The Yankees spent nearly double the amount of money on players that the Phillies spent. How is that not seen as offensive? They didn't out-coach anybody. Didn't do anything special. Just bought the championship. Again.

Former CIA Agent Once Played by George Clooney Explains Why He Quit DC and Is Holing Up in the Rockies | | AlterNet
We talked about his latest book, "The Devil We Know," an intelligence analysis of Iran that suggests everything in the popular discourse in the US about Iran is wrong. It's the sort of intelligence that likely would have been ignored if published inside the agency. The US, offers Baer, should engage with Iran, a great power in the Middle East, the heir of the Persia of antiquity that is invested in a historical memory the American spy apparatus can't be bothered to understand. The US should come to a detente with Iran's rulers, recognizing them not as madmen intent on destruction but as players in the world of realpolitik - not so very different in their intent than the United States. Iran, says Baer, has abandoned its penchant for funding terrorism against the US. Altogether this is a big-hearted argument, almost heroic, given the carnage visited on the CIA by the mullahs during Baer's years in Beirut, the friends killed by Iran, the chaos spread by Iran. The book in that sense is a peace offering in spite of the awful past - a recognition of historical memory and an attempt at an answer to it.

The Metropolitan Police was today accused of attempting to "rewrite history" after staff were told to destroy photographs of officers failing to display their identity numbers. A leaked email obtained by the Standard shows Scotland Yard instructing that pictures of uniformed officers breaching rules which state that they should be identifiable at all times must be "culled" from image libraries and databases. It also warns that images showing police without their numbers "must not be used" and instructs that if any uniformed officers are "put up for interview you should make sure that they have their shoulder numbers/markings and name badges in place". A sergeant who has been charged with assaulting one protester is among a handful of police accused of not wearing their identity epaulette.

Sin pena ni gloria el alambicado Acuerdo Tegucigalpa/San José luce abortado al no pasar su primera prueba de instalar el Gobierno de Unidad y Reconciliación Nacional, en conformidad con el calendario diseñado al efecto.
Roberto Micheletti Bain has unilaterally formed a "National Unity Government" whose conformation he announced at 11:45 PM Tegucigalpa time. (...) Rafael Pineda Ponce said that Micheletti will preside over the new government. Micheletti will present the new government in a national broadcast this morning.
So we resolve: 1.If today, Thursday, November 5, no later than midnight President Jose Manuel Zelaya Rosales is not reinstated to his position, the National Resistance Front against the Coup d'Etat will not recognize the electoral process and its results. 2.We alert all the organizations in the resistance on a national level so that in case President Zelaya is not reinstated in the established period to be ready to execute the actions of negating the farse elections. 3.We call on the international community to maintain the position that the de facto regime and the elections of November 29 are illegitimate. We resist and we will be victorious! Tegucigalpa, M.D.C. 5 of November 2009 Many resistance members have commented that the same Congress that invented the President's resignation letter last June is now being trusted to clean up the mess. (...) The US will now have to answer to the international community - including the Organization of American States (OAS) - as the only government that says it might recognize the Nov 29 elections in Honduras.

Introducing Raindrop Today we're introducing Raindrop, an exploration in messaging innovation being led by the team responsible for Thunderbird, to explore new ways to use Open Web technologies to create useful, compelling messaging experiences. We hope to lead and spur the development of extensible applications that help users easily and enjoyably manage their conversations, notifications, and messages across a variety of online services. A central principle behind Raindrop is that messaging should be personal -- we want Raindrop to be people-centric both in how we process messages, and in how we can help give people control over their personal data and experiences. When a friend's link from YouTube or flickr arrives, your messaging client should be able to show the video or photos near or as part of the message, rather than rudely kicking you over to a separate browser tab. Notifications from computers and mailing lists should be organized for you, not clutter your Inbox or require tedious manual filter setup. It should be easy to smoothly integrate new web services into your conversation viewer entirely using open web technologies.

Brew Dog;-
this is not a lowest common denominator beer. this is an aggressive beer. We don't care if you don't like it. We do not merely aspire to the proclaimed heady heights of conformity through neutrality and blandness. It is quite doubtful that you have the taste or sophistication to appreciate the depth, character and quality of this premium craft brewed beer. You probably don't even care that this rebellious little beer contains no preservatives or additives and uses only the finest fresh natural ingredients. Just go back to drinking your mass marketed, bland, cheaply made watered down lager and close the door behind you.

Although my CV says that I am a Chartered Accountant, I am neither authorised nor trained to provide investment advice to others. As such anything I may say to others about investing in Brewdog or indeed any other brewery shares is my own personal opinion and in most cases anecdotal.I think it is a brave move to go to the beer geek community and ask for £2.3 million in return for a c10% stake in the business. They have already taken on board some "Dragon" investors who took a 12.5% stake for c£600k in June. This latest round of fund raising values the business (effectively the Brewdog brand) at close to a staggering £25 million. Personally speaking, I really hope they pull it off. This is an exciting time for them and to ask their loyal customers to climb aboard is innovative. The business currently relies on the founders who must be in it for the long haul; hopefully the dragons from USA feel the same. They all feel they are building a brand that has enormous potential.If last night's drinks party to celebrate the share issue is anything to go by, the target investor is young, affluent, upwardly mobile and loves beer.Me ? Only the latter, but I am on board with one share at £230. I am keen to go along for the ride but have only invested the minimum with money I can afford to lose. I like the beer and the people and feel it is worthy of support. I have a similar holding in Hop Back and Twickenham for the same reason but I lost £500 or so by investing in Cains just before it went into prepack administration.
A conventional IPO of course, when they could instead sell Units redeemable in payment for pints!
