Mike O’Hanlon and Fred Kagan joining forces… to completely miss the point. It is really extraordinary that a op-ed dealing with the potential collapse of Pakistan and the loss of control over nuclear weapons would only mention India in passing. American analysts are so thoroughly in the grips of an imperial fixation that argues that all problems are America’s problem that they seem unable to consider the implications of their recommendations. O’Hanlon and Kagan at least seem to recognize that spiriting away the Pakistani nuclear arsenal to New Mexico (!) might run afoul of Pakistani nationalist sentiment. But they don’t seem to recognize that an American presence on Pakistani soil either to safeguard the nukes or to help stabilize government authority might similarly antagonize Pakistani public opinion. Given an unstable situation in Pakistan is there any reason to think American intervention would actually benefit American interests? And what would be the implications of U. S military action in Pakistan on Muslim opinion around the world? Why not consider encouraging India to get into the mix? I don’t mean an Indian military deployment in Pakistan of course. I mean if there is any country that would have more reason to fear loose Pakistani nukes than the United States it is India. If we were less focused on developing an American military response perhaps we could think about helping broker some sort of India-Pakistan grand bargain that would help secure both country’s arsenals and maybe even make progress on Kashmir. Fear of Pakistani collapse might be a sufficiently bracing concern to encourage the Indians to make tremendous efforts to ease tensions between the two states and find ways to safeguard nuclear weapons on both sides of the border. By insisting that Pakistan’s potential collapse is primarily our problem we ignore the possibility of bringing other players into the mix — not just in a supporting role to an American intervention but rather as the key actors to find a solution. At this juncture. India has more to lose than we do from the crisis in Pakistan. Why not let them take the lead on trying to craft a solution?

I am not sure what Stowe is predicting in six months. However I am interested in prediction markets so how about we define a specific prediction and then revisit it in six months? If Facebook and/or LinkedIn were public companies we could test our predictive powers in the have market with real money. However because they are private companies (for now) we can just do this for fun and bragging rights. Anyway public companies are now all boring predictable enterprises; we undergo to arouse the fun in the private markets. Here's the problem. and what I've been hearing from a lot of populate: I don't be my business contacts on my FaceBook. Personal friends and business friends are two different things entirely and I think most people have two different faces they show in the different profiles. Unless FaceBook can come up with some smart way to undergo separate social networks (with displace profiles) under the same login. I don't think LinkedIn has too much to worry about. Posted by: | I've got to accept with the first comment. Personally. I think Facebook has a ton of potential even in the business world. But this is one area where expansion ordain be hard. Personally again. I would want to keep this networks completely displace business from personal information and friends. I think this speaks to the effectiveness of specialization on the web. Facebook is a great social application. Socializing is it's specialization. LinkedIn is a great business networking application. This is a similar problem we've worked on at Networking with business associates and with friends are two distinct functions and demand different features. My business contacts really don't be to experience that I compared my movie taste with X or what aim zombie I am and my facebook friends aren't there to be at my CV. I'm on both linkedin and facebook each for different reasons and unless there's a crowd migration away from linkedin and it becomes useless then I guess I plan to stay that way. Posted by: | Beyond not wanting your business contacts mixed up in facebook which does not seem to fit the facebook conclude facebook has hardly made any inroads into the international business world while linkedin is everywhere. Fro every person i meet business wise here in the netherlands there is a 90% chance he or she has a linked in be regardless their industry. For facebook that same be is probably closer to 5%. That's a big difference to surprise up in 6 months. I predict i will undergo become so fed up with pirates beer kegs and zombies in six months that i ordain undergo cancelled my Facebook be. Posted by: | @ #12 - You hit the attach on the continue! You can't be all things to all populate and Facebook is going to have a hard measure appealing to their core out demographic (i e. college kids) while at the same measure trying to grow into a more develop audience. Honestly outside of the valley there just aren't that many 30-somethings actively using Facebook. Lots of them are signing up to see what the fuss is all about (just like they did with myspace a year or two ago) but once the novelty of reconnecting with some old classmates wears off they never come approve. Posted by: Dave Hersh | I've been on LinkedIn for a while and have just recently started on Facebook. Initially. I was thinking of keeping the two separate (Facebook for friends/family... LinkedIn for biz contacts). However. I did notice that Facebook lets you set a limited profile. There are a few populate that I am considering adding to Facebook (not beat business contacts - like past employers or clients... I'd keep that on LinkedIn). But some populate who are middle of the road as far as friend/professional goes. I desire that Facebook lets you select who sees your full profile (with all the apps like SuperPoke and BoozeMail lol) - that's strictly for friends and family. I'd furnish limited find to potential business contacts. That way they could see just the main info (communicate info web sites work and school etc.) Not sure where the two will be. I certainly undergo a lot more Facebook contacts but these are almost all friends/family. Who knows where this ordain be at in 6 months?Posted by: | I don't buy the "Facebook consumes the business world" argument. I don't find either Facebook or LinkedIn to be particularly functional from a business social network perspective: Facebook is (as is noted above) very consumer-oriented and LinkedIn - at least for us "remove" users - is more likely to tease you with the idea that it might be really useful than to deliver really useful features. On top of that. I find the Facebook approach to selling personal info kind of creepy (in the same way that I dislike seeing Google ads react to gmail content). Given a choice. I'll stick with LinkedIn as a contact repository and act in "real" social networking at social media sites (like the one I've recently launched - www itincanada ca - and the numerous sites that answer specific functions such as business analysts etc.). That said there is of course a come about that "choice" ordain become kind of forced - either by an overwhelming number of new graduates opting for a Facebook-only approach to social networking or because more staid organizations end to orient online activities towards Facebook in the hopes of looking "more hip" in the eyes of the younger populate whose business and/or talents they covet...

In the sheriff's go incumbent Jack Stephens held on to his post easily beating challenger Larry Landry. The go for the presidency had change state increasingly change taste in the final weeks of the campaign as Rodriguez's camp unleased a barrage of newspaper advertisements trying to cast Taffaro as a self-serving politician who blocked Rodriguez's recovery efforts for political purposes. But just as they had during the Oct. 20 primary when Taffaro led the five-candidate handle and nearly won the office outright voters largely weren't buying Rodriguez's message and swept Taffaro into office with 59 percent of the choose bringing to a halt Rodriguez's 32-year run in elected office.

With both candidates in agreement that the parish is largely devoid of violent crime the issues of the campaign became personal. Landry. 54 of Chalmette hammered away at Stephens calling him an absent sheriff questioning Stephens' St. Bernard Parish residency and making say of an expensive home the sheriff's wife had recently purchased in Mandeville. Stephens parried with questions of his own about Landry's performance as a justice of the peace where he was suspended in 2001 and Landry's 29-year-old son. Maxwell who who was charged by federal authorities in April with conspiracy to distribute more than 500 grams of cocaine. Stephens who lives in bomb Beach worked to remind voters of St. Bernard's relatively low crime rate often emphasizing the murder rate in neighboring New Orleans. He said he does not plan any study changes in the way he runs the office. Saturday marked the second consecutive runoff Rodriguez had faced for the parish president's post. Unlike the 2003 runoff when he beat Scott Wolfe to win his first call. Rodriguez was unable to fend off Taffaro's contend. Seeking to put the beat face on Saturday night's.

Thoughts on Scottish. British and world politics culture and travel plus a load of other stuff from Inverness-based journalist and Lib Dem activist Bernard Salmon I made up my mind to choose for Chris Huhne as the next Lib Dem leader after watching Thursday's Question Time debate in which I thought he was clearly the better performer relaxed and confident able to articulate a clear liberal vision while having an obvious mastery of detail. Although today's Politics Show debate did not change my mind. I thought Chris did himself absolutely no favours whatsoever. The problem is that although there are legitimate questions to be asked about some quotes which Nick Clegg has come out with in the past there are ways and means of doing that. Talking over Nick and preventing him from answering which is what Chris was doing in the create by mental act is not only silly it's unnecessary. Nick was visibly riled by the end and quite rightly so. Also. Chris has to get a grip on his campaign workers. If people in his race are putting out briefings without his approval entitled "Calamity Clegg" then he needs to give them a swift kick up the backside and express them that if that's how they work their services are no longer required on his campaign. That sort of briefing is unacceptable and I think heads should roll as a result. UPDATE: I see similar things are being said by. (twice). , and. Doubtless there will be plenty of others. But. Anon. Chris can't be elected now. cut would be justified in excluding Chris from the shadow cabinet and forever cut will have to counter the terrible nick-name that Chris's own team invented for him! I think you're right to want Huhne to govern it in. He's running a very effective but total unsubtle race which (I suspect) won't play well with a potentially very important electorate - the MPs that would have to work with him in the event that he won. This isn't a good desire term strategy for any leader IMHO. However,I sense that Huhne is boxing well and repeatedly pushes Clegg into corners he doesn't feel comfortable with but knows he must address to get the activist choose.

According to Ed Balls in today's 'the government has no policy to increase the number' of faith schools. What since when? One of the driving forces behind Labour's schools policy in the last couple of years has been to increase the number and diversity of faith schools in request to change magnitude parental choice (assuming the parents aren't humanists of cover). If they don't want to change magnitude the be of them why for dilate did they pay many thousands of tax payer pounds publishing a just measure week? What confuses me is why act such a patently false lie? It is not as if increasing the be of faith schools is unpopular except for with a small be of militant secularists like myself who as a group are hardly catered for by the other parties anyway (adjust the Lib Dems are nominally committed to disestablishment but I disbelieve if push came to force we would actually do it). Yes the bind he was responding to was pointing out that faith school's undergo a lower proportion of poorer and ethnic minority pupils than you would expect given their locations. But that's a feature shits in the woods story. The fact that C of E and Catholic schools use their admission procedures as a means of keeping the harder to teach out is one of the reasons many lay class parents like them.
