CBC to boost newsgathering in Alberta, but drops Calgary Newsworld programming

Thu, 03 Apr 2008 12:39:49 PDT
The CBC will dramatically increase resources devoted to covering local and national news in Alberta generally and Calgary and Edmonton in particular. Saying it’s moving to fulfill a commitment to local newsgathering announced nationally last year, CBC News will be doubling the number of newsgathering resources in Alberta by adding approximately 25 new assignments for television journalists based in Calgary and Edmonton to focus on local and national stories originating in Alberta. At the same

Newsworld jobs: I’m sure it’s just a coincidence…

Mon, 07 Apr 2008 10:59:10 PDT
Ten new CBC News jobs in Calgary were posted this morning. These, presumably, are part of the people given back to Alberta after CBC moved — er, “reconfigured” — CBC Newsworld programming from Calgary to Toronto: 4 reporter/editors Video-journalist 4 videgraphers Switcher-Director In what I’m sure is just a coincidence, only two positions are posted for Toronto this morning: Specialist in “Contract Management” Specialist in Automation

A news junkie’s dream …. or nightmare

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 10:46:47 PDT
I am a news junkie and admittedly if I had cable plus the extra TV I would probably have either CNN or CBC Newsworld on the whole time I’m in my room I jokingly call my office. So when I saw Brian Solis’ post about local broadcast news going social I was at first rather skeptical of the the idea; after all everything these days is having the social sticker slapped on its ass like it is going to be the road to instant riches or something. But when I clicked on the LiveNewsComeras.com link (go

Instead of dealing with the serious issue at hand, alleged election overspending, the Con's are as usual pointing fingers at the Lib's and anyone else they can think of as a diversion. One of their favourite attack dogs, Pierre Poilievre apparently sees a conspiracy here. Ottawa-area Conservative Pierre Poilievre (PWAH'-lee-ehv) goes further, accusing Elections Canada of inviting the Liberal party to watch the raid unfold. Note to Petey. The Lib's have said that they saw the story on Newsworl

Cons: RCMP Raid Was a 'Publicity Stunt'

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 13:10:43 PDT
Pass the tissues. Oh how I weep for those poor victims of the RCMP raid of the Cons' headquarters. Not. The tories are scrambling to paint themselves as being oppressed after yesterday's raid (which continues today). The problem is that they appointed the two Elections Canada officials they're now suing and that they applaud the RCMP (even protecting Zaccardelli to the bitter end) except when they're the targets of a legally-sanctioned warrant. And now, they're also trying to implicate the Li

Forty-eight hours from now, give or take a little, we should have the final results of the Pennsylvania Democratic primary. Supporters will scream at the top of their lungs, sane minds will break, and pollsters are going to flood the field, and somewhere along the line, voters are actually going to vote for who they believe should be the Democratic nominee. Libby Spencer describes what seems to be a disparity between what we’re seeing in the polls, and what is being seen on the ground. P

A new report released today by Forrester Research is predicting that enterprise spending on Web 2.0 technologies is going to increase dramatically over the next five years. This increase will include more spending on social networking tools, mashups, and RSS, with the end result being a global enterprise market of $4.6 billion by the year 2013. This change is not without its challenges. Although there is money to be made in the industry by vendors, Web 2.0 tools by their very nature are define

Preaching is a Skill

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 22:58:19 PDT
A brief rant: I continually run into people in the church, in seminary, in my theology reading, and on theology blogs that are opposed to any "skill-based" approach to preaching. They either naively believe, as some do, that preaching is pure talent. You are either a gifted preacher or you are not and there isn't a damn thing you can do about it either way. Or else out of silly theological preoccupations they insist that treating preaching like a skill diminishes it in some way. Poppycock. Bo

Last week at the Hammer museum in Westwood California, Larry Fink regaled us with the tales of his life. We learned about the town he lives in, his politics, his family. The background he gave us to some of the images, open a whole other level of understanding of the photograph. But Do You Want That? Photographs of his I’ve kn

Misconceptions about Bulimia

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 23:00:26 PDT
I read a news report this morning that another celebrity has admitted to having bulimia. What are you thinking of? Young starlets, the pressure to be thin, to be perfect. A desire for "control". Fear of womanhood and femininity. Except it's a he. And the image isn't quite what you would think. The confession is from former deputy Prime Minister of the UK, and he's nearing 70. He doesn't fit our society's ideas of what a person with bulimia is or looks like. Yet his struggles are still very r

For a long time I used an old laptop and just streamed stuff using Windows Media Player, took the output from the audio out socket and plugged it into my HiFi, not pretty and low quality. But having to fire up the PC and wait for Windows before playing air guitar to my favourite Pink Floyd track (Comfortably Numb if you must know!) was getting in the way of enjoying my music. I

New 2008 BrickArms weapons Review]

Last week, I received my shipment of new 2008 BrickArms weapons, and I’ve been eagerly building and waiting for a break in the snow (!) to take pictures. Aside from much improved polish, the BA-M5 rifles and BA-M6 pistols aren’t substantially different from the prototypes I highlighted in October, as see

Quest, 46, was arrested at around 3:40 a.m. after a cop spotted him and another man inside the park near 64th Street, a police source sai

Another excellent post from Chris Ortiz, who is worthy to be Rushdoony’s adopted son. He writes that China’s nationalism is "a great root to their strength." Here in the United States of Israel, "nationalism" is the dirty n-word, and Jews have taught our countrymen to be ashamed of it. Instead, they are taught to love "patriotism," which has come to mean cheerleading for warmongers and international bankers and buying Toby Keith CDs. "Certainly, patriotism is germane to the idea of nationalism,
