Barriers to publication = barriers to getting hired. - (USA)
I commented on this post over at Drugmonkey regarding the Research Plan part of job applications. I can understand why, in a job application, you should have publications to demonstrate your experience, contributions, etc. However, the most interesting part of this post to me was the mention that if your future research plans are not already supported by PUBLICATIONS, no one will look at you seriously. I find this kind of bizarre for two major reasons, so I figured hey, that's why I have a bl

"Intro To Multimedia Storytelling" Class - (USA)
Three participants in my Intro To Multimedia Storytelling class at the Foundry Photojournalism Workshop (FPW) produced stunning slideshow photo essays, and I thought it would be interesting to write about their contrasting photographic and personal styles. I taught my class' participants to concentrate on the story, rather than on the application, and how to make quick work of slideshow production (SoundSlides), using their own images and audio generated in the field, and to produce a cogent

Institution – another part of place - (USA)
For longer than I care to remember, I’ve been working on the Place component of the Ps Framework for chapter 2 of my thesis . This post brings the penultimate section for the Ps component – institution. The last section will be the “lessons from place” section that attempts to draw some lessons from the Place component for the practice of e-learning. Who knows when that will arrive. As with previous parts of the thesis, this is a first draft with only a modicum of re-reading. There are l

Mural on former U.S. embassy -- a people under the U.S. gunThe following essay first appeared on Counterpunch.org The original title is “An Existential Question for the Power Elite? The Bomb Iran Faction.”By GARY LEUPPThere is clearly a faction of the power elite that is, and has for some years been pressing, for a U.S. military attack on Iran. It is not advocating a war, at least openly, or an occupation of that vast nation; rather, it is advocating an operation similar in concept to the Israel

New Yorker Mag Sued For 10 Million - (USA)
Forbes : In an April 21, 2008, New Yorker story, “Vengeance Is Ours,” Pulitzer Prize-winning geography scholar Jared Diamond describes blood feuds that rage for decades among tribes in the Highlands of New Guinea. Diamond tells the story using a central protagonist: Daniel Wemp, member of the Handa clan, a blood-thirsty warrior bent on avenging his uncle’s death. That quest, writes Diamond, touched off six years of warfare leading to the slaughter of 47 people and the theft of 300 pigs. N

At Age 13, SAT-M Can Predict Science Success - (USA)
What if there were a simple measure that you could use to help gauge the probability of a person achieving future success in the sciences? What if that measure already existed and was widely administered, just not at the right age to do much good? Researchers Park et al., writing in the October issue of Psychological Science, suggest that the measure is the SAT-M, the math portion of the SAT (the test most high school students take for college admissions). And, if given at age 13 (usually lo

Energy Dumb Dana Shows His Face - (USA)
Energy Dumb Dana Rohrbacher showed his face on the House floor with a studied effort at willful ignorance a year ago several weeks before Senate Republicans stooped to the lowest forms of obstructionism to avoid having to have a substantive and meaningful debate about Global Warming legislation. Rohrbacher’s speech is worth a few minutes of notice since it is such a studied effort, with strong framing language, of misleading deceptiveness and outright deceit on what might be the most critical

The Ninth Step: Review of George Paul’s New Book “Foundations of Digital Evidence” - (USA)
Everyone in e-discovery is familiar with the EDRM nine-step model of e-discovery. It may surprise you to know that the first and last steps of this model, Information Management and Presentation, are not part of the discovery process at all. Instead, they are key activities related to e-discovery. The ones that precede and follow the seven steps of actual e-discovery work (shown below). The last step, the Ninth Step, is governed by the rules of evidence, not procedure. That is where George Paul’

Reading the Forty Signs of Rain Trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson - (USA)
I finished reading Kim Stanley Robinson's Forty Signs of Rain triology last week, and so I had the odd experience when reading George Monbiot's One Shot Left: The latest science suggests that preventing runaway climate change means total decarbonisation in Tuesday's Guardian of feeling the lines blur between one kind of reading experience and another, between reading fiction and reading nonfiction. This has rarely happened to me before, and so it prompted me to think about why it happened. For t

Lament in Oslo - (USA)
Speech By ELENA BONNER - Jewish wife of the late Andrei Sakharov - before a conference in Oslo . In his invitation to this conference, the president of the forum, Thor Halvorssen, asked me to talk about my life, the suffering I have endured and how I was able to bear it all. But today all that seems to me quite unnecessary. So I will say only a few words about myself. At the age of 14, I was left without my parents. My father was executed, my mother spent 18 years in prison and exi
