Distance Doctoring, Distance Nursing And
Distance Learning... All Coming Back
05/12/2004 03:58 AMThe internet makes it easier to communicate with people over large
distances, and for years we've been hearing about the power of
"distance" everything. More recently, some of that talk had died down
after the early promises of distance learning/doctoring/whatever
failed to live up to its early hype. However, it appears that the
distance concept is coming back into fashion. One after the other, we
just came across three such stories. First, is the news of a hospital
in Michigan that is using a
robot with a video screen for a head to let remote doctors talk
to and examine patients. The doctor's can control the robot from
another location (such as home) in order to look over a patient
without being there in person. Of course, the idea isn't to replace
the need for the doctor to be present, but to make it easier in
situations when the doctor is away and is needed quickly (such as to
look over something in the middle of the night when they're home).
Meanwhile, over in the Netherlands, it's not the doctors who get to
stay home, but the patients, who can now use a
webc
am system to communicate with nurses. The idea is to help out the
elderly who are confined to their homes but can't afford to have a
healthcare worker visiting them on a regular basis. Meanwhile,
outside of the healthcare field it appears that even
e-learning is making a comeback, as companies are using it more
strategically, to help keep employees up-to-date and trained - but not
relying on it as a full replacement for training programs. No matter
what, it looks like another bunch of concepts discredited during the
boom and bust years are now making a comeback.

Distance Learning For Suspended Students
Distance Learning For Suspended Students
01/05/2004 04:56 AMI've never fully understood the point of suspending students. Getting
them out of the classroom is something of a
reward for many
students - and it also ends up harming them in that they can fall
behind in their lessons. So, now, some schools are testing an
alternative for suspended students:
making them watch the lessons they're missing via a
webcam from an in-school suspension room stocked with computers.
This seems like a good idea, though, I'm sure many of the students
don't bother to watch the webcam and figure out other ways of goofing
off. At the same time, some are concerned that having webcams in
classrooms can lead to misuse - such as administrators secretly
watching what's happening. Assuming the system is set up properly,
and the teachers are clearly informed that it's there, I don't see why
this should be a problem.

distance learning without any guide or guidance. The guide that Marcus
has produced would have made my learning experience so much faster and
less frustrating. As an ambassador to my University, I will recommend
this guide to the Education and Distance Learning Deans, for their
students to use as a resource. Amazing information!"

Efficient CSS
Efficient CSS
09/02/2004 05:33 PMHere's a
nice article on writing more efficient CSS using shorthand
properties, and reducing the number of duplicated style rules.
One of the touted benefits of CSS is that it reduces total page
weight, and thus download time, both at first page load, and even more
on subsequent loads due to style sheet caching. This is true, but
often a sizable fraction of the first load savings is lost because of
highly redundant CSS code.
The author lists the smaller stylesheet as the (marginal) benefit
of taking the extra time to write efficient stylesheets, but in my
experience, the bigger benefit is making things easier to change. If
you want to change your site's color scheme, it's easier if the color
rules are in as few places as possible.

Efficient Market Hypothesis for Dating?
Efficient Market Hypothesis for Dating?
04/17/2005 03:36 PMA friend trained in economics, let's call her
"Polly", was over to the house for dinner last night. She
asked if we knew anyone for a twentysomething friend of
hers, let's call him "Bunbury", who worked a demanding software
management job at a big software company. He was a "really nice
guy" and she was perplexed that he couldn't find someone. If
someone at the table had said "there is a company traded on the NYSE
that is really undervalued" she would have immediately hammered him
with an explanation of the Efficient Market Hypothesis:
"An 'efficient' market
is defined as a market where there are large numbers of rational,
profit-maximizers actively competing, with each trying to predict
future market values of individual securities, and where important
current information is almost freely available to all participants. In
an efficient market, competition among the many intelligent
participants leads to a situation where, at any point in time, actual
prices of individual securities already reflect the effects of
information based both on events that have already occurred and on
events which, as of now, the market expects to take place in the
future. In other words, in an efficient market at any point in time
the actual price of a security will be a good estimate of its
intrinsic value."
(see http
://www.princeton.edu/~ceps/workingpapers/91malkiel.pdf and http://www.investorhome.com
/emh.htm). Why then was Polly convinced that her friend was
such a catch? Applied to romance, the Efficient Market
Hypothesis says that if the guy were actually worth dating one of the
millions of women who live within a 30-mile radius of his house would
have figured it out.
It occurred to me that all of the really nice mature easygoing
people that I know are married.If one looks carefully at a
single person it is usually not hard to find an explanation for why
they are not happily paired. One might be able to find an
exception in an isolated fishing community in Alaska but
in a major metro area within the Lower 48 it seems
improbable.
What about Bunbury? Polly says that he is smart but
presumably all of his intelligence and cleverness is expended at his
80-hour/week job, which in any case is best described as "sits at a
desk and types at a computer". What's left over for a potential
partner is part of a paycheck. If she wants to marry a paycheck,
there are plenty of medical doctors and Wall Street guys who make a
lot more than Bunbury.

Efficient Techniques for Modifying Large

04/22/2004 01:20 AMAs XML has become popular as a representation format for large sources
of information, developers have begun to have problems with editing
large XML files. This is especially true for applications that process
large log files and need to constantly append information to these
files. The most straightforward way to edit an XML file is to load it
into an XmlDocument, modify the document in memory and then save it
back to disk. However, doing so means that the entire XML document has
to be loaded in memory, which may be infeasible depending on the size
of the document and the memory requirements of the application.
