Security Matters: The Seven Habits of Highly Ineffective Terrorists
2008-10-02 16:33:00
From Wired Top Stories: Most counterterrorism policies fail, not because of tactical problems, but because of a fundamental misunderstanding of what motivates terrorists in the first place. If we're ever going to defeat terrorism, we need to understand what drives people to become

English votes on English matters - Unique Powers.
2008-06-09 11:07:00
Why is the question of English votes on English matters so difficult to sort out? We've had Malcolm Rifkind's Grand Committee, which it is argued will only add another layer of government. Now after a lengthy process Ken Clarke comes up with another bloody stupid idea.From the Telegraph: He (Ken Clarke) is said to have advised allowing all MPs to vote on English legislation at the initial second reading stage of parliamentary scrutiny. But only English MPs would get to vote during the detailed committee stage of the legislative process, where real changes can be effected. At the third and final reading, all MPs could once again vote, but a new parliamentary undertaking would prevent any party using Scottish votes to block amendments made by English MPs.Why oh why can't we just stop Scottish MPs voting in England on any matter that would normally be devolved to Scotland? In other words - any subject that English MPs are not allowed to vote on in Scotland. Surely that would be a f...
What matters more?
2008-06-07 05:18:00
Location, location, location Yeah...we've all heard the line before. However, what is a great location for me might not be the best location for you. Maybe what is important to you is proximity to work, nightlife, places of worship or recreation. A good location could be one that is surburban or urban. Location is a very subjective thing. What truely defines a good location is the ability to attract and appeal to the greatest number of potential buyers resulting in the highest resale price at the time of sale. A good location, in terms of resale value, offers well maintained properties, a diverse and thriving economy, low crime rates, easy access to transportation and/or highways and close proximity to essential services and shops; to name a few. Whether or not you have children in school, a good perceived location is one that's associated with quality schools. Areas in and around Somerset offers choices between urban areas, such as New ...

Size Matters

Politico's John Harris Do as I say. Not as I do in "How Small Stories Become Big News"It would be a big story if Clinton said something like this: ?Hey, I know it looks bad for me now But, think about it. Obama could get shot and I?d get to be the nominee after all.? But Clinton?s clumsiness does not excuse news media clumsiness in making a minor story seem like a major one. A note on the randomness of the news: If this really was a big story, then the media has blown it for months. Clinton made similar remarks to Time magazine back in March. (The Wall Street Journal reporter with Clinton has an entertaining look at how the pack traveling with the candidate initially missed the story.)Blame cable Tee Vee...

Letters to Editor - Guardianship Matters
2008-05-27 06:10:00
Guardianship corruption is rampant in this country. Please read the above web sites. The public needs to be informed. They could be next on the hit list!One last comment to the first letter which was submitted concerning a woman's son who was ripping their mother off, then the courts became involved which only compounded the dilemma since the lawyer/guardian was another rip off con artist!I want to warn everyone out there, it is NOT a good idea to get the courts involved in family feuds. You will always come out defeated, and the situation will be much worse than before. People need to work the best way they can within their families to work these situations out.The courts (probate Judges and lawyers, social workers) love cases like this woman. It is a piece of cake to them! The usual plan of attack by the courts is to proclaim the family does not get along, therefore there needs to be a distant "third party" to take control of the disputed persons life affairs.At that time the new...

Why Twitter Matters
2008-05-21 00:40:00
It's easy to laugh at nonsense on Twitter, the microblogging rage. "My nose is leaking," writes someone called Zapples, "so imma go to sleep now.?" But I've heard lots of similar drivel (and even produced some myself) on the phone?an important technology if there ever was one. The key question today isn't what's dumb on Twitter, but instead how a service with bite-size messages topping out at 140 characters can be smart, useful, maybe even necessary. Here's why I'm looking. In the last few months, the traffic on Twitter has exploded, growing far beyond its circles of bleeding-edge tech enthusiasts and hard-core social networkers. Businesses such as H&R Block are now using Twitter to respond to customer queries. Market researchers look to it to scope out minute-by-minute trends. Media groups are focusing on Twitterers as first-to-the-scene reporters. (They were on top of the May 12 China earthquake within minutes.) Loads of new appli...

Why Twitter Matters

Great article in Business Week about Twitter. Some people are not sure if Twitter is the next wave.  I learned about Twitter from DK of MediaSnackers.com over a year ago.  DK taught me that Gen Y loves to “snack” on bits and bites of information.  Because Twitter only allows 140 characters, it is attractive to those ...
PinoyBlogoSphere.com - When a Worldclass International Airport Matters
2008-05-19 11:41:00
Source: www.PinoyBlogoSphere.com - One other thing I that got me excited to set foot in Bangkok again was to see for myself their much hyped and new international airport. If anything, I was floored and wowed. It’s architecture is amazingly modern and yet it has touches of the rich Thai culture in key places. Its construction had been beset with challenges here and there, I’ve learned, but the airport finally came through and I’d dare say the benefits must be worth the wait for the Thai nationals and its government. There is more to having a world class international airport than the obvious comfort it gives to travelers to and from a country. Carefully planning its location, accessibility, construction, and architecture can boost a nation’s economy, rake in jobs, and gain trust of more foreign investors. I remember a senior HR person from another company asking their company’s regional head why they had to resource training services elsewhere when the...

This series matters

Just like the MLB thought they made things more exciting by awarding the winning league in the all-star game homefield advantage in the World Series, DJF has been trying to blow your mind by elevating a regular season series to new heights by making a wager with bloggers of the opposing team -- only to completely dishonour that bet after losing thereby making it kinda pointless. Beej! Beej! Beej! Take that D-Rays Bay!Now, after Parkes so graciously pointed out that we think the Philadelphia Phillies are a somewhat less than worthy opponent of our bullshit interleague mutherfuckin' time, we've raised the stakes yet again.Bill Baer, of the excellent Phillies blog Crashburn Alley, has not only kindly agreed to appear on our podcast for this Monday to discuss the series, but is also willing to put his integrity on the line but taking up the following challenge:Should we win, Mr. Baer will have to make a reference to Willowdale's finest rock band, Rush, in every post for a week.

What's Love Got to Do With It? (MHM-Mental Health Matters)

Hey I bet you are saying to yourself what does love got to do with it? That my friend is simple, it?s got everything to do with it! You can?t stand there and tell me or even sit there and tell me that love doesn?t have or play a huge roll in your life!It has everything to do with you. You want to find a mate and be loved, don?t you? Say yes, because I know this to be true. Now why is it are primal interest to love and be loved? When Adam was alone in the Garden of Eden, he got lonely and God in his infinite wisdom, decide to make Adam a mate, from his own rib even.Now why would Adam become lonely in the Garden of Eden, a perfect place? Now do you see were the very first love and be loved took place? That?s right with the very first person and God agreed with him, so he really must have been lonely and wanted to be loved!Now we know for a fact that God loved Adam and perfectly I might add, but why was that not good enough for the human race? It?s simple he felt the need to be loved b...
Sort out what matters most
2008-05-11 11:42:00
If you've ever felt confused about the nature of success in your life, then you would benefit from sorting out what matters most.   Life experience teaches you that some of your most meaningful changes are difficult to measure.  Yet, you discern they can be experienced.  It is life experience which clarifies your values when you are ready to see.Success need not be defined by words like, "physical," "material," "spiritual" or "metaphysical." - Experience has a voice and language of its own that is profoundly useful, even healing.  It is all about a journey of learning to listen to your inner voice and modes of communication not easily explained to anyone who hasn't sensed something similar.A sense of progress will emerge as you grasp that you already work on a deeper level of intuition than you realize.  Its not about somewhere you're not, or doing something you're not doing. ...
Southampton. Fluent tactical approach matters!
2008-05-11 08:28:00
Today I have some good news about my Southampton. As it was decided in previous story message - my team should operate more defensively if we want to avoid relegation from Premier League. And, of course, I had real motivation for creation of defensive tactics because my team was on the last position when 24 matches had already been played. Actually, I hadn't created new tactics from the very beginning. I just changed formation of my current attacking one. You can compare both formations: 4-3-3 Attacking       &-#160;    &#-160;    -60;    -0;     -; 4-1-4-1 Defensive       So I just moved MLC and MRC from 4-3-3 tactics into positions of clear attacking wingers: ML and MR. And my 2 forwards (FLC, FRC) were moved  into MLC and MRC positions.  For 4-1-4-1 tactics I have been using Normal mentality without Counter Attacks. Though ...

Lawyer Ethics With Chinese Characteristics. It Matters.
2008-05-06 20:34:00
Second year SMU law student, Jing "Brad" Luo, recently had an article of his on China lawyer ethics published in China Law & Practice Magazine. A law student getting an article published in such a prestigious magazine (in his second language, no less) is really quite a feat. The article is entitled, "Chinese Law on Lawyers Amended: Progress Made and to Be Made," and though a subscription is required to see the whole article on the China Law & Practice site, Brad nicely summarizes it on his own blog, with a post, entitled, "Legal Ethics, In Chinese Style." My gross summary of Brad's summary is that China's new ethical rules for lawyers expand a bit on both the scope of confidentiality of client information and on what constitutes a conflict of interest, but on neither front have the rules gone far enough to make Western clients feel terribly comfortable. I previously wrote on why this discomfort is necessary in a post, entitled, "China Lawyer Ethics -- Perils And Pitfalls For F...

Expats urged to consider financial matters

People who are thinking of relocating to Spain have been urged to consider various financial issues such as tax.According to ShelterOffshore.com, this is essential for expatriates who wish to at least maintain the quality of life they are used to.The online portal stated that expatriates need to work out what their tax liability and outgoings will be.This, it said, means they will be able to budget for their move to the sun and see whether they can avoid compromising on their living standards.ShelterOffshore.com remarked: "Determine if you can afford to retire to Spain and reside in the manner to which you would like to become accustomed."The website added that Spain is currently very popular with expatriates from the UK, especially older people who want to spend their retirement in sunny climes.This comes after a recent poll of expatriates by NatWest revealed that the vast majority believe they are financially better off now that they live abroad.
Honesty Matters
2008-05-05 10:13:00
As you climb the pyramid the needs, your need for self fulfillment tends to force you to look at more refined ways of preserving your self-respect.  For instance, as you become financially secure, your thoughts move from worrying about the next paycheck, to less pressing concerns, such as what tennis racket you are going to buy this weekend.  With this rise in the quality of living comes a corresponding responsibility to broaden your skill-set and increase your inner harmony with yourself and your surroundings. One way to improve yourself in this matter is to focus on your honesty level.  When life is harder, it can actually be more practical to be dishonest about certain things.  For instance, if money is tight, sometimes it is necessary for some people to think they can skip paying the ticket to travel on the train to work some mornings.  Whilst this is wrong, you can understand that some people have more need to save that money for food.  Yet, when money is not a problem, i...
