Anbar Before And After The Awakening Pt. XI General Tariq Dulaimi Fmr Anbar Police Chief
General Tariq Youssef Dulaimi was Anbar’s former provincial police chief.
He originally served as a border guard under Saddam Hussein from the 1980s
to the 1990s. In 1992 he was court martialed and sentenced to death, which
led him to flee the province. He did not return until 2003 when he
re-joined the border police, and went on to the regular police where he
eventually took charge of the entire governorate. Dulaimi became an
opponent of the insurgency, and worked closely with the Anbar Awakening,
while holding a feud with the Iraqi Islamic Party that ran the province.

Winter Storm 'Pax' has already crippled much of the South, snarling traffic
and dumping more snow than most can remember on places that are unarguably
ill-prepared to cope. But, as The Weather Channel warns, *up to 18 more
inches of snow is forecast for the Northeast *as Pax pushes up the East
Coast. With no thaw expected in the South until at least the weekend (and

Another Former KIPP Teacher Steps Forward
Posted at Edushyster:
*A former KIPP teacher in New Orleans finds her voice*
I was never much of a champion [reference to *Teach Like a Champion*, Doug
Lemov's exhausting checklist that serves as a bible for TFA and KIPP], to
be honest. KIPP defines a successful teacher as someone who keeps children
quiet, teaches children how to answer each question on a test composed of
arbitrary questions, and then produces high scores on this test. Mind you,
I was teaching Pre-K and then kindergarten at a KIPP school in New
Orleans—and these were still the metrics by which I was being evaluated.

EU bans "butter spread" in Czechia
Maoist comrade Barroso is celebrating another victory in his Blitzkrieg
against freedom in Europe.
In 1977, a creamery in Liberec, North Bohemia began to produce the
traditional butter spread known as "pomazánkové máslo" which became an
instant hit with the Czechoslovak consumers (although the legend wouldn't
ever spread abroad). Other dairies joined and began to produce it. The
popular product survived the fall of communism, of course.
Let me mention that in the Czech language, "pomazánkové" is an adjective
derived from the noun "pomazánka", a "spread"; "pomazánka" itself is

Has The GOP Cornered The Market On Political Closet Cases? Meet Illinois Gubernatorial Aspirant Dan Rutherford

A year or so ago, I found myself at the fabulous Beverly Hills restaurant

my dining companion was even more famous-- perhaps infamous-- than Andrés

Harper bought with his promise to split incomes. Andrew Jackson writes:

Guest Post - Is Green the New Red this Valentine’s Day?
The history attached to the Day of Love isn’t all romantic, not in the

Roman Priest, St. Valentine, who existed at the time of an unkind emperor,
rightly called ‘Claudius, the Cruel’ who maltreated the church and its
preaching.
Claudius illegalized marriages on the argument that unmarried soldiers
fought better than those who were married, but our hero, St. Valentine, was
against it. He secretly encouraged them to get married because of the

Show Me the (Subsidy) Spreadsheets!
Good Jobs First's new report, *Show Us the Subsidized Jobs*, is its third
assessment of state subsidy transparency, following up on reports published
in 2007 and 2010. The good news is that transparency continues to spread:
From 23 states in 2007 to 37 in 2010 to 47 plus the District of Columbia in
2014.* The bad news is that for most states, online transparency still has
a long way to go.

makes it impossible for the public to get at
even the most basic return on investment,
accountability or equity questions. Which
