Fossil hunters say they have found the world’s oldest known tree, a palm-like giant that lived some 380 million years ago.The tree, called a Wattieza, would have lived millions of years before the dinosaurs and Australia’s Wollemi pine.The discovery resolves a riddle that has dogged palaeobotanists for 137 years and sheds light on how forests slowly yet powerfully sculpted Earth’s landscape, the team reports today in the journal Nature.Scientists believe these early forests absorbed carbon dioxide, cooling the Earth’s surface.Wattieza was like a modern tree fern, the researchers say.It had a skinny palm-like trunk with a spreading tuft of fronds at its head. This arrangement cleverly conserves resources to help Read the rest of this entry »

In Johnson’s first season the Lakers won 60 games, and they lost only 4 of 16 postseason contests en route to the 1980 NBA Championship. In a moment that would link the two superstars forever, Johnson jumped center for the injured Abdul-Jabbar in Game 6 of the NBA Finals against the Philadelphia 76ers. Abdul-Jabbar had severely sprained his ankle in Game 5 after scoring 40 points to help the Lakers take the series lead. The 33-year-old center couldn’t play in Game 6, so the 20-year-old rookie took Jabbar’s position and went on to tally 42 points, 15 rebounds, and 7 assists, leading the Lakers to a 123-107 victory and the championship. For the season, Abdul-Jabbar 24.8 ppg, 10.8 rpg further cemented his place in Read the rest of this entry »

During the summers of 1963 and 1964, Donald R. Currey, a graduate student in geography at the University of North Carolina, investigated east central Nevada’s Snake Range, on the flank of Wheeler Peak. He was one of many people seeking to develop chronologies of climatic change during the “Little Ice Age,” which at the time was defined in very general terms as a 400-year period when global temperatures dropped slightly, reaching a minimum in the early 1600s. He was looking for old bristlecones close to or on a glacial moraine which might register climatic conditions, and he found them. Bristlecone pines are the oldest living trees on Earth. And Currey has become famous for cutting down the oldest Read the rest of this entry »

Mao Tse Tung

In our great motherland, a new era is emerging in which the workers, peasants and soldiers are grasping Marxism-Leninism, Mao Tse-tung’s thought. Once Mao Tse-tung’s thought is grasped by the broad masses, it becomes an inexhaustible source of strength and a spiritual atom bomb of infinite power. The large-scale publication of Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-tung is a vital measure for enabling the broad masses to grasp Mao Tse-tung’s thought and for promoting the revolutionization of our people’s thinking. It is our hope that all comrades will learn earnestly and diligently, bring about a new nation-wide high tide in the creative study and application of Chairman Mao’s works and, under the great red banner of Mao Tse-tung’s thought, strive Read the rest of this entry »

Welcome to the administration and a President that openly snickers at anyone that has opposing views. The people attending the tea partys are labeled as nothing more than racist extremists that follow one particular news channel like sheep. We are astro-turf. We are racists. We are potential terrorists. We did not approve of George Bush spending billions and certainly do not approve of Obama spending trillions upon zillions. I can almost bet that where it leads you will follow anywhere that it tells you to. President Bush had a different attitude than this Obama guy when it came to critisism. He who holds his nose in the air at every photo op. At least President Bush, while blamed for Everything during his administration had the Read the rest of this entry »
