Long Strange Talk - (USA)
Dennis McNally at UMass Here's more from the Geocities archives. It was an enlightening evening in Memorial Hall at UMass when noted historian, author and publicist Dennis McNally gave a speech about making history more accessible to the general public. McNally is best known as the long time publicist for the Grateful Dead, and while there was no shortage of Dead t-shirts in the audience, those who came primarily to hear anecdotes about Jerry Garcia may have been disappointed. But they

Dear whomever - (USA)
The purge edition. Dear self, Why exactly do you still have so many textbooks? Do you really believe they are good for anything? If the bookstore wouldn’t buy them back, they probably didn’t have any value at all and you shouldn’t have been dragging them around for years. I realize this is too late but maybe you could apply this same thinking to other items besides textbooks. Thank you. Dear craigslist, I regret to inform all of you crazy people, including the one woman who e-mails

Five More Fake Academic Medical Journals Confirmed - (USA)
Earlier this month I noted that news had come out that Merck had--with the help of major academic medical journal publisher Elsevier--had created a fake medical journal earlier this decade, which then presented studies that were basically gigantic advertorials for Merck's products. Now there's news that the same academic publisher has admitted to creating five other fake journals earlier this decade. The journals in question are: the Australasian Journal of General Practice , the Austra

Belli Skin Care Review and Giveaway! - (USA)
Pregnancy and motherhood is a wondrous time in life, but it can also be overwhelming. My body went through extraordinary changes as the baby developed, and I found myself moody, exhausted, and facing unpleasant skin changes. The increase in my hormones during pregnancy caused various skin issues, including acne, darkening, itching, and stretch marks. The dilemma I faced was how to safely treat the unwelcome skin changes without harming my growing fetus and myself. I wanted to pamper my s

The Day That I Killed Superman - (USA)
I’ve always hated Penn Station in New York City, but one of the few silver linings was a nameless magazine shop located on the LIRR level on the west side of the station. I’ve know this shop since the 80s so it’s fair to say that it is at least 25 years old, although I suspect that it’s much older than that. What made it unique was that it was the largest magazine shop in all of Penn Station. This made it a welcome oasis in the desert wasteland of commuting on the Long Island Rail Road. The s

Twilight Earth is Changing, and I’d Like Your Thoughts - (USA)
Life is about CHANGE, and Twilight Earth is changing to better serve your needs and interests. When I started this website, I wasn’t really sure I knew what I was doing, (and I still don’t) but one of things that I have learned is that a successful website is one that dedicated to point specific subject matter. Subject matter is one of the things that I have struggled with here at Twilight Earth, as the “Environment” is such a big subject, and encompasses almost every facet of human life and i

ten qustions for chris anderson, editor-in-chief for wired magazine - (USA)
Ten Questions For Chris Anderson Chris Anderson is the Editor-in-Chief of Wired Magazine , the great tech & culture publication from Conde Nast. He first came to my attention when he published the book, The Long Tail , which talks about Power Laws and the Internet, especially marketing and the possibilities that the Web opens up for everybody. His latest book, "Free", talks about the new economies of the Internet, where the default price of everything, as he reminds us, is "set at zer

Dyslexia Software for Fast Dyslexia Assessment - (USA)
It is expected that there are well over a million undiagnosed adult dyslexics in the U.S. About 10% of the general population has some type of dyslexia. Today, school-age children are routinely screened for dyslexia. But this is a relatively new development, only being widespread for the last 15 years. Those of us that graduated high school more than 15 years ago were never tested. Some 90+ per cent of adults with dyslexia have no idea that it is dyslexia that has been causing them problems.

New media and how to use it - (USA)
Received wisdom is a terrible thing. In the aftermath of 1997, the collapse of the Conservative Party became a truism. Last year, it was the “clunking fist” of Gordon Brown. Today it’s “the death of New Labour”. None of these things are particularly true and none of them have enduring relevance to political analysis, not that this will stop journalists endlessly repeating some of them. In the US, the success of Obama’s grassroots campaign and his use of “new media” - bloggers, small donations,

47 People Who Work At Twitter (And What They Do) - (USA)
The shenanigans of the past couple of days on Twitter have provided us with a couple of key pieces of information: one, that Twitter really needs to work on its PR, and two, that the leadership provided by Jack Dorsey (@Jack), Evan Williams (@Ev), Biz Stone (@Biz) and others, certainly in the manner of what they blog and tweet , is perhaps not as good as it might be. Here’s the thing: while these guys are holding the reins, they aren’t the only employees Twitter has. Moreover, while we’re

Tip of the Week: Subscribing to journal updates with HubMed - (USA)
As one of the tools (along with Connotea, Faculty1000, MyNCBI, HubMed, etc) to keep abreast of the fire hose of literature that is published, I also use RSS feeds to keep up-to-date on the latest publications from journals of interest. There are a lot of journals out there that publish a lot of data interesting to me, but subscribing to them all IRL of course is cost prohibitive (and environmentally unfriendly). Many will send updates by email of new issues, but the last thing I need is another

10 Blogs That Could Be Movies - (USA)
This weekend’s opening of Julie & Julia came and went without a ton of fanfare – at least not the kind of fanfare that came with G.I. Joe . But Julie & Julia represents a watershed moment in cinematic history. It’s the first blog to be adapted into a feature film. Since FSR actually started as a blog (and evolved into what is clearly an online equestrian health magazine), we have a soft spot in our hearts for them right next to the soft spot we have for movie theater butte

A Piracy SitRep - (USA)
Articles by two experts confirms most of the analysis of piracy presented on this site. They are typically well-reasoned and supported article from Proceedings, IMO one of the best of the American military journals. I recommend reading it in full. For a contrary view (there are always at least 2 perspectives on such things, at the edge of the known), Galrahn provides a critique of Patch’s article. Last, Feffer explains why the “terrorist ally with pirates” theory is bunk.“The Overstated Thre
