Almost Christmas

Libby Spencer at The Impolitic - 8 minutes ago
I'm still alive. Just really busy with real life this week. And it's almost Christmas so time for some music. Possibly the best rendition of this Christmas carol ever by my friend Mike Finnigan.

Diamonds and the Apartheid States

Paul Coker at News Spike - 19 minutes ago
Disclaimer: I do not endorse Murray Rothbard, or his ecconomic theories - however, his analysis of the history of the Rhodes-Round Table Commodity Cartel of DeBeers and other German, Belgian and Dutch Zionists in the Colonial conquest, occupation, exploitation and neocolonial reconquest of Africa beginning with the Cape Colony in this case is valuable. I would also like to further make the point that American and European Jews of both an Orthodox and Hassidic background in particular have been admirably and disproportionately courageous in their criticism and condemnation of the Z... more »

Sunday Classics preview: The gala Sunday Classics "Nutcracker (The Whole Deal)" returns AGAIN (one last time!)

KenInNY at DownWithTyranny! - 33 minutes ago
*You'd want to think twice before bidding on this record. The ABC Command label tells you it's one of the inferior later pressings; you want an original gold-label issue. (Note: Unfortunately, last year's preview-opening video clip of the Nutcracker Suite segment of Walt Disney's Fantasia has disappeared -- not entirely surprisingly, I guess. To be honest, I don't like it much anyway.)* *by Ken* As far back as the mind recalls, Sunday Classics has celebrated the holiday musically at least in part with music from Tchaikovsky's ballets, and two years ago I went whole hog and offered ... more »

Ralph McGehee

Paul Coker at News Spike - 35 minutes ago
"The CIA is not now nor has it ever been a central intelligence agency. It is the covert action arm of the President's foreign policy advisers. In that capacity it overthrows or supports foreign governments while reporting "intelligence" justifying those activities. It shapes its intelligence, even in such critical areas as Soviet nuclear weapon capability, to support presidential policy. Disinformation is a large part of its covert action responsibility, and the American people are the primary target audience of its lies."

Whose Side Are You On?

thwap at thwap's schoolyard - 1 hour ago
Do you stand with the victims or with the aggressors? Do you stand with the tortured or the torturers? Do you stand with the oppressed or with the oppressors? Do you stand with the raped or the rapists? Do you stand with the weak or with the strong? Do you stand with the poor or with the rich? It's amazing how many "conservative" bloggers stand on the wrong side of things, isn't it?

Really? "Duck Dynasty" isn't a ripoff of beloved cartoon ducks like Donald and Daffy?

KenInNY at DownWithTyranny! - 3 hours ago
*Jumpin' Jehosophat! I thought maybe it wasDaffy Duck who said those terrible things.* *by Ken* As God is my witness, I though Duck Dynasty was a cartoon show, and I'm not thinking of live-action animation. No, I thought it was, like, a ripoff of some our classic cartoon ducks, like maybe Daffy -- that would have fit the story, wouldn't it? Or more properly, when you think about a "duck dynasty," who would you think of but our Donald and his Uncle Scrooge and his mischievous nephews Huey, Louie, and Dewey?

The Worst People in the World - by Hunter S. Thompson

Paul Coker at News Spike - 3 hours ago
*The Worst People in the World * *Memo to my editor:* It was the morning after Election Day when I finally made the decision to apply for the journalist-in-space program. I stayed up all night and drove down to the post office at dawn to pick up the official application form. There was only one press seat, according to the people at NASA, and the competition would definitely be fierce. Walter Cronkite was the natural choice, they said, but he was far too old for the weight training and his objectivity was suspect. Ten years ago, or more, Walter had taken a profoundly personal in... more »

Drones, Cheap Tablets, The Cloud, Robots and Publishing!

Martyn Daniels at Brave New World - 3 hours ago
This month we have read of the $38 tablet, Amazon’s statements on the potential use of Drone technology to delivery local parcels and the growth of stuff that is now and predicted to be connected to the Internet. Some would suggest that these are interesting but don’t apply to their world, others would suggest that they are part of the relentless march of technology which is now promising so much, whilst threatening so much at the same time. *Drones* Drones have started to revolutionise warfare in the same way that communications did before them.

No one believes him about Wright, Duffy, etc. EVEN IF Harper was by some miracle of time-space and multiverses kept in the dark then his leadership is an epic fail. As has been pointed out all over the internets, pretty much all the players in this are Harper picks. His people, his fault. His survival strategy seems to be one of both distancing himself and playing the hapless victim. Aw, muffin

Saudi-Sized Cracks In The 9/11 Wall Of Silence - Demand President Obama declassify The Congressional Report on 9/11 so that every American who wants to learn the facts can do so

So now might be a good time to ponder whether anyone will want to visit it. If he cared about revivifying his brief reputation as a good-guy outsider ready to shine light on the hidden recesses of our governing apparatus (remember his election-night victory speech that brought tears and rare hope to America?), Obama could certainly start at this l... more »

Is My Noncompete Enforceable If I'm Fired Without Cause? Don't assume your non-competition obligations end when you're fired

Donna Ballman at Screw You Guys, I'm Going Home - 16 hours ago
Wow! When I wrote an article on *How Do I Get Out Of My Noncompete Agreement?*, I found out that AOL Jobs readers have lots of questions about noncompetes, and I don't blame you. I get people in my law practice asking me questions on non-competition agreements every week. That's because most people don't even realize they've signed something saying they can't work for a competitor for a year or two after they left, or they thought (wrongly) that a non-competition provision couldn't be enforced. I'm going to answer some reader questions This week, I answer a reader question: Is My N... more »

Who Controls the Table Wins

P. L. Thomas at Schools Matter - 18 hours ago
NOTE: The current education reform agenda focusing primarily on Common Core remains to be a failure of leadership. Public school teachers, public schools, and public school students are little more than collateral damage in the battle to see who can out-standard and out-test and out-rigor whom. Professional organizations, unions, and political leadership are fighting for a place at the table—not securing the sort of future public schools should offer all children in the U.S. ----- In her discussion of science fiction (SF), Margaret Atwood examines and confronts the nuances among SF... more »

Edward Witten: what every quantum physicist should know about string theory

*...those who don't want to become string theorists...* If you have 83 spare minutes, here is a July 2013 talk at Princeton's IAS by Edward Witten: The title was "Feynman diagrams in string theory" and the talk was presented during the "LHC physics" program. Edward Witten wouldn't get to "funny" things like the central charges and critical dimensions but he would get far enough. The beginning is about the ordinary point-like-particle-based Feynman diagrams. He leads you to think about the (Euclidean signature) propagators in terms of the Schwinger parameters.
