Candidate technologies receiving attention include various quantum functional devices, quantum computing, DNA computing, and molecular electronics explained for molecular diode switches, molecular transistors, and molecular logic gates.
This talk would provide an overview on one such candidate technology based on carbon and other nanotubes.
the novel Quantum Cascade Laser (QCL), which differs in design from traditional laser diodes.
This treatment burned out the protein shell and yielded two dimensional arrays of inorganic iron oxide dots on the Si wafer. The size and repeat distance of the dots were 6 and 12 nm, respectively, as measure by FE-SEM and AFM. As the diameter of the iron oxide dots is only 6 nm, this two imensional array of inorganic iron oxide dots has a potential to be used as quantum dots. Feasibility study of the application of this dot array to the structure of semiconductor memory is now in progress.

You go to

loaded you use FILE save as and save it to disk as index.htm and/or default.htm
or both. In netscape you then can go to file NEW open in composer select
the file on your hard drive to edit. Delete what ever - add what ever -
be sure to us format page and change TITLE to index for " user name " .
If you know any HTTP you can view source and change titles etc.
Composer has
a ftp ( publish ) function. MS provides front-page and web publishing wizard.
The same applies to FILE save as - ( or try EDIT ) button then save. (

Behind the
news: a common thread of interconnectedness
Imagine a fat monitor
or a hand held device or a card which is a personal linking device that
plugs into the electrical energy fields system and a USB ( universal serial Bus ) modem
( or digital connection to replace the analog ) that creates the connection
to the life force.
The device can carry talk, pictures, e-mail, white board
functions.
The device can charge expenses, such as parking, travel, meals,
and pay by use applications.
Third-generation
services are coming soon to a mobile phone near you but first the platforms
and standards have to be resolved.
Electricity made mass
production, telephones, photographs, radio, TV, and computers possible,
and now powers the internet. Packets replace circuits, self fixing double

The Personal Communications Utility
or Appliance PCU, PCA, or PAD ( personal access device ) or NC ( network
computer ) plugs into a pipeline that connects you to the backbone of the
internet.

In the past it was OK to let others forge the way. You could wait to see
how it turned out then buy your way in after the bugs had been removed.
Pioneers got arrows in their backs. BUT now we are all on the frontier

A short introduction to quantum computation
Max PLANCK and Heisenberg, and Erwin SCHRÖDINGER's wave mechanics, and Born, are
the people of the 20th century who will most influence the 21 st. We will see the
application of quantum computer fairly soon. It could ( so will ) have some level of
self awareness we call consciousness
http://www.qubit.org/intros/comp/comp.html
Being in two places at the same time - or going from here to there without passing through the space
between.
The nature of matter at this level is little energy spots rather than matter as we experience
it, energy that change quantum states - transform from one state to another instantly.
"
The history of computer technology has involved a sequence of changes from one type of physical
realization to another --- from gears to relays to valves to transistors to integrated circuits and so on
...
On the atomic scale matter obeys the rules of quantum mechanics, which are quite different from the
classical rules that determine the properties of conventional logic gates. So if computers are to
become smaller in the future, new, quantum technology must replace or supplement what we have
now.
The point is, however, that quantum technology can offer much more than cramming more and
more bits to silicon and multiplying the clock-speed of microprocessors. It can support entirely new
kind of computation with qualitatively new algorithms based on quantum principles!
Dr. Pflaum ( for a fee ) will research the events and technologies
that will effect your future and give you reports and advice.
NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN STORAGE
According
to CMR ( http://www.cmruk.com/cmrinventions.html
), Professor Ted Williams and his team are able to store 86 gigabytes per
square centimeter, and to read and write this data at 100 megabits/second.
While few details are available while their patents are pending, CMR does
indicate that the process, funded in part by the UK Department of Trade
and Industry, exploits a new family of metal alloys to create, "...a magneto-optical
system not dissimilar to that of CD-ROM, except that the system is fixed,
solid state, and has a different operating approach."
The
news tracker connection then runs everything
. The Star Office 5.1 is
a good example. It runs on open platforms and can be updated, reconfigured
to include sound and video telephones, and doesn't need to be completely
installed on every terminal but can run off the system network.
In
doing web pages, Netscape Composer, MS FrontPage, and Star Office use different
forms of code, HTTP ( hypertext ) different Java scripts, and can mess
each other and the author up. Now since they ( Netscape ( AOL ) and
Sun - part of the NOISE group, Netscape, Oracle, IBM, Sun and everyone
else - ) are enemies they may intend to screw each other with the author
in the middle.
How
about http://www.wiredbrain.net/battle.wav
and
too many other changes that work here but not there - audio plug-ins, ActiveX,
virtual machines, XML, etc. Etc..
This
is why the complex stuff has to be up-stream on the server if the communications
systems can communicate with each other.
The system knows where you
are (GPS), who you are ( IP) and what you are ( kind of device you are
using ) and what you want - voice, e-mail, conference, word processor,
accounts, pay a bill, collect a bill etc.
The
standards have to be set by SOMEONE - it can’t be done by a voluntary committee
as in the good old non commercial days when the DOD and NSF controlled
the net. It can’t be done by government ( too slow ) IT has to be global
- the EU and Asia are involved - sometimes well ahead.
The WWW system standard
was set at CERN - and the UN or a global trade or international postal
telecommunications agreement could set up a fast working body the approve
PROTOCALS. Now MS does the global job but is clearly not neutral or trustworthy,
since it is worth a good share of the almost trillion dollars in systems
sales.

Many
students and professionals now use the Internet as a primary research tool.
There are some simple methods to take advantage of some of the new technology
which enable the research to create multi-search engine archives and move
fairly smoothly through the better sites. Since most browses limit bookmarks
and are prejudice in the use of search engines, commercial interest now
overwhelm academic or professional standards and interest.
First you need
some basic tools - the Internet connection, explorer and Netscape ( why
not both ? )
Then look at
http://www.wiredbrain.net/portals.htm
for a list of search engines. One should try the same search of about 5
to 10 words common in the area of your interest, on several to get an idea
of their advantages and limitations.
Then find and
down load:
http://www.copernic.com/netsonic/promo/
http://www.ferretsoft.com/netferret/index.html
The GO networks
engine is too unstable and has banners and ads that get in the way but
some people may find it useful and they may fix the problems.
http://express.infoseek.com/
After you have
downloaded and saved these files - open them and check the options to set
them for the browser you use, set the search for time and number limits.
All the multi-search
work like http://www.multicrawl.com/
but keep you
files so you don’t have to go back a fourth from the search page to the
sites and back.
TAKING NOTES:
On most pages
( not too Long ) you can use "edit" select all, copy and paste to notebook
or wordpad, then to Word or wordperfect word processor. By using an unformatted
plain text insert you may avoid hard returns and other editing errors that
will transfer with the text. Otherwise you have to remove the line returns
or hard returns that break-up sentences and paragraphs. Otherwise you can
highlight the parts you want and copy and paste. Images can be saved By
using the right click in Netscape, view images, files save as, and in Explorer
right click "save picture as" BE sure to give credit where credit is due.

The new school
What could an relevant on-line school be like.
Civilization progresses with greater literacy, greater attention to the laws of man and
nature, and greater freedom of participation.
Current instruction is gray and flat - it needs to be colorful and round. Instruction
is slow, knowledge is cut into fragments and reassembled, creative participation is
discouraged at all levels.
The iron law of bureaucracy operates freely in almost all
schools.
Students in rows reviewing text books under the control of an instructor is clearly
colorless and flat. Every once in awhile there is a little burst of color or a dark pit but
the surface is mostly two dimensional and the colors are black and white.
There are several clear themes as we move from two dimensions to many:
1. ) Knowledge is not only transferred but invented a lot of learning takes
place in the process of invention
2.)
The organizing themes are tasks not subjects , Knowledge is organized around
functions not disciplines
3.) there is creative interaction between teachers and learners and less distinctions
between actors and classes.
The word is
convergence - Technology, communications, human
organization, marketing, finance, and further explorations of the future rushing in upon
us.
The NEXUM project:
http://www.wiredbrain.net/nexum.htm
The design of the general communications and computing device.
Design teams of teachers ( from around the world ) and students from anywhere
working on the interface of communications technology, processing capacity, storage
and data transfer compression, marketing, finance, human machine interface (
ergonomics
http://www.wiredbrain.net/ergonomics.htm ) because the specialist now
has to consider bandwidth, chip capacities, applications, service systems, distribution
systems, content and market demand factors all in one organized package.
Management, information technology, marketing, human resources and production
need to work together. Traditional products such as automobiles and space rockets
and atomic ships has advanced some in design integration but computers still have a
way to go - the
NEXUM
must leap frog current compartment thinking into new
dimensions of systems analysis.
How is systems analysis different
from what has been used in the last 40 years. It is more colorful and has more dimensions.
It becomes much more complex where there are many clients, with many applications, using different languages and protocols. A great server should ask and how do we establish an interface, what language do you use, what program do you want, what operating system does it use, and can I remember all this the next time we make contact ?
Amazon.com has shown the way within one set of protocols of how to be client centric. Every store both e and non-e, should be able to track several open ended data bases - inventory, catalog, store, client, sales person, so as to show what exists and who is buying it. Wal-mart and Builders Square, Office supply and Sears should have a the catalog and inventory on line at the cash registrar and on-line for the buyers with items, pictures, prices as well as complete lists of any clients or sales person’s recorded sales. It world make it a lot easier for contractors or anyone buying many different items.
A friendly server would connect such data bases to user applications such as financial records and market research. Can any client using different tools access open records for different purposes, in different languages ? Can suppliers or comparative shoppers or programs that search for best buys ? How would the Nexum, a simple communications device, use server software to find the best buy ? Who do you compare features ? Models, grades, standards, ? All kinds of applications not invented need to glide easily into existing systems.
The invention of credit, degrees, payment systems is easy
Color is better than black and white. Three dimensions is better than two. Round in
better than flat. Current instruction is gray and flat - it needs to be colorful and round.
Students in rows reviewing text books under the control of an instructor is clearly
colorless and flat. Every once in awhile there is a little burst of color or a dark pit but
the surface is mostly two dimensional and the colors are black and white.

What
did Bill Gates and Allen do that made Microsoft such a great power and
economic engine?
They
took UNIX and set it up for the micro-computer, then quickly added features
to appeal to developers. When IBM used DOS in their PS they did so because
there was software that people could use. As you can’t sell radios without
stations and you can’t have stations without radios - you can't sell hardware
without applications.
Then
once DOS was a "standard" and claimed open systems Microsoft quickly added
more and more attachments that developers could use to save time. Common
packages for user made new applications easier.
They spent a great deal
of time and effort recruiting and training and supporting 100’s of thousands
of developers and system managers.
Soon
MS became to only game in town and then the evil empire
attacked by replacing the programs ( or buying them
) for the most profitable applications - office suite.
They almost wiped
out WordPerfect, Corel, Novell, Lotus and took over a big hunk of IBM’s
market share.
This
is exactly what Linux ( being really open ) hopes to do.
Since
everyone else H-P, IBM, Oracle SUN, have a real interest in being Windows
free - why not ?
Linux
can run windows applications, will have a GUI ( graphic user interface
) and be free in it’s basic form. You can but a CD which will partition
your hard drive and set up dual boot ( boot into windows or Linux ) and
have programs that will work on either system. If it stays open ( which
it will ) it could be a whole lot better in a years or two than windows.
Windows has gotten hopeless blotted, patched, and over complex so it CRASHES.
Since Linux is open to improvements from the community it should be better.

for current updates Indeed, Yahoo has just announced a strategy to
capitalize on this move, bringing "Yahoo Everywhere" to European mobile
phones! Steve Boom, Yahoo Europe's director of business development, explains
in the June 10 IDG News (
http://www.pcworld.com/cgi-bin/pcwtoday?ID=11320
)
that,
"We want to make sure the experience [Yahoo users] get from the phone is
a full Yahoo experience."
And Yahoo also has designs on set top boxes and
other new communicating, computing, appliances...
Others are working on moving the Internet right to your pocket as well
- British Telecom, AT&T Wireless and other big players, is now working
towards implementing IP, the protocol that powers the Internet, right over
the airwaves to your pocket cell phone (
http://www.totaltele.com/secure/view.asp?ArticleID=22675&Pub=tt&categoryid=0
).
And this, according to Ericsson's senior manager of wireless strategy Filip
Lindell, could mark,
"...the end of the circuit-switched telecommunications world."
Such activity is not just taking place in Europe. Motorola and Sun have
entered into an agreement
http://www.corporate-ir.net/ireye/ir_site.zhtml?ticker=
mot&script=410&layout=7&item_id=35469 ) to implement a
wireless IP infrastructure beginning in 2001 that would provide the wireless
equivalent,
"...of
near-infinite dial tone; ...a claim that only the wireline industry can
make today."
The
market for the bandwidth and the appliances is global - with billions of
clients world wide.
The
money is in software now moving from "programs" to content.
The content
will be interactive media that includes program functions. ISP such as
AOL, will provide multimedia E-mail as a word processor that can handle
graphics, photographs, soon video and data files.
The browser becomes a
universal systems package do all the most common functions as plug-ins.
BROADBAND IS HERE
chello broadband n.v. (chello),
www.chello.com, Europe's first and leading broadband internet service provider and an
operating company of United Pan-Europe Communications (UPC),
chello broadband allows cable customers throughout Europe to benefit from the
m@ximum internet experience; always on, super-fast broadband internet service for a
flat fee each month running across AORTA, Europe's first and largest broadband IP
network and the largest European distributed caching service. Near CD quality sound, pin
sharp pictures and a full range of global, national and local content partners are
offered -- all in the language of the country in which the service is offered.

The USB universal serial bus ties to printers, sound and video systems,
play stations, phones, keyboards and voice commands, other appliances and
services. Microsoft-NBC-General Electric, merge into a
convergence of media
and communications services. Time-Warner, the News Corp., Disney-ABC, are
positioning themselves for the transformation of many business into one.
The current crop of Internet stocks are unlikely to be very important.
Other
business includes finance, matching buyers and sellers, and a thousand
other ideas and items.
The ISP becomes a bank and travel agent, department
store, and service center. Wal-mart, Sears and other may need their own
ISP. Clients will pay the ISP for telephone service, cable, lease of hardware,
Internet, credit, and may buy their insurance, tickets, or dishes from
a company they trust, so it all adds up.
A
limited set of functions and libraries in or around a CPU, with the capacities
of a play station, will run a package of on demand utilities called from
the network. Once there is a break in the bandwidth, your browser can quickly
call down any packages it may need - high speed smart updates means you
don’t have to have everything stored. Office systems can do this now but
are afraid to be pioneers with arrows in their backs. Once Sun, Oracle,
IBM or others really have high performance objective networks there will
be no need for the bloated windows operation systems.
The
market often is as slow as the political process in facing the inevitable
forces of technology and social history. Cartels and semi-monopolies are
the natural outcome of free competition because organizations can join
together to control markets.
The
robber barons of the late 19th and early 20th century, such as Morgan,
Carnegie, Mellon, Rockefeller, Stanford, Dupont controlled steel and oil,
railroads and chemicals. General Motors president Alfred P. Sloan worked
with the du Pont's to control the auto market. A U.S. Court of Appeals
finds that Aluminum Co. of America (Alcoa) held a 90 percent monopoly in
U.S. aluminum ingot production before the war, a monopoly enjoyed by the
Mellons for more than half a century. See RCA (NBC - Victor ) below..
Sun's
McNealy portrays perils of running the Wintel 'gauntlet' ) ( Windows/intel
)
http://www.excite.com/computers_and_internet/tech_news/zdnet/?article=zdnews2.inp
Scott
McNealy, CEO of Sun Microsystems Inc., one could easily draw the conclusion
that most of the ills in the computer industry stem from one company and
one company only.
The
charismatic McNealy used large portions of his keynote address here Thursday
at Sun's JavaOne developers conference, as well as a subsequent press conference,
to paint Microsoft Corp. as a ruthless monopoly destroying companies and
promoting a flawed business model.
"
The
market economy works until somebody gets so much market power that they
are beyond market principles," he said.
McNealy
said Microsoft's monopoly on the desktop through the Windows operating
system enables it to sell "bloat" like Office 2000 that people have to
buy.
"
The
other opportunity it has is to go out and buy little companies that wouldn't
normally be successful, bundle them into their Windows or Office hairball
and use their lock-in and monopoly leverage to make them successful and
drive everyone else out of business," McNealy said. "That makes everybody
want to sell their company for a price lower than they want to because
if you're not the one bought, you're done."
One
of the best examples of how new technologies can be dominated by powerful
forces that control standards was the companion development of hardware
( Radios, phonographs, and then television ) as well as soft ware, the
programming, records and content necessary to sell the product. People
won’t buy radios or TV if there are no stations, there can’t be stations
until people have radios or TVs. RCA supported the networks in order to
sell radios.
Then they made more from the broadcasting then they did from
hardware.
Sarnoff,
David, 1891–1971, American radio and television pioneer; b. Russia. He
worked for the Marconi Wireless Co., winning recognition as the narrator
of the Titanic disaster (1912). After the Radio Corp. of America absorbed
(1921) Marconi, Sarnoff became general manager. As president (after 1930)
and chairman of the board (from 1947) of RCA, he played a major role in
the development of television.
A
superheterodyne circuit developed by U.S. Army Signal Corps major Edwin
Howard Armstrong, 26, became the basic design for all amplitude modulation
(AM) radios. It greatly increases the selectivity and sensitivity of radio
receivers over a wide band of frequencies (see 1906; FM, 1933). Radio Corp.
of America (RCA) was founded by Owen D. Young (see 1919) who loans Ernst
Alexanderson to RCA which will employ him as chief engineer for 5 years
(see 1906). RCA acquired the Victor Co. and become a radio-phonograph colossus
but anti-trust court actions will separate RCA from GE (see VICTROLA, 1906;
NBC, 1926). David Sarnoff urges marketing of a simple "radio music box."
The American Marconi Co. says his plan will make the radio "a ‘household
utility’ in the same sense as the piano or phonograph" (see 1912; 1920).
American
radio and television pioneer who proposed the first commercial radio receiver
and in 1926 formed the National Broadcasting Company.
The first vinylite
phonograph record appears in October. RCA-Victor issues a new recording
of the 1895 Richard Strauss work Till Eulenspiegels Lustige Streiche, but
vinylite will not displace shellac until the perfection of long-playing
records (see 1948).

Dis-inter-mediation
= remove the intermediary i.e. the middle people.
Starting
with the Protestant reformation which removed "
The Church" as an intermediary
between man and God, where faith and practice are founded on the principles
of individual acceptance of the Bible as the sole source of revelation,
in justification by faith alone, and in the universal priesthood of all
the believers.
disintermedation
was used in the American Revolution where the "king" was removed between
man and the state.
disintermedation
was used in banking when corporations raised their own money on the "money
market" and brokers and "money managers" began to perform the functions
of traditional banking. SEE DISTANCE
for
ways to remove the middlemen in your life. Bill Gates used the idea in
retail sales - direct links between buyer and producer - and direct provision
of services - banking, broker, travel, news and other media being a few
and removing the wholesale retail links and costs. http://www.wiredbrain.net/bill-g.htm
Representative
government is partly an intermediary between the citizens and their public
agencies. * Forms of vouchers, scholarships, subsidies provide the user
with market choices. Instead of the government setting up a program the
state provides tokens for purchase of services - training, health, education,
being used now - there maybe room for more.

At
school, Klebold and Harris openly admired Hitler, hurled insults at minorities
and conducted a running feud with the school's athletes. In the presence
of adults, however, they were polite and friendly.
Klebold
lived in a home worth nearly $400,000, a modernistic cedar-and-glass structure
tucked between two huge stone formations on a rural road.
His
father, Thomas Klebold, 52, is a former geophysicist who now runs a mortgage
management business from his home. His mother, Susan, 50, has worked for
the Colorado community-college system for years, helping disabled students
gain access to education.
His
maternal grandfather, the late Leo Yassenoff, was a prominent Jewish philanthropist
in Columbus, Ohio,
The Columbus Dispatch reported today.
The Jewish Community
Center of Columbus was named for him.
The
unspoken failure of faith in the Future:
There
is a
Universal History of human progress
-
formed by the competitive evolution of technology and communications. Those
social groups that catch-on to advanced systems do better, have more stuff
and more military force than those who are stuck in traditional superstitions,
prejudices, and dogmatic beliefs. Competitive economic and political systems
simply work better than authoritarian, totalitarian, centralized dogmatic
systems. The real issue of the Y2K are conflict between a growing population
of youth with high expectations and the physical limits of the only planet
we have at this time.
The
European community, the WTO, the UN, and NATO are the community of nations
representing advanced forms of social, political and economic organization.
Serbia and tribal passions in Africa reflect dying and dysfunctional systems.
The use of technological force by the Community of Progressive, Liberal,
Democratic, free enterprise, societies is reflective of global standards.
Saudi Arabia can not persist in the 13th Century, or can conservative Islam
or Christians, right wing Republicans - et al.
But
why are we afraid to say so ?
In
the course of the actual attainment of selfish ends — an attainment conditioned
in this way by universality —there is formed
a system of complete interdependence, wherein the livelihood, happiness,
and legal status of one man isinterwoven with the livelihood, happiness,
and rights of all. On this system, individual
Happiness, &c., depend, and only in this connected system are they
actualized and secured
Social
ergonomics
:
The
second contradiction in future global society, after population and environment,
are between technology and social psychology. While there is a growing
understanding of human machine interface ( ergonomics ) there is little
understanding of how Information Technology ( IT ) effects social organization.
The thesis and antithesis of factories and liberal democratic capitalism
systems vs. traditional aristocratic agricultural cultures has given way
to open standards vs. traditional middle class "family" values.
While the
society has become more open due to competition there has been severe disruptions
due to social system failures.
The psychosocial functions of families,
clans, tribes, communities, religions, clubs and associations have not
been replaced by functional alternatives. Social disruption surface as
the social pathology of single parents, stress, crime, psychopathic diseases
of all kinds. Institutional weakness on a global scale displays structural
cracks in the foundations of business, legal, educational, political, military
and religious authority upon which the economy rests.
All social
animals
have
patterns of behavior which are very difficult to change. While we can breed
dogs that look very different they all retain certain of the wolf’s habits.
There are biological "groves" pre-wired in us as a breed including grammars
of
language and social relationships which define us as humans.
These have
not changed
.
The applied
science of Psychosocial
ergonomics designs social systems in the "grooves" of human nature
for the school, office organization or workplace, intended to maximize
productivity by reducing social stress and social breakdown or discomfort.
Taking
a big High School and breaking it up into smaller units where teachers
have long term contact with 50 rather than short term contact with 150
students creates a functional human community.
Close
your eyes and visualize a group of people working or playing together.
Imagine a productive social group such as a sports team, a work group,
a team of volunteers, a military unit, a dance group or theater playhouse
or any group of people working together even a family unit.
Spend
a moment and watch what is going on.
What
is the size of the group ?
How much direction or leadership is there ?
How do people coordinate their activities ?
Do all or most seem to know what they are doing ?
Do they know what others are doing ?
Do they appear to share goals ?
Did
anyone see a classroom or any educational activity ?
Why not - ?
Breaking
a big school into small human scale schools is not expensive or difficult
!
The
library and sports teams can be campus wide such as they are at Cambridge
and Oxford Universities.
These ancient institutions are made up of small
collages that are completely independent but share the university lecturer,
the library and the rowing teams. Since sports are the most important reason
for big schools no change is required in athletic, band or other programs
that need size.
Big
schools were sold by the FORD foundation in the 1950 as being more modern
and being able to offer a wider curriculum and specialized classes. This
rarely happens - how many schools have third year foreign language or physics
? BUT communications technology and the rise of the community college has
made size irrelevant. Another reason for big schools was the use of the
old high schools as middle schools - a bad idea if there every was one
of putting 12 to 14 year olds in big indifferent institutions. Multi-graded
classrooms are more natural at this age when development is so very different
for individuals and boys and girls. Special classes can be offered "campus
or district wide" or taken at the community college. Florida High School
- an on-line service offers Latin and other subject rarely taught at the
largest schools.
So
all you do is devise a way of sharing the power and authority and using
computers to process paper.
The learning, physical, emotionally, language,
challenged can be reported, tracked, planned and tested by Information
systems rather than mounds of forms in triplicate. * even using voice recorded
reports as doctors have learned to do.
Also called
biotechnology,
human engineering, human factors engineering . .
Rumors
of War:
Hearts
and Minds:
How
to influence enemies and win friends.
The
air war in Serbia has made clear the lack of understanding of how to manage
international relation in the new world order.
Pressure
101:
First
stage:
Talk
and carry gifts: Stage I is the normal process of giving and withholding
love, and goodies.
The goodies are aid, military assistance, and the love
are privileges for particular friends.
The Ambassador, the Military Attaché,
and the US-AID can be helpful or not. Examples in Latin America - it requires
knowledge of who wants what, when and how ?
The rotation of staff almost
mandates ignorance of local needs and desires.
Second
Stage:
Withdraw
all the goodies, create visa problems, withhold assets, tie up trade and
tourism, begin to assist political enemies and building a "democratic"
front ( such as in Europe in the 1940’s), start psychological warfare.
Examples in Africa, ( i.e. South Africa before reform ) where certain friends
are being uncooperative or have been too long in power. Requires a functional
clear policy with desired outcomes and a station chief who knows what's
what.
Third
Stage:
Political,
diplomatic and covert warfare. Greater assistance to local and international
opposition, news, use of labor and youth organizations, including disruption
of travel, trade, business, banking, moving toward sanctions under Chapter
7 at the UN, forming political and military allies, such as against Iran.
Requires good international contacts and cooperation. Examples are Libya
or Syria.
fourth
Stage:
Actual
embargoes, blockades of critical materials, covert sabotage, such as against
East Germany and Cuba. Requires resources in place and very careful controls
to prevent undesired confrontations and revenge. This is a short term policy
not useful for decades as in Cuba.
Fifth
Stage:
Threats
of war, aid to our enemies - enemies, movement of troops and aircraft,
arms supplied to native forces and bribes and "secret wars" such as against
Cambodia in the 60's, Afgans in the 80's and against Germany in the 30’s
and 40's.
Then
direct military action. Each stage has to be able to reduce and well as
increase pressure. You have to be able to move up and down quickly rather
than get frozen in place.

Patriotism
and other Virtues:
The
War ends not with a bang but in a Wimper
The
joint Congress-Duma statement calls for ``a parallel solution to three
tasks'' -- an end to NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, withdrawal of Serbian
troops from Kosovo and the cessation of the military activities of the
separatist Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) guerrillas.
``We
know it can be done. We have to stop saying 'who should do what first',''
said Weldon.
The
five permament members of the United Nations Security Council, together
with Macedonia, Albania, Yugoslavia and the ''recognized leadership of
Kosovo'' would then agree on the make-up of armed international forces
to administer the province.
Organizing
Schools into Small Units:
EXCITE
SEARCH
Small
schools - HS schools under 500, middle schools under 250, and elementary
under 125 - have almost no problems with discipline and perform much better.
There are so few of these schools ( even in rural areas ) that the numbers
are difficult - but it makes sense - everyone knows everyone - they can't
fall between the cracks -
The
critical elements are that students have to apply to a school ( theme schools,
technology, science and math, arts, etc.) and can be "selected out". If
no other school will take them they are assigned to alternative education.
Second,
the goals are set but the means are open. If the students can pass
external
exams there are no rules about hours, teacher requirements, credits etc.
Now we require means but not outcomes - it should be the other way around.
A
building is not a school. It
can be made into many schools
. - you can take a 2000+ school such as in Colorado and divide it into
five schools - real schools ( not pretend houses or teams ) as has been
done for 25 years at Harlem
Community
School District 4, East Harlem, New York.
