The EPA Jumps the Shark, banning...Argon ? (Watt's Up With That ? )
If anyone with any real scientific training whatsoever had seen this silly list before it was published, or had taken the trouble to do 5 minutes of research on each entry in the list, to discover how ridiculous and ignorant the inclusion of Argon on a list of dangerous chemicals to be banned really is, then the EPA would not be facing their current very public embarrassment.
From Anthony: When I first saw this story, I though surely this must be some sort of spoof or misunderstanding that led to this. Sadly, no. The EPA even has a press release about it:

"The Land Of Dreams..."
“Father, O father! what do we here
In this land of unbelief and fear?
The Land of Dreams is better far,
Above the light of the morning star.”

*"Know Thyself"*
by Chet Raymo
"The ancient Greek aphorism, attributed to Socrates and others. Good
advice, I'm sure. If only we knew what it means. Is it the same as the
"examination of conscience" we were asked to perform as young Catholics?
"Bless me, Father, for I have sinned." Well, yes, it is good to ask
ourselves if we have lived up to our highest moral aspirations. But surely
"Know thyself" means more than that.
Does it mean to be aware of our self-awareness? That is to say, not to act
impulsively, but reflectively. Thoreau's "I went to the woods because I

Earlier this month, I asked you about solar power.
The question came up because someone told me that rather than conserve,
they would just add additional solar panels to their home.
So I wanted to know what dedicated "greenies" would do if all of their
power came from the sun.

The Poet: T.S. Eliot, "The Four Quartets"
*"The Four Quartets"*
by T.S. Eliot
"I said to my soul, be still, and wait without hope
For hope would be hope for the wrong thing; wait without love
For love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet faith
But the faith and the love and the hope are all in the waiting.
Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought:
So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing.

The Anatomy of Compromise
It’s supposed to be a virtue to compromise.
Most of the time people say this, they don’t mean compromise: they often
just mean recognising what’s most important, and not losing it to what’s
least important.
Compromise isn’t always wrong though. “A compromise is an adjustment of
conflicting claims by mutual concessions. This means that both parties to a
compromise have some valid claim and some value to offer each other. And
*this* means that both parties agree upon some fundamental principle which
serves as a base for their deal.”1
Simple enough.
But so often compromise sacrif... more »

Why westerners are joining jihadis
It’s been widely noted that recruits to jihad and Islamic State come
overwhelmingly not from the poor and downtrodden struggling under
Middle-East dictatorships, but are often well-fed, well-educated
middle-class citizens who have grown up in western countries – suggesting
something lacking in what these well-fed folk absorbed in their western
education, and maybe what they see from the west’s alleged “leaders.”

Be like the bird which on frail branches balanced
A moment sits and sings;
He feels them tremble, but he sings unshaken,
Knowing he has wings."

Most Americans believe that Russia has attacked Ukraine. This is because the despicable “mainstream” media have reported solely the lies coming out of the White House, totally disregarding what may be the actual truth. At the insistence of President Vladimir Putin, Russia has NOT attacked Ukraine. (If Russia had attacked, its large well equipped and trained army would have won the war in three days.) The truth of the matter is that the U.S. has been financing the corrupt Ukrainian government to attack its Russian-speaking eastern provinces with troops including neo-Nazis bent on exterminating all Russian speakers and Jews. These killers have been shelling Donetsk and Lugansk with heavy artillery and ballistic missiles, killing civilians and destroying vital infrastructure. Still, the militias of these provinces had won the war, leading to a mutually agreed 3-month ceasefire …which has been promptly broken by U.S. puppet Poroshenko. Win or lose, Russian intervention or not, the result will lead to more funding for Washington’s “military-industrial complex.” I urge the reader to click on some of the links in Michael Collins’ important post below.

In Case You Don't See Today's L.A. Times...
This is the full page ad Blue America is running today in *The Times*, a
response to over half a million dollars of garbage ads Sheldon Adelson and
his family and cronies have thrown into CA-33 against Ted Lieu and on
behalf of a random Republican they're running.
If you'd like to help Ted's Get Out The Vote efforts, you can do that here.
If you'd like to help Blue America re-run the ad on Monday... you can do
*that* here. More important than either action-- vote next Tuesday... or
sooner.
U.S. Navy Impressed with New Russian Attack Boat
[image: Project 885 (Severodvinsk) SSGN]One of the U.S. Navy’s top
submarine officers was so impressed with Russia’s new Project 885 nuclear
attack boats that he had a model of K-329 Severodvinsk built for his office.
Rear Adm. Dave Johnson, Naval Sea Systems Command’s (NAVSEA) program
executive officer (PEO) submarines said he had the model of Severodvinsk
placed outside his office in a common area so that he could look at it
every day on his way to his office.

Separate elections in Ukraine speed up the dissolution of the country
The bulk of Ukraine held parliamentary elections on Sunday.
On Wednesday, we still don't know what the final results are. But we're
very close and it seems that six parties will surpass the 5% threshold get
into the Parliament:
1. Yatsenyuk's Scientological People's Front (22+%)
2. Poroshenko-Klitschko Bloc (22-%)
3. Self-Reliance (11%)
4. Opposition Bloc (Party of Regions artifacts) (9.5%)
5. Lyashko's Radical Clown Party (7.5%)
6. Yulia Tymoshenko's Fatherland (5.5%)
First, let me mention that the results differ from the pre-election
estimates in many respects.

Maldacena's fairy-tale on exchange rates, gauge theories, and the Higgs
Juan Maldacena wrote a popular essay on gauge symmetries and their breaking:
The symmetry and simplicity of the laws of physics and the Higgs boson (PDF
).
It's sometimes being said that Einstein's discovery of the special theory
of relativity was helped by Einstein's work with the patents dealing with
the train synchronization. I think that it's not really true (Einstein was
stunned by the apparent contradiction between Maxwell's field theory and
Newtonian mechanics long before he worked with the patents: sorry, Peter
Galison) but it's good enough as a fairy-tale.

Eggplants, Vampires and Us

by mirrors that offer no reflection. People and problems used to keep
popping up like springing targets in an arcade game, needing removal. They
were handy excuses, blames and faults for what was wrong. With me. Each
health crisis, relationship breakdown or financial hardship had different

*"Dust"*

of self, said Einstein. It's the striving, rather than our knowledge -
which is always tentative and partial - that is important.

The Poet: Rainer Maria Rilke, "Do You Remember?"
"Do you remember still the falling stars
that like swift horses through the heavens raced
and suddenly leaped across the hurdles
of our wishes - do you recall?
And we did make so many!
For there were countless numbers of stars:
each time we looked above we were
astounded by the swiftness of their daring play,
while in our hearts we felt safe and secure
watching these brilliant bodies disintegrate,
knowing somehow we had survived their fall."
- Rainer Maria Rilke
"A Journey, Not A Destination..."
"Happiness is a journey, not a destination. For a long time it seemed to me
that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some
obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished
business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. At last it dawned on
me that these obstacles *were* my life. This perspective has helped me to
see there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So treasure every
moment you have and remember that time waits for no one."

"An Exquisite Balance..."
"It seems to me what is called for is an exquisite balance between two
conflicting needs: the most skeptical scrutiny of all hypotheses that are
served up to us and at the same time a great openness to new ideas. If you
are only skeptical, then no new ideas make it through to you. On the other
hand, if you are open to the point of gullibility and have not an ounce of
skeptical sense in you, then you cannot distinguish the useful ideas from
the worthless ones."
