Futurist Update -- News & Previews from the World Future Society
From: NewsTrove.com
"A new meeting-management project called M4 (Multi-Modal Meeting Manager)
will use information technology to automatically record and analyze what everyone says at meetings. Decisions and the discussions and presentations leading to them will be archived and structured so that users can browse and query the meeting minutes.
The meeting attendees all wear lapel microphones, and the room houses an array of devices to record the meeting: closed-circuit television cameras that can track the gestures of the attendees, computers with natural-language speech recognition, and a mouse and keyboard monitor to track computer presentations."
State fund dries up; cities look to locals
From: NewsTrove.com
"Taxpayers could wind up paying the price - one way or another - if state lawmakers decide to eliminate a pot of money set aside for cities and townships.
Efforts by the Ohio Legislature to sew up a $3 billion-plus hole in the budget are starting to put a strain on some local governments. Three years ago, lawmakers froze the amount of money jurisdictions received from the state's local government fund - a pool of cash used to help cities and townships pay for basic services.
The freeze has forced some government officials to cut key services or come to taxpayers for more money."
Tech for prompt tax collection - Deccan Herald
From: NewsTrove.com
"A familiar Indian experience is to walk on unnamed streets and live in homes whose exact addresses one cannot write down without an 'opposite this' or 'behind that'. But a lesser known fact is that these inconveniences hide massive property tax collection holes. Property taxes are the single largest source of revenue for municipalities and yet, our administrations' inability to precisely identify and track thousands of properties and streets in our growing cities has in part caused revenue losses from the tens to hundreds of crore rupees per city per year.
Dig deeper and other revenue holes come up."
Letters to the Editor: Readers weigh in on local and national races
From: NewsTrove.com
"I was shocked to hear John Kerry accuse his comrades of committing war atrocities. What's worse, he didn't offer proof. Instead, he passed on hearsay. I don't know which is worse: to accuse your comrades of committing war crimes without proof or to spread hearsay about supposed crimes while testifying under oath.
I don't hear Kerry defend his 1971 testimony. If those acts took place, the perpetrators must be brought to justice.
Wouldn't we have heard something to confirm those accusations by now? Why hasn't Kerry pursued the issue? I'll tell you why. Kerry was spreading rumors.
His integrity and credibility are in question."
Is Peru becoming hostile to mining?
From: NewsTrove.com
"NEW YORK (Mineweb.com) -- The Andean nations are in turmoil again and that's potentially bad news for mining investment, both current and planned, especially in the most mining friendly country in the group - Peru.
After Chile's progressive reforms through the 1980s and '90s spilled over, albeit unevenly, to its northern neighbours, it seemed that decades of stalled progress was potentially coming to an end along the mountainous spine from Bolivia to Venezuela.
Yet we've recently had coups in Bolivia and Venezuela, and both countries are sabre rattling about disputed territory in Chile's hands."
