An Introduction To The Philosophy Of Politics And Economics ...
Tamar Gendler, Department of Philosophy Chair at Yale University, Cognitive Scientist
Who gets what and who says so? These two questions underlie and inform every social arrangement from the resolution of schoolyard squabbles to the meta-structure of human societies.? They are also the basis of political philosophy.? Professor Tamar Gendler uses the work of three titans of the discipline, Thomas Hobbes, John Rawls, and Robert Nozick, as a lens to guide us through the taut debate about the role of government in society, asking "Will we embrace the radical state of nature or will we surrender our freedom to the leviathan of the state?"

Egypt's leading female voice for change warns that revolution is backsliding
Speaking at Tufts University, female Egyptian activist Dalia Ziada accused the Muslim Brotherhood of pursuing anti-democratic policies and said that women needed to be given more power.
Egyptian women shout slogans and beat drums during a protest against the Muslim Brotherhood and Islamic parties in front of the presidential palace in Cairo on October 4. The women were also demonstrating in support of women's rights in the constitution and protesting against issues such as harassment against women and child marriage.

EnlargeYears from now, when scholars and historians debate the beginnings of the uprisings that rocked Egypt and the entire Middle East in 2011, one woman will likely figure prominently:?Dalia Ziada, an ebullient Egyptian woman, civil society activist, and prolific blogger.

The pro-democracy figure warns that the heady optimism that infused Cairo?s Tahrir Square last year is being slowly replaced by fear that the very political forces?that helped sweep long-serving Hosni Mubarak from power are remaking Egyptian society into a rigid, religiously intolerant, patriarchal system.
?What?s happening now is the Muslim Brotherhood is coercing everything,? she said, referring to the once-banned conservative Islamic political group that now dominates Egypt?s parliament and the presidency. ?What I fear is that we will be facing the Muslim Brotherhood?s theocracy with Mubarak?s autocracy.??
Ms. Ziada is one of a growing number of women activists in a movement that some have called ?The Pink Hijab.? The wave of uprisings that roiled politics and upended dictatorships from Tunisia, to Egypt, to Yemen has featured female activists at its forefront in a way that was previously unthinkable in male-dominated Muslim societies. Her work in particular has garnered accolades: Newsweek magazine called her one of the world?s most influential women, while CNN dubbed her one of the Arab world's eight ?Agents of Change."
?I don?t believe our revolution will succeed until one day we will have a woman president. I don?t believe there can be a democracy unless women are properly in power,? she said in a speech at Tufts University?s Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy in Medford, Mass., yesterday.
Ziada?s work predates the Tahrir Square events by several years. She helped translate a comic book about Martin Luther King Jr.?s famous 1955 bus boycott in Alabama into Arabic. She helped organize human rights film festivals in Egypt, smuggling in films about the 2004 Orange Revolution in Ukraine and about female genital circumcision. And through her Cairo-based organization, the Ibn Khaldun Center for Development Studies, she helped train activists and bloggers from across the region.

New web-based model for sharing research datasets could have huge benefits
Friday, October 12, 2012
A group of researchers have proposed creating a new web-based data network to help researchers and policymakers worldwide turn existing knowledge into real-world applications and technologies and improve science and innovation policy.
Researchers around the world have created datasets that, if interlinked with other datasets and made more broadly available could provide the needed foundation for policy and decision makers. But these datasets are spread across countries, scientific disciplines and data providers, and appear in a variety of inconsistent forms.
Writing in the new issue of the journal Science, seven researchers propose a new data network that can help bring this knowledge together and make it available to all.
The benefits to society from such a network are clear, said Bruce Weinberg, co-author of the paper and professor of economics at Ohio State University.
"Such a network could help scientists, policymakers and business people take the knowledge that is now locked in scientific publications and create new technologies and applications," Weinberg said. "This is a key to economic growth."
The purpose of this new model is to make data accessible, said Laurel Haak, co-author of the paper and executive director of ORCID, an international, interdisciplinary, open, and not-for-profit organization formed to provide a registry of unique identifiers for researchers.
"Researchers lament the lack of data sharing. But a new data infrastructure has the potential to overcome that problem and potentially transform research practice itself," Haak said.
In the Science article, the authors say that one key to making this proposed project work is to have a unified set of standards between databases and platforms. One simple example is that databases often have different ways of identifying authors. In one database, an author may be listed as "David A. Smith" while another would list the same person as "D.A. Smith." Other researchers would have no way of knowing if these two records referred to the same author.
"We need a coordination of data exchange standards to make this effort work," said David Baker, co-author and executive director of Consortia Advancing Standards in Research Administration Information (CASRAI), a non-profit standards development organization.
This new data infrastructure must only be a "thin layer" on top of the database structures that already exist, Baker added. "It needs to work seamlessly with the databases and platforms we already have in place. "It shouldn't add another layer of complexity."
One major issue is achieving broad-based participation in this effort, said co-author Gregg Gordon, president and CEO of the Social Science Research Network.
"We need to have participation from researchers in all fields, whether they work in multinational corporations, non-profits, government agencies or universities," Gordon said. "We need all the different players to work together to make this effort successful."
Users of the infrastructure would use the public data and tools at no charge, pay for access to private areas and tools, and apply for access to security-sensitive part of the system.
The authors of the Science paper emphasize that no single organization can manage this infrastructure alone. Governments, non-profits, and for-profits must all collaborate.
They envision a steering committee comprising members of the major data providers, including government agencies, standards organizations, private data vendors as well as the research community.
While a lot of work needs to be done, the researchers say the effort will be worth it.
"The model we propose provides tremendous benefits from combining and mining the vast quantities of data that are already available," the authors conclude.

96% Searching for Sugar Man
All Critics (93) | Top Critics (28) | Fresh (89) | Rotten (4)
The search for a long-lost pop icon has an unexpected payoff.
[A] moving, lyrical account ...
Director Malik Bendjelloul's engaging, cleverly structured documentary about the legendary folk singer Rodriguez is shaped like a mystery.
If you like music, a good mystery or, better yet, a combination of both, you won't be disappointed.
An electrifying illustration of music's power to inspire and change lives on both sides of the footlights.
Submitted for your approval: one Sixto Rodriguez, a Mexican-American singer/songwriter whom Rod Serling would surely embrace, in or out of the Twilight Zone.
One of the most bizarre pop music documentaries ever...a singularly fascinating true-life tale that many of its participants still find difficult to believe.
...it isn't merely the content that makes Searching for Sugar Man so affecting: it's the way that Swedish filmmaker Malik Bendjelloul sets up the story and peels away the mystery of Rodriguez, one layer at time.
A mystery as compelling as any fictional detective story.
The first half of this film is mysterious whereas the second half is wonderfully inspiring. It's proof that truth really is stranger than fiction.
This is a fine documentary; insightful and entertaining with a genteel approach to uncovering a figure so close to the hearts of an unexpected fan base.
A celebration of an artist and the power of art to transcend time and place
Much credit to director Malik Bendjelloul for surprising this cynical and desensitised film watcher.
For those familiar with the story of Rodriguez, this engaging documentary on his substantial success in South Africa will prove both illuminating and bemusing.
I was instantly hooked by this unique documentary...If you are a traveller on the road of life, don't miss this unforgettable treasure of a film
This is not only the best documentary I've seen this year, it's one that shows other documentaries how to do it.
Searching for Sugar Man reminds us that a wise man knows lasting riches are never the result of record sales.
Searching for Sugar Man" is a saga about the power of music, living life on one's own terms and the joy of second chances.
Two fans, Stephen Segerman and Craig Bertholomew, made it their business to find out exactly what happened to the singer Rodriguez. And, "Searching for Sugar Man" is the fruits of their labor. The fruit is tasting pretty sweet.
It starts as a bittersweet parable about the cruelty of commerce, but the wonder of "Searching for Sugar Man" will not soon slip away.
You watch "Searching for Sugar Man" at first fascinated by the mystery - what happened to Rodriguez? Where did he go? Then you become infuriated by its revelations of financial injustice.
An unexpectedly fresh nonfiction tale that rustles up deep feelings of a life stolen -- part docu-mystery, part uplifting valentine about the universality and resonating power of music.
