George Osborne to the EU: Change or Britain will leave
Lynsey at The Coming Crisis - 4 minutes ago
The Chancellor made the threat despite saying that he wants Britain to
remain a member of the EU.
David Cameron is preparing to give a major speech about Britain’s future in
Europe, which could pave the way for a referendum on EU membership.
Some Conservatives say Britain should leave the EU if other members do not
agree to much looser membership.
Mr Osborne issued his threat to EU members in an interview with the German
Die Welt newspaper published today.

France Urges Citizens to Leave Mali

France is urging its citizens to leave Mali amid reports of escalating

Reports out of Mali's capital, Bamako, say the Malian army has launched an

captured on Thursday.
Details on the operation are sketchy but witnesses reported seeing
helicopters and planes landing late Thursday in the nearby city of Mopti.

Last year, 1082 more Americans were killed by drunk drivers than by gun owners, yet that is precisely what people like Piers Morgan and Joe Biden are calling for; collective punishment on all gun owners for the crimes of a tiny minority of SSRI-addled shooters.
Barbara Diamond at American Scofflaw - 8 minutes ago
Nobody calls for taking cars away from all drivers for the crimes of a
minority. Everyone recognizes that the cars are not the cause of drunk
driving. There is a drug involved, alcohol, that impairs the brain. And it
is already illegal for anyone to operate a car while on that drug.
So why do people like Piers Morgan want to take all guns away from
law-abiding citizens, and steadfastly refuse to address the fact that at
least 90% of the crimes involved people either on or withdrawing from
prescription anti-depressants? If alcohol, not the cars, cause drunk

Lack of deal with Iran on nuclear talks alarms Russia
Lynsey at The Coming Crisis - 11 minutes ago
Russia expressed alarm on Friday that no date or venue had been agreed for
a new round of talks between global powers and Iran over Tehran's nuclear
programme.
Iran, which denies Western accusations it is seeking to develop a
capability to make nuclear weapons, said last week it had agreed to resume
talks in January with six powers.
But Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said on Friday there was
no final agreement on when or where a meeting would take place.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Wednesday she expected talks on a

Cyprus, whose economic woes stem from its banks' heavy exposure to
crisis-racked Greece, requested financial help from the European Union and
the International Monetary Fund last June. It is not yet clear when the aid

The term 'Earth-like' has seen a lot of use in the past couple of years, as
various telescopes locate more and more planets orbiting other stars, but a new
discovery announced at the 221st American Astronomical Society meeting
truly deserves the title.
This newly-discovered world is only 1.5 times the size of Earth (a
so-called 'super-Earth'), its year is 242 days long, and it orbits within

The move to all-computer testing = start of a boondoggle
skrashen at Schools Matter - 9 hours ago
Sent to the Los Angeles Daily News, January 10
The move to all-computer testing (“State schools chief proposes replacing
paper Scantron tests with computer-based ones,” January 8) is the start of
a huge boondoggle. After every student is connected, the set-up will be
declared obsolete and need to be upgraded or replaced. The schools will
cheerfully pay up, eager for the "newest" technology, and computer
companies will cheerfully accept their money.
I have nothing against private enterprise making an honest profit for
providing a needed service or useful product. But in this case th... more »

10 January 2013 (The Kansas City Star) – The overwhelming number of

Scientists have long warned that man-made greenhouse gases are heating up

When will testing fever end?

“Testing group picks ‘college readiness’ exam” (January 9) announces yet

When will this end?
Because there is no evidence that adding more tests helps students, and
plenty of evidence that increased testing will be very profitable for those
who sell the tests and supply the infrastructure for the required on-line
testing, the obvious answer is that testing fever will end only when the
greed of the standardized-testing-industrial-complex is satisfied.

Kierkegaard was when he wrote it- thirty. The young philosopher was
