A New Site Feature
I know less than nothing about how this would have to be implemented, so feel free to ignore this. Would it be possible to add a feature that allows people to "follow" games that they aren't in?

NFL Pick 'em: Week 6--Can the Giants Get A Win? Should the 'skins Change Their Name?
We start Week 6 with a game that looked a LOT better before the season started, the Giants and the Cowboys. The Cowboys and Redskins play on Sunday Night, an always-fun match-up (what do you think about the Redskin name, by the way, change it or no?) and there are plenty of interesting games with the Pack and Ravens going at it, the Saints and Patriots going head-to-head, and more. So, Week 6, here we go...PICK 'EM!

So public notice y'all. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/128554-GOG-Offers-Free-Games-to-Furloughed-U-S-Employees

Shoddy Peer Review in Open Access Journals
As reported in Science (http://www.sciencemag.org/content/342/6154/60.full):
Open Access Journals may be more likely to accept suspect papers (as they are paid by the authors) as demonstrated by Bohannon, who submitted a clearly false paper to several hundred journals, to be rejected by less than half.

Support holding a unit which is supporting another units move?
If a unit is supporting a move, can another unit behind it support hold it or does that not work because the unit it wants to support hold is not holding?

Say Rumania wanted to support move a unit but I wanted to support hold Rumania from Bulgaria would that protect Rumania or would it not work?

A Nobel in Two Pages
Physical Review is making available for free the papers that won the Physics Nobel Prizes this year (for the prediction of the Higgs boson). One of them is two pages, and the other is three. That's not so uncommon in physics, but it's still remarkable how tersely a great idea can be communicated. Here is the link for the interested:

Debt Service without Raising the Ceiling
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-politics-live/liveblog/live-updates-the-shutdown-4/?hpid=z2#c1e3ada3-dc00-41 D8-92cb-327c5c814d82

Yes, we can service our debt and not default on our credit without raising the debt ceiling. Just like YOU, the individual, can prioritize your spending at home (say, cancel cable when money gets tight)...so can the Fed. QUIT LYING OBAMA AND ALL YOU LIBTARDS!

http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2013/10/11/232090272/utah-allowed-to-re-open-national-parks-and-foot-the-bill

The REAL question is this - the Utah can pay $1.67 million to open the parks, to generate $100+ in revenue, why are YOUR tax dollars funding the park anyway? PRIVATIZE or give parks to the states, and these stupid problems go away...

strategies employed to crush recent democratic actions

tea party - the bailouts and federal reserve are complete bs
strategy: get signs out that have nothing to do with the movement and are just maximally offensive to liberals. have the media only film those.
strategy: pour tons of cash into creating organizations that elect people who are traditional republicans rather than anti totalitarian
strategy: traditional republican media tries to get their neocon audience to get involved and turn it into a traditional republican movement rather than an anti totalitarian movement

occupy - the bailouts were bs, we are not getting anything from out taxes
strategy: get signs going saying bring back communism, have some red flags going, and have the media only film those
strategy: get people you want to lead the movement through the strategies you know
strategy: oops, the movement was not effectively crushed. have obama send a message to all police to coordinate closing them all down nationwide at once, and hide it from the media

so they have already categorized those two. now what will they do with this one? have to be labeled as racist conservatives, i guess. since there are veterans.

oh incidentally they can always have one label, and have it just change midstream without the media junkies noticing.
example: tea party were backward stupid hick racists and then they actually did research and found they were significantly more educated and wealthy than the public. and then all of a sudden became snobby rich scrooges... or something.

so... what will the caricature be?

thinkprogress and talkingpointsmemo both are framing it as an extremist right wing conspiracy

http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2013/10/07/2744611/right-wing-truckers/
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/muckraker/constitution-truckers-plan-to-shut-down-d-c-with-protest-convoy

huffington post seems more reasonble. and they are closer to real media. so it is hard to say what the corporate media will go with. interestingly the conspirators were able to put some random guy conlon and convince hp that he represented the movement saying that they would do a citizens arrest. but i guess his bs authority was taken down as he seems to not even be welcome in dc and apparently will not show up...
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/10/08/truckers-ride-for-the-constitution_n_4061118.html

and ah... interesting. facebook helped out with the labeling. they shut down the facebook page called ride to shutdown america. then a new page came up called ride for the constitution and they kept that one up.

so now all the media outlets are calling it the ride for the constitution and thus it seems it will fall into the right side of the divide. so look forward to them being labeled racist and greedy and get ready for conspiracy conjectures about it all being a plot by some rich secret elite. even though this completely goes against the interests of the true ruling class.
