Hegemonic Warfare Watch: China's ADIZ roundup

Michael Turton at The View from Taiwan - 6 minutes ago
*Took the Motao out to Shihlin Night Market the other day.* So much commentary -- apparently China's new ADIZ woke the world up. We've arrived at one of those historical moments when even the densest dunderheads can see, a *Panay *moment, or a remilitarization of the Rhineland moment, when onlookers are beginning to realize the coming course of events.... Lots of good stuff out there. Corey Wallace over at China Policy Institute observes: The Chinese government is increasingly perceived in Japan to be implementing a calculated and “staged” approach to undermining Japan’s claims ... more »

Affordable Metal Roofing

Steve at Thinking Aboot - 22 minutes ago
I follow home construction trends and innovations. Two staples of home construction IMHO should be banned, asphalt shingles and vinyl siding. Affordable replacements now exist. Metal roofs are warranted 55 years and should last indefinitely. The cost of a 50 year fiberglass backed shingle may still be lower but I expect in a hundred years three actual replacements. Fiberglass faux stone on the other hand would be my choice of siding.

THE SAUDI CONNECTION

Bruce K. Gagnon at Organizing Notes - 1 hour ago
Saudi Arabia wants to buy $20 billion worth of war ships from the US and Bath Iron Works in Maine is at the top of the list to build some or all of them. Are we getting so desperate in the US that we now build ships for totalitarian monarchies whose idea of justice is to chop off heads and hands of the accused? Can you see the firestorm of protest and controversy that will ensue if this deal goes through?

Right Wing Automaton Mike Huckabee And Benghazi!

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 1 hour ago
When I was growing up, I looked forward to watching *60 Minutes* every Sunday. Not so much after I grew up. For me it had lost its relevance some time in the 1980s. I haven't watched it since. So when the whole Lara Logan kerfuffle exploded, we didn't cover it here at *DWT* and I only followed it second and third-hand in news reports about how CBS-TV had allowed one of their reporters to twist a Benghazi story into deceitful right-wing propaganda that fit her own political agenda and then gave her a paid vacation to shut the critics up. Unpleasant but not something that surprised... more »

A Matter Of Self Respect

Owen Gray at Northern Reflections - 1 hour ago
The Senate scandal has shredded Stephen Harper's credibility. You would think that would cause a caucus revolt. But, Michael Den Tandt writes, it isn't happening: I caught nary a whisper of this turning into open revolt or even a long-term subterranean assault along the lines of former prime minister Paul Martin’s multi-year campaign to supplant Jean Chretien in the late 1990s. The reason is simply that Harper’s hold on his party is too powerful. For many Conservative MPs, he is the only leader they’ve known. “There’s no talk of leadership revolt,” said one. “People are nervous a... more »

Rampant Islamophobia?

Not a sheep at Not a sheep - 3 hours ago
The real threat to good community relations in the West is Islamophobia, or so we keep being told. The trouble is that the facts are at variance to the claims. The FBI's 2012 Hate Crime Statistics show By bias motivation An analysis of data for victims of single-bias hate crime incidents showed that: - 48.5 percent of the victims were targeted because of the offender’s bias against a race. - 19.2 percent were targeted because of a bias against a particular sexual orientation. - 18.7 percent were victimiz... more »

Doctor Who: The Day of the Doctor: The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot

A BBC special film revolving around the Fifth Doctor/Peter Davison, the Sixth Doctor/Colin Baker, the Seventh Doctor/Sylvester McCoy (Who's also in The Hobbit) and the Eighth Doctor/Paul McGann and their alleged attempts to be in the 50th anniversary special. It's quite amusing but no more than that, although the Peter Jackson and Ian McKellen scene is nicely done, incidentally does anyone see the point of adding Radagast the Brown to the original story and John Barrowman's secret family is a nice touch but not as realistic as his obsessive self-promotion and incessant singing.

Comet ISON destroyed by global warming

Luboš Motl at The Reference Frame - 7 hours ago
*Nashville, Tennessee* (Ceuters) – It was supposed to be the "Comet of the Century". Instead, it became yet another victim of the global warming. On Thursday, Comet ISON was approaching the perihelion, the closest point to the Sun on its trajectory. Centuries ago, before the climate began to change, such a moment in the life of a comet would be an important event for the religious societies (for example, Virgin Mary gave a birth when she saw the Comet of Bethlehem – and virgins rarely give a birth while looking at the sky) but it would be an unremarkable event from the comet's viewp... more »

Austerity Agenda In Latvia Leads To A Tragic Supermarket Collapse, Followed By The Collapse Of The Right-Wing Government Of Krugman Nemesis Valdis Dombrovskis

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 10 hours ago
I doubt most Americans could locate Latvia on a map, even if someone told them it is in Europe. And even the most geographically-astute Americans would have a one-in-three shot of pointing out *which* Baltic country was Latvia, which was Lithuania and which was Estonia. As for the country's longest serving Prime Minister, Valdis Dombrovskis, the only people who ever heard of him outside of the State Department only heard of him because of his big public spat with Paul Krugman-- until yesterday. Yesterday Dombrovskis resigned and his right-wing government collapsed. That happened ... more »

Sounds good - it's the least Corporate America can do for those struggling to make ends meet while big companies rake in record profits and give so little back. But wait… there's a catch. The food drive is for the company's own underpaid, poverty-stricken workers. You really can't make this stuff up.

Metformin's unusual mechanisms - Lower Carb and Pro-Prebiotic

George Henderson at The High-fat Hep C Diet - 16 hours ago
Metformin is generally considered to be a drug with few vices, so I was intrigued to read some tweets a while back that mentioned GI upsets in patients. Wikipedia lists these: "The most common adverse effect of metformin is gastrointestinal irritation, including diarrhea, cramps, nausea, vomiting and increased flatulence; metformin is more commonly associated with gastrointestinal side effects than most other antidiabetic drugs. Gastrointestinal upset is most common when metformin is first administered, or when the dose is increased. The discomfort can often be avoided by beginni... more »

What the heck is Boris Johnson about?

Roobin at THROUGH THE SCARY DOOR - 17 hours ago
Boris Johnson has made a speech extolling greed and personal accumulation “as a motivator for economic progress”, but also suggesting that aiming for equality is a futile aim because 16% of the population has an IQ of less than 85. Boris Johnson is a successful man, successful enough it seems to describe £250k for a weekly column as chicken feed. He should be intelligent enough to notice the contradiction between these two statements. Then again, perhaps he meant them as a dialectical proposition (he read the Classics at Oxford University after all). We can unpick these assertions e... more »

sue at Is the BBC biased? - 21 hours ago
Before we go any further, this concerns the Telegraph rather than the BBC. Peter Oborne *hates* the Jewish Lobby. He’s made *programmes* about it, so convinced is he that it’s evil. I’ve no idea why he has got this unkind notion into his head, but his obsessional ravings actually sully what’s left of Daily Telegraph. His latest effort concerns the Historic Deal. At the time of writing his article has generated 1113 comments, some of which are truly frightening. Oborne begins by giving an account of the address William Hague gave - on his return from Geneva - to the ‘pro-Israel Lobb... more »

Peter MacKay either lied or is too lazy to read his own bill

Dave at The Galloping Beaver - 22 hours ago
MacKay in his usual "Airshow" bluster told the House of Commons that even if internet service providers were voluntarily cooperating with law enforcement by retaining and sharing YOUR personal information that a warrant would still be required. Just like Vic Toews before him, it appears MacKay has not read and does not understand the clear wording of the proposed legislation he tabled.

Since changing to streaming-only, and since I'm out one or two nights a week, we really don't binge on movies anymore - no more three movies a week for months on end - but we still need a go-to list. Movies: well-made documentaries, quirky indies, suspenseful noir, crime thrillers or capers, mind-benders, smart comedies - post them here. Series: We are psyched for the long-awaited Sherlock S3!

thoughts on "the central park five": new york city, the central park jogger, and me

laura k at wmtc - 22 hours ago
We've just seen "The Central Park Five," the Ken Burns film about five young men of colour who were wrongfully arrested, indicted, and convicted of rape and attempted murder, and who served seven, and in one case, thirteen years, in prison for a crime they didn't commit. There was virtually no evidence linking the five teenagers to the crime, and enormous amounts of evidence showing they could not possibly have committed it. They were convicted on the strength of illegally obtained, coerced, false confessions. In one sense, this story is one of the oldest in the United States. As ... more »

Healthy Ageing 5: RHC Forum on Ageing Market and Geriatric Care

Nonoy Oplas at Government and Taxes - 22 hours ago
I am half a century old already and will soon become a “dual citizen” in a few years. That is, a Filipino citizen and senior citizen J. This plus the politics of government interventionism in the name of “helping” the senior citizens slowly get my interest on the literature of ageing. Last October 29, 2013, I attended a forum by the Retirement and Healthcare Coalition (RHC) on the Ageing Market at Diamond Hotel, Manila. The speakers and their topics were the following: “Overview of the Philippine Ageing Market” Dr. Miguel Ramos, Director, National Center for Geriatric Health (NCGH)... more »

Thanksgiving in the retail Earth

Capt. Fogg at The Impolitic - 23 hours ago
By Capt. Fogg Stopped for gas yesterday, the kind of magnificent, glorious day that makes your heart sing and your body forget its age. 74 degrees, with a few little clouds, the bright sun shining off the newly waxed red convertible, air as fresh as it is anywhere wafting like the smell of jasmine off the blue Atlantic. The advertising sign on the gas pump has a picture of bundled up people on a toboggan and snow. My neighbors have begun to put up fake icicles, fake frost, chrome caribou and sleds festooned with lights and other reminders that Christmas, a month away, is really ... more »

Thinking Aboot the possibility that Miley Cyrus could be Time Magazines person of the year. Time magazine and their ilk are like some kind of phantom appendage that we can feel but no longer have any use. I consider myself extraordinarily informed, and have not read a hard copy of Time in ten years and might have looked at it on line once in the past five years, and that was only related to an entertainment story. But I remember when Life and Time where the last word on critical thought. Unfortunately for both companies and society in general critical thought no longer wins most p... more »

Thanksgiving Misgivings

jurassicpork at Welcome Back to Pottersville - 23 hours ago
Unfortunately, Squanto wasn't psychic. If he was, think of all the misery he could've saved his people. But he wasn't. The Indians around Plymouth Rock, Massachusetts took pity on the settlers from the Mayflower and essentially kept them alive. Over the next four centuries, we repaid them with venereal disease and small pox, massive land grabs, raids, fascist resident schools and shunting them to reservations. Because that's the way of the White Man and his Manifest Destiny. And we're still seeing the same spirit today in mostly white corporate executives who have... more »

Trans Pacific Partnership: TPP DEFENDERS TAKE TO THE INTERNET TO DELIVER OFFICIAL TALKING POINTS; INADVERTENTLY CONFIRM OPPONENTS' WORST FEARS

Reblogged from: http://goo.gl/oedX7R The leaked TPP draft, pried loose from the "open and transparent" grip of the USTR, is generating plenty of commentary all over the web. After getting a good look inside, it's little wonder the USTR felt more comfortable trying to push this through under the cover of darkness. As the criticism of the push for IP maximalism mounts, the treaty's defenders have leapt into the fray, hoping to assure everyone who wasn't previously aware of the treaty's contents (which is pretty much everyone) that there's nothing to see here and please move along. ... more »

Legal aid and admissibility of evidence

James C Morton at Morton's Musings - 1 day ago
R. v. Carrol and Denny, 2013 ONSC 7072 (CanLII), [29] It is not the role of Legal Aid to determine what evidence is, or is not admissible, at a criminal trial. Where the Crown seeks the admission of evidence at trial, it is incumbent on the defence to not only prepare for the motion, but to prepare for the trial as if that evidence may be admitted. I cannot countenance refusing to admit relevant evidence on the basis that Legal Aid has determined it would not be admissible and therefore would not provide appropriate funding to defend against it.

Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein statistics: amazingly different biological sisters

This greatest Italian physicist after Galileo Galilei was also the ultimate example of a physicist who was both a great theorist and a great experimenter. *Fermi speaking in 1954* Fermi has done some amazing work on the nuclear bomb, nuclear energy. More theoretically, he's famous for the first theory of the beta-decay and for the Fermi-Dirac statistics as well as numerous other things. His theory of the \(\beta\)-decay from the 1930s is rather simple to summarize. All the \(\beta\)-decays of the nuclei may ultimately be descri... more »
