Barker is Blackhawks most meaningful signing
2009-07-07 17:57:00 Cam Barker has done more than Marian Hossa to signify the real meaning of what's happening with the Blackhawks in Chicago. This is a city on the make again with a number of gay blades, if you will excuse the expression. Gay used to mean happy and cheery once upon a time and still should. There is no happier warrior to illustrate that fact than Barker. Here was a guy that could have ripped the tomahawk off his jersey and held it to the organization's throats. He had a chance to shout "show me the money" and create an uproar out of an oversight. Instead, the Hawks defenseman passed as slickly as he did during the season. He chose...

GAO Rules that the VA Failed to Conduct Meaningful Discussions
2008-12-15 22:07:00 A decision just published by the Government Accountability Office ("GAO"), Matter of Burchick Construction Co., mpany, involved a request for proposals issued by the Department of Veteran Affairs ("VA") for the construction of an ambulatory care center . After receiving five proposals and evaluating the technical evaluation factors, the VA conducted discussions with the offerors that only addressed their price proposals. The VA determined that the offeror providing the best value was Massaro Corporation at a firm fixed price of $38,530,000. Burchick Construction Company, whose price proposal of $36,686,000 was the lowest price offered, challenged the award of the contract to Massaro. During the evaluation of technical proposals, the VA had determined that Burchick's proposal contained "weaknesses" in a number of factors, including past performance, identification of key personnel, and small business particip...

IQ Is a Meaningful Construct and Measurement
2008-11-27 11:40:00 IQ tests have been designed for a century now, and there is little real controversy anymore among psychometricians and psychologists about how accurate they are. The notion that they are culturally biased or inaccurate has largely been manufactured by the Cultural Left because unfortunately, the scores have not worked out very well racially in terms of upholding egalitarian principles.Much is also made of what IQ tests measure, and whether they measure anything important. Surely they measure the brains necessary to compete effectively in a modern society.They also line up well with many other things.The lower the IQ, the more likely the person is to do stupid things - go to jail or prison, commit crimes or lots of crimes, have kids out of wedlock or as a teenager, parent multiple children by multiple partners, be a lousy parent to your child if you're female or refuse to support the kid if you're male, go on welfare, engage in domestic violence, have poor to low morals, join a st...

A meaningful Blogger? Or simply a compliant one?
2008-06-11 13:15:00 Odd, to find a question like this on one of the more meaningful blogs around; Can I Be a Meaningful Blogger? Yet, that’s the very question James Q Wilson at Volokh Conspiracy posts. And it’s posing adds to an argument I have often enough with regulars both here and at the other places I frequent: A lot of readers have suggested that I am not a helpful blogger because I refer people to other studies for data to support my arguments….. …Now for a few more facts, but I warn you that to believe my assertions you will actually have to go out and read something… …Were I devoted to blogging full time, I would quote all the data and summarize all of the studies, thereby getting nothing else done. I had assumed when I started my blog messages that people would pause, think, and look up facts. A few have, but most seem to have opinions they like to express quickly. There is nothing wrong with this, except that it doesn’t advance knowledge. Well,...

What if "nowhere" is actually somewhere meaningful?
2008-06-04 00:33:00 How quick human beings can assume they are getting "nowhere." This hypothetical place often evokes negative feelings of impatience, frustration and confusion. How did you get there? The imagined discomfort you feel pushes you to ask when you will leave. Hmm...What if "nowhere" is actually somewhere meaningful? What if you are where you are and you feel as you do for good reason you haven't figured out yet? Each of us has choices to move through life more or less aware. You might ask, "but, aware of what exactly?"You may not realize that you frequently make different kinds of decisions at different levels. You are only consciously aware of some of these choices, and even fewer of the implications. Each choice can lead to more than one outcome. If you're unaware of certain undesirable implications, then this prevents you from making another choice.As you evolve to listen to parts of your authentic...

I want meaningful Indian films: Om Puri
2008-04-25 09:37:00 Veteran actor Om Puri, who has just taken over as chairman of the National Film Development Corporation (NFDC), says he hopes to promote meaningful films that impart a social message."I really want to encourage films whose subject is viable to the needs of society and those which have a meaning. I will try my best to help those people who have meaningful scripts but cannot stand on their own financially," Puri told IANS in a telephonic interview from Mumbai.NFDC is India?s state-run film financing body and Puri took over as its chairman Wednesday.According to the actor, who has given stellar performances in many Indian as well as international movies, films like "Manthan" and "Aakrosh" are the kinds that the Indian film industry needs today."Films made by Shyam Benegal and Govind Nihalani were huge hits and they were not commercial. For that matter, ?Malamaal Weekly? was also a very well made film," Om commented.He also feels that a commercial script with a star-studded cast is not ...

Picking A Meaningful Benchmark
2008-04-15 01:07:00 Every now and then I'll run across someone comparing the performance of their portfolio against the incorrect benchmark. For example, if your portfolio was only blue-chip Canadian stocks and you surmised that your investing prowess is superior because your portfolio's returns were better than the S&P 500 over the last decade your reference is almost meaningless. In this case your benchmark should be the S&P/TSX 60 Index.But what about those who have a portfolio consisting of some US stocks, Canadian stocks, some international stocks and a smattering of domestic bonds? How do you know if your portfolio measures up? In this case you must create your own weighted-average benchmark.For example let's assume that our investor has 35% of his stocks in blue-chip Canadian stocks, 25% in a broad selection of US equities, and 40% of his portfolio invested in individual Canadian bonds of various maturities, credit ratings and issuers (Government and Corporate bonds). If his overall p...

Obama's Record: Why Voting 'Present' Is Meaningful and Not the Same As Not
2008-01-22 20:43:00 Barack Obama's 136 "present" votes in the Illinois State Legislature - in which he voted "present" rather than "yes" or "no" about passage of bills - was a hot topic in last night's Democratic debate on CNN in South Carolina. Hillary Clinton and John Edwards both jumped on Obama for his "present" votes, and Edwards, in particular, spoke of the "present" votes as the same as Obama's just "not showing up" for the votes.I have never served in government, but I've been an active participant in academic governance for more years than I care to remember (all faculty are, and I have also been Chair of the Department of Communication and Media Studies at Fordham University for the past six years). So perhaps I can shed some useful light on this issue.In a sentence: in academic governance, abstaining (the equivalent of voting "present") is a highly meaningful type of vote, one which usually bespeaks considerable contemplation of the issues, and is therefore utterly different from not s...

Meaningful Relationship: A Closer Look
2007-11-15 02:45:00 Same sex relationship used to be a taboo. The case in the 21st century portrays a radically different scenario. Today, this is commonplace. While there is still a part of our society that abhors this type of relationship, the majority have learned to embrace this new engagement.I must confess that I was one of those who cannot simply accept the idea. However, this perception changed when I learned that one of my favorite spirituality-authors, Father Henry Nouwen, is gay. It was disheartening at first. I reasoned to myself to no avail. Here is a man of respect, stature, and whom I have always quoted in my writings and talk points on personality development, is openly confessing about his sexuality. It was an eye opener. Right there and then, I learned a very valuable lesson in life. That is any relationship can be meaningful, regardless of sexual, preferences or orientations, if they are matched in a lot of respect, contrary to what I used to believe that compatibility has noth...
