Radio and media news. Days after FCC commissioner Robert McDowell announced he was leaving, the chairman Julius Genachowski resigns. Both their resignation announcement speeches, two days apart, in the same building, were nearly identical, and this report compares the audio. We also tune in a report about the Mar 19, 2013 House Judiciary subcommittee meeting about updating the Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 (ECPA). Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas), heard here interviewing a Google spokesperson, does not seem to understand how Google uses keyword searches, without retaining email data, to match ads to likely customers. The Google representative explains four different ways, to no avail. This report tunes in the exchange. Also, excerpts from the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee today held a hearing titled, "Threats from Space: A Review of U.S. Government Efforts to Track and Mitigate Asteroids and Meteors." Plus, Rush Limbaugh reviews the new Beyonce single.

Dr Judy Wood discusses her book "Where Did The Towers Go? Evidence of Directed Free Energy Technology on 9-11." We also discuss the viability of directed free energy for practical use and how that would change the world. It starts with the process of managing public perception about free energy technology says Dr. Wood. Electricity, gravity, and magnetism are all related somehow. We talk about the anti-gravity fields that are often around tornados and what clues that can offer. We'll also continue to talk about problem solving skills. As a former professor of mechanical engineering, Dr Wood has extensive knowledge of the educational system and learning processes. She is self taught and practices the method of defining the problem first before solving it. In the context of her amazing arc of research in the book Where Did The Towers Go? Evidence of Free Energy Technology on 9-11, it is important to determine what happened before going to the next step of how it happened. These steps are done before moving to the next one of determining who did it.

Radia Show 417: "Cerebro," by Nathalie Blanc and Amaury Bourget for JET FM (Nantes, FR). "Radia" is a network of international stations interested in new and forgotten ways of making radio. Each week, a different station in the group makes a show for all the others. "Cerebro" is the result of the meeting between Nathalie Blanc, geograph-poet and SemoNO!LinA/Amaury Bourget, musician. During 2008/09, they worked together and composed 3 pieces with the texts written and read by Nathalie Blanc. Acrobatic science fiction, this text tempts to cavort in limbo of a little bit atmospheric reflection, but which try to exhaust the detail of what is expressed here exactly, that is to say the future, our future… These pieces are written to be live played, what the duet will make in particular for the Poetry international biennial event in Val-de-Marne, in 2009. As suggested by JetFM, the project has been “updated” in a version which becomes trilingual (French, Portuguese, English) and accomodated musically. Nathalie Blanc : geograph-poet : http://nathalieblanc.free.fr Amaury Bourget/SemoNO!LinA : musician : http://linfusoire.free.fr/amaury.html Thanks to Anne-Laure Lejosne, Damien Fourcot, Gilles Bruni, Philippe Brioude (photo).
