✽ "The sheriff's office has housed inmates in canvas tents during Phoenix's triple-digit summer heat since August 1993...." and has been proud of it! Although there is no evidence that heat incarceration actually serves as a determent to future crime. It's just punitive and showboating.

This is a no win operation. ~ ABC15

✽ Excessive heat warning... severe thunderstorm warning... flash flood warning... flash flood watch... flood advisory... special weather statement... The NOAA people covering Arizona have been busy tonight.
✽ What would you do today if you learned that Facebook was going to be unplugged tomorrow? (Sounds like the wrap-up of a sermon or two I've heard.) The reality is that Facebook will at some point cease to exist. ~ Fast company
✽ The Rupee now has an official symbol. ~ WSJ
✽ Entomologists at the University of Arizona have succeeded in genetically altering mosquitoes that are completely immune to the Malaria carrying parasite, Plasmodium. ~ KOLD
✽ "The CNMI government has joined nine U.S. states in filing a legal brief supporting Arizona's controversial immigration law." Well, yeah... They're going to support anything which makes immigration a local issue. The territory was doing such a poor job of managing immigration issues that the US government stepped in and forcibly took over immigration operations in the Northern Marianas Islands. ~ Saipan Tribune
