Sir Ken Robinson talks about education killing creativity in next generation youth. How schools need to adapt to fit the future.  He touches on issues of art and culture, and how learning disabilities can be embraced instead of hindered.

Thursday, police Cheif Murray Faulkner confirmed that incidents caught on video, showcasing local officers engaged in violent behaviour, would be investigated.

Joe Belanger, from the LFP, reports (Sept. 12/08) that one video taken Tuesday shows "an officer kicking a suspect on the ground during an arrest." Days earlier, a "TV crew riding with London Police on a patrol of a rowdyism-plagued student housing district near Fanshawe College recorded an arrest where an officer put a knee on a suspect's head."

Faulkner goes on to state that these incidents are not indicative of any systemic issues of the London Police Force. He promised accountability, and apparently urged anyone with videos of alleged exessive force to contact police.  read more »

I thought you Video Collective folks might be interested in this:

While I was stopped in Guelph today, I found out about a not-for-profit artist-run centre called Ed Video. It aims to support media artists and independent productions in Southwest Ontario. They maintain an extensive equipment pool with video cameras, lighting equipment, audio eqiupment, editing software, etc. and editing suits. They also provide workshops on all sorts of subjects such as production, post-production, shooting, equipment orientations, writing, editing and more. and finally, they also offer funding assistance.
