SOLICITATION IN GOOD TASTE

The performance went great, and we now have firmly established 
several relationships with art institutions that can bring reciprocal 
performances back to New York.  We have even established resources to 
help in building an art&technology center in the Bronx. Great Times!

We also had a severe RV breakdown, and due to the costs, do not have 
the funds to come home!!!  So we are asking people to pitch in to 
help sponsor our trip back home! For a sponsorship of $100 or more, 
you will get a signed and matted photo of our journey, along with a 
book of poetry by rafael and a hand-drawn postcard by joseph&donna, 
plus an invitation to a sponsors-only party where we will regail you 
with poetry and stories of our trip. 

Please go to http://www.corporatepa.com/adsponsor/ and sponsor any 
amount that will help us out.  

Also, we are announcing that we are going to Burning Man this year 
and have two places in the RV for the trip!  We are selling those 
places as a fund raiser to the highest bidders.  Minimum $3000 per 
seat. Come enjoy the dessert, the fun, the art, the freedom, the 
creativity, the spontenaety, the in-crowd, the naked bicycle rides!!!

Defending the Bill of Rights

A diverse movement to protect civil liberties is bringing together 
strange bedfellows: far-right militias and lobbying groups, left and 
liberal NGOs and community organizations, libertarians and the NRA.

At one with the universe

Is the brain simply a computer, and is consciousness merely the 
feeling we get when we  think? Or is consciousness a primary 
component of the universe, which the brain can latch on to, like a 
radio...

Purdue researchers discover basis for biological clock

*************************
Purdue researchers have discovered a protein that is responsible for 
setting the length of periods of activity and inactivity within 
cells. If the ECTO-NOX protein is altered, an organism's body will 
experience "days" of different length -- ranging from 22 to 42
hours in length in some cases....

Advice to Microsoft regarding commodity software

The market for shrink-wrap PC software began its slow upmarket ooze 
into Christensen obsolescence right around the time that Microsoft 
really hit its stride. That was also the time of the Internet wave, a 
phenomenon that Microsoft co-opted without ever really internalizing 
into product wisdom. While those qualified to move the state of the 
art forward went down in the millennial flames of the dotcom crash, 
Microsoft's rigorous belief in the physics of business reality saved 
both the day and the profits. But the tide had turned, and a 
realization that "the net" was a far more interesting place than "the 
PC" began to creep into the heads of consumers and enterprises 
alike...

Christo Announces

World famous artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude have today announced
a new project that is slated to be begin immediately.  Responding to
U.S. Homeland Defense Secretary Ridge's call for artists to rally the 
cause
through anti-terrorist art, Christo has received permission to wrap 
the
White House in Washington D.C., using duct tape and plastic sheeting. 
Much
like the artist's 1995 project "Wrapped Reichstag" in Berlin, "Wrapped
White House" will, according to the artists' plan, seal the building 
and those
inside.

Of the project the artists said, "We are very excited to use our art 
making
methods in the international fight against terrorists. By wrapping the
White House we hope to help keep terrorism under wraps, so to 
speak."  Unlike
"Wrapped Reichstag" which was a temporary project, "Wrapped White 
House"
will be the artists' first permanent work of public art.

100,000 square meters (1,076,000 square feet) of clear high-strength
polypropylene plastic, and 15,600 meters (51,181 feet) of silver duct
tape, 13.2 cm (4 inch) wide, will be used for the wrapping of the 
White House.
The work will be completed in as little as one week.  The artist's 
have
contacted other artists across the U.S. who are now in-route to 
Washington
D.C. in order to finish this work in record time.  Materials have 
been 
provided without charge by the German Government.  Recalling 
the "Wrapped
Reichstag," German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder stated, "Wrapping the 
symbol of
German Democracy was a defining moment for the new Germany. Wrapping 
the White
House will likewise be a defining moment as democracy is restored in 
America."
