Why French Parents Are Superior by Pamela Druckerman - WSJ.com
Could it be that teaching children how to delay gratification—as middle-class French parents do—actually makes them calmer and more resilient?
Might this partly explain why middle-class American kids, who are in general more used to getting what they want right away, so often fall apart under stress?

Global warming: James Delingpole claims green zealots are destroying the planet
Global warming: James Delingpole claims green zealots are destroying the planet Mail Online
The turning point towards some semblance of sanity in the great climate war came in November 2009 with the leak of the notorious Climategate emails from the University of East Anglia.
What these showed is that the so-called ‘consensus’ science behind Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) — ie the theory that man-made CO2 is causing our planet to heat up in a dangerous, unprecedented fashion — simply cannot be trusted....
But if anthropogenic warming is not the threat environmentalists would have us believe, why do so many people believe it is?
And how come so many disparate groups — from the hair-shirt anti-capitalist activists of Greenpeace and Friends Of The Earth to the executives of big corporations, to politicians of every hue from Gordon Brown to David Cameron to scientists at NASA and the UEA — are working together to promote this pernicious myth?
The short answer is ‘follow the money’.
Phil Jones, head of the Climatic Research Unit at the UEA which was at the centre of the ‘Climategate’ scandal, for example, was given £13.7 million in grants for his department’s research work; the environmental non-governmental organisations such as Greenpeace came on board because scaremongering helps them raise revenue.

Rosy jobs report a ruse
Rosy jobs report a ruse - NYPOST.com
A loss of jobs that isn’t as bad as expected turns into a job gain.
Does that mean there really are 243,000 new jobs out there?
Absolutely not.
Let’s say there are rumors in your company that 300 people are going to be laid off.
Instead, management decides to fire just 200.
Two hundred people, of course, have lost their jobs.
But, adjusting it for expectations, 100 people didn’t get fired.
Using this analogy, the government would say that, on an expectation-adjusted basis, 100 jobs were created.

The largest deficit recorded before that was $458 billion in 2008.

"Our goal should be to move from a carbon based to a nuclear based with hydrogen gas for all of our other needs. We will not get there by wasting time plugging in our cars or putting up wind mills and solar panels.
They just don't have the stones to do the job.
I've been in some very serious manufacturing plants. Not the cooks tour. The down and dirty kind. It takes raw power to make our factories hum. To tinker with this is suicide. If we want to do it on the margin to make some citizens feel less guilt and they want to pay for it. Fine. But to think we can base our economy on it is nuts.
If we can build a miniaturized nuclear reactor.
Put it to sea.
Have it dive down thousands of feet, and travel 90+ miles per hour, and do so silently.
Don't tell me we can't develop nuclear power on land and use that clean power to make hydrogen gas, and pipe that gas to stations for filling up our cars in the distant future.
The electric car is stupid.
It will end up being an environmental disaster.
Do you have any idea what it takes to manufacture a high capacity battery?
Holy cow!
Talk about environmental suicide.
I wish the Pipedream was true. It's a lie. Brought to you by the same political party that thought the federal government could run a medical insurance system while simultaneously running a pension system. Why would I let these people run a taco stand, even under a close supervision of the biggest mexican SOB I could find to make sure the feds made the taco just right.

Forget global warming - it's Cycle 25 we need to worry about (and if NASA scientists are right the Thames will be freezing over again) Mail Online
The supposed ‘consensus’ on man-made global warming is facing an inconvenient challenge after the release of new temperature data showing the planet has not warmed for the past 15 years.
The figures suggest that we could even be heading for a mini ice age to rival the 70-year temperature drop that saw frost fairs held on the Thames in the 17th Century.
Based on readings from more than 30,000 measuring stations, the data was issued last week without fanfare by the Met Office and the University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit.
It confirms that the rising trend in world temperatures ended in 1997.

The official unemployment rate may have fallen, slightly, but the real unemployment rate — the number of working-age Americans who aren’t working — rose from about 12% before the 2008 crisis, to about 23%, and hasn’t come down.
That includes people who have retired early because they can’t find work, spouses who used to earn a second income but have gone back to homemaking because work isn’t available, self-employed people whose businesses have collapsed, young people who live in their parents’ basement because they can’t afford tuition and can’t find work.

“That’s right; Reuters wrote that Rubio voted against Obamacare, but, as with Sotomayer’s nomination, he wasn’t in the Senate yet.
This kind of journalistic incompetence is stunning.
How can any reporter–here, David Adams of Reuters–write that Rubio voted a certain way, without even checking to make sure he was in office at the time?
And where did the false idea come from in the first place?”
Um, Media Matters, maybe? Just a wild guess . . . . Of course, calling this “incompetence” is charitable.

Factories in Asia "can scale up and down faster" and "Asian supply chains have surpassed what's in the U.S."
