Patch, the hyperlocal website from AOL, is totally off-putting. - By Jack Shafer - Slate Magazine
My local Patch isn't terrible, but I visit it primarily out of professional duty. As much as I hate to extrapolate my own narrowness onto other people, I'm convinced that Web users are more interested in hypercoverage of their interests —sports teams, hobbies, food, vacations, family, games, et al.—than they are of the starving-artists exhibition at the farmer's market, increasing parking-meter rates, the city budget, local real estate prices, or many of the other topics covered in Patch.
Driving up McCagg Road on my way to the Martin Van Buren birthday memorial, I passed Kinderhook Creek, and a blue metal plaque appeared, marking his birth site. The original house is gone, but, even in the light rain, the site is beautiful, as it must have been when the young Van Buren was growing up in these natural and harmonious surroundings. Just a bit further up the road, his final resting place in Kinderhook Cemetery is marked by a granite obelisk. Only a mile separates these points, but the course his life took between them had a powerful effect on our new nation, and even upon the world. During the grave site ceremony, a presidential honor guard presents arms, and wreathes are laid.

The American Monetary Institute
The American Monetary Institute is a publicly supported charity founded in 1996. The real outcomes in society – whether there will be general economic justice or corrupt financial privileges for the few – are usually determined by the structure of a society’s monetary system. September 21, 2011: Congressman Dennis Kucinich introduced an employment bill reforming our money system: The NEED Act proposes a historic money reform, containing all the monetary provisions of the American Monetary Act including ending “fractional reserve” banking. Important progress has been achieved in the ongoing pursuit of monetary reform. With the endorsement by the 29,000 strong Chicago Teachers Union, the NEED Act is gaining substantial momentum in the efforts to clean up our country’s unjust monetary system.

ISSUE PROJECT ROOM
Artist-in-Residence Sergei Tcherepnin will give the first performance of his residency with Woody Sullender on April 4, 2012 . Tcherepnin and Sullender construct sites for listening, touching, and direct engagement with sonic material. Their temporary architecture of tactile speakers disperses the duo’s live electronic music in performance. In April, they will present their largest-scale piece yet: a work that will include rooms within rooms, difference tone doorways, and listening tables. As objects and bodies are reorganized in space, musical and physical structures will emerge and disappear. Woody Sullender: We first started working together casually maybe a couple of years ago.Perhaps you've wondered what it would be like to travel around the world like Anthony Bourdain, eating exotic and rare foods.
