Pack your baby food, pack your diapers, and pack your stroller?
Now you can, with the GB Pockit — one of the newest strollers on the

War Criminal Tony Blair Sorry for Iraq War
Via: Independent: Tony Blair has made apologies about aspects of the
Iraq War for the first time and has said there are ‘elements of truth’
in the theory that the invasion helped feed the rise of the so-called
Islamic State (Isis). In an television interview with the US network
CNN, the former British Prime Minister […]
Here's how you can help Hurricane Patricia victims in Mexico
During the aftermath of a natural disaster, it's natural to ask what
you can do to help.

you're not put out of pocket by that fact.That thought sprung to mind
again today because both From Our Own Correspondent on Radio 4 and

@ the chalk face
Watch administration twist themselves in knots.
One of the cheapest and least effective interventions in struggling
public schools is to require teachers to hang very specific items on
their walls. From a teaching standpoint, these interventions do nothing
for students, especially in the early elementary grades when students
can neither read nor process most of the mandatory items hanging on
walls. […]
There’s a lot of hang-wringing on #ewateachers.
Education writers are wringing hands, clutching pearls, lately over the
standards of their own writing/coverage. Of all the items discussed by
the folks who cover education, are there any conversations about the
very obvious flaw in education writing? That is, most education writing,
the vast majority based on my experience, doesn’t report the actual
experiences […]

Teachers, beware of the “specialists.”
No, I’m not talking about the art, music, and PE teachers, who are, in
my experience, typically referred to as teaching the “specials.” I’m not
even talking about the special education teams. I’m referring to the
other “specialists,” your behavior specialists, reading specialists,
intervention specialists, and even your “deans.” Staff members not
attached to classrooms […]
A Different Perspective
Kepler's Discovery of an Alien Civilization?
Back around 1960 Frank Drake proposed an idea to search for alien
civilizations by looking for their radio signals. He thought that any
technological society would have developed some form of electromagnetic
communication, and any technologically advanced society would realize
that the best place to announce their existence was in a specific range
of frequencies known then as “the waterhole.” Drak
Chester Barton and Roswell
It seems that we keep coming back to some of the same tired questions.
No matter what is presented in the way of testimony, it seems that
someone has an objection Chester Barton in 1947.to it. Lately it has
been the idea that all the witnesses were contaminated by the publicity
surrounding the Roswell case. Even when I was the first to talk with a
witness, the comment seems to be that they had hea
The Next Not Roswell Slides Chapter
One of the reasons that the posts here appear on an irregular basis is
that I wait for some sort of inspiration to hit. I had put up the post
on the size of the debris field with the idea to do the same with
descriptions of the debris, or which officers said what about the crash
and the like. Rich Reynolds also chastised me for not answering his
question about UFO movies and I wanted to do somethi

Adam Rickitt - I Breathe Again
I'm blaming Howie of Howie's Corner fame. T'other day he posted a
Dannii Minogue track to the Book of Face that, much to my shame, I was
quite into at the time. That got me thinking and remembering the
occasions over the last 20 years where artists, and I use that term
advisedly, who are naff, awful, and (ugh) mainstream who nevertheless
made credible interventions into the dance scene. At least t
Tory Tax Credit Stupidity
It's proven to be the closest shave of Dave's second term and would
have thrown the government into chaos had the ayes won it. Tonight's
vote in the Commons, brought before the House by Labour, saw the noes
(i.e. keep the cuts to working tax credits) win by 317 to 295 - a tiny
sliver of a margin. This is despite Tory luminaries like Boris Johnson
weighing in against the cuts, and Heidi Allen - new
Quick Notes on Lord Warner's Resignation
Baron Norman Warner. Who he? I can't be the only politico who scratched
their head as news came through that Lord Warner resigned the Labour

His Royal Blairness in 1998 after years as a career civil servant. He

The Conservative Indifference to Steel
It was like the crashing of dominoes, except the toppling was done by
livelihoods, supply chains, ways of life. First, SSI in Redcar announced
it was going belly up. And after toing and froing with the government,
once it was clear state aid wasn't forthcoming it was as if Britain's
steel bosses huddled together and decided the time was right for job
losses. 2,200 are going in Redcar. Tata are she

Yes, every kind of weapon, if used against noncombatants, can violate
the humanitarian laws of warfare. But nuclear detonations add a whole
new scale to this problem. A single mushroom cloud, except under highly
particular circumstances, will violate the humanitarian laws of warfare.
And, if a single detonation triggers more detonations and all Hell
