Cover of Power to ChangeEntanglement and networks of wormholes
The newly realized relationship between the geometric connections in the
spacetime and the standard quantum entanglement has been the topic of
exciting papers in recent years. One aspect of the papers that have been
written down so far made them simple and too special: the entangled systems
were always pretty much pairs of degrees of freedom and the wormhole
correspondingly looked bipartite, like a cylindrical tunnel connecting two
pretty much identical throats at the ends.

Guest Post: Marianne Williamson
I was heartbroken that so many of my friends-- almost entirely male--
refused to even *consider* Marianne Williamson in her congressional bid. It
wasn't even entirely sexist, since some of them were willing to consider
the entirely conventional political hack Wendy Greuel. Instead it has to do
with Marianne's spiritual perspective, which I found not entirely unlike
Martin Luther King's or Mahatma Gandhi's spiritual perspectives. I've
talked with Marianne about it, as have other people who noticed the same
reaction. She wrote about it today:

Natural Bug Spray--Tested and Approved by Me!

The Fall of Mosul: A Catalyst For Constructive Solutions or Civil War?
The fall of Mosul to the terrorist group known as ISIS came as a surprise
to people within Iraq and outside the country. It is all very confusing.
How could an organization that has had trouble battling for small cities
and villages in the Kurdish areas of northeastern Syria take control of
Iraq's second largest city so easily and swiftly? I've read reports from
local people on Twitter that these terrorists were actually retreating to
Mosul from northern Syria, so were they attacking the city from a position
of strength or desperation?
And why did the Iraqi military not even put u... more »

Why Defeat of the Common Core Would Represent a Major Victory for Education

ignoring poverty, so Common Core or local core--who cares.

Why don't the police have access to weapons adequate to deal with such a

Crazy Right-Wing Extremists
So, two crazy people shot and killed some cops in Las Vegas. They see the
police as an oppressive force, bullying people on behalf of corrupt elites. Some
other guy in Georgia was convicted under some bullshit drug laws for a
small amount of marijuna and because of that, the state *was *coming to
take his guns away. So he went to the local courthouse with some guns to
take some hostages, but it didn't work out like he planned. There's lots of

Islamic State Of Iraq Launches Battle of Ninewa In Mosul

The day after the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) launched a
raid upon Salahaddin’s Samarra on June 5, 2014 it began a similar attack
upon Mosul in Ninewa that started on June 6 and continues to the present.
ISIS has dubbed it the "Battle of Ninewa". This time it wasn’t clear
whether fighters entered the city from the outside as happened in Samarra

China's missing metal collateral mystery continues ( June 10 , 2014 ) ...... Takeaway -- The troubles at Qingdao, which as noted is merely the 3rd largest Chinese port, have now spread to a second Chinese port: Penglai, which is also located in the Shandong province. Putting some size numbers for context: Qingdao's copper inventory is about 50,000 tons, compared to 800,000 tons in Shanghai, analysts say. There's "little evidence" for now that traders in Shanghai fraudulently have pledged collateral to banks, said Sijin Cheng, an analyst with Barclays Research in Singapore. Little evidence will become "lots" in the coming days when we expect more "discoveries" at all other bonded warehouses as the relentless inflow of commodities finally reverses and the beneficiaries finally demand possession. As everyone who has followed even the simplest Ponzi schemes knows, this is the part of the lifecycle when many tears are shed by most.

memo to ruth graham: readers who try to shame other readers should be embarrassed by their narrow-mindedness
Ruth Graham, writing in Slate, says, "You should feel embarrassed when what
you're reading was written for children." How sad. If anyone should feel
embarrassed, it's Graham. She apparently writes this commentary without
realizing how narrow-minded, outdated, and ignorant it makes her appear.
Then again, what can we expect from a person who describes a love scene by
saying a young man "deflowers" his girlfriend? Perhaps Graham hasn't
noticed, but in the 21st Century, women are not passive objects; their
first sexual experience is not imagined as a loss of innocence and
delicacy. Haz... more »
And, FFS, Mark Easton...
And if all that isn't enough, please give the latest blog-post from Lucy
Manning's opposite number at the BBC, Mark Easton.
In it, Mark demonstrates the complete lack of impartiality for which many a
top BBC reporter is known (in certain circles).
Mark echoes his colleagues on the BBC's *News at Six* by openly downplaying
the concerns about hardline Muslim infiltration and intimidation in
Birmingham's schools.
He then equates the kind of Muslim 'conservatism' that ITV described
tonight - i.e. the sort of thing that has prompted the government to sent
in an 'anti-terror chief' - w... more »

Post # 25,000: Fyodor Dostoevsky, “The Dream of a Ridiculous Man”
*“The Dream of a Ridiculous Man”*
by Fyodor Dostoevsky
"For I have seen the truth; I have seen and I know that people can be
beautiful and happy without losing the power of living on earth. I will not
and cannot believe that evil is the normal condition of mankind. And it is
just this faith of mine that they laugh at. But how can I help believing
it? I have seen the truth- it is not as though I had invented it with my
mind, I have seen it, seen it, and the living image of it has filled my
soul for ever. I have seen it in such full perfection that I cannot believe
that it is imposs... more »

Just Another "nonmanic" Monday,
Not one day in Costa Rica is manic! But I do like that song.........
Today, I slept in a little and then went on our run. I lucked out and did
not have the sun beating on me even though I ran later than usual. Whoot.
It is a lot easier running in the heat with no sun. The sun kicks my ass
in the runs.
Made Kurt French toast today with homemade vanilla honey syrup and
bananas. Him and the pugs enjoyed it. I think him and the pugs are
enjoying all the homemade food! Trying to buy nothing packaged, which is
why I made my own syrup today.
Went into town to get paint today. ... more »
Wes Neuman's First Try To Replace John Mica-- A Guest Post
2012 saw a big drop off in votes for President Obama in central Florida's
7th district. In 2008 the R+4 district gave Obama 49% of its vote
(164,563). In 2012 that dropped to 155,489 (47%). The Tea Party "Democrat"
in the 2012 race against GOP incumbent John Mica, Jason Kendall, only
managed 41% (130,509). Mica out-performed Romney by around 13,000 votes,
while 25,000 Obama voters refused to vote for Kendall. This year FL-07,

Is The Seattle "Shooting" A Hoax? Great Videos From Pt1gard Exposes It As A Fraud!
We have just seen the Jew spew mainstream media go hog wild over the latest
"shooting" in Las Vegas Nevada. It does seem that now on a weekly basis
we are seeing these shootings take place across America, and of course we
find all the liars in the media and many government officials shortly after
each shooting calling for gun control legislation across America as a
result.
I have yet to sift through all of the evidence to determine if the latest
shooting in Las Vegas is authentic, but for this article I want to present
some very strong evidence courtesy of my friend, Greg, who i... more »

The Poet: Anne Sexton, "Courage"
*"Courage"*
"It is in the small things we see it.
The child's first step,
as awesome as an earthquake.
The first time you rode a bike,
wallowing up the sidewalk.
The first spanking when your heart
went on a journey all alone.
When they called you crybaby
or poor or fatty or crazy
and made you into an alien,
you drank their acid
and concealed it.
Later,
if you faced the death of bombs and bullets
you did not do it with a banner,
you did it with only a hat to
cover your heart.
You did not fondle the weakness inside you
though it was there.
Your courage was a small coal

“Dark Night of the Soul: Surrendering the Ego”
*“Dark Night of the Soul: Surrendering the Ego”*
by Madisyn Taylor, The DailyOM
"While we are in a dark night of the soul experience, hold steady knowing
the light will appear once again. Whenever a word is overused, it is most
likely being misused, and over time, it begins to lose its meaningfulness.
For example, we often refer to a fleeting feeling of depression or a period
of confusion, as a dark night of the soul, but neither of these things
qualifies as such. A dark night of the soul is a very specific experience
that some people encounter on their spiritual journeys. There are... more »

“As upright primates, the sky is half of our visual field, but we give it
only a tiny fraction of our attention. Food, drink, sex and shelter are all
to be found close to the ground. What goes on above our heads is mostly
irrelevant.
Here in Ireland the sky is much more than half our visual field; we
couldn't ignore it if we wanted to. Our cottage is perched on a hill above
Dingle Bay, and beyond the garden wall the land slopes to the sea, as if

Vegan Recipe - Amazing Legume: LentilsBy Marcy Gaston

I’m very happy to contribute a recipe to her blog and share some yummy
vegan goodness with all of her readers. So, today’s recipe and post are

want everyone to get to know them, too. My colleagues (fellow gra... more »

Another LOUSY Non-Believable False Flag: The Las Vegas Shooting False Flag
It looks like they've stepped up the FALSE FLAG's to the tune of about one
per week in the past few weeks. The latest is the LAS VEGAS FALSE FLAG. As
with all the false flags, they have a formula to instantly raise suspicion.
The NSA should be disbanded, because if this "official story" were true,
we're spending MILLIONS & MILLIONS of taxpayer dollars supporting an agency

what we think.

The US Hurricane Drought in USA Today
I have an op-ed in USA Today tomorrow on the ongoing US "hurricane
drought." Here is how it starts:
In 1933, Richard Gray, a U.S. government weather forecaster, noted that
Florida had been hit by at least 37 hurricanes over the 45 years ending in
1930. During this period, the longest stretch with no tropical storms was
only two years.
When the 2014 hurricane season officially began on June 1, the Sunshine
State had gone more than eight years without being struck by a hurricane.
It was back on Oct. 24, 2005, when Hurricane Wilma emerged from the Gulf of
Mexico and caused billions o... more »

ARE THE ISRAELIS TRYING TO PROVOKE A THIRD INTIFADA?
The increased frequency of killings by Israeli occupation forces of
Palestinians in both the Gaza Strip and the West Bank coupled with the
testimony of Israeli soldiers who are beginning to speak out about Israeli
operations in the occupied territories seems to confirm that Israel is
attempting to deliberately provoke the Palestinians into launch a third
Intifada in order to provide Israel with a *casus belli* to fully occupy
the West Bank with the long term aim of annexation.

Throwing Stones At ALEC
Corporate people who live insulated from the masses should be careful when
they throw stones at ALEC--the stones can bounce back and bite them in the
ass.
There is a certain level of hypocrisy that the public will not accept -
even from non-profit corporations. Non-profit corporations can't spend
their time throwing stones at ALEC to increase their funding, but then turn
around and partner with ALEC when it suits their fancy. Non-profit
corporations can't spend their time throwing stones at ALEC to increase
their funding, at the same time that they are supporting various ALEC

The difference between tax planning and tax avoidance: one simple test
Over at Tax Research UK, Richard Murphy offers a simple test to distinguish
between tax planning and tax avoidance. As he told a journalist, "That is
easy. It's getting legal opinion."
With tax planning, Murphy says, you decrease your tax risk. "There are
obvious examples: paying money into a pension, for example, does not create
tax risk, and nor does putting money into an ISA [a UK individual savings
account, which is similar to an IRA but more flexible] within allowed
limits."
By contrast, "Tax avoidance, on the other hand always, and without
exception, increases your tax risk."... more »
