EASI's weekly internet webcasts begins a new format for this year.  There
will be guest hosts dealing with special topics.  The first Thursday of the
month will feature the programs of the National Science Foundation Program
for Persons with Disabilities and Dr. Larry Scadden will be the host for
this monthly program.  This first program is an interview with Larry about
the NSF PPD program and about what he will do with the monthly program in
the coming months.  NSF has some exciting and interesting programs.

The interview with Dr. Scadden is now available at http://www.rit.edu/~easi

and it will be archived for months to come.

Each week of the month will feature a different host focusing on a broad
spectrum of interesting and important topics.  This is only the first step
in EASI's plans to expand its uses of multimedia on the internet.  Watch
for more innovative programming.
