But, despite many attempts to prove that over the years, the evidence is elusive. Most studies of it were poorly controlled and in the better ones only the tiniest effects are ever found -- too tiny to be the basis for any generalizations. I have been pointing that out for years as I have looked at the various studies in the area. My most recent critique is here * One day, in the not-so-far future, the Earth will be hotter. I... more »
They'll Get Alot Nastier
John Ibbitson warns his readers that Ottawa and Queens Park are about to embark on a battle royal: One of Mr. Ford’s first acts as Premier was to scrap his Liberal predecessor’s cap-and-trade carbon tax. In response, Mr. Trudeau is vowing to impose a carbon tax on Ontario and Saskatchewan (which also opposes the tax) on Jan. 1. Where we live, the Ford government has cancelled a wind farm, which was years in the approval process. The project has been underway for over a year now. Local people are working there and they will lose their jobs. The president of the company building ... more »

*University of Kansas flies defaced American flag on campus (on purpose!)* Todd Starnes Patriots in the Heartland are furious after the University of Kansas raised a defaced American flag on campus. And it was intentional. The flag, defaced with what looks like black paints and the incongruous image of a sock, is part of an art installation hosted by the Spencer Museum of Art called, “Pledges of Allegiance.” One of my readers passed along photos of the red, white, blue and black flag flapping in the breeze.

THE ART OF SELF-AGGRANDIZEMENT
As I type this, Mara Liasson is on NPR saying that President Trump's impromptu news conference in Brussels this morning is the president finally "taking yes for an answer." In Brussels he'd suggested that he might pull out of NATO, but now he was saying positive things about NATO. Trump is claiming credit for a defense spending increase that NATO had already agreed to before he was elected (although it might now take place slightly faster than planned). This is really the Art of the Deal -- Trump makes a lot of very hostile noises, violating all the normal rules of decorum, and the... more »

Child sexual abuse under cover of the education system?
I was astounded to read this article by a blogger calling herself "Autistic Momma". Our story begins 3 years ago when our 6th child was born. The changes caused our then 7 year old autistic child to experience anxiety and frustration. He began biting his hands as a way to cope. We documented each bite and the school was aware. We implemented in home services and within 2 months the biting stopped. We thought this was the end of the story but we would later realize that it was only the beginning. Fast forward 3 years, our 3 year old autistic son starts preschool in the same school ... more »
Too Personalized
Personalized learning is the hot new idea in education reform, but some versions could get a little too personal. While personalized learning is a broad and ill-defined field these days, many folks want to harness computer power to match students up with perfectly suited educational materials.

*Kavanaugh* The corrupt, progressive, sly, lying elite media is pushing its minions on every single issue put forward by President Trump. There is no picking battles.

Must A Human Be An Ape? The Ultimate Problem of Self-Classification
*How humans came to descend from apes* The Oxford English Dictionaries define ‘human’ in three ways, which are listed in the following order: (1) whatever distinguishes people from God, animals and machines; (2) whenever people behave in a highly desirable fashion; (3) whoever is a member of the genus Homo. These are really quite different definitions. The first has the greatest conceptual clarity, but its clarity is limited to the realm of the conceptual. Making that definition work in practice is diabolical. The second is unclear in both theory and practice. However, it taps into... more »

This needs to become a general public health priority. After years of tracking best practice, it is clear to myself that we all need to consume 2,000 mg of vitamin D and 5,000 mg of vitamin C.

The separation of migrant families: cruelty as a migration policy
12-Jul-2018 In an accentuated anti-immigrant context of clear criminalization of Central Americans and Mexicans without migratory documents in their attempt to enter the US, measures on the separation of thousands of families (most of them from Central America) are the new face of the racist nationalism of the American government and its current president. This is framed within the various discriminatory strategies (such as deportations and the expansion of the border wall) with a view to "containing" and "eradicating" irregular migration from the south.
