Charlie Rose

Just classic - Charlie's constant interrupting and talking over this woman's key points in this conversation. I wonder if someone would want to count if he is doing this more with women than men (he certainly does it there too, just seems less often.) Tina Brown, obviously a good friend in the elite circles that CR moves in, pressed on and kept going. Yes, it's good and appreciated that CR has coverage of at least this much of issues of (mostly elite) women.

Well Sharks, I found an old friend with my own tastes and optimism:

http://www.ted.com/talks/peter_diamandis_abundance_is_our_future.html

Peter Diamandis a co-founder with Ray Kurzweil of Singularity University (via arrangements with NASA and Ames AF Base I seem to recall) talks of high tech's ecponential growth under Moores Law.

Peter D. uses the term de-monetize to imply abundance that renders what was scarce so abundant it's either free as air or as easily bought as chewing gum.

I wrap this idea up as output-based money or electric money. It uses real money to build and buy water, food, homes, cars, businesses, schools, hospitals, etc., (and, temporarily, non-lethal weapons to track and prevent potential terrorists and soldiers of the Devil or his human partner, from ruining the good the best of us are doing).

In all events, Sharks, this TED thing and Singularity University are signs of the times.

Peter D. talks of 3 billion new minds liberated from poverty and want to supply answers to their own needs and ours too.

The connection of one mind to another, such as language or a motion picture, needs to be improved by Tina Brown type communication skills and audio-visual science to clean our screens of clutter, promote easy focus and recall, and otherwise avoid the mis-use of our tools that fragments all and leads to entropy and the running out of steam that follows too much of too good a thing too fast for too long a time, etc.

Sharks mentions TED

I had never heard of it. Sharks may not have had an earlier opportunity to advertise TED -- but it is certainly an interesting effort Charlie Rose ought to examine (if he has not yet done it.)

Anyway, I do not think the following is unfair to Tina. Not unfair if the whole TED effort is on the up and up. I have no reason to suspect it's not. So please allow me to risk this added info from Wikipedia:

TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) is a global set of conferences owned by the private non-profit Sapling Foundation, formed to disseminate "ideas worth spreading."

TED was founded in 1984 as a one-off event and the conference was held annually from 1990 in Monterey, California. TED's early emphasis was largely technology and design, consistent with a Silicon Valley center of gravity.

The events are now held in Long Beach and Palm Springs in the U.S. and in Europe and Asia, offering live streaming of the talks. They address an increasingly wide range of topics within the research and practice of science and culture.

The speakers are given a maximum of 18 minutes to present their ideas in the most innovative and engaging ways they can. Past presenters include Bill Clinton, Jane Goodall, Malcolm Gladwell, Al Gore, Gordon Brown, Richard Dawkins, Bill Gates, educator Salman Khan, Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, and many Nobel Prize winners.

TED's current curator is the British former computer journalist and magazine publisher Chris Anderson.

From 2005 to 2009, three $100,000 TED Prizes were awarded annually to help its winners realize a chosen wish to change the world. From 2010, in a changed selection process, a single winner is chosen to ensure that TED can maximize its efforts in achieving the winner's wish. Each winner unveils their wish at the main annual conference.

Since June 2006, the talks have been offered for free viewing online, under a Creative Commons license, through TED.com. As of November 2011, over 1,050 talks are available free online.

By January 2009 they had been viewed 50 million times. In June 2011, the viewing figure stood at more than 500 million, reflecting a still growing global audience.

======= end Wikipedia segment ======

Well, I do now remember a smidgen of something or other. And 500 million people far ahead of me know all about it.

Maybe TED Tech Entertainment and Design is not too good a name. TAP Tech Art and Purpose maybe better.

Anyway I'll have to go online and watch some of its shows. Maybe they are 18 minutes each?

Thanks Sharks.

Have they tackled ELECTRIC MONEY?

Extract from Wikipedia on Tina Brown:

[Presented at the Teachable Moment for educational non-commercial purpose in accordance with copyright law, by a ww web forum user to an American audience: Tina Brown (imported from the UK) has earned serious respect among this audience -- many of whom will read the full Wikipedia Entry and learn to love a lady who has served the Western World's modern media universe so well for so long (young as she may be).]

===== Begin Wikipedia Extract =====

THE DAILY BEAST

On October 6, 2008 Brown had teamed up with Barry Diller to launch The Daily Beast, an online news magazine that mixes original journalism with news aggregation. The website's name comes from the fictional newspaper in Evelyn Waugh's 1938 novel Scoop.

The Daily Beast had an immediate impact with an early sensation when Christopher Buckley, son of William F. Buckley, Jr., chose The Daily Beast rather than the magazine his father founded (National Review), to announce he could not support the Republican candidate in the 2008 presidential election: "Sorry, Dad, I'm voting for Obama."

Early recognition of The Daily Beast came in a series of awards: Online Journalism Award 2009 for Online Commentary/Blogging, Christopher Buckley; OMMA Awards 2009 Winner - Politics; Winner - News; MinOnline Top 21 Social Media Superstars 2009 for Tina Brown; MinOnline 2010 Best of the Web Awards: New Site (co-winner); Webby Award nominations for Best Practices and Best News 2009

In August 2010, Time Magazine's review of the 50 Best Websites of 2010 named The Daily Beast among the top five news and information sites. (The Onion at 16, The Guardian at 17, The Daily Beast at 18, National Geographic at 19, and WikiLeaks at 20)

..... “It's just not the caliber of writers flocking to The Daily Beast that is making the site a must-read for any serious news consumer. It's also the willingness of the Beast's editors to slash and sift the day's top headlines so you can quickly digest the most essential elements. As a news site, it's something of a triple threat: a trendsetter, an insightful and analytical clearinghouse of events and ideas, and thanks to the thorough and easy-to-scan Cheat Sheet, quite the time saver.”

The Daily Beast's writers include Christopher Buckley, Peter Beinart, Les Gelb, Mark McKinnon, Meghan McCain, John Avlon, Lucinda Franks, Bruce Riedel, Lloyd Grove, Tunku Varadarajan and Reza Aslan.

In a joint venture with Perseus Book Group, The Daily Beast formed a new imprint, Beast Books, that focuses on publishing timely titles of no more than 50,000 words by Daily Beast writers - first as e-books, and then as paperbacks in as little as four months. The first Beast Book was entitled Wingnuts: How the Lunatic Fringe is Hijacking America by John P. Avlon.

Partnering with Diane von Furstenberg, Vital Voices and the UN Foundation in 2010, The Daily Beast brought some of the world's most inspiring female leaders together at the Hudson Theatre in New York City for the first annual Women in the World Summit. The mission of the three-day summit was to focus on the global challenges facing women, from equal rights and education, to human slavery, literacy and the power of the media and technology to effect change in women's lives. Attendees included Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Meryl Streep, Leymah Gbowee, Sunitha Krishnan, Madeleine Albright, Edna Adan Ismail, Queen Rania of Jordan, Cherie Blair and Valerie Jarrett.

On November 12, 2010 The Daily Beast and Newsweek announced that they would merge their operations in a joint venture to be owned equally by Sidney Harman and IAC/InterActiveCorp. The new entity is to be called The Newsweek Daily Beast Company with Tina Brown as Editor-in-Chief and Stephen Colvin as CEO.

===== END EXTRACT FROM WIKIPEDIA =====

In my opinion Tina Brown talks too fast for old people like me to enjoy her every word. Her beautiful sentences are on air for what seems like microseconds.

In the body of the long Wikipedia entry (of which the above is a small segment) is mention of New Yorker covers that drew me to Tina Brown years ago. Her promotion of David Remnik's fortunes also makes me appreciate her influence. In this interview with Charlie Rose they both mention Masha Gessen who remains on my mind from yesterday and the day before.

I watched yesterday CSPAN's Book TV's hour with Timothy Stanley & Pat Buchanan (who reviewed Stanley's "The Crusader" -- if memory serves). Buchanan was as depressing as a man can be as he declared the West defeated by Muslim babies made in Europe (and from North Africa to the Philippines) by women -- as factories -- for male enemies of the West.

Tina Brown is one of our warriors against these abusers of women and murderers of ordinary people.

Rather than depress us, she lifts us up to meet the challenge of our own self-inflicted wounds and political mistakes. We have allowed the University of Chicago (and the entire Washington Consensus) to de-industrialize the USA, as Buchanan charges.

But it may be the likes of Tina that helps us to rally our forces, renew our faith in Keynes, and get back to work remaking the world in Lincoln's model of governance -- of, by and for the people, (via full employment and full appreciation of clear thinking and decent purpose.)

One thing CSPAN's coverage of lawmaking, and Charlie Rose' coverage of the next big thing proves to me, is the need for an engineering diagrammatic visual aids approach to complex legal, economic and political decisions.

Pure talk and text is not up to the job of fundamental reform -- IF we would move away from casino crony capitalism toward Keynesian potentials to provide the means to enforce the Golden Rule and reach excellence, as well:

.....to satisfy, that is, the Tina Brown's, Masha Gessen's and Ada Lovelace's of the Western World.

"Newsweek was in freefall" Tina Brown

This just goes to show ya that you should never give a job to Meecham that a woman can do better.

As "Sales are up 20% at Newsweek" Tina Brown

And Woman are NOT Beasts!!! They are delghtfull creatures of light and joy...

Hillary really is a GREAT LITTLE ORGANZIER, but after watching her last appearence on Charlies show last April...mmmm she is limited in her ability to make absract connections and be able to draw conclusions from them....that is until a man (DR K) made it allright for her. From there she got the clever idea to use the abstract concept that was being discussed of "The Arc Of History" in her 5/9/11 speech to the Chinese as they have a long view of history and could understand and appreciate the comment.

One can learn a lot from watching The Charlie Rose Show...

TEDx did this summit thing a few months ago:

TEDxWomen -- hosted by Pat Mitchell -- is a one-day bi-coastal event taking place on December 1, 2011 at the Paley Center in New York and Los Angeles.

TEDxWomen will live stream from the Paley Centers in New York and Los Angeles to the global TEDx community.

Organizers of TEDxWomen events will watch the livestream of TEDxWomen, and have the opportunity to host local speakers on women's issues.

TEDxWomen will continue the conversation and strengthen the 100+ communities that TEDWomen brought together, working alongside the TEDx team to re-connect these communities of TEDx events around the world.

Charlie, your question about Newsweek's merger with "The Daily Beast" hit a nerve.

She kept interrupting you as if she was covering something up by fast talking her way through it.

Milady, methinks ye run thy tongue too fast when Charles asks ye a difficult question.

I have never read The Daily Beast, tho I have been directed there by search engines a few times. (Not VERY many times.) A creature of the '80s and '90s, this Murdoch-clone has been pandering her entire life. Newsweek might consider running pictures of naked men on the inside page, assuming they haven't decided to economize on staples, as well.
