Proof of the pudding: health campaigns don't work - ABC News

Sat, 10 May 2008 14:00:46 PDT
Public health experts routinely advise governments that the best way to address the long-term challenges facing the health system is to 'invest' more taxpayers' money in public health education and promotion policies.

Braking News: Alan Keyes Interviewed by ABC

Sat, 10 May 2008 14:14:24 PDT
Alan Keyes was recently interviewed by ABC News regarding the McCain debates in 2000. The interview was days ago, but in keeping with the major media's ignoring of the 2008 candidacy of Alan Keyes, there was no mention of him in the recent article by Teddy Davis about McCain's flip-flop on the abortion platform.

Better Mobile Data Needed To Secure More Mobile Ad Dollars

Sat, 10 May 2008 14:14:37 PDT
Marketing via cellphones is forecast to be one of the next hot trends, but many advertisers are still hesitant to empty their pockets on mobile-ad campaigns. One reason: There isn't yet a reliable source of data that show what Web sites and features consumers are accessing on their mobile devices. Measurement firms such as Nielsen and M:Metrics, which have relied mainly on monthly consumer surveys to gather such information, are developing electronic tracking methods that aim to provide more sp

Search Engine and Spark: A Tale of Two CBC Technology Shows

Sat, 10 May 2008 14:31:33 PDT
Last September, CBC Radio launched two new technology shows: Search Engine and Spark. I forget how I first heard about them, but I subscribed to both podcasts from their first episode. Search Engine is a show about the cultural and politics of the web (they need a copyable blurb on their home page and in iTunes). The most recent episode featured stories on the hacker convention Defcon, gaming the CIA’s website and a rapping Hungarian YouTube star. Here’s the spiel on Spark: Spark is a weekly

I welcome your feedback. In order to clarify our current mind-set, I've included a brief description of our existing source code modules, data library modules, and

The Price of the Surge: Iraq... by Steven Simon from Foreign Affairs

Sat, 10 May 2008 14:40:49 PDT
The Price of the Surge By Steven Simon From Foreign Affairs , May/June 2008 Summary: The Bush administration's new strategy in Iraq has helped reduce violence. But the surge is not linked to any sustainable plan for building a viable Iraqi state and may even have made such an outcome less likely -- by stoking the revanchist fantasies of Sunni tribes and pitting them against the central government. The recent short-term gains have thus come at the expense of the long-term goal of a stable, unitar

Intranets are not information dumps

Sat, 10 May 2008 15:18:25 PDT
The first step in creating a genuinely useful intranet is to ban the intranet team from using the word “information”. “‘Distribute information’ is by far the primary perceived role of the intranet, increasing by 7 points from 2006 up to nearly 60 percent saying “absolutely” in 2007. However, “facilitate collaboration” stagnated at 20 percent and “facilitate productivity” only increased 3 points to 22 percent in 2007.” The above is a quote from the second annual Global Intranet & Portal Strate

Pentecost news - I hope not!

But, in the light of current discussions, here is my answer to the bonus question What would a modern day news coverage of the first Pentecost have sounded like? There will be more Baal worshippers than Christians in Jerusalem by the year 50! According to a new publication Religious Trends, the number of Christians shows a decline from

China, India, and the Food Crisis

Sat, 10 May 2008 15:57:21 PDT
Today’s Chicago Tribune has an article that paints a worrying picture of food consumption trends. Although grain prices are already up sharply, the article suggests the other shoe will drop once China and India start becoming net importers of grain. Or, put another way, when the world grows more affluent but grain stocks don’t increase, trouble is on the way. Link.

The Future We Almost Know

Sat, 10 May 2008 16:00:56 PDT
Flying Car When I was young the future was very different from the way it is today. It was spaceships, and jet packs and flying cars. And when I was a bit older it was cybertech and biotech, humanity reinventing itself and making itself stronger, smart, faster and perhaps immortal. The future we received was an odd one. The sheer ubiquity of communication is something not predicted by most of the futurists and sci-fi authors of the pre-eighties world. My generation, Gen-X, as a friend of mi

What the Cumulative NYSE TICK is Telling Us About Market Psychology

Sat, 10 May 2008 16:08:22 PDT
Recall that the NYSE TICK is a measure of very short term sentiment across the broad universe of NYSE issues. When a stock trades at its offer price, that contributes +1 to the NYSE TICK. When a stock trades at its bid price, -1 is added to the TICK. These readings are summed for all NYSE stocks every five seconds. As a result, a TICK reading of +500 means that, at that moment, 500 more stocks are trading at their offer price than at their bid. This means that traders are sufficiently bullish o

Did you think I fell off the face of the blogosphere? Well, almost. I thought I'd post a few quick things while I had a chance. Life has been incredibly busy and it will probably only get busier if current trends continue. I'll try to post more updates later. Not a whole lot has changed in the grand scheme of things. Just general busyness and preoccupiedness (Yes, that is a word per the very authoritative "Lydia's English Dictionary"). :) So where to begin... Frugality I have been trying to

I've been trying out some different ways of syncing my bookmarks between my home and work computers, which is how I ended up taking a second look at Google Bookmarks today. The page also displayed my Web History, which I had set as limited to my Google search history. Part of what this does is analyze your search trends, including your hourly, daily, and monthly search averages and the most common searches you've performed.

It’s Not What’s For Dinner

Sat, 10 May 2008 18:54:15 PDT
The slow death of British culture in the name of multiculturalism continues. For decades the national dish has been a staple meal on the national carrier. But now British Airways has taken beef off the menu for economy passengers amid concerns about its “religious restrictions”. The airline has instead switched to a fish pie or chicken dish option for the so-called “cattle class” passengers. BA’s second-biggest long-haul market is to India, where the majority Hindu population do not ea
