Health insurers to fat kids: Go play
Dance Dance Revolution 04/04/2005 01:18 PM
Cory Doctorow: American health insurers are working with obesity researchers to encourage children to play Dance Dance Revolution on home consoles with dance-mats as a way of reversing childhood obesity and the concomitant health costs later in life.

Jones is one of 85 children in an at-home study trying the popular Dance Dance Revolution video game to boost their activity. The study is being done by West Virginia's public employees insurance group in hopes it will lead to better health and lower costs.

Jones lost about 10 pounds by changing his diet. Now, after two weeks playing the game, he has lost another 10.

Al-Qaeda tells Madrid: 'We will defeat all the infidels'
11 March 2005

DUBAI- Al-Qaeda's frontman in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, vowed to defeat "infidels and apostates" in response to a Madrid conference on terrorism.

"We tell the infidels and apostates, the enemies of God: whatever you do, you will be defeated. God promised us victory," read the statement from the Organization of Al-Qaeda of Jihad in the Land of Two Rivers, in a statement published on the Internet.

The authenticity of the statement could not be verified.

"How many times will the infidels and apostates meet to fight against Islam and combat the Jihad... They have other worries than to fight the Muslims and mistreat them," it said.

On the other hand...

Hong Kong's Threatened Speech

Hong Kong's Threatened Speech 06/03/2004 12:13 PM

The Chinese authorities are mocking their promises of "one country, two systems," a promise they made when they got Hong Kong back from the British in 1997. As William Woo notes in this opinion piece today, four prominent talk show hots have gone off the air. Woo writes:

For the social, economic and political elites of Hong Kong, Albert Cheng's show may not have been required listening. But for them press freedom is important. One by one, the canaries in the coal mine are going silent. On this anniversary of Tiananmen Square, Hong Kong deludes itself if it imagines that it need not be concerned.

The concern there is real. I recently had an email from a friend I met while teaching in Hong Kong each fall for the past five years. He is a proud citizen of China and Hong Kong, and thought the Beijing government had meant what it said in the handover. He now fears the worst may occur. I hope China's rulers won't be that stupid. They have the power to do this. But they do not have anything like the moral authority. As they loosen their socialist economic grip on the mainland, they inevitably will have to allow genuine self-rule to emerge. Breaking promises but making Hong Kong a non-free city will not help China, but it could wreck Hong Kong, and show the world that Beijing's words are as hollow as its critics have said all along. This is a test for China. Right now, it's failing.
