An Israeli bomb pummeled a home deep into the ground here on Sunday, killing 11 people, including nine in three generations of a single family, in the deadliest single strike since the latest conflict began.

The School Sucks Project
1. The twelve-year process of an American public education has a dramatic effect on the mind of a child. When we first enter school at age six, many of our best personal attributes are already in place. We are curious, innovative, unique, creative and hopeful in ways that we will rarely be able to replicate throughout the rest of our lives. But over time, school sucks those essential attributes out of too many of us...and replaces them with predictability, obedience and apathy.
2. The public school system sucks off the productive capacity of hard-working people. The system is funded through taxation. In other words, whether public education succeeds or fails (spoiler alert: it fails) at providing real education to the public, the cost goes up every year. There are no refunds.
Trivium
Education
For if you [the rulers] suffer your
people to be ill-educated, and their manners to be corrupted from their
infancy, and then punish them for those crimes to which their first
education disposed them, what else is to be concluded from this, but
that you first make thieves [and outlaws] and then punish them.

Counterinsurgency theory, once celebrated as having pulled Iraq back from the brink, is now in crisis due to its record in Afghanistan. Considering both the contribution of counterinsurgency theory to military thinking and its limitations as a concept, it remains valuable, even if the term "counterinsurgency theory" once again is cast aside. The theory provides not a strategy or campaign plan but rather a collection of insights and principles. The value of the theory depends on what is expected from it. Some insights based on counterinsurgency theory appear commonsensical but nonetheless challenge dominant misconceptions about the nature of war. The lessons of recent counterinsurgency campaigns must therefore be retained for future military interventions—and prompt greater caution among military strategists and policymakers about such undertakings. Careful study and research are needed to determine how best to apply this theory to future operations, and it is fair to say that it is better at raising the right questions than in providing the answers.
Columbia has been in conflict since its creation as a Republic in 1819. In the past 50 years the plan has centered on Marxist insurgencies and the cocaine trade. Each new government plan to deal with these insurgencies has evolved from previous plans, though since the late 1990`s these plans have relied increasingly on U.S. counterinsurgency doctrine. Nearly 80 percent of counterinsurgency funding, all of which came from the United States (which has spent nearly $7 billion in Colombia since 2000), went to the Colombian military and police, while developmental aid from other countries never fully materialized. Peace talks failed, the military moved into the demilitarized zone and the conflict escalated.

During his presidential campaign, Barack Obama criticized the Bush administration for its excessive secrecy, noting that it had ‘invoked a legal tool known as the ’state secrets’ privilege more than any other previous administration to get cases thrown out of civil court.’ Obama also promised to end ‘extraordinary rendition’ …. But last week the Obama administration used the state secrets privilege to block a lawsuit by five former captives who say they were tortured as a result of extraordinary rendition. Although candidate Obama surely would have been outraged, President Obama is for some reason less concerned about abuses of executive power...

John Farnham commented on a link.
Apparently
we can rely on Kevin Schmidt to repeatedly reiterate an obvious slur :
that anyone following the principles of Scientific Method to properly
dispute the idea that a change based on computer math games is immune to
the usual caveat of G.I.G.O.; or Garbage
In = Garbage Out; must of necessity be paid agent of environmental
despoilers. After all, there is absolutely no way to verify that the
whole scenario is not gobbledegook designed to raise an international
energy tax payable to the IPCC.
Note that if the premise were real,
this would result in less money available for adapting to other energy
schemes - if any actually work. Not that there is any shortage of other
people flogging the same trope - a Red Flag that free discussion is
being impeded. Nor do Search Returns seem to cooperate with requests for
dissenting views.
Ahem. You wouldn't consider a trial to be properly run if differing theories were not considered. Conflating allied concerns - environmental despoilation/resource depletion- with a tax scheme known to hinder business and run up charges on unproven schemes while opening up a market for trading in a chimera alleged to be consensus ( that's politics, not science ) and prosecuted for fraudulent trading since 2005 should raise hackles - especially when the economy can't operate under less restrictive terms.
How can one prove a model is properly constructed in the first place...let alone that there is valid technique of extrapolation when results are not available to be checked?
I've followed geopolitics and energy monopolism for a while now. This is very much market related....and the screams of anguish have scarcely started.
I can't deal with the topic properly in comments. Global Research.ca has kept a section on this - and Prof Chussdovsky is both a disbeliever and an intelligence analyst. CFACT is blunt about having corporate connections. Do not believe they have no concern for policies that work. And I continue to post related articles in addition to a file - though much of its content has been lost.http://opitslinkfest.blogspot.com/2010/03/

Beyond the oozone layer
Despite occasional pockets of scepticism, such as Peter Glover's article in BJR late last year, the days when journalists would report on climate change by balancing “pro” and “sceptic” voices, or by knocking the human-induced climate-change argument with prominent coverage of an alternative theory, already seem a distant memory in the UK. This marked change in the treatment of climate change in the British media has helped lay the ground for a dramatic shift in the quality of public debate around the issue.

This article could benefit from some solid research about the
attitudes of the already very diverse Hispano-American/Latino and
Asian-American communities toward race. (Start with the importance of
African and Creole culture TO Latino culture, work your way from there.)
Lotta different Latino communities out there–Puerto Rican immigrants
changing Florida as we speak. Other than throwing out the idea that the
Republicans could try to divide those communities from Black people,
this article goes nowhere. Meanwhile, you’ll have a hard time convincing
anyone that the animating feature of Republicanism isn’t hostility
toward the Other in the first place. No way they get out from under that
anytime soon.
Beyond that, you’re still looking at the world IN black and white, as if the Dems had some kind of monopoloy on virtue, which is tiresome. The fact that Obama helps move this settler colony beyond white supremacy doesn’t change much; he still presides over a racist construct, bombing brown people in Pakistan and North Africa, militarizing North Africa, giving his seal of approval to Israel’s bombing of brown people in Palestine. Doesn’t brings more justice, freedom, or middle class prosperity. On the contrary. . .

IE10 for windows 7 is available
in a preview form. But it will replace your IE9, so before installing it just ensure you know what you are doing. Everything went smooth during installation, but it took like 5-6 minutes to get from black screen to my desktop. Was a bit scary.Overall, it looks just like IE9, only with ugly scrollbars. But not let the view fool you. Under the hood its a friking monster.
http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/Performance/Chalkboard/ - 9 seconds in IE10 (HWA on by default) vs 40 second in Opera (HWA on) vs 500~750 seconds in Chrome and Firefox (HWA off).
Very good rendering of css3, unique font rendering capabilities ( http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/Graphics/OpenType/ ), and responsive interface under js load ( http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/Performance/RoboHornetPro/ ).
JS engine (Chakra) was improved, with full ES5.1 support added, but it still cannot beat V8 (in V8 bench), though it was not a top priority, as we can see. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2012/06/13/advances-in-javascript-performance-in-ie10-and-windows-8.aspx
of course, there is benchmarketing, as always: IE9 has had good audio quality (if you remember Cut the Rope HTML5), IE10 supposedly improves it, which can supposedly seen via (warning: very loud music!)http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/Browser/AudioExplosion/ , but when you go there in Firefox/Opera - you will hear nothing, because... *.ogg file is missing from server ?!
also, there is no spellchecking for some reason (even at IE Test drive: https://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/Browser/SpellChecking/Default.html), but maybe its a bug of win7 preview, or this feature requires win8.
