NEA recomends Alinsky as teaching aid

clipper's remarks: I love how it isn't 'personal terrorism' if you just deem someone to be a symbol and not a person. Maybe that is why the left is so sympathetic to the Fort Hood shooter. They don't consider those dead as people, but only as symbols of something they can't stand.

The National Education Association (NEA) website recommends Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” for nation’s teachers as a classroom aide.

Barack Obama was hired by an Alinsky protege back when he worked as a community organizer. He’s already been accused of utilizing Alinsky’s Marxist tactics.

Here is part of the NEA’s review of Saul Alinsky’s radical writings:

Radicals precipitate the social crisis by action – by using power.

The American Radical will fight privilege and power

The Radical recognizes that constant dissension and conflict is and has been the fire under the boiler of democracy

The Radical may resort to the sword but when he does he is not filled with hatred against those individuals whom he attacks. He hates these individuals not as persons but as symbols representing ideas or interests which he believes to be inimical to the welfare of the people.

That is the reason why Radicals, although frequently embarking upon revolutions, have rarely resorted to personal terrorism.

Consent will be required for cookies in Europe

Consent will be required for cookies in Europe

EDITORIAL: A law that demands consent to internet cookies has been approved and will be in force across the EU within 18 months. It is so breathtakingly stupid that the normally law-abiding business may be tempted to bend the rules to breaking point.

The fate of Europe's cookie law became improbably entwined with a debate over file-sharing. To cut a long story short, it broke free. On 26th October, it was voted through by the Council of the EU. It cannot be stopped and awaits only the rubber-stamp formalities of signature and publication.

Supreme Court will Classify ruling for Patents

On Monday, the Supreme Court will explore what type of inventions would require a patent in a pivotal case that can undermine a legal protection for software. This patent rule will bar processes and methods in doing businesses. Among those are online shopping techniques, medical diagnostic tests, procedures for executing trades on Wall Street and even undercut patents on software formulation and manufacture. The bad side of this ruling might affect high-tech industries as it can invalidate many existing software patents or at it maybe difficult for them to defend their case in lawsuits. It can also hard to apply for patents since softwares are generally patented as a process for doing something than as a physical invention.

(CNSNews.com) – More than 200 amendments were rejected by the House Rules Committee ahead of Saturday's vote on the Democrats' health care bill, including 11 that would have required members of Congress and other government officials to be enrolled in the same federal insurance plan proposed for the American people.

Critics of the health care bill said they offered the 11 amendments – including some that would require the president, vice president, and Supreme Court justices to give up their Federal Employees Health Benefit Program (FEHBP) to enroll in the ‘public option’ or Medicaid – to showcase the problems with the massive legislation.

“If it is good enough for American families, then it is more than good enough for Washington bureaucrats,” he said. “Therefore, I decided to offer an amendment which would mandate all members of Congress, their staff, and administration officials to participate in the public option.”

Airport Rules Changed After Ron Paul Aide Detained

clipper's remarks: Know your rights.

An angry aide to Rep. Ron Paul, an iPhone and $4,700 in cash have forced the Transportation Security Administration to quietly issue two new rules telling its airport screeners they can only conduct searches related to airplane safety.

In response, the American Civil Liberties Union is dropping its lawsuit on behalf of Steve Bierfeldt, the man who was detained in March and who recorded the confrontation on his iPhone as TSA and local police officers spent half an hour demanding answers as to why he was carrying the money through Lambert-St. Louis International Airport.

The new rules, issuedin September and October, tell officers “screening may not be conducted to detect evidence of crimes unrelated to transportation security” and that large amounts of cash don’t qualify as suspicious for purposes of safety.

TSA had earlier defended the search, though it had criticized officers’ abusive behavior.

Tough love breeds smart kids

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 08:03:13 GMT

A new study in the United Kingdom has found that children whose parents take a "tough love" approach are better prepared to achieve in life.

The research by think tank Demos tracked the lives of 9,000 families over eight years.

The head of the research team, Sonia Sodha, says the tough love style of parenting combines warmth and discipline, and is far more important in a child's success than parents' income or social background.

"Parents are able to set rules, apply them consistently and fairly and that means that children know what the boundaries are to their behaviour," she said.

Ms Sodha says tough love parenting helps children to develop key skills such as emotion control and empathy.

"They are skills that we've termed character capabilities, and what I mean when I say that is skills like self-regulation, so being able to regulate your own emotions in difficult circumstances," she said.

This is a video of Roomba Pac-Man in action. A few clarifications:

The red tape on the floor is simply so the user can visualize the map in the real world. The robots are unaware of the tape, and are rather constrained by a virtual boundary embedded in their programming.

The "dots" on the floor are pieces of paper the the Pac-Man Roomba must vacuum up to complete the map.

The ghosts actually autonomously search for Pac-Man, and when they get close enough to "sense" Pac-Man, chase him according to a set of probabalistic rules.

The human controller cannot force the Pac-Man to cross any boundaries, it will only allow inputs in valid directions.

This video demonstrates the capability of the onboard controllers to follow a operator specified waypoint plan.

Women Asking Men of a Novel Adventure

Women can ask men, too. History, however, saw that men are usually the more aggressive gender when it comes to bedroom adventures. It is men who initiate. But as a new world order ensues, women are becoming more demanding. They assume more power, whether on house rules or in bedtime encounters.

This is an instance of role reversal. Though, guys like to be asked for sex, sometimes this scares them. Should they be scared in the first place? The matter with this issue is it springs from gender roles society attributes to men and women.

He may be taken aback if you say, “I want to use sex toys, honey use that vibrator now.”

Or maybe say one of your friends said her boyfriend used a rabbit vibrator to her last night that was incredibly intense, and that you would like to try the idea.

Email Marketing - Rules and Regulations

The basic aim of an email sent for email marketing purpose should be to make the recipient read the email. This is not easy as people get dozens of emails every day and sorting out the ones those which have to be read is done by reading subject of the email. If your email subject is something like “Buy Ice Cream Maker for $100” it will not attract the customer. It should be something that develops interest of the reader immediately as he reads the subject. For example the subject can be ”$100 Ice Maker with a free Ice cream”, or it could be something like “The Ultimate Ice Cream Maker for $100”.
