This report describes in nontechnical language the various types of 
CDs and DVDs now in use, how they are made, and how they work. It 
then distills current industry knowledge about disc longevity, 
conditions that affect life expectancy, and how to care for optical 
media. The guide is amply illustrated and includes a glossary and 
bibliography.

The guide's author, Fred R. Byers, is a technical staff member in the 
Convergent Information Systems Division of the Information Technology 
Laboratory at NIST.

The guide was written for use by librarians and archivists; however, 
it will be equally useful to any business or individual wishing to 
safeguard CD or DVD collections.

TRANSPORTATION: AIR AIRLINE AIRPLANE AVIATION AND AIRPORT: HISTORY:
Abandoned and Little-Known Airfields


Abandoned and Little-Known Airfields
by Paul Freeman. Revised 12/18/06
<http://www.airfields-freeman.com/index.htm>


"On the following pages, you will find information on vanished or
abandoned airfields & their unusual histories.

As a pilot, a particular interest of mine has always been the abandoned
airfields that dot the landscape of part of this country, as well as other
unusual and little-known airfields.

Both for their potential safety value to a pilot in an emergency, and also
for their sometimes fascinating history, this particular topic has always
held my curiosity.

When I'm a passenger on commercial flights, I've always found myself
looking out the window, constantly looking for airfields below.

When I fly as a pilot myself, I've always tried to land at as many
airports as possible, to learn a little about each one."


So far, I've compiled descriptions & images of 1,370 airfields in all 50
states.

<http://www.airfields-freeman.com/CO/Airfields_CO_Denver_NE.htm>

Stapleton International Airport (DEN), Denver, CO
39.77 North / 104.87 West

This field, originally known as Denver Municipal Airport, was opened in
1929.

It was called the "Union Station of the Air", and heralded as the most
modern facility in the country.

The airport was an immediate financial success.

In 1931, Amelia Erhart stopped at Denver Municipal Airport on one of her
cross-country escapades.





The 1934 Department of Commerce Airport Directory (according to Chris
Kennedy)

described Denver Airport as having four sandy loam runways, with the
longest being a 5,000' northeast/southwest strip.

A hangar was said to have "Denver Municipal Airport" painted on the roof.

Boyd Finch recalled, As a boy age 10-13 (1935-38), I lived in the 2200
block of Krameria Street in Denver.

>From the north end of our block there was open prairie all the way to the
Denver Municipal Airport (Stapleton), and I would ride my bike on diagonal
paths to 32nd (now Martin Luther King) and on to a low bluff on the west
of the airport.

I remember the terminal building & the two hangars.

How to do Community Radio: A Primer for Community Radio Operators

Developed by: Louie Tabing, for UNESCO
Type of resource: Primer
Target audience: General
Cost: Free access

This UNESCO-supported primer builds on the experience of Tambuli, 
which in the past ten years has grown from one community radio to a 
network of 25 stations. Often located in remote rural areas, these 
stations are "operated in the community, for the community, about the 
community and by the community". The handbook features basic 
community radio concepts, including equipment, finances and 
programming. It also brings in aspects of community radio ethics, 
councils, and codes of conduct. The document is online as a PDF file 
(327 Kb; 70 pages)

9. Writing for Radio
    Posted by: "George Lessard" [EMAIL PROTECTED] themediamentor
    Date: Thu Dec 21, 2006 7:17 am ((PST))

Writing for Radio

Developed by: Mike Meckler
Type of resource: Web site
Target audience: General
Cost: Free access

This site is intended to help radio journalists improve their skills 
as writers and anchors. Topics covered range from writing copy to 
improving on-air delivery, and the site include a glossary and links 
to external resources. Although not directly aimed at community 
radio, http://www.newscript.com should be of value to practitioners 
in the area.

The Newswriting for Radio website is an online tutorial on the craft 
of radio journalism, with particular attention to the writing of news 
scripts. Since 1996, newscript.com has been providing creative 
suggestions and ideas to radio news reporters, writers and anchors, 
as well as to broadcast journalism students around the world.

Improving your newscasts
The purpose of this website is to help radio journalists improve 
their skills as writers and anchors. Journalism education has greatly 
declined over the past two decades as colleges and universities have 
either closed journalism programs or transformed them into 
"Communications Departments." Radio journalism has been especially 
hard hit, with diminished teaching resources given over to television 
instruction because TV is the more attractive broadcast medium.

Consequently, many journalists starting out in radio lack basic 
knowledge on how to communicate effectively though the medium. In the 
past, much of that knowledge was learned on the job, but 
consolidations, cutbacks and downsizing in radio have reduced news 
staffs to the point where news directors can afford little time to 
training those new in the profession.

In this sink-or-swim environment, far too many radio journalists have 
figured out only how to float. They haven't been introduced to the 
wide range of possibilities in preparing radio news and are often 
frustrated either by not being able to move up to a larger market or 
by not having the satisfaction of becoming respected journalists 
within their communities.

10. Participative Marketing for Local Radio
    Posted by: "George Lessard" [EMAIL PROTECTED] themediamentor
    Date: Thu Dec 21, 2006 7:21 am ((PST))

Participative Marketing for Local Radio

Developed by: AudienceDialogue.org
Type of resource: website
Target audience: General
Cost: Free access

Participative marketing is a new term for what is probably a very old 
concept: that marketing is not just something that big corporations 
do to consumers, but something that everybody does when engaged in 
any kind of purposeful activity. What's new about the idea of 
participative marketing is that it deliberately weaves a strong web 
of relationships to bring people together for a common purpose. If it 
works properly, there's no exploitation, but a filling of mutual 
needs. Read most of the chapters of Dennis List's new book, 
Participative Marketing for Local Radio on Audience Dialogue website.
