Community Analytics (CA): April 2010
http://communityanalyticsca.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Meaningful Metrics for a Smart Society. Thursday, April 29, 2010. Rating agencies . a big part of the rotten core financial system. I have not had much nice to say about credit card companies and the "credit bureau" world since that time. They have adopted technology and use it to "profit" and the concept of "service" has been eliminated. What am I missing? Econamici . an observation about their dialog. I was alerted to this essay, and think it is worth sharing. My thinking is increasingly diverging ...

http://communityanalyticsca.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Meaningful Metrics for a Smart Society. Tuesday, November 30, 2010. Responsibility . high crime . firing police! Thanksgiving is over . Christmas is coming . and so is the end of the year. Budgets have to be balanced in most States and Cities around America . and this means firing workers. With ridiculous situations like the one in Newark, it is no surprise that the economy of the United States remains in trouble with very high unemployment. How is your community doing?

http://communityanalyticsca.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Meaningful Metrics for a Smart Society. Monday, May 31, 2010. Sustainability . an inadequate idea! What is sustainability . is it really something that should be a top talking point, or is there something better that would help clarify what is important in socio-economic performance. Clearly there are some aspects of society that are not "sustainable" especially in the long run . but as Keynes is reported to have said "In the long run, we are dead! Value analysis . vanalysis . includes some of th...Are s...

Tr-Ac-Net on Health: Incredible science ... terrible economics
http://tracnetonhealth.blogspot.com/2008/03/incredible-science-terrible-economics.html

The Tr-Ac-Net Agenda: The new aid giants (6)
http://tracnetagenda.blogspot.com/2007/12/new-aid-giants-6.html
Setting the stage so that we know how relief and development resources are used. Thursday, December 6, 2007. The new aid giants (6). But not everyone was of the same view. People sometimes think that my talk about focus on using money the right way means that I am against fund flows for assistance. Far from it . I just want to see fund flows doing some good rather than merely being used to support an industry that now has high overhead and not much to show for it. In New York . 2002. The new aid giants.
