Suspicious Minds in Alaska

by , under NEWS
Suspicious Minds in Alaska

The suspension of Department of the Interior scientist Charles Monnett due to an investigation for “integrity issues” has raised the suspicion that the whole affair was related to his 2006 polar bear study suggesting that bears had drowned while swimming long distances. That paper brought attention to global warming and the possibility that polar bears might start drowning in higher numbers if sea ice melting increased. That suspicion was later fueled by rumors that the whole affair might be linked to oil exploration and other interests in the Arctic. As recently as yesterday there were reports that the suspension may actually be related to procurement issues with a current study on polar bears in

Dear World Please Wake Up

Numerous sources have stated that over 12 million people are being impacted by the worst drought & famine in the region of the Horn of Africa in 60 years. Included in that figure are 600,000 Somali children that are on the brink of starving to death.
12 million people.
How do you wrap your head around such a number?
12,000,000.
You begin with one.
The World Food Programme, for example, has shared that they can provide a nutritious meal for one person for .17…
as in seventeen cents.
These statistics are overwhelming, but while we may not be able to remedy, fix, or respond to the entire situation, we must respond. I’m often reminded of Mother Teresa’s wisdom and quote:
Over the years, I’ve grown very uncomfortable (and at times, angry) at what I consider to be borderline exploitation of images (and people) used by nonprofit organizations to solicit donations. It’s not that I don’t understand the realities of suffering and extreme poverty, because I do

The Congressional Evolution on DOMA

The Congressional Evolution on DOMA

There is an intriguing story behind the recent Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) headlines, one that mirrors trends in public opinion surveys, but involves a group you might not expect — members of Congress who voted for the law in 1996, but now favor its repeal.
Back in July, the Senate Judiciary Committee held a landmark hearing on DOMA, exploring how it impacts married gay and lesbian couples and their families across the country. The hearing got me thinking about the now infamous ’96 congressional vote in favor of DOMA. Defenders of the law, exemplified by Judiciary Committee Ranking Member

ReThink Review 30 Minutes or Less  On Casual Diversity

In 30 Minutes or Less, two amateur criminals lock a bomb onto a pizza delivery man that will explode in ten hours unless he and his friend can rob a bank and give the bomb makers the money. Starring Jesse Eisenberg as Nick the pizza guy and Aziz Ansari as his teacher friend, Chet, 30 Minutes or Less is a comedy, despite the fact that its premise seems to have been directly lifted from a real-life incident that occurred in Erie, Pennsylvania in 2003, where a pizza delivery guy named Brian Wells was forced to rob a bank with a bomb locked around his neck, which eventually exploded and killed him.
The film’s director, Ruben Fleischer, has said that 30 Minutes or Less is not really related in any way to the Wells incident, which is hard to believe since even the motive of the fictional bomb makers (played by Danny McBride and Nick Swardson, often in ape masks) is almost identical to the real-life bombers’.
Opinions will differ on whether it’s inappropriate or insensitive to base a comedy on an incident where someone actually died, though I personally don’t have a problem with it, especially since the original incident isn’t mocked or even mentioned in the

5 Photos That Must Never Be Repeated He Took the Only Pictures in Hiroshima on Aug 6 1945

Yoshito Matsushige, a photographer for the Chugoku Shimbun, took the only pictures on August 6, 1945, that have surfaced since. It was these five photos LIFE magazine published on September 29, 1952, hailing them as the “First Pictures – Atom Blasts Through Eyes of Victims,” breaking the long media blackout on graphic images from Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Even more graphic film footage, remained hidden.
On August 6, 1945, Matsushige wandered around Hiroshima for ten hours, carrying one of the few cameras that survived the atomic bombing and two rolls of film with twenty-four possible exposures. This was no ordinary photo

Showdown in Ames The Republican Presidential Debate

So much for Minnesota Nice. The headline to emerge from the Republicans’ first Iowa debate is the bitter scrap between the two Minnesotans standing side by side onstage, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann and ex-Governor Tim Pawlenty. Chris Wallace of Fox News shamelessly goaded these rivals into a fight, and fight they did. Taking the bait may not have been smart politics for either candidate, but it did make for riveting television.
Two months ago, in her debate debut in New Hampshire, Bachmann turned in an impressive performance that propelled her candidacy

Debate Losers How GOP Frontrunners and Obama Keep Getting It Wrong

In a week that began as arguably one of the worst of the Obama presidency, Thursday’s significantly-improved GOP debate in Iowa forces politicos of all allegiances to ask what the general election in 2012 is really going to look like.
In Ames, Iowa, we saw a FOX news team grilling the Republican primary contenders with a zeal last seen unleashed at Bret Baier’s one-on-one with President Obama during the pique of White House sanctions of the network. The at-times caustic tone was an unequivocal sign that internally conservatives are taking seriously the task of green-lighting a unifying, winning candidate from their party’s ideological and leadership disarray. Several avenues forward were presented: the pro-business bros of Romney, Huntsman and Cain; the anti-government stalwart Paul; the culture warriors Bachmann and Santorum; the haunting presence of Palin and Perry’s star power; and (apparently) FOX ombudsman

Breaking in a new Cap the new NFL system

With a brand new NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) in place over the next ten years — and no way for either side to get out of it (which got us into the mess we were in the past five months) — it will take some time for everyone to learn some of its most important features. I have received scores of questions about what the new CBA does and doesn’t contain. With last week’s frenzy as an initial guide to how things may transpire, let’s look at some of its nuances.
Still soft after all these years
The Salary Cap (“Cap”) has been a hallmark of the NFL system since 1993 and still is. And there was never a doubt that the Cap would remain as a feature of the new

The month of Ramadan, in which millions of Muslims are fasting throughout the world, reminds us of our need to reach out to the divine with compassion and love in our hearts. We want to love God and be loved by Him. But by creating a relationship in love, we are also able to love others whatever their religion or culture.

Tahrir A Square of Innovation

It is mid-July and day 12 of renewed protests in Cairo. As we make our way to the epicenter of the sprawling mini-city that has become Tahrir, the collective feeling of anticipation is palpable. To find our friend Aly, we navigate past vendors of Revolution memorabilia and through clouds of smoke billowing up from barbequed corn in a square that has housed this popular sit-in for nearly two weeks. Through a corridor of colorful tents bearing signs calling for an end to military trials for civilians, then left past a makeshift barbershop offering the usual list of services, we eventually find our friend sitting on the ground with fellow activists discussing the news of the

Whistle While You Work And Live Longer

Many adults do two things for eight hours each day: Sleeping (if you’re lucky to get that much) and working (if you’re lucky to do that little).
Research has shown over and over that if you don’t get enough restful sleep, your health can suffer in many ways. A new study finds that if the time you spend at work is isolating and stressful, it can also impact your health … and could lead you to clock out of your life early, too.

A New Sleep Disorder Bedtime TailBiting Behavior

I’d like to share a brief bedtime story — actually, it’s a story about a character in a bedtime story. It’s about one of Dr. Seuss’s enigmatic little creatures, the Chippendale Mupp, who is featured in his classic “Sleep Book.” The Mupp is a sharp-toothed furry fellow with an impossibly long tail. As a part of his bedtime routine, this weird little beast bites down hard on the end of its own tail.
Seuss informs us that:
What a revealing parable about the alarm clock as a self-inflicted pain in the rear! Even more so, this is a story that calls our attention to the subtle intentions we bring to bed with us.
A National Sleep Foundation poll found that slightly more than half of all adults felt they “needed” an alarm clock to get up in the
