 | Echo of Light (Trance Song) This is a song I wrote a while ago. Just figured I'd finally post it on youtube through some imaging. It's a pretty mellow song which isn't as upbeat as the others. I've been told by friends that it makes a good song to study to. Hope you all like it. |

Allucquére Rosanne Stone Sandy Stone Ph.D. Wolfgang Köhler Chair at EGS, and is the Wolfgang Köhler Professor, department of Radio-TV-Film, and Director, Advanced Communication Technology Lab, University of Texas at Austin. Director of the Group for the Study of Visual Systems at the Center of Cultural Studies, University of California at Santa Cruz. Sandy Stone has has organized several international conferences on cyberspace in Santa Cruz, Austin, Banff/Canada, and Karlsruhe, Germany, between 1991-1995. Author of The War of Desire and Technology at the Close of the Mechanical Age. In 1974 Stone settled in Santa Cruz, California, and undertook gender reassignment with the Stanford Gender Dysphoria Program in Palo Alto. During this period she published pseudonymously in "The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction" and "Galaxy" magazine. Later she became a member of the Olivia Records collective, a popular women's music label. In 1987 Stone was accepted in the History of Consciousness program at the University of California, where she studied with Donna Haraway and James Clifford. Stone wrote the seminal essay "The Empire Strikes Back: A Posttranssexual Manifesto" while Haraway's student. The paper was influenced by Haraway's A Manifesto For Cyborgs (later retitled "A Cyborg Manifesto" and first published in Social Text, 1984) and by the turbulent political foment in feminism of that period, but primarily as a reaction to what Stone perceived as a transphobic strain in feminist academia exemplified by Raymond's book. "The Empire Strikes Back" later became the center of an extensive citation network of transgendered academics and a foundational work for transgendered researchers and theorists. The central point of the essay was that transgendered persons were ill-served by hiding their status, and that coming out -- which Stone called "reading oneself aloud" -- would inevitably lead to self-empowerment. Thus Empire Strikes Back rearticulated what was at the time a radical gay-lesbian political statement into a transgendered voice. The importance of this move lay in the political circumstance of the 1980s vis-a-vis mainstream gay and lesbian political action at the national level in the United States. During this period, mainstream gay and lesbian activists generally suppressed transgender issues and visible transgendered activists, fearing that they would frighten the uncertain and still shaky liberal base during a delicate period of consolidation. At this critical juncture, and against mainstream efforts to silence fringe voices, Empire Strikes Back galvanized a largely scattered and disorganized population of young transgendered scholars and focused the attention of this demographic on the need for self-assertion within a largely reactionary institutional structure.

 | How Libraries Raise Money - part 09 of 28 On Monday, February 11, two noted library directors will participated in a public forum at Knight Memorial Library entitled "How Libraries Raise Money." They discussed the development strategies they have used and reflected upon what has worked and what hasn't and why. Their experiences and insights will provide an invaluable perspective as Providence city officials, PPL trustees and library supporters consider PPL's future options. Director Kathryn Taylor has led Westerly Public Library for the past ten years, after nearly twenty years as Littleton NH public library director where she earned that library an "Excellence in Rural Libraries Award." Since becoming WPL director, Ms. Taylor has increased the library's visibility in the community, thereby increasing public support for fund-raising as well. The Westerly Public Library has one of the highest circulation figures in the state of Rhode Island and it is currently in the midst of a multi- million dollar capital campaign to raise money for space reallocation in the library and renovations to the adjoining Wilcox Park. With strong support from surrounding communities, committed public officials and an impressive number of library advocates, the fund-raising campaign is making so much progress that it has been highlighted by Act for Libraries. Having spent many years as a librarian in affluent suburbs, Louise Blalock took on the challenges of heading a large urban library system in a city confronting economic distress when she became chief librarian of the Hartford Public Library in 1994. Her achievements at HPL have resulted in her selection as Librarian of the Year by the Library Journal in 2001. Hartford Mayor Michael Peters has asserted that she "created a new, modern, urban model focused on the diverse needs of the many cultures that represent our city and has forged strong partnerships with the schools and neighborhoods." Paul Shipman of the HPL board has been equally impressed with her achievements, noting that "while difficult economic times in the 1990s could have resulted in belt-tightening at the library, [she] galvanized government and public support [and] not only preserved all nine branches but succeeded in starting a multimillion-dollar campaign to upgrade several branches and nearly double the size of the Central Library." Both Kathryn Taylor and Louise Blalock have undertaken a variety of successful fundraising campaigns, using diverse approaches and tactics and enlisting the aid of public officials, library patrons, donors, board members, and corporate sponsors. They have also learned to be realistic, to be aware that some efforts are likely to be more effective than others, to understand that sometimes libraries can't raise enough money to support all the programs, services and building upgrades they might wish for--but also to know that one mustn't aim too low, either. The Library Reform Group held this public forum, at Knight Memorial Library, 275 Elmwood Avenue, from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. |
