America’s share of global imports has fallen to 14% last year from over 20% in 2000. The import share of the developing countries has grown to 40.6% last year from 33% in 2000.[1]

Last night the Xavier Musketeers defeated the Duquesne Dukes, 75 to 48. With their victory over the Dukes, the Musketeers have now won 9 games in a row.

Do the Musketeers have a chance for a number 1 seed in the NCAA tournament?

A friend of mine who's been obsessed with the latest format war passed this explanation of the results on to me.

Not being a big gadget-head, I haven't been paying a huge amount of attention. It seems to me, though, that an argument for failure that boils down to "they teamed with Microsoft" is a bit on the thin side. Any comments from the gadget-head gallery here?

Does anyone know where I can find some good political/national security/military affairs/international Relations/current events type Internet radio podcasts/webcasts? Something with good conversations and interesting guests?

Posted by: Seerov | Friday, February 22, 2008

Hunt down Fareed Zakaria's NEWSWEEK articles online. They usually come with streaming video of his interviews with assorted guests.

Posted by: Michael | Friday, February 22, 2008

Seerov, I have quite a few subscribed pod and webcasts. Kent's Imperative also had a few good ones that I pilfered from as well. The ones that are IR, mil and current affairs related are:

Podcasts

Council of Foreign relations podcasts.
CI Centre podcasts
EconTalk
NPR series: Intelligence Squared U.S.
On the Media
Pritzker Military Library
I also subscribe to a lot of the Australian Radio National podcasts. Some of them are brilliant, like the psychology one "All in the Mind".
The Economist Podcast

Webcasts

Library of Congress webcasts
Conversations with History

Youtube channels:
GoogleTalk
EgsVideo
ForaTV
MIT
National Geographic
PBS
PulitzerCentre
thenobelprize
uchannel

You'll have to google them all. Perhaps I'll make a blog post with all the links.

Posted by: Münzenberg | Friday, February 22, 2008

Seerov, if you wanted to save time, the ones you want with good, and interesting, guests are probably ForaTV, Conversations with History and NPR: Intelligence Squared U.S.

They are all interesting, but I reckon those are the best.

Posted by: Münzenberg | Friday, February 22, 2008

Thanks folks! Here's one that I like:

Rethinking the future and international power series.

http://www.jhuapl.edu/POW/rethinking07/video.cfm

My favorite is the George Friedman talk.

ElamBend,

The trade deficit is a capital surplus, and vice versa. Sadly, the people and the politicians only focus on which one is the deficit, and never the one that is a surplus. (Nor do they understand what they are saying.)

Orho Slice,

Michael,

Somewhat biased, but a pretty good article. Reminds me of Microsoft's "embrace and extend" philosophy -- loving its enemies to death [1,2].

More practically, the early victory for BluRay is a strategic defeat for Microsoft. They were playing either to win (and have their HD-DVD everywhere) or at least tie (so movies become computerized, and they'd just be a "Rent Movie" link on every copy of Windows '09). Instead, they lost flat-out.

Sony now has the only future-proof next-gen console (MS will need to make an XBOX 360 BluRay eventually, because they'll run up against the limit of how much can be included on one DVD disk, or else sunset the 360 early). Further, Sony also has the cheapest next-gen disk player on the market in the PS3.

Really stunning.

The only real NCAA sport is football.

Seerov, Michael, and Munzenberg,

Thanks for the podcast links!

JJ,

Interesting!

From the Telegraph: EU withdraws from Kosovo under pressure...and they probably won't be coming back for a while.

Smitten,

Thank you for the link.

The headline's somewhat deceptive. In the ethnically-Serbian bordertown of Mitrovica, which has seen Serbian ethnic violence, EU civilian bureaucrats are being withdrawn and NATO military peacekeepers are stepping forward. The militarization of the border may be regrettable, but it signals a stepping-forward on the part of the west.

Brendan,

LOL [1]

Dan,
I agree, what interests me is how the change in share of the total import market will change the options available for consumers. Will our tastes come to be more defined by the consumer desires in the larger markets (such as India and China)?

Posted by: ElamBend | Sunday, February 24, 2008

Seerov,

gnxp [1] and boingboing [2] also have some good podcast recommendations.

ElamBend,

Indeed. The next-gen console wars is probably a good example of this. While the XBOX 360 has just fallen below the PS3 in North America, it has been trailing for some time in Europe and Japan. When PS3 becomes the platform of choice, the rest of the world will have had a hand in that.

China has invited the US and Japan to have regular high-level meetings to talk about energy issues, North Korea, etc.
No word on why S. Korea wasn't included, though I'm sure it's sending elites there in to paranoiac panic [they should be invited].[1]

I found this at 'Contentions' where this was seen dimly and that agreeing would give China legitimacy. [2]

I think this is a good thing as it pulls China further into the system aka the Core.

One of those weblogs you can spend hours exploring (and may have to if your connection's slow).
http://bldgblog.blogspot.com/2008/02/amsterdam-subcity.html

Content ranges from artistic speculation bordering on the feverish to speculation on directions of future architecture (my favorite posts) to observations on the influence architecture and has on the people using it.

Any special plans folks have for Leap Day? I was considering an experiment: no writing, reading, watching, talking, gesturing, eating, riding, grooming, cleaning. Just one and one's thinking (and some water and light exercise, and intermittent waste functions).

Super link, Michael. Feel free to send more.

I have been ingesting this interesting supplement in my routine and I thought I would include everyone my weight loss. I heard about this product through a roommate and I ended up ordering a trial and started seeing results extremely fast. I could not believe I had actually lost 20lbs in 2.5 months simply by taking this supplement. If you're interested they offer a free trial, check it out here: the acai berry

Hola a todos, en mi primer post me gustaría compartir algo con vosotros, Ya sabéis que para buscar y descargar música en internet, tenemos muy pocas opciones, generalmente utilizamos el emule o el ares, pero yo personalmente encuentro bastante frustrante bajarme una canción y que no sea la que busco, porque pierdo bastante tiempo encontrando material de calidad.

Una amiga me recomendó utilizar Altavz como mi buscador de música, y la verdad es una gozada.

Además de poder escuchar la canción, descargarla o agregarla a tus listas preferidas puedes encontrar a otros usuarios y compartir tu música con ellos.

Hace mucho que no utilizo emule, sino este buscador de música.
