Friday Morning Linkage
Winter Storm Nemo is bearing down on us and everything is shut down up here in the Northeast. No classes and no office hours!
Here’s the quick snow edition:
- Why are we now naming winter storms?
- Canadians dissing on Toronto.
- Moscow has received its heaviest snow in a century. With pictures.
- I used to do this on really cold snow days growing up in North Dakota — blow soap bubbles and watch them freeze and shatter. (There really was nothing else to do at -20 degrees in North Dakota)
And, the rest of the roundup:
- The New York Times and the Washington Post broke the story and Wired found the images of drone bases in Saudi Arabia using Bing Maps.
- Despite all the rhetoric and bluster, Brennan came through yesterday’s hearings largely unscathed. More here on drone links.
- Jon Stewart helps us understand the meanings of “imminence” and “a broader concept of imminence.”
- If there’s money to be made with this new drone technology, gotta bet that college and university administrators will find a way….
- Shocking news. Chuck Hagel might find his nomination stymied on flimsy grounds.
- Somalia revisited? The French want to turn Mali over to the United Nations.
- UN Report on bribery in Afghanistan last year. Bribes spent in Afghanistan totaled twice the amount of national revenues. Probably not good.
