[ABCNEWS.GO] The suspect in a deadly shooting of a Kentucky State Police trooper died in custody this morning, police said.
The suspect, identified as Joseph Thomas Johnson-Shanks of Missouri, was caught in a secluded, wooded area around 7 a.m. CT, Kentucky State Trooper Jay Thomas said at a news conference today.
The suspect was armed with a weapon, Thomas said, and he was shot by a trooper when he refused to lower the weapon.
Johnson-Shanks was taken to a hospital where he died this morning, Thomas said.
Ponder first made contact with the suspect at a traffic stop Sunday night, police said, but the suspect fled, leading Ponder on a car chase.
After about 9 miles, the suspect stopped abruptly and Ponder's car hit the back of the suspect's car, police said. The suspect then fired at Ponder's car, hitting the trooper several times.
The suspect fled the scene on foot, police said.
Ponder was taken to Caldwell Medical Center in Princeton, Kentucky, where he died, police said. Ponder was a U.S. Navy veteran, Thomas said.
Other people were in the car at the time of the shooting, Thomas said, adding that it's unclear whether the others were related to the suspect. The other people were detained but it's unclear whether any of them were charged, Thomas said.

Why do you think that NOAA has been modifying their surface temperature data like crazy over the past year to show a big rise and make this the "Hottest Year on Record!"
Gotta keep the scam and the federal funds coming in.

"Professor Phil Jones, director of the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia, last week dismissed the significance of the plateau, saying that 15 or 16 years is too short a period from which to draw conclusions."
No Phil prefers long stretches where he can pick the beginning and end to assure he gets the results he wants.

Darth,
That is why you can't call it temperature data. Once you adjust it, it is no longer data but rather conclusions. Now look at how the data has been adjusted. There is a well know effect called the urban heat sink. Cities are hotter; all that concrete and asphalt absorbs more solar heat than the meadows. So what did the SOB's do? They used the contaminated urban station data to "correct" the pristine non-urban station data. Volia! Instant warming.
Full Definition of DATA
1
: factual information (as measurements or statistics) used as a basis for reasoning, discussion, or calculation
2
: information output by a sensing device or organ that includes both useful and irrelevant or redundant information and must be processed to be meaningful
3
: information in numerical form that can be digitally transmitted or processed
#7
Is that why Satellite data is better (and has shown no warming for 16 years?)
Yes. Satellite data is data. The SOB's haven't figured out a way to alter the satellite data the way they have the land and sea buoy/ship temerature data. I recommend Dr. Roy Spencer's web site if you are interested in the satellite data.

sorry i know it is an old story, but it is good to keep them in the memory
because it hasnt warmed since then, and the disaster stories about man-made global warming continue unabated
and swamp the google search results. so every time i see a global warming doom headline i try my best to find one of these difficult to find stories that reveal it is a load of crap - so the facts dont get forgotten...
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Man-made global warming is set to produce exceptionally high average temperatures this year and next, boosted by natural weather phenomena such as El Nino, Britain’s top climate and weather body said in a report on Monday.
“It looks very likely that globally 2014, 2015 and 2016 will all be amongst the very warmest years ever recorded,” Rowan Sutton of the National Centre for Atmospheric Science, which contributed to the report, told journalists.
They do keep trying.

Actually, I just got new woolies and have an affinity for fire places and cool weather.
I may want it to cool down some instead.

Alarmist, but IMO nothing really new as I've said before that any so-called "MINI ICE-AGE" is at best an INTERIM OR TEMPORARY COLD PERIOD/HIATUS [ the Great Asia-Pacific "Slushy"] IN THE LARGER PICTURE ON STEADILY INTENSIFYING SOLAR OR SUN-LED HEATING OF THE EARTH THRU 2050 IFF NOT THE ENTIRE 21ST CENTURY.
Again, the greatest single threat from our mighty OWG-NWO Govts-Perts consensus on GWCC + Related is that THERE IS NO CONSENSUS.

Don't spend any money on Developing any Third world countries, just send it to the UN for more wine and cheese. Why waste good money on developing countries and lets spend it instead on less plastic containers and no more Coal or Atomic Power plants. And get rid of all the cars and put plugs in the cows ass. Make Al Gore rich.
The UN will tell us what to do and we all can be more like Mozambique. Ask Nancy Pelosi and Hussein if you have any questions. Its all about Hope and Change.

According to Joe Bastardi at Weatherbell, El Ninos typically cause a short-lived rise in temps followed by a greater and much longer decrease. Expect a lot of ululating from the usual suspects over the rise followed by much hand-waving and denial.

Rain is another mechanism that the earth uses to shed surface heat. When water evaporates it grabs latent heat from its surroundings. The water vapor rises and condenses to form clouds and rain which releases that latent heat. But now that heat is above the bulk of the insulating atmosphere where it then radiates out into space.

Everyone in the University community has the right to study, teach, conduct research, and work free from acts and expressions of intolerance.

Personally, I find the whole thing... offensive.

All state funded universities/colleges should have been limited to A&Ms. Let private institutions pick up the rest. Get the Fed out of student loans. You want college money, get a GI Bill fund.
[SLTRIB] Mixing a brew of biblical prophecies, the Hebrew calendar, a volatile economy, world politics, a reported near-death experience and astronomical occurrences, hordes of Utahns have become convinced that calamitous events are imminent -- maybe by month's end -- and are taking every precaution.
They are called "preppers" and are buying up food-storage kits, flashlights, blankets and tents. Some are even bracing to leave their homes -- if need be.
At American Fork's Thrive Life, which sells mostly freeze-dried food, sales have shot up by "500 percent or more in the past couple of months," says customer- service representative Ricardo Aranda. "There is a sense of urgency, like something is up. A lot of people are mentioning things about September, like a financial collapse."

You folks missed it; doomsday was NOV 4th 2008.

Why relax? The concern was that it was a rehearsal "for a government takeover of Texas in advance of declaring martial law." Now that they are trained and ready I would be more concerned, not less.

I like it. Not Combat Ready, but what the hell?
Makes me have some hope for a more human world. THAT actually is who and what we are fighting FOR> for what we really love and would be willing to die for.
I can remember my own mother hitching a ride on a troop ship six days out when I was four and she was carrying my little brother. The war was almost over and she wasn't waiting for my Dad to come home...she was going to where he was and he had promised to be waiting when that ship came in fluff replacements. And holding her hand seeing the tears running down her face because she couldn't see him in the crowd of soldiers waiting to transit home....even though he was there. And my dad had brought a Lei made out of candy for me and a Lei of Orchids for my Mom. And I had never seen him before, but he was my Dad. And we had a bomb shelter in the back yard and i started first grade in a quonset hut in sight of the runway. And there were acres and acres of graves in the Punchbowl Crater before they were shipped back to the States. Too many dead to ship back all at once my Dad said.
I didn't know anything about God. But I worshipped my Father when I was small. He was a good man. And I remember my little brother nursing when I was "too big" for a high chair and resented a crib bed when we were in the Philippines when Truman ran against Dewey.
And I remember later going to school in Occupied Japan..
All those memories flooding back seeing these women in uniform...being mothers.

Yes, stand at ease Corporal Smith. Let us start at the beginning please. You were absent from duty yesterday afternoon and late for formation this morning because your what hurts....?
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
