[Full Comment] Raphael Alexander: Omar Khadr and the Lockerbie effect - Full Comment: The Harper government declines to pressure the U.S. authorities for due judicial process in the case of Omar Khadr, a Canadian accused of terrorist acts against the U.S. Yet it actively intercedes with the Chinese government to secure due process for Huseyin Celil, a Canadian convicted of terrorist acts against China. Canada’s message to the world is clear - a terrorist act against the U.S. warrants overriding the rights of the accused, but one against China does not.

[The Stump] Don't trust charlatans: Earth is heating up - OregonLive.com: Organizations like AGU are a-political, and are composed of practicing earth scientists, not just people with mostly only bachelors degrees in any form of science such as on the list Fulks cited. Most AGU members are at last graduate students if not practicing PhDs, and conduct research in the earth sciences, and publish current papers on their work in peer-reviewed journals, and have no political axe to grind.

[Fabius Maximus] Another general advocating war with Iran « Fabius Maximus: It’s true that the active duty ground forces don’t seem to be itching for another scrap (understandably) right now, but the air force is a different story, especially these days with the COIN boys stealing all their thunder and their procurement budget for hot-rod fighters trimmed down in favor of cheap RC toys. I do think good old-fashioned 90’s-style air war like Yugoslavia (the only action Wald saw, AFAIK) would perk them up and help justify the expensive air superiority stuff that every red-blooded fighter jock adores.

[GetRealList] Natty Dread - GetRealList: For example, Atlas Energy reports its drilling costs in the Marcellus Shale””the most profitable of the shale plays, in New York and Pennsylvania””as running $1.49 per Mcf, so drilling continues there, albeit at a slower pace. The Haynesville formation is still profitable as well, but drilling in the Barnett and Fayetteville formations has all but stopped, as the cost of production there is too high.

[TreeHugger] Pot Calls Kettle Yellow : TreeHugger: Shafer's editorial paints him as a tool. One who apparently has a grudge against bloggers and resorts sophomoric name calling (we're called greenies?) and hypocritical sensationalism to make himself feel like one of the elite and enlightened, "brothers and sisters in the capitalist press." I am also a dedicated, daily Treehugger reader, I follow a dozen green energy and green living websites every week, and definitely consider peak oil and global warming to be the top global concerns of our lifetime.

[Econbrowser] Econbrowser: Kling's question on oil speculation: (I don't recall the Economist focusing on that when they published their "Drowning in Oil" issue.) But arguments from inventory analysis, such as those employed now by Paul Krugman, did not explain the move down in 98-99 or the tripling of prices to over $30 over the next 18 months into 00-01. The fact that $10 was unsustainably low was not reflected in declining inventories.

[MoJo Blogs and Articles] Is Waxman-Markey Worth It? | Mother Jones: He castigates the RealClimate website -- which, unlike his phony-baloney, ExxonMobil-funded "sources", is written and maintained by real, practicing climate scientists who conduct and publish major, original research in the field -- in his comment above because he was thoroughly humiliated for his blatant dishonesty, and his rubbish was demolished when he tried to peddle it there.

[The Business Insider: Solar] Sorry, The EPA Isn't Censoring Staffers Who Think Global Warming ...: The emails between the EPA bosses and Carlin were then sent to the CEI, who saw this as proof positive that the administration was censoring science. In reality, it looks like the EPA told Carlin to work on other things because his work on this issue was lousy.

[Irvine Housing Blog] Irvine Housing Blog - Irvine Real Estate - Astoria at Central Park ...: I feel like I am the target demographic for these high rise condos in the Irvine area, but they just don’t make sense to me. With a $1000 HOA fee, these properties will never be a better deal than the rentals in the area.

[Guy Fawkes' blog] Dannatt v Jones - Guy Fawkes' blog: But our MPs are very poorly paid 1/3 of Irelands rate,1/4 of france Italy and Germanys,I personally believe that the poor wages contributes to the shower of shite we are attracting.A better way would be to keep the minimum at £75k but anyone who left a better paid job in the PRIVATE sector would be compensated to ansure they were no worse off,absolutely no one should stand for election until they were 35.Anyone coming from the public sector with a job for life should be pay graded as their old workmates and return there to work until 65 on loss of seat.

[The Oil Drum - Discussions about Energy and Our Future] The Oil Drum | Drumbeat: July 29, 2009: Regardless of whether Shell's EROI math is correct, or your citation of Shell is correct, my point is that Oil Shale looks worse as you scale. The amount of electrical power that would be required to sustainably cook the deposits in-situ would be so enormous, that it surely would make more sense to deliver that power to an electrified grid for public transport.After all, the entire oil shale quest would only be about the search for liquids.

[politicalbetting.com] politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The NHS: Who really, really ...: Municipal and cottage hospitals, charity hospitals carried on as before for some time under new management - it wasn’t until the pressures of cost management, increasing demand for new medical technology drove the NHS towards rationalisation that the local hospital was closed, A&E restricted, queues and waiting lists became ever more present. The centralisation of NHS away from local health authorities and towards the Department of Health similarly took decades and we now have the centre trying to devolve it away recognising the monolithic structure that evolved doesn’t necessarily deliver the benefits.

[Freakonomics] Berlin Bans Brakeless Bikes - Freakonomics Blog - NYTimes.com: fixie riders,* and partly because, hey, redundancy ain’t such a bad thing. However, if the primary brake system (cranks, chain, hub and lockring) were such a bad method of controlling the bike’s motion, you’d expect that I’d have to rely on the brake lever frequently during the course of the day.

[Paul Krugman] Hanging tough with Keynes - Paul Krugman Blog - NYTimes.com: Hey Paul, just finished listening to your LSE lectures - great stuff! I think your point, that most people (and certainly most legislators) don’t understand much about macro, is well taken, but what can we do to reverse this trend, other than forcing everyone in the country to listen to your podcasts, and you getting to have dinner with the president?

[The Housing Bubble Blog] The Housing Bubble Blog » Bits Bucket For August 11, 2009: Although Greenspan was once recognized as a proponent of laissez-faire capitalism, some Objectivists find his support for a gold standard somewhat incongruous or dubious,[citation needed] given the Federal Reserve’s role in America’s fiat money system and endogenous inflation. He has come under criticism from Harry Binswanger,[24] who believes his actions while at work for the Federal Reserve and his publicly expressed opinions on other issues show abandonment of Objectivist and free market principles.
