“Damn” was her audible response
I recently heard a surprising story: A female CEO was briefed on a stellar candidate for a top job at her company. “Sounds ideal,” she said to the group in the room. “Male or female?” Male was the answer. “Damn” was her audible response. The guy wasn’t even interviewed. Why Are Men SilentSearch BIS

And rather than follow the conventional path of indebting yourself for 13-years so that you can attend university for four, and then fork over the bulk of your pay to the government, instead focus on learning tangible, valuable skills overseas.Government Cheese

Good job GOP
Obama warns GOP: Stop trying to frighten Americans about my policies
Before it’s all over, there will be a lot more people who wish the GOP had done a better job frightening Americans.

“The One” disses King Harald
It would be nice if “The One” would stop making it up as he goes along, learn some etiquette and get some advisors that stop making him look like a “stupid cowboy“.

Open Source Now
The Wall Street Journal editorializes on the reluctance of climate researchers to share their data. This would include not only East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit, but other notable organizations such as the National Science Foundation, NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and it’s National Climate Data Center (NCDC).
I couldn’t agree more with the conclusion…
Most of the participants in Copenhagen seem intent on rushing headlong into a successor to the Kyoto Protocol. But it would seem more fruitful at this point to redouble our efforts to figure out what we do and don’t know about the climate’s past, present and future. That includes casting some much-needed sunshine on the data on which so much importance is being placed, but which so far has remained shielded from public view.

Minus 8 degrees
At least that’s what weather.com is reporting (no outside thermometer here). They are predicting a high of 18 degrees (we’re talking Fahrenheit here. I say, “Bring it on!”

Discovery Math and number lines
This is a challenge problem…
You can use the number lines to solve Felix’s problem.
Felix went to the mall to find the best price on blue jeans. At the first store, Blue Jeans Plus, the sale price is $19.95 per pair. The second store, Mr. Green Jeans, has a deal when you buy three pairs of jeans you get the first pair at the regular price, the second pair for 15% off and the third pair for 20% off. Felix went to the mall on Saturday and could not figure out which store he should buy his jeans from so he bought some jeans from both stores with the idea that he will return the jeans that cost the most. That weekend Felix spent a total of $113.75 at the mall on 6 pairs of jeans.
1. What is the price of one pair of jeans at Mr. Green Jeans?
2. If the price per pair of jeans at Mr. Green Jeans was $22.00 which store has the best deal?
3. Find the store that Felix should take the jeans back to. Try to explain your reasoning using number lines.
4. If Felix wanted to buy two pairs of jeans where should he shop?
YOU CAN USE NUMBER LINES TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM? I’m sure you can, but why or why in the heck would you want to? How about a little algebra, it’s a perfect application don’t you thing?
Talk about going back to the stone age!
Note: This is actually a challenge problem in a geometry class. For whatever reason they are reviewing fractions and decimals with the Algebra I class. The Algebra I class may not yet have learned enough tools to do this problem using Algebra techniques but the geometry students sure should.

Thin skin
One more example. Grow up Mr. President.
In an interview with The Hill, Conyers said his opinions of Obama’s policies on healthcare reform and the war in Afghanistan have not sat well with the president.
According to the lawmaker, the president picked up the phone several weeks ago to find out why Conyers was “demeaning” him.
Obama’s decision to challenge Conyers highlights a sensitivity to criticism the president has taken on the left. Conyers’s critical remarks, many of which have been reported on the liberal-leaning Huffington Post, appear to have irritated the president, known for his calm demeanor.

Who IS afraid of Sarah Palin
Daily Camera columnist Clay Evans asked (almost) that exact question a few weeks ago. The editorial is full of Clay’s typical sarcastic whit. I wondered why he wrote it, apparently her wildly successful and ongoing book tour must have gotten under Clay’s skin.
Well here’s another reason for him to worry. A CNN poll no less, so it must be true. 😉

How many papers ran the Copenhagen GW Editorial?
Inquiring minds would like to know how many legacy media papers picked up the Copenhagen groupthink global warming editorial today.
A very quick search locally shows:
Daily Camera: Yes
Longmont Times Call: No
Denver Post : No (preliminary, I’m not that familiar with their website).

Told ya so….
Just as predicted, the Daily Camera ran the legacy media groupthink editorial on climate change.
They attributed it to the Miami Herald, although they are one of the 56 newspapers on the list. One must wonder what they had to do with composing the editorial.
I’m sure running editorials like this will help the Daily Camera when they look to the government for dollars to stay in business.

Legacy Media sings climate change Kumbayah
Legacy media, you can’t find a much better example of global groupthink than this.
Tomorrow 56 newspapers in 45 countries take the unprecedented step of speaking with one voice through a common editorial. We do so because humanity faces a profound emergency….
I’m sure the local paper doesn’t want to be left out of this one. You can read it here now. It begins…
Today 56 newspapers in 45 countries take the unprecedented step of speaking with one voice through a common editorial. We do so because humanity faces a profound emergency.
Unless we combine to take decisive action, climate change will ravage our planet, and with it our prosperity and security. The dangers have been becoming apparent for a generation. Now the facts have started to speak: 11 of the past 14 years have been the warmest on record, the Arctic ice-cap is melting and last year’s inflamed oil and food prices provide a foretaste of future havoc. In scientific journals the question is no longer whether humans are to blame, but how little time we have got left to limit the damage. Yet so far the world’s response has been feeble and half-hearted.
Makes me wanna puke. The wife unit still has standing permission to cancel the Denver Post whenever the mood strikes her. The Daily Camera has been cancelled for years.
Make sure you keep this list of 56 newspapers handy when looking for thorough, fair coverage of the ClimateChange scandal.
These are 56 newspapers that you cannot trust on the issue:
Hope someone keeps a list of all the papers in the U.S. that “fall in line”.

I wonder if you googled each of these legacy media web sites for the term Climategate if there would be any hits?

Insulting but not surprising
Reid Compares Opponents of Health Care Reform to Supporters of Slavery
“Instead of joining us on the right side of history, all the Republicans can come up with is, ‘slow down, stop everything, let’s start over.’ If you think you’ve heard these same excuses before, you’re right,” Reid said Monday. “When this country belatedly recognized the wrongs of slavery, there were those who dug in their heels and said ‘slow down, it’s too early, things aren’t bad enough.'”
And I say hell yes let’s start over.
Good thing he’s about to be retired, unfortunately he can do a lot of damage between now and then.
