NY SUN on Drupal

Wed, 23 Apr 2008 14:21:46 PDT
The (dead tree) newspaper sector is not particularly known for being innovative or getting up to speed. In fact, it seems that they only look at each other; what system is newspaper Y using, we have to get that as well! As if online the newspapers are competing with each other. They are, but more important, they are competing against every single website in the world. People only have x hours per day to get the latest news or backgrounds per day, and every minute spend on a blog or on a wiki,

Early Atypical Body Piercing References

Wed, 23 Apr 2008 14:22:06 PDT
A la the entry below, I came across a couple references to early “non-traditional” body piercing that I’d like to repost here. This first one, about a Madison piercing, is from Rack Rope And Red-Hot Pinchers: A History of Torture and It’s Instruments by Geoffrey Abbott (Headline Book Publishing, 1993). It reads, Chain through the Neck In the more exotic parts of the world, more exotic punishments were administered. In China, monks who broke their sacred vows were punished by having a hole bur

The Wall Street Journal: That ‘Insulting’ Pope

Wed, 23 Apr 2008 14:22:11 PDT
Our point, evidently missed by the Congressman, was that the U.S. Catholic Church has traditionally been an immigrant church, helping to settle and assimilate generations of Irish, Polish and Italian newcomers. The pope made a similar argument during his visit last week in separate remarks to U.S. educators. "Countless dedicated religious sisters, brothers and priests together with selfless parents have, through Catholic schools, helped generations of immigrants to rise from poverty and take the

Whatley: ‘Bored bored bored bored’

Wed, 23 Apr 2008 14:23:45 PDT
Mr Uber Mobile, James Whatley, is uninspired by the mobile industry this week. I get this now and again. It happens — it’s strange, but there you go. You’d think that the launch of two new Nokias would have got him moving? Not really. How about the brand new Nokia N95 8GB he’s brandishing? Not really. Things are so back to front that, traditionally a loyal Jaiku user, Whatley has even been playing round more on Twitter. Over to him: - - - I’ve been scratching my head for some time about w

Ballooning Priest Lost at Sea

Wed, 23 Apr 2008 14:24:43 PDT
A Brazilian priest is lost at sea after strapping himself to 1000 helium party balloons and setting off over the ocean to break the 19-hour party-favor flight record, according to the Times. Had the whole unfortunate affair not ended quite so tragically, we would likely have a hearty chuckle over his ambitious endeavor. This flight—a culmination of jungle and wilderness survival courses—was to raise money for a spiritual truck stop. No joke. The massive pile of brightly-colored inflatables

Harvard Business School Looks Ahead to the Class of 2011

Wed, 23 Apr 2008 14:24:46 PDT
In one of her periodic blog posts regarding the HBS admission process, Managing Director of Admissions and Financial Aid Deirdre Leopold revealed that her office is already giving plenty of thought to prospective applicants for the class of 2011. “We hope to have our new essay questions posted by mid-May and we’ll certainly alert you through the blog about the actual date,” she writes. The department is also planning an outreach event in New York City in May to kick off the new season. The dat

VW will not produce a road-going Golf TDI Hybrid In today's world of high fuel prices and ever tightening emissions and fuel economy standards, two technology have really moved to the forefront of the automotive industry — hybrids and diesels. Both have their advantages but many have been left wondering why no automaker has ever thought to combine the two. While it looked like Volkswagen might be the first to venture into the segment, it was revealed today that the company's Golf TDI Hy

Raising a T2 Voice Against Complacency

Wed, 23 Apr 2008 10:46:19 PDT
Recent headlines regarding home blood glucose monitoring for Type 2 diabetics (aggregated at the UK's National Health service site, ) are causing a lot of concerns among the OC. To some degree, the T2 OC is the "choir" of aggressive self-management -- we are more likely than the "Average Joe With Sugar" to test regularly, to pay attention to diet and exercise, and to keep up with our medical care. To that degree, I admit to "preaching to the choir". Or maybe just ranting... As with any controver

In case you had an impression that the violence from Haiti to Bangladesh was all about biofuels, or global warming, and utterly unrelated to the price of gold or oil or other investment opportunities hedge funds have been seeking since US real estate went south. William Pfaff also has an excellent column.

Pressure Will Build From Wrong Way Trends- WSE Pro Fed Report

Wed, 23 Apr 2008 10:52:45 PDT
Interest rates were lower in today’s Open Market Operations as the Fed essentially stood pat. The flood of Treasury Cash Management Bill (CMB) paydowns this week has finally had an effect in the money market, suppressing both the overnight Fed Funds rate and the rates at today’s repo auction. Conversely, the yield at the Treasury’s 2 year note auction rose 48 basis points from the level of the last such auction in March. At the same time, signs are building of decreased indirect bidder interest

Experts Everywhere; Howcast Integrated

This morning’s New York Times has a great piece by technology writer Miguel Helft on the growth of the how-to video sector. A popular “smorgasbord” of instructional content, from the “satirical” to the “humorous” to the “esoteric,”as well as platforms to support it, is emerging, he points out, and online video seems like the perfect medium for it, given the enormous range of subjects people want to learn about. How else could you learn how to start a fire with a battery? It is with these pro

When Time and Money Are Fixed, Some Auto Service Locations Find Other Ways To Please You

Wed, 23 Apr 2008 11:00:14 PDT
If you get your car serviced, do you generally have a good time or bad? As it turns out, most people tend to consider the time and money they spend (and the quality of the work) at automotive service locations to be pretty consistent. That is to say: fixed and mostly forgettable. Sometimes this is more time/money/anguish than average, sometimes less, but overall somewhere in the fat part of the curve which averages out to be quite forgettable. It is therefore interesting, as a result, to find

The first hundred. Mayor Dominic Sarno I've been meaning to post about the passing of the first 100 days of the Sarno mayoralty in Springfield. It is an arbitrary, though traditional ritual of American politics to judge a new office holder on the basis of what trends are indicated by the first one hundred days of their administration. By no means definitive nor always fair, it's still a worthwhile appraisal. Here is what I think are the most important things about Sarno's administration thu
