There is nothing faulty about my logic at all. What I said was true, I said nothing about the converse. Water is good, drowning is bad I do not have to point out the drowning part to make the water is good statement. I also did not say anything about having a general skill in teaching I said that teachers need to be excellent at teaching, and I also said that they need to be good at what they are teaching.
You aren't a teacher are you. Just how many teachers would you like to hire that suck? Really? How many kids do you think are going to get shafted while you sort through them? Meanwhile please actually read the posts before commenting, since this is/. I won't ask you to read the articles though.
I posted in this thread already, but had I read your post I would have burned MOD points instead. I'm a teacher at a Technical Highschool and you have earned the highest of moderated forum post goodness. Thank you for making your point.
I'm a teacher. I work with err... uh teachers. The biggest problem I have with the concept of differential pay is that Great Education != Great Teachers. There I said it. It's true. Frankly I've had PhD professors that couldn't explain ice to an Eskimo, and I've read some posts even on/. that were so well articulated I grasped even the most foreign concepts.
You must be good at what you teach but you must absolutely be excellent at teaching if you are going to make any impact. Differential pay is okay as long as it's based on success in the field of teaching and not based on the number of quadratic equations you can do in fifteen seconds. All teachers are theoretically bi-vocational in that they must be proficient in two fields. The sad thing is, most of them really do suck at teaching but they are really good at understanding calculus.
According to this article the timing couldn't be better if we assume that China is actually a world power with the capability of projecting force. Politically they are quite happy with their relationship to the U.S. Militarily there isn't much of a chance that we'll be playing in the sandbox nicely together.
I really think that the skills needed to analyze a distant planets atmosphere are important. But it doesn't matter what they discover, the information that the telescopes gather is billions of years old and is likely completely to be worthless for the purposes of planning exploration. It is still cool though.

Whoa. He didn't say anything about being an infant. I'm a dad too, and teacher.
How many times did you say to yourself, "When I'm older, I'll eat all the junk food I want.", or words to that effect? When you say something like this as a child it is because you're thinking as a child. Children are not little adults, and they do not grasp adult things in an adult way. Parent's should limit junk food for their kids because kids will not understand that it isn't good for them. People that say otherwise are ignorant and probably childless.
It isn't possible to explain to a young child that something that they like is actually harmful to them and expect them to understand the concepts on any meaningful level (I am talking about young children here). It is a parents job to care for their kids, and blocking porn (some of which is in fact harmful) is part of that. He is his childs father, and rather than criticize him for being careful you should applaud it to some degree even if you aren't in agreement with him. There are way too many parents that do not give a rats ass about their kids, and you find one guy here on/. that does and suddenly you feel "holier than thou" towards him? I'd bet he is doing a good job with his son, or at least the best job he can do with what he has to work with. Get off his back.

I strongly suspect that DoD WANTS to see the attacks. You are exactly right, if the DoD were really concerned about the loss of classified information they would simply block those IP ranges. Something more sophsiticated is probably at work.

September 11, 2001 - Terrorists hijack four U.S. commercial airliners taking off from various locations in the United States in a coordinated suicide attack. In separate attacks, two of the airliners crash into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, which catch fire and eventually collapse. A third airliner crashes into the Pentagon in Washington, DC, causing extensive damage. The fourth airliner, also believed to be heading towards Washington, DC, crashes outside Shanksville, PA., killing all 45 people on board. Casualty estimates from New York put the possible death toll close to 5,000, while as many as 200 people may have been lost at the Pentagon crash site.
Oct. 12, 2000 - A terrorist bomb damages the destroyer USS Cole in the port of Aden, Yemen, killing 17 sailors and injuring 39.
Aug. 7, 1998 - Terrorist bombs destroy the U.S. embassies in Nairobi, Kenya and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. In Nairobi, 12 Americans are among the 291 killed, and over 5,000 are wounded, including 6 Americans. In Dar es Salaam, one U.S. citizen is wounded among the 10 killed and 77 injured.
In response, on August 20 the United States attacked targets in Afghanistan and Sudan with over 75 cruise missiles fired from Navy ships in the Arabian and Red seas. About 60 Tomahawk cruise missiles were fired from warships in the Arabian Sea. Most struck six separate targets in a camp near Khost, Afghanistan. Simultaneously, about 20 cruise missiles were fired from U.S. ships in the Red Sea striking a factory in Khartoum, Sudan, which was suspected of producing components for making chemical weapons.
June 21, 1998 - Rocket-propelled grenades explode near the U.S. embassy in Beirut.
June 25, 1996 - A bomb aboard a fuel truck explodes outside a U.S. air force installation in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. 19 U.S. military personnel are killed in the Khubar Towers housing facility, and 515 are wounded, including 240 Americans.
Nov. 13, 1995 - A car-bomb in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia kills seven people, five of them American military and civilian advisers for National Guard training. The "Tigers of the Gulf," "Islamist Movement for Change," and "Fighting Advocates of God" claim responsibility.
February 1993 - A bomb in a van explodes in the underground parking garage in New York's World Trade Center, killing six people and wounding 1,042.
Dec. 21, 1988 - A bomb destroys Pan Am 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. All 259 people aboard the Boeing 747 are killed including 189 Americans, as are 11 people on the ground.
April 1986 - An explosion damages a TWA flight as it prepares to land in Athens, Greece. Four people are killed when they are sucked out of the aircraft.
April 5, 1986 - A bomb destroys the LaBelle discotheque in West Berlin. The disco was known to be frequented by U.S. servicemen. The attack kills one American and one German woman and wounds 150, including 44 Americans
In response, on April 15 the United States retaliated in an operation dubbed 'El Dorado Canyon.' Approximately 100 aircraft were launched in direct support of the raid. It was an attack against military targets involving land-based bombers from Great Britain together with carrier-based air strikes from ships in the Gulf of Sidra.
December 1985 - Simultaneous suicide attacks are carried out against U.S. and Israeli check-in desks at Rome and Vienna international airports. 20 people are killed in the two attacks, including four terrorists.
November 1985 - Hijackers aboard an Egyptair flight kill one American. Egyptian commandos later storm the aircraft on the isle of Malta, and 60 people are killed.
October 1985 - Palestinian terrorists hijack the cruise liner Achille Lauro (in response to the Israeli attack on PLO headquarters in Tunisia) Leon Klinghoffer, an elderly, wheelchair-bound American, is killed and thrown overboard.
August 1985 - A car bomb at a U.S. military base in Frankfurt, Germany kills tw
