From the Great Barrier Reef to the Gulf of California, Marine Reserves Work
From Treehugger:

Around the world, marine environments are threatened by overfishing, warming waters, ocean acidification, and coastal development. The diminished biomass and diversity that results leaves ecosystems vulnerable to disease and natural disasters and jeopardizes the economies of the communities that rely on marine resources.
While in many places the situation is getting worse, encouraging new research supports the power and benefit of conservation measures.

The little-told story of how 10,000 people died during Prohibition when the US Gov't POISONED alcohol
It was Christmas Eve 1926, the streets aglitter with snow and lights, when the man afraid of Santa Claus stumbled into the emergency room at New York City's Bellevue Hospital. He was flushed, gasping with fear: Santa Claus, he kept telling the nurses, was just behind him, wielding a baseball bat.
Before hospital staff realized how sick he was—the alcohol-induced hallucination was just a symptom—the man died. So did another holiday partygoer. And another. As dusk fell on Christmas, the hospital staff tallied up more than 60 people made desperately ill by alcohol and eight dead from it. Within the next two days, yet another 23 people died in the city from celebrating the season.
Just remember the repugicans were in charge then, too.

Ric Flair's Wife Charged with Beating Him Up
Always knew the 'nature boy' was a wimp ...The wife of former professional wrestling champion Ric Flair was arrested overnight in an apparent domestic assault case, police say.
Jacqueline Beems, 41, was charged with misdemeanor assault, according to Charlotte-Mecklenburg police.
Beems and Flair were married about three months ago.
WCNC-TV, the Observer's news partner, says police received a domestic violence call about 11:40 p.m. Sunday at the Flairs' house near Colony and Rea roads. No additional information is available.
Flair and Beems met in 2004 in Chicago and dated until they married Nov. 11. Each was married previously.
Flair, whose given name is Richard Morgan Fliehr, has been involved in other police incidents. In September 2008, he received cuts and bruises and his 23-year-old daughter was arrested in connection with a dispute that also involved a 22-year-old man at a Raleigh apartment complex.
And in November 2005, Flair was charged in connection with an incident on Interstate 485 in south Charlotte. In that case, he was accused of grabbing another motorist by the neck.

The President's new health care proposal to include power to block excessive rate increases
Done right, that would be great.
You can expect the repugicans, and the blue dog defenders of the insurance industry (you know who they are) to come out howling and screaming like stuck pigs.
President Obama will propose on Monday giving the federal government new power to block excessive rate increases by health insurance companies, as he rolls out comprehensive legislation to revamp the nation’s health care system, White House officials said Sunday.
Smart more - a very smart move.
It capitalizes on something in the news, something outrageous, something egregious and something that every American can appreciate.
(OK, so the troglodyte faithful can't appreciate anything they're not implicitly told to do so ... we hold out hope for a miraculous epiphany on their part and a rejection of their overlords by them - yes, we know it's futile, but we can still hope, can't we?)
We should see more of this from the White House, now that it has been determined (finally) that there is no 'bi-partisanship' to be had with the repugicans and that paying attention what the American people are saying - the real Americans, not traitors like Faux, Dimbulb and their ilk - is the way to get things done.

Once the experts get done looking at the details of the proposal tomorrow, they'll be able to confirm that it has teeth.
And that it will take a big bite out of the ass(es) of the grossly bloated insurance industry.

Island's Endangered Trees Seem From Another World
From Treehugger:
In the Indian Ocean, about 150 miles off the Horn of Africa, lies an archipelago of which the island of Socotra is a part. Unlike most island landforms, Socotra was not formed by volcanic activity, but was once attached to the African mainland. Indeed, for millennia the island's plant-life has been isolated, forced to adapt to the heat and drought conditions afforded by its increasingly remote local. The result of this evolution has led to a multitude of plant species found nowhere else on Earth--which, in turn, makes Socotra seem as if from another planet.

Fewer hurricanes, but much stronger due to climate change
The bad news in this report outweighs the good, according to researchers.
It's disconcerting to see that this group sees a doubling in the number of category 4 & 5 hurricanes by the end of the century.
It's disconcerting to see that this group sees a doubling in the number of category 4 & 5 hurricanes by the end of the century.
The study offers projections for tropical cyclones worldwide by the end of this century, and some experts said the bad news outweighs the good. Overall strength of storms as measured in wind speed would rise by 2 to 11 percent, but there would be between 6 and 34 percent fewer storms in number. Essentially, there would be fewer weak and moderate storms and more of the big damaging ones, which also are projected to be stronger due to warming.
An 11 percent increase in wind speed translates to roughly a 60 percent increase in damage, said study co-author Kerry Emanuel, a professor of meteorology at MIT.
The storms also would carry more rain, another indicator of damage, said lead author Tom Knutson, a research meteorologist at NOAA.
Knutson said the new study, which looks at worldwide projections, doesn't make clear whether global warming will lead to more or less hurricane damage on balance. But he pointed to a study he co-authored last month that looked at just the Atlantic hurricane basin and predicted that global warming would trigger a 28 percent increase in damage near the U.S. despite fewer storms.
