View next topic Author Message Mark Posted: June 13, 2003 03:56 PM As I mentioned in a recent post , I have always thought that so-called online community sites were never really successful in creating a community atmosphere. While reading some great stuff recently by Clay Shirky , I came across an article about Communities, Audiences, and Scale that provides a good explanation about my prior observations about community sites. Essentially, the bigger a group gets, it becomes harder to act and feel like a community because it becomes impossible for members to know each other: " This barrier to the growth of a single community is caused by the collision of social limits with the math of large groups: As group size grows, the number of connections required between people in the group exceeds human capacity to make or keep track of them all. " This is an important point for software makers and web developers - this is a human limitation, you can't code around it. It raises interesting questions. Should community sites limit membership or become more like audiences? And is there something in between a community and an audience model? And if there is, what is it and how do its members interact? I have been thinking a lot about groups, reputations systems, emergent democratic systems, and distributed collaborative efforts lately and this issue of group size and it's affects on group interaction is a significant one. I am going to continue to ponder these and other questions further.

Could Lead to Historic Firsts in City, State Reporting by the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism Kamala Harris' Upstart Campaign for DA Could Lead to Historic Firsts in City, State By Traci Curry , November 7, 2003 05:20 PM SAN FRANCISCO If Kamala Harris wins next month's runoff election for San Francisco District Attorney, it would mark a new chapter in the racial history not only of the city but the entire state. Harris, 38, who is of mixed Jamaican and Indian descent, could simultaneously lay claim as San Francisco's first female district attorney, the first official of Asian descent to hold the office, and the first African-American top county prosecutor in the state. The significance of that potential moment, however, is subject to debate among lawyers and other professionals who are following the race closely. "I think it's historic. Given that San Francisco is so diverse, why did it take until 2004 that we have the possibility of having an attorney of color in the position?" asks Gillian G.M. Small, President of the California Association of Black Lawyers. Harris, the daughter of a mother from India and a father of Jamaican heritage, had been a relative unknown at the outset of the campaign. She ran on a platform critical of incumbent Terrence Hallinan's low conviction rate, and promised an aggressive prosecution of violent crimes, especially sexual exploitation and domestic violence against women and children.

COURSE SUMMARY As a result of a complete re-engineering of the Academy and studying the instructor and course evaluations from the past two years we have implemented the largest restructuring of course material in the last ten years. The course is now organized in four major blocks of instruction: Seminole Neighborhood Policing/Special Operations, Corrections, Criminal Investigations, and Youth Services. The course begins with an introduction by the Sheriff and Chief Deputy Sheriff and is followed by presentations on patrol operations and use of force, which includes operation of less than lethal weapons. This lays the groundwork for the scenario which begins the following week. During the scenario, students witness an aggravated felony, the fleeing and eluding of an armed suspect, a felony stop and takedown of the suspect.s accomplices, and the fleeing of the main suspect.

POLITICS OF HATE: BACKGROUND REPORT JUNE 10, 1996 TRANSCRIPT Arsonists in the South have destroyed up to 32 African America churches over 18 months, causing the federal government and the church community to call for rigorous action against racial violence. Elizabeth Farnsworth presents a background report, followed by a discussion with Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, Deval Patrick, and Kansas City minister, Rev. Mac Charles Jones. Past NewsHour transcripts on race relations can be found by clicking here. ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: Four black churches have burned in the past week, and Washington is hearing about it. Praise and warm support greeted the African-American pastors who came to the Pleasant Lane Baptist Church in Southeast Washington last night. They were part of a National Council of Churches delegation here over the weekend. This was a service of healing for ministers whose churches had burned in the recent epidemic of arson fires in the South. During the service, parishioners showed the congregation what was left of the burned buildings. Rev. D. Donaldson of the Salem Baptist Church in Tennessee recalled how he felt when he received the call that his church was on fire. REV. D. DONALDSON, Fruitland, TN: It is a hurting feeling that reaches deep down within your soul. We've been through crises before. This is nothing new. We were hoping that it wouldn't happen but since it has, we've already been this way before. We know how to rejoice in times of sorrow, and I go to my seat thanking God for the ability to understand that they too must be forgiven.

POLICING IMMIGRATION August 14, 2002 Lee Hochberg of Oregon Public Broadcasting looks at how local police are fighting the war on terrorism. SPOKESMAN: Hello. Hi, I'm john. Nice to meet you. Thank you. LEE HOCHBERG: Since September 11, Seattle's police force has reached out to the city's 50,000 Muslims. It hoped a police presence might protect Muslims from hate crimes while furnishing intelligence about criminal activity. So appreciative was one Muslim congregation that it held a ceremony to thank the police. But now the police say a new federal tactic in the war on terrorism threatens all the good they've accomplished. The tactic was laid out by Attorney General John Ashcroft at a press conference this summer. JOHN ASHCROFT: Today I am announcing the national security entry-exit registration system. This system will expand substantially America's scrutiny of those foreign visitors who may pose a national security concern and enter our country. LEE HOCHBERG: The attorney general wants to use local police as part of his expanded program to track aliens. He said more aliens will be photographed and fingerprinted upon entry to the U.S. and the names of those who overstay their visas will be put into the national crime information system. And he wants any police who encounter those aliens to arrest them.
