Educational partnerships with China, part one | Prairie Fire

An excellent piece on significant steps for educational opportunities with foreign countries.

Educational partnerships with China,
part one

The first of a two-part series on the University of Nebraska’s growing exchange of educational opportunities with China, this article discusses the importance of China on the world stage and the partnerships that have been developed between the Nebraska university system and Chinese universities.

By Jane Hanson

On Aug. 8, 2008, the Olympic “Bird’s Nest” stadium in Beijing was the site of pageantry, protocol and fireworks for the 2008 Summer Olympics, as China very visibly stepped out on the world stage. If by any chance you missed the television coverage of the opening ceremonies at the Summer Olympics, you might not understand fully the need for a connection between China and the University of Nebraska. You might even ask yourself why events halfway around the globe, in a time zone 12 hours ahead of Nebraska, could have so much significance. The answer is that China, with a population of 1.3 billion people, has impacted world markets through the manufacturing of world goods, the import of raw materials and the processing of its own natural resources, on an unprecedented global scale. If you have any doubt of this, walk through any mall or strip mall in America and make a count of the “Made in China” labels. It would be much more challenging to find labels on merchandise that do not carry the words. In order to sustain such economic growth, China must educate its work force, and it is turning increasingly to foreign universities to assist in this process. This article will focus on the role of Nebraska’s premiere public university, the University of Nebraska, and its growing exchange of educational opportunities with China.

Do Not Call Registry saved from mandatory reset

As usual, good stuff from Arstechnica.

This Presidents' Day, if you're an American, you can thank George W. Bush for at least one thing: on Friday, the President signed into law new legislation which will make the national Do Not Call registry even better. No one likes phone spam, and the DNCR is doing a great job of curtailing it. Yet, the DNCR did have some flaws, and in a rare case of Washington harmony, all parties came together to fix the most pressing problems.

The big kahuna was a ticking clock on original DNCR registrations from users like you and me. When the DNCR was launched in 2003, it was launched with a five-year "reset" policy for any registered number.

This meant that, according to the original rules, had you signed up in 2003, sometime in 2008 you'd be removed from the list whether you liked it or not. You could always sign up again, but it's a hassle that no one (save perhaps telemarketers) thought was fair.

Reacting to consumer and congressional concern that a "reset" was both unnecessary and
unfair to consumers, the FTC already agreed to suspend the removal of any registered users until Congress and the President could consider the matter. It didn't make sense to start resetting user's registry entries if there was a chance the policy would be chucked out the window.

Dealmaking, dollars means DRM is dead

Posted by Larry Dignan 

Apple and EMI have found an interesting way to rid the world of digital rights management software for just a little extra pocket change.

Apple will offer DRM-free music from EMI for $1.29 per song (see Techmeme discussion). To entice you to pay a little more for DRM-free music you'll get higher quality 256 kbps AAC encoding.

Music with DRM will cost you 99 cents at the current quality standards. To most folks the extra 30 cents for DRM-free music is probably worth it. But what's interesting in this no-DRM announcement between Apple and EMI is that it really reveals Steve Jobs' secret sauce–dealmaking with media partners to line everyone's pockets.   

How I Became A Music Pirate

DVDs have more information on them and cost less...
CDs generally have 2 decent songs and the rest is crapolla. Hence the popularity of "Greatest Hits" CDs.

Nice article posted at The Consumerist - Shoppers Bite Back:

Does DRM drive even honest well-meaning people to piracy? Yes, of course it does.

Reader and music lover Jarrett tried to send the following "detailed, passionate complaint letter" to Rhino, but their only reply was: 450 Server configuration problem

Good for us, because Jerrett decided to send his letter to us. So, without delay, here is "How I Become A Music Pirate" by Jarrett.

How I Became A Music Pirate

I thought I was the music industry's dream consumer.

As a 40 year old male with a long-standing passion for "all things music," I've spent a bundle on my collection. In college most of my waking hours were spent wandering around record stores, swap meets and record conventions, much to the dismay of the women I was ostensibly dating. Then again, the fact that I also worked as a DJ at the radio station and hung out with obsessive record collector types probably didn't help matters in the romance department.

Find Lost Pets with the Micro I.D. Rescue Collar

The comments are hilarious. Lo-tech wins...

Link: Gearlog

Post by Andre Bermudez -- Thursday March  8, 2007

Meow. I know that as a cat, I claw at everything and mostly just give you hairballs in return. Still, if I got lost you'd probably be very sad. But now PetSafe has developed the Micro I.D. Rescue Collar, which contains a hidden USB flash drive that holds all the information needed to get back your favorite pet cat or dog.

Instead of requiring an inconvenient visit to the veterinarian to scan information [[like implanted ID chips or whatever they're called, right? Might want to add that]], the Rescue Collar holds all the information anyone would need to get this cute kitty or a pet dog back to its rightful home. You can store your home, work, and cell phone numbers, as well as my vet records, pet profile and even adorable photos of me--or your other furry friends. The collar also includes a toll-free number that connects nice strangers or Animal Control Officers to the PetSafe Rescue Service if they don't have access to a computer.

This purrfect solution for finding lost pets costs $39 and is available in multiple sizes. Now how about an electronic device for scratching behind the ears?

Holiday Storm of 2006

This snowstorm hit the Denver Metro area pretty hard, closing DIA and most everything else because of the wind that came with it.
