The Charter School Takeover Cycle in Memphis Schools
The Gates business plan for Memphis schools requires public school closures

nearly as uninformed as county officials who are doing the Gates dirty work

Legalised Euthanasia for Children Regardless of Age in Belgium: The Actual Law in English
The past few days we have heard the reports of the change made to the
Belgian (permissive, but also restrictive) euthanasia law that makes it
include children of all ages among those who may lawfully receive medical
help to end their lives. For instance here, here, here and here. None,
however, have had access to or quoted any actual English translation of the
new law. Thanks to my colleague Kristof Van Assche at the Vrije

The Bermuda Triangle and the C-119 Disappearance
As most of you know, I spent some time as an Air Force intelligence
officer. I was assigned to the 928th Tactical Airlift Group which was part
of the 440th Tactical Airlift Group which was headquartered at General
Billy Mitchell Field in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. During that time, there was
an intelligence conference held in Milwaukee (and of no importance at all,
it was here, late at night I first saw *ZULU*). The relevance of all this
somewhat personal information will become obvious in a moment.
Now, according to Bermuda Triangle lore (and to Gian Quasar) on June 5,
1965, “a C-119 v... more »
Going French: transport-related emissions in a nuclear/EV environment
One
of the nice things about analyses you can do on the back of an envelope
is that they are easier to understand and lend themselves to settling
issues. It occurred to me that a comparison of US LDV carbon emissions
to the EV-related emissions from a nuclearized grid would be just one of
those things.
First off, gasoline. Motor gasoline forms about 20 pounds of CO2 per
gallon burned. In 2012
Will The Tea Party Adopt The "A Million Dollars/A Million Votes" Plan As Part Of Their Anti-Democracy Platform?
"Money is all over the place." Really? Watch that video from Thursday's
Chris Hayes' MSNBC show above. That's the ugly sound of Republican class
war against American families. That's why there are children who don't have
enough food to eat. That guy in the bow tie and the canary yellow cardigan
could have been reading a script from the days that lead up to the French
Revolution. Admit it, you'd secretly watch him being guillotined if it was
televised. And the accursed Tom Perkins too. He wasn't on Chris' show last
night. But you probably remember him from his whining about how the... more »
Obamacare versus Romneycare
One of the themes that we have all heard over the past few years is that
President Obama's healthcare reform is merely bringing the kind of changes
Massachusetts had under Governor Romney to the nation. If that were really
true, you would think that these national reforms would have minimal impact
on the state of Massachusetts. Well, here is a story from today's Boston
Globe:
About 50,000 health insurance applications, many filed by low-income
Massachusetts residents, have yet to be processed by the state’s troubled
insurance marketplace, officials disclosed Thursday, and it may tak... more »

In general, where an accused is sentenced for separate events, sentences should be consecutive
*R. v Drader, *2014 ABCA 69:
[4] In ascertaining what is a fit sentence, a sentencing
court may make sentences concurrent or consecutive. Particularly where an
accused is being sentenced for a number of offences at the same time, the
principles of totality and proportionality will inform whether sentences
should be consecutive or concurrent. However, as a general principle, where
an accused is sentenced on separate days for completely separate events,
typically the sentences should be consecutive. Otherwise, the result is
that there is no effective sentence for the lat... more »

This retelling of Man in the Iron Mask is just as gripping as the original
story, with lots of character and plot elements of its own. Princess Wilha

birth she has been forced to wear an opal mask, concealing what lays
beneath. The few times she has dared to show anybody her face, they have
been abruptly dismissed from the palace. There are all sorts of rumors
flying around, that her face is deformed, that one look from her can kill,
that one look can heal, but when Princess Wilha looks beneath the mask, all... more »

They Aren't Going To Beg You To Stay (So Don't Quit Unless You Mean It)
One of the things that makes me shake my head in my law practice is when
people tell me that they either quit or discussed possibly quitting, then

contacting me because they're suddenly unemployed.
Many employees think they're indispensable. Whether they've been with the
company a long time, are high-producing sales people, or just know where
the bodies are buried, lots of employees quit or threaten to quit with the
secret belief that their employer can't live without them. That the boss
will beg them to stay.
