Weekend reading about the financial crisis - (USA)
The new continues to flow in. At least we’re spared more of the “Dude, where’s my recession” idiocy. Unfortunately, the damage this recession will do will echo for years to come. “Doomed From the Start“, Boris Kagarlitsky, Moscow Times, 20 November 2008 — We can say three things with certainty regarding reforms to international financial structures: They are necessary, inevitable and doomed to fail. “Biotech funding down to last drops“, Chicago Tribune, 23 November 2008 — “Investments for medi

Curated databases and data curation - (USA)
I've been working on an article with a colleague, and came across something that's interesting, and that you might be able to help us with. There does appear to be a distinction between the way curation is used in the bio-sciences, and elsewhere. In particular, the term "curated database" tends to mean a manually constructed database that links literature to data, curated by experts who provide authority (eg see the Wikipedia definition of Biocurator ). The earliest mention of the term "curated

The Curious Case of Matt Harrington - (USA)
A brilliant reader mentioned, in reference to agents and the A-Rod case, the tale of Matt Harrington. This immediately made me go back into the archives … and find this story I wrote in The Kansas City Star about Harrington back in 2006. Consider a baseball fable. Once upon a time, there lived a boy named Matt Harrington, who could throw a baseball 95 mph. Some baseball talent scouts pointed their radar guns at him and calculated that he threw 96 or 97 mph, and a couple registered his fa

Infographics Can Help You Spread Ideas and Attract Attention - (USA)
An image is an act of communication. Images play an important role in the presentation of ideas. Worth more than a thousand words, they encapsulate meaning by both simplifying and embodying conceptual theories.They make information more appealing, more persuasive. In the realm of art or activism, images reflect the underlying current of collective feeling by vocalizing both public consensus and private desires. On the internet, you can see the same popular pictures in websites of every languag

San Francisco Favorites - (USA)
Many of you have written to me in the past requesting a list of my favorite "everyday" places to eat, drink, and shop in San Francisco. So, I'm taking a stab at it. This is by no means a comprehensive list of all the great places in this city - it's more of a brainstorm of places I find myself often. Many I can walk to from where I live, others take more effort - a hop on a train, or a trip across town via car. It's clear I know some neighborhoods better than others, so feel free to add to my li

No, my reference to Nazi snitches was not over the top, Europe - (USA)
The DNC has enlisted Europeans (yes, Europeans) to attack me personally for describing Obama’s Turn In Your Dissenting Neighbor policy. I have offended the people from the lands WE ESCAPED to come to this country and find freedom. The international turmoil results from my having described the White House’s flag@whitehouse.gov policy as fascist. Well, it is. We learn today, via Byron York, that the White House plans to build a database of opponents to Obama’s dictatorial plans . (Runnin

Website Authority: Editing Content for SEO Value - (USA)
Since the topic of reviving old content was brought up earlier today (from linking to a post from the past), I thought it was only fitting to dig into the SEO archives again to harvest yet another opportunity to drive home a point. Can Editing Your Pages Produce Organic Rankings? A website is a work in progress and your own pages represent on of the most underutilized assets in acquiring and defending a stable position across hundreds or thousands of keywords organically.

Saturday Archives: Saturn in Synastry - Natal Chart - (USA)
The more I work with people on their synastry with another, the more I realize it all comes back to the natal chart and learning what Saturn has to teach us about loving and accepting ourselves as we are BEFORE we embark on a relationship with another human being. Saturn has gotten a lot of bad press over the years yet he has been my saving grace more often than not when Neptune, Uranus or Pluto embroiled me in their fun and games. As an astrologer, I look to Saturn in the natal chart to show

Quarterbacks and fourth quarter comebacks, Part II - (USA)
A continuation of Scott Kacsmar’s guest post from yesterday ( here is the link to Part I )…. Last time we looked at 4th quarter comebacks for Dan Marino (the “new king of the 4th quarter comeback”) and John Elway. Now we’re going to look at creating a clear-cut definition of what a 4th quarter comeback is, what a game-winning drive is, and how other QBs have been tracked, and developing a standard for all teams to follow. The ideal 4th quarter comeback analysis would be to: 1. Identify

Rakabdar - (USA)
One of the side effects of the vacation was the discovery of a restaurant in (almost) our backyard. We saw a write up of Rakabdar in the Jet in-flight magazine, and as always checked it up on Burrp before deciding on it. Rakabdar is located exactly opposite Forum Mall on the Christ College/Dairy Circle side. That, I assume, also takes care of your parking queries. A ‘Rakabdar’ is a master chef of the royal courts of Awadh and Lucknow, so now you know what cuisine to expect here. They were co
