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...

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...
