Paul Wolfowitz on his Aspirations at the World Bank
"There's a long, long way to go but I would find nothing more satisfying
than, at the end of my tenure at this institution, to feel that we have played
a part in what hopefully could be a period when Africa went from being a
continent of despair, to a continent of hope." Paul Wolfowitz said in a press release commemorating his first day as the
10th president of the World Bank.
Question - Why are there no African Groups in Bob Geldof's Live 8 gig? Seems very odd to me.

Here is an interesting site for those wanting to learn more about how
Weblogs can be used in incredible ways in Education. The following
gives a bit of the flavour:
"I had an absolutely great time during my online session on RSS with the Webheads this morning. There were over 20 people from Europe, Asia, South and North America, and the Middle East that participated. The Elluminate Live software over at Learning Times
is incredibly easy to use and really powerful for presentations like
this. I was able to run some slides, take them on Web surfs, and
narrate the whole thing as I went. I know they recorded it.
What was really interesting was the talking to an audience
without seeing an audience part. It was almost like doing a somewhat
interactive podcast.

Blogs are giving departments, staff and students the
freedom and informality of tone impossible in scholarly journals or
even the student newspaper.
Blogging lecturers say the technology provides them with
easy online web access to students and improves communication outside
of the classroom.
