FCC Public Hearing on the Future of the Internet


We are in a unique moment in history when we can help to decide whether we have a closed Internet controlled by a small handful of giant corporations, or an open Internet controlled by the people who use it. Now is the time to speak up for an open internet free from corporate gatekeepers.

It is rare for all five members of the Federal Communications Commission to leave Washington, D.C., and they want to hear from you. There will be a public comment period - come speak up to save the Internet!

WHAT: Public Hearing on the Future of the Internet
WHEN: Thursday, April 17th
TIME: 12:00pm to 7:00pm
WHERE: Dinkelspiel Auditorium, Stanford University
(471 Lagunita Drive, Palo Alto, CA)
JOIN THE MOBILE ACTION TEAM - If you want cutting edge info and breaking news about the hearing join up and we'll send updates right to your phone.

Attend a Pre-Hearing Community Meeting. Local community organizations are hosting a series of community workshops to help brief people on these issues and help local citizens prepare their public testimony.

Soleri to speak in SF!

Paolo Soleri, Arcosanti

Born in Turin, Italy on June 21, 1919, Paolo Soleri was awarded his Ph.D. with highest honors in architecture from the Torino Polytechnico in 1946. He came to the United States in 1947 on a fellowship with Frank Lloyd Wright at Taliesin West in Arizona, and at Taliesin East in Wisconsin. His major project is Arcosanti, a prototype town for 5,000 people, under construction since 1970. Located at Cordes Junction, in central Arizona, the project is based on Soleri's concept of "Arcology," architecture coherent with ecology. His proposed cities would be for people on foot, not designed around automobiles, compact and three-dimensional, not two-dimensional, that is, not flat and scattered over large distances. Arcology advocates cities designed to maximize the interaction and accessibility associated with an urban environment; minimize the use of energy, raw materials and land, reducing waste and environmental pollution; and allow interaction with the surrounding natural environment.

lyrics
Dancing Barefoot - Allison Moorer

She is benediction
She is addicted to thee
She is a root connection
She is connectin' with he
Here I go, and I don't know why
I (fell) (spin) so ceaselessly
(Could it be he's taken over me)
(Did I lose my sense of gravity?)

I'm dancin' barefoot
(Headin' for a spin)
(In mid-air I spin)
Some strange music draws me in
Makes me come on like some heroine

She is sublimation
She is the essence of thee
She is concentratin' on he
The chosen of she

Here I go, and I don't know why
I (fell) (spin) so ceaselessly
(Could it be he's taken over me)
(Did I lose my sense of gravity?)



Oh God I fell for you again
