In the 1990s, Bill Kirk was a meteorologist as wells as a captain in the United States Air Force attempting to predict dates for flight training six months in advance. Fed up with traditional weather models he developed his own algorithm; a combination of Gaussian mathematical theories, climate cycles, and statistical weather patterns spanning back 115 years. The result: a new way of forecasting that is accurate up to a year in advance. His year-ahead weekly precipitation forecast is 76 percent accurate while the Weather Channel's accuracy on 1-to-10-day forecasts come in at 71%.

Perfect Number for a Social Network

According to the Oxford anthropoligist Robin Dunbar, an individual cannot handle more than 150 friends. The human brain was not built to keep track of more people than that.

NBC Ratings Sliding

The audiences continue to shrink. Why do you suppose that is? Could it be the shows to do not portray the morals of the viewers? Could it be the scripts rely too much on foul or profane language to which the viewers choose not to expose their children or even themselves? Could it be high school humor was OK in high school but do you suppose the viewers have outgrown that stage of their lives? Look at NCIS no foul language; no immoral subjects: a bit over the top with the autopsies but the "private parts" are allowed to be private. When the product doesn't sell how about suggesting they CHANGE THE PRODUCT!!!!
 

Cain Is Right - Government Must Stay in its Place

The only part of one's religious belief one should bring to government are ethics, morals and honesty. I agree with Cain. I do not like abortion but it is not government's place to enforce the morals of a single group. The People have let government become too involved in our lives. Why should government decide who wants to commit one's life to whom regardless of gender? Why should government decide who may and who may not make or brew a product? As far as immigration is concerned my guess is the Native Americans wished they had protected their borders better than they did. Our ancestors barged in, murdered the local residents, confiscated their property and now want to keep people out.  And if you can believe it all while being a Christian nation.

Supporting the Violent Overthrow of Middle East Heads of State

When the United States supports the violent overthrow of heads of state in the Middle East we had better be ready for the inevitable response. If I was Obama I would be nervous. If I was the Secret Service I would be nervous. Remember what JFK said.

Economy More Important than Military

Hillary Clinton is right— "Today, our foreign and economic relations remain indivisible. Only now, our great challenge is not deterring any single military foe, but advancing our global leadership at a time when power is more often measured and exercised in economic terms."

The United States is the sole global military power, and yet our influence is waning; our economy is declining we see countries gaining influence less because of the size of their armies than because of the growth of their economies.

Everything comes down to the strength and vibrancy of the U.S. economy—the fate of American democracy and, yes, U.S. military punch itself.

As the sole global military power our military has been unable to defeat the military of smaller countries or of no countries at all. One can only wonder how our military would match up with the military of China or Iran. As dirty Harry said, "A man has got to know his limitations" and so do countries.

Maybe It Is Time for Another Revolution

Amanda Knox is an example of a justice system that is failing. Italy is no better than the United States. When the government can put you into jail for four years and not have the evidence to convict and sustained on appeal it is time for another Revolution. The mayor of New York was correct in his comments about the riots in the Middle East starting in the United States.

Hank Williams Jr - Hitler

I'm sure you have heard of Godwin's law.  "in any online discussion—regardless of topic or scope—someone inevitably criticizes some point made in the discussion by comparing it to beliefs held by Hitler and the Nazis." Apparently Godwin's law includes celebrities opening their mouth.
The media is at fault by asking celebrities to voice their opinions. The public does not care what celebrities think, they just want them to do their thing. The world would be a better place if celebrities at all other times kept their mouths shut.
