Newspaper Calls Gambling What It Is Not once in this LA Times story (reg req) about Native American casinos' gambling revenues -- and whether the casinos should pay more to the state -- do you find the word "gaming," I'm happy to note. The gambling industry has tried to sanitize what it does by renaming the activity into something that sounds totally benign. And the media usually plays along. Not this time. A tip of the hat to whoever made that decision. From Dan Gillmor's eJournal on April 24, 2004 at 10:47 p.m..

Rockefeller Center: Dartmouth hopes to help N.H., Vt. lawmakers <%image(20040424-rocky center.jpg|150|119.9|null)%> The Associated Press: HANOVER, N.H.

Dr. Brian Lacy, DHMC: How can they eat so much? <%image(20040420-DartmouthHitchcock.jpg|150|120|)%> Palm Beach Post: The human stomach is only about as big as a softball or a small cantaloupe. So how do competitive eaters manage to stuff, say, 17.7 pounds of cow brains (a Takeru Kobayashi world record) into it and not barf (which is against contest rules)? Dr. Brian Lacy, a gastroenterologist at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, speculated to The New York Times that competitive eaters have taught themselves to ignore the signals their stomachs send their brains to tell them they're full.

NS eLearning - Blog Follow-up On Thursday, when I discussed blogs in business at the NS eLearning Summit, I was pleasantly surprised by the high level of interest. The fact that most learning is informal, and that our education and training programs only address about 20% of our learning needs, seems to be understood by many. Blogs are one way of encouraging conversation, which leads to individual knowledge creation and can result in increased business value. Blogs are also a way of supporting more formal learning offerings. They can be used to engage potential clients through meaningful discourse.
