Maybe you’ve seen it before, maybe you haven’t. Still bears viewing.
As important as one of the bases for the Maritime Strategy as it is for the local school board in building its strategic vision and mapping out budgetary direction.

* Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Embrace The Bad Old Days Get out your white suit, your tap shoes and tails Let’s go backwards when forward fails And movie stars you thought were alone then Now are framed beside your bed Don’t throw the pa-ast away You might need it some rainy…
Last week we published a detailed, thoughtful critique by Robert Work and Jan van Tol under the auspices of the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessment (CSBA). At the time it was noted that this was the lead-off of a new round of cooperative discussion of the Maritime Strategy to begin today here and at…
The accelerating spread of nuclear weapons, nuclear know-how and nuclear material has brought us to a nuclear tipping point. We face a very real possibility that the deadliest weapons ever invented could fall into dangerous hands. The steps we are taking now to address these threats are not adequate to the danger. With nuclear…

I had seen this before. But it certainly doesn’t hurt to watch it again.
I have not seen this before so I offer a serious thank you.
I live in a flat world and knew it though I did not realize how flat until some recent reading.

I almost bought a piece of software this week from a developer in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. A country that just 15 or so years ago was part of the Soviet Union but now has US Air Forces with a base and Russian Air Forces 22 miles away in the same country.

I think these kids are in someways less globally prepared than with the education I received at a DODSS school in the 80s. I think we are failing our kids. I’ve seen with my own eyes.
