Does Common Core Matter? An Excellent Musing by Tom Loveless
The Education Week article below was written in April 2012 by Brookings
Institute member Tom Loveless. In it, Loveless argues why having “common
standards” across states will likely produce no monumental gains for states
adopting Common Core. The piece raises such excellent points that I had to
offer it to my readers. Does the Common Core Matter? By Tom […]

INSIDE THE JEJU JAIL HOUSE
These good people are right now languishing inside the jail house on Jeju
Island, South Korea. And there are more on the way.
Their crime? Trying to non-violently block the construction vehicles from
entering the Navy base "destruction" site in Gangjeong village. In the
case of Yang Yoon-Mo he got an 18 month sentence. And many people are
being given severe fines to pay.
We can't ever forget these good people who are fighting for peace, the
environment, and human rights. See more at the official Jeju web site Save
Jeju Now.
Elsewhere/Housekeeping
My TAP column this week argues that Republicans could have tried out some
of the ideas that conservatives have been pushing if only they had decided
to run their own state exchanges. I'm pretty confident that Democrats,
either in 2009-2010 or later, would have been willing to cut deals to allow
that sort of experimentation on a state level.
Meanwhile, I packed way too much into a short post over at PP yesterday --
including an outline of the filibuster deal I'd like to see (but has no
chance of happening, even though the core of it actually makes sense for

Is Trey Radel Really America's Own Rob Ford?
By 39, most normal people stop using recreational drugs
Both are wealthy, opportunistic right-wing extremists who gravitated to
politics for a myriad of reasons that did not include public service. And
although the demeanor and boorish, loud-mouthed bullying that Rob Ford (and
brother Doug) demonstrate on TV daily, reminds people more of Chris
Christie, it looks like Trey Radel is what we're stuck with. Born wealthy
and privileged, 37 year old Henry Jude Radel III (AKA, Trey) started his

the sad tale of an oil stain, or how i was misled by the internet
Last week, while enjoying a lovely lunch at a restaurant with my mom and my
partner, an oily sauce jumped out of a bowl and splattered on my shirt. All
right, it didn't actually jump out, truth is I can be a clumsy eater. But
the sauce went on my shirt. Ugh.
This wasn't one little dot, which can be annoying enough. This was an
entire collection of splats, re-decorating the front of my shirt. Double
ugh.
Because I was busy with family and friends, I wasn't able to immediately
soak or stain-treat the shirt. It ended up sitting for a couple of days
before I washed it.
When I got home... more »
Politicians On Both Sides Of The Aisle Are Counting On Ignorant Voters
I bet Steve Israel wishes he had never recruited Jennifer Garrison, "the
Sarah Palin of Ohio," to run for Congress as a Democrat in OH-06. Garrison
is extremely conservative-- anti-Choice, anti-environment, virulently
anti-gay, anti-worker, pro-NRA and pro-coal. She doesn't just *sound* like
a typical right-wing Republican, she has a voting record in the state
legislature to demonstrate that. While normal Democrats in Congress are

How to succeed at self-sabotage…
It’s not easy to work against your own happiness. The trick, it seems, is
to really relish being miserable.
Some people act as if they just want to be miserable, and they succeed
remarkably at inviting misery into their lives, even though they get little
apparent benefit from it, since being miserable doesn’t help them find
lovers and friends, get better jobs, make more money, or go on more
interesting vacations. Why do they do this? After perusing the output of
some of the finest brains in the therapy profession, I’ve come to the

JFK50: How to Spot a Spy (Cointelpro Agent)
One way to neutralize a potential activist is to get them to be in a group
that does all the wrong things. Why?
1) The message doesn't get out.
2) A lot of time is wasted
3) The activist is frustrated and discouraged
4) Nothing good is accomplished.
FBI and Police Informers and Infiltrators will infest any group and they
have phoney activist organizations established.
Their purpose is to prevent any real movement for justice or eco-peace from
developing in this country.
Agents come in small, medium or large. They can be of any ethnic
background. They can be male or female.

everything about their presentation implies their authority and expert

Beach Themed Christmas Ornament
One of our favorite family traditions is to gather sand and small shells
every time we go on vacation at a different beach, to make an ornament for
our tree. We love gathering everything while we are on vacation and it is
so much fun to look back on the fun trips we have taken together when we
pull out my mom's Christmas tree every year. They are really simple to
make, we have started labeling them with vinyl with the beach and the year
too, so we don't forget which is which.
You will need:
an ornament, I prefer the plastic ones that come completely apart because
you can use larger... more »
First Choices of Gaia Mother are Embraced at this Moment

*First Choices of Gaia Mother are Embraced at this Moment*
by ÉirePort
First choices of Gaia Mother are embraced at this moment.
All Gaia Ascension grids and expanded portals are moving.
Shifts of grid points are necessary to accommodate increased acceptance of
Higher Dimensionals by hu-manity.
Structures aligned with New Gaia survive the shift; those non-aligned will
be "spun away"... Quickly.

Campaigners Set International Agenda on Autonomous Weapons
The Campaign to Stop Killer Robots secured an important victory last week
when delegates of States Parties to the Convention on Certain Conventional
Weapons (CCW) voted unanimously to take up the issue as part of their work
to oversee the implementation and further development of the 1980 treaty,
which regulates weapons causing inhuman injuries to

Harry Targ : STEM and the Tyranny of the Meme
The
STEM 'crisis' and the 'fear of falling behind' meme.
The tyranny of the meme:
Commies, the arms race, and now STEM
The threats of the United States falling behind some fictional
adversaries is a similar 'meme' to those that have been articulated by
economic, political, and military elites at least since the end of World
War II.

*From Susan O:*
I often start the day by posting a significant event of the day on
Twitter--from Benjamin opening the first subscription library on Nov. 8,
1731 to six-year-old Ruby Bridges integrating William Frantz Public School
in New Orleans in November 1960. Ruby told Robert Coles "I knew I was just
Ruby, just Ruby trying to go to school...the Ruby who had to do it" Today
is November 19, 2013, and let's think about Joe Hill who died by firing

Catch of the Day
I think this properly should go to Noam Scheiber, although he cites another
piece when he says:
Here's why it doesn't matter if Warren or her fundraisers say she's not
running in 16: she cant possibly know herself
We can refine this a bit, I suppose. She certainly might know if she's
running right now, even though she wouldn't know whether she'll still be
running by the Iowa caucuses. And she might want to deny running, even if
that's the case. She also might have some reason to be absolutely certain
that she would never run, even if the thing dropped in her lap.
But for many cand... more »

Collecting Donations For Wal-Mart Employees That Cannot Afford Thanksgiving Dinner?
[image: Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger...]
Michael Snyder
You may find what is happening at one Wal-Mart in Ohio very hard to
believe. At the Wal-mart on Atlantic Boulevard in Canton, Ohio employees
are being asked to donate food items so that other employees that cannot
afford to buy Thanksgiving dinner will be able to enjoy one too. You can
see a photo of the donation bins that has been posted on Twitter right here.
On the one hand, it is commendable that someone at that Wal-Mart is deeply
concerned about the employees that are so poor that they cannot afford to

Gossip TV and a cool family feud!
*TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 2013*
*Let them entertain you:* We don’t know if we’ve even seen such an
undisguised evening of Gossip TV.
Consider:
The featured news report on page 1 of today’s New York Times concerns a
startling event. Essentially, the national Republican Party is refusing to
fill empty seats on our nation’s most important courts.
“Senate Republicans on Monday blocked President Obama’s third consecutive
nominee to the country’s most powerful and prestigious appeals court and
insisted they would not back down, inflaming a bitter debate over a
president’s right to shape t... more »
The Good Jobs Strategy

*But it doesn't have to...* Digby Jones
Jobs in the United States that once featured good pay and decent benefits
in manufacturing, services, and information technology have gone overseas
at full-throttle pace in the past several decades. This has decimated
America’s middle class, and in it’s wake has set off a chain reaction of
problems for the country as a whole.
Restaurants, Car Dealerships, Hotels, and a host of other businesses that
prominently dot the urban landscape of the U.S.A. have understandably
suffered as a re... more »
Insight: Boko Haram, taking to hills, seize slave 'brides'
'In a new development, Boko Haram is abducting Christian women whom it
converts to Islam on pain of death and then forces into "marriage" with
fighters - a tactic that recalls Joseph Kony's Lord's Resistance Army in
the jungles of Uganda.'

Hard Times in Walmartistan
The
only thing more amazing than Walmart holding a Thanksgiving food
drivefor its indigent employees is the fact that they're even allowing
one to be
held at all. Because according to one Walmart propaganda flack,"we
provide
good jobs and unparalleled opportunities for our associates!"
These matchless opportunities include an average hourly wage of $8.80,
even
after many years of toiling away at the giant retailer. Other
opportunities
include the ability to get food stamp assistance and Medicaid on the
taxpayer dime, while the Walton family continues to amass its
own unparalleled we... more »
