...were the e-mails leaked? On Nov. 17, administrators of the website RealClimate, a blog about climate science written by top researchers, discovered that unknown hackers were attempting to upload onto the blog more than 1,000 e-mails apparently sent by and to scientists at University of East Anglia's CRU. The CRU is one of the most important climate-research centers in the world, and one of a handful of scientific agencies that keep the global temperature records used in most major climate models.

...flamboyantly gay kid and his devoted, conflicted dad. A third forced us to revisit the judgment we'd reached about the show's most gleefully conniving character, cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester, who has all the charm and subtlety of a python.

...Adding onto their concern is the fact that Thailand is today more deeply divided politically and socially than at any time since its communist insurgency ended in the early 1980s. In the past three years, the country has been rocked by demonstrations, a military coup, an airport takeover and riots. Since the early 1970s, King Bhumibol, a constitutional monarch, has served as a unifying figure and stabilizing force in Thai society, intervening on occasion to stop bloodshed between the military and democracy demonstrators and defusing political tensions.(See pictures of the 2008 protests in Bangkok...
