Colleagues,

Please see below a video review by John Caddell, author of the "Customers Are Talking" blog, on Andrew McAfee's new book (November 2009) "Enterprise 2.0: New Collaborative Tools For Your Organization's Toughest Challenges." I think this is one of the best of a new genre of books on "Web 2.0", and how it can be interactively used to advance business "Global Brand Identification, "Thought Leadership", Collaboration and Communication.…

US President Expected to Announce Afghanistan Policy Tuesday

U.S. news organizations say President Barack Obama plans to announce his new strategy for Afghanistan on Tuesday evening, during a prime-time television address.

The reports say the president is most likely to back a plan to send between 30,000 and 35,000 additional U.S. troops to the country.

The top U.S. and NATO commander in Afghanistan earlier this year told the president that up to 40,000 troops are needed to combat Taliban and al-Qaida militants in the region.…

It was 20 years ago today....

Yes indeed. I remember it well. 22 November 1989 (10:15 AM). My first of six Congressional testimonies. Waxing poetic on the sorry state of Federal preparedness and response to disasters (this was just after both the catastrophic earthquakes in Armenia and San Francisco (Loma Prieta or "World Series" quake). If I had to give the same testimony today, there would be very little that I would change. Sad. But true. But it was the first real break in my "disastrous" career:…

Hacked E-mails Fuel Climate Change Skeptics

Hundreds of private e-mails and documents hacked from a computer server at a British university are causing a stir among global warming skeptics, who say they show that climate scientists conspired to overstate the case for a human influence on climate change.

The e-mails, attributed to prominent American and British climate researchers, include discussions of scientific data and whether it should be released, exchanges about how best to combat the arguments of skeptics, and casual… Continue

Palestinians call for EU to back independence

Palestinians have formally asked the European Union to urge the UN security council to recognise a fully independent state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip in response to the current impasse in peace negotiations with Israel.

Saeb Erakat, the chief Palestinian negotiator, confirmed that the request to the EU was made on Monday as Israeli ministers repeated warnings that any unilateral moves would trigger counter-measures that could include the annexation of more of the occupied West…

Palin in book: McCain aides kept me 'bottled up'

The rumors are true, according to Sarah Palin: The McCain-Palin campaign was not a happy family. In Palin's new memoir, "Going Rogue," she confirms reports of tension between her aides and those of the 2008 Republican presidential candidate, Sen. John McCain. The vice presidential candidate confirms that she had wanted to speak on election night, but was denied the chance and says she was kept "bottled up" from reporters during the campaign.

Palin also writes harshly of CBS anchor…
