Or is it that students who go to private schools have smaller class sizes, have beter educated parents, have parents who are more motivated to succeed, a perhaps even have more genes that contribute to higher IQ?
Well? Don't bash the public system that must take even the stupid. Do private schools?
Tired of thieves stealing his tools, my grandpa electrified the padlock with one of those electric fence units used with cattle and horses. Difference, 3' from the unit instead of 300' of fencing wire.
The article has it wrong about driving slow. It is not the better efficiency per mile under continuous driving. It is the wasted energy of bringing a car to a stop over and over while in town. You drive slow, and then coast to the stop sign. If you see a red light ahead you start coasting and hope it ges green before you are forced to stop.
perhaps. However, there are many many many factions there. Do you know and trust all their motivations? Some factions might like the war because it is profitable, or gives them an edge in gang fights.

Obama represents change in a way that you have not quite perceived: Obama is not the change. We the People are the change.
Let me explain: Obama is an organizer at heart. He's good at it, evidenced by his impressive grass roots organization, but also Obama believes in it. Obama believes in grassroots, in democracy in action..of ordinary citizens working for change.
You ask: How would this work?
Answer: By not working against those self-organized grassroot citizens, as is usual in our politics these last decades. Obama, unlike Bush, would not seclude himself from opinions and opinions that are contrary to his own. He does not intend to let himself be surrounded by yeahsayers, and groupthink. He will not seclude his mind from protesters and activists. He believes in it.
When pro-life activists interrupted a rally last year, and the crowd heckled them, Obama chided his supporters, and stood up for protesters.. saying that it took a lot of guts to come here and work for change like that.
THAT is the change he is working for. Letting the citizen back in.
A president is not a legislator, the President is a leader that points the direction, and the direction Obama is pointing it to us.
Us. He says We the People are the direction. He is leading us back to Democracy.
Obama is Lincoln returned to heal America, and make it We the People.
I have a pile of sand and some water. I didn't make them. Maybe God did, or the sun, but it was not me.
Now I build a sand castle by gathering sand and water together.
This is what news aggregations do for me. Aggregators are in the service of providing "emergent content."
Aggregator mass information relevant to some topic so that the big picture can be seen. This picture emerges after the aggregation of information(the sand) is structured so one can see the whole picture(the sand castle).
While it is true that clumping can occur in random distributions, we can also calculate the chance that a particular clumping would occur if the distribution was random. Thus, using statistical procedures one can devise tests with error = alpha, which can conclude if it belongs to the same distribution.
This IS what statistics is for, and in light of this fact, I think your comment is incorrect, overrated, and probably a post designed for Karma whoring. Note:I am not applying statistics to these last statements.

Selecting the top kids makes for better performance, most of the time.

The word you are looking for is Anterograde Amnesia, not forward amnesia, though we get your point. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterograde_amnesia
Interestingly, I've never heard of an Athiest.

Zotero is fantastic, and I've been using it for about a year now. BTW, they have Word and Open Office plugins too.
Either this conversation is light-years ahead of me, or you are mad sir. Mad.

All this is besides the point. I have a University of California backbone connection. I top out the bandwidth testers on the internet. Stop drooling.

http://uk.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUKN1830368120080718 hmm but McCain would.
McCain might also have tried to manipulate elections an old fashioned today by commenting on the probable timing of Obama's arrival in Iraq.
This is obviously a major security issue for Obama, and shows us why McCain should not be president.

I'm not quite a newb or anything. But, how do you know if you've been owned? Standard anti-virus checks? Something more difficult to detect?
Sounds like someone finally is talking sense here. Truecrypt is not the only solution out there. Using PGP keys is a great alternative.
Heck ZipGenius compression utility has an encryption option too. Don't fry me with comments abouts how secure it is, because I don't know.
