[scifinoir2] Big Artistic Performance to Be Set in Space
ahar...@earthlink.net Big Artistic Performance to Be Set in Space This sounds like fun. Mark your calendars, gang - Stardate Oct. 9 Big Artistic Performance to Be Set in Space (http://www.space.com/missionlaunches/090902-space-tourist-canada.html) By Clara Moskowitz, Staff Writer posted: 02 September 2009 The first ever widely acknowledged artistic performance from space will be broadcast from the International Space Station on Oct. 9. Orchestrated by Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberte, who is set to launch to the station as a space tourist Sept. 30, the event will feature artists performing from 14 cities around the world, as well as Laliberte broadcasting from space. Laliberte described the event, called Moving Stars and Earth for Water, as a poetic social mission to communicate the importance water has for the planet and its people. Scientists have warned that water shortages rank with energy and food issues around the globe as top governmental issues now and in the future. Global million-dollar effort The Canadian acrobat is due to fly along with two professional astronauts aboard a Russian Soyuz spacecraft from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. Laliberte booked his trip with the Russian Federal Space Agency through the U.S. firm Space Adventures, which usually charges about $30 million for the excursions. Laliberte is set to stay aboard the International Space Station for about 12 days. In addition to founding Cirque du Soleil, Laliberte started the ONE DROP Foundation, which aims to fight poverty in the world by working to provide clean water to everyone. This artistic mission will permit me to raise awareness for [the] water issue, Laliberte said Wednesday in a press conference. I believe through art and emotion we can convey a universal message. The artistic event is planned to be broadcast simultaneously on Oct. 9 at 8:00 p.m. ET ( GMT) on huge screens in 14 cities, as well as online at Onedrop.org and Aol.com. A cadre of personalities, including former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, Peter Gabriel, Shakira, and U2, are set to perform from Montreal, Moscow, Johannesburg, Mumbai, Marrakesh, Sydney, Tokyo, Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro, Paris, and London, as well as the U.S. cities New York, Santa Monica, and Tampa. Laliberte has been working with various artists on a poetic fairy tale that will tell about the importance of water through the perspective of four characters: a star, the moon, the sun and a drop of water. During the event, artists in each city will read part of the tale, as well as perform in other ways. Laliberte will also read from space coordinate the worldwide events. People should see that as a moment where the voices of the world are unifying in a specific moment and participating at an event together to talk about water, he said. This is a moment of great friendship, of great artistic rendering, I believe, and hopefully this artistic project will touch people. Though Laliberte is spending millions of dollars on this project, he said he thinks it's worth it. The space community is excited about this project, he said. We're building up a global event. I don't know what will be the end result, but so far, so good, and we're very, very happy. Training for months Laliberte has been training for moths alongside professional spaceflyers in Russia's Star City for his mission. Soon he and his crewmates, Russian Cosmonaut Maksim Surayev and NASA astronaut Jeffrey Williams, will fly to Baikonur and enter quarantine in advance of their launch. Surayev and Williams are due to take up long-term residence on the space station as Expedition 21 crewmembers. I'm starting to get some butterflies inside me flying around, Laliberte said. I'm starting to get the little buzz of going up there. Laliberte, 50, is married and has five children. He said traveling to space has been a dream of his since he was a young boy watching men land on the moon for the first time. This whole thing is so much a privilege, Laliberte said.This is a fairly tale for me. Laliberte is due to become the seventh private explorer to journey to space. The last space tourist to fly was Charles Simonyi, a Hungarian software executive who made his second trip to the space station in March, also brokered through Space Adventures.

The problem? We shouldn't be *paying* for citywide wifi! A few years back, several cities in the US--Philadelphia, Chicago, San Francisco, Atlanta--either proposed free citywide wifi for the populace, or were actually in the process of implementing it. What happened? The telecoms cried foul!, said it was unfair competition, and went to work with their lobbyists. As result, state legislatures all over the country started quashing the concept. So now, instead of cash-strapped people being able to access wifi without having to pay for a meal or coffee or something, they have to pay forty bucks a month for the privilege. Just as with health care, until Americans get that making some things available to all people actually *helps* all people, stuff like this will continue.

And he's playing a detective. Again. Hudson will be playing Captain Lubbock, a Baltimore cop who's seeking to capture one of the other characters. This follows the previous key casting announcement for the upcoming fourth season of Heroes, which introduces a new storyline about a traveling carnival of people with special powers, run by a charismatic but evil Earth-moving ringleader (Robert Knepper). And yes, it's true: they're working on Ghostbusters III for 2012 – with the original cast. The new writers are Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky (The Office, Year One). That could work, if the humor leans more toward the former than the latter. Dan Ackroyd says filming could start as soon as this winter. The plan is for it to be a passing-the-torch kind of movie, which is what you might expect so many years on from the original films. People may lie, but the evidence rarely does.

So now, instead of cash-strapped people being able to access wifi without having to pay for a meal or coffee or something, they have to pay forty bucks a month for the privilege. Just as with health care, until Americans get that making some things available to all people actually *helps* all people, stuff like this will continue.

And he's playing a detective. Again. Hudson will be playing Captain Lubbock, a Baltimore cop who's seeking to capture one of the other characters. This follows the previous key casting announcement for the upcoming fourth season of Heroes, which introduces a new storyline about a traveling carnival of people with special powers, run by a charismatic but evil Earth-moving ringleader (Robert Knepper). And yes, it's true: they're working on Ghostbusters III for 2012 – with the original cast. The new writers are Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky (The Office, Year One). That could work, if the humor leans more toward the former than the latter. Dan Ackroyd says filming could start as soon as this winter. The plan is for it to be a passing-the-torch kind of movie, which is what you might expect so many years on from the original films. People may lie, but the evidence rarely does.

Some of those Midwestern farm types and cowboys out in Montana and the like eat a lot of parts that others would want to throw away.

They have these little green pavilions setup at movie theatres, in shopping center parking lots, etc. They guarantee wifi service all over the city, for home and laptops, and from what I hear, it's pretty good, pretty widespread, and pretty reliable. The problem? We shouldn't be *paying* for citywide wifi! A few years back, several cities in the US--Philadelphia, Chicago, San Francisco, Atlanta--either proposed free citywide wifi for the populace, or were actually in the process of implementing it. What happened? The telecoms cried foul!, said it was unfair competition, and went to work with their lobbyists. As result, state legislatures all over the country started quashing the concept. So now, instead of cash-strapped people being able to access wifi without having to pay for a meal or coffee or something, they have to pay forty bucks a month for the privilege. Just as with health care, until Americans get that making some things available to all people actually *helps* all people, stuff like this will continue. In this country, capitalism and the myth of rugged individualism are considered near-Divine concepts, even as the big companies and those in power screw the populace.

That means that if they succeed that they can slow down the speed to 128k and still call it broadband. It is possible that ATT, Comcast and others are trying to change the definition so they don't have to spend money bringing broadband to rural customers. Many of whom don't receive anything or very slow dialup. This way they can squeak by and pocket the rest of the money that Obama is offering them. Meanwhile in Japan and Europe they have 80megbits per second speeds. Did you know that we are ranked at 19th in the world for internet speed?
