+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Jeg har sterk tro på vitenskap, som er et annet navn på
+etterprøvbar kunnskap, som metode for å sikre et velfungerende
+samfunn.  Eller som en fantastisk reklamekampanje i England formulerte
+det, &lt;a href=&quot;http://old.richarddawkins.net/articles/3567&quot;&gt;vitenskap
+flyr deg til månen, religion flyr deg inn i bygninger&lt;/a&gt;.  Men den
+vitenskapelige metode trenger folk med kunnskap, evne og vilje til å
+gjøre sitt beste, og settes under press av et samfunn som ikke akkurat
+belønner slike egenskaper.  Her er noen skremmende og oppmuntrende
+lenker relatert jeg anbefaler alle å lese:&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Since this summer, I have worked in my spare time on a Norwegian &lt;a
+href=&quot;http://www.docbook.org/&quot;&gt;docbook&lt;/a&gt; version of the 2004 book &lt;a
+href=&quot;http://free-culture.cc/&quot;&gt;Free Culture&lt;/a&gt; by Lawrence Lessig.
+The reason is that this book is a great primer on what problems exist
+in the current copyright laws, and I want it to be available also for
+those that are reluctant do read an English book.
+
+When I started, I 
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Dugnad_for___sende_norsk_versjon_av_Free_Culture_til_stortingets_representanter_.html&quot;&gt;called
+for volunteers&lt;/a&gt; to help me, but too few have volunteered so far,
+and progress is a bit slow.  Anyway, today I broken the 70 percent
+mark for the first rough translation.  At the moment, less than 700
+strings (paragraphs, index terms, titles) are left to translate.  With
+my current progress of 10-20 strings per day, it will take a while to
+complete the translation.  This graph show the updated progress:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;img width=&quot;80%&quot; align=&quot;center&quot; src=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/raw/master/progress.png&quot;&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Progress have slowed down lately due to family and work
+commitments.  If you want to help, please get in touch, and check out
+the project files currently available from
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;github&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;If you are curious what the translated book currently look like,
+the updated
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/blob/master/archive/freeculture.nb.pdf?raw=true&quot;&gt;PDF&lt;/a&gt;
+and
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/blob/master/archive/freeculture.nb.epub?raw=true&quot;&gt;EPUB&lt;/a&gt;
+are published on github.  The HTML version is published as well, but
+github hand it out with MIME type text/plain, confusing browsers, so I
+saw no point in linking to that version.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Jeg ble for noen dager siden tipset om en rapport utarbeidet av
+Cabinet Office i England ved navn
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/resource-library/test-learn-adapt-developing-public-policy-randomised-controlled-trials&quot;&gt;Test,
+Learn, Adapt: Developing Public Policy with Randomised Controlled
+Trials&lt;/a&gt;, skrevet av blant annet Ben Goldacre (som jeg først ble
+klar over da han holdt et veldig interessant TED-foredrag med tittel
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://archive.org/details/BenGoldacre_2011G&quot;&gt;Battling bad
+science&lt;/a&gt;).  Rapporten handler om hvordan det offentlige burde bruke
+vitenskaplige metoder i større grad for å finne ut hvilke virkemidler
+som er mest effektive når en skal regulere samfunnet.  Her er et sitat
+fra starten av rapporten:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;blockquote&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) are the best way to determine
+  wheather a policy is working.  They are now used extensively in
+  international development, medicine, and business to identify which
+  policy, drug or sales method is most effective.  They are also at
+  the heart of the Behavioural Insights Team&#39;s methodology.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;However, RCTs are not rutinely used to test the effectiveness of
+  public policy interventions in the UK.  We think they should be.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Her tror jeg også Norge har noe å lære.  Det offentlige bruker mye
+penger på aktiviteter der det ikke er åpenbart (og heller ikke blir
+målt) at den reelle effekten er det en ønsker å oppnå.  Ruters
+elektroniske billettsystem, NAV-reformen, økt bruk av penger på
+politiet og sykehussammenslåinger kommer meg i hug.&lt;/p&gt;
