The Democratic Endgame
2008-06-04 01:56:00 Reuters: Jimmy Carter set to endorse ObamaCNN: Clinton says she?s open to VPAP: Clinton to concede delegate raceReuters: Obama poised to claim victoryIt appears that the final Democratic nomination endgame may be seen after tonight. The fate of one Obama is certain, while the future of the other Democratic candidate is much less clear.The future of HillaryIt is unlikely Clinton will withdraw either today or tomorrow without having Obama and the Democratic National Committee answer some questions, some of which include:- Her place in the Obama administration- Her political future- Her campaign debtLet?s start with that last one. Clinton has about $20 million dollars in debt, some $11 million of which is her own money that she lent to her own campaign. What are her options for raising $20 million after her campaign has effectively ended? The easiest practice might be to pay back her creditors slowly in small payments. However, this would likely lose Clinton some credibility. One strat...

Just War and Endgame Objectives in Iraq
2008-05-12 13:09:00 The just war theory connects the use of military force to politics, reminding statesmen that war and politics serve the same goals—namely, justice, order, and peace. Every activity within war must be scrutinized for its capacity to create a more just reorganization of power. Robust analysis should attend not only to questions about whether war is justified, but also to broader political questions about the dynamics that lead to war and strategies for achieving peace....(read more)

WOW Guide - A Guide to Spellsurge in Endgame PVE
2008-05-01 07:31:00 Maximizing Your Caster Weapon Enchants -- A Guide to Spellsurge in PVE01. IntroductionThe Spellsurge weapon enchant is one of the least known and used of the caster weapon enchants, yet one of the most powerful. I have used this enchant in countless groups and I always receive a lot of questions about it. The more questions I answered, the more I realized how unused this enchant is. My goal for this guide is to provide as much information as possible about this enchant, and how to maximize its potential in a PVE raiding environment.Before we start, here's a link to to the Spellsurge formula on Thottbot: http://thottbot.com/i2255802.

Review: Practical Endgame Play – Mastering the Basics
2008-04-30 05:03:00 The best sellers seem to be books on openings, but most chess teachers advise becoming competent in endgame play before devoting too much time to opening strategies. Practical Endgame Play is a bit lean when it comes to bare pawn endings, but excellent for the very common rook endings. My review is now online at ChessCafe; here is a brief snippet of the book taken from the author's coverage of

Waiting for Godot for the Endgame in Iraq
2008-04-09 19:06:00 For a long time President Bush seemed to be blind to realities on the ground in Iraq. Lately he may have traded short term failure for future vindication - "History will judge me differently". Perhaps there is a sense that while he is the master of the Iraq policies, he is really enslaved to the circumstanced he created. He won't admit mistakes and the events of yesterday control his actions of the day. When he went in against world opinion the outside world was of little concern, and so it is now when he alone remains grounded or perhaps buried in his stance. The Iraqi government, seemingly independent, dreads the day we leave. They are dependent on us, but with the current policies it seems that we are no less dependent on them. In political realities it is not clear who is the master, or if there really is a master of the events. The Democrats, background players who have been voicing...

The Endgame All-Star Team
2007-08-10 22:32:00 What if you missed the first 200 picks of your draft? Could you still win with a team compiled entirely of those picked 201st or later? Using Average Draft Position Data from Mock Draft Central, let's compile the Endgame All-Star Team. I'll use a standard roto roster. "); // --> Catchers: Bengie Molina, Jason Varitek. Both backstops have quietly been in the top ten at the position. Hell, the second best catcher, Russell Martin, was picked 183rd on average. First Base: Carlos Pena. He's not even in the top 300. And now he's the fifth best 1B in fantasy. I imagine he's on a lot of first place teams right now. Second Base: Placido Polanco. He's the fourth best 2B, racking up runs and average like nobody's business. Kind of like I expected in 2006. Shortstop: Jhonny Peralta. Nice bounceback for Peralta, currently the eighth-ranked shortstop. Middle Infielder: B.J. Upton. Even with the time missed, Upt...

The Endgame
2007-07-25 10:59:00 West Ham United were last night facing a multimillion-pound lawsuit in the battle over the future of Carlos Tévez after the player?s agents issued a writ against the club. Legal proceedings began after Fifa refused to rule on the player?s potential transfer to Manchester United, referring the case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Lausanne. The Premier League had hoped that Fifa would mediate to resolve the situation, but football?s world governing body backed away from making a ruling that it feared could be challenged in a court of law. "It is not a matter of refusing to arbitrate but a recommendation in the interest of all parties involved in the complicated affair," a Fifa spokesman simpered. Instead, lawyers for Media Sports Investments and Just Sports Inc - the companies who held the economic rights relating to Tevez when he moved to Upton Park last August - have lodged a breach-of-contract claim with the courts.So the Carlos Tevez chess match marches resolutely t...

The endgame in Iraq is now clear
2007-06-13 05:53:00 Christopher J. Fettweis, assistant professor of national security affairs at the U.S. Naval War College, pens one of the best commentaries on the Bush/Cheney debacle in Iraq I have read.Post-traumatic Iraq syndromeThe war is lost. Americans should begin to deal with what that means. LOSING HURTS MORE than winning feels good. This simple maxim applies with equal power to virtually all areas of human interaction: sports, finance, love. And war.Defeat in war damages societies quite out of proportion to what a rational calculation of cost would predict. The United States absorbed the loss in Vietnam quite easily on paper, for example, but the societal effects of defeat linger to this day. The Afghanistan debacle was an underrated contributor to Soviet malaise in the 1980s and a factor in perestroika, glasnost and eventually the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Defeats can have unintended, seemingly inexplicable consequences.And as any sports fan can tell you, the only thing that feels w...

New Asia: Endgame of Late Capitalism
2007-04-06 19:00:00 Administrator’s note: This week’s post by Patrick Donovan weighs in on the contested nature of “late capitalist culture” as epitomized in contemporary art in the “New Asia.”Lee Weng Choy in Authenticity, Reflexivity, and Spectacle, Or, the Rise of New Asia is not the End of the World, posits Singapore, or more broadly a "New Asia," as representing the telos, or end point, of the culture of late capitalist history. This culture is characterized by vulgar, violent, and repetitive spectacle as evidenced, for example, on Singapore television. Choy suggests, based on writings by Walter Benjamin, that this late capitalist culture views history as not progressive, but merely a montage, or juxtaposition of moments in time. Thus, apparently, late capitalist culture is essentially a juxtaposition of otherwise disconnected images and ideas without any historical sense. Citing Arthur Danto, Choy states that late capitalist culture is reflected in contemporary art, which is ch...

2007-03-15 00:23:00 In Mark Dvoretsky's latest ChessCafe column, he deeply annotates a complex rook and pawn ending.

After the class, I analyzed the endgame with the aid of my computer program, and saw that it contained some difficult and
Perspectives: The Iran endgame
2007-02-06 05:26:01 On the political front, Iran was given a permanent status in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). The SCO?s warm reception for Iranian President Ahmadinejad would strengthen perceptions of the organization as a new challenge to Washington’s interests in Central Asia. In the words of a British scholar: ?The West does practice double standards with regards to Israel. It merely has two standards: whether the nation state in question is friendly towards the West and whether it is a signatory to the NPT.? If one takes the above formula as a criterion then Iran fails on both accounts. A recent study suggests that ?Iran is probably on track to meet its goal of producing 3,000 centrifuges by the end of March or shortly thereafter. Iran obtained at least 500 disassembled centrifuges from Pakistan through the AQ-Khan black-market network plus the blueprints to produce its own.? Link to this article.

Kyle XY: Endgame
2006-09-02 23:12:01 People claiming to be Kyle XY’s real parents have shown up! Someone stole him from them a while ago. It is probably the same people who stole his belly button. Kyle XY sleeps in a bathtub. Didn’t Mork sleep in something funny too? Maybe I’m thinking of ALF. Kyle XY is confused by the concept of church. Oh, an outsider’s view of the human race. What a unique twist! That has never been explored before. Except by the Greeks. And the Egyptians. And everyone else everywhere always. Mystery people wearing dark clothing in a dark office are planning to take Kyle XY out. Maybe they’ll give him a belly piercing, so he can fit in. They can also let the little troll, who is messing with his deep dark vocal cords, out of his body. The DNA test matched Kyle XY with his supposed real parents. Being confused, he goes to church, which confuses him more. Whenever I am confused, I take a plane down to NASA headquarters and start asking about rocket science. Kyle XY must ...
