First he is a Christian-Muslim by appearance, the birth certificate is a moot point now. What are they going to do, roll back everything he did over the first term? We have a undocumented President get over it. All they can do now is pass a law or better an amendment requiring original signature documents before taking office. The biggest reason Obama is still in office is because Biden is VP and scares conservatives as much as Palin scares liberals. If it wasn't for that they'd have pushed the birth cert harder or somebody would have shot him by now. Even assassinating Biden first would have put Pelosi in the VP spot, even worst than Biden. Palin in 2012 is going to be much more polished than what we saw being victimized by the liberals in the press in 2008, book tours, all those tea party speeches, no way is she going to be the same babe in the woods next time around. Palin could easily make Obama look like a patsy of Big-Oil because of the gulf spill, which happened not only on his watch but at his behest.
Sorry but that's strawman arguements, it's not a question of UHI, but the physical siting of the weather stations and their proximity to factors cause erroneous measurement. Additionally Menne, Williams, and Palecki (2010) were warned by Watts that due to the voluntary nature of the station survey, it's preliminary data would be statistically invalid because the easiest stations would be surveyed first and the more difficult stations to locate much later, Menne, Williams, and Palecki disregarded the caveat and published research based on known bad data against the wishes of the primary researcher.
USA record lows outpace record highs 19 to 1 this week, 539 new snowfall records were also set. The summary of new records of interest for the past week in the USA : High Temperatures: 18 Lowest Max Temperatures: 278 Low Temperatures: 336 Snowfall: 539
One name, Piers Corbyn, over at weatheraction, Corbyn just seems to get it. He's not much good for deciding if it'll rain on your picnic at noon, but if your looking for longterm trends he's the man.
The instrumentation was actually better, the new style equipment is digital and has to be cabled in, it's hard to install 30m from any heat source like a building when they only give you 10m of cable! Now we can read the 5C error to.01C!
I was graduating High School at that time so my memory maybe clearer, yet it confirms what you are stating. They were scaremongering a coming Ice age around then in the press and there were "scientists" willing to whore themselves out to the scaremongers then just like now. The winters I remember from the time were far more winterly, in High School I worked the tow booth at a ski area, we went out our back door to snowmobile or go sledding, all of that was impossible or difficult in the '80-'90, now looking like it's in the realm of possibilities again. The global does seem under a 30 and 60 year temperature oscillation, we've transitioned from a warmish period through 15 years of meandering temp and into a coolish period. It's happened before and it'll happen again and people will get alarmed and do the chicken little thing like always.
Your overwhelming evidence is continuing to be shown riddled with conformational bias and systemic errors, the renowned scientists a self-referential good-ol' boys network. Even the honest researchers have had to relied on the tainted data for their research which calls their conclusions into question through no fault of their own.
They extrapolate into areas that aren't covered so in some areas of the world one thermometer defines the temperature of a 1200Km radius circle. Also note that the graphic that DeadCatX2 linked to was for March 2010, not for November of 2010, since then we went into a strong El Nino which drops temp quite a bit, note the present rain/mudslides in California, snow in the mountains around Phoenix Az and snow in Washington-Oregon. It is warmer in the arctic, especially around Greenland where its in the neighborhood of -30 instead of the more typical -40.
I think Amazon is large enough that they should have very well defined policies on what they consider acceptable and unacceptable if for no other reason than to protect themselves from FTC unfair business practices charges or restraint of trade investigations.
I don't know about $500K but Maserati has a base MSRP of $118,900 to $136,300, Ferrari $192,000 to $310,543, McLaren has a MSRP of $245K, Then there is a big jump to the Bugatti Veryons with a base MSRP of $1,705,769 for the coupe and $1,990,064 for a convertible, but a convertible that goes 254MPH just seems wrong. I can't imagine them doing to much volume with those.
The thing that alarms me the most isn't that Amazon is censoring books for the Kindle that are present or future sales, but are censoring books already sold; they don't even have to go through the effort to physically burn the book, just click a mouse and all of the book sold are instantly unpublished like they had never existed. While I'm not exceptionally upset about the material they've sent into limbo this time around, the logical course of these actions should send shivers up the spine of any freedom loving person.
No it's "Cruel and Unusual", many traditional punishments are OK even if a bit cruel. Trained Military are also expected to be more tolerant of hardships than wussie civilians are too. Typically the confinement conditions required for temporary confinement like Manning is in or a civilian jail is quite a bit more spartan than what you would find in a prison which is a more permanent confinement typically for felons; Military prisons like Leavenworth never had been described as a federal country-club prison, nor has rehabilitation been a priority for them.
Duh, we didn't invade Iraq because they had WMD, we invaded because the UN weapons inspectors didn't find and were interfered for looking for the WMD they should have had. People really seem to have a problem separating reasons from excuses.
After the 9/11 attack it was decided that Analysts need more transparent and open access to Military, Law Enforcement and Intelligence intelligence so that they had all of the dots to connect.
"The notion that the Marines posted at Quantico's brig are anything but professional is absurd. Not only are they responsible and accountable for the detainee's security, they are also responsible and accountable for the detainee's safety. ANYONE attempting to harm a detainee in their charge would find themselves in a very difficult situation." Quantico Information I assume that that would include Manning harming Manning as well as anyone else. That letter to the editor goes into considerable detail about what Manning is and isn't allowed.
Why would people think that, if he confesses, he'll go to The United States Disciplinary Barracks, Leavenworth, and would be unlikely to see much improvement.

"A maximum custody detainee also receives daily television, hygiene call, reading and outside physical activity without restraint.

I've got Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Libertarians, Socialists, Greens and Communists on my ballots in Michigan.

90% of the thermometers in the United States have Climate Reference Network Rating of class 3 or higher resulting in expected errors => than 1C, 61% of the USHCN stations are class 5 with expected errors => 5C! The real tragedy is the US is considered the gold standard for climatological data!
True Hudson bay isn't frozen over, but there is ice flow downstream on lake Huron, and it's a bit early for that.

Seems the general consensus is the interventions that we engage on are evil and the ones we don't are needed

Well you can go to Wikileaks and make a donation to his defense fund that he will not get.
