"Professor John Marburger, who advises President Bush, said it was more than 90% certain that greenhouse gas emissions from mankind are to blame.

The Earth may become "unliveable" without cuts in CO2 output, he said"

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/6994760.stm

Here is Marburger's rather impressive background:

http://www.climatescience.gov/Library/bios/marburger.htm

Basically he's endorsing the IPCC's findings. Why would President Bush's science advisor do such a thing if there were any significant doubt in the scientific community that the IPCC report is correct and humans are the primary cause of the current global warming?

Can any global warming doubters explain this?

ROBELINE, La. - This village's only convenience store decided to do something nice for its police officers: give them a free fountain drink or coffee at closing time. But somewhere along the way, investigators say, it got out of control. Now, all three of the village's officers are accused of stealing snacks.

"Over a period of time, it evolved into regular drinks and more," Natchitoches Parish Sheriff's investigator Travis Trammell said. "There's no telling how it got to this point, but the store started experiencing losses and they watch their videotapes and see all of this going on."

Surveillance tapes showed each officer going into the Shop-A-Lott at Lott Oil around closing time and filling plastic bags with dozens of bottled soft drinks, Trammell said. The officers also are reportedly seen eating an assortment of other snacks without paying.

Police Chief Gordon O'Con confirmed that the officers remain on active duty, but said he was advised not to commment about their arrests. There was no answer at the police department Friday when The Associated Press made repeated calls seeking comment from the officers.

I am going to change jobs from working for a company to being essentially self employed. I will work as a contract employee, so I will be responsible for withholding taxes, paying them, etc...Would it be in my best interest to hire a cpa or try to figure it out on my own? Also, if I "hired" my wife to handle my money, would I be able to deduct from my taxes? I am going to make close to double the income I presently make - the tax consequence will be much higher? Any help would be welcome!

I live in germany and I would really like to find a breeder here that I can go see the puppies myself. All of the breeders I have found are in different countries. Please help. I am so desperate. And I can't adopt cause the adoption places don't adopt to americans. And they don't have pet shops out here because they are inhumane. Please please help me :-(

She knows basic obedience as well as how to play dead, jump rope, skateboard, roll over, shake, wave, play patty-cake, beg, stand up on her hind legs, speak, back up, open and close doors and retrieve things. She also knows how to jump through hoops and pick up her toys. I don't know what else to teach her and the school talent show is coming up!

The year (2004) in question, not only was he in the Minors, he was out due to injury and phys. rehab. He was being prescribed medication under a doctors care. Steroids are commonly prescribed for treatment (my son was prescribed them a couple of weeks ago). 2004 was three years ago, at that time MLB had no ruling on steroid (or supplement) use.
Look at Rick. Is his head the size of a baby carriage (i.e.: Bonds)? His body is toned, not huge.
