Michigan police are warning motorists to remain alert after more than a dozen shootings in two days that officials say are targeting drivers.

Two top U.S. hurricane forecasters, revered like rock stars in Deep South hurricane country, are quitting the practice because it doesn’t work. William Gray and Phil Klotzbach say a look back shows their past 20 years of forecasts had no value. The two scientists from Colorado State University will still discuss different probabilities as hurricane seasons approach — a much more cautious approach. But the shift signals how far humans are, even with supercomputers, from truly knowing what our weather will do next. Gray, recently joined by Klotzbach, has been known for decades for an annual forecast of how many...

The scale of Hurricane Irene, which could cause more extensive damage along the Eastern Seaboard than any storm in decades, is reviving an old question: are hurricanes getting worse because of human-induced climate change? ...But many of them do believe that hurricanes will get more intense as the planet warms, and they see large hurricanes like Irene as a harbinger. While the number of the most intense storms has clearly been rising since the 1970s, researchers have come to differing conclusions about whether that increase can be attributed to human activities. “On a longer time scale, I think — but...

Renewed Push to Give Obama an Internet "Kill Switch" A controversial bill handing President Obama power over privately owned computer systems during a "national cyberemergency," and prohibiting any review by the court system, will return this year. Internet companies should not be alarmed by the legislation, first introduced last summer by Sens. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.) and Susan Collins (R-Maine), a Senate aide said last week. Lieberman, an independent who caucuses with Democrats, is chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. "We're not trying to mandate any requirements for the entire Internet, the entire Internet backbone," said Brandon...

If U.S. officials had followed up on a 1994 response plan for a major Gulf oil spill, it is possible that the spill could have been kept under control and far from land. The problem: The federal government did not have a single fire boom on hand. U.S. Coast Guard, Petty Officer 1st Class Justin Sawyer)This April 28, 2010 image made from video released by the Deepwater Horizon Response Unified Command, shows an in situ burn in the Gulf of Mexico, in response to the oil spill after the explosion on the Deepwater Horizon. The "In-Situ Burn" plan produced by...

Dr. Randeep Mann, the Pope County physician who was charged with federal firearms violations last year, has also been indicted by a Little Rock grand jury in connection with the car bombing of a West Memphis physician 11 months ago. From March 11, 2009: Mann was arrested on the federal charges after workers for the city of London stumbled upon a partially buried canister that contained 98 live grenades in a wooded area about 300 yards from Mann's home. The grenades can only legally be possessed by the military. Inside Mann's home, officers armed with a search warrant found a...

I’ll be the first to admit that anti-trust law is not my strong suit. The myriad implications of cable giant Comcast’s proposed acquisition of NBC are complexities beyond the grasp of most mortals. Legions of attorneys will put legions of children through college with the fees that this transaction will generate. This is the kind of stimulus that will inject much-needed capital into the private country club sector of the economy. I’ll be the first to admit that anti-trust law is not my strong suit.

PALM BEACH POST HAS A ONLINE QUESTION...Did Rush Limbaugh get off too easily? CURRENTLY YES 114, NO 72. LETS FREEP IT!

Ed Morrisey Jr. has his opinion about rumors President Bush received preferential treatment when he was allowed into the Texas Air National Guard in the late 1960s. The Blount Countian also has firsthand knowledge. The 75-year-old Jackson Hills resident is a retired colonel with Texas Air National Guard. He swore Lt. George W. Bush into the service in May 1968. On Thursday, Morrisey said the argument that Bush got off easy by being in the National Guard doesn't take into consideration the context of the 1960s. ``Bush and the others were flying several flights day or night over the Gulf...

I EMAILED THIS TO CBS WHEN THEY FAILED TO COVER PRESIDENT BUSHES SPEECH. WHAT ARE YOU THINKING SENDING DAN TO BAGDAD TO INTERVIEW HUSSEIN, WHO THEN EDITS THE TAPE, AND YOU REFUSE TO LET THE WHITE HOUSE COMMENT ON THE INTERVIEW AS YOU PLAY IT.

WHERE IS YOUR BRAIN. NO WONDER FOX JUST STOMPED YOU IN THE 18-49 GROUP SWEEPS. NO WONDER YOUR NEWS RATINGS...

The amount of chemical agent in these bombs would be in the order of about 1,000 tonnes. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, we must assume these quantities are now unaccounted for. Iraq has declared that it produced about 8,500 litres of (anthrax), which it states it unilaterally destroyed in the summer of 1991. Iraq has provided little evidence for this production and no convincing evidence for its destruction.

Speaking from her Miami Lakes campaign headquarters, Reno conceded the nomination Tuesday, saying she told McBride ``he was going to be a great governor.''

New York – A bold plan for the U.S. to attack al Qaeda was delayed by a Bush administration "policy review process" and was approved just a week before September 11, a TIME special report reveals. The plan, developed in the last days of the Clinton administration, was passed along to the Bush administration in January 2001 by Clinton National Security Adviser Sandy Berger and Richard Clarke, a career bureaucrat who had served in the first Bush administration and risen during the Clinton years to become the White House’s point man on terrorism. In the words of a senior Bush...

Drudge tonite has link to London Telegraph article re smallpox. The article quotes that 140 US CDC MD's and nurses got vaccinated over the weekend to be first responder. Does the CDC have some inside information thats not available to joe public? They also quote 2 Russian's that were high up in the bio-warfare section prior to 1990 and they both recommend that we vaccinate all Americans and Russians due to the risk. These are the boys that genetically altered the virus, so they might know what they are talking about. Their fear is that the scientists in Russia are ...
