“The Lamppost” blog by an Ontario English teacher

For some time now, I have had Brad W’s blog on my list of “education” favourites. I think it is time to feature him here and get him a bit of exposure. Brad is a high school English teacher somewhere in Ontario. His site is professional, precise, thorough and technologically advanced. In other words, his students and his colleagues are [...]

Not the old "dog ate my thesis"...

..."but, honestly, I'm good for it" defense..."Colleagues say that the reason Professor Phil Jones has refused Freedom of Information requests is that he may have actually lost the relevant papers."I'm thinkin'... if it didn't work in Mrs. Smith's fifth grade autocracy... should we really let this one slide?

From the Land of Klaus

Luboš Motl, Czech physicist, explains:As Reuters and the Czech media noticed today, the Czech grid is overloaded and the company in charge of it, ČEPS, is finalizing its plans to solve the situation.ČEPS urges the electricity distribution companies to halt the connecting of the new solar and wind plants. At the end of 2009, they were giving 600 MW to the grid. However, projects that would add a

In the bullpen

Just giving a quick shout-out to friend Ethan Rabidoux for creating and co-authoring the excellent In the Bullpen sports blog. Ethan and his colleagues have been updating it frequently (thus giving it an advantage over LC.com). They have some interesting takes on the NFL next season. Even though they picked the Colts to [...]

Timothy in Trouble

Never did like this guy ... and now there may be something concrete to hang my dislike on.A court will soon learn:Why he forced AIG to take on so much debt that AIG’s credit rating, already in peril, was sure to collapse without yet additional government funds, essentially guaranteeing AIG would remain a ward of the state? Why he imposed such Draconian terms on AIG that there was no way it could

Getting the boot in

The comments on Michael Mann’s Washington Post self-exculpation and Unterautobuswerfen (under-bussing) of his erstwhile friends and colleagues are all entertaining and instructive. Post after post digs the toe of the boot into this man. Hundreds of them. Scientists, lawyers and decent men and women like you and me. Mainstream newspaper, overwhelming response from the forces [...]

Token Tory on the CBC

Just as a warning to some of my BT colleagues, if you are invited onto Power and Politics to represent the voice of Conservative Bloggers, that is not necessarily a compliment. I know what message Evan wants to convey, and I don't expect he'd ever want the most agile right wing minds to represent the Blogging Tories in a televised debate. One of my goals in life is to get Evan fired. When I tune

I’m an AGW atheist

Religious fanaticism never did appeal to me: It may well be that Warmergate has come along too late. I won’t pretend to know the motivations of Jones, Mann and their colleagues, but judging from recent eco-advertising their work appears to have driven worshippers at the First Church of the Settled Scientist literally insane. [...] It’s A Warmerful Life: [...]

LSE to twin with Islamic University in Gaza....

I am sure they have a lot to learn from the Gazans...The London School of Economics (LSE) will be twinning its union with the Islamic University of Gaza, despite protests from students.A motion which called for the twinning was carried after 155 students voted in favour and 135 against in a debate organised by the university’s Palestine Society last week.The decision was made after an appeal by

Telling quote from “Whistle-blower” Richard Colvin’s colleague?

Reading today’s story on Richard Colvin, the Canadian diplomat who testified before the Commons Special Committee on the Canadian Mission in Afghanistan that Canadian-transferred detainees were all tortured in Afghan jails, I found quotes from an ex-colleague and friends very interesting: (see story here) “We have many of our colleagues who are driven by ego and [...]

The Ugly Little Secret in Point Form

Bishop Hill gives us a nice outline of the ugly:Phil Jones writes to University of Hull to try to stop sceptic Sonia Boehmer Christiansen using her Hull affiliation.

Not sure I understand how this works...

...but apparently, in Liberal Land... "ya dance wit' the one what backstabbed ya"..."I just spoke to Stephane," Ignatieff said Monday.

Prof Margaret Somerville on McGill's problems with free speech.

I can't find my friend and colleagues' letter on the online editionj of the Gazette( I have emailed the Gazette asking why), so Dr Somerville graciously sent me a scanned copy and the reply of someone who doesn't really understand free speech at all. It is yet again the Tyranny of Nice.
