The “Dear Colleague” letter, the brainchild of the ACLU and other far-left activist groups, states that, under Title IX, it is the responsibility of institutions of higher education “to take immediate and effective steps to end sexual harassment and sexual violence” on campuses. The letter makes clear that, should an institution fail to fulfill its newly contrived responsibilities under Title IX, the Department of Education can i... more »
"9/11 Destroyed America"
*"9/11 Destroyed America"* by Paul Craig Roberts The events on September 11, 2001, changed the world. It was the excuse for the US government to launch military attacks on seven Middle Eastern countries, causing civilian casualties in the millions and sending waves of Muslim refugees into the Western world. The US government wasted trillions of dollars destroying countries and murdering women and children, while public infrastructure in the US deteriorated, Americans’ homes were foreclosed, and American health needs went unattended. 9/11 was also the excuse for the destruction of t... more »
WHAT DID THE TRUMP WHISPERERS WHISPER?

Trump told a gathering of around 20 conservative media reporters Monday evening that he would be willing to return to the wall funding issue in September, according to two people who were in the room.

Making robots that can work with their hands
Taskin Padir, Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Northeastern University at Science + Technology – The Conversation - 1 day ago
A NASA Valkyrie robot picks up an item with its hand. Northeastern University, CC BY-NC It’s quite common for humans – especially those who work in manufacturing – to tie a knot, strip the casing off a cable, insert a pin in a hole or use a hand tool such as a drill. They may seem like simple tasks, but are really very complex and involve extremely fine finger and hand motions. Though robots are getting more and more involved in factory work and in a wide range of other types of jobs – including in the service industry and health care – their dexterity is not nearly as impressive. ... more »
How statistical thinking should shape the courtroom
Daniel J. Denis, Associate Professor of Quantitative Psychology, The University of Montana at Science + Technology – The Conversation - 1 day ago
Courtroom decisions are more like a game of chance than you may think. Cropped from aerust/flickr, CC BY The probabilistic revolution first kicked off in the 1600s, when gamblers realized that estimating the likelihood of an event could give them an edge in games of chance. Today, statistics has become the dominant way to communicate scientific findings. But courts can be hesitant to incorporate statistical evidence into decisions. Indeed, they have historically been antagonistic toward probabilities and are loath to be swindled by slippery statistics. However, as an educator of s... more »
"The Mystery of the 'Golden Ratio' Explained"
*"The Mystery of the 'Golden Ratio' Explained"* by Richard Merritt "DURHAM, N.C. - The Egyptians supposedly used it to guide the construction the Pyramids. The architecture of ancient Athens is thought to have been based on it. Fictional Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon tried to unravel its mysteries in the novel "The Da Vinci Code." "It" is the golden ratio, a geometric proportion that has been theorized to be the most aesthetically pleasing to the eye and has been the root of countless mysteries over the centuries.

Chet Raymo, “On Saying ‘I Don't Know’"
*“On Saying ‘I Don't Know’"* by Chet Raymo "When Charles and Emma Darwin bought the house that would be their family home for forty years, at Downe, sixteen miles south of London, one of Charles' first improvements was to have the flints removed from the property's chalky meadow. The glassy stones were more than an agricultural nuisance; they were a puzzle to be solved. The countryside about Downe is pretty much pure chalk, and Darwin was confident he knew where the chalk came from: the calcerous deposits of the myriad planktonic organisms that lived in a sea that was once superinc... more »
"A Truth Deeper Than Experience..."
"There's a truth deeper than experience. It's beyond what we see, or even what we feel. It's an order of truth that separates the profound from the merely clever, and the reality from the perception. We're helpless, usually, in the face of it; and the cost of knowing it, like the cost of knowing love, is sometimes greater than any heart would willingly pay. It doesn't always help us to love the world, but it does prevent us from hating the world. And the only way to know that truth is to share it, from heart to heart, just as Prabhakar told it to me, just as I'm telling it to you n... more »

Over a decade after he left the Bush administration as the Defense Department’s number-two official, Paul Wolfowitz has mostly avoided the limelight. Rather than sign #NeverTrump letters or spout off every week on cable television, he’s tended to quietly influence the foreign-policy debate from his perch as a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute—a think tank full of former Bush officials, which often served as a loyal opposition to the Obama administration.

MEDIAFAIL: Taiwanese are not "ethnic Chinese"
[image: Namaxia_63] *Housing for aboriginal people.* One of the ways the foreign media serves Beijing is by recapitulating its propaganda frameworks -- in this case, that the Taiwanese are "Chinese" and there is no such thing as "Taiwanese". This claim is a standard claim of those who would annex Taiwan to China. Indeed, China's claim on Arunachal Pradesh in India is supported by official claims that the area's Tibetan people are "Chinese" and thus the region is "China". Local media worker Ralph Jennings is one of the chief purveyors of this nonsense. See for example, this transcend... more »

Does cooperating with ICE harm local police? What the research says
Jennifer C. Gibbs, Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice, Harrisburg campus, Pennsylvania State University at Politics + Society – The Conversation - 1 day ago
An ICE operation in Los Angeles, Feb. 7, 2017. Charles Reed/U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement via AP Police need public cooperation. The police rely on the public to report and help solve crimes. This is especially true now that police departments face budget cuts and increasing demands on their time – an environment that pressures police to get things done through innovative partnerships with citizens. But cooperation and partnerships rely on trust, something that’s in short supply between citizens and police. Public perception of the police and public engagement with imm... more »

Why is US Media Ignoring Prof. Postol's Study on Syria Chemical Weapons Attack?
The Trump Administration announced today that it was placing 271 Syrian scientists under sanctions for what it claimed was their work on producing chemical weapons for the Assad government. As with the chemical attack in Idlib earlier this month, for which the US blamed Assad, there was no proof provided. RPI Director Daniel McAdams joined RT today to discuss the current state of US policy toward Syria and the double standards when it comes to reporting and investigating civilian deaths in Syria and Iraq:

[image: in-runoff-french-voters-to-choose-globalism-or-self-government] Multiple establishment-backed globalist candidates were defeated in the French election this weekend, paving the way for a rare runoff next month between anti-globalist Marine Le Pen and establishment globalist Emmanuel Macron. The stakes are extremely high for France and the West. And while pollsters are already predicting that the remaining establishment globalist will win, more than a few analysts noted that they said the same thing about Hillary Clinton and the pro-European Union camp in Britain's historic B... more »
Sarah Palin uses soldier suffering from PTSD to shame college students.
You guys might recognize that meme as it was fairly popular with the Right Wing several years ago. However as Raw Story points out using it today demonstrates a complete lack of empathy toward that soldier, James Blake Miller, who suffers from PTSD: *Miller, now 32, received a medical discharge from the Marine Corps in 2005 after blacking out while assisting in Hurricane Katrina recovery due to post-traumatic stress issues related to his combat experience in Iraq.* So is Palin suggesting that college students should earn their chance at free college by first getting Post Traumatic ... more »
