Muskegon prison picketers protest end of 24-hour perimeter patrols, other cuts
Muskegon prison picketers protest end of 24-hour perimeter patrols, other cuts
Michigan Department of Corrections officials say the end of 24-hour perimeter patrols will save more than $13 million per year, partly by eliminating jobs.
They say the constant patrols are no longer necessary because of technological improvements in recent years with lighting, cameras, motion sensors and electrified fences.

Is Conservatism Our Default Ideology?
Is Conservatism Our Default Ideology? - Miller-McCune
Newly published research proposes a somewhat different, and quite provocative, answer.
................If we don’t have the time or energy to give a matter sufficient thought, we tend to accept the conservative argument.
“When effortful, deliberate responding is disrupted or disengaged, thought processes become quick and efficient,” the researchers write in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin.
“These conditions promote conservative ideology.”
The definitive proof, settled science!
Plus they "describe four studies that provide evidence backing up their thesis".

Why New CDC Numbers on Autism May Not Add Up
Why New CDC Numbers on Autism May Not Add Up - The Daily Beast
What the CDC study doesn’t necessarily show, says Milham, is an increase in actual cases of autism. Rather, it’s possible that “it’s more about our ability to detect new cases.”

Parents of murdered British students criticise Barack Obama
Parents of murdered British students criticise Barack Obama - Telegraph
His failure to respond to three letters sent to the White House was because there was no "political value" and not worthy of a few minutes of his time.
Obama is acting as if he was a racist hypocrite.
Is he?

Limbaugh’s advertising losses may have been less than media accounts suggested.
While more than 100 advertisers told Premiere that they didn’t want to be associated with “controversial” radio programs of any kind in the wake of the flap, some of these companies weren’t regular Limbaugh sponsors in the first place.
Carusone said most of the advertiser exodus over the past month appeared to be among companies whose ads aired only in regional or local markets, he said.
“Fewer than five” nationwide sponsors of the program actually pulled out, he said…

Global Warming Models Are Wrong Again
William Happer: Global Warming Models Are Wrong Again - WSJ.com
What is happening to global temperatures in reality?
The answer is: almost nothing for more than 10 years.
Monthly values of the global temperature anomaly of the lower atmosphere, compiled at the University of Alabama from NASA satellite data, can be found at the website http://www.drroyspencer.com/latest-global-temperatures/.
The latest (February 2012) monthly global temperature anomaly for the lower atmosphere was minus 0.12 degrees Celsius, slightly less than the average since the satellite record of temperatures began in 1979.
The lack of any statistically significant warming for over a decade has made it more difficult for the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and its supporters to demonize the atmospheric gas CO2 which is released when fossil fuels are burned.
