Honestly the U S government seems to want everyone to thing that all you need is a little plutonium to build a Fat Man bomb. It also takes some pretty sophisticated electronics, some U238 for the tempers, and a beryllium polonium-210 initiator. Being successful in putting all this together gets a 21 kt bomb that weighs 10,200 lb and is 5 feet in diameter, far from practical. A lot more money and engineering expertise can get you something like the B-61 , which at 13 inch diameter and a weight of around 700 lbs might actually be deliverable. Interestingly while everyone whines and cries about plutonium in regards to nuclear weapons proliferation, it's the polonium that's much more difficult to acquire and thus the limiting factor if you want to go the easy route of using an urchin initiator
Which spent the last eight years insisting they weren't POWs. If they're not POWs, then why would they be tried in a military tribunal?
To be entitled to prisoner-of-war status, captured service members must be lawful combatants entitled to combatant's privilege—which gives them immunity from punishment for crimes constituting lawful acts of war, e.g., killing enemy troops. To qualify under the Third Geneva Convention, a combatant must have conducted military operations according to the laws and customs of war, be part of a chain of command, wear a "fixed distinctive marking, visible from a distance" and bear arms openly. Thus, uniforms and/or badges are important in determining prisoner-of-war status; and francs-tireurs, terrorists, saboteurs, mercenaries and spies do not qualify. In practice, these criteria are not always interpreted strictly. Guerrillas, for example, do not necessarily wear an issued uniform nor carry arms openly, yet captured combatants of this type have sometimes been granted POW status. The criteria are generally applicable to international armed conflicts. In civil wars, insurgents are often treated as traitors or criminals by government forces, and are sometimes executed. However, in the American Civil War, both sides treated captured troops as POWs, presumably out of reciprocity, though the Union regarded Confederacy personnel as separatist rebels. However, guerrillas and other irregular combatants generally cannot expect to simultaneously benefit from both civilian and military status. Prisoner of war
Also if they were POWs, we would of course be entitled to hold them until the governments involved sued for peace at the conclusion of the hostilities; which would be equivalent to life sentences.
When we first put the detectors in here, the Canadian couldn't get a trash truck across the boarder for two weeks because of the radiation picked up. Finally they had to steam clean the trash trailers to get them through.
I figured it was because God didn't open up the universe to look inside so the quantum wave function hasn't collapsed and we cats inside are both alive and dead.
CO2 concentration measured in PPM is very consistent throughout the atmosphere.
Some would disagree, and unlike the GW Alarmists these people used real hard science to do it and described their methodology well enough that anyone with the resources can repeat the observations and either confirm or refute their results.
The observed CO2 concentration is generally high in low altitude and low in high altitude. High CO2 concentration relative to the average CO2 distribution is sometimes observed during the flights. Its difference is about 8 ppmv at most. Trajectory analysis suggests that the observed air with high CO2 concentration is often affected by continental outflow. The averaged CO2 vertical distribution shows seasonal difference. The CO2 concentration decreases with altitude in winter at all latitude, however the CO2 concentration observed over 2.0 km at north of 25 north latitude in spring is almost constant. These differences are considered to be principally induced by phase delay of atmospheric CO2 change from the boundary layer to upper troposphere. Spatial Distributions of Tropospheric Carbon Dioxide Over the Western North Pacific During Winter and Spring.
The angle of incidence at the poles is pretty low, and so is the effect on insolation is too. The potentially not-so-pemafrost might be more of a problem.
Why? Because the effect of CO2 in the atmosphere is already at saturation. Doesn't really matter how much you blacken the windows in a house - once they hit "black" you're not adding any more to the effect. Same with CO2 absorption and re-emission of specific infrared wavelengths - it's already at saturation, and adding any more CO2 will have no effect.
You are saying that because of bad analogies crafted by some AGW as a religion types, name the greenhouse analogy, to sway a bunch of brain-damaged morons. In reality the effect is more like an insulating blanket than a window, the more CO2 in the atmosphere, the thicker the blanket is as the CO2 is heavier than air and stays closer to the ground. As CO2 increases the saturation point increase in elevation, and the warmer the air temperatures at the ground will be on an average.
The Doctor doesn't really win here either, he/she is the one that has to hire an extra person to deal with these asinine third-party payers. They'll sent denials for any or no reason, about 10% of benefits claims get rejected in the hopes that somebody will just forget to resubmit the claim. Get to the end of a month or a quarter and you can really tell when they are over budget for claims payments for the accounting period because payments will come to a halt.
This. This is what is wrong with US health care. The only incentive doctors should have to declare people sick is that the people are sick. If your system is designed to encourage anything else then it's broken by definition.

I burned my hand quite severely and the doctor told me it would never heal if I kept smoking. In the hospital not having a smoke for 3 days wasn't so bad, upon leaving the wife handed me a cigarette and I smoked it out if mindless habit. I later quit using the trans-dermal patch and being off work for 6 weeks helped significantly too. After two years being smoke free, stress and have 5 adults in the house smoking and the ready availability did me in.
I don't think it will work like that, if you get the shot before going through a smoking cessation routine you'll still want the nicotine but be unable to get it to your brain, some will chain smoke entire packs to get some nicotine through. It'll work much better to prevent relapses after an initial cessation period. Nicotine withdraw symptoms can last for years.
What I wonder is how long the immune response lasts, it might be even more useful to be put on the childhood immunization schedules, perhaps with boasters in Middle and High School; teenage nicotine addicts aren't much different from adult crack addicts.
you seem to assume that the nerve endings that were removed during circumcision don't reconnect, I tent to assume circumcised males have more nerve ending per unit of area make the sensations more concentrated and maybe you don't know what you are missing.
it seems to me that it would likely require careful surgical grafting in order to supply the graft with blood vessels, so it's unlikely that we'd be able to just stuff it into the wound right away.
I lit my hand on fire a couple years ago, kind of like that taco bell commercial, and I was literally leaking blood after the burn was de-roofed. Blood vessels to the wound weren't an issue, healing enough to keep the blood and serous fluids from dripping out were; luckily the burns weren't circumferential and I didn't need skin grafts.
Aaaand, I see you're an Electric Universe person. Never mind, the above isn't meant for you. This discussion is effectively over.

Technically it's possible but they has to enter a Canadian into servitude voluntarily; but I'm not sure why anyone would want to. Canadians are good for drinking all of your beer and complaining about it tasting like piss-water. They are fun loving drunks but tend to be too noisy and obnoxious by our standards and they'll only let you watch Curling and Hockey on TV.
Death rates actually decreased during WW II in many countries involved. I specifically remember in Denmark the government ordered the slaughter of livestock so that their feed could be used to offset the anticipated famine, because of that deaths from all causes actually decreased even during the Blitz-Krieg.
