George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950), Man and Superman (1903) "Maxims for Revolutionists"
You see things; and you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say, "Why not?"
George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950), "Back to Methuselah" (1921), part 1, act 1
Don't let fear convince you that you're too weak to have courage. Fear is the opportunity for courage, not the proof of cowardice.
McCain, John (2004, September). In Search of Courage: Finding the Courage Within You. FastCompany, 51-56.
In the search for character and commitment, we must rid ourselves of our inherited, even cherished biases and prejudices. Character, ability and intelligence are not concentrated in one sex over the other, nor in persons with certain accents or in certain races or in persons holding degrees from some universities over others. When we indulge ourselves in such irrational prejudices, we damage ourselves most of all and ultimately assure ourselves of failure in competition with those more open and less biased.
J. Irwin Miller, Chairman of the Board (1951-1977), Cummins Inc. From 1983 letter about diversity at the company.

HICSS-38 - Information Retrieval and Digital Library Applications. Kutz & Herring
Blogged by John Paolillo
- Kutz, Daniel O. & Herring, Susan C. (Jan., 2005). Micro-Longitudinal Analysis of Web News Updates. In Thirty-eighth Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS-38), Los Alamitos: IEEE Press.
Notes:
News websites have dynamic content.
How dymanic?
Microlongitudinal content analysis: content analysis, but with a really short time scale (every minute). Study used three sites (CNN,BBC, al Jazeera) focused on top news stories, analyzed with a critical linguistic approach. Automated data capture method were used, with one-minute intervals (after initial testing showed two-minute intervals of change, so as to capture all change)
Headline, blurb, image, caption text all captured.
Coding categories
Text: new, update, revision (w/ five subtypes:
clarification, more/less ideology, retraction, repeat)
Images: revision, new, repeat, other
... (because I was focussing on the talk I didn't manage to blog a lot of this, so see Dan's slides if possible) ...
examples
Updates: Kerry in the Dem primaries.
Clarifications: car bomb kills ... tuesday -> yesterday
Ideology: die -> killed, President Putin -> Russian leader, says -> blames
Images: more images with a news story, an easy way to show dynamic activity for a news site.
examples
George bush in a CNN story, updated six times, text updated 3 times in same period.
Most changes are changes in context, but al Jazeera uses a lot of repeats (randomly cycle through 3 images, repeat in a way that BBC and CNN do not).
Top stories do not change frequently; only 1/2 add new info.
Implications for IR: sample in 3 hour intervals in 3 hour intervals, for all detail, look at 2 minute intervals.
Digital documents are dynamic, so editorial process is taking place in the public eye, but this is not necessarily noticed, archives could support understanding of these documents.
Future: look at whole site, and look at weblogs etc.
