In today's NPR Morning Edition, Nina Totenberg said that if the Supreme
Court supports Congress, it is in effect the end of NEA (National Endowment
for the Arts). This situation creates great concerns about Congressional
funding for creative arts in America, since NEA provides Major support for
NPR (National Public Radio) & PBS (Public Broadcasting System), and numerous
other creative and performing arts.
If NEA is lost or weakened, our lives are similarly diminished. In spite of
the efforts of each station to reduce pending costs and streamline their
services, some government officials believe that the funding currently going
to these programs is too large a portion of funding for something which is
seen as not worthwhile. Currently, taxes from the general public for PBS
equal $1.12 per person per year, and the National Endowment for the Arts
equals $.64 a year.
A January 1995 CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll indicated that 76% of Americans
wish to keep funding for PBS, third only to national defense And law
enforcement as the most valuable programs for federal funding. Each year,
the Senate and House Appropriations committees each have 13 subcommittees
with jurisdiction over many programs and agencies. Each subcommittee passes
its own appropriation bill. The goal each year is to have each bill signed
by the beginning of the fiscal year, which is October 1.
The only way that our representatives can be aware of the base of support
for PBS and funding for these types of programs is by making our voices
heard.
Please add your name to this list and forward it to friends who believe in
favor of what this stands for. This list will be forwarded to the President
of the United States, the Vice President of the United States, and the
Speaker Of The House, the office of which has in the past been the
instigator of the action to cut funding to these worthwhile programs.
This petition is being passed around the Internet. Please add your name to
it so that funding can be maintained for the NEA, NPR & PBS. Please keep
this petition rolling.
Do not reply to me. Please sign and forward to others to sign. If you prefer
not to sign, please send to the e-mail address indicated. This is being
forwarded to several people at once to add their names to the petition.
It won't matter if many people receive the same list as the names are being
managed. This is for anyone who thinks NPR/PBS is a worthwhile expenditure
of $1.12/year of their taxes. A petition follows. If you sign, please
forward on to others. If not, please don't kill it.
If you happen to be the 150th, 200th, 250th , etc., signer of this petition,
please forward a copy to: wein2688@blue.univnorthco.edu
This way we can keep track of the lists and organize them.
Forward this to everyone you know, and help us to
keep these programs alive.
Thank you.
NOTE: It is preferable that you SELECT the entirety of this letter and then
COPY it into a new outgoing message, rather than simply forwarding it. In
your new outgoing message, add your name to the bottom of the list, then

Message-ID: <14545.30361.572023.218837@korak.digicool.com>
Looks like someone tried to post a message with what appears to be the
Happy99.exe virus to ci@python.org, but it got caught because they had
no explicit destination on their message - something our mailing list
filters against. I discarded the message, and added the address
(thunder@barak-online.net) to the list of addresses forbidden to post
to the list - but i'm concerned that more may appear and get through.
The important note here is to *never* run an executable sent to you
for fun, even if it's forwarded by a friend. They may be sending you
something that seemed harmless when they tried it, but actually
infected their computer, without their realizing it. (It's even
possible in this case that the virus actually infected the sender's
account, and used their addressbook to forward itself to us - this is
a strategy recently being used by virus writers.)
It's kinda nice we had this warning, handily caught by a simple rule
in the mailing list software. We may not be so lucky next time, so
i'm hoping this warning to not run executables delivered in email
messages, even ones on the ci mailing list, will prevent serious
frustration and disruption that computer viruses can cause.
Be well,
Ken

Oh yeah, in case anyone is concerned - i didn't forward the entire
message, just a tiny and mangled snip that could not be executed. Just
so you can see what it looks like, bare (and in case anyone gets any
clues from the headers).

- All people are creative, because all people solve problems, make
decisions and bring about change.
- The manner in which we do so varies from person to person.
- Creativity is not a product of chance or random inspiration, it is
a process.
- It is less important to learn to "be more creative" than it is to
learn to use the creativity each one of us has.
- Creativity is a whole brained activity.

Huh - i guess i wasn't very clear! (A danger of not having enough time
and attention to do the job right...) Here's a quick stab:
Opening some attachments means running them, while opening others means
just viewing them.
What's weird is that some that you'd expect to be just viewing - hence
innocuous - are not. Specifically, word documents can have special word
code that gets executed as a program. The word code is ostensibly quite
limited - but not limited enough, some notorious viruses have been
transmitted in word documents. So i *think* people are fairly safe
opening text, html, and picture (jpg, gif) attachments, and maybe others -
but my rule of thumb would be, if you're not sure, don't. And if it
*looks* like a program, definitely don't.

The Zen Monkey Project
Summer 2000 Intensive Training.
9:30 a.m.-5 p.m.
Monday thru Friday
June 12-30
Cost: $450 (U.S.)
Come join Katharine Birdsall, Ray Eliot Schwartz, and members of the Zen
Monkey Project for three weeks of Body-Mind Centering, Alexander Technique,
Contact Improvisation, Release Technique, Vocabulary, Improvisation, and
Public Performance.
Since its inception in 1995, the Zen Monkey Project has been consistently
exploring the boundaries of somatic movement education and contemporary
dance forms. Their style is rigorous, experimental, and alive.
Investigating the body, developing dynamic presence, and supporting
curiosity are hallmarks of their distinctive synthesis.
The curriculum will include:
Body-Mind Centering (BMC):
BMC is a creative approach to embodiment and movement re-education. Its
principles guide the student on a journey towards understanding the powerful
wisdom contained within the substance of the human body as well as how this
substance is expressed through fundamental patterns of movement.
Alexander Technique: We will explore methods of freeing the body/mind from
postural sets, thus leading us away from the inertia of habit and towards a
way of being with ourselves; one which is responsive rather than than
reactive. We will have the opportunity to step out of the technique classes
which ask us to approach learning through the repetition of form and into a
world which offers refreshment in the everyday movements of standing,
sitting, lying down, and squatting. We will also investigate the work of
anthropologist Raymond Dart whose developmental movement patterns were
adopted by F.M. Alexander. The patterns consider movement from an
evolutionary point of view.
Contact Improvisation: Contact Improvisation is about becoming a conscious
mover while creating partnerships with yourself, your environment, and
others. Our time will be spent developing the basic principles of the form;
with special attention to warming up into the dance, rolling in and out of
the floor, following the point of contact, and weight sharing.
Technique: Daily class integrating comprehensive warm-ups, phrases, and
dynamic movement through space.
Vocabulary: We will use several methods to create individual, original
dancing languages. These include Authentic Movement, writing, recognition
of content during improvisation, building phrases from dynamic physical
states, and using text and/or music as source material.
Improvisation: How do we balance the internal focus of kinesthetic
experience with a generous and fully aware sense of what is going on around
us? Particular attention will be paid to differentiating "behaving" from
"composing". We will gain experience in qualitative variance as well as the
ability to make clear choices in relation to content, time, and space.
Public Performance: Students will have an opportunity to present work to
the Charlottesville community made prior to or during the workshop on the
final weekend in a "loft" style performance space with basic technical
support.
About Charlottesville and the New Dance Space:
The New Dance Space is located on Charlottesville's Downtown Mall, a
pedestrian mall designed by Lawrence Halprin, the husband of dance pioneer
Anna Halprin, and the architect responsible for the FDR Memorial in
Washington, D.C. The Mall is a vibrant cross-section of populations and
personalities which becomes even more lively in the summer. A "cafe"
ambiance and an incredibly warm community make hanging out not only a
pleasure but a fascinating show. Charlottesville itself is nestled in the
foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains, 20 minutes from the natural beauty of
the Blue Ridge Parkway/Skyline Drive and home to the University of Virginia
and Thomas Jefferson's other architectural delight, Monticello.
The faculty:
Ray Eliot Schwartz is a dancer, teacher, and choreographer. He is a
graduate of both the North Carolina School of the Arts and Virginia
Commonwealth University. He is a certified practitioner of Body-Mind
Centering and a founding member of Steve's House Dance Collective, the Zen
Monkey Project, and THEM. He travels extensively facilitating and studying
awareness and movement arts. Most recently he has been an instructor at
Columbia College for Women, Hollins University, Middlebury College, The
Governor's School for the Arts, and The Bates Dance Festival. He will be
teaching and performing in Europe this Spring as well as continuing to work
with the Zen Monkey Project and in private practice as a somatic educator.
Katharine Birdsall receieved her her B.A. in dance at Tisch School of the
Arts at NYU in 1991, and became a certified teacher of the Alexander
Technique in 1996. She has taught internationally and has had creative work
presented in New York City, New Hampshire, Florida, Belgium, Masachusetts,
North Carolina, and throughout Virginia. Her performing career has spanned
the broad range of concert and experimental dance. This includes many roles
in classical ballets and original roles in the work of Lisa DiRibere and Ben
Harkarvy. In the realm of modern dance, Katharine has performed the work of
Deborah Jowitt, Lynda Tarnay, David Parsons, BeBe Miller, David Hurwith, Ray
Eliot Schwartz, Savitri Durkee, Jenifer Clark, Lyndsey Rockwell, and Rachel
Shaw. As an inproviser she has performed extensively on her own, as well as
with ZMP, Felice Wolfzahn, Sycamore, Ann Law, and Tara Mooser. She has also
danced full seasons with Quiessence Dance in Washington D.C. and with Miki
Liszt Dance Co. in Charlottesville. Katharines's teaching is informed by
her studies of Contact Improvisation, Skinner Releasing, Klien Technique,
Alexander Technique, Zero Balancing, Ballet, Authentic Movement, Yoga, and
Tai Chi. She has been mostly devoted to developing and researching the
dancing process at New Dance Space and with the Zen Monkey Project since
1994.
Students are responsible for their own housing; June is a good month to
sublet here. Currently there is an option for free housing, get in touch for
