Twitter / billmckibben: In Nebraska’s hottest, driest …

Temperatures have been declining in Nebraska, and 2012 was cooler than 1936, 1934 and 1921. Strike one.

2012 saw half as many high temperature records as 1934, and placed fourth after 1936 and 1939. Strike two.

Precipitation has been increasing over time, but 2012 was the driest on record in Nebraska.  McKitten actually got one right!

Not difficult to see where Obama is taking this country. He is getting the Army conditioned to conduct military operations inside the US.

Streets around the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts were closed Tuesday night by Miami-Dade police.

Officers in the area about 10 p.m. said the closure was because of an “event,” and that the streets would reopen in about an hour. It is possible that the event is connected to military training exercises.

Miami-Dade police sent out a warning Monday that multiple police agencies would provide support for a joint military training exercise somewhere over Miami and elsewhere in the county. The exercise was to include the use of military helicopters.

SkyEye 13 HD was over the south side where at first look, it appears there’s a massive SWAT scene happening.

People have been calling police, as well as our newsroom, saying they’re hearing gunshots in the area of Scott and Airport. It turns out, the Army says, it’s a multi-agency training drill. They’re doing it at the old Carnegie High School.

Helicopters were also involved. The Army isn’t giving any details of what the training is about.

March 10, 2006: It’s official: Solar minimum has arrived. Sunspots have all but vanished. Solar flares are nonexistent. The sun is utterly quiet.

Like the quiet before a storm.

This week researchers announced that a storm is coming–the most intense solar maximum in fifty years. The prediction comes from a team led by Mausumi Dikpati of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). “The next sunspot cycle will be 30% to 50% stronger than the previous one,” she says. If correct, the years ahead could produce a burst of solar activity second only to the historic Solar Max of 1958.

Besieged by bears In villages across the Arctic, Inuit are reporting an invasion. Polar bears, once rare, are now strolling the streets, peeking in windows, killing dogs – even stalking kids. No place has been more menaced than Arviat.

“Why aren’t these scientists coming to Northern communities and talking to us about bear populations? We’ve never had a single visit from them in Arviat. They don’t seem to care what we think. I don’t understand it.”
