中国の脅威、衛星破壊やサイバー攻撃…英戦略研
【ロンドン＝林路郎】英国際戦略研究所（ＩＩＳＳ）は７日、世界１７１か国・地域の軍事力を分析した「ミリタリー・バランス２０１２年版」を公表。
中国の台頭や米国の将来的役割への疑問、北朝鮮への不安などから、アジア地域で、各国が互いの戦略を理解しないまま軍拡競争を起こしていると警告した。
中国については、過去１０年で軍事費が２・５倍に達し、経済成長のペースを上回ったと指摘。ステルス性の高い次世代戦闘機Ｊ２０や、整備が進む初の空母「ワリャーグ」に注目が集まるものの、真の懸念材料は衛星破壊兵器や巡航ミサイル、サイバー攻撃能力などとした。
また、「２０５０年までに米国の対等なライバルになるという中国の目標は達成可能だ」と分析した。

成田つくなり米国かぶれもんの文句ですいませんがね、言わせて下さい。日本男児、あんたらなんでそんなに不遜なの。やってもらって当たり前とは思わないけど、「米国では」の枕詞遣いたくないけど、でもでも。お年寄りや子供や女性に優しくなさすぎる。。。
— 橋本陶子さん (@tokokick) 3月 7, 2012よくある米国かぶれの不遜で間違った説教。
子供や年よりはともかく、女が女を子供や年寄り同様の弱者として扱われることを望んでいるようでは情けない。
日本でフェミが根付かない所以かもしれない。
また、「米国では」しかじかで、日本はしかじかでない、から、日本はおかしい、という誤った推論、欧米中心主義的推論からはやく脱却してほしい。

Caught in a gang war on the school run
One mother’s terrifying account of why her middle-class neighbourhood suddenly doesn’t feel so safe any more...

Our street no longer feels safe — groups of hooded, spliff-smoking youths patrol the pavements as though they own them. Just weeks ago, when late for school pick-up, I challenged a group of teenagers to make way for my pram, asking them if they really expected me to push my child into the busy road.
They turned on me, becoming verbally abusive and threatening. Determined not to be a victim for a second time, I pushed my way through them. And then a bottle was thrown in my direction — it smashed into a parked car nearby.

Drug Policy as Race Policy: Best Seller Galvanizes the Debate
Published: March 6, 2012
Today, Professor Alexander writes, nearly one-third of black men are likely to spend time in prison at some point, only to find themselves falling into permanent second-class citizenship after they get out. That is a familiar argument made by many critics of the criminal justice system, but Professor Alexander’s book goes further, asserting that the crackdown was less a response to the actual explosion of violent crime than a deliberate effort to push back the gains of the civil rights movement.
Professor Alexander, who is black, knew that African-Americans were overrepresented in prison, though she resisted the idea that this was anything more than unequal implementation of colorblind laws. But her work as director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s Racial Justice Project in Northern California, she said, opened her eyes to the extent of the lifelong exclusion many offenders face, including job discrimination, elimination from juries and voter rolls, and even disqualification from food stamps, public housing and student loans.
“The main thrust,” she said, “is to show how historically both our conscious and unconscious biases and anxieties have played out over and over again to birth these vast new systems of social control.”

Native Americans disrupt Keystone XL Pipeline construction
Get short URL email story to a friend print version
Published: 08 March, 2012,
Dozens of Native Americans made a human blockade to keep trucks transporting materials for the Keystone XL Pipeline from entering their land this week. The peaceful protest ended with at least five arrests.
As many as 75 members of a Native American tribe in the state of South Dakota attempted to create a man-made road block on Monday in hopes of halting two tractor trailers that were en route to Canada. According to reports, two trucks hauling materials to be used on the Keystone XL Pipeline attempted to cross into the Pine Ridge Reservation, prompting natives opposed to the oil project to gather en masse and effort a blockade.
Members of the Oglala Lakota tribe are against plans for the pipeline, saying construction could compromise their water supply in two locations, potentially damaging the Earth and poisoning their people for the sake of profit. The Obama administration recently put a halt on one proposed pathway for the pipeline that the White House argues would have detrimental effects on the water source for eight states. TransCanada, the Canadian company involved, plans to begin construction later this year on an alternate route that they feel will be approved by US officials, though.
“America is built on stolen land and was built with stolen hands. XL Pipeline equipment, anything that has to do with the destruction of Unci Maka (Mother Earth), we don’t want any part of it. They need to stay out of our territory,” Lakota activist Olowan Martinez tells Raw Story.
Best incentive yet for improving your diet: How fruit and veg could make you cuter
Scientists at St Andrews University found that increasing portions of fruit and vegetables subtly increased yellow and red pigments in volunteers' skin. They monitored the food intake of 35 people and took pictures of their faces, arms and hands using a sensitive camera at the start, and after three and six weeks. Before and after photographs (above) were rated for their attractiveness.
