However, it was so cold that I fired up our wood-burning fire. Around midday, I went out and sat on a garden bench which was in full sun and felt the warmth warming my body. Beautif... more »

In other words, at a crucial moment, Bernanke and company did not summon the courage to act. For serious students of macroeconomic history, a must read.

Intermittent Fasting Fad May Increase Diabetes Risk

News Staff at Science 2.0 blogs - 10 hours ago
Intermittent fasting - fasting every other day - is guaranteed to lose weight in the short term, because it's a crash diet. But like lots of other fad diets, the people selling books about it are basing their speculation on animal models and an unrealistic amount of optimism. In biological reality, intermittent fasting impairs the action of sugar-regulating hormone, insulin, which may increase diabetes risk. Findings presented in the spring at at the European Society of Endocrinology annual meeting, suggest that fasting-based diets may be associated with long-term health risks an... more »

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secret... more »

We need the 'Natural Guard'

Bruce K. Gagnon at Organizing Notes - 11 hours ago
If we are going to survive the ravages of climate change then all the world's militaries must be converted to do things like this. It is our primary hope for survival of the future generations. The military carbon bootprint is the biggest contributor to global warming. Years ago at the time of the signing of the Kyoto Protocols in 1997 (Bill Clinton's time as president) the US refused to sign the accords unless the Pentagon's contribution to climate change was excluded and kept as a state secret. In 2005 (during the reign of George W. Bush) the protocols became active. Since th... more »
