"Given the Treasury's cash burn rate of *$3-4 billion per calendar day*, the U.S. Treasury will have 50-75* days of cash when the debt ceiling clock starts ticking again on March 15.

Taiwan News Latest: DPP on Drugs, don't worry, be happy
*Net fishing on Lanyu* *“They wanted to have a good time, but they were like children playing in the street; they could see one after another of them being killed--run over, maimed, destroyed--but they continued to play anyhow.” * Taiwan's anti-drug regime has a dual nature: it is absolutely brutal, yet has a strong rehabilitative element.

WikiLeaks: CIA May be Hacking Cars to Murder People

And now, with some of the rogue agency's hacking tools and methods available on cyberspace, any common criminal with some computer knowledge might be able to do so as well. It remains unclear whether the CIA, which brags about its mass murder, has actually murdered anyone by hacking their car. But reasonable suspicions about the possibility have bee... more »

What Ending Regulations on ESSA Will Mean
Yesterday, Diane Ravitch had this bit of news at her blog: . . . .The Senate also voted to roll back an Obama administration rule to “hold schools accountable,” which passed by only 50-49, over vociferous Democratic opposition. Frankly, I don’t know which rule this is. If it was the Obama-Duncan-King test-based accountability, then I think its repeal or elimination is a step forward. As we saw again and again over the past eight years, the Obama Department of Education had an obsessive devotion to test-based accountability that harmed students, teachers, and schools.

Summary of Victor Frankl on “Tragic Optimism”
Viktor Emil Frankl M.D., PhD. (1905 – 1997) was an Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist as well as a Holocaust survivor. Frankl was the founder of logotherapy, a form of Existential Analysis, and the best-selling author of Man’s Search for Meaning, which has sold over 12 million copies. According to a survey conducted by the Library of Congress and the Book-of-the-Month Club, it is one of “the ten most influential books in America.” (I have taught out of the book in many universities classes, and it is one of my favorite books. I have summarized it here.)

Philip Eckhoff, Senior Director of Research at the Institute for Disease Modeling, explains what is involved in total global eradication of malaria and how interdisciplinary collaboration is the key to out-thinking and out-maneuvering this disease.

Is Afghanistan Now President Trump's War?
*New York Times editorial:* *Afghanistan Is Now Trump’s War* Before the White House responds to the Pentagon’s latest request for a troop surge in Afghanistan to counter insurgent forces that now control substantial parts of the country, it would serve administration officials well to examine the long history of deluded thinking about what could be accomplished if the United States committed more troops to the effort.

TEFLON DON? ON THE RIGHT, IF THE REPEAL EFFORT FAILS, TRUMP MAY EMERGE UNSCATHED

Ryan Moves To Castrate The Freedom Caucus
The ad above is running on TV stations in Boise, Coeur d'Alene, Moscow and Lewiston in western Idaho, aimed directly at Raul Labrador's voters in the hope of pressuring him to back Ryan's ACA repeal proposal. Similar ads are running against 29 other far right Republicans from the Freedom Caucus. These are the targets: So far the American Action Network (AAN) has put half a million dollars into the program. Remember Nixon's Jew-hunter Fred Malek? AAN is the Republican SuperPAC he founded but Malek doesn't set the policies and tactical goals of the group and neither does the new... more »
Underestimating Unemployment - An FOMC Pastime Since 2007
Every quarter, the Federal Reserve's Open Market Committee releases its economic prognostications for the U.S. economy, looking ahead at the predicted changes in GDP growth, unemployment rate and both PCE and core PCE inflation. These economic projections are provided to help those of us that are mere mortals get a sense of where the economy is headed and, in particular, the direction that the Federal Reserve's braintrust is expected to take to keep the economy firing on all cylinders.

Selection of climate model survivors isn't the scientific method
I was surprised that several TRF readers (Marthe, Abbyyorker, John Moore, and perhaps others) don't understand why the methodology keeping "ensembles of inequivalent models" that have survived some tests isn't science i.e. why Scott Adams is right in the recommendation #1 to climate fearmongers. On Monday, Scott Adams actually dedicated a special blog post exactly to this problem. He wrote that when some media promote an old paper from the 1980s that apparently made rather accurate predictions of the climate for the following decades, it doesn't mean anything because it was one paper... more »

Ancient humans arrived in South America in multiple waves
At least we know that there was more than one. The pacific coastal route surely happened once and as early as possible. After that a real population stood in the way and were not so easily passed through over thousands of miles. We also know that population also came in from the European coast as soon as Clovis times and may well be related as well. A wave of big game hunters arose abruptly in the Americas and this could simply have represented a technology transfer that then expressed itself as the larger Clovis point. All this show primitive adaptation to the ocean openi... more »
Indonesian president hands over management of forests to indigenous people
[image: Andi Buyung Saputra, Kajang leader, left, receiving the title from President Joko Widodo.] This is an excellent move in the right direction that gets us away from outright short term exploitation which merely destroys the underlying capital base.

Life on Earth is used to gravity – so what happens to our cells and tissues in space?
Andy Tay, Ph.D. Student in Bioengineering, University of California, Los Angeles at Science + Technology – The Conversation - 22 hours ago
Look ma, no gravity! NASA , CC BY There’s one force whose effects are so deeply entrenched in our everyday lives that we probably don’t think much about it at all: gravity. Gravity is the force that causes attraction between masses. It’s why when you drop a pen, it falls to the ground. But because gravitational force is proportional to the mass of the object, only large objects like planets create tangible attractions. This is why the study of gravity traditionally focused on massive objects like planets. Our first manned space missions, however, completely changed how we thought a... more »
