Unfitted Up ?
This article starts off with some serious points about science and law.
It will become apparent soon enough why I have posted this under 'humor'.
Please bear with me.
Unfitted up?
Being 'fitted up' means being 'framed' - being on the receiving end of criminal charges founded on false evidence.
It occurs to me that if a person is acquitted through the framing of a defence based on false evidence, or the bad 'framing' by the judge of good evidence then the expression 'unfitted up' might be apt.
Means, motive, opportunity + ?

Is Eyjafjallajökull Playing Possum?Since the April and early May grounding of aircraft in much of Europe, the Eyjafjallajökull eruption has been producing - relatively - much less plume and appears to be dying down. It is natural to ask: is Eyjafjallajökull playing possum, or does the volcano still pose a risk to European airspace?

NASA Goes To The ArcticNASA is sending a team of scientists to study the Arctic at close quarters. I guess it's pretty hard to sample phytoplankton with a satellite.
NASA Icebreaker Voyage To Probe Climate Change Impact On Arctic
WASHINGTON -- NASA's first dedicated oceanographic field campaign goes to sea June 15 to take an up-close look at how changing conditions in the Arctic are affecting the ocean's chemistry and ecosystems that play a critical role in global climate change.
Murphy's Proviso To The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics
Notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary in the 2nd law;
The amount of energy needed to put right any accidental application of energy will always be significantly greater than the amount of energy used accidentally.
This simple truth popped into my mind today as I was writing an article.
It took a single inattentive click to accidentally delete almost all of the article and about three exhausting hours to remember what the heck I was waffling on about and to re-write the whole *$%* thing.
Murphy's Proviso demonstrates that the nearest anyone can ever get to perpetual motion is to become an obsessive-compulsive delete-key hitter.

This is an update to my article
Arctic Ice June 2010, part of my ongoing series of articles about the Arctic.
The NSIDC ice extent graph shows a fairly constant and greater then average rate of ice loss over the last four weeks.
