KUSF and CPRN inked the deal in January, 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s extremely unusual,” Michael Couzens, an Oakland-based communications lawyer and former FCC staffer told the Citizen. “The mentality of the staff is shaped by the fact that commercial entities lose their financing if they dink and dunk around for months and years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sale was part of a \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/01/18/kusf-to-leave-air-move-to-online-online-broadast/\">complicated series of transactions\u003c/a> that shook up the radio dial in the Bay Area last year. The KUSF deal set off vociferous protests by the station's staff and fans. Many of the DJs and programmers moved to the online-only KUSF in Exile (\u003ca href=\"http://savekusf.org/listen-to-kusf-in-exile\">listen here\u003c/a>), an effort to keep the music playing while KUSF's sale of its license awaited FCC approval. In February, 2011, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbayexpress.com/EarBud/archives/2011/02/10/san-francisco-board-of-supervisors-protests-the-sale-of-kusf\">San Francisco Board of Supervisors passed a resolution\u003c/a> urging USF to back out of the deal. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KUSF had been part of the Bay Area radio landscape since 1963 and an important student-run college radio station since 1977, when it began broadcasting on 90.3 FM. The station's free-form, esoteric programming attracted many loyal listeners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The KUSF sale is part of a \u003ca href=\"http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/college-radio-day-an-sos-save-our-stations/2011/10/11/gIQApqLidL_story.html\">trend in which universities have sold off their radio stations\u003c/a>. At the time of the sale, KQED's Nina Thorsen talked to former KUSF Music Director Irwin Swirnoff about why he thought college radio was important. Here's what he said: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I think a college with a licensed radio station has a unique opportunity to link the university into the city in which its participating and engaging with. At KUSF that's exactly what was happening. We had programming in 12 different languages, really unique and forward thinking music programming. This allowed student and faculty to engage with what's happening on campus but make those connections throughout the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What we're ultimately fighting is not so much USF deciding it wants to sell the station, but shutting out the community that ran the station and doing it behind our backs and not allowing the community and students and faculty to come together and raise the money to buy the transmitter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We think the station is an asset that provides the ability to attract new students and to use it as a living laboratory, so that you're no longer just talking about ideas but you're actually putting them into action and producing shows that connect directly with what you're learning in the classroom.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>USF, for its part, has pointed to KUSF's continuing as an \u003ca href=\"http://www.kusf.org/\">online radio station\u003c/a>. And classical music fans have been able to listen to their genre of choice on KDFC 90.3. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca name=\"swirnoff\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 2:23 p.m.\u003c/strong> I talked to Irwin Swirnoff, who was a music director at KUSF before the sale and who's been active in \u003ca href=\"http://savekusf.org/listen-to-kusf-in-exile\">KUSF-in-Exile\u003c/a>, where he continues to host his old Friday show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's very disheartening,\" Swirnoff said about today's announcement. \"I think that the slap on the wrist [the FCC] gave the parties in the deal – fining them $50,000 - was not what should have happened. What the FCC approved is something that's really scary and really bad for the future of true local community radio.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nevertheless, Swirnoff said, the protest to save KUSF was worth it. \"The parties involved really thought this was going to be a slam dunk and we showed them otherwise. I think also in other cities where this might be happening, the parties involved in these kind of deals will have to think twice now because these actions aren't going unnoticed. There's a community that's been formed throughout the country that's banded together to really fight for and protect local college and community radio.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Swirnoff says listenership to the online version of the old KUSF -- which he says still has about 70 percent of the former staff involved -- is much smaller than it was over-the-air. \"People still listen to terrestrial radio in much larger numbers than they do to online radio. Having true community radio on the terrestrial dial in San Francisco is really important and right now, in the way the dials are in the city, there's not a lot of options for true community radio to get back on.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Swirnoff also accused the university of being disingenuous when it said the following in a press release, titled \"KUSF Moves to Online Only Format,\" after the sale: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The move to online-only distribution gives KUSF a powerful opportunity to grow its worldwide audience. Previously, the station was limited to 100 online listeners at a time, but capacity will be increased to accommodate thousands of listeners.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\"They never launched their promised \u003ca href=\"http://www.live365.com/cgi-bin/mini.cgi?station_name=kusf&site=PLR-kusf&tm=398\">online manifestation\u003c/a>,\" Swirnoff said. \"It's essentially an iPod that's on shuffle right now – literally an iPod playing pre-programmed songs. They tore down the studio so there was actually no physical space on campus for there to be a station. I know that has been really frustrating for a lot of faculty and a lot of students at USF.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anne-Marie Devine, Director of Media Relations for USF, responded to that accusation in an email: \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Despite the University's efforts to support KUSF.org, there has been little interest on the part of the student body, and we will continue to assess that in the aftermath of the sale.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

The station's free-form, esoteric programming attracted many loyal listeners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The KUSF sale is part of a \u003ca href=\"http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/college-radio-day-an-sos-save-our-stations/2011/10/11/gIQApqLidL_story.html\">trend in which universities have sold off their radio stations\u003c/a>. At the time of the sale, KQED's Nina Thorsen talked to former KUSF Music Director Irwin Swirnoff about why he thought college radio was important. Here's what he said: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I think a college with a licensed radio station has a unique opportunity to link the university into the city in which its participating and engaging with. At KUSF that's exactly what was happening. We had programming in 12 different languages, really unique and forward thinking music programming. This allowed student and faculty to engage with what's happening on campus but make those connections throughout the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What we're ultimately fighting is not so much USF deciding it wants to sell the station, but shutting out the community that ran the station and doing it behind our backs and not allowing the community and students and faculty to come together and raise the money to buy the transmitter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We think the station is an asset that provides the ability to attract new students and to use it as a living laboratory, so that you're no longer just talking about ideas but you're actually putting them into action and producing shows that connect directly with what you're learning in the classroom.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>USF, for its part, has pointed to KUSF's continuing as an \u003ca href=\"http://www.kusf.org/\">online radio station\u003c/a>. And classical music fans have been able to listen to their genre of choice on KDFC 90.3. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca name=\"swirnoff\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 2:23 p.m.\u003c/strong> I talked to Irwin Swirnoff, who was a music director at KUSF before the sale and who's been active in \u003ca href=\"http://savekusf.org/listen-to-kusf-in-exile\">KUSF-in-Exile\u003c/a>, where he continues to host his old Friday show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's very disheartening,\" Swirnoff said about today's announcement. \"I think that the slap on the wrist [the FCC] gave the parties in the deal – fining them $50,000 - was not what should have happened. What the FCC approved is something that's really scary and really bad for the future of true local community radio.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nevertheless, Swirnoff said, the protest to save KUSF was worth it. \"The parties involved really thought this was going to be a slam dunk and we showed them otherwise. I think also in other cities where this might be happening, the parties involved in these kind of deals will have to think twice now because these actions aren't going unnoticed. There's a community that's been formed throughout the country that's banded together to really fight for and protect local college and community radio.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Swirnoff says listenership to the online version of the old KUSF -- which he says still has about 70 percent of the former staff involved -- is much smaller than it was over-the-air. \"People still listen to terrestrial radio in much larger numbers than they do to online radio. Having true community radio on the terrestrial dial in San Francisco is really important and right now, in the way the dials are in the city, there's not a lot of options for true community radio to get back on.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Swirnoff also accused the university of being disingenuous when it said the following in a press release, titled \"KUSF Moves to Online Only Format,\" after the sale: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The move to online-only distribution gives KUSF a powerful opportunity to grow its worldwide audience. Previously, the station was limited to 100 online listeners at a time, but capacity will be increased to accommodate thousands of listeners.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\"They never launched their promised \u003ca href=\"http://www.live365.com/cgi-bin/mini.cgi?station_name=kusf&site=PLR-kusf&tm=398\">online manifestation\u003c/a>,\" Swirnoff said. \"It's essentially an iPod that's on shuffle right now – literally an iPod playing pre-programmed songs. They tore down the studio so there was actually no physical space on campus for there to be a station. I know that has been really frustrating for a lot of faculty and a lot of students at USF.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anne-Marie Devine, Director of Media Relations for USF, responded to that accusation in an email: \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He taught for many years at UC Davis and had quite a long and very important career.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arneson was commissioned by the San Francisco Arts Commission to create a portrait bust of the late mayor George Moscone for the Moscone Center as it was approaching completion in 1981.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He always made work that had a kind of serious humor about it. The assassination of Moscone and Harvey Milk was obviously one of the most traumatic moments in the history of this city, but I think he was probably surprised by the depth of feeling that still resided considering these twin assassinations. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>STEPHANIE MARTIN\u003c/strong>: What about the sculpture provoked people so much?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>NEAL BENEZRA\u003c/strong>: What stirred all the controversy was the graffiti-like inscriptions that Arneson attached to the pedestal on which the bust sits. So you can walk around it and read the whole history of Moscone's life – it's kind of a cryptic biography, if you will -- where he went to school, when he got married, his family names, his wife's name.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then it gets into the facts of his assassination and the trial of Dan White that followed. It's one thing to know facts, but when you see them imprinted on a work of art in a kind of historical way, it takes on another meaning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And I've come to believe it wasn't so much the pedestal bust and what Arneson inscribed into it that was so troublesome, it was the fact that Dan White seemed to have received such a modest sentence for these terrible crimes. And it kind of scraped open a wound that had only recently begun to heal. It stirred that emotion and that passion that this had not been a trial that had been fair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So to me it's less the art than the memory of the fact that made the piece so powerful and in fact so controversial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The piece was presented in the Moscone Center. The purchase had not yet been approved by the San Francisco Arts commission. My understanding is the commission decided, probably after a conversation with the new mayor Dianne Feinstein, that it was simply not appropriate at the time. I know the mayor felt it was time to heal the wounds that this terrible episode had rubbed raw, and it was felt that this did not help in that regard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the piece was rejected by the arts commission. It went back to the artist and was then on the private art market for a period of time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We were able to acquire it after many attempts to acquire it by me and our senior curator of painting and sculpture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>STEPHANIE MARTIN\u003c/strong>: Why did you want it to be part of your permanent collection so badly?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>NEAL BENEZRA\u003c/strong>: It's very important for a number of reasons. First it's a historical document of this moment in the history of San Francisco. But I don't think that would be enough of a reason for us to acquire it. It's got to be a great work of art as well. And it has the same power, I would argue, 31 years after its making as it did in 1981. It still has an incredible visual presence and great power as a work of art. I think one has to be impressed by the beauty of the bust. It's an incredible likeness of Moscone, with a big smile on his face. The ceramic glazes are handled extraordinarily well, with a beautiful surface, and it's great to look at.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other thing that should be said is we're in the process of expanding, and one of the things we're very committed to doing is creating the definitive collection of California and specifically Bay Area art. And our holdings of Arneson's work are improved immeasurably by this; it will become one of the cornerstones of our collection of California art.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Christopher Moscone, George's son who was 16 at the time of the assassination, told the Chronicle this: \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was a slap in the face to me, my mother, brother and sisters. Completely insensitive and just not appropriate for public art. But with the passage of time, I think this is probably a good place for it now. Artists want to provoke passion and feeling, and he definitely achieved that.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

It stirred that emotion and that passion that this had not been a trial that had been fair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So to me it's less the art than the memory of the fact that made the piece so powerful and in fact so controversial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The piece was presented in the Moscone Center. The purchase had not yet been approved by the San Francisco Arts commission. My understanding is the commission decided, probably after a conversation with the new mayor Dianne Feinstein, that it was simply not appropriate at the time. I know the mayor felt it was time to heal the wounds that this terrible episode had rubbed raw, and it was felt that this did not help in that regard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the piece was rejected by the arts commission. It went back to the artist and was then on the private art market for a period of time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We were able to acquire it after many attempts to acquire it by me and our senior curator of painting and sculpture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>STEPHANIE MARTIN\u003c/strong>: Why did you want it to be part of your permanent collection so badly?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>NEAL BENEZRA\u003c/strong>: It's very important for a number of reasons. First it's a historical document of this moment in the history of San Francisco. But I don't think that would be enough of a reason for us to acquire it. It's got to be a great work of art as well. And it has the same power, I would argue, 31 years after its making as it did in 1981. It still has an incredible visual presence and great power as a work of art. I think one has to be impressed by the beauty of the bust. It's an incredible likeness of Moscone, with a big smile on his face. The ceramic glazes are handled extraordinarily well, with a beautiful surface, and it's great to look at.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other thing that should be said is we're in the process of expanding, and one of the things we're very committed to doing is creating the definitive collection of California and specifically Bay Area art. And our holdings of Arneson's work are improved immeasurably by this; it will become one of the cornerstones of our collection of California art.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Christopher Moscone, George's son who was 16 at the time of the assassination, told the Chronicle this: \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

There’s no doubt Daisey’s theatrical monologue, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/01/24/mike-daisey-monologue-the-agony-and-ecstasy-of-steve-jobs/\">The Agony and Ecstasy of Steve Jobs\u003c/a>, along with media appearances he made criticizing Apple for its relationship with Foxconn, contributed to awareness about a \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/26/business/ieconomy-apples-ipad-and-the-human-costs-for-workers-in-china.html?_r=1\">real issue\u003c/a>. But his piece — which he presented as the literal truth on stage, in media appearances, and on \u003cem>This American Life\u003c/em> — turned out to be a hyperbolic narrative about labor conditions at Foxconn that used significant fictional elements, when in fact the story was \u003ca href=\"http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/460/retraction?act=3\">more nuanced\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After \u003cem>This American Life\u003c/em>, which had aired the piece in its entirety, ran an \u003ca href=\"http://www.thisamericanlife.org/play_full.php?play=460&podcast=1\">excruciatingly uncomfortable segment\u003c/a> confronting Daisey on the fabrications, Daisey struck back in a blog post:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Especially galling is how many are gleefully eager to dance on my grave expressly so they can return to ignoring everything about the circumstances under which their devices are made.

That, he says, is tricky.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“’Some people want to work a lot. They want to move and work for a year or two, and then move back to their village and bring back as much money as they can.’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Apple, he says, now has 95 percent compliance, and is tracking 700,000 workers in China.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“’I don’t know anyone else [that] is doing this,’ Cook says. ‘We’re micromanaging this.’\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>In January, Apple joined the Fabor Labor Association, a watchdog group that aims to protect workers’ rights around the world.

"info": "The MindShift podcast explores the innovations in education that are shaping how kids learn. Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
