Changed approach
I changed my strategy for advocating weblogs in my local educational setting: Each member of the group is supposed to run his own weblog and the group weblogs aggregate and form intersections.

U.S. favorability ratings have plummeted in the past six months in countries actively opposing war – France, Germany and Russia – as well as in countries that are part of the “coalition of the…

Misconceptions
Lots of chatter going on about if the military strategy of the “house of cards” turns out to be right or wrong.
