the instructor ). This creates a more common interest in doing the best work possible and avoids "games" about grades.
The student continues until the external reviews approve of a grade the student will accept.

Dr Edward de Bono is widely regarded internationally as the leading thinker about thinking. He is the
organiser of lateral thinking, the widely used Six Hats method, water logic (and flowscapes) and the
CoRT programme for the direct teaching of thinking in schools. He has written over fifty books with
translations into twenty-eight languages and has made two TV series. He was a Rhodes Scholar at
Oxford and has held faculty appointments at the universities of Oxford, Cambridge, London and
Harvard. A recent compilation of the 250 most significant contributors to human development in the
history of the human race includes Dr de Bono.
His ideas are based directly on an understanding of the human mind a self-organising information system. He believes that our traditional habits of thinking are no longer sufficient in a changing world.
Edward de Bono's recent best-sellers include Teach Your Child How to Think, Water Logic and Parallel Thinking.

These new methods will have a immense impact on education and a
lot of other things we do. In all case you need to look for
yourself to get the feel of what this is all about. Take the
tour.
The two developments that are important right now are Narrative
Communications (
www.narrative.com ) and WEBTV (
www.webtv.net ).
It is moving so fast that the news programs can't keep up except
maybe POINTCAST visual (
www.pointcast.com ) and Timecast (
www.timecast.com ) real audio services. That is the point.
Yesterdays news is not good enough, people have to make choices
every day and it gets harder and harder. What ever you think
today will be different soon.
The big time MEDIA companies ( Sony, Time/Warner, CNN, NBC
Microsoft ) thought the real interactive stuff would have to wait
on " broad band " cable or direct T.V., or cell phone type
microwave systems or maybe cheap high quality phone lines. Who
knows ? Take a look at the demo of WebTV and CNN interactive.
There we are with our cable, we turn on a channel, and there is
the Internet ( controlled with Surfwatch so our kids won't look
at the nasty stuff ) with E-mail, all it's resources. What's the
difference with what I am doing now ? What about the word
processor, the FTP and IRC ( chat ), maybe all in the TV version
of Netscape.
The Sony box maybe a little as $150.00 with game
port windows.
The big difference is video at full speed.
The Word
Processor can be downloaded in seconds so I don't have to have it
on a hard drive. I guess - but I don't like it - It doesn't
matter if we like it or not .. it's like hurricane Bertha, it's
going to do what it is going to do and there is nothing I can do
about it, except flee or face it. It turned out to be more hype
that any real problem for Florida.
TODAY'S Example: From the what's cool button on Netscape Browser.
NARRATIVE COMMUNICATIONS
No more waiting for graphics and audio files to download - Narrative's Enliven viewer, a Netscape Navigator plug-in for Windows, gives you streaming multimedia on the Web.
Now you need to down load the plug-in and use Netscape 2 - does not work yet on Gold 3 ( I had to get a copy from 205.218.156.36 the netscape ftp, much faster than their download pages )
Then it worked ( after several tries and a reboot ) plays a video type CD talking page.
The stream in real audio has now become a video play with buffer. Rather than download, setup application and play - it can run off the web pages. GO TO the TOUR for examples.
Look at the Cable systems alternative:

RE:
The
Bermuda TRIANGLE:
The explanation for the "Bermuda triangle" phenomena is that
there is nothing to explain.
There is no marvel because there is
no statistical difference.
The explanation to the RASH of Black
Church fires may be the same. No more boats or planes ( given the
traffic ) disappear in the Bermuda triangle than anywhere else
and the number of wooden church fires has not increased. In is
all in the perspective.
Most of what happened to public education is that:
The number of "special needs" children from 3 % to 18 % and
growing rapidly and use up time and resources. While the average
child gets 3 or 4 thousand in services ( 50 % used up in overhead
) special needs children average 15 thousand. Learning
disabilities, Attention Deficit Disorder, Behavioral problems,
Teen Age Mothers, all suffer from the Bermuda Triangle syndrome -
regular events are treated as exceptional and extra- ordinary -
there is no problem there in most cases, the kid is fine the
system stinks. A rose is a rose,
Gertrute Stein wrote, she also said
about someplace, I think LA, that there is no there - there. )
But each disability has a powerful lobby.
# the number of children from single (and divorced) households
increased almost an order of magnitude from 5% to 35 % of the
total.
# Television does brain damage, ( really ) especially to young
children.
# the top 25 % of academic talent stopped becoming teachers in
public schools as other career opportunities became open to
women,
# the number of well paying semi-skilled industrial jobs has been
cut in half,
# more children stayed in schools longer with the expectation of
going to college, but without motivation or academic interest or
talent,
# and the military became much more selective.
# Well meaning legislation, such as
The American with
Disabilities Act have created a paper war, ESOL ( English for
Speakers of Other Languages ) is a nightmare, and that is only
one of dozens of 'special this' and 'required that' which tie the
system into knots and divert need attention from helping kids
learn to learn. Case law has added more problems and makes everyone
too worried.
The American comprehensive high school mostly prepared factory
workers, ( Suburbs offered academic schools for upper middle
class parents ) lower middle class women found teaching a social
step up, and boys in trouble went to work or to the military.
Now teaching is a low status factory job, boys in trouble cause
trouble ( a lot more violent because of T.V. and single parents )
..
SO the answer is....
Small, smart, stable schools that meet the social biological
needs of children. ( District # 5 in NYC )
Military or CCC detachments of young men that would end up in
jail - not just boot camps but two years of military type service
for anyone that wanted to join ( or go to jail - a choice parents
and Judges used to use a lot ).
National Schools for talented:
National magnate schools foundation, ( and teacher training
institutes ) were the teachers are federal civil servants paid
and treated as professionals would be a model and a good start,
like in North Carolina. Started for the 1 % "genius" these
schools could moving toward the 5 % of children doing world
class academic work, especially in science, engineering and math.
The crisis of the Talent gap could promote a national set of
pattern schools, as lab schools, test beds R & D centers.
The regional
educational labs should always have had a school of their own.
University schools could be more important. Private models can be
used.
National
Charter schools could escape from the petty fogging
bureaucracy of state departments of education. I have one in
mind.

The time between invention and mass production is the period
where the "infrastructure" ( stuff underneath ) and standards are
established. Railroads requited finance, rights of way, standard
gages, stations, coal and all kinds of industrial capacity.
Auto's that Henry Ford changed from a rich mans hobby into mass
market require a complex infrastructure of roads, gas stations,
regulation, etc..
T.V. had the same problem as the Internet, first the quality had
to be good enough, the price low enough, and their had to be
something on it. General Sarnoff ( RCA ) promoted radio stations
so he could sell radios. Zenith supported FM and TV to sell sets.
Gillete supports razors to sell the blades. Cable required "
critical mass" of content only possible with space technology and
Turner's type distribution. VCR/HVS needed standard tapes,
content ( video stores and movies on tape ) and a lower price.
The Internet is going through the stage where it moves from a
hobby and tool of specialist to a consumer commodity faster than
any other new technology because the infrastructure is in place,
they are creating standards as it goes along, content is
expanding as rapidly as the users. Netscape gave away the razors
and will sell the blades, in the form of servers, and office
products. Microsoft gave away ( for a few thousand dollars ) to
IBM, DOS so it could sell the contents and control the operating
systems.
RE:
The Candidate:
We all know the "system" doesn't work. Politics gets more and more unreal. We need a constitutional convention called by the states.
The reforms would be to design a more parliamentary form of government with responsible political parties, some form of proportional representation. We helped write a excellent constitution for the German Federal Republic, under General Clay's position during the occupation ( 1946 - 7 ) and we have the talent to reform ourselves. We can't expect the system in Washington to reform itself. We have to understand how the system really works and what it will take to change it.
We all have different talents. In public affairs there are those that are smart as legislators, with the complex skills of deal making, as managers, good at promoting their ideas, fixers and wheeler dealers, and some at being great candidates. Only Franklin Roosevelt was good at it all.
Bob Dole has to be one of the worse candidates in years. He has many other talents but running for office, in a media context, is not one of them. Bill Clinton is a great Candidate and has some talents in other areas.
The result is the quality of choice is very limited, almost meaningless, so people are turned off. Most other countries have stable political parties with internal discipline.
Their leaders are tested in important talents besides being a candidate. Most of the other industrial states have more reasonable governments. This gives them an advantage in bi-lateral negations, in industrial policy, in education and infrastructure, and makes others more competitive in the world economy than we are.
Money and politics:
The goal of political reform should be to take away the profit motive in our election process.
The attempts to control money by regulation is hopeless because if individuals have personal power, the market will find a way around any rules. If we had disciplined national parties, individual candidates and office holders would not have the power to shake down organizations for money.
There is
synergy
between money and politics, and we end up with the best government money can buy.
The issue is NOT only that greedy special interests bribe hungry politicians, but there is a shake down - or protection racket going on. When you need money as a candidate, you suggest some awful piece of tax policy, regulation, that would cost an industry a lot of money.
Then they pay up. In local politics the example is how sheriffs and boot leggers work together to spread the money around. Using high sounding rhetoric there are extensive rules controlling taxes, booze, drugs, land use, big budgets, contracts, grants, etc. all which give the power to benefit, or threaten and get paid off.
Individual members of parliament do not have the power to threaten or benefit contributors. But the current system can not reform itself ?
The idea is to have disciplined parties that actually preform on their campaign platform.
The candidates for a real party can's just do what ever they want once elected.
The majority of people want less government, want to take power away from Washington, want to reduce regulation, etc. but have not been ready to face this central issue, a systems problem, the way system works makes the achievement of their desires impossible. Republican committee chairmen are the same as their Democratic colleagues.
They need the power, to hurt or help, to raise the money to stay in office.

Technology is going to make the world around us smart
as we move away from proprietary architectures to a standards-based
ecology of information.
We still need a name for the UCD: UNIVERSAL COMMUNICATION DEVICE
or "information - communications - appliance - utility-
network computer, cable or wireless black box modem, play station,
boom box, CD, DVD, telephone, wireless, cordless, portable, TV,
radio, pager, laptop, notebook, library, GPS, map, yellow pages,
combat walk and talk and call in air strikes more".
The market for the bandwidth and the appliances is
global - with billions of clients world wide.
The money is in software now moving from "programs" to
content.
The content will be interactive media that includes
program functions. ISP such as AOL, will provide multimedia E-mail
as a word processor that can handle graphics, photographs, soon
video and data files.
The browser becomes a universal systems
package do all the most common functions as plug-ins.
The USB
universal serial bus ties to printers, sound and video systems,
play stations, phones, keyboards and voice commands, other
appliances and services. Microsoft-NBC-General Electric, merge
into a convergence of media and communications services. Time-Warner,
the News Corp., Disney-ABC, are positioning themselves for the
transformation of many business into one.
The current crop of
Internet stocks are unlikely to be very important.
Other business includes finance, matching buyers and sellers, and
a thousand other ideas and items.
The ISP becomes a bank and
travel agent, department store, and service center. Wal-mart,
Sears and other may need their own ISP. Clients will pay the ISP
for telephone service, cable, lease of hardware, Internet, credit,
and may buy their insurance, tickets, or dishes from a company
they trust, so it all adds up.
A limited set of functions and libraries in or around a CPU, with
the capacities of a play station, will run a package of on demand
utilities called from the network. Once there is a break in the
bandwidth, your browser can quickly call down any packages it may
need - high speed smart updates means you don’t have to have
everything stored. Office systems can do this now but are afraid
to be pioneers with arrows in their backs. Once Sun, Oracle, IBM
or others really have high performance objective networks there
will be no need for the bloated windows operation systems.
The market often is as slow as the political process in facing
the inevitable forces of technology and social history. Cartels
and semi-monopolies are the natural outcome of free competition

Scott McNealy, CEO of Sun Microsystems Inc., one could easily
draw the conclusion that most of the ills in the computer
industry stem from one company and one company only.
The charismatic McNealy used large portions of his keynote
address here Thursday at Sun's JavaOne developers conference, as
well as a subsequent press conference, to paint Microsoft Corp.
as a ruthless monopoly destroying companies and promoting a
flawed business model.
"
The market economy works until somebody gets so much market
power that they are beyond market principles," he said.
McNealy said Microsoft's monopoly on the desktop through the
Windows operating system enables it to sell "bloat"
like Office 2000 that people have to buy.
"
The other opportunity it has is to go out and buy little
companies that wouldn't normally be successful, bundle them into
their Windows or Office hairball and use their lock-in and
monopoly leverage to make them successful and drive everyone else
out of business," McNealy said. "That makes everybody
want to sell their company for a price lower than they want to
because if you're not the one bought, you're done."
One of the best examples of how new technologies can be dominated
by powerful forces that control standards was the companion
development of hardware ( Radios, phonographs, and then
television ) as well as soft ware, the programming, records and
content necessary to sell the product. People won’t buy
radios or TV if there are no stations, there can’t be
stations until people have radios or TVs. RCA supported the
networks in order to sell radios.
Then they made more from the
broadcasting then they did from hardware.

We still need a name for the UCD: UNIVERSAL COMMUNICATION DEVICE
or "information - communications - appliance - utility-
network computer, cable or wireless black box modem, play station,
boom box, CD, DVD, telephone, wireless, cordless, portable, TV,
radio, pager, laptop, notebook, library, GPS, map, yellow pages,
combat walk and talk and call in air strikes more".
The market for the bandwidth and the appliances is
global - with billions of clients world wide.
The money is in software now moving from "programs" to
content.
The content will be interactive media that includes
program functions. ISP such as AOL, will provide multimedia E-mail
as a word processor that can handle graphics, photographs, soon
video and data files.
The browser becomes a universal systems
package do all the most common functions as plug-ins.
The USB
universal serial bus ties to printers, sound and video systems,
play stations, phones, keyboards and voice commands, other
appliances and services. Microsoft-NBC-General Electric, merge
into a convergence of media and communications services. Time-Warner,
the News Corp., Disney-ABC, are positioning themselves for the
transformation of many business into one.
The current crop of
Internet stocks are unlikely to be very important.
Other business includes finance, matching buyers and sellers, and
a thousand other ideas and items.
The ISP becomes a bank and
travel agent, department store, and service center. Wal-mart,
Sears and other may need their own ISP. Clients will pay the ISP
for telephone service, cable, lease of hardware, Internet, credit,
and may buy their insurance, tickets, or dishes from a company
they trust, so it all adds up.
A limited set of functions and libraries in or around a CPU, with
the capacities of a play station, will run a package of on demand
utilities called from the network. Once there is a break in the
bandwidth, your browser can quickly call down any packages it may
need - high speed smart updates means you don’t have to have
everything stored. Office systems can do this now but are afraid
to be pioneers with arrows in their backs. Once Sun, Oracle, IBM
or others really have high performance objective networks there
will be no need for the bloated windows operation systems.
The market often is as slow as the political process in facing
the inevitable forces of technology and social history. Cartels
and semi-monopolies are the natural outcome of free competition
because organizations can join together to control markets.
The robber barons of the late 19th and early 20th century, such
as Morgan, Carnegie, Mellon, Rockefeller, Stanford, Dupont

the auto market. A U.S. Court of Appeals finds that Aluminum Co.

Sun's McNealy portrays perils of running the Wintel 'gauntlet' )
( Windows/intel )
http://www.excite.com/computers_and_internet/tech_news/zdnet/?article=zdnews2.inp
Scott McNealy, CEO of Sun Microsystems Inc., one could easily
draw the conclusion that most of the ills in the computer
industry stem from one company and one company only.
The charismatic McNealy used large portions of his keynote
address here Thursday at Sun's JavaOne developers conference, as
well as a subsequent press conference, to paint Microsoft Corp.
as a ruthless monopoly destroying companies and promoting a
flawed business model.
"
The market economy works until somebody gets so much market
power that they are beyond market principles," he said.
McNealy said Microsoft's monopoly on the desktop through the
Windows operating system enables it to sell "bloat"
like Office 2000 that people have to buy.
"
The other opportunity it has is to go out and buy little
companies that wouldn't normally be successful, bundle them into
their Windows or Office hairball and use their lock-in and
monopoly leverage to make them successful and drive everyone else
out of business," McNealy said. "That makes everybody
want to sell their company for a price lower than they want to
because if you're not the one bought, you're done."
One of the best examples of how new technologies can be dominated
by powerful forces that control standards was the companion
development of hardware ( Radios, phonographs, and then
television ) as well as soft ware, the programming, records and
content necessary to sell the product. People won’t buy
radios or TV if there are no stations, there can’t be
stations until people have radios or TVs. RCA supported the
networks in order to sell radios.
Then they made more from the
broadcasting then they did from hardware.
Sarnoff, David, 1891–1971, American radio and television
pioneer; b. Russia. He worked for the Marconi Wireless Co.,
winning recognition as the narrator of the Titanic disaster (1912).
After the Radio Corp. of America absorbed (1921) Marconi, Sarnoff
became general manager. As president (after 1930) and chairman of
the board (from 1947) of RCA, he played a major role in the
development of television.
A superheterodyne circuit developed by U.S. Army Signal Corps
major Edwin Howard Armstrong, 26, became the basic design for all
amplitude modulation (AM) radios. It greatly increases the
selectivity and sensitivity of radio receivers over a wide band
of frequencies (see 1906; FM, 1933). Radio Corp. of America (RCA)
was founded by Owen D. Young (see 1919) who loans Ernst

Scott McNealy, CEO of Sun Microsystems Inc., one could easily
draw the conclusion that most of the ills in the computer
industry stem from one company and one company only.
The charismatic McNealy used large portions of his keynote
address here Thursday at Sun's JavaOne developers conference, as
well as a subsequent press conference, to paint Microsoft Corp.
as a ruthless monopoly destroying companies and promoting a
flawed business model.
"
The market economy works until somebody gets so much market
power that they are beyond market principles," he said.
McNealy said Microsoft's monopoly on the desktop through the
Windows operating system enables it to sell "bloat"
like Office 2000 that people have to buy.
"
The other opportunity it has is to go out and buy little
companies that wouldn't normally be successful, bundle them into
their Windows or Office hairball and use their lock-in and
monopoly leverage to make them successful and drive everyone else
out of business," McNealy said. "That makes everybody
want to sell their company for a price lower than they want to
because if you're not the one bought, you're done."
One of the best examples of how new technologies can be dominated
by powerful forces that control standards was the companion
development of hardware ( Radios, phonographs, and then
television ) as well as soft ware, the programming, records and
content necessary to sell the product. People won’t buy
radios or TV if there are no stations, there can’t be
stations until people have radios or TVs. RCA supported the
networks in order to sell radios.
Then they made more from the
broadcasting then they did from hardware.
Sarnoff, David, 1891–1971, American radio and television
pioneer; b. Russia. He worked for the Marconi Wireless Co.,
winning recognition as the narrator of the Titanic disaster (1912).
After the Radio Corp. of America absorbed (1921) Marconi, Sarnoff
became general manager. As president (after 1930) and chairman of
the board (from 1947) of RCA, he played a major role in the
development of television.
A superheterodyne circuit developed by U.S. Army Signal Corps
major Edwin Howard Armstrong, 26, became the basic design for all
amplitude modulation (AM) radios. It greatly increases the
selectivity and sensitivity of radio receivers over a wide band
of frequencies (see 1906; FM, 1933). Radio Corp. of America (RCA)
was founded by Owen D. Young (see 1919) who loans Ernst
Alexanderson to RCA which will employ him as chief engineer for 5
years (see 1906). RCA acquired the Victor Co. and become a radio-phonograph
colossus but anti-trust court actions will separate RCA from GE (see
VICTROLA, 1906; NBC, 1926). David Sarnoff urges marketing of a
simple "radio music box."
The American Marconi Co. says
his plan will make the radio "a ‘household utility’
in the same sense as the piano or phonograph" (see 1912;
1920).

Scott McNealy, CEO of Sun Microsystems Inc., one could easily
draw the conclusion that most of the ills in the computer
industry stem from one company and one company only.
The charismatic McNealy used large portions of his keynote
address here Thursday at Sun's JavaOne developers conference, as
well as a subsequent press conference, to paint Microsoft Corp.
as a ruthless monopoly destroying companies and promoting a
flawed business model.
"
The market economy works until somebody gets so much market
power that they are beyond market principles," he said.
McNealy said Microsoft's monopoly on the desktop through the
Windows operating system enables it to sell "bloat"
like Office 2000 that people have to buy.
"
The other opportunity it has is to go out and buy little
companies that wouldn't normally be successful, bundle them into
their Windows or Office hairball and use their lock-in and
monopoly leverage to make them successful and drive everyone else
out of business," McNealy said. "That makes everybody
want to sell their company for a price lower than they want to
because if you're not the one bought, you're done."
One of the best examples of how new technologies can be dominated
by powerful forces that control standards was the companion
development of hardware ( Radios, phonographs, and then
television ) as well as soft ware, the programming, records and
content necessary to sell the product. People won’t buy
radios or TV if there are no stations, there can’t be
stations until people have radios or TVs. RCA supported the
networks in order to sell radios.
Then they made more from the
broadcasting then they did from hardware.
Sarnoff, David, 1891–1971, American radio and television
pioneer; b. Russia. He worked for the Marconi Wireless Co.,
winning recognition as the narrator of the Titanic disaster (1912).
After the Radio Corp. of America absorbed (1921) Marconi, Sarnoff
became general manager. As president (after 1930) and chairman of
the board (from 1947) of RCA, he played a major role in the
development of television.
A superheterodyne circuit developed by U.S. Army Signal Corps
major Edwin Howard Armstrong, 26, became the basic design for all
amplitude modulation (AM) radios. It greatly increases the
selectivity and sensitivity of radio receivers over a wide band
of frequencies (see 1906; FM, 1933). Radio Corp. of America (RCA)
was founded by Owen D. Young (see 1919) who loans Ernst
Alexanderson to RCA which will employ him as chief engineer for 5
years (see 1906). RCA acquired the Victor Co. and become a radio-phonograph
colossus but anti-trust court actions will separate RCA from GE (see
VICTROLA, 1906; NBC, 1926). David Sarnoff urges marketing of a
simple "radio music box."
The American Marconi Co. says
his plan will make the radio "a ‘household utility’
in the same sense as the piano or phonograph" (see 1912;
1920).

The market often is as slow as the political process in facing
the inevitable forces of technology and social history. Cartels
and semi-monopolies are the natural outcome of free competition
because organizations can join together to control markets.

as Morgan, Carnegie, Mellon, Rockefeller, Stanford, Dupont

draw the conclusion that most of the ills in the computer
industry stem from one company and one company only.
The charismatic McNealy used large portions of his keynote
address here Thursday at Sun's JavaOne developers conference, as
well as a subsequent press conference, to paint Microsoft Corp.
as a ruthless monopoly destroying companies and promoting a
flawed business model.
"
The market economy works until somebody gets so much market
power that they are beyond market principles," he said.
McNealy said Microsoft's monopoly on the desktop through the
Windows operating system enables it to sell "bloat"
like Office 2000 that people have to buy.
"
The other opportunity it has is to go out and buy little
companies that wouldn't normally be successful, bundle them into
their Windows or Office hairball and use their lock-in and
monopoly leverage to make them successful and drive everyone else
out of business," McNealy said. "That makes everybody
want to sell their company for a price lower than they want to
because if you're not the one bought, you're done."
One of the best examples of how new technologies can be dominated
by powerful forces that control standards was the companion
development of hardware ( Radios, phonographs, and then
television ) as well as soft ware, the programming, records and
content necessary to sell the product. People won’t buy
radios or TV if there are no stations, there can’t be
stations until people have radios or TVs. RCA supported the
networks in order to sell radios.
Then they made more from the
broadcasting then they did from hardware.
Sarnoff, David, 1891–1971, American radio and television
pioneer; b. Russia. He worked for the Marconi Wireless Co.,
winning recognition as the narrator of the Titanic disaster (1912).
After the Radio Corp. of America absorbed (1921) Marconi, Sarnoff
became general manager. As president (after 1930) and chairman of
the board (from 1947) of RCA, he played a major role in the
development of television.
A superheterodyne circuit developed by U.S. Army Signal Corps
major Edwin Howard Armstrong, 26, became the basic design for all
amplitude modulation (AM) radios. It greatly increases the
selectivity and sensitivity of radio receivers over a wide band
of frequencies (see 1906; FM, 1933). Radio Corp. of America (RCA)
was founded by Owen D. Young (see 1919) who loans Ernst
Alexanderson to RCA which will employ him as chief engineer for 5
years (see 1906). RCA acquired the Victor Co. and become a radio-phonograph
colossus but anti-trust court actions will separate RCA from GE (see
VICTROLA, 1906; NBC, 1926). David Sarnoff urges marketing of a
simple "radio music box."
The American Marconi Co. says
his plan will make the radio "a ‘household utility’
in the same sense as the piano or phonograph" (see 1912;
1920).
American radio and television pioneer who proposed the first
commercial radio receiver and in 1926 formed the National

The first vinylite phonograph record
appears in October. RCA-Victor issues a new recording of the 1895

vinylite will not displace shellac until the perfection of long-playing
records (see 1948).

The market economy works until somebody gets so much market
power that they are beyond market principles," he said.
McNealy said Microsoft's monopoly on the desktop through the
Windows operating system enables it to sell "bloat"
like Office 2000 that people have to buy.
"
The other opportunity it has is to go out and buy little
companies that wouldn't normally be successful, bundle them into
their Windows or Office hairball and use their lock-in and
monopoly leverage to make them successful and drive everyone else
out of business," McNealy said. "That makes everybody
want to sell their company for a price lower than they want to
because if you're not the one bought, you're done."
One of the best examples of how new technologies can be dominated
by powerful forces that control standards was the companion
development of hardware ( Radios, phonographs, and then
television ) as well as soft ware, the programming, records and
content necessary to sell the product. People won’t buy
radios or TV if there are no stations, there can’t be
stations until people have radios or TVs. RCA supported the
networks in order to sell radios.
Then they made more from the
broadcasting then they did from hardware.

A superheterodyne circuit developed by U.S. Army Signal Corps

was founded by Owen D. Young (see 1919) who loans Ernst
Alexanderson to RCA which will employ him as chief engineer for 5
years (see 1906). RCA acquired the Victor Co. and become a radio-phonograph
colossus but anti-trust court actions will separate RCA from GE (see
VICTROLA, 1906; NBC, 1926). David Sarnoff urges marketing of a
simple "radio music box."

Sarnoff, David, 1891–1971, American radio and television
pioneer; b. Russia. He worked for the Marconi Wireless Co.,
winning recognition as the narrator of the Titanic disaster (1912).
After the Radio Corp. of America absorbed (1921) Marconi, Sarnoff
became general manager. As president (after 1930) and chairman of
the board (from 1947) of RCA, he played a major role in the
development of television.
A superheterodyne circuit developed by U.S. Army Signal Corps
major Edwin Howard Armstrong, 26, became the basic design for all
amplitude modulation (AM) radios. It greatly increases the
selectivity and sensitivity of radio receivers over a wide band
of frequencies (see 1906; FM, 1933). Radio Corp. of America (RCA)
was founded by Owen D. Young (see 1919) who loans Ernst
Alexanderson to RCA which will employ him as chief engineer for 5
years (see 1906). RCA acquired the Victor Co. and become a radio-phonograph
colossus but anti-trust court actions will separate RCA from GE (see

Atomic physics involves models that are not intuitive - even counter- intuitive.
Most people who have ever lived on this planet, were born and died within a fifty mile range.
Their perceptions are defined within what is called a tribal culture - part real and part superstition. Applied rational knowledge is fairly modern as a cultural style and still not seriously or firmly established as a norm.
The irrational base of human understanding is clearly demonstrated by politics and commercials.
NOW as we enter into a global technical society our social world is as little understood as the physical.
The new world order - lacks a vision or social psychological foundation.

The technology itself is revolutionary.
The global economy requires new models of thought. It’s not surprising that it is difficult and there is a lot of active and passive resistance.
The leaders and leading institutions often don’t get it. Non-liner, transactional, mutually dependent rapid change appears to many as anarchy and chaos - morally questionable and in conflict with traditional values. That is because global transformations are a real revolution. Serious changes are disruptive of the existing order.

It seems that
Bill underestimated the speed but not the direction
of the intra-nets and inter-nets.
The central point that it should be easy using the http format
to have full integration of the office suite. He assumed as did most people that it will take mid-band connections ( up to 10 times faster than the dial up ) to run video. And there he is on video ( not very good video but video ). IDNS line prices are dropping.

Dr Edward de Bono is widely regarded internationally as the leading thinker about thinking. He is the
organiser of lateral thinking, the widely used Six Hats method, water logic (and flowscapes) and the
CoRT programme for the direct teaching of thinking in schools. He has written over fifty books with
translations into twenty-eight languages and has made two TV series. He was a Rhodes Scholar at
Oxford and has held faculty appointments at the universities of Oxford, Cambridge, London and
Harvard. A recent compilation of the 250 most significant contributors to human development in the
history of the human race includes Dr de Bono.
His ideas are based directly on an understanding of the human mind a self-organising information system. He believes that our traditional habits of thinking are no longer sufficient in a changing world.
Edward de Bono's recent best-sellers include Teach Your Child How to Think, Water Logic and Parallel Thinking.

The effort to stay "up-to-date" in the Internet business and the
INTRA-net, office suite applications, connecting MS Office 96 to
the Internet maybe of greater financial importance than the "pop"
culture on the web. BUT..BUT.. it's a jungle out there.
"Market.htm
These new methods will have a immense impact on education and a
lot of other things we do. In all case you need to look for
yourself to get the feel of what this is all about. Take the
tour.
The two developments that are important right now are Narrative
Communications (
www.narrative.com ) and WEBTV (
www.webtv.net ).
It is moving so fast that the news programs can't keep up except
maybe POINTCAST visual (
www.pointcast.com ) and Timecast (
www.timecast.com ) real audio services. That is the point.
Yesterdays news is not good enough, people have to make choices
every day and it gets harder and harder. What ever you think
today will be different soon.
The big time MEDIA companies ( Sony, Time/Warner, CNN, NBC
Microsoft ) thought the real interactive stuff would have to wait
on " broad band " cable or direct T.V., or cell phone type
microwave systems or maybe cheap high quality phone lines. Who
knows ? Take a look at the demo of WebTV and CNN interactive.
There we are with our cable, we turn on a channel, and there is
the Internet ( controlled with Surfwatch so our kids won't look
at the nasty stuff ) with E-mail, all it's resources. What's the
difference with what I am doing now ? What about the word
processor, the FTP and IRC ( chat ), maybe all in the TV version
of Netscape.
The Sony box maybe a little as $150.00 with game
port windows.
The big difference is video at full speed.
The Word
Processor can be downloaded in seconds so I don't have to have it
on a hard drive. I guess - but I don't like it - It doesn't
matter if we like it or not .. it's like hurricane Bertha, it's
going to do what it is going to do and there is nothing I can do
about it, except flee or face it. It turned out to be more hype
that any real problem for Florida.
TODAY'S Example: From the what's cool button on Netscape Browser.
NARRATIVE COMMUNICATIONS
No more waiting for graphics and audio files to download - Narrative's Enliven viewer, a Netscape Navigator plug-in for Windows, gives you streaming multimedia on the Web.
Now you need to down load the plug-in and use Netscape 2 - does not work yet on Gold 3 ( I had to get a copy from 205.218.156.36 the netscape ftp, much faster than their download pages )
Then it worked ( after several tries and a reboot ) plays a video type CD talking page.
The stream in real audio has now become a video play with buffer. Rather than download, setup application and play - it can run off the web pages. GO TO the TOUR for examples.
Look at the Cable systems alternative:

RE:
The
Bermuda TRIANGLE:
The explanation for the "Bermuda triangle" phenomena is that
there is nothing to explain.
There is no marvel because there is
no statistical difference.
The explanation to the RASH of Black
Church fires may be the same. No more boats or planes ( given the
traffic ) disappear in the Bermuda triangle than anywhere else
and the number of wooden church fires has not increased. In is
all in the perspective.
Most of what happened to public education is that:
The number of "special needs" children from 3 % to 18 % and
growing rapidly and use up time and resources. While the average
child gets 3 or 4 thousand in services ( 50 % used up in overhead
) special needs children average 15 thousand. Learning
disabilities, Attention Deficit Disorder, Behavioral problems,
Teen Age Mothers, all suffer from the Bermuda Triangle syndrome -
regular events are treated as exceptional and extra- ordinary -
there is no problem there in most cases, the kid is fine the
system stinks. A rose is a rose,
Gertrute Stein wrote, she also said
about someplace, I think LA, that there is no there - there. )
But each disability has a powerful lobby.
# the number of children from single (and divorced) households
increased almost an order of magnitude from 5% to 35 % of the
total.
# Television does brain damage, ( really ) especially to young
children.
# the top 25 % of academic talent stopped becoming teachers in
public schools as other career opportunities became open to
women,
# the number of well paying semi-skilled industrial jobs has been
cut in half,
# more children stayed in schools longer with the expectation of
going to college, but without motivation or academic interest or
talent,
# and the military became much more selective.
# Well meaning legislation, such as
The American with
Disabilities Act have created a paper war, ESOL ( English for
Speakers of Other Languages ) is a nightmare, and that is only
one of dozens of 'special this' and 'required that' which tie the
system into knots and divert need attention from helping kids
learn to learn. Case law has added more problems and makes everyone
too worried.
The American comprehensive high school mostly prepared factory
workers, ( Suburbs offered academic schools for upper middle
class parents ) lower middle class women found teaching a social
step up, and boys in trouble went to work or to the military.
Now teaching is a low status factory job, boys in trouble cause
trouble ( a lot more violent because of T.V. and single parents )
..
SO the answer is....
Small, smart, stable schools that meet the social biological
needs of children. ( District # 5 in NYC )
Military or CCC detachments of young men that would end up in
jail - not just boot camps but two years of military type service
for anyone that wanted to join ( or go to jail - a choice parents
and Judges used to use a lot ).
National Schools for talented:
National magnate schools foundation, ( and teacher training
institutes ) were the teachers are federal civil servants paid
and treated as professionals would be a model and a good start,
like in North Carolina. Started for the 1 % "genius" these
schools could moving toward the 5 % of children doing world
class academic work, especially in science, engineering and math.
The crisis of the Talent gap could promote a national set of
pattern schools, as lab schools, test beds R & D centers.
The regional
educational labs should always have had a school of their own.
University schools could be more important. Private models can be
used.
National
Charter schools could escape from the petty fogging
bureaucracy of state departments of education. I have one in
mind.

The time between invention and mass production is the period
where the "infrastructure" ( stuff underneath ) and standards are
established. Railroads requited finance, rights of way, standard
gages, stations, coal and all kinds of industrial capacity.
Auto's that Henry Ford changed from a rich mans hobby into mass
market require a complex infrastructure of roads, gas stations,
regulation, etc..
T.V. had the same problem as the Internet, first the quality had
to be good enough, the price low enough, and their had to be
something on it. General Sarnoff ( RCA ) promoted radio stations
so he could sell radios. Zenith supported FM and TV to sell sets.
Gillete supports razors to sell the blades. Cable required "
critical mass" of content only possible with space technology and
Turner's type distribution. VCR/HVS needed standard tapes,
content ( video stores and movies on tape ) and a lower price.
The Internet is going through the stage where it moves from a
hobby and tool of specialist to a consumer commodity faster than
any other new technology because the infrastructure is in place,
they are creating standards as it goes along, content is
expanding as rapidly as the users. Netscape gave away the razors
and will sell the blades, in the form of servers, and office
products. Microsoft gave away ( for a few thousand dollars ) to
IBM, DOS so it could sell the contents and control the operating
systems.
RE:
The Candidate:
We all know the "system" doesn't work. Politics gets more and more unreal. We need a constitutional convention called by the states.
The reforms would be to design a more parliamentary form of government with responsible political parties, some form of proportional representation. We helped write a excellent constitution for the German Federal Republic, under General Clay's position during the occupation ( 1946 - 7 ) and we have the talent to reform ourselves. We can't expect the system in Washington to reform itself. We have to understand how the system really works and what it will take to change it.
We all have different talents. In public affairs there are those that are smart as legislators, with the complex skills of deal making, as managers, good at promoting their ideas, fixers and wheeler dealers, and some at being great candidates. Only Franklin Roosevelt was good at it all.
Bob Dole has to be one of the worse candidates in years. He has many other talents but running for office, in a media context, is not one of them. Bill Clinton is a great Candidate and has some talents in other areas.
The result is the quality of choice is very limited, almost meaningless, so people are turned off. Most other countries have stable political parties with internal discipline.
Their leaders are tested in important talents besides being a candidate. Most of the other industrial states have more reasonable governments. This gives them an advantage in bi-lateral negations, in industrial policy, in education and infrastructure, and makes others more competitive in the world economy than we are.
Money and politics:
The goal of political reform should be to take away the profit motive in our election process.
The attempts to control money by regulation is hopeless because if individuals have personal power, the market will find a way around any rules. If we had disciplined national parties, individual candidates and office holders would not have the power to shake down organizations for money.
There is
synergy
between money and politics, and we end up with the best government money can buy.
The issue is NOT only that greedy special interests bribe hungry politicians, but there is a shake down - or protection racket going on. When you need money as a candidate, you suggest some awful piece of tax policy, regulation, that would cost an industry a lot of money.
Then they pay up. In local politics the example is how sheriffs and boot leggers work together to spread the money around. Using high sounding rhetoric there are extensive rules controlling taxes, booze, drugs, land use, big budgets, contracts, grants, etc. all which give the power to benefit, or threaten and get paid off.
Individual members of parliament do not have the power to threaten or benefit contributors. But the current system can not reform itself ?
The idea is to have disciplined parties that actually preform on their campaign platform.
The candidates for a real party can's just do what ever they want once elected.
The majority of people want less government, want to take power away from Washington, want to reduce regulation, etc. but have not been ready to face this central issue, a systems problem, the way system works makes the achievement of their desires impossible. Republican committee chairmen are the same as their Democratic colleagues.
They need the power, to hurt or help, to raise the money to stay in office.

Yesterdays news is not good enough, people have to make choices
every day and it gets harder and harder. What ever you think
today will be different soon.
The big time MEDIA companies ( Sony, Time/Warner, CNN, NBC
Microsoft ) thought the real interactive stuff would have to wait
on " broad band " cable or direct T.V., or cell phone type
microwave systems or maybe cheap high quality phone lines. Who
knows ? Take a look at the demo of WebTV and CNN interactive.
There we are with our cable, we turn on a channel, and there is
the Internet ( controlled with Surfwatch so our kids won't look
at the nasty stuff ) with E-mail, all it's resources. What's the
difference with what I am doing now ? What about the word
processor, the FTP and IRC ( chat ), maybe all in the TV version
of Netscape.
The Sony box maybe a little as $150.00 with game

The big difference is video at full speed.
The Word

The
Bermuda TRIANGLE:
The explanation for the "Bermuda triangle" phenomena is that
there is nothing to explain.
There is no marvel because there is
no statistical difference.
The explanation to the RASH of Black
Church fires may be the same. No more boats or planes ( given the
traffic ) disappear in the Bermuda triangle than anywhere else
and the number of wooden church fires has not increased. In is
all in the perspective.
Most of what happened to public education is that:
The number of "special needs" children from 3 % to 18 % and
growing rapidly and use up time and resources. While the average
child gets 3 or 4 thousand in services ( 50 % used up in overhead
) special needs children average 15 thousand. Learning
disabilities, Attention Deficit Disorder, Behavioral problems,
Teen Age Mothers, all suffer from the Bermuda Triangle syndrome -
regular events are treated as exceptional and extra- ordinary -
there is no problem there in most cases, the kid is fine the
system stinks. A rose is a rose,
Gertrute Stein wrote, she also said
about someplace, I think LA, that there is no there - there. )
But each disability has a powerful lobby.
# the number of children from single (and divorced) households
increased almost an order of magnitude from 5% to 35 % of the
total.
# Television does brain damage, ( really ) especially to young
children.
# the top 25 % of academic talent stopped becoming teachers in
public schools as other career opportunities became open to
women,
# the number of well paying semi-skilled industrial jobs has been
cut in half,
# more children stayed in schools longer with the expectation of
going to college, but without motivation or academic interest or
talent,
# and the military became much more selective.
# Well meaning legislation, such as
The American with
Disabilities Act have created a paper war, ESOL ( English for
Speakers of Other Languages ) is a nightmare, and that is only
one of dozens of 'special this' and 'required that' which tie the
system into knots and divert need attention from helping kids
learn to learn. Case law has added more problems and makes everyone
too worried.
The American comprehensive high school mostly prepared factory
workers, ( Suburbs offered academic schools for upper middle
class parents ) lower middle class women found teaching a social
step up, and boys in trouble went to work or to the military.
Now teaching is a low status factory job, boys in trouble cause
trouble ( a lot more violent because of T.V. and single parents )
..
SO the answer is....
Small, smart, stable schools that meet the social biological
needs of children. ( District # 5 in NYC )
Military or CCC detachments of young men that would end up in
jail - not just boot camps but two years of military type service
for anyone that wanted to join ( or go to jail - a choice parents
and Judges used to use a lot ).
National Schools for talented:
National magnate schools foundation, ( and teacher training
institutes ) were the teachers are federal civil servants paid
and treated as professionals would be a model and a good start,
like in North Carolina. Started for the 1 % "genius" these
schools could moving toward the 5 % of children doing world
class academic work, especially in science, engineering and math.
The crisis of the Talent gap could promote a national set of

The time between invention and mass production is the period
where the "infrastructure" ( stuff underneath ) and standards are
established. Railroads requited finance, rights of way, standard
gages, stations, coal and all kinds of industrial capacity.
Auto's that Henry Ford changed from a rich mans hobby into mass
market require a complex infrastructure of roads, gas stations,
regulation, etc..
T.V. had the same problem as the Internet, first the quality had
to be good enough, the price low enough, and their had to be
something on it. General Sarnoff ( RCA ) promoted radio stations
so he could sell radios. Zenith supported FM and TV to sell sets.
Gillete supports razors to sell the blades. Cable required "
critical mass" of content only possible with space technology and
Turner's type distribution. VCR/HVS needed standard tapes,
content ( video stores and movies on tape ) and a lower price.
The Internet is going through the stage where it moves from a
hobby and tool of specialist to a consumer commodity faster than
any other new technology because the infrastructure is in place,
they are creating standards as it goes along, content is
expanding as rapidly as the users. Netscape gave away the razors
and will sell the blades, in the form of servers, and office
products. Microsoft gave away ( for a few thousand dollars ) to
IBM, DOS so it could sell the contents and control the operating
systems.
RE:
The Candidate:
We all know the "system" doesn't work. Politics gets more and more unreal. We need a constitutional convention called by the states.
The reforms would be to design a more parliamentary form of government with responsible political parties, some form of proportional representation. We helped write a excellent constitution for the German Federal Republic, under General Clay's position during the occupation ( 1946 - 7 ) and we have the talent to reform ourselves. We can't expect the system in Washington to reform itself. We have to understand how the system really works and what it will take to change it.
We all have different talents. In public affairs there are those that are smart as legislators, with the complex skills of deal making, as managers, good at promoting their ideas, fixers and wheeler dealers, and some at being great candidates. Only Franklin Roosevelt was good at it all.
Bob Dole has to be one of the worse candidates in years. He has many other talents but running for office, in a media context, is not one of them. Bill Clinton is a great Candidate and has some talents in other areas.
The result is the quality of choice is very limited, almost meaningless, so people are turned off. Most other countries have stable political parties with internal discipline.
Their leaders are tested in important talents besides being a candidate. Most of the other industrial states have more reasonable governments. This gives them an advantage in bi-lateral negations, in industrial policy, in education and infrastructure, and makes others more competitive in the world economy than we are.
Money and politics:
The goal of political reform should be to take away the profit motive in our election process.
The attempts to control money by regulation is hopeless because if individuals have personal power, the market will find a way around any rules. If we had disciplined national parties, individual candidates and office holders would not have the power to shake down organizations for money.
There is
synergy
between money and politics, and we end up with the best government money can buy.
The issue is NOT only that greedy special interests bribe hungry politicians, but there is a shake down - or protection racket going on. When you need money as a candidate, you suggest some awful piece of tax policy, regulation, that would cost an industry a lot of money.
Then they pay up. In local politics the example is how sheriffs and boot leggers work together to spread the money around. Using high sounding rhetoric there are extensive rules controlling taxes, booze, drugs, land use, big budgets, contracts, grants, etc. all which give the power to benefit, or threaten and get paid off.
Individual members of parliament do not have the power to threaten or benefit contributors. But the current system can not reform itself ?
The idea is to have disciplined parties that actually preform on their campaign platform.
The candidates for a real party can's just do what ever they want once elected.
The majority of people want less government, want to take power away from Washington, want to reduce regulation, etc. but have not been ready to face this central issue, a systems problem, the way system works makes the achievement of their desires impossible. Republican committee chairmen are the same as their Democratic colleagues.
They need the power, to hurt or help, to raise the money to stay in office.

The American comprehensive high school mostly prepared factory

RE:
The Candidate:
We all know the "system" doesn't work. Politics gets more and more unreal. We need a constitutional convention called by the states.
The reforms would be to design a more parliamentary form of government with responsible political parties, some form of proportional representation. We helped write a excellent constitution for the German Federal Republic, under General Clay's position during the occupation ( 1946 - 7 ) and we have the talent to reform ourselves. We can't expect the system in Washington to reform itself. We have to understand how the system really works and what it will take to change it.
We all have different talents. In public affairs there are those that are smart as legislators, with the complex skills of deal making, as managers, good at promoting their ideas, fixers and wheeler dealers, and some at being great candidates. Only Franklin Roosevelt was good at it all.
Bob Dole has to be one of the worse candidates in years. He has many other talents but running for office, in a media context, is not one of them. Bill Clinton is a great Candidate and has some talents in other areas.
The result is the quality of choice is very limited, almost meaningless, so people are turned off. Most other countries have stable political parties with internal discipline.
Their leaders are tested in important talents besides being a candidate. Most of the other industrial states have more reasonable governments. This gives them an advantage in bi-lateral negations, in industrial policy, in education and infrastructure, and makes others more competitive in the world economy than we are.
Money and politics:
The goal of political reform should be to take away the profit motive in our election process.
The attempts to control money by regulation is hopeless because if individuals have personal power, the market will find a way around any rules. If we had disciplined national parties, individual candidates and office holders would not have the power to shake down organizations for money.
There is
synergy
between money and politics, and we end up with the best government money can buy.
The issue is NOT only that greedy special interests bribe hungry politicians, but there is a shake down - or protection racket going on. When you need money as a candidate, you suggest some awful piece of tax policy, regulation, that would cost an industry a lot of money.
Then they pay up. In local politics the example is how sheriffs and boot leggers work together to spread the money around. Using high sounding rhetoric there are extensive rules controlling taxes, booze, drugs, land use, big budgets, contracts, grants, etc. all which give the power to benefit, or threaten and get paid off.
Individual members of parliament do not have the power to threaten or benefit contributors. But the current system can not reform itself ?
The idea is to have disciplined parties that actually preform on their campaign platform.
The candidates for a real party can's just do what ever they want once elected.
The majority of people want less government, want to take power away from Washington, want to reduce regulation, etc. but have not been ready to face this central issue, a systems problem, the way system works makes the achievement of their desires impossible. Republican committee chairmen are the same as their Democratic colleagues.
They need the power, to hurt or help, to raise the money to stay in office.

organiser of lateral thinking, the widely used Six Hats method, water logic (and flowscapes) and the
CoRT programme for the direct teaching of thinking in schools. He has written over fifty books with
translations into twenty-eight languages and has made two TV series. He was a Rhodes Scholar at
Oxford and has held faculty appointments at the universities of Oxford, Cambridge, London and
Harvard. A recent compilation of the 250 most significant contributors to human development in the
history of the human race includes Dr de Bono.
His ideas are based directly on an understanding of the human mind a self-organising information system. He believes that our traditional habits of thinking are no longer sufficient in a changing world.
Edward de Bono's recent best-sellers include Teach Your Child How to Think, Water Logic and Parallel Thinking.
Now there is a series of products that can come to market at

These new methods will have a immense impact on education and a
lot of other things we do. In all case you need to look for
yourself to get the feel of what this is all about. Take the
tour.
The two developments that are important right now are Narrative
Communications (

www.webtv.net ).
It is moving so fast that the news programs can't keep up except
maybe POINTCAST visual (
www.pointcast.com ) and Timecast (
www.timecast.com ) real audio services. That is the point.
Yesterdays news is not good enough, people have to make choices
every day and it gets harder and harder. What ever you think
today will be different soon.
The big time MEDIA companies ( Sony, Time/Warner, CNN, NBC
Microsoft ) thought the real interactive stuff would have to wait
on " broad band " cable or direct T.V., or cell phone type
microwave systems or maybe cheap high quality phone lines. Who
knows ? Take a look at the demo of WebTV and CNN interactive.
There we are with our cable, we turn on a channel, and there is
the Internet ( controlled with Surfwatch so our kids won't look
at the nasty stuff ) with E-mail, all it's resources. What's the
difference with what I am doing now ? What about the word
processor, the FTP and IRC ( chat ), maybe all in the TV version
of Netscape.
The Sony box maybe a little as $150.00 with game
port windows.
The big difference is video at full speed.
The Word
Processor can be downloaded in seconds so I don't have to have it
on a hard drive. I guess - but I don't like it - It doesn't
matter if we like it or not .. it's like hurricane Bertha, it's
going to do what it is going to do and there is nothing I can do

No more waiting for graphics and audio files to download - Narrative's Enliven viewer, a Netscape Navigator plug-in for Windows, gives you streaming multimedia on the Web.

Then it worked ( after several tries and a reboot ) plays a video type CD talking page.

RE:
The
Bermuda TRIANGLE:
The explanation for the "Bermuda triangle" phenomena is that
there is nothing to explain.
There is no marvel because there is
no statistical difference.
The explanation to the RASH of Black
Church fires may be the same. No more boats or planes ( given the
traffic ) disappear in the Bermuda triangle than anywhere else
and the number of wooden church fires has not increased. In is
all in the perspective.
Most of what happened to public education is that:
The number of "special needs" children from 3 % to 18 % and
growing rapidly and use up time and resources. While the average
child gets 3 or 4 thousand in services ( 50 % used up in overhead
) special needs children average 15 thousand. Learning
disabilities, Attention Deficit Disorder, Behavioral problems,
Teen Age Mothers, all suffer from the Bermuda Triangle syndrome -
regular events are treated as exceptional and extra- ordinary -
there is no problem there in most cases, the kid is fine the
system stinks. A rose is a rose,
Gertrute Stein wrote, she also said
about someplace, I think LA, that there is no there - there. )
But each disability has a powerful lobby.
# the number of children from single (and divorced) households
increased almost an order of magnitude from 5% to 35 % of the
total.
# Television does brain damage, ( really ) especially to young
children.
# the top 25 % of academic talent stopped becoming teachers in
public schools as other career opportunities became open to
women,
# the number of well paying semi-skilled industrial jobs has been
cut in half,
# more children stayed in schools longer with the expectation of
going to college, but without motivation or academic interest or
talent,
# and the military became much more selective.
# Well meaning legislation, such as
The American with
Disabilities Act have created a paper war, ESOL ( English for
Speakers of Other Languages ) is a nightmare, and that is only
one of dozens of 'special this' and 'required that' which tie the
system into knots and divert need attention from helping kids
learn to learn. Case law has added more problems and makes everyone
too worried.
The American comprehensive high school mostly prepared factory
workers, ( Suburbs offered academic schools for upper middle
class parents ) lower middle class women found teaching a social
step up, and boys in trouble went to work or to the military.
Now teaching is a low status factory job, boys in trouble cause
trouble ( a lot more violent because of T.V. and single parents )
..
SO the answer is....
Small, smart, stable schools that meet the social biological
needs of children. ( District # 5 in NYC )
Military or CCC detachments of young men that would end up in
jail - not just boot camps but two years of military type service
for anyone that wanted to join ( or go to jail - a choice parents
and Judges used to use a lot ).
National Schools for talented:
National magnate schools foundation, ( and teacher training
institutes ) were the teachers are federal civil servants paid
and treated as professionals would be a model and a good start,
like in North Carolina. Started for the 1 % "genius" these
schools could moving toward the 5 % of children doing world
class academic work, especially in science, engineering and math.
The crisis of the Talent gap could promote a national set of
pattern schools, as lab schools, test beds R & D centers.
The regional
educational labs should always have had a school of their own.
University schools could be more important. Private models can be
used.
National
Charter schools could escape from the petty fogging
bureaucracy of state departments of education. I have one in
mind.

The time between invention and mass production is the period
where the "infrastructure" ( stuff underneath ) and standards are
established. Railroads requited finance, rights of way, standard
gages, stations, coal and all kinds of industrial capacity.
Auto's that Henry Ford changed from a rich mans hobby into mass
market require a complex infrastructure of roads, gas stations,
regulation, etc..
T.V. had the same problem as the Internet, first the quality had
to be good enough, the price low enough, and their had to be
something on it. General Sarnoff ( RCA ) promoted radio stations
so he could sell radios. Zenith supported FM and TV to sell sets.
Gillete supports razors to sell the blades. Cable required "
critical mass" of content only possible with space technology and
Turner's type distribution. VCR/HVS needed standard tapes,
content ( video stores and movies on tape ) and a lower price.
The Internet is going through the stage where it moves from a
hobby and tool of specialist to a consumer commodity faster than
any other new technology because the infrastructure is in place,
they are creating standards as it goes along, content is
expanding as rapidly as the users. Netscape gave away the razors
and will sell the blades, in the form of servers, and office
products. Microsoft gave away ( for a few thousand dollars ) to
IBM, DOS so it could sell the contents and control the operating
systems.
RE:
The Candidate:
We all know the "system" doesn't work. Politics gets more and more unreal. We need a constitutional convention called by the states.
The reforms would be to design a more parliamentary form of government with responsible political parties, some form of proportional representation. We helped write a excellent constitution for the German Federal Republic, under General Clay's position during the occupation ( 1946 - 7 ) and we have the talent to reform ourselves. We can't expect the system in Washington to reform itself. We have to understand how the system really works and what it will take to change it.
We all have different talents. In public affairs there are those that are smart as legislators, with the complex skills of deal making, as managers, good at promoting their ideas, fixers and wheeler dealers, and some at being great candidates. Only Franklin Roosevelt was good at it all.
Bob Dole has to be one of the worse candidates in years. He has many other talents but running for office, in a media context, is not one of them. Bill Clinton is a great Candidate and has some talents in other areas.
The result is the quality of choice is very limited, almost meaningless, so people are turned off. Most other countries have stable political parties with internal discipline.
Their leaders are tested in important talents besides being a candidate. Most of the other industrial states have more reasonable governments. This gives them an advantage in bi-lateral negations, in industrial policy, in education and infrastructure, and makes others more competitive in the world economy than we are.
Money and politics:
The goal of political reform should be to take away the profit motive in our election process.
The attempts to control money by regulation is hopeless because if individuals have personal power, the market will find a way around any rules. If we had disciplined national parties, individual candidates and office holders would not have the power to shake down organizations for money.
There is
synergy
between money and politics, and we end up with the best government money can buy.
The issue is NOT only that greedy special interests bribe hungry politicians, but there is a shake down - or protection racket going on. When you need money as a candidate, you suggest some awful piece of tax policy, regulation, that would cost an industry a lot of money.
Then they pay up. In local politics the example is how sheriffs and boot leggers work together to spread the money around. Using high sounding rhetoric there are extensive rules controlling taxes, booze, drugs, land use, big budgets, contracts, grants, etc. all which give the power to benefit, or threaten and get paid off.
Individual members of parliament do not have the power to threaten or benefit contributors. But the current system can not reform itself ?
The idea is to have disciplined parties that actually preform on their campaign platform.
The candidates for a real party can's just do what ever they want once elected.
The majority of people want less government, want to take power away from Washington, want to reduce regulation, etc. but have not been ready to face this central issue, a systems problem, the way system works makes the achievement of their desires impossible. Republican committee chairmen are the same as their Democratic colleagues.
They need the power, to hurt or help, to raise the money to stay in office.
The design of such a course
requires close interaction between people with established skills in course design and internet page authorship together with a flair for transmitting skills and knowledge in the area of Creativity and
Innovation. If you think you might be able to collaborate in this new venture please contact the programme coordinator with an indication of your potential contribution and qualifications.

The American comprehensive high school mostly prepared factory
workers, ( Suburbs offered academic schools for upper middle

Now teaching is a low status factory job, boys in trouble cause

Auto's that Henry Ford changed from a rich mans hobby into mass
market require a complex infrastructure of roads, gas stations,
regulation, etc..
T.V. had the same problem as the Internet, first the quality had
to be good enough, the price low enough, and their had to be
something on it. General Sarnoff ( RCA ) promoted radio stations
so he could sell radios. Zenith supported FM and TV to sell sets.
Gillete supports razors to sell the blades. Cable required "
critical mass" of content only possible with space technology and

The Internet is going through the stage where it moves from a

any other new technology because the infrastructure is in place,
they are creating standards as it goes along, content is
expanding as rapidly as the users. Netscape gave away the razors
and will sell the blades, in the form of servers, and office
products. Microsoft gave away ( for a few thousand dollars ) to
IBM, DOS so it could sell the contents and control the operating
systems.
RE:
The Candidate:
We all know the "system" doesn't work. Politics gets more and more unreal. We need a constitutional convention called by the states.
The reforms would be to design a more parliamentary form of government with responsible political parties, some form of proportional representation. We helped write a excellent constitution for the German Federal Republic, under General Clay's position during the occupation ( 1946 - 7 ) and we have the talent to reform ourselves. We can't expect the system in Washington to reform itself. We have to understand how the system really works and what it will take to change it.
We all have different talents. In public affairs there are those that are smart as legislators, with the complex skills of deal making, as managers, good at promoting their ideas, fixers and wheeler dealers, and some at being great candidates. Only Franklin Roosevelt was good at it all.
Bob Dole has to be one of the worse candidates in years. He has many other talents but running for office, in a media context, is not one of them. Bill Clinton is a great Candidate and has some talents in other areas.
The result is the quality of choice is very limited, almost meaningless, so people are turned off. Most other countries have stable political parties with internal discipline.
Their leaders are tested in important talents besides being a candidate. Most of the other industrial states have more reasonable governments. This gives them an advantage in bi-lateral negations, in industrial policy, in education and infrastructure, and makes others more competitive in the world economy than we are.
Money and politics:
The goal of political reform should be to take away the profit motive in our election process.
The attempts to control money by regulation is hopeless because if individuals have personal power, the market will find a way around any rules. If we had disciplined national parties, individual candidates and office holders would not have the power to shake down organizations for money.
There is
synergy
between money and politics, and we end up with the best government money can buy.
The issue is NOT only that greedy special interests bribe hungry politicians, but there is a shake down - or protection racket going on. When you need money as a candidate, you suggest some awful piece of tax policy, regulation, that would cost an industry a lot of money.
Then they pay up. In local politics the example is how sheriffs and boot leggers work together to spread the money around. Using high sounding rhetoric there are extensive rules controlling taxes, booze, drugs, land use, big budgets, contracts, grants, etc. all which give the power to benefit, or threaten and get paid off.
Individual members of parliament do not have the power to threaten or benefit contributors. But the current system can not reform itself ?
The idea is to have disciplined parties that actually preform on their campaign platform.
The candidates for a real party can's just do what ever they want once elected.
The majority of people want less government, want to take power away from Washington, want to reduce regulation, etc. but have not been ready to face this central issue, a systems problem, the way system works makes the achievement of their desires impossible. Republican committee chairmen are the same as their Democratic colleagues.
They need the power, to hurt or help, to raise the money to stay in office.
The students need a good Internet connection with IRC ( chat ) and FTP ( file transfer capacities ).
The reading will be available for down loading from the site.
The students will complete original projects and examinations.
Students can sign up anytime.

It is moving so fast that the news programs can't keep up except
maybe POINTCAST visual (

Yesterdays news is not good enough, people have to make choices
every day and it gets harder and harder. What ever you think
today will be different soon.
The big time MEDIA companies ( Sony, Time/Warner, CNN, NBC

on " broad band " cable or direct T.V., or cell phone type
microwave systems or maybe cheap high quality phone lines. Who
knows ? Take a look at the demo of WebTV and CNN interactive.
There we are with our cable, we turn on a channel, and there is
the Internet ( controlled with Surfwatch so our kids won't look
at the nasty stuff ) with E-mail, all it's resources. What's the
difference with what I am doing now ? What about the word
processor, the FTP and IRC ( chat ), maybe all in the TV version
of Netscape.
The Sony box maybe a little as $150.00 with game
port windows.
The big difference is video at full speed.
The Word
Processor can be downloaded in seconds so I don't have to have it
on a hard drive. I guess - but I don't like it - It doesn't
matter if we like it or not .. it's like hurricane Bertha, it's
going to do what it is going to do and there is nothing I can do
about it, except flee or face it. It turned out to be more hype
that any real problem for Florida.

No more waiting for graphics and audio files to download - Narrative's Enliven viewer, a Netscape Navigator plug-in for Windows, gives you streaming multimedia on the Web.
Now you need to down load the plug-in and use Netscape 2 - does not work yet on Gold 3 ( I had to get a copy from 205.218.156.36 the netscape ftp, much faster than their download pages )
Then it worked ( after several tries and a reboot ) plays a video type CD talking page.

RE:
The
Bermuda TRIANGLE:
The explanation for the "Bermuda triangle" phenomena is that
there is nothing to explain.
There is no marvel because there is
no statistical difference.
The explanation to the RASH of Black
Church fires may be the same. No more boats or planes ( given the
traffic ) disappear in the Bermuda triangle than anywhere else
and the number of wooden church fires has not increased. In is
all in the perspective.
Most of what happened to public education is that:
The number of "special needs" children from 3 % to 18 % and
growing rapidly and use up time and resources. While the average
child gets 3 or 4 thousand in services ( 50 % used up in overhead
) special needs children average 15 thousand. Learning
disabilities, Attention Deficit Disorder, Behavioral problems,
Teen Age Mothers, all suffer from the Bermuda Triangle syndrome -
regular events are treated as exceptional and extra- ordinary -
there is no problem there in most cases, the kid is fine the
system stinks. A rose is a rose,
Gertrute Stein wrote, she also said
about someplace, I think LA, that there is no there - there. )
But each disability has a powerful lobby.
# the number of children from single (and divorced) households
increased almost an order of magnitude from 5% to 35 % of the
total.
# Television does brain damage, ( really ) especially to young
children.
# the top 25 % of academic talent stopped becoming teachers in
public schools as other career opportunities became open to
women,
# the number of well paying semi-skilled industrial jobs has been
cut in half,
# more children stayed in schools longer with the expectation of
going to college, but without motivation or academic interest or
talent,
# and the military became much more selective.
# Well meaning legislation, such as
The American with
Disabilities Act have created a paper war, ESOL ( English for
Speakers of Other Languages ) is a nightmare, and that is only
one of dozens of 'special this' and 'required that' which tie the
system into knots and divert need attention from helping kids
learn to learn. Case law has added more problems and makes everyone
too worried.
The American comprehensive high school mostly prepared factory
workers, ( Suburbs offered academic schools for upper middle
class parents ) lower middle class women found teaching a social
step up, and boys in trouble went to work or to the military.
Now teaching is a low status factory job, boys in trouble cause
trouble ( a lot more violent because of T.V. and single parents )
..
SO the answer is....
Small, smart, stable schools that meet the social biological
needs of children. ( District # 5 in NYC )
Military or CCC detachments of young men that would end up in
jail - not just boot camps but two years of military type service
for anyone that wanted to join ( or go to jail - a choice parents
and Judges used to use a lot ).
National Schools for talented:
National magnate schools foundation, ( and teacher training
institutes ) were the teachers are federal civil servants paid
and treated as professionals would be a model and a good start,
like in North Carolina. Started for the 1 % "genius" these
schools could moving toward the 5 % of children doing world
class academic work, especially in science, engineering and math.
The crisis of the Talent gap could promote a national set of
pattern schools, as lab schools, test beds R & D centers.
The regional
educational labs should always have had a school of their own.
University schools could be more important. Private models can be
used.
National
Charter schools could escape from the petty fogging
bureaucracy of state departments of education. I have one in
mind.

Internet 1965 1970 1990 1996 2000
The time between invention and mass production is the period
where the "infrastructure" ( stuff underneath ) and standards are
established. Railroads requited finance, rights of way, standard
gages, stations, coal and all kinds of industrial capacity.
Auto's that Henry Ford changed from a rich mans hobby into mass
market require a complex infrastructure of roads, gas stations,
regulation, etc..
T.V. had the same problem as the Internet, first the quality had
to be good enough, the price low enough, and their had to be
something on it. General Sarnoff ( RCA ) promoted radio stations
so he could sell radios. Zenith supported FM and TV to sell sets.
Gillete supports razors to sell the blades. Cable required "
critical mass" of content only possible with space technology and
Turner's type distribution. VCR/HVS needed standard tapes,
content ( video stores and movies on tape ) and a lower price.
The Internet is going through the stage where it moves from a
hobby and tool of specialist to a consumer commodity faster than
any other new technology because the infrastructure is in place,
they are creating standards as it goes along, content is
expanding as rapidly as the users. Netscape gave away the razors
and will sell the blades, in the form of servers, and office
products. Microsoft gave away ( for a few thousand dollars ) to
IBM, DOS so it could sell the contents and control the operating
systems.
RE:
The Candidate:
We all know the "system" doesn't work. Politics gets more and more unreal. We need a constitutional convention called by the states.
The reforms would be to design a more parliamentary form of government with responsible political parties, some form of proportional representation. We helped write a excellent constitution for the German Federal Republic, under General Clay's position during the occupation ( 1946 - 7 ) and we have the talent to reform ourselves. We can't expect the system in Washington to reform itself. We have to understand how the system really works and what it will take to change it.
We all have different talents. In public affairs there are those that are smart as legislators, with the complex skills of deal making, as managers, good at promoting their ideas, fixers and wheeler dealers, and some at being great candidates. Only Franklin Roosevelt was good at it all.
Bob Dole has to be one of the worse candidates in years. He has many other talents but running for office, in a media context, is not one of them. Bill Clinton is a great Candidate and has some talents in other areas.
The result is the quality of choice is very limited, almost meaningless, so people are turned off. Most other countries have stable political parties with internal discipline.
Their leaders are tested in important talents besides being a candidate. Most of the other industrial states have more reasonable governments. This gives them an advantage in bi-lateral negations, in industrial policy, in education and infrastructure, and makes others more competitive in the world economy than we are.
Money and politics:
The goal of political reform should be to take away the profit motive in our election process.
The attempts to control money by regulation is hopeless because if individuals have personal power, the market will find a way around any rules. If we had disciplined national parties, individual candidates and office holders would not have the power to shake down organizations for money.
There is
synergy
between money and politics, and we end up with the best government money can buy.
The issue is NOT only that greedy special interests bribe hungry politicians, but there is a shake down - or protection racket going on. When you need money as a candidate, you suggest some awful piece of tax policy, regulation, that would cost an industry a lot of money.
Then they pay up. In local politics the example is how sheriffs and boot leggers work together to spread the money around. Using high sounding rhetoric there are extensive rules controlling taxes, booze, drugs, land use, big budgets, contracts, grants, etc. all which give the power to benefit, or threaten and get paid off.
Individual members of parliament do not have the power to threaten or benefit contributors. But the current system can not reform itself ?
The idea is to have disciplined parties that actually preform on their campaign platform.
The candidates for a real party can's just do what ever they want once elected.
The majority of people want less government, want to take power away from Washington, want to reduce regulation, etc. but have not been ready to face this central issue, a systems problem, the way system works makes the achievement of their desires impossible. Republican committee chairmen are the same as their Democratic colleagues.
They need the power, to hurt or help, to raise the money to stay in office.
They registrar via e-mail with the University and pay their fees.
The instructor gets paid 60 % of the fee and provides the on-line services.
The students work is put into their own web pages and can be subject to external evaluation by members of the department ( rather that the instructor ). This creates a more common interest in doing the best work possible and avoids "games" about grades.
The student continues until the external reviews approve of a grade the student will accept.

T.V. had the same problem as the Internet, first the quality had

RE:
The Candidate:
We all know the "system" doesn't work. Politics gets more and more unreal. We need a constitutional convention called by the states.
The reforms would be to design a more parliamentary form of government with responsible political parties, some form of proportional representation. We helped write a excellent constitution for the German Federal Republic, under General Clay's position during the occupation ( 1946 - 7 ) and we have the talent to reform ourselves. We can't expect the system in Washington to reform itself. We have to understand how the system really works and what it will take to change it.
We all have different talents. In public affairs there are those that are smart as legislators, with the complex skills of deal making, as managers, good at promoting their ideas, fixers and wheeler dealers, and some at being great candidates. Only Franklin Roosevelt was good at it all.
Bob Dole has to be one of the worse candidates in years. He has many other talents but running for office, in a media context, is not one of them. Bill Clinton is a great Candidate and has some talents in other areas.
The result is the quality of choice is very limited, almost meaningless, so people are turned off. Most other countries have stable political parties with internal discipline.
Their leaders are tested in important talents besides being a candidate. Most of the other industrial states have more reasonable governments. This gives them an advantage in bi-lateral negations, in industrial policy, in education and infrastructure, and makes others more competitive in the world economy than we are.
Money and politics:
The goal of political reform should be to take away the profit motive in our election process.
The attempts to control money by regulation is hopeless because if individuals have personal power, the market will find a way around any rules. If we had disciplined national parties, individual candidates and office holders would not have the power to shake down organizations for money.
There is
synergy
between money and politics, and we end up with the best government money can buy.
The issue is NOT only that greedy special interests bribe hungry politicians, but there is a shake down - or protection racket going on. When you need money as a candidate, you suggest some awful piece of tax policy, regulation, that would cost an industry a lot of money.
Then they pay up. In local politics the example is how sheriffs and boot leggers work together to spread the money around. Using high sounding rhetoric there are extensive rules controlling taxes, booze, drugs, land use, big budgets, contracts, grants, etc. all which give the power to benefit, or threaten and get paid off.
Individual members of parliament do not have the power to threaten or benefit contributors. But the current system can not reform itself ?
The idea is to have disciplined parties that actually preform on their campaign platform.
The candidates for a real party can's just do what ever they want once elected.
The majority of people want less government, want to take power away from Washington, want to reduce regulation, etc. but have not been ready to face this central issue, a systems problem, the way system works makes the achievement of their desires impossible. Republican committee chairmen are the same as their Democratic colleagues.
They need the power, to hurt or help, to raise the money to stay in office.

Can children be taught to think as a specific skill? And if they can, would it do any good? With Dr. de Bono as your guide, explore thinking patterns, tools for teaching thinking, the mechanics of
thinking lessons, and much more. Find out how to teach the useful skill of seeing many facets of a problem rather than only knowing a great deal about one facet.
"One of the best...immensely invigorating." New Scientist
Teaching Thinking
Dr Edward de Bono is widely regarded internationally as the leading thinker about thinking. He is the
organiser of lateral thinking, the widely used Six Hats method, water logic (and flowscapes) and the
CoRT programme for the direct teaching of thinking in schools. He has written over fifty books with
translations into twenty-eight languages and has made two TV series. He was a Rhodes Scholar at
Oxford and has held faculty appointments at the universities of Oxford, Cambridge, London and
Harvard. A recent compilation of the 250 most significant contributors to human development in the
history of the human race includes Dr de Bono.
His ideas are based directly on an understanding of the human mind a self-organising information system. He believes that our traditional habits of thinking are no longer sufficient in a changing world.
Edward de Bono's recent best-sellers include Teach Your Child How to Think, Water Logic and Parallel Thinking.

increased almost an order of magnitude from 5% to 35 % of the
total.
# Television does brain damage, ( really ) especially to young
children.
# the top 25 % of academic talent stopped becoming teachers in
public schools as other career opportunities became open to
women,
# the number of well paying semi-skilled industrial jobs has been
cut in half,
# more children stayed in schools longer with the expectation of
going to college, but without motivation or academic interest or
talent,
# and the military became much more selective.
# Well meaning legislation, such as
The American with
Disabilities Act have created a paper war, ESOL ( English for
Speakers of Other Languages ) is a nightmare, and that is only
one of dozens of 'special this' and 'required that' which tie the
system into knots and divert need attention from helping kids
learn to learn. Case law has added more problems and makes everyone
too worried.
The American comprehensive high school mostly prepared factory
workers, ( Suburbs offered academic schools for upper middle
class parents ) lower middle class women found teaching a social
step up, and boys in trouble went to work or to the military.
Now teaching is a low status factory job, boys in trouble cause
trouble ( a lot more violent because of T.V. and single parents )
..
SO the answer is....
Small, smart, stable schools that meet the social biological
needs of children. ( District # 5 in NYC )
Military or CCC detachments of young men that would end up in
jail - not just boot camps but two years of military type service
for anyone that wanted to join ( or go to jail - a choice parents
and Judges used to use a lot ).
National Schools for talented:
National magnate schools foundation, ( and teacher training
institutes ) were the teachers are federal civil servants paid
and treated as professionals would be a model and a good start,
like in North Carolina. Started for the 1 % "genius" these
schools could moving toward the 5 % of children doing world
class academic work, especially in science, engineering and math.
The crisis of the Talent gap could promote a national set of
pattern schools, as lab schools, test beds R & D centers.
The regional
educational labs should always have had a school of their own.
University schools could be more important. Private models can be
used.
National
Charter schools could escape from the petty fogging
bureaucracy of state departments of education. I have one in
mind.

The time between invention and mass production is the period
where the "infrastructure" ( stuff underneath ) and standards are
established. Railroads requited finance, rights of way, standard
gages, stations, coal and all kinds of industrial capacity.
Auto's that Henry Ford changed from a rich mans hobby into mass
market require a complex infrastructure of roads, gas stations,
regulation, etc..
T.V. had the same problem as the Internet, first the quality had
to be good enough, the price low enough, and their had to be
something on it. General Sarnoff ( RCA ) promoted radio stations
so he could sell radios. Zenith supported FM and TV to sell sets.
Gillete supports razors to sell the blades. Cable required "
critical mass" of content only possible with space technology and
Turner's type distribution. VCR/HVS needed standard tapes,
content ( video stores and movies on tape ) and a lower price.
The Internet is going through the stage where it moves from a
hobby and tool of specialist to a consumer commodity faster than
any other new technology because the infrastructure is in place,
they are creating standards as it goes along, content is
expanding as rapidly as the users. Netscape gave away the razors
and will sell the blades, in the form of servers, and office
products. Microsoft gave away ( for a few thousand dollars ) to
IBM, DOS so it could sell the contents and control the operating
systems.
RE:
The Candidate:
We all know the "system" doesn't work. Politics gets more and more unreal. We need a constitutional convention called by the states.
The reforms would be to design a more parliamentary form of government with responsible political parties, some form of proportional representation. We helped write a excellent constitution for the German Federal Republic, under General Clay's position during the occupation ( 1946 - 7 ) and we have the talent to reform ourselves. We can't expect the system in Washington to reform itself. We have to understand how the system really works and what it will take to change it.
We all have different talents. In public affairs there are those that are smart as legislators, with the complex skills of deal making, as managers, good at promoting their ideas, fixers and wheeler dealers, and some at being great candidates. Only Franklin Roosevelt was good at it all.
Bob Dole has to be one of the worse candidates in years. He has many other talents but running for office, in a media context, is not one of them. Bill Clinton is a great Candidate and has some talents in other areas.
The result is the quality of choice is very limited, almost meaningless, so people are turned off. Most other countries have stable political parties with internal discipline.
Their leaders are tested in important talents besides being a candidate. Most of the other industrial states have more reasonable governments. This gives them an advantage in bi-lateral negations, in industrial policy, in education and infrastructure, and makes others more competitive in the world economy than we are.
Money and politics:
The goal of political reform should be to take away the profit motive in our election process.
The attempts to control money by regulation is hopeless because if individuals have personal power, the market will find a way around any rules. If we had disciplined national parties, individual candidates and office holders would not have the power to shake down organizations for money.
There is
synergy
between money and politics, and we end up with the best government money can buy.
The issue is NOT only that greedy special interests bribe hungry politicians, but there is a shake down - or protection racket going on. When you need money as a candidate, you suggest some awful piece of tax policy, regulation, that would cost an industry a lot of money.
Then they pay up. In local politics the example is how sheriffs and boot leggers work together to spread the money around. Using high sounding rhetoric there are extensive rules controlling taxes, booze, drugs, land use, big budgets, contracts, grants, etc. all which give the power to benefit, or threaten and get paid off.
Individual members of parliament do not have the power to threaten or benefit contributors. But the current system can not reform itself ?
The idea is to have disciplined parties that actually preform on their campaign platform.
The candidates for a real party can's just do what ever they want once elected.
The majority of people want less government, want to take power away from Washington, want to reduce regulation, etc. but have not been ready to face this central issue, a systems problem, the way system works makes the achievement of their desires impossible. Republican committee chairmen are the same as their Democratic colleagues.
They need the power, to hurt or help, to raise the money to stay in office.

It is moving so fast that the news programs can't keep up except

Yesterdays news is not good enough, people have to make choices
every day and it gets harder and harder. What ever you think

The big time MEDIA companies ( Sony, Time/Warner, CNN, NBC
Microsoft ) thought the real interactive stuff would have to wait
on " broad band " cable or direct T.V., or cell phone type
microwave systems or maybe cheap high quality phone lines. Who
knows ? Take a look at the demo of WebTV and CNN interactive.
There we are with our cable, we turn on a channel, and there is
the Internet ( controlled with Surfwatch so our kids won't look
at the nasty stuff ) with E-mail, all it's resources. What's the
difference with what I am doing now ? What about the word
processor, the FTP and IRC ( chat ), maybe all in the TV version
of Netscape.
The Sony box maybe a little as $150.00 with game

The big difference is video at full speed.

Then it worked ( after several tries and a reboot ) plays a video type CD talking page.

Their leaders are tested in important talents besides being a candidate. Most of the other industrial states have more reasonable governments. This gives them an advantage in bi-lateral negations, in industrial policy, in education and infrastructure, and makes others more competitive in the world economy than we are.
Money and politics:
The goal of political reform should be to take away the profit motive in our election process.
The attempts to control money by regulation is hopeless because if individuals have personal power, the market will find a way around any rules. If we had disciplined national parties, individual candidates and office holders would not have the power to shake down organizations for money.
There is
synergy
between money and politics, and we end up with the best government money can buy.
The issue is NOT only that greedy special interests bribe hungry politicians, but there is a shake down - or protection racket going on. When you need money as a candidate, you suggest some awful piece of tax policy, regulation, that would cost an industry a lot of money.
Then they pay up. In local politics the example is how sheriffs and boot leggers work together to spread the money around. Using high sounding rhetoric there are extensive rules controlling taxes, booze, drugs, land use, big budgets, contracts, grants, etc. all which give the power to benefit, or threaten and get paid off.
Individual members of parliament do not have the power to threaten or benefit contributors. But the current system can not reform itself ?
The idea is to have disciplined parties that actually preform on their campaign platform.
The candidates for a real party can's just do what ever they want once elected.
The majority of people want less government, want to take power away from Washington, want to reduce regulation, etc. but have not been ready to face this central issue, a systems problem, the way system works makes the achievement of their desires impossible. Republican committee chairmen are the same as their Democratic colleagues.
They need the power, to hurt or help, to raise the money to stay in office.

RE:
The
Bermuda TRIANGLE:
The explanation for the "Bermuda triangle" phenomena is that
there is nothing to explain.
There is no marvel because there is
no statistical difference.
The explanation to the RASH of Black
Church fires may be the same. No more boats or planes ( given the
traffic ) disappear in the Bermuda triangle than anywhere else
and the number of wooden church fires has not increased. In is
all in the perspective.
Most of what happened to public education is that:
The number of "special needs" children from 3 % to 18 % and
growing rapidly and use up time and resources. While the average
child gets 3 or 4 thousand in services ( 50 % used up in overhead
) special needs children average 15 thousand. Learning
disabilities, Attention Deficit Disorder, Behavioral problems,
Teen Age Mothers, all suffer from the Bermuda Triangle syndrome -
regular events are treated as exceptional and extra- ordinary -
there is no problem there in most cases, the kid is fine the
system stinks. A rose is a rose,
Gertrute Stein wrote, she also said
about someplace, I think LA, that there is no there - there. )
But each disability has a powerful lobby.
# the number of children from single (and divorced) households
increased almost an order of magnitude from 5% to 35 % of the
total.
# Television does brain damage, ( really ) especially to young
children.
# the top 25 % of academic talent stopped becoming teachers in
public schools as other career opportunities became open to
women,
# the number of well paying semi-skilled industrial jobs has been
cut in half,
# more children stayed in schools longer with the expectation of
going to college, but without motivation or academic interest or
talent,
# and the military became much more selective.
# Well meaning legislation, such as
The American with
Disabilities Act have created a paper war, ESOL ( English for
Speakers of Other Languages ) is a nightmare, and that is only
one of dozens of 'special this' and 'required that' which tie the
system into knots and divert need attention from helping kids
learn to learn. Case law has added more problems and makes everyone
too worried.
The American comprehensive high school mostly prepared factory
workers, ( Suburbs offered academic schools for upper middle
class parents ) lower middle class women found teaching a social
step up, and boys in trouble went to work or to the military.
Now teaching is a low status factory job, boys in trouble cause
trouble ( a lot more violent because of T.V. and single parents )
..
SO the answer is....
Small, smart, stable schools that meet the social biological
needs of children. ( District # 5 in NYC )
Military or CCC detachments of young men that would end up in
jail - not just boot camps but two years of military type service
for anyone that wanted to join ( or go to jail - a choice parents
and Judges used to use a lot ).
National Schools for talented:
National magnate schools foundation, ( and teacher training
institutes ) were the teachers are federal civil servants paid
and treated as professionals would be a model and a good start,
like in North Carolina. Started for the 1 % "genius" these
schools could moving toward the 5 % of children doing world
class academic work, especially in science, engineering and math.
The crisis of the Talent gap could promote a national set of
pattern schools, as lab schools, test beds R & D centers.
The regional
educational labs should always have had a school of their own.
University schools could be more important. Private models can be
used.
National
Charter schools could escape from the petty fogging
bureaucracy of state departments of education. I have one in
mind.

The time between invention and mass production is the period
where the "infrastructure" ( stuff underneath ) and standards are
established. Railroads requited finance, rights of way, standard
gages, stations, coal and all kinds of industrial capacity.
Auto's that Henry Ford changed from a rich mans hobby into mass
market require a complex infrastructure of roads, gas stations,
regulation, etc..
T.V. had the same problem as the Internet, first the quality had
to be good enough, the price low enough, and their had to be
something on it. General Sarnoff ( RCA ) promoted radio stations
so he could sell radios. Zenith supported FM and TV to sell sets.
Gillete supports razors to sell the blades. Cable required "
critical mass" of content only possible with space technology and
Turner's type distribution. VCR/HVS needed standard tapes,
content ( video stores and movies on tape ) and a lower price.
The Internet is going through the stage where it moves from a
hobby and tool of specialist to a consumer commodity faster than
any other new technology because the infrastructure is in place,
they are creating standards as it goes along, content is
expanding as rapidly as the users. Netscape gave away the razors
and will sell the blades, in the form of servers, and office
products. Microsoft gave away ( for a few thousand dollars ) to
IBM, DOS so it could sell the contents and control the operating
systems.
RE:
The Candidate:
We all know the "system" doesn't work. Politics gets more and more unreal. We need a constitutional convention called by the states.
The reforms would be to design a more parliamentary form of government with responsible political parties, some form of proportional representation. We helped write a excellent constitution for the German Federal Republic, under General Clay's position during the occupation ( 1946 - 7 ) and we have the talent to reform ourselves. We can't expect the system in Washington to reform itself. We have to understand how the system really works and what it will take to change it.
We all have different talents. In public affairs there are those that are smart as legislators, with the complex skills of deal making, as managers, good at promoting their ideas, fixers and wheeler dealers, and some at being great candidates. Only Franklin Roosevelt was good at it all.
Bob Dole has to be one of the worse candidates in years. He has many other talents but running for office, in a media context, is not one of them. Bill Clinton is a great Candidate and has some talents in other areas.
The result is the quality of choice is very limited, almost meaningless, so people are turned off. Most other countries have stable political parties with internal discipline.

RE:
The Candidate:
We all know the "system" doesn't work. Politics gets more and more unreal. We need a constitutional convention called by the states.
The reforms would be to design a more parliamentary form of government with responsible political parties, some form of proportional representation. We helped write a excellent constitution for the German Federal Republic, under General Clay's position during the occupation ( 1946 - 7 ) and we have the talent to reform ourselves. We can't expect the system in Washington to reform itself. We have to understand how the system really works and what it will take to change it.
We all have different talents. In public affairs there are those that are smart as legislators, with the complex skills of deal making, as managers, good at promoting their ideas, fixers and wheeler dealers, and some at being great candidates. Only Franklin Roosevelt was good at it all.
Bob Dole has to be one of the worse candidates in years. He has many other talents but running for office, in a media context, is not one of them. Bill Clinton is a great Candidate and has some talents in other areas.
The result is the quality of choice is very limited, almost meaningless, so people are turned off. Most other countries have stable political parties with internal discipline.
Their leaders are tested in important talents besides being a candidate. Most of the other industrial states have more reasonable governments. This gives them an advantage in bi-lateral negations, in industrial policy, in education and infrastructure, and makes others more competitive in the world economy than we are.
Money and politics:
The goal of political reform should be to take away the profit motive in our election process.
The attempts to control money by regulation is hopeless because if individuals have personal power, the market will find a way around any rules. If we had disciplined national parties, individual candidates and office holders would not have the power to shake down organizations for money.
There is
synergy
between money and politics, and we end up with the best government money can buy.
The issue is NOT only that greedy special interests bribe hungry politicians, but there is a shake down - or protection racket going on. When you need money as a candidate, you suggest some awful piece of tax policy, regulation, that would cost an industry a lot of money.
Then they pay up. In local politics the example is how sheriffs and boot leggers work together to spread the money around. Using high sounding rhetoric there are extensive rules controlling taxes, booze, drugs, land use, big budgets, contracts, grants, etc. all which give the power to benefit, or threaten and get paid off.
Individual members of parliament do not have the power to threaten or benefit contributors. But the current system can not reform itself ?
The idea is to have disciplined parties that actually preform on their campaign platform.
The candidates for a real party can's just do what ever they want once elected.
The majority of people want less government, want to take power away from Washington, want to reduce regulation, etc. but have not been ready to face this central issue, a systems problem, the way system works makes the achievement of their desires impossible. Republican committee chairmen are the same as their Democratic colleagues.
They need the power, to hurt or help, to raise the money to stay in office.

The issue is NOT only that greedy special interests bribe hungry politicians, but there is a shake down - or protection racket going on. When you need money as a candidate, you suggest some awful piece of tax policy, regulation, that would cost an industry a lot of money.
Then they pay up. In local politics the example is how sheriffs and boot leggers work together to spread the money around. Using high sounding rhetoric there are extensive rules controlling taxes, booze, drugs, land use, big budgets, contracts, grants, etc. all which give the power to benefit, or threaten and get paid off.

The idea is to have disciplined parties that actually preform on their campaign platform.
The candidates for a real party can's just do what ever they want once elected.
The majority of people want less government, want to take power away from Washington, want to reduce regulation, etc. but have not been ready to face this central issue, a systems problem, the way system works makes the achievement of their desires impossible.

They need the power, to hurt or help, to raise the money to stay in office.
The effort to stay "up-to-date" in the Internet business and the
INTRA-net, office suite applications, connecting MS Office 96 to
the Internet maybe of greater financial importance than the "pop"
culture on the web. BUT..BUT.. it's a jungle out there.

The time between invention and mass production is the period
where the "infrastructure" ( stuff underneath ) and standards are
established. Railroads requited finance, rights of way, standard
gages, stations, coal and all kinds of industrial capacity.
Auto's that Henry Ford changed from a rich mans hobby into mass
market require a complex infrastructure of roads, gas stations,
regulation, etc..
T.V. had the same problem as the Internet, first the quality had
to be good enough, the price low enough, and their had to be
something on it. General Sarnoff ( RCA ) promoted radio stations
so he could sell radios. Zenith supported FM and TV to sell sets.
Gillete supports razors to sell the blades. Cable required "
critical mass" of content only possible with space technology and
Turner's type distribution. VCR/HVS needed standard tapes,
content ( video stores and movies on tape ) and a lower price.
The Internet is going through the stage where it moves from a
hobby and tool of specialist to a consumer commodity faster than
any other new technology because the infrastructure is in place,
they are creating standards as it goes along, content is
expanding as rapidly as the users. Netscape gave away the razors
and will sell the blades, in the form of servers, and office
products. Microsoft gave away ( for a few thousand dollars ) to
IBM, DOS so it could sell the contents and control the operating
systems.
RE:
The Candidate:
We all know the "system" doesn't work. Politics gets more and more unreal. We need a constitutional convention called by the states.
The reforms would be to design a more parliamentary form of government with responsible political parties, some form of proportional representation. We helped write a excellent constitution for the German Federal Republic, under General Clay's position during the occupation ( 1946 - 7 ) and we have the talent to reform ourselves. We can't expect the system in Washington to reform itself. We have to understand how the system really works and what it will take to change it.
We all have different talents. In public affairs there are those that are smart as legislators, with the complex skills of deal making, as managers, good at promoting their ideas, fixers and wheeler dealers, and some at being great candidates. Only Franklin Roosevelt was good at it all.
Bob Dole has to be one of the worse candidates in years. He has many other talents but running for office, in a media context, is not one of them. Bill Clinton is a great Candidate and has some talents in other areas.
The result is the quality of choice is very limited, almost meaningless, so people are turned off. Most other countries have stable political parties with internal discipline.
Their leaders are tested in important talents besides being a candidate. Most of the other industrial states have more reasonable governments. This gives them an advantage in bi-lateral negations, in industrial policy, in education and infrastructure, and makes others more competitive in the world economy than we are.
Money and politics:
The goal of political reform should be to take away the profit motive in our election process.
The attempts to control money by regulation is hopeless because if individuals have personal power, the market will find a way around any rules. If we had disciplined national parties, individual candidates and office holders would not have the power to shake down organizations for money.
There is
synergy
between money and politics, and we end up with the best government money can buy.
The issue is NOT only that greedy special interests bribe hungry politicians, but there is a shake down - or protection racket going on. When you need money as a candidate, you suggest some awful piece of tax policy, regulation, that would cost an industry a lot of money.
Then they pay up. In local politics the example is how sheriffs and boot leggers work together to spread the money around. Using high sounding rhetoric there are extensive rules controlling taxes, booze, drugs, land use, big budgets, contracts, grants, etc. all which give the power to benefit, or threaten and get paid off.

The time between invention and mass production is the period

established. Railroads requited finance, rights of way, standard

Auto's that Henry Ford changed from a rich mans hobby into mass
market require a complex infrastructure of roads, gas stations,
regulation, etc..
T.V. had the same problem as the Internet, first the quality had
to be good enough, the price low enough, and their had to be
something on it. General Sarnoff ( RCA ) promoted radio stations
so he could sell radios. Zenith supported FM and TV to sell sets.
Gillete supports razors to sell the blades. Cable required "
critical mass" of content only possible with space technology and
Turner's type distribution. VCR/HVS needed standard tapes,
content ( video stores and movies on tape ) and a lower price.
The Internet is going through the stage where it moves from a
hobby and tool of specialist to a consumer commodity faster than
any other new technology because the infrastructure is in place,
they are creating standards as it goes along, content is
expanding as rapidly as the users. Netscape gave away the razors
and will sell the blades, in the form of servers, and office
products. Microsoft gave away ( for a few thousand dollars ) to

RE:
The Candidate:
We all know the "system" doesn't work. Politics gets more and more unreal. We need a constitutional convention called by the states.
The reforms would be to design a more parliamentary form of government with responsible political parties, some form of proportional representation. We helped write a excellent constitution for the German Federal Republic, under General Clay's position during the occupation ( 1946 - 7 ) and we have the talent to reform ourselves. We can't expect the system in Washington to reform itself. We have to understand how the system really works and what it will take to change it.
We all have different talents. In public affairs there are those that are smart as legislators, with the complex skills of deal making, as managers, good at promoting their ideas, fixers and wheeler dealers, and some at being great candidates. Only Franklin Roosevelt was good at it all.
Bob Dole has to be one of the worse candidates in years. He has many other talents but running for office, in a media context, is not one of them. Bill Clinton is a great Candidate and has some talents in other areas.
The result is the quality of choice is very limited, almost meaningless, so people are turned off. Most other countries have stable political parties with internal discipline.
Their leaders are tested in important talents besides being a candidate. Most of the other industrial states have more reasonable governments. This gives them an advantage in bi-lateral negations, in industrial policy, in education and infrastructure, and makes others more competitive in the world economy than we are.
Money and politics:
The goal of political reform should be to take away the profit motive in our election process.
The attempts to control money by regulation is hopeless because if individuals have personal power, the market will find a way around any rules. If we had disciplined national parties, individual candidates and office holders would not have the power to shake down organizations for money.
There is
synergy
between money and politics, and we end up with the best government money can buy.
The issue is NOT only that greedy special interests bribe hungry politicians, but there is a shake down - or protection racket going on. When you need money as a candidate, you suggest some awful piece of tax policy, regulation, that would cost an industry a lot of money.
Then they pay up. In local politics the example is how sheriffs and boot leggers work together to spread the money around. Using high sounding rhetoric there are extensive rules controlling taxes, booze, drugs, land use, big budgets, contracts, grants, etc. all which give the power to benefit, or threaten and get paid off.
Individual members of parliament do not have the power to threaten or benefit contributors. But the current system can not reform itself ?
The idea is to have disciplined parties that actually preform on their campaign platform.
The candidates for a real party can's just do what ever they want once elected.
The majority of people want less government, want to take power away from Washington, want to reduce regulation, etc. but have not been ready to face this central issue, a systems problem, the way system works makes the achievement of their desires impossible. Republican committee chairmen are the same as their Democratic colleagues.
They need the power, to hurt or help, to raise the money to stay in office.
The big time MEDIA companies ( Sony, Time/Warner, CNN, NBC
Microsoft ) thought the real interactive stuff would have to wait
on " broad band " cable or direct T.V., or cell phone type
microwave systems or maybe cheap high quality phone lines. Who
knows ? Take a look at the demo of WebTV and CNN interactive.
There we are with our cable, we turn on a channel, and there is
the Internet ( controlled with Surfwatch so our kids won't look
at the nasty stuff ) with E-mail, all it's resources. What's the
difference with what I am doing now ? What about the word
processor, the FTP and IRC ( chat ), maybe all in the TV version
of Netscape.
The Sony box maybe a little as $150.00 with game
port windows.
The big difference is video at full speed.
The Word
Processor can be downloaded in seconds so I don't have to have it
on a hard drive. I guess - but I don't like it - It doesn't
matter if we like it or not .. it's like hurricane Bertha, it's
going to do what it is going to do and there is nothing I can do
about it, except flee or face it. It turned out to be more hype
that any real problem for Florida.

The American comprehensive high school mostly prepared factory
workers, ( Suburbs offered academic schools for upper middle

step up, and boys in trouble went to work or to the military.
Now teaching is a low status factory job, boys in trouble cause

The time between invention and mass production is the period
where the "infrastructure" ( stuff underneath ) and standards are
established. Railroads requited finance, rights of way, standard
gages, stations, coal and all kinds of industrial capacity.
Auto's that Henry Ford changed from a rich mans hobby into mass
market require a complex infrastructure of roads, gas stations,
regulation, etc..
T.V. had the same problem as the Internet, first the quality had
to be good enough, the price low enough, and their had to be
something on it. General Sarnoff ( RCA ) promoted radio stations
so he could sell radios. Zenith supported FM and TV to sell sets.
Gillete supports razors to sell the blades. Cable required "
critical mass" of content only possible with space technology and
Turner's type distribution. VCR/HVS needed standard tapes,
content ( video stores and movies on tape ) and a lower price.
The Internet is going through the stage where it moves from a
hobby and tool of specialist to a consumer commodity faster than
any other new technology because the infrastructure is in place,
they are creating standards as it goes along, content is
expanding as rapidly as the users. Netscape gave away the razors
and will sell the blades, in the form of servers, and office
products. Microsoft gave away ( for a few thousand dollars ) to
IBM, DOS so it could sell the contents and control the operating

RE:
The Candidate:
We all know the "system" doesn't work. Politics gets more and more unreal. We need a constitutional convention called by the states.
The reforms would be to design a more parliamentary form of government with responsible political parties, some form of proportional representation. We helped write a excellent constitution for the German Federal Republic, under General Clay's position during the occupation ( 1946 - 7 ) and we have the talent to reform ourselves. We can't expect the system in Washington to reform itself. We have to understand how the system really works and what it will take to change it.
We all have different talents. In public affairs there are those that are smart as legislators, with the complex skills of deal making, as managers, good at promoting their ideas, fixers and wheeler dealers, and some at being great candidates. Only Franklin Roosevelt was good at it all.
Bob Dole has to be one of the worse candidates in years. He has many other talents but running for office, in a media context, is not one of them. Bill Clinton is a great Candidate and has some talents in other areas.
The result is the quality of choice is very limited, almost meaningless, so people are turned off. Most other countries have stable political parties with internal discipline.
Their leaders are tested in important talents besides being a candidate. Most of the other industrial states have more reasonable governments. This gives them an advantage in bi-lateral negations, in industrial policy, in education and infrastructure, and makes others more competitive in the world economy than we are.
Money and politics:
The goal of political reform should be to take away the profit motive in our election process.
The attempts to control money by regulation is hopeless because if individuals have personal power, the market will find a way around any rules. If we had disciplined national parties, individual candidates and office holders would not have the power to shake down organizations for money.
There is
synergy
between money and politics, and we end up with the best government money can buy.
The issue is NOT only that greedy special interests bribe hungry politicians, but there is a shake down - or protection racket going on. When you need money as a candidate, you suggest some awful piece of tax policy, regulation, that would cost an industry a lot of money.
Then they pay up. In local politics the example is how sheriffs and boot leggers work together to spread the money around. Using high sounding rhetoric there are extensive rules controlling taxes, booze, drugs, land use, big budgets, contracts, grants, etc. all which give the power to benefit, or threaten and get paid off.
Individual members of parliament do not have the power to threaten or benefit contributors. But the current system can not reform itself ?
The idea is to have disciplined parties that actually preform on their campaign platform.
The candidates for a real party can's just do what ever they want once elected.
The majority of people want less government, want to take power away from Washington, want to reduce regulation, etc. but have not been ready to face this central issue, a systems problem, the way system works makes the achievement of their desires impossible. Republican committee chairmen are the same as their Democratic colleagues.
They need the power, to hurt or help, to raise the money to stay in office.

NARRATIVE COMMUNICATIONS
No more waiting for graphics and audio files to download - Narrative's Enliven viewer, a Netscape Navigator plug-in for Windows, gives you streaming multimedia on the Web.
Now you need to down load the plug-in and use Netscape 2 - does not work yet on Gold 3 ( I had to get a copy from 205.218.156.36 the netscape ftp, much faster than their download pages )
Then it worked ( after several tries and a reboot ) plays a video type CD talking page.
The stream in real audio has now become a video play with buffer. Rather than download, setup application and play - it can run off the web pages. GO TO the TOUR for examples.

RE:

traffic ) disappear in the Bermuda triangle than anywhere else
and the number of wooden church fires has not increased. In is
all in the perspective.
Most of what happened to public education is that:
The number of "special needs" children from 3 % to 18 % and
growing rapidly and use up time and resources. While the average
child gets 3 or 4 thousand in services ( 50 % used up in overhead
) special needs children average 15 thousand. Learning
disabilities, Attention Deficit Disorder, Behavioral problems,
Teen Age Mothers, all suffer from the Bermuda Triangle syndrome -
regular events are treated as exceptional and extra- ordinary -
there is no problem there in most cases, the kid is fine the
system stinks. A rose is a rose,
Gertrute Stein wrote, she also said
about someplace, I think LA, that there is no there - there. )
But each disability has a powerful lobby.
# the number of children from single (and divorced) households
increased almost an order of magnitude from 5% to 35 % of the
total.
# Television does brain damage, ( really ) especially to young
children.
# the top 25 % of academic talent stopped becoming teachers in
public schools as other career opportunities became open to
women,
# the number of well paying semi-skilled industrial jobs has been
cut in half,
# more children stayed in schools longer with the expectation of

talent,
# and the military became much more selective.
# Well meaning legislation, such as
The American with

Speakers of Other Languages ) is a nightmare, and that is only
one of dozens of 'special this' and 'required that' which tie the
system into knots and divert need attention from helping kids
learn to learn. Case law has added more problems and makes everyone
too worried.
The American comprehensive high school mostly prepared factory
workers, ( Suburbs offered academic schools for upper middle
class parents ) lower middle class women found teaching a social
step up, and boys in trouble went to work or to the military.
Now teaching is a low status factory job, boys in trouble cause
trouble ( a lot more violent because of T.V. and single parents )
..
SO the answer is....
Small, smart, stable schools that meet the social biological
needs of children. ( District # 5 in NYC )
Military or CCC detachments of young men that would end up in
jail - not just boot camps but two years of military type service
for anyone that wanted to join ( or go to jail - a choice parents
and Judges used to use a lot ).
National Schools for talented:
National magnate schools foundation, ( and teacher training
institutes ) were the teachers are federal civil servants paid
and treated as professionals would be a model and a good start,
like in North Carolina. Started for the 1 % "genius" these
schools could moving toward the 5 % of children doing world
class academic work, especially in science, engineering and math.
The crisis of the Talent gap could promote a national set of
pattern schools, as lab schools, test beds R & D centers.

Then they pay up. In local politics the example is how sheriffs and boot leggers work together to spread the money around. Using high sounding rhetoric there are extensive rules controlling taxes, booze, drugs, land use, big budgets, contracts, grants, etc. all which give the power to benefit, or threaten and get paid off.
Individual members of parliament do not have the power to threaten or benefit contributors. But the current system can not reform itself ?
The idea is to have disciplined parties that actually preform on their campaign platform.
The candidates for a real party can's just do what ever they want once elected.
The majority of people want less government, want to take power away from Washington, want to reduce regulation, etc. but have not been ready to face this central issue, a systems problem, the way system works makes the achievement of their desires impossible. Republican committee chairmen are the same as their Democratic colleagues.
They need the power, to hurt or help, to raise the money to stay in office.

RE:
The Candidate:
We all know the "system" doesn't work. Politics gets more and more unreal. We need a constitutional convention called by the states.
The reforms would be to design a more parliamentary form of government with responsible political parties, some form of proportional representation. We helped write a excellent constitution for the German Federal Republic, under General Clay's position during the occupation ( 1946 - 7 ) and we have the talent to reform ourselves. We can't expect the system in Washington to reform itself. We have to understand how the system really works and what it will take to change it.
We all have different talents. In public affairs there are those that are smart as legislators, with the complex skills of deal making, as managers, good at promoting their ideas, fixers and wheeler dealers, and some at being great candidates. Only Franklin Roosevelt was good at it all.
Bob Dole has to be one of the worse candidates in years. He has many other talents but running for office, in a media context, is not one of them. Bill Clinton is a great Candidate and has some talents in other areas.
The result is the quality of choice is very limited, almost meaningless, so people are turned off. Most other countries have stable political parties with internal discipline.
Their leaders are tested in important talents besides being a candidate. Most of the other industrial states have more reasonable governments. This gives them an advantage in bi-lateral negations, in industrial policy, in education and infrastructure, and makes others more competitive in the world economy than we are.
Money and politics:
The goal of political reform should be to take away the profit motive in our election process.
The attempts to control money by regulation is hopeless because if individuals have personal power, the market will find a way around any rules. If we had disciplined national parties, individual candidates and office holders would not have the power to shake down organizations for money.
There is
synergy
between money and politics, and we end up with the best government money can buy.
The issue is NOT only that greedy special interests bribe hungry politicians, but there is a shake down - or protection racket going on. When you need money as a candidate, you suggest some awful piece of tax policy, regulation, that would cost an industry a lot of money.
Then they pay up. In local politics the example is how sheriffs and boot leggers work together to spread the money around. Using high sounding rhetoric there are extensive rules controlling taxes, booze, drugs, land use, big budgets, contracts, grants, etc. all which give the power to benefit, or threaten and get paid off.

RE:
The Candidate:
We all know the "system" doesn't work. Politics gets more and more unreal. We need a constitutional convention called by the states.
The reforms would be to design a more parliamentary form of government with responsible political parties, some form of proportional representation. We helped write a excellent constitution for the German Federal Republic, under General Clay's position during the occupation ( 1946 - 7 ) and we have the talent to reform ourselves. We can't expect the system in Washington to reform itself. We have to understand how the system really works and what it will take to change it.
We all have different talents. In public affairs there are those that are smart as legislators, with the complex skills of deal making, as managers, good at promoting their ideas, fixers and wheeler dealers, and some at being great candidates. Only Franklin Roosevelt was good at it all.
Bob Dole has to be one of the worse candidates in years. He has many other talents but running for office, in a media context, is not one of them. Bill Clinton is a great Candidate and has some talents in other areas.
The result is the quality of choice is very limited, almost meaningless, so people are turned off. Most other countries have stable political parties with internal discipline.
Their leaders are tested in important talents besides being a candidate. Most of the other industrial states have more reasonable governments. This gives them an advantage in bi-lateral negations, in industrial policy, in education and infrastructure, and makes others more competitive in the world economy than we are.
Money and politics:
The goal of political reform should be to take away the profit motive in our election process.
The attempts to control money by regulation is hopeless because if individuals have personal power, the market will find a way around any rules. If we had disciplined national parties, individual candidates and office holders would not have the power to shake down organizations for money.
There is
synergy
between money and politics, and we end up with the best government money can buy.
The issue is NOT only that greedy special interests bribe hungry politicians, but there is a shake down - or protection racket going on. When you need money as a candidate, you suggest some awful piece of tax policy, regulation, that would cost an industry a lot of money.
Then they pay up. In local politics the example is how sheriffs and boot leggers work together to spread the money around. Using high sounding rhetoric there are extensive rules controlling taxes, booze, drugs, land use, big budgets, contracts, grants, etc. all which give the power to benefit, or threaten and get paid off.
Individual members of parliament do not have the power to threaten or benefit contributors. But the current system can not reform itself ?
The idea is to have disciplined parties that actually preform on their campaign platform.
The candidates for a real party can's just do what ever they want once elected.
The majority of people want less government, want to take power away from Washington, want to reduce regulation, etc. but have not been ready to face this central issue, a systems problem, the way system works makes the achievement of their desires impossible. Republican committee chairmen are the same as their Democratic colleagues.
They need the power, to hurt or help, to raise the money to stay in office.
The explanation for the "Bermuda triangle" phenomena is that
there is nothing to explain.
There is no marvel because there is
no statistical difference.
The explanation to the RASH of Black
Church fires may be the same. No more boats or planes ( given the
traffic ) disappear in the Bermuda triangle than anywhere else
and the number of wooden church fires has not increased. In is
all in the perspective.
Most of what happened to public education is that:
The number of "special needs" children from 3 % to 18 % and
growing rapidly and use up time and resources. While the average
child gets 3 or 4 thousand in services ( 50 % used up in overhead
) special needs children average 15 thousand. Learning
disabilities, Attention Deficit Disorder, Behavioral problems,
Teen Age Mothers, all suffer from the Bermuda Triangle syndrome -
regular events are treated as exceptional and extra- ordinary -
there is no problem there in most cases, the kid is fine the
system stinks. A rose is a rose,

The American comprehensive high school mostly prepared factory
workers, ( Suburbs offered academic schools for upper middle
class parents ) lower middle class women found teaching a social
step up, and boys in trouble went to work or to the military.
Now teaching is a low status factory job, boys in trouble cause
trouble ( a lot more violent because of T.V. and single parents )

SO the answer is....
Small, smart, stable schools that meet the social biological

Military or CCC detachments of young men that would end up in

class academic work, especially in science, engineering and math.

The time between invention and mass production is the period

established. Railroads requited finance, rights of way, standard
gages, stations, coal and all kinds of industrial capacity.
Auto's that Henry Ford changed from a rich mans hobby into mass
market require a complex infrastructure of roads, gas stations,
regulation, etc..
T.V. had the same problem as the Internet, first the quality had
to be good enough, the price low enough, and their had to be
something on it. General Sarnoff ( RCA ) promoted radio stations
so he could sell radios. Zenith supported FM and TV to sell sets.
Gillete supports razors to sell the blades. Cable required "
critical mass" of content only possible with space technology and
Turner's type distribution. VCR/HVS needed standard tapes,
content ( video stores and movies on tape ) and a lower price.
The Internet is going through the stage where it moves from a
hobby and tool of specialist to a consumer commodity faster than
any other new technology because the infrastructure is in place,
they are creating standards as it goes along, content is
expanding as rapidly as the users. Netscape gave away the razors
and will sell the blades, in the form of servers, and office
products. Microsoft gave away ( for a few thousand dollars ) to
IBM, DOS so it could sell the contents and control the operating
systems.
RE:
The Candidate:
We all know the "system" doesn't work. Politics gets more and more unreal. We need a constitutional convention called by the states.
The reforms would be to design a more parliamentary form of government with responsible political parties, some form of proportional representation. We helped write a excellent constitution for the German Federal Republic, under General Clay's position during the occupation ( 1946 - 7 ) and we have the talent to reform ourselves. We can't expect the system in Washington to reform itself. We have to understand how the system really works and what it will take to change it.
We all have different talents. In public affairs there are those that are smart as legislators, with the complex skills of deal making, as managers, good at promoting their ideas, fixers and wheeler dealers, and some at being great candidates. Only Franklin Roosevelt was good at it all.
Bob Dole has to be one of the worse candidates in years. He has many other talents but running for office, in a media context, is not one of them. Bill Clinton is a great Candidate and has some talents in other areas.
The result is the quality of choice is very limited, almost meaningless, so people are turned off. Most other countries have stable political parties with internal discipline.
Their leaders are tested in important talents besides being a candidate. Most of the other industrial states have more reasonable governments. This gives them an advantage in bi-lateral negations, in industrial policy, in education and infrastructure, and makes others more competitive in the world economy than we are.
Money and politics:
The goal of political reform should be to take away the profit motive in our election process.
The attempts to control money by regulation is hopeless because if individuals have personal power, the market will find a way around any rules. If we had disciplined national parties, individual candidates and office holders would not have the power to shake down organizations for money.
There is
synergy
between money and politics, and we end up with the best government money can buy.
The issue is NOT only that greedy special interests bribe hungry politicians, but there is a shake down - or protection racket going on. When you need money as a candidate, you suggest some awful piece of tax policy, regulation, that would cost an industry a lot of money.
Then they pay up. In local politics the example is how sheriffs and boot leggers work together to spread the money around. Using high sounding rhetoric there are extensive rules controlling taxes, booze, drugs, land use, big budgets, contracts, grants, etc. all which give the power to benefit, or threaten and get paid off.
Individual members of parliament do not have the power to threaten or benefit contributors. But the current system can not reform itself ?
The idea is to have disciplined parties that actually preform on their campaign platform.
The candidates for a real party can's just do what ever they want once elected.
The majority of people want less government, want to take power away from Washington, want to reduce regulation, etc. but have not been ready to face this central issue, a systems problem, the way system works makes the achievement of their desires impossible. Republican committee chairmen are the same as their Democratic colleagues.
They need the power, to hurt or help, to raise the money to stay in office.
# Television does brain damage, ( really ) especially to young
children.
# the top 25 % of academic talent stopped becoming teachers in
public schools as other career opportunities became open to
women,
# the number of well paying semi-skilled industrial jobs has been
cut in half,
# more children stayed in schools longer with the expectation of
going to college, but without motivation or academic interest or
talent,
# and the military became much more selective.
# Well meaning legislation, such as
The American with
Disabilities Act have created a paper war, ESOL ( English for
Speakers of Other Languages ) is a nightmare, and that is only
one of dozens of 'special this' and 'required that' which tie the
system into knots and divert need attention from helping kids
learn to learn. Case law has added more problems and makes everyone
too worried.
The American comprehensive high school mostly prepared factory
workers, ( Suburbs offered academic schools for upper middle
class parents ) lower middle class women found teaching a social
step up, and boys in trouble went to work or to the military.
Now teaching is a low status factory job, boys in trouble cause
trouble ( a lot more violent because of T.V. and single parents )
..
SO the answer is....
Small, smart, stable schools that meet the social biological
needs of children. ( District # 5 in NYC )
Military or CCC detachments of young men that would end up in
jail - not just boot camps but two years of military type service
for anyone that wanted to join ( or go to jail - a choice parents
and Judges used to use a lot ).
National Schools for talented:
National magnate schools foundation, ( and teacher training
institutes ) were the teachers are federal civil servants paid
and treated as professionals would be a model and a good start,
like in North Carolina. Started for the 1 % "genius" these
schools could moving toward the 5 % of children doing world
class academic work, especially in science, engineering and math.
The crisis of the Talent gap could promote a national set of
pattern schools, as lab schools, test beds R & D centers.
The regional
educational labs should always have had a school of their own.
University schools could be more important. Private models can be
used.
National
Charter schools could escape from the petty fogging
bureaucracy of state departments of education. I have one in
mind.

The majority of people want less government, want to take power away from Washington, want to reduce regulation, etc. but have not been ready to face this central issue, a systems problem, the way system works makes the achievement of their desires impossible. Republican committee chairmen are the same as their Democratic colleagues.
They need the power, to hurt or help, to raise the money to stay in office.
The American comprehensive high school mostly prepared factory
workers, ( Suburbs offered academic schools for upper middle
class parents ) lower middle class women found teaching a social
step up, and boys in trouble went to work or to the military.
Now teaching is a low status factory job, boys in trouble cause
trouble ( a lot more violent because of T.V. and single parents )
..
SO the answer is....
Small, smart, stable schools that meet the social biological
needs of children. ( District # 5 in NYC )
Military or CCC detachments of young men that would end up in
jail - not just boot camps but two years of military type service
for anyone that wanted to join ( or go to jail - a choice parents
and Judges used to use a lot ).
National Schools for talented:
National magnate schools foundation, ( and teacher training
institutes ) were the teachers are federal civil servants paid
and treated as professionals would be a model and a good start,
like in North Carolina. Started for the 1 % "genius" these
schools could moving toward the 5 % of children doing world
class academic work, especially in science, engineering and math.
The crisis of the Talent gap could promote a national set of
pattern schools, as lab schools, test beds R & D centers.
The regional
educational labs should always have had a school of their own.
University schools could be more important. Private models can be

RE:
The Candidate:
We all know the "system" doesn't work. Politics gets more and more unreal. We need a constitutional convention called by the states.
The reforms would be to design a more parliamentary form of government with responsible political parties, some form of proportional representation. We helped write a excellent constitution for the German Federal Republic, under General Clay's position during the occupation ( 1946 - 7 ) and we have the talent to reform ourselves. We can't expect the system in Washington to reform itself. We have to understand how the system really works and what it will take to change it.
We all have different talents. In public affairs there are those that are smart as legislators, with the complex skills of deal making, as managers, good at promoting their ideas, fixers and wheeler dealers, and some at being great candidates. Only Franklin Roosevelt was good at it all.
Bob Dole has to be one of the worse candidates in years. He has many other talents but running for office, in a media context, is not one of them. Bill Clinton is a great Candidate and has some talents in other areas.
The result is the quality of choice is very limited, almost meaningless, so people are turned off. Most other countries have stable political parties with internal discipline.
Their leaders are tested in important talents besides being a candidate. Most of the other industrial states have more reasonable governments. This gives them an advantage in bi-lateral negations, in industrial policy, in education and infrastructure, and makes others more competitive in the world economy than we are.
Money and politics:
The goal of political reform should be to take away the profit motive in our election process.
The attempts to control money by regulation is hopeless because if individuals have personal power, the market will find a way around any rules. If we had disciplined national parties, individual candidates and office holders would not have the power to shake down organizations for money.
There is
synergy
between money and politics, and we end up with the best government money can buy.
The issue is NOT only that greedy special interests bribe hungry politicians, but there is a shake down - or protection racket going on. When you need money as a candidate, you suggest some awful piece of tax policy, regulation, that would cost an industry a lot of money.
Then they pay up. In local politics the example is how sheriffs and boot leggers work together to spread the money around. Using high sounding rhetoric there are extensive rules controlling taxes, booze, drugs, land use, big budgets, contracts, grants, etc. all which give the power to benefit, or threaten and get paid off.
Individual members of parliament do not have the power to threaten or benefit contributors. But the current system can not reform itself ?
The idea is to have disciplined parties that actually preform on their campaign platform.

We all have different talents. In public affairs there are those that are smart as legislators, with the complex skills of deal making, as managers, good at promoting their ideas, fixers and wheeler dealers, and some at being great candidates. Only Franklin Roosevelt was good at it all.
Bob Dole has to be one of the worse candidates in years. He has many other talents but running for office, in a media context, is not one of them. Bill Clinton is a great Candidate and has some talents in other areas.
The result is the quality of choice is very limited, almost meaningless, so people are turned off. Most other countries have stable political parties with internal discipline.
Their leaders are tested in important talents besides being a candidate. Most of the other industrial states have more reasonable governments. This gives them an advantage in bi-lateral negations, in industrial policy, in education and infrastructure, and makes others more competitive in the world economy than we are.
Money and politics:
The goal of political reform should be to take away the profit motive in our election process.
The attempts to control money by regulation is hopeless because if individuals have personal power, the market will find a way around any rules. If we had disciplined national parties, individual candidates and office holders would not have the power to shake down organizations for money.
There is
synergy
between money and politics, and we end up with the best government money can buy.
The issue is NOT only that greedy special interests bribe hungry politicians, but there is a shake down - or protection racket going on. When you need money as a candidate, you suggest some awful piece of tax policy, regulation, that would cost an industry a lot of money.
Then they pay up. In local politics the example is how sheriffs and boot leggers work together to spread the money around. Using high sounding rhetoric there are extensive rules controlling taxes, booze, drugs, land use, big budgets, contracts, grants, etc. all which give the power to benefit, or threaten and get paid off.
Individual members of parliament do not have the power to threaten or benefit contributors. But the current system can not reform itself ?
The idea is to have disciplined parties that actually preform on their campaign platform.
The candidates for a real party can's just do what ever they want once elected.
The majority of people want less government, want to take power away from Washington, want to reduce regulation, etc. but have not been ready to face this central issue, a systems problem, the way system works makes the achievement of their desires impossible. Republican committee chairmen are the same as their Democratic colleagues.
They need the power, to hurt or help, to raise the money to stay in office.
