Domestic radicals are focused on material and economic destruction. But that’s for now. One day, someone’s going to get killed by the home-grown terror.
Father-Son Doctor Team Aims To Revamp Hospital Business Intelligence
InformationWeek – Dec 16, 2005
At most institutions, dozens of home-grown legacy systems are scattered throughout the organization, with little interaction between them. Funding is often a problem — hospitals generally have little money left over to spend on IT upgrades — and so is compliance. Privacy issues make it difficult for doctors to share patient data, a status quo that ultimately impedes research, many clinicians says. Doctors in one part of the country or the world might be getting high-quality results with one form of treatment on a certain disease, but if they can’t communicate this or even locate the trend with any efficiency, it does no wider good.
2005 Aussie film review
Melbourne Herald Sun – Dec 16, 2005
article-tools –> AAP December 16, 2005 12:00am WHO would have thought that just a handful of movies could turn Australia’s entire film industry around? But that is exactly what happened in 2005. The critical success of home-grown movies including Little Fish, The Proposition, Wolf Creek and Look Both Ways have reinforced confidence in the Australian industry, leaving it with a feeling of enthusiasm and renewed energy. “Things are looking very good,” said Australian Film Commission (AFC) chief executive Kim Dalton. “It is an industry that survives on hope and looking to the future and I think this year has been a good year. “We have seen a number of Australian films performing well at the local box office as well as being critically received internationally. ”
In 2004, people were left wondering what was going on behind the scenes as just one film, Somersault, received any critical acclaim.
If ABA franchise fails in Vermont, don’t cry to Wolff
San Diego Union Tribune – Dec 16, 2005
"We've had Jack McCallum spend a week as the assistant coach of the Phoenix Suns, Tom Verducci tried out for the Toronto Blue Jays, and George Plimpton made a career out of it, so why not try it and see what kind of awkward reality series moments we can create?" Wolff said yesterday, recounting how others at SI have made themselves the topics of stories in the past. SI has no financial interest in the team, although the magazine did allow one of its graphic art designers to help Wolff come up with a logo. The 48-year-old scribe said he will remain a full-time staff writer but concentrate on a regular diary, describing what it's like to pull together a roster of mostly home-grown talent, lure sponsorships, create community interest and fix up the majestic Barre (Vt. ) Auditorium (with 1,650 seats) to host games against other ABA teams. On a local level, Wolff wants to help bring Vermont into the 21st century with the Frost Heaves – the name comes from a common term in the region that describes what happens when the moist ground freezes so fast that it juts up and brings traffic to a crawl.
China plagued by innovation gap
VNUNet.com – Dec 16, 2005
"We have to change our concept from concentrating on the development ofnatural resources to the development of human resources," said Nan. The appearance of numerous stories on innovation-related topics instate-controlled media recently highlights government concern over China’s lackof high-level home-grown research. Cast will soon publish an official long-termplan to guide science and technology in China over the next 15 years. China lags particularly badly in life sciences and related fields, whilebeing more up to date in information processing, according to a report currentlybeing finalised by the state-run National Research Centre for Science andTechnology for Development. The report looks to private industry to fill theresearch gap. However, the dominance of state-owned companies in China may hinder thatgoal.
