In 2014 Ms. JD launched a series of pre-law programming to further develop resources for pre-law women. This programming aims to provide pre-law students with the resources they need to make an informed decision as to if law school is the right path for them. In addition to a weekly blog series on preparing for law school and navigating elements of the application process, Google Hangouts On Air, Twitter chats, and in-person panel events will provide pre-law women across the country with direct access to the Ms. JD Board of Directors, the Ms. JD Fellows, and the greater Ms. JD community of law students and legal professionals.
For those of you who are pre-law, let us knows what questions you have by tweeting @msjdorg using #msjdprelaw. For those of you who are law students or legal professionals, we invite you to tweet your pre-law insights using #msjdprelaw or share your pre-law journey on the blog.
Currently Ms. JD has the following resources for pre-law women.
- Ms. JD's Pre-Law Prep Guide provides guidance on making the decision to go to law school as well as tips on successfully preparing for and completing the law school application process.
- Ms. JD's Pre-Law Blog covers a variety of topics from taking an in depth look into each aspect of the application process, to highlighting the doors that having a JD can open.
- Members of Ms. JD's Board of Directors have shared their pre-law insights in Google Hangouts. You can watch Part I here and Part II here.
- Ms. JD Fellows Present: Acing Law School was written by the 2013-2014 Ms. JD Fellows, a diverse group of women law students from across the country who are dedicated to advancing the status of women in the profession. On June 1, 2014 several of the Ms. JD Fellows shared their pre-law and law school insights in a Google Hangout. Not sure where to start? Take a look at the First Generation Law Students and The Straight Out of Undergrad Law Student chapters.

Comedian Vickie Shaw is one of our favorite entertainers with Olivia. She has made women of Olivia laugh for over 20 years. Her "take no prisoners" (she's southern) style of comedy is incredibly hilarious and she takes you on a gut-busting journey of extreme humor. She has traveled the U.S. and the world (mostly with Olivia) making people all over the globe laugh until they cry! You've seen her on television, Comedy Central, four comedy specials on LOGO, Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen, and movies (Laughing Matters More), as well as benefits, fundraisers and numerous Pride events all over the U.S. You don't want to miss this incredible entertainer.
Gina was born and raised in London UK, of Nigerian parents, and previously worked as an elevator engineer for Otis.
She has been a stand up and TV star in the UK for several years now, with appearances on iconic TV shows such as Live at the Apollo and Mock the Week, as well as creating and performing popular comedic characters on The Lenny Henry Show.
Gina broke onto the American comedy scene with her appearances on Last Comic Standing (NBC), where she made it to the final 10, and then never went home!
Gina went on to be named one of the top 10 rising talents in the Hollywood Reporter. She is also known in the U.S. for being the only British comedian to ever appear on the iconic Def Comedy Jam, as well as for her appearances on The Tonight Show (NBC), Crashing (HBO), @Midnight (Comedy Central), and her one-hour Stand Up Special, Skinny B*tch (Showtime).
She recently shot her 3rd Stand Up Special, Gina Yashere: Ticking Boxes, which was filmed at the iconic 02 Academy, London, in front of over 2,000 of her fans, and is currently streaming on Seeso TV in the US.
Gina has performed for audiences not just in Europe, the U.S. and Australia, but she is in fact, a highly sought after comedian in Asia, making numerous sold out appearances in Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Hong Kong.
Gina currently resides in New York and tours non-stop around the world.
Raised by a wild pack of Jews, otherwise known as her mother and two siblings, veteran comedian Dana Goldberg is a force of nature on stage. With performances at the San Francisco International Comedy Competition, The Comedy Festival produced by TBS and HBO, and the Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland; her quick wit and playful stage presence have her earning loyal fans across the country and abroad. A crowd favorite, Goldberg has become a triple threat combining her comedy, hosting, and writing talents to become one of the most sought after entertainers on the circuit. Voted one of the "Top Five Funniest Lesbians in America," Curve magazine raves, "Goldberg is one of the brightest lights in a stellar comedy landscape." Advocate.com named Goldberg one of the top three LGBT comedians in the nation.
In addition to headlining clubs, theaters and festivals around the country, Goldberg has performed at and emceed dozens of high profile events and has shared the national stage with luminaries such as President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, former President Bill Clinton, Kerry Washington, Jennifer Lopez, John Lithgow, Alfred Molina, Jennifer Hudson, Sir Elton John, Mariah Carey, Shonda Rhimes, and many more. Combining her gift of humor with humanitarian efforts, Goldberg has helped to raise over three million dollars for non-profits around the country in the fight for marriage equality, LGBT rights, women's rights, and HIV and AIDS education and prevention.
Audiences go into a frenzy when C.C. Carter "Struts" her full-figured body across the stage, scatting hip-hop and spoken word that boast of her voluptuousness. Her raw and piercing poetry has landed her National Slam titles including the 5th Annual Gwendolyn Brooks Open Mic Competition and the Behind Our Mask 1st Annual Slam.
She is a favorite at music festivals and women's spaces everywhere. The multicultural Wordstress fuses her craft of poetry with the harsh realities of Living Large in a Shrinking America – the title of her nationally acclaimed one- woman show. This show is a favorite for Love Your Body and Pre-Vday events on college and university campuses.
Her poetry has been nominated for a Lambda Literary Award for best lesbian poetry and she was inducted into the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame for Arts and Entertainment. Women's Studies Departments, African American and LGBTQ student unions often collaborate to bring her to their colleges and universities. She's a triple threat that speaks across a myriad of demographics and diversities
Whether performing or emceeing in front of thousands, doing informal readings at book stores, conducting master classes on performance poetry or giving lectures on the "isms" faced by a multicultural, lesbian, full figured femme spoken word artist, C.C. Carter delivers a profound performance every time.
She has quickly become a favorite act to book for – Black History Month, Women's History Month, National Poetry Month, Pride and LGBTQ events.
Born and raised in Queens, NY, DJ Rockaway has been bringing her passion and love for music to dance floors for over a decade performing for audiences in the U.S. and internationally. From nightclubs on both the east and west coasts, to private weddings and events, she is a regular DJ on Olivia cruise and resort vacations and DJ's for national non-profit events such as NCLR, HRC and Equality California, to name a few. She is the founder of PLAY San Francisco and PLAY San Jose, which are monthly events for women who love to dance. A true New Yorker (just listen to her talk), DJ Rockaway's unique mix of music styles – dance, hip-hop, R&B, house, club, retro – allows her to play to all who love to dance and feel the music. For DJ Rockaway, music is more than a blend of sounds, music is an experience – she wants you to feel it, live it, escape into it.
If there is just one thing in this world to bring people together, it's the power of music. Not many DJ/Producers can say they've got what it takes to break through the subtle music barriers between several diverse groups, but then again none of those DJ's are DJ Citizen Jane. The Cuban American, Miami born Pied Piper of the decks has been whistling her own unique tune and now is the most in-demand female DJ in the country. Her resume reads like a circuit party passport that keeps growing every year.
Her ability to read and keep a crowd going is her signature, and what has allowed her to obtain resident DJ and headliner DJ billing at the hottest clubs, venues and musical festivals in the US, Canada, Australia, Europe and beyond - including headliner for LIVE Nation events and performer at the "World's Most Famous Arena" Madison Square Garden. Citizen Jane is the 2014 & 2015 Pink Flamingo awards winner for "Favorite DJ," an honor solely voted by the public. On the 2015 ballot, Citizen Jane was the lone woman, beating out Grammy award winning DJ's for the coveted award two years in a row. In 2016 Citizen Jane was the only woman DJ on the 2016 Folsom Fair bill, an event women are rarely invited to spin on. She turned it out with a hugely successful set at the crown night event "Magnitude". 2017 already has Citizen Jane headlining Australia's largest Pride "Mardi Gras." Her love of music extends beyond her high-energy DJ beats, leading her to become one of the most in demand International DJ/Producers on the DJ scene today.
All guests traveling with Olivia must be 21 years or older.

Attack on Coruscant (New Sith Wars)

- "Coruscant has not been attacked in over one thousand years!"
"Then it has a false sense of security." - ―Lott Dod and Nix Card
This attack on the planet Coruscant was an event during the New Sith Wars.
This attack was significant enough to prompt Trade Federation Senator Lott Dod to recall it during a debate with fellow conspirators on how to get the Galactic Senate to vote for the deregulation of banks. Dod found the idea of staging an attack so significant, he brought up that the last time Coruscant was attacked was over 1,000 years in the past. Nix Card replied that this long era of peace made the Coruscanti complacent and would make the attack more effective.

Sue Tame - Australia - Jan 9, 2013 "(ReviewCenter/info@alexandiggy) Fantastic! Here was the feedback from the recipient: " they did such a nice job of stacking up the chocolate boxes and wrapping with a nice red ribbon and gift card - it was very professional and nicely done". Easy for me because I did not have the hassle of having to pack it and mail it to Japan myself (expensive). " A Walker - USA - Jul 13, 2015 "Even though I did not give GiftBasketoverseas 3 full business days to deliver to Brazil, they made an extra effort to get the gift on time for my mother-in-laws birthday. I was doubtful they could do it, but they came through fantastically providing regular updates and a courtesy email upon delivery. My wife said that my mother-in-law cried when she received the gift and said that the presentation was beautiful. They definitely exceeded expectations."

The rapping pup, PaRappa, dreams of impressing his friend, the beautiful Sunny Funny, and going out on a date with her. But what he lacks is confidence - help PaRappa rap his way through learning Kung Fu, a driving test, cooking and more, all in order to get the girl. And remember - You Gotta Believe!PaRappa the Rapper is a game based on lyrics, music and rhythm. The game itself is very basic - each stage has a 'teacher', that PaRappa must follow. You'll see the teacher say some lyrics, and then PaRappa must copy the teacher by pressing the appropriate buttons to repeat those lyrics back. Rap well, and you'll be able to continue; fudge up the lyrics, and the music will start to distort and the teacher will become displeased. Continue to mess up and you'll fail the stage.
Of course, the goal is not to copy the teacher, but instead to outperform them - you can do this by improvising in the song's gaps. Listen to how the song goes, and improvise in time to the music; if you perform well enough, the teacher will step aside, leaving you to freestyle on your own!
The PSP version of the game is a remake of the PlayStation original. However, it includes a few upgrades, such as a 16:9 display, sharper graphics, game sharing, multiplayer support of up to four players, and the addition of song remixes, which can be downloaded via the internet onto your Memory Stick Duo.

I order this dress in a large. I am usually a small but since the fabric has no stretch I wanted to leave room since my boobs are a 32DDD. There is a wire in the bottom. I cut it out. This dress for great but I did have it taken in at the ribs for a more tight fit.
You will definitely enjoy this dress! The material is thicker (which I like because I get cold easily), but it is very durable and feels well made. The wire skirt takes a little getting used to, but its really to hold the flare of the skirt, so I didn't mind. I was very comfortable in the dress and got A LOT of compliments. I ordered a size Small.
It's more floppy and size is too large.
This dress is great! The material is stiff almost like wet suit material. The edge of the skirt is wired so it stays flared. Really fun dress.

I ordered a Zatoichi Samurai Sword and when it arrived i noticed the box had been damaged. After opening it, I found
out that the sword had a 'ding' in it and was slightly bent. I called Swords of Honor and they immediately issued a call tag for UPS to come pick it up and sent me a new one (which arrived perfectly).

New CA Court of Appeal Decision Shows Need for Federal Anti-SLAPP Legislation
The California Court of Appeal for the 2nd District issued a decision throwing out a defamation suit that appears to be a blatant SLAPP. In this case, a university accused a news broadcast of defaming them over a news program entitled "Degree Factory Confers Doctorate Degrees even to Persons who Plagiarize." Because no anti-SLAPP motion was filed in the case, it dragged on from January 2008 – October 2011, until the Court of Appeal ultimately ruled that the speech was constitutionally protected. While it is not clear why an anti-SLAPP motion was not filed in this case, the length of this case shows how long these types of defamation suits can drag on when there is no anti-SLAPP motion filed. States that have no anti-SLAPP laws continuously see cases of this nature dragging on for years, showing the need for federal anti-SLAPP legislation.

NRC nuke review coming
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission could unveil its 90-day staff review of the country's 104 reactors as soon as Wednesday.
President Obama ordered the review in the wake of March's nuclear disaster at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi power plant. It's the first of a two-part review of U.S. reactor safety. The NRC will conduct a longer, six-month review after the 90-day review is complete.
In an interview with The Hill Monday, NRC Chairman Gregory Jaczko called on his fellow commissioners to make decisions on all of the recommendations in the 90-day review within an additional three months of the report's release.
The Hill will have more from its exclusive interview with Jaczko later in the week.
Exxon executive to testify on Yellowstone River spill
Capitol Hill inquiries into Exxon Mobil's Montana oil spill are expanding.
A panel of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee will hear testimony from a top Exxon executive Thursday on an oil spill resulting from a break in one of the company's pipelines.
The spill, which Exxon estimates dumped as many as 40,000 gallons of oil in Montana's Yellowstone River, has raised the ire of environmental groups and Montana officials.
The country's top pipeline regulator, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration Administrator Cynthia Quarterman, will testify at the hearing, along with National Wildlife Federation Senior Scientist Douglas Inkley.
The hearing was requested by Rep. Denny Rehberg (R-Mont.).
Oxfam to SEC: Hang tough against oil companies
Oxfam America is ramping up pressure on the Securities and Exchange Commission to finalize a rule that mandates oil and mining company disclose their payments to foreign governments.
The humanitarian group is battling oil companies that are seeking exemptions from the transparency rule, which is aimed at ending the "resource curse" in which energy- and mineral-rich nations are plagued by high levels of corruption, conflict and poverty.
Oxfam will begin running ads Wednesday that call on the SEC to issue strong transparency rules.
They are timed to coincide with this month's first anniversary of the Dodd-Frank law, which mandated the requirements.
The group also has an online campaign that allows people to email the American Petroleum Institute urging the powerful trade group to abandon its push for oil company exemptions from the disclosure requirements.
Several major oil companies are seeking to limit the scope of the rules in various ways (check out our coverage here and here).
"The SEC must not give in to the wishes of companies that don't want to follow the new law," said Ian Gary, policy manager of Oxfam's oil and mining program.
White House threatens to veto GOP water bill
The White House threatened Tuesday to veto Republican-backed legislation that would limit the federal government's ability to set water quality standards.
The legislation, authored by Rep. John Mica (R-Fla.), would prevent the Environmental Protection Agency from setting water quality standards in the event that state standards are lacking.
The bill "could result in adverse impacts to human health, the economy, and the environment through increased pollution and degradation of water bodies that serve as venues for recreation and tourism, and that provide drinking water sources and habitat for fish and wildlife," the White House said in a statement of administration policy Tuesday.
The House will begin considering the bill Wednesday.
House energy panel votes to delay EPA power plant rules
The House Energy and Commerce Committee approved legislation Tuesday that would mandate a new interagency panel to review the economic effect of several EPA rules that Republicans and some Democrats call burdensome.
The committee adopted an amendment en route to passage that would delay a pair of power plant pollution rules until six months after the interagency panel submits its report.
The amendment would delay planned rules to curb mercury and other toxics from power plants, and a recently finalized rule that sets new limits on sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from power plant smokestacks in 27 Eastern states.
The amendment and overall bill cleared the panel largely along party lines, though a handful of conservative Democrats — including Jim MathesonJim MathesonWork begins on T infrastructure plan New president, new Congress, new opportunity First black GOP woman in Congress wins reelection MORE (D-Utah), Mike Ross (D-Ark.) and Gene GreenGene GreenLobbying World A guide to the committees: House Overnight Healthcare: Trump officials weigh fate of birth control mandate | House, DOJ seek delay in ObamaCare lawsuit MORE (D-Texas) — backed both.
Lawmakers, groups launch 'enhanced oil recovery' initiative
While lawmakers battle over whether to open more lands to drilling companies, a new initiative aims to wrest more oil from areas where development already occurs — and maybe help prevent the planet from overheating.
Several lawmakers and groups launched a campaign Tuesday to develop policies that foster "enhanced oil recovery" methods using carbon dioxide. Using the CO2 injections to improve yields from existing oil fields is seen as a way to boost U.S. production while stocking a greenhouse gas away underground.
Lawmakers supporting the new National Enhanced Oil Recovery Initiative include Sen. Kent Conrad (D-N.D.), John HoevenJohn HoevenSenate panel considers how to fund Trump's T infrastructure package A guide to the committees: Senate GOP senators unveil bill to give Congress control of consumer bureau budget MORE (R-N.D.) and John BarrassoJohn BarrassoHow 'Big Pharma' stifles pharmaceutical innovation Making water infrastructure a priority Overnight Energy: Trump's Keystone XL approval coming soon MORE (R-Wyo.), among others.
The Great Plains Institute and the Pew Center on Global Climate Change are facilitating the effort. Experts from a range of companies (such as Exxon Mobil), states, green groups and other organizations are taking part. The initiative is aimed at creating recommendations by early next year for state and federal policymakers on ramping up enhanced oil recovery.
House panel to mark up drilling, renewable energy bills
The House Natural Resources Committee will mark up several bills.
They include a measure to expedite oil-and-gas drilling in the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska and several bills to knock down what Republicans call red tape impeding renewable energy projects on federal lands and offshore.
Summit to explore energy security
Wednesday brings the National Summit on Energy Security, convened by the group Securing America's Future Energy. Experts appearing include Dennis Blair, the former director of national intelligence, FedEx CEO Fred Smith, Bush-era White House spokesman Ari Fleischer.
Forum to review 'smart grid' efforts
The National Town Meeting on Demand Response and Smart Grid gets rolling Wednesday. Speakers include FERC Chairman Jon Wellinghoff and Sen. Mark UdallMark UdallGorsuch's critics, running out of arguments, falsely scream 'sexist' Election autopsy: Latinos favored Clinton more than exit polls showed Live coverage: Tillerson's hearing for State MORE (D-Colo.).
Energy Department fracking panel to gather
Wednesday also features the latest meeting of an Energy Department advisory panel reviewing ways to improve the safety of the natural gas development method called hydraulic fracturing.
Offshore safety in focus
Outside Washington, the Interior Department's Ocean Energy Safety Advisory Committee will hold its second meeting. The panel — which was established as part of the federal response to the BP oil spill — will gather in New Orleans.
House panel works through coal ash bill
The House Energy and Commerce Committee will mark up a bill that would prevent EPA from regulating waste products from coal-fired power plants — called coal combustion residuals — under the hazardous waste title of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.
Here's a quick roundup of Tuesday's E2 stories:
- Appropriators battle over Grand Canyon

Plymouth automobile enthusiasts have come to expect a certain level of dependability when driving their Horizon around town. Make no mistake, you bought your Horizon because you wanted to buy a variety of special features and American style both rolled up into one vehicle. You bought your Horizon because its dependability and economical pricing appealed to your senses; so why would you settle for anything but the best when it comes to superior quality auto parts? Anyone who drives a Plymouth knows that when it comes to fixing their automobile only the highest quality replacement parts will do.
Your Plymouth Horizon disc brake pads evolved from an experimental method of braking pioneered by the racing teams of Europe in the early 20th century. They deliver better stopping power and more reliable braking than the brake shoes from decades before. You will find your vehicle's brake pads in the caliper situated around a portion of your brake rotor. When you depress your brake pedal hydraulic pressure is sent to the caliper, and it presses the disc brake pads against the rotor surface causing heat and friction. This thermal reaction slows your car or truck down, and eventually brings it to a stop.
At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents available with enough expertise to help you purchase the correct Plymouth Horizon part for your project or repair. Procuring new Plymouth parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are getting the best deal on the most superior original and aftermarket replacement Horizon parts on the internet. Make all your future car parts purchases at carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. Need 1990, 1989, 1988, 1987, 1986, 1985, 1984, 1983 Plymouth Horizon Disc Brake Pads parts? We've got them right here.

New americana - Halsey
New Americana - Halsey
Being ranked as one of the worst performers of the first Coachella weekend by the most renowned blogs, maybe Halsey is not at her best moment in terms of popularity, but I can't deny I am quite liking getting to know her music, and this is one of my favourites so far! Today I spent the day going to Luino, a (not that) small town on the lake up close to the Swiss border, as one of my best friends has just finished working there. My father used to work there and my uncle's family lives there, so I have a few links with it but never really got the chance/willingness to go there as far as my adult mind can remember. I spent a very nice day, with the bluest spring sky you can think of and in good company, and it's nice to get to know better the area around my hometown before leaving once again!

Five Years!
5 November 2013
Today I celebrate the fifth anniversary of this blog. I hope you will join me in toasting the end of another year and the beginning of a new year of blogging and ideas.
When I started this blog it was something of a spontaneous amusement, an impulse. My posts were short, simple and required little or no research. I purposefully wrote about matters that interest me while avoiding the "important" ideas I kept in my notebooks for book projects, which I saw at that time the primary beneficiaries of my intellectual effort.
Over time, the blog posts expanded, became longer and more detailed, and required more research. I still save aside material I plan to put into manuscripts, but the topics with which I began — mostly strategy and civilization — now have a much higher profile in my thought and are at least equal beneficiaries of my intellectual effort. In retrospect, I'm glad that I started to write about civilization here, as these thoughts have expanded over time and have pushed me unexpectedly in interesting directions.
With my posts getting longer, I have been posting far less often — once or twice a week. I've also been blogging at Tumblr, which has a very different demographic (meaning that I reach a different crowd there than I do by blogging here on WordPress). Also, in the past year I've had posts appear on the Transhumanity blog and on Paul Gilster's Centauri Dreams blog (where, by the way, another post by me is scheduled to appear this coming Friday).
Over the past year the hits to my blog took a major hit, and I have gone from an average of nearly two thousand hits per day to an average of around four hundred or fewer per day. Interestingly, most of the lost traffic seems to have been image searches, so the few of you who come here to read and to reflect is perhaps about the same number as in earlier years.
I guess you could say that I write for my handful of subscribers — those few who return to read, spending precious and irretrievable moments of life to find something in what I have spent precious and irretrievable moments of life to write. That is a fair bargain — a part of my life for a part of your life — and as there are few fair bargains in the world today, I should count myself fortunate (which I do).
Nietzsche wrote, "…everywhere else I have my readers — nothing but first-rate intellects and proven characters, trained in high positions and duties; I even have real geniuses among my readers. In Vienna, in St. Petersburg, in Stockholm, in Copenhagen, in Paris, in New York — everywhere I have been discovered; but not in the shallows of Europe, Germany." (Ecce Homo)
Nietzsche could perhaps speak in the plural; I must speak in the singular. I may not have readers (in the plural) in these celebrated cultural capitals of the world, but I do know from my statistics (which show repeat visits) that I have a reader in Invercargill, Southland, New Zealand, and in Mercer Island, Washington; in Washington D.C. at the Catholic University of America, and a reader in Groningen in the Netherlands; I have a reader in that ancient center of Western civilization, Greece, and in the ancient centers of learning in Paris, France, and Oxford, England; I have a reader in the Balkans, in Belgrade, Serbia, and elsewhere in the Balkans in Skopje, Macedonia; I even have a reader in Hillsboro, Oregon, just minutes away from my office, as well as a reader elsewhere in the Pacific Northwest, in Vancouver, British Columbia.
To all of you — those who return, and those who stop by only a single time — my thanks.

Four More Years!
5 November 2012
Today marks the four year anniversary of Grand Strategy: The View from Oregon, so I would like to invite my readers to celebrate the occasion with me. And I have been given a gift for my four year anniversary. In the US, the traditional four year anniversary gift is linen and silk (elsewhere in the Anglophone world, it's fruit and flowers in the UK). Well, I didn't receive linen or silk, fruit or flowers, and, no, I didn't get the brand new Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale that's on my wish list, but I did have my statistics for visits recently pass the one million hits mark, which is the best gift for which I could reasonably hope.
My hits on Statcounter turned over a million on 28 October, while my hits on WordPress turned over a million on 30 October. Statcounter obviously counts a little differently, as I started it a year after I started this blog. I racked up about 30,000 hits the first year, so the Statcounter tallies don't even include this first year's worth of hits.
Also, Statcounter shows that my Tumblr blog only gets about one percent of the hits that my WordPress blog receives. I don't doubt that there is a big difference in traffic between the two, but I know that a lot of Tumblr hits go uncounted because there are times when a post gets "liked" or "reblogged" on Tumblr when Statcounter has not recorded any hits to the post in question. On the other hand, the hits that Statcounter does record to my Tumblr blog come with a lot more detail than the recorded hits to my WordPress blog. For example, Statcounter will sometimes show me what search engine was used to find a post, what search terms were used, and what position in the search returns my post had. This has been a fascinating feature to me, and a surprising one. Some Tumblr posts that have never tallied a hit earlier through Statcounter come up at the number one search return for a particular set of terms.
What does a million hits really mean? Well, about 90 percent of all hits that this blog receives are the result of Google image searches, so it's mostly people looking for pictures. So a million hits means that maybe a hundred thousand people visited for something other than a photograph. Of that hundred thousand, probably only one in ten stayed to read something, so a million hits probably means about 10,000 readers — about one percent of the total. Still, that's not bad. As I've mentioned before, when you start from zero, everything above zero is pure gravy. I am a long way short of those websites that get a million hits in an hour, but I am a long way ahead in readership compared to before this blog.
For the "one percenters" out there who paused to read, possibly to reflect, occasionally to respond, and perhaps also to point and laugh, you have my thanks and my gratitude. I'll keep writing, and I hope you'll keep reading.
Fate willing, I look forward to four more years.

What is strategic trust?
16 February 2012
We have all heard the slogans of contemporary diplomacy — "peaceful rise," "responsible stakeholder," and the rest — and now it seems that we have a new diplomatic euphemism: strategic trust. Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping gave a speech shortly after his arrival in the US for an official visit in which he prominently employed the phrase. I have not been able to find a reliable full text of the speech online, but here are some excerpts:
"For us, strategic trust is the foundation for mutually beneficial cooperation, and greater trust will lead to broader cooperation."
"We in China hope to work with the U.S. side to maintain close high-level exchanges. We hope to increase dialogue and exchange of views with the United States by making full use of our channels of communication, including the Strategic and Economic Dialogues, cultural and people-to-people exchanges, and military-to-military exchanges…"
"By doing so, we can better appreciate each other's strategic intentions and development goals, avoid misinterpretation and misjudgment, build up mutual understanding and strategic trust, and on that basis, fully tap our cooperation potential."
And this from Chinese VP calls for deeper strategic mutual trust with U.S.:
"The development of cooperative partnership could be guaranteed only when the two sides view each other's strategic intention and development path in a correct and objective way, respect each other's core interests and accommodate each other's major concerns, avoid making troubles for each other and do not cross over each other's bottom lines…"
It might be unwise to read too much into these statements, since this was, after all, a highly publicized political speech. There was an interesting sketch of Xi Linping at Foreign Policy, Empty Suit: Xi Jinping is just another Communist Party hack by Yu Jie, that gives some context, and some weeks earlier, also on Foreign Policy, there was this highly entertaining piece, Hu Jintao on China losing the culture wars by Isaac Stone Fish, in which the author quotes this from Hu Jintao:
"Only if we resolutely follow the guidance of Marxism, and let the advanced culture of socialism guide the way, will we be able to lay the foundation for the cultural development of socialism with Chinese characteristics."
And then notes:
"Every year Chinese press wonders why their country can't seem to win a Nobel Prize in literature or peace; ironically, in most cases banned from mentioning dissident writer Gao Xingjian, who won in 2000, or Liu Xiaobo, who won last year."
We have, of course, seen this before. During the Cold War, the Soviet Bloc countries placed a great deal of emphasis upon winning medals at the Olympics, since this is politically non-controversial, even while the greatest writers and artists were harrassed, jailed, and sent to gulags. Every authoritarian state that seeks to control expression runs into this same difficulty.
Nevertheless, the idea of strategic trust is interesting on its own merits, whatever Xi Linping may have meant by it. Vice President Linping gave a fairly detailed sketch of how he would go about cultivating strategic trust, and I will certainly agree that maintaining both broad and deep communication over the long term will likely achieve something like this — although one may well wonder how broad and deep communication can be maintained with the Great Firewall of China intervening between the two countries, and with a vigorous Chinese censorship regime empowered to unilaterally delete content (sort of like Twitter has now empowered itself to act).
Some time ago, in On a Definition of Grand Strategy, I examined a conception of grand strategy has a certain amount of currency, and then went on to suggest that one of the functions of grand strategy is to make certain policies and practices thinkable or unthinkable:
Grand strategy, like ethics, not only both forbids and enjoins certain actions and classes of actions, but it also shapes our thinking, making certain options unthinkable while making other options possible. Alternative grand strategies may pick out different courses of action as unthinkable or possible. We recall that throughout the latter half of the twentieth century, all-out nuclear war was often simply referred to as "the unthinkable," but there were people who did not see things that way at all. Castro is supposed to have urged Khrushchev to launch a nuclear strike, even if it meant the annihilation of Cuba, rather than back down in the Cuban missile crisis. For Castro, at this point in his life, nuclear war as in no sense unthinkable (I have read somewhere recently that he has since changed his mind).
With this sense of grand strategy in mind, we could characterize two distinct nation-states (or, more generally, political entities, whether state or non-state) as sharing a grand strategic vision if they share common conceptions of what is thinkable and that is unthinkable. Another way to put this would be to say that political entities share a grand strategic vision if they share political presuppositions.
Now, it is true that Xi Linping spoke in terms of strategy rather than grand strategy, so we need to take a step own in generality toward greater specificity to do justice to his remarks. I don't think very many people would suppose that China and the US, representing profoundly different traditions of civilization, would ever substantially share a grand strategic vision on the level of common political presuppositions. Indeed, this is precisely what divides China and the US, and makes communication difficult — not impossible, but difficult, which means that an effort must be made, and even when an effort is made, misunderstanding will persist and can only be address by further communicative efforts.
It is, however, entirely possible (and, moreover, possible by the concrete means that Linping suggests) that China and the US could share substantial presuppositions on a strategic level short of grand strategy: mutual economic growth, rule of law, global political stability, avoidance of catastrophic military conflicts, the restriction of conflict to localized proxy wars conducted below the nuclear threshold, and so forth. All of these same elements were present during detente with the Soviet Union.
Such an arrangement is not only possible, but mutually beneficial. Strategic trust, then, would be a trust of each nation-state in the other that the other recognizes the mutually beneficial condition of shared strategic presuppositions, and will seek to perpetuate this arrangement.
What are the challenges to maintaining such strategic trust? Under the above-named conditions, there will always be a tension between strategy and grand strategy. Part of strategic trust would be trust in your strategic partner to remain focused on strategy and to allow grand strategy to take a distant second place. This is all about maintaining a mutually agreeable status quo, and maintaining a mutually agreeable status quo would be all about de-emphasizing, and perhaps even suppressing, revolutionary movements and macro-scopic social change that could upset the strategic apple cart.
Under these conditions, the US would continue to talk about Tibet and Taiwan, but would take no action beyond its existing commitments to Taiwan, while China would be careful not to use its growing economic influence to push the US out of its established positions of power. Like detente with the Soviet Union, all of this is doable, and perhaps it even represents the most likely short- and medium-term future, but it leaves open certain difficult questions like, for example, the Pacific theater…

Choke Points and Grand Strategy
23 December 2010
I am going to return to an implied definition of grand strategy found in Dr. Patrick Porter's The Offshore Balancer in his post Lecture Notes: Grand Strategy. Here is a quote from that post, which I also quoted previously:
In a meeting with General Petraeus, the US commander in Iraq, presidential candidate Obama said
'My job, if I have the honour of being commander in chief, is going to be to look at the whole picture. I expect you, as the commander of our forces in Iraq, to ask for everything you need and more to ensure your success. That's what you owe the troops who are under your command. My job is… I've got to choose. Because I don't have infinite resources.'
That's it right there, and with that we can probably knock it on the head for an early lunch. But I probably should run out the clock with some details.
I previously wrote about this in On a Definition of Grand Strategy, where I focused on the role a strategic vision has not only in terms of eliminating or passing over certain alternatives, but also in formulating or settling upon certain alternatives. Like a system of ethics, that not only enjoins us to desist from certain activities but also requires us to perform certain activities, grand strategy is not purely negative; it too, like ethics, does render some alternatives unthinkable, but at the same time it renders other alternatives "thinkable" that might be unthinkable for others. For example, the Final Solution was part of Nazi grand strategy, and while for us The Holocaust is a paradigm of the unthinkable, in the context of Nazi ideology it was not only thinkable but practicable, and so the Nazis bequeathed to history genocide's proof of concept.
Today I want to address a different aspect of the above implied (though not explicit) definition of grand strategy. Specifically, I want to discuss the strategic role of finite resources, which is central to the above quote. Previously I focused on choices, because I wanted to show that our strategic choices (both positive and negative) are conditioned by our strategic vision, and, even more broadly, by the conception of history that furnishes our Weltanschauung (what Foucault called an epistêmê and Kuhn called a paradigm). Although strategic choices are central, no less central is resource allocation. In the implicit definition above, we are forced to make choices because our resources are finite. This implies that, if only our resources were not finite, we might not have to make these choices. Thus resource allocation is more fundamental than the choices it seems to force upon us, because the finitude of resources is the reason for the choice, and not vice versa.
During the First World War, this conception of resource allocation — the limitations forced upon us by finitude — was central to the thinking of battlefield commanders. It was also ruinous. This was not only the First World War but was also the First Industrialized War. There were intimations of industrialized carnage earlier in the Russo-Japanese War, in which machine guns were extensively employed, but contemporary commanders learned little from the war, and so it had little strategic influence. I have also pointed out that the First World War was a war of Mass Man, and this was expressed strategically by the central role that mobilization played in all the great powers' war plans prior to the war. (See Unintended Consequences of Enlightenment Universalism)
During the First World War (and certainly not only during the First World War), commanders pervasively framed their plans to civilian leaders as being contingent upon more men and more shells. The central idea was if only a commander could get a sufficient number of men and HE shells, they would have sufficient mass (in the sense that "mass" is used in the principles of war, in contradistinction to economy of forces) for a breakthrough. (Falkenhayn even referred to this as a "mass breakthrough," thus emphasizing the mass character of mass warfare — see the Falkenhayn quote below. NB: here we are not using "mass" in the sense of the principles of war.)
Another expression of this line of thought was Verdun. The Battle of Verdun was conceived by Falkenhayn with the objective of "bleeding France white." As Falkenhayn put it to Kaiser Wilhelm II:
"The string in France has reached breaking point. A mass break-through — which in any case is beyond our means — is unnecessary. Within our reach there are objectives for the retention of which the French General Staff would be compelled to throw in every man they have. If they do so the forces of France will bleed to death."
That is to say, Falkenhayn knew that France's manpower was limited, and that if it could be exhausted by being bled white, Germany could win. Falkenhayn was, in a sense, successful, perhaps too successful, because the same calculus of finitude that applied to France also applied to Germany, and The Battle of Verdun proved to be an equal opportunity slaughterhouse, consuming French and Germans alike, and almost at the same rate.
Some of the first intimations of maneuver warfare in its contemporary form emerged from straitened circumstances that forced commanders to work with limited resources. The well-known Brusilov Offensive on the Eastern Front was effective because Brusilov knew that his shells were limited, so instead of a barrage that lasted for days, there was a short, sharp barrage (kept short to minimize the use of shells) followed by an infantry advance. The advance was more successful than most infantry advances during the First World War because the element of surprise had been retained. Brusilov's Order of Battle was also governed by similar considerations of finite resources. Once Brusilov's successes got the attention of Moscow, Brusilov was given more men and more shells, and he returned to the same errors of other commanders during the war. No longer forced to be creative, and expecting a never-ending supply of men and shells, he planned as though resources were unlimited, and then he began to fail.
To act as though one had unlimited resources at one's command suggests certain approaches to warfighting, but a careful examination of the historical record shows that the assumptions upon which the unlimited approach is predicated are not always borne out in fact. There are many situations, both tactical and strategic, when unlimited resources would not change the outcome of an engagement. These are typically referred to as "choke points" or "bottlenecks."
The most famous example of a choke point in military history is the Battle of Thermopylae, when a Greek force of about 7,000 held off a Persian army that may have had as many as a million men. The Greeks eventually lost the battle, which culminated in the last stand of King Leonidas with his three hundred Spartans (the subject of a recent film), but the ability of the Greeks to hold back a far larger force for a week was due to the pass of Thermopylae being a geographical choke point, where only a few men could fight shoulder-to-shoulder. Even if the Persians had had two or three million soldiers available, or an unlimited number of soldiers available, they would not have taken the pass any quicker than they did.
Another geographical choke point is the Fulda Gap in Germany, which was central to NATO planning during the Cold War. The Fulda Gap is one of the few places that the Warsaw Pact could have employed its superior number of tanks in an invasion of Western Europe. More recently, the Pankisi Gorge has been a focus of strategic thinking in the Caucasus, being a potential transshipment opportunity between Russia and the Middle East. As a pass within a mountainous region, it is the choke point of the Caucasus.
Perhaps more familiar than geographical choke points are naval choke points. Wikipedia gives a list of these as follows: Hormuz Strait between Oman and Iran at the entrance to the Persian Gulf, Strait of Malacca between Singapore and Indonesia, Bab-el-Mandeb passage from the Arabian Sea to the Red Sea, Panama Canal and the Panama Pipeline connecting the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, Suez Canal and the Sumed Pipeline connecting the Red Sea and Mediterranean Sea, The Turkish Straits/Bosporus linking the Black Sea (and oil coming from the Caspian Sea region) to the Mediterranean, The Strait of Gibraltar, Cape Horn, and The Cape of Good Hope. This list could easily be expanded. For example, the Battle of Tsushima during the Russo-Japanese War took place in the Tsushima Strait, which is a regional naval choke point.
No less significant than geographical or naval choke points are temporal or historical choke points. While the term "choke point" implies obstruction rather than facilitation, the temporal equivalent of a choke point we know as a "window of opportunity," and this implies facilitation rather than obstruction. But facilitation and obstruction are two sides of the same coin, like the above mentioned distinction between choices facilitated (rendered thinkable) by a given strategic vision and choices obstructed (rendered unthinkable) by a given strategic vision. In both cases we have alternative formulations of the same state of affairs.
Spatial and temporal choke points usually work together. A battle has a certain duration; even a war has a certain duration, thought it may last a hundred years. The point here is that resources brought to bear after the crucial moment — that is to say, outside the window of opportunity — cannot be used. Thus a tactical delay, as at the Battle of Thermopylae, can be strategically decisive even if the delaying action is a lost battle. Against all odds, the Greeks ultimately kept the numerically superior Persian forces out of Greece, and they did so through a brilliant series of engagements that strategically deployed the far smaller Greek forces at choke points in what was, in some senses, a war of attrition that the Persians chose not to pursue because it was too costly.
I hope that it is not lost on the reader that this is precisely what the Viet Cong did in Viet Nam, and what the Mujaheddin did in Afghanistan during the Soviet occupation. Guerrilla wars have always (even if not explicitly) sought out the strategic choke points of numerically larger, technologically superior forces, and concentrated their action where that action could inflict proportionately heavy casualties, making the conflict a protracted and costly war of attrition. If a guerrilla force can maintain this attrition on a larger force long enough to break the political will of the civilian leaders directing the war, they can win even if guerrilla losses are disproportionately large. Sometimes this calculation is a close-run thing, and sometimes the guerrillas are extirpated before the fight becomes unsustainable and impossible for conventional forces, but there is always the possibility of oblique victory by way of the withdrawal of the conventional opponent.
As long as tactical and strategic thought is allowed to run in the lazy channels of if only we had more resources — be those resources soldiers, guns, money, time, etc. — the commanders thinking in such terms will be humiliated by more innovative strategic and tactical thinking that looks for the choke points where resources are far less significant than the will to fight. At a choke point, even a small, poorly equipped force can precipitate a decisive moment and turn the tide for their comrades in arms, though they may have to die at the choke point in order to achieve this end.
There are, of course, cases in which infinite resources would make a difference. However, this is not the only possibility, because there are cases — battles being a paradigm instances of such cases — when infinite resources would not make a difference (or do not necessarily make a difference). The true strategic thinker seeks these resource-neutralizing nodes and seizes upon them as the opportunity to project power at the least cost to himself and the greatest cost to his adversary. The failed strategic thinker chooses a point at which to concentrate his resources, believing that if he can pour enough resources into a strong point, he can ultimately win despite the losses he will take — like the French at Dien Bien Phu. As I noted above, this calculation can be a close run thing. The Western powers might have failed spectacularly with the Berlin Airlift (arguably an early battle of the Cold War), but they ultimately proved that they could pour sufficient resources into this engagement that it was the Russians who capitulated in this case.

Dump Trump movement preparing fight at GOP convention
WASHINGTON - Several hundred Republican delegates are organizing to oppose Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention next month.
That's not enough delegates to topple Trump. But it's more than enough to create turmoil at an event that is typically used to bring a political party together in support of a presidential candidate.
There could be floor fights over convention rules and the party's platform. And the roll call to nominate Trump could be an opportunity for delegates to voice their displeasure on national television.
Trump's campaign dismisses attempts to deny him the nomination, saying the billionaire businessman will have more than enough support at the convention to win the nomination and control the proceedings.

Objective To assess whether the transition from a traditional curriculum to a community oriented problem based learning curriculum at Sherbrooke University is associated with the expected improvements in preventive care and continuity of care without a decline in diagnosis and management of disease. Design Historical cohort comparison study. Setting Sherbrooke University and three traditional medical schools in Quebec, Canada. Participants 751 doctors from four graduation cohorts (1988-91); three before the transition to community oriented problem based learning (n = 600) and one after the transition (n = 151). Outcome measures Annual performance in preventive care (mammography screening rate), continuity of care, diagnosis (difference in prescribing rates for specific diseases and relief of symptoms), and management (prescribing rate for contraindicated drugs) assessed using provincial health databases for the first 4-7 years of practice. Results After transition to a community oriented problem based learning curriculum, graduates of Sherbrooke University showed a statistically significant improvement in mammography screening rates (55 more women screened per 1000, 95% confidence interval 10.6 to 99.3) and continuity of care (3.3% more visits coordinated by the doctor, 0.9% to 5.8%) compared with graduates of a traditional medical curriculum. Indicators of diagnostic and management performance did not show the hypothesised decline. Sherbrooke graduates showed a significant fourfold increase in disease specific prescribing rates compared with prescribing for symptom relief after the transition. Conclusion Transition to a community oriented problem based learning curriculum was associated with significant improvements in preventive care and continuity of care and an improvement in indicators of diagnostic performance.

Crime down slightly in third quarter
'Person' crimes down 27 percent; other offenses up 2 percent from 2011
Overall crime and traffic accidents in Riley County are down slightly compared with this time last year, according to third-quarter statistics released by the Riley County Police Department.
In numbers that represent the department's entire jurisdiction, there were 469 reported criminal offenses in this year's third quarter, compared with 478 for the same period in 2011, representing a 1.9 percent decrease. Person crimes, including murder, rape, robbery and aggravated assault, decreased by 26.6 percent, while non-person crimes, including burglary and theft, increased by 1.9 percent.
Person crimes decreased from 64 to 47 reported offenses, with aggravated assaults decreasing by 37 percent, from 46 reported offenses to 29. The only person crime to increase was robbery, with 9 cases reported compared to six.
In Manhattan alone, where 428 of the offenses occurred, there was an overall decrease in crime of 2.3 percent, with a 13.7-percent decrease in person crimes and a very slight decrease in non-person crimes.
Forty-four person crimes were reported in Manhattan in this year's third quarter, with 28 of those being aggravated assault, nine being robbery and seven being rape. In 2011, 35 aggravated assaults were reported, along with six robberies and nine rapes.
There were 384 non-person crimes reported in Manhattan, including 302 thefts, 71 burglaries and 11 automobile thefts, as compared with 387 non-person crimes reported for that period in 2011.
In Ogden, there were 13 reported offenses in this year's third quarter, all of which were non-person crimes, including two burglaries, nine thefts and two automobile thefts. In person crimes, the number of reported aggravated assault decreased from 11 in 2011 to zero in 2012.
In the rest of Riley County, there were 28 reported offenses, an increase from 15 the previous year. The majority of those offenses were non-person crimes, including 10 thefts and 12 burglaries, an increase from seven thefts and six burglaries reported in the same quarter in 2011.
In year-to-date figures, 1,283 offenses have been reported in the entire jurisdiction, a 4.1-percent increase from year-to-date figures for 2011. The majority of the offenses were thefts, with 882 reported. In person crimes, there have been 31 rapes, 20 robberies and 94 aggravated assaults reported, representing a 2.8 percent increase over 2011. In non-person crimes, there have been 216 burglaries, 882 thefts and 39 automobile thefts reported, representing a 4.2-percent increase over 2011.
In the third quarter of 2012, there were a total of 353 traffic accidents, a number that includes accidents caused by driver error, weather and animals, and accidents that occurred on both public and private roads. That figure represents a 4.1-percent decrease from this time last year, when 368 accidents were reported.
The total number of accidents when those caused by weather and animals is disregarded was 257.
The roads where the majority of accidents take place, as compiled by Patrol Capt. Tim Hegarty, are the 2900 to 3000 blocks of Anderson Avenue (17), the intersection of Fort Riley Boulevard and Seth Child Road (11), Seth Child Road between Anderson Avenue and Fort Riley Boulevard (8), the intersection of Tuttle Creek Boulevard and McCall Road (7) and the intersection of Bluemont Avenue and Fourth Street (6).
Hegarty said those five locations accounted for nearly 15 percent of all accidents in the third quarter.
During the third quarter, Riley County officers conducted 5,547 traffic stops, a 4.4-percent decrease from the third quarter of 2011.
During these stops,1,293 non-accident related citations were issued, a 22.9-percent increase over 2011, and 3,130 warnings were issued, a 12.8-percent decrease from 2011.
Hegarty said that for each stop that produced a citation or written warning, drivers received written warnings by a nearly three-to-one margin.
He said the most frequent non-accident citations were issued for speeding, seat-belt and cell-phone violations, while the most frequent accident-related citations issued were for inattentive driving, following too closely and failure to yield. Riley County officers issued 156 accident related citations in the third quarter of this year, a decrease of 46 from 202 during the same period in 2011.
