| Â | Anti-Flag: Underground Network: Pitchfork Review |
 | | Since their inception, their social agenda has been in the league of the Dead Kennedys or Consolidated, two of the most blatantly political bands in punk and underground music history. | | | However, in 2001, Underground Network finds them farther away than ever from their earlier raw hardcore sound, when they were more akin to groups like MDC or the Exploited. | | | Anti-Flag are such true revivalists that, despite an impressively large and growing body of original work, their music is so similar to the forebears of the genre that they sound like an homage-bearing cover band. |

| | And we've come to think that “EBN” may be a great collective platform for promoting and producing a certain kind of (danceable) visual music and social commentary-- especially if it were more like a television network and less like a band. | | | Determined to contribute to the post-9/11 need for emergency entertainment, EBN is re-deploying a newly enhanced network of special agents, field operatives, and embedded media correspondents-- purportedly working in voluntary cooperation with the FBI, CIA, and Homeland Security. | | | GD: We continue to transform EBN into a network, a platform for the entire community of visual musicians to advance their work and attract and entertain an ever growing audience. |

| | By the late 20s, Ellington would have his own network show on CBS. | | | And the first black-oriented programming service, the National Negro Network, began in January of 1954. | | | But long before these milestones, African Americans had been involved with radio; though social conditions and the grim reality of segregation limited their participation, they were still a part of the industry. |

| Â | G. David Garson: Neural Networks: An Introductory Guide for Social Scientists |
| | Social scientists may have two different goals in dealing with neural network modelling: neural networks may be used as statistical tools for data analysis, or alternatively they may be used as models of cognitive and decision-making processes. | | | A limitation I see in Garson's book is that not only does he provide very little motivation to social scientists to do network models of cognition and decision-making, but he also appears not to recognise the differences between the two possible goals of neural network modelling. | | | The final two sections are on limitations hampering the spread of neural network modelling in the social sciences, and on uses of neural network analysis in economics, management, sociology and psychology. |
