News Discovery Tools: Slices for Twitter Organizes and Auto-Curates Your News Stream Into Categories

Robin Good: Slices is a news discovery app that allows you to find the news that interest you by “slicing” the Twitter timeline into topic-specific categories, making it much easier to find what you are looking for.

From Pandodaily official review: “Slices offers 21 searchable categories – humor, technology, sports, and so on – that lead you to people and lists to follow. Included among those top-level categories is the “Live Events” option, which allows you to select an event – a football match, say, or a TV show – and follow Tweets from a curated list.

Also of note: “…it synchronizes between mobile devices and the Slices website (slices.me), which means it knows which Tweets you’ve already read, no matter where you access it from.

…The “Timeline Slicer” also outdoes Twitter’s Lists as a way to organize the people you follow into specific categories. They’re easier to set up and easier to access, …”

Slices is available on iOS, Android and the Web.

The real problem with the civilian-military gap.

By Rosa Brooks

One of the biggest misunderstandings about the civilian-military gap is that it is cultural — the national security version of the red state-blue state divide.

But the distance between those in and out of uniform isn't fundamentally a matter of Texas vs. Massachusetts or NASCAR vs. Wimbledon. At the most basic level, it encompasses deeply different understandings of how we think — how we plan, how we evaluate risk, even how we define problems in the first place. Ironically, the one place where the gap should be the most avoidable is the place where its effects are the most pernicious: Washington.

Mini-Me: US Government Lies to the US People? Huh?

Huh?

Reagan Assistant Secretary of Commerce Paul Craig Roberts: Friday’s Jobs Report: More Lies From “our” Big Brother

EXTRACT:

In his report on the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ latest jobs and unemployment report, statistician John Williams (shadowstats.com) writes: “The July employment and unemployment numbers published today, August 3rd, were worthless and likely misleading. . . .

The government that lies to you about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, about Iraq’s al Qaeda connections, about the Taliban in Afghanistan, about Osama bin Laden, about Libya and Gadhafi, about Iranian nukes, about Syria, about Pakistan, about Yemen and Somalia, about Bradley Manning, about Julian Assange and Wikileaks, indeed about everything under the sun, also lies to you about jobs, unemployment, economic recovery, GDP growth, 9/11, the “terrorist threat,” everything. Try to find anything that the government has said over the past 6 presidential terms that is not a lie.

Huh?

Have you ever wondered why the CPI, GDP and employment numbers run counter to your personal and business experiences? The problem lies in biased and often-manipulated government reporting.

Primers on Government Economic Reports What you've suspected but were afraid to ask. The story behind unemployment, the Federal Deficit, CPI, GDP.

Phi Beta Iota:  The public is a power that can be manipulated, lied to, abused, and generally ignored–up to a a point.  It is also a power that cannot be repressed when it explodes in self-awareness.  One soccer mom torching herself–of 18 veterans who will commit suicide on any one day, but doing so together on the steps of Capital Hill, will rock the USA.

Bob Seelert, Chairman of Saatchi & Saatchi Worldwide (New York): When things are not going well, until you get the truth out on the table, no matter how ugly, you are not in a position to deal with it.

Conflicts of Interest and Revolving Doors that Affect Health and Well Being

This important article has various examples of government/private industry revolving door employment and conflicts of interest in the medical industrial complex that can and has killed people.

Example of revolving door from it:

“Joining a parade of other high-ranking government officials who pass through the revolving doors between government and Big Pharma, [Julie] Gerberding [former Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)—an agency charged with overseeing vaccines and drug companies] left a trail of controversy behind her when she left the CDC. While a 2009 article by the Institute for Southern Studies lists a number of them, I believe they left out the most important ones, namely her misinformation campaign about the pandemic swine flu vaccine, as well as her naive stance on vaccine safety issues in general.
