2007-11-06 14:11 Proposed expansion of EU terrorism law a threat to freedom of expression
It must be asked why the welcome proposals on "practical action to stem the use of explosives" have taken so long to be put forward The Commission should focus on practical steps to improve cooperation between the Member States instead of trying to impose sweeping restrictions on freedom of expression. As part of its latest package of counter-terrorism measures the European Commission has tabled amendments to the 2002 EU Framework Decision on combating terrorism. The proposed amendments [Proposa …

2007-11-06 06:09 thinking is not independent of the expression of thought
I have been trying in all this to remove the temptation to think that there œmust be a mental process of thinking, hoping, wishing, believing, etc., independent of the process of expressing a thought, a hope, a wish, etc.. .. If we scrutinize the usages which we make of œthinking, œmeaning, œwishing, etc., going through this process rids us of the temptation to look for a peculiar act of thinking, independent of the act of expressing our thoughts, and stowed away in some particular mediu …

2007-11-05 09:47 Video: Dizzee Rascal: "Flex"
Ah, it's a parody of that hot new American Idol phenomenon I've been hearing so much about, starring UK rapper Dizzee Rascal. Is somebody bringing 2003 back The hypercolor beats of "Flex" immediately suggest otherwise, confirming that yeah, this is a song from Dizzee's latest album, Maths + English. "I love it when you wine like that," Dizzee raps, expressing his love of watching girls dance. When he imagines himself as the Simon Cowell figure on a talent competition called "Flex Factor", Dizzee …

2007-11-03 08:53 Damned if you do, damned if you don´t
NY Times har en intressant artikel om hur kvinnligt ledarskap uppfattas. Grundprincipen är att hur kvinnor än gör, så gör de fel. "It found that women who act in ways that are consistent with gender stereotypes defined as focusing œon work relationships and expressing œconcern for other people s perspectives are considered less competent. But if they act in ways that are seen as more œmale like œact assertively, focus on work task, display ambition they are seen as œtoo tough and œunfe …

Rick Milenthal in questo interessantissimo articolo ci da una conferma sull'evoluzione nei processi di fruizione dei media da parte di un'utenza sempre più smart e sempre più consapevole. "Spending time with consumers in the real world, where and when they actually engage with media, enabled us to see that when they spend time with media, they do it with a purpose, goal or need that drives their behavior. They enter different modes, or mind-sets, that drive their choices, actions and receptivity …

2007-10-26 19:21 Facebook is not social media
I have recently been reading, slowly and with considerable effort, Hannah Arendt's The Human Condition. What I have read seems to suggest a surprising conclusion: Facebook.com, and many other comparable forms of what is commonly called "social media" or "social computing", is not fundamentally "social". I try to explain the line of this thought, with help from Arendt's book. A fundamental concept for her is vita activa, consisting of three fundamental human activities labor, work, and action. Th …

(a) Did it happen (b) Should the U.S. House of Representatives be expressing itself on this now (c) Was House Speaker Nancy Pelosi 's determination to bring this to a vote, knowing that it risked provoking Turkey into withdrawing crucial assistance to American soldiers in Iraq, a conscious (columnist Thomas Sowell) or unconscious (blogger Mickey Kaus) attempt to sabotage t …

Matt Yglesias writes : People often note that there appears to be a more vigorous debate over Israel's approach to the Israeli-Arab conflict in the mainstream Israeli press than there is in the mainstream American press. This is, however, the kind of judgment that it's hard for a casual American observer to make with much confidence. Writing in International Security, however, Jerome Slater takes a more systematic comparison of coverage of the conflict in The New York Times and in H …

By Camilla Cavendish (THE TIMES, 18/10/07): Tonight, Europe s leaders will be picking over some Euro-trivia along with their hors d oeuvres. The Austrians are worried that Germany might nick their medical students. The Poles want an extra court official on the European Court of Justice. The Bulgarians want to use the word œevro instead of œeuro which has upset the European Central Bank. These are, apparently, the last stumbling blocks to agreement on the draft EU treaty.

The students were to present 3 rough models (architectural equivalent of sketches pretty much) then, as in all critiques, to explain/defend their work. This was clearly an assign …

While it is clear that the professor and I feel quite differently about the extent of the problems in academia, the final two paragraphs of the piece contained more intellectual honesty than the last bit of coverage the Times gave Indoctrinate U. Professor Fish admits: But then there's the part we should take seriously: professors who use the classroom as a stage for their political views. Maloney spe …

From Nightclub & Bar As commodity prices rise and competition in all segments of the foodservice industry grows fiercer, operators are looking for ways to increase their profit margins, and one way to do that is by making more money selling drinks. High-margin beverages account for much of the profit at many restaurants, but they could be marketed better, according to a recent study, which found that œold and œboring were common adjectives used to describe drink promotions.

As Part 1 explained, being a keeper at home does involve some plain, ordinary work, just like any other job does. And viewing that working through the light of the Christian duty, we find a wealth of opportunities to serve our families. But that is only a part of what being a keeper at home is...there is so much more, although the "so much more" has been lost! The picture of staying home is so marred by feminists influences, that most women truly don't understand the plethora of activities, oppo …

The Ebony Courtesan is celebrating the spirit of Friedrich Nietzsche today.The great German philosopher was born on October 15, 1844. It is not enough to prove something, one has also to seduce or elevate people to it. That is why the man of knowledge should learn how to speak his wisdom: and often in such a way that it sounds like folly! Friedrich Nietzsche Through arrangements of lines and colors, I get sym …

Putting apps on it has done nothing but force my interest elsewhere. But at least Robert seems to have no qualms about expressing his regret, "Damn I wish I hadn t locked my rolodex in this trunk."
