  1. from Al Jazeera

    1:22am US senators John McCain (Republican) and Joe Lieberman (Independent) are just back from a trip across the Middle East and North Africa, and are calling on President Obama to lead the way in imposing a no-fly zone over Libya.



    Finally, on their visit to Tunisia, the senators said everyone asked them if they could get Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of social networking site Facebook, to visit.

    “He was the most popular man in Tunisia,” said McCain.

  2. And another, and another… from Danny Schechter

    First, many of those who might be charged with financial crimes and fraud invested in lobbying and political donations to insure that tough regulations and enforcement were neutered before the housing bubble they promoted took off.

    After hundreds of bankers were jailed in the wake of the Savings and Loan crisis, financial fraudsters pushed for weakened regulations, guaranteeing that their colleagues wouldn’t be jailed in when the next crisis hit.

    In effect, their deregulation strategy also deliberately “decriminalised” the environment to make sure that practices that led to high profits and low accountability would be permissible and permitted. What was once illegal soon became “legal”.

  3. from The New York Times

    The Intel Science Talent Search is considered the nation’s most elite and demanding high school research competition, attracting the crГЁme de la milk-fats-encased-in-a-phospholipid-and-protein-membrane of aspiring young scientists. Victors and near-victors in the 69-year-old contest have gone on to win seven Nobel Prizes in physics or chemistry, two Fields Medals in mathematics, a half-dozen National Medals in science and technology, a long string of MacArthur Foundation “genius” grants – and now, an Academy Award for best actress in a leading role.

  4. from Exhaustive Search (Matt Blaze)

    Some time in January, the IEEE apparently quietly revised its copyright policy to explicitly forbid us authors from sharing the “final” versions of our papers on the web, now reserving that privilege to themselves (available to all comers, for the right price).



    To be fair to IEEE, the ACM’s official policy is at least as bad.



    These once great organizations, which exist, remember, to promote the exchange and advancement of scientific knowledge, have taken a terribly wrong turn in putting their own profits over science. The directors and publication board members of societies that adopt such policies have allowed a tunnel vision of purpose to sell out the interests of their members. To hell with them.

    1. Maybe they brought them?

      Later, I have a good feeling, we might get to see an extremely sunny day and an extremely cloudy day on the same day. Within ten minutes of each other!

      Fox News: Where integrity matters.

      1. Madison was famous for:-)

        I loved my time in Madison.

        Was in the UW-Madison sailing club and spent many hours out on the beautiful lakes.

    1. I found his dissenting statement the reason for shutting up these asshats.

      Well then, since CS cannisters hurt, and affect an area rather than an individual AND leave no lasting damage, I believe this decision clears the way for me use them on Westboro’s next funeral appearance…  

    1. .

      yesterday’s map quiz was cake compared to this.  I got what a monkey could have got choosing randomly, 5 out of 10.

      Maybe Mr. Estevez should be running Libya ?

      .

      .

  5. and it was an amazing day of just the Veteran peer advisors telling the SAMPHSA reps what works, and what we need to do next.

    Tomorrow is the full session with everyone, and I’m hoping that some of the stuff we do in Colorado can transfer to all the other states in the grant.

    The bad part of this is I’m discovered what a cheap-ass BASTARD Colorado is compared to the rest of the US when it comes to Veteran programs and benefits. More than once I got these incredulous looks from the other reps, accompanied by “You mean Colorado doesn’t have THAT program for vets?”

    Guv Hick, you promised on the campaign trail…time to deliver!

    1. No way.

      See, in Colorado we say we value our vets and their service.  But by the time they are vets, they have already served.  Nothing we do now can undo their motivation to serve in the past.

      So why should?

  6. .

    Maybe this isn’t working ?

    http://www.voanews.com/english

    … counterinsurgency measures in Afghanistan are not working and peace talks need to start between the U.S. and its allies and the Taliban.

    What did Einstein say about insanity ?  Should we try something different ?

    And how come Members of Parliament are so much smarter than Members of Congress ?  Is it something in the water ?

    .

  7. Who is in?  Dennis Berckfelt?  Any one else besides the two candidates already announced?  Paula will support someone but it won’t be either of the two announced.

    This changes things in the Denver muni elections
