James Joyner: Washington's Losing Streak
tags: foreign policy, Vietnam War, Korean War, Iraq War, James Joyner, Afghan War, National InterestJames Joyner is managing editor of the Atlantic Council.
As we approach the tenth anniversary of the American invasion of Iraq on March 20, it's worth reflecting on the fact that it has been nearly seventy years since America's last successful major war.
On August 15, 1945, known as Victory Over Japan Day or V-J Day, the Japanese unconditionally surrendered, marking the end of the Second World War and establishing the United States as a superpower. Since that day, the United States has lost three major wars—Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq—and is counting down the months until its loss in Afghanistan.
To be sure, we won the Cold War, which was surely more important than those four combined. But that was fundamentally a contest of political systems and economies. We wouldn't have prevailed without a powerful military and a great military alliance with NATO. But it wasn't a war in a literal sense—and we lost the two major wars (Korea and Vietnam) waged as part of it....

- Heat the stock in a small pan and add the salmon and pollack. Simmer gently for 5 mins, then turn off the heat and leave to sit for 5 mins more. Remove the fish, keeping the stock, and flake into large chunks, removing bones as you go. Spread onto the base of 1 large or 2 smaller overnproof dishes with the prawns, peas, dill and green beans.
- Pour the wine, reserved stock and cream into a pan and simmer to reduce a little. Mix the cornflour to a paste with 1 tbsp of the sauce and whisk back into the sauce, simmering until thickened. Pour over the fish and veg and leave to cool a little while you make the topping.
- Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 10-15 mins. Drain and steam-dry for a few mins, then return to the pan with the olive oil, spring onions and half the cheese and chives. Season, crush lightly with a fork or potato masher, then spoon over the fish. Sprinkle on the remaining cheese and chives.
- To eat straight away, heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Cook for 25-30 mins until the topping is golden and filling bubbling. To freeze, allow pies to cool completely, then wrap well and freeze. Defrost fully overnight and cook as above, just adding 10 mins to the cooking time. Or cook from frozen: cover with foil and cook at 180C/160C fan/gas 4 for 1 hr 45 mins, then remove foil and turn up to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 for 45 mins more, ensuring it is piping hot before serving.

That was a crazy ending. At least the Invisibles figured it out themselves. But the taxi driver alliance wasn't really fair. I'm not complaining, though. This result works very, very well for me.
I didn't pick the boarders, either.
It is a shame, though, that the boarders lost this way. Two of the other teams got lucky with their cabs, onl the Invisibles figured it out. I know things aren't always fair, and yes, the boarders were getting cocky, but still, it's too bad.
I like the NFL player and his wife, but other than that, I'll feel sort of let down if either of the other two teams win - particularly the invisibles.
"The Devil is joining in, and that's never a good sign." Phil Liggett
I'm happy for the teams that made the final. There haven't been any teams who really got on my last nerve or who were so dumb they were entertaining. My favourites were Ma and Pa and the boarders but the final should definitely be interesting. Cindy has no excuse for finishing second this time. The Boarders aren't there to outrun them.
I didn't care for the Boarders either.
However, they seemed to take being eliminated nicely; and they have all those prizes/trips to enjoy!
I'm kind of excited for the top three, mostly because there isn't a clear front runner in the bunch. All three have screwed up majorly in this race, and all three have had moments of brilliance. I liked the Boarders, but I think if they had made it to the final, it would've almost been a foregone conclusion as to who would win. I'm rooting for NFL, but I don't know if I'll pick them in the prediction contest.
Very interesting. At least the team that figured out came in first. It would have been a damned shame if they had been passed on the way to the mat.
AceOn6, the golf loving skating fan
Boarders, how could you do this to me
and the sharing cab companies! UGH!!! I soooooo hate that kind of stuff.
Nex season, no one shares with anyone should be the new rule.
Really, really, really disappointed that the team that has easily been the best in now out.
I really could not care less who wins ...
Crazy about sports!
Well, I don't really see how a rule like that would be enforceable in this situation. As I said upthread, the teams repeatedly told their cab drivers not to share information - none of them wanted to share info given that they thought that they were racing for spots #2 and 3 in the final. The cab drivers didn't listen. What else are the teams supposed to do?
The ending of last night's eppy was definitely interesting ... frustrating and kinda exciting all at once. But I must admit that I FFwded through most of the episode. Dunno, I've really loved this season, but ala last season when the Cowboys went out 5th (grrrrrrr ... frigging answer sharing bullsh*t!), Ma & Pa's exit left me not caring so much about who wins.
le sigh
I want Marcus and Amani to win, but nobody tell that evil bint Prancer. She needs to pick the Invisibles to win.
Adelina Sotnikova defeated the curse of Esta She is indeed the Greatest Of All Time!
If rfisher wants NFL to win and we get Prancer to root for the Invisibles, I guess that means congratulations to Ernie & Cindy.
Not my favourite person in the bunch either, but I respect her game play. I notice that when one of these players puts another in charge of a task, they allow that person to do the task, without trying to micro manage. Cindy is so precise and seems to like to be in control, but she has such trust in Ernie that she lets him do things his way. Letting go is not easy for a control freak but she seems to trust him completely.

Of all St. Petersburg's attractions, the country estate of Peterhof is perhaps the place that inspires the greatest pride among the city's population. Extravagant and bombastic in parts, elegant and relaxed in others, Peterhof's palace and grounds are a more than ample testimony to the crazy opulence of Tsarist Russia. The steps leading down from the palace to the lower gardens run next to the Grand Cascaden, a large area comprised of nearly 150 fountains, glittering golden statues and checkered ceramic.

Directions to arrive are quite bad--IT IS NOT LOCATED WHERE GOOGLE SHOWS IT TO BE, and their website doesn't show it either (it's the worst location of all the boats on the river, just keep walking west until you see it). The room was clean but tiny, poorly designed, not enough TP, tiny windows (no view). You can stay at Botel Gracia for the same price with a much larger room, better view, and 20 minutes closer to the old town. I go to BA often, but will never stay here again.

Nice location, friendly staff and working WiFi. Our room was not cleaned after the first night, and so we lacked toilet paper and soap in our room. Also, breakfast was lacking choice for our second morning as we woke up late. Apart from that, very nice hostel, and having breakfast on the Danube is definitely worth it!

Deep in a magazine so old its pages have yellowed over time, I found a story on how to fish a jig by former Cleveland newspaperman Hank Andrews. In the 40 years or so since that piece ran, several thousand other articles in various publications have covered the subject, and that doesn't count numerous television segments or Internet chat room discussions. My point is that anglers today have access to unprecedented amounts of information, and as a result, those who are even remotely serious have mastered the mechanics of fishing the sport's most effective baits. This has leveled the playing field to the point that even those after-work tournaments are highly competitive. It's also the reason we are not going to cover nuances here; those little tricks for making cranks, spinner-baits or topwaters more effective. But I do want you to consider this question: Why is it, despite this wide spread pool of knowledge and skill, that a relative few anglers are consistently more successful than the masses? The key to success today is finding fish that others don't, and one piece to this difficult puzzle is understanding both the fish you are targeting and its prey. But don't be duped into thinking that success is always as simple as find-the-prey, match-the-hatch, because it isn't. I've always wondered why fish eat night-crawlers. After all, the odds of the average bass or walleye encountering a nightcrawler naturally introduced into the system are tiny. They don't feed on them consistently, if ever. So, why are they so deadly? In this discussion, keep a couple things in mind: At a minimum, understanding the relationship between predator and prey will help you focus your search for fish. In other cases, it will not only help you find them, it will help you develop the best approach for catching fish that day. One final thought. There appears to be a very real difference in the role prey plays in determining predator location in Southern versus Northern waters, but more on that in a minute. Forage And Gamefish "Research Update" columnist Dr. Hal Schramm is a professor in the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries at Mississippi State University and sums up the predatory/prey relationship succinctly. "If you want to catch the predator, know the prey," he says. "When a predator wants a meal, it has to go where the food is. If it's a bluegill, it's going to pick invertebrates off plants, logs and sticks. If it's a bass, it may lie in ambush and wait for something edible to pass by. Bass master Classic winner and NAFC Fishing Advisory Council member Kevin VanDam has a similar view. "Knowing a lake's seasonal habitats and the forage base is going to put you where the fish are." Prey, purely defined, is anything a fish eats, and that covers a lot of things from small fish to insects. You hear many top anglers break bait down into two main types, open-water species like shad, herring, ciscoes and smelt, and those that relate to in shore cover, like bluegills. Some anglers, like NAFC Life Member Bill Siemantel, break forage down even further, looking at bottom baits like nymphs, crayfish and sculpins, those in open water like shad, and in his home waters of California, trout. There are also foods on or above the surface in the form of frogs and even birds. Siemantel uses forage and forage position in lure selection and approach; in some cases he wants to match the hatch, in others he wants a bait that stands out. Spotlight Your Lure Siemantel has caught more than 400 bass over 10 pounds, most coming from highly pressured waters, so his resume commands respect. His thoughts on mimicking forage are not only unique but counter to what most anglers have learned. "I try to create the illusion of realism to get bass to do what they normally do," he says. "The closer I get to cover and structure the more erratically I work the bait because that's what typically happens. Watch a shad underwater. They swim smoothly until they meet a stick or rock, then they flare. People don't get that. If you create this, a predator will hit." On the other hand, Siemantel sometimes goes out of his way to stand out. He shares one such situation. "When I'm fishing a big ball of shad, I tie a barrel swivel in front of a soft bait fluke and leave tag ends of line off the swivel," he says. "It does a couple things. When you rip it hard, the swivel and tag ends hit the baitfish in front of the fluke, popping scales off the shad. It also opens up the water, creating a 'sphere of influence' that draws predators to it." He says this is important because the downfall of matching the hatch is that your lure looks just like all the other forage—and how does a predator pick your bait out of 5,000 real baitfish? "You have to change sizes, colors or something to spotlight that lure so you're not competing with the rest of those shad. In the case of the swivel with tag ends, you've isolated your bait and spotlighted it. You created a sphere around it." VanDam relates his experience on waters with blueback herring. "Probably the most selective I have ever seen bass is in herring lakes," he says. "That's where it is really critical to match the color, size, and location of those herring. Bass key on them, and they prefer them over anything else. These lakes might have a good shad population, too, but those bass know the herring are there for the taking and maybe they're easier to catch." Structure vs. Bait When rating the predator/prey relationship relative to structural elements, weather patterns, water temperatures and other factors, it seems each angler has a different reason to put it higher or lower on their priority list. While VanDam considers the predator/prey relationship a very important factor in determining bass location and lure choice, my old friend and a long-time fishing educator Spence Petros sticks to the opposite end of the spectrom. He admits he is an advocate of depth and speed control, which is the old Buck Perry style of fishing. "I don't think it's always a forage-related thing," he says. "I think in many cases fish hold on good structure, and whatever comes by to eat, comes by. The most important thing is to learn the structure and habitat of the fish as opposed to where the food is. Depth, speed control and not spending too much time on a non-productive spot are the most important considerations." Still, Petros doesn't ignore forage. "If there is an abundant, easy-to-access forage base, gamefish will take advantage of it," he says. "If you have a big perch hatch and you can't find smallmouths on the rocks in summer, they're probably in the weeds chasing baby perch. If there's a full moon, lows in the 40s, and a fall tulibee migration toward rocky spawning areas, pike and muskies will follow that." Petros also points out that not every individual of a given predator species will be doing the same thing at the same time—even on the same lake. "There might be a group of walleyes suspending to eat open-water forage while others are weed-related, eating bluegills, perch, shiners and suckers," he says. That brings up a good question: In waters with multiple forage species, which one do you key on? Here's an example that might help clarify such situations. Years ago, I was fishing a tournament with Ted Takasaki on Big Stone Lake, a reservoir on the Minnesota River. On the first day of competition the wind was blowing, so we pitched jigs into wind-blown rock shorelines. We caught fish that were eating the crayfish and minnows stirred up by the wind. The next day was flat calm, and the spots where we caught fish on Day 1 were no longer productive—the walleyes were simply gone. Instead, the anglers who pulled crank baits out on the main lake caught fish. In other words, when the wind died, the deep suspended shad became the preferred target. Lessons Learned The more I travel to fish, the more I've realized that I use forage as the starting point when developing a plan for fishing any new water, particularly in the South. VanDam takes it a step further. "When you look at how differently bass act in the many regions of the country, it's clear that it's not the area that makes them do that; it's the forage," he says. "Bass act totally different in a system with blueback herring than in a system where shad is the main forage. Go to a natural Northern lake that has no open-water baitfish, and bass eat bluegills, crayfish and stuff like that, and their behavior is different still." VanDam's mention of South versus North is interesting, because Schramm brings it up, too. "When I compare bass North to South, there is a difference," he says. "During summer in the South, I have to go to where bass are feeding. In the North, I just go where bass are. There is so much good cover in Northern lakes and the cover holds so much food, I just fish. In the South, on a lake like Pickwick for instance, I look for the shad." Which takes us back to Petros' point—good structure. In many waters, particularly in the North, the best structure, particularly with good cover, holds predators and forage. This also holds true in many natural lakes in the South. Lingering Questions So how do we explain those periods when using a lure that resembles the forage won't generate a bite and yet a plastic worm or spinner bait gets hammered? And as Petros puts it, "What do fish feed on chartreuse?" I posed this question to VanDam. "I believe, especially in the case of plastic worms and lizards, that most bites are actually reaction strikes," he says. "The lure drops through the grass and a bass bites it, thinking it's a bluegill or shad darting by. It moves, so it must be edible." VanDam's philosophy holds when fish get a better look at the bait, too. "Even if you're fishing a shaky worm in a really clear body of water, I don't think bass necessarily think it's a nightcrawler," he says. "It could be anything from a leech to a shiner to a sculpin. They're just seeing movement and going for it. We probably put too much into our thought process, because bass seem engineered to go after anything that moves." Final Perspectives Space considerations limit going any deeper on the role of forage in determining fish location. There's plenty here to chew on for the time being. I can guarantee this: If you haven't been giving forage much thought, doing so will open a new world filled with concepts, theories and, of course, no easy answers. This is the reason so few anglers have mastered the art of consistently finding fish and all the more reason for you to move in that direction. Case In Point: Fall Flexbait Walleyes For years, long time walleye tournament angler Marty Glorvigen has lived for ink-black nights during fall's new moon. That's when spawning ciscoes push up onto shallow rocky points en masse, followed by walleyes. Glorvigen would follow, too, trolling shad-style crankbaits into the rocks at 1 1⁄2 to 2 1⁄4mph. The approach sometimes worked—but failed almost as often. "The only time I could catch many walleyes was when they were really active—feast or famine. It was one of those things that haunted me," he laughs. So it was one October night a few years ago. After about four hours of trolling traditional crankbaits, he hadn't caught a single fish. In desperation, he picked up a bass rod he had on hand and tied on a Strike King King Shad, a sinking segmented "flexbait" that looked extremely similar to the lake's native ciscoes. "I started trolling it just like a normal crankbait, banging bottom—and nothing was happening. But then the bait got stuck, so I backed up the boat and popped the rodtip to free the lure. That's when I saw my line take off. It was a 5 1⁄2-pound walleye." So, Glorvigen changed his approach, crawling the boat along at about 1 mph, while sweeping the rod forward and then letting the lure fall back on slack line. "It was totally unbelievable. I started catching one walleye after another, and the takes were incredible, they would just smash the lure." After coming upon the pattern, Glorvigen tested it on other waters with strong cisco populations, using other segmented lures such as the Strike Pro Phantom, and it came through in those fisheries as well. He continues to test and tweak the presentation, and his findings lead him to believe action sometimes plays a bigger role in triggering fish than a bait's mere resemblance to the preferred forage. "This goes one layer deeper than the match-the-hatch stuff. This pattern is centered on a type of lure that not only matches the hatch—it matches the motion of what's actually triggering walleyes to bite in this situation: a dying cisco falling out of the school. The lesson is one anglers can put to work whether they fish walleyes or wahoo: Just because you decipher the predator/prey connection, the work doesn't stop there. To ensure consistent success, anglers must also predict what specific prey will trigger an attack from neutral to negative fish, and then create a presentation that matches that. It could mean imparting a different action to the lure, or choosing a lure style that does so. In the case of Glorvigen's fall night-bite walleyes, it was both.—Ryan Gilligan

Through her research on twins and the genetic components of aggression, scientist Jeannie Ferrami makes a startling discovery. Using a restricted FBI database, she finds two young men who appear to be identical twins: Steve, a law student, and Dennis: a convicted murderer. Yet they were born on different days, to different mothers, in hospitals hundreds of miles apart.As Ferrami delves into their backgrounds, she unwittingly locks horns with some of the most powerful forces in America, including the university where she works, The New York Times, even the Pentagon.
What secret has Ferrami uncovered? Can she trust her boss and mentor, or must she put her life in the hands of Steve Logan, the twin she finds herself falling in love with--even though he's surrounded by intrigue and suspicion? But one thing is certain: There are those who will stop at nothing to keep their chilling conspiracy in the shadows. . . .

I have a question regarding PPP when using the Bayesian estimator. In Muth�n, B. & Asparouhov, T. (2011), it says low PPP indicates poor fit but also says a PPP around 0.5 indicates an excellent-fitting model. However, in my analysis, I had a PPP about 0.99. Did this indicate a poor fit model or a good fit model? Thanks.

If PPP is around 0.36, is that a very poor fit?

This would indicate good fit. You are looking for values greater than .05. A value of .5 would indicate excellent fit.

Is it ever acceptable to use the ppp from a Bayesian analysis to compute a Bayes Factor between two models, or is it always preferable to use the BIC? (Assuming you have enough draws to believe it as a point estimator). I read a recent article by Meng in the Annals of Statistics which frowned on doing so, but it seems that argument is based on "using the same data twice," which we also did when using the BIC. Any thoughts from anyone?

I haven't seen any methodology on computing BF using PPP. PPP definition typically involves just 1 model while BF involves 2 models. Note also that PPP can be defined in many ways and the way it is defined in Mplus has nothing to do with what is in Meng's article. Mplus uses SEM style chi2 fit function.
If you want to compare PPP and BF testing power and quality I would recommend looking at a simulation study.

I had just meant dividing the PPP from one model by the PPP from another model. Looking at just a few calculations, it doesn't sem to work very well in practice relative to using, say, the BIC. Thanks for clearing up my confusion on Meng's article, though!

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive brain disease and is becoming a major public health issue in the United States. Approximately 5.2 million Americans have Alzheimer's disease, 340,000 of those are Texans. Unless a cure or prevention is found, that number is expected to increase to between 11 and 16 million by 2050. Alzheimer's is a disease of the brain that causes a steady decline in memory, thinking and behavior that is severe enough to interfere with everyday life. How rapidly the disease progresses varies from person to person, but all affected individuals experience confusion, personality changes, impaired judgment, and eventually can no longer care for themselves. Alzheimer's disease is a terminal illness. As the disease progresses, more and more of the brain is affected. Eventually the areas that control basic life functions, like swallowing and breathing, become irreversibly damaged. The Alzheimer's Disease Program was established by legislative mandate in 1987 to provide information and support to Alzheimer's patients, their families, and long term care providers. The program works to increase awareness of the disease and to address its burden on individuals living with Alzheimer's and those who care for them through statewide strategic planning with the Texas Council on Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders and the many dedicated volunteers of the Texas Alzheimer's Disease Partnership.

Gold Digger: Throne of Shadows
Series: Antarctic Press Gold Digger Throne Of Shadows
publisher: Antarctic Press
product type: digital comic/eComic (Mini Series)
The parents of were-rat Lydia Iceron, leaders of the were-rat clan, recently engineered their own demise after assuring that Lydia was properly trained to survive their absence, and she had two friends whom she could trust absolutely. Now Lydia has inherited the Throne of Shadows, which allows its rightful heir to read underling minds. However, she doesn't want the throne or its power - she'd prefer to take the money and run with her friends Moisha and Romeo. Worse still, several former members of the Crime Syndicate-X organization do want it, and are willing to cause Lydia and her friends any amount of pain and suffering to get it!

Comment: Re:Textbook Publishers (Score 2, Insightful) 208
"Indeed, to the uninitiated, scholarly publishing is a curious enterprise. Simplified, it works something like this: universities or the government subsidize a professor's research. The professor, who is required to publish frequently for professional advancement, gives his research to a scholarly publisher, usually for little or no money. That publisher, who adds value through editing, peer review, and production, assumes the copyright, packages, and sells the research back to the university at a markup. And those mark-ups have proven significant over time, especially as the digital age has fostered an explosion of new databases and resources."
In my department (Electrical Engineering), new faculty are offered a support package to get started and then the faculty go out and get funding. At least 51% of the funding they find is paid to the University as overhead. It is difficult for faculty who don't have external funding to attract grad students or pay for computers. The funding comes from the Government, but much of it comes from corporations.
In my experience, publishers no longer do any editing. I had an expensive text book on "Quality" and the author misquoted John Kennedy. How could this get by an editor? Authors submit camera ready text to academic publishers.
In my experience, peer review is managed by an unpaid faculty member who distributes material to other unpaid faculty members who distribute the material to unpaid students who do the review and pass the review back up the chain. This is actually very good because it gets students to review the work of others.
The reality is that academic publishing is a dead-end. Journals are in trouble. Conference proceedings and self-publishing of text books are on the rise. Recently, he only thing that I've heard faculty say that publishers provide is that publishers sometimes show up at conferences with a table of books which faculty browse. This seems like a weak basis for a business.
Reading the TFA, it seems like the publishers should just settle. Georgia changed their ways.

NEW YORK The embattled long steel products market is likely heading toward a new pricing floor and any rebound is a long way off, according to a short-range forecast by the International Rebar Exporters and Producers Association (Irepas).
"(The) situation in general is very difficult, as the market is looking for a new direction and is probably heading towards a new baseline," the association said last week in its May forecast.
"The outlook still does not look very bright in the short term," Irepas said. "Consumers are trying to forecast the second half of 2013 but still see clouds on the horizon. After a long-standing low and flat market trend, we may see some improvements during the last quarter of the year."
Demand in the global long steel products market failed to recover in April, with business volumes showing significant declines in the overall global marketplace, "even though volumes are either unchanged or have increased in some regions," Irepas said.
Finished product prices in East Asia have fallen slightly due to an increase in Chinese output and supply, with no demand improvements in Europe.
In the Middle East and North Africa, political instability has hampered growth and protective measures imposed by countries such as Egypt and Morocco are set to further affect the region, Irepas said.
Prices fell in the U.S. market in April as supply improved as demand stayed flat, it said.
While demand remains a concern for long steel producers, scrap supply has picked up. "However, demand for scrap is also lower due to reduced steel production, as steel producers continue to adapt production levels to market conditions," Irepas said. "Consequently, further production cuts put a lot of pressure on scrap prices, helping steel producers to protect their margins, if they have any."
The news is not all dire, however, with business in such countries as Saudi Arabia and Qatar staying healthy. "Competition in the market is still very strong, while some market players seem to have already given up," the group said said. "Some steel producers are capitalizing on their advantages in terms of raw material costs. But in general the focus is mainly on securing new orders rather than on the competition issue under the current, very unstable market circumstances."
