Dramatic rise in flu deaths reported by California health officials
"So far we have a much more severe season," said state epidemiologist Dr. Gil Chavez in a conference call with reporters Friday. He said that flu activity in California remained "widespread." In part, the gap between this year's deaths and the number of deaths at this time last year is because this year's season struck early, Chavez said.

Cabinet Communique
If Iran persists in saying this it means that the permanent agreement, which is the goal of any diplomatic process with Iran, cannot succeed. In effect, Iran is insisting on maintaining its ability to attain [enough] fissionable material for a bomb without any time constraints following the breakthrough. This means that many of the things which we have been saying will come true – are indeed coming true.

The Alaskan Winter That Never Was?
I had heard it was warm in Alaska, but holy moly, I didn’t know it was THIS warm. Above is an anomaly map showing the Drunken Arctic Air in central and eastern Canada and the US in contrast with the very (relatively) warm air over western Canada and Alaska. Remember, these are anomalies, not absolute temperatures. But still, it is warm enough in at least parts of Alaska that lakes that are normally well frozen by now are not frozen at all and may not even freeze this winter.
