RECOMMENDED READINGA mixed bag tonight as my progeny have worn me out and I cannot yet concentrate on my own writing, so I'm going where the mood strikes me:
Wiggins, the Wohlstetterian defense analyst at
Opposed System Design comments on the observations on strategy and theory made by
Sonny, the USAF blogger at
F-X Based.
Collounsbury and the merry band of Orientalists at
'Aqoul have dealt extensively with the
Wafa Sultan -Ibrahim al-Khouli exhange (
Eerie) and have provided the
full, translated, al-Jazeera transcript (
Meph) and followed up by
highlighting a related MEMRI disussion over at
Winds of Change (
Col ).
The
Drs. Eide at
The Eide Neurolearning Blog discuss the recent research
demonstrating different brain maturation rates between high and average IQ children ( fodder for
Dan's grad psych paper, I think).
Bruce Kesler at
Democracy Project has his own round-up of interesting things so instead of just stealing them shamelessly for a mere hat-tip, I'll just
link to his post and say " check it out" - particularly the csmonitor article and the bit on Sandy Berger copping to covering his ass by destroying classified historical records.
Dr. Lubos Motl on the
Clinton administration's role in killing the Superconducting Supercollider, which dealt a critical blow to American leadership in experimental physics.
Dave Dilegge, Editor-in-Chief of
The Small Wars Journal, points to his
top ten online military information resources, all of which and more can be found
here.
Ann Althouse on
blogging, political parties and the self-defeating, wingnut, behavior at Kos.
Simon at
Simon World posts on the
self-promotion of China's public security ministry ( can you imagine what the Soviet MVD would have been like with a blog ?) and
some American senators talking out of both sides of their mouth in China.
Jodi at
The Asia Pages takes
a hard look at the effects of Korea's education system which, like most Asian educational systems, stresses rigor at
the expense of creativity and
breadth.
That's it.
