"On July 9, 1971, the Post published a story headlined "U.S. Scientist Sees New Ice Age Coming." It told of a prediction by NASA and Columbia University scientist S.I. Rasool. The culprit: man's use of fossil fuels.

The Post reported that Rasool, writing in Science, argued that in "the next 50 years" fine dust that humans discharge into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuel will screen out so much of the sun's rays that the Earth's average temperature could fall by six degrees.

Sustained emissions over five to 10 years, Rasool claimed, "could be sufficient to trigger an ice age."

Aiding Rasool's research, the Post reported, was a "computer program developed by Dr. James Hansen," who was, according to his resume, a Columbia University research associate at the time."

Where Hansen's climate models wrong then, or are they wrong now? Was there more money with global warming?

What I'm wondering about is this: In a religion based on love, why is so much of the terminology violent or gruesome?

"Covered with the blood of Christ"
"Slain in the spirit"
"Baptism by fire"

Your thoughts?

My husband and I lost a baby girl last Aug at 21 weeks (Kimberly Ann) and when I asked my OB/GYN he said that no, unless something else was going on that I would not have to be on bed rest, but almost every woman I have spoken to has had to. My doctor told me to just take it easy. If I have to be on bed rest we are not going to try again because I don't think that it would be fair to our son...he is 3 and EXTREMELY active.

Hi, I would love it if anyone from/has gone to Cuba could post their personal reviews/experiences on their stay in Cuba. Or , if you haven't gone to Cuba, if there's a nice blog site you know could you please post it?

What's it like in Cuba..the culture and how things are there?
What are some great places to travel and see in Cuba, and what was your favorite place?

Please please answer this: )
Get 10 points for the most accurate helpful answer, if you've never been to Cuba that's ok, but if a friend has or if there's a good blogsite that shared their reviews, that would be great.

Thanks again :)

What's the real story behind these two events:

1) The Florida University student who was tazed after asking Sen. John Kerry an embarrassing question. I heard this student is known for being a smart alec and is a bit of a clown. From the video posted on the internet, I only see him asking the question about the Skull and Bones society, but don't see what happened before, nor why the security guards picked that moment to arrest him. Was he asked to finish the question before? Was he talking out of turn? What was the justification the guards used?

2) O.J. Simpson: were those possessions he tried to retake in Las Vegas really still his, or were they part of the items sold by court order to pay off his civil lawsuit?

I'm 38 and I'm always sad when I hear "what a wonderful day" by Armstrong. I think about the movie Good Morning Vietnam.
This song was played and in the background bombs going off, war is really sad.

What song gets you going? Good or Bad.
