The Global Warming Fraud: Physical Analysis Shows Carbon Dioxide Is A Coolant (!)
Northerntruthseeker at Northerntruthseeker - 16 minutes ago
Years ago, I fell for the same scam that most people still believe to be
true... That Carbon Dioxide is a "Greenhouse Gas" and the chief proponent
that has to be brought under control to save our planet from man made
"Global Warming". It is through the control of man made Carbon Dioxide
(CO2) emissions into our atmosphere, through the implementation of"Carbon
Taxes", that most nations believe they can do their part in ending the
threat of "Global Warming" and save the planet from ourselves. I want to

There is a "significant probability" of another sudden eruption at

Egypt's President Faces 'New Pharaoh' Jibe
Lynsey at The Coming Crisis - 26 minutes ago
Egypt's President Mohamed Morsi has assumed sweeping new powers, drawing
criticism that he is seeking to become a "new pharaoh".
The new powers are a blow to the pro-democracy movement that ousted Hosni
Mubarak and they raise questions about the gains made in last year's
uprising.
Opposition forces denounced the declaration as a "coup" and called for
nationwide protests on Friday.
"The president can issue any decision or measure to protect the
revolution," according to a decree read out on television by presidential
spokesman Yasser Ali.

Earlier today I was refereed to this piece of video by some Twitterers
I blogged about it, albeit with a link somehow screwed up by my smartphone,
but had no time to comment upon it.
Now I have watched the video a few more times I feel a little lost as to
what to say.
Is the BBC interviewer, Mishal Husain, really suggesting that the most
important issue is not the number of rockets being fired at towns in
Southern Israel but how many people these rockets have killed. The fact
that Israel has built bomb shelters, invested in alert systems and of

Is there a Funding Gap in Higher Education?
Phil at A Very Public Sociologist - 8 hours ago
Another November, another student anti-fees protest. Sadly, it attracted

LibDem-supported Tory fee regime is now an accomplished fact. It is, after

Mohamed Morsi bars court challenges and orders Hosni Mubarak retrial
Lynsey at The Coming Crisis - 8 hours ago
Egypt's president, Mohamed Morsi, has granted himself far-reaching powers
and immunity from legal oversight as he ordered the retrial of Hosni
Mubarak over the killing of protesters during the country's revolution.
In a surprise move, Morsi, the Muslim Brotherhood leader who was
instrumental in securing a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, issued a
series of measures preventing Egypt's courts from challenging any laws or
decrees passed since he assumed office in June.
The decrees prevent the courts from attempting to dissolve the upper house

David Cameron sparks fury in Brussels with raid on EU growth fund
Lynsey at The Coming Crisis - 8 hours ago
David Cameron is pressing for tens of billions of euros in cuts to the EU's
next seven-year budget as the price for Britain's agreement at the Brussels

Israel pulls back from Gaza
Lynsey at The Coming Crisis - 8 hours ago
Israel began withdrawing the army on Thursday that had been poised to
invade the Gaza Strip to go after Hamas, with both sides declaring they had
won their eight-day battle.
Dust-covered tanks and armored bulldozers were winched onto transporters
and driven out of the same groves of straggly eucalyptus where they camped
in January 2009 before going in.
That conflict cost more than 1,400 lives, all but 13 Palestinian, while
this time, some 160 Palestinians were killed in eight days of fighting,
against six Israelis.

Right to confront witnesses not a consideration in admission of hearsay statements under principled approach

David Cecil: Uganda Halts British Producer's Gay Trial
Lynsey at The Coming Crisis - 12 hours ago
A British theatre producer, facing two years in jail for staging a play
featuring a homosexual, has had his case postponed again by a Ugandan court.
The postponement comes at a time when the Ugandan parliament is about to
debate a bill allowing the death penalty for "aggravated homosexuality".
David Cecil, 34, was arrested in September after refusing to allow
government censors to review the play The River and the Mountain which was
performed in August.
He was charged with "disobeying lawful orders".

Cornhusk dolls and flawed development plans

Children of the cornhusk dolls on the march (Jody Paterson photo)
The cornhusk doll kids of La Pintada are part of life in Copan Ruinas.
La Pintada is about five kilometres away - an hour’s walk, one more poor
village among many. A few years ago, a development project introduced a
couple of microenterprises, women’s co-ops to produce “artesania” for the
tourist market.
One group of women make cornhusk dolls. They’re cute, brightly coloured and
obviously take some skill, but are a little boring.
And the marketing plan is deeply flawed. The children of La Pintada walk

Not that warm on this holiday so I don't have many Thanksgiving traditions.
Not even around the food. I have a few side dish favorites but don't really
like turkey. Well, except for the classic WKRP Thanksgiving episode. This
is the best capture I've ever seen. It includes the build up that explains

East London attack on teenager: Man Arrested
Lynsey at The Coming Crisis - 15 hours ago
A man has been arrested after a teenage girl was knocked unconscious and
left sprawled across the pavement in an apparently random attack near her
home.
Shocking CCTV footage showed a man jogging up behind the 16-year-old and
smacking her around the head.
The girl was left lying on the ground in Plaistow, east London, as her
attacker casually jogged off.
A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "A man, aged 34, was arrested yesterday
evening in connection with the assault of a 16-year-old female in High
Street, Plaistow.
"He remains in custody at an east London police station."

Cameron 'not happy' as EU budget negotiations begin
Lynsey at The Coming Crisis - 15 hours ago
The British prime minister is understood to be unhappy with the compromise
offered by European Council President Herman van Rompuy, because it would
involve cuts to Britain's 3.6bn euro annual rebate. Speaking to the House
of Commons on Wednesday, Mr Cameron said he would not accept any cuts to
Britain's rebate.
Herman van Rompuy is caught in a balancing act between several wealth EU
nations, who want a freeze or a reduction to the annual EU budget, and a
bloc of poorer nations who would like an increase.

A six-year-old Arkansas girl, whose father and stepmother were arrested
last year for chaining her to a dresser, was found dead early Tuesday
morning.
Authorities found the body of young Jersey Bridgeman in a vacant house
approximately 10 minutes after she was reported missing.
So far, investigators are ruling her death as a homicide but have yet to
say how exactly the girl died or release any names of suspects.

Huge Martian dust storm picks up steam - but are NASA's rovers safe in its path?

NASA is hoping that their red planet rovers won’t roll over in the face of
a massive dust storm.
The space agency is tracking a regional storm on Mars, but says it has so
far not affected the operations of Curiosity and Opportunity - its two
rovers on the surface.
The storm raging in the planet’s southern hemisphere was spotted earlier
this month by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter circling high above the
planet.

BRUSSELS, Nov 21 (Reuters) - European Union leaders will need to agree a

a deal at a summit starting on Thursday, with the drive for austerity
likely to trump all other concerns.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel played down the chances of an agreement
this week, even though senior EU officials warned that failure could lead
to a renewed crisis and derail efforts to shore up the euro zone.

NATO ambassadors met on Wednesday to consider the request, which followed
weeks of talks between Turkey and NATO allies about how to shore up
