Mike S
Conservatives Lobby For the "Further Defense Of Marriage Act"
If the first Defense Of Marriage act was not cruel and invasive enough, ultra-conservative homophobic bigots are now pushing for a new "Further Defense Of Marriage Act". Right wing homophobes felt the first Defense Of Marriage Act was not anti-homo enough for their religous fanaticism. The FDOMA will change the federal definition of marriage to be defined as "A union between a man and a tree". This keeps in consistency with the right wing's belief that abstinence is the only path to salvation. Since the first defense of marriage act defined marriage as a union between a man and a woman, Rush Limbaugh brought up the question, "why stop there?". Limbaugh plugged the "FDOMA" on his radio show, going into an hour long tirade about how men and women are the same species, and if they are allowed to marry each other, the marriage is still somewhat homogenous- homo means same, and since a man and woman are the same species, it can technically be percieved by some as homogenous for male and female humans to marry. John Ashcroft gave a speech at bob Jones university, exclaiming "when will it end? we have been tricked into this whole reproduction thing- when we have children, they are the same species as us- it is homogenous, and homogenity is the path to homosexuality. First we have sex with the same species and the next thing we know we're having sex with the same gender! We must draw the line somewhere. from now on, we will make it illegal for humans to have sex with other humans, or even other mammals for that matter! Mammals are also too similar to us! We must have sex with things that are as different from us as possible! From now on, we must restrict ourselves to having sex with plants and stones." Bush was thrilled with the new proposal. Bush exclaimed, "Bibles are made from paper, which comes from trees, and I sleep with my Bible every night, so this act will be perfect for me. I'm sure Laura will understand. She is the same species as me, and that's only one step away from being the same gender." Laura Bush could not be reached for comment. She was last seen having a candlelit dinner with Rudolf Guliani. |

LA HIP HOP PIONEER JULIO G FIRED
Cesar A Cruz
From Davey D......
LA HIP HOP PIONEER JULIO G FIRED Bad news for Hip Hop fans in LA. Long time fixture and Hip Hop pioneer Julio G has been given the ax at KKBT The Beat. For those who are familiar with Julio, it comes as a total shock and disappointment. Julio's roots go way back to LA early Hip Hop days when the legendary radio station KDAY was around. He was an original member of the famed mixmasters crew which included people Joe Cooley, MWalk, and Tony G. KDAY of course was the country's first Hip Hop oriented rap station. Julio's on air presence was a reminder to all of just how deep rooted LA's Hip Hop scene was. He had a strong connection with many of the area's artists and was well respected. He had also come a long ways since his first days on air when he was a bit nervous and unsure of himself. Over time he developed into a seasoned professional who conducted some of the best on air interviews around. I like to call his the Tavis Smily of Hip Hop because of his ability to engage both the artists and the audience with his interviews. Over the past few years Julio has made his mark with his Westside Radio program which was initially started by his longtime friend the late Eazy E. The firing of Julio G is just the latest in a series of moves made by the Beat since it changed owners last fall- While many have been proud of the accomplishments of Black owned Radio One, many are troubled by the fact that it has let go some of the country's most stellar Hip Hop shows and personalities. The Beat let the Baka Boys go, The Wake Up Show and now Julio G. What gives??? Inquiring minds wanna know? As for now folks can catch up with Julio over at escrito por Davey D ---------------------------------------------- Cesar A.

LA Culture Net is a forum in which arts administrators, artists, and anyone passionate about the arts in Los Angeles County can communicate with each other. Originally launched by the Getty Center in 1995 in response to interest from local arts, cultural, and educational institutions, the listserv now exists on its own, with some support provided by the Los Angeles County Arts Commission. Appropriate postings include announcements of arts events, job listings in the field, and cultural policy discussions about all topics, including advocacy. 2.

AMTRAK TRAVEL INFORMATION Greetings. listservI. LISTSERV - 揌elp me if you can, I抦 feelin down�.� We have a problem. We want this update to go to every Executive Director and Board Chair of every arts organization in the state, plus other interested staff / board members. Our database lists the contact person designated in the grants application on file. For small arts groups, this contact is likely the Executive Director, as smaller organizations often only have one or two full-time staff members. But for midsize and large organizations, the contact person might be the Development Director or other person. If you are NOT the Executive Director of an arts organization, <mailto:listserve4@...> PLEASE click HERE, and enter the name of your organization, the name of the Executive Director, name of Board Chair and his/her e-mail address and send it. Please do it right now, before you forget. This is very important to me, and I appreciate you taking the time to do it now. I am using this tool as the primary means of getting out important information and it is critical to have this listserv include all the Executive Directors. Thank you. jointII. JOINT CONGRESS UPDATE � Ok, you抳e put it off long enough� 揚lenty of rooms at the Hotel California厰 Registrations / Hotels: The Sheraton is sold out. There are 65 rooms left at the Holiday Inn, and 55 rooms left at the Radisson. Click here for the direct dial numbers <> In reviewing the current registration list, I note that many of you who have told me they plan to come, and to whom I talk frequently, have NOT YET REGISTERED. Grantees are expected to attend. Travel Scholarship Support: 揟he best things in life are free, but you can give them to the birds and bees, I need MONEY, that抯 what I want�..� We should know within 10 days exactly how much travel support will be available. I believe that we will have $40-50,000 in total support available. I am informed that the Marin Community Foundation working directly with the Marin Arts Council is prepared to provide support to virtually every arts group in that county that wants to attend. Get in touch with <mailto:jeanne@...> Jeanne Bogardus at 415.449.8350 for details. There will be support for all sectors of the state. This support is in the way of a REIMBURSEMENT � you must register and submit invoices for your travel and lodging costs and then you will be reimbursed. The amount of reimbursement will depend on the total number of people applying, and need, but I believe every request will be honored within a 30-60% of the total travel and lodging cost - $100-300 range. That means that in all probability everyone with a need for funding can attend the Joint Congress at a total cost of $200 or less (including travel, lodging and registration) AT A MAXIMUM. The $95 registration fee including all meals is $10 less than what it will cost us. Interactive Survey � 揟ell me what I say�..� The Friday morning instant interactive survey of the arts community will provide all of us with useful information as to what the arts community sees as our needs, priorities, assets, etc. It will allow us to break down by a range of criteria who thinks what. Next week, we will ask you to help us make sure that the survey design includes all the kinds of information we want to generate. Please be thinking about what kinds of questions would be important to ask. Friday Morning Group Meets Set 揥e are family..,.,..� The following groups have meeting rooms set aside for Friday mid-morning: * CAAE � Arts Education * Theater Community * Dance Community * Literature / Poetry * ACSO � Symphonies * CAM � Museums * CALAA � local arts agencies * Cal Presenters * Multicultural Arts * Folk Arts Members of these groups / discipline communities plan on meeting to discuss issues relevant to their fields � contact Service Provider groups for more information. Details in the Congress Schedule. budgetIII. BUDGET / SENATE SUBCOMMITTEE #4 HEARING � 揑 can抰 get no satisfaction厖�..� 揗onday, Monday, Can抰 trust that day厖�.� Yesterday, we appeared before Senate Budget Subcommittee #4. The proposed $27 million augmentation was put on the same list as many other proposed augmentations to be considered after the May Revise when the Legislature and Governor have a more accurate picture of how much money the state will have next year. While not entirely unexpected, this was disappointing, in that we had argued that the total augmentation would, if the Legislature would resist new pork bills, actually reflect a 8.4% reduction in the current level of funding, and install a more equitable and fair mechanism to address the real and expanding cultural infrastructure needs. This is precisely the position approved by this committee and the State Senate last year. I cannot fault the action taken; it is prudent to keep all the options open until all the facts are known, but this does not necessarily bode well for the level of support the arts have. The committee抯 action simply further points out that unsettled nature of things due to the energy crisis, and that the arts have very little power and influence. While we have wide support, we have no real leverage or power. In large measure the Joint Congress is about this issue � and this issue will determine the future of the arts. kidsIV. KIDS POSTER CONTEST DEADLINE The student energy conservation poster contest deadline is May 14th. Winners to receive their awards at the Joint Congress. Go to the website for info <> and pass the word to those in your community. randomV. RANDOM NOTES - I am delighted to add our congratulations to Melanie Beene (the Hewitt Foundation) who will be moving to the James Irvine Foundation as the Arts Program Officer, one of the duties left open by the departure of Cora Mirikitani. If anyone can transition as Cora抯 replacement, it is Melanie. This is wonderful news for the arts. CAC Deputy Director Paul Minicucci has been elected to both the Board of Trustees and the Executive Committee of WESTAF. calendarVI.

Model Arts Program Network History
The Model Arts Program Network (M.A.P. Network) provides a school district self-study, self-assessment and planning process for establishing quality, standards-based arts education programs for all students. The 22 participating school districts are funded through the California Department of Education ARTS WORK Grant program. The network activities are the result of collaboration between the school districts, the California Department of Education, the California Alliance for Arts Education, the California Arts Council, and The California Arts Project. The network partners developed arts program self-study resources and then used them locally to help guide arts education program implementation. The resulting self-assessment toolkit represents a journey; it is not intended to prescribe a path. In developing and sustaining dynamic school-based arts education programs, a self-assessment and planning process helps reveal success, identify needs, and create further questions. The participating districts are finding that the self-assessment process results in meeting the goal of enabling the young people in California public schools to learn in and through the arts leading to fulfilling and productive, creative and expressive lives. Each district in the network made a commitment to develop standards-based arts education programs in dance, music, theatre, and visual arts. This includes comprehensive curriculum and instruction in the arts, a long-range arts program implementation plan, and collaborative agreements with, for example, outside consultants, arts education providers, arts organizations, arts and arts related business and industry, artists, parents and volunteers. Why is the work of the M.A.P Network important? It makes explicit a broad vision of education in the arts. It brings understanding to the local school communities regarding the delivery of arts programs and the improvement of student learning in the arts. The network activities build on the CDE鈥檚 Visual and Performing Arts Framework for California Public Schools, Kindergarten Through Grade Twelve (1996) and will help all school districts move toward providing standards-based arts program in alignment with the State Board of Education adopted Content Standards in the Visual and Performing Arts (2001). The primary goal of this project is to provide outstanding arts education programs for all California students at each grade level by connecting school districts to their entire community of thinkers, learners, and arts providers and to arts education communities throughout the state.
