How Old Is the Earth?

In the very beginning of earth’s history, this planet was a giant, red hot, roiling, boiling sea of molten rock – a magma ocean. The heat had been generated by the repeated high speed collisions of much smaller bodies of space rocks that continually clumped together as they collided to form this planet. As the collisions tapered off the earth began to cool, forming a thin crust on its surface. As the cooling continued, water vapor began to escape and condense in the earth’s early atmosphere. Clouds formed and storms raged, raining more and more water down on the primitive earth, cooling the surface further until it was flooded with water, forming the seas.

The History of Earth Sciences Society (HESS) was founded in 1982 to help satisfy four needs:

First, the gap between the humanities and the sciences is bridged by some historians interested in the history of earth science, and by some geoscientists interested in the history of their fields. A society to which both historians and earth scientists belong allows for mutually beneficial exchanges of ideas.

CEI Launches National Ad Campaign on the Impact of Al Gore’s Global Warming Policies

The Competitive Enterprise Institute has launched a national advertising campaign, focusing on the threat to affordable energy posed by Al Gore’s global warming agenda. The ads contrast Gore’s energy-consuming lifestyle with the life-and-death need for energy in developing countries.

CEI’s new campaign comes in the face of Gore’s March 1st announcement of a major new set of ads from his Alliance for Climate Protection to promote the global warming issue. CEI’s response includes both a broadcast television ad and related online video.

“Global warming activists warn us about the alleged threats from global warming, but are usually silent about the much more immediate threats from global warming policies,” said CEI General Counsel Sam Kazman, also the ad co-creator. “Restricting access to affordable energy is a sure recipe for increasing poverty, disease and human misery around the world.”

The broadcast ad premiered this morning at a press conference at the National Press Club, and will run in markets around the country over the next two weeks, including Boston, Phoenix, Orlando and Pittsburgh. The ad will also be running in the Washington, D.C. market on cable news programs on CNN, CNBC and Fox News Channel.

CEI previously stirred international controversy in 2006 with a pair of CEI ads on global warming alarmism, which carried the tagline “CO2: They Call It Pollution; We Call It Life.

The Danger of Google History in a Time of War

Recently, I was called a liar on national radio.

This is never a pleasant experience, but it’s even worse when the evidence used against you is the World Wide Web’s most popular search engine, Google.

I was being interviewed by conservative radio talk-show host Dennis Prager when he claimed that Palestinians have never staged a large protest against terrorism. I responded that in fact I had witnessed several demonstrations, that a particularly large one in 1996 received widespread media coverage.

“Since I can’t find it on Google, you’re obviously lying,” Mr. Prager informed me—and his listeners—as we returned from a commercial.

Biggest Purge In Google’s History As 300 Jobs Cut

Internet behemoth Google Inc. is doing some downsizing after merging with a newly acquired company, announcing 300 layoffs at its just purchased online advertising firm DoubleClick.

There may be additional layoffs at the overseas offices for DoubleClick as well, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

DoubleClick, which is based in New York and San Francisco, was bought last month for more than $3.2 billion.

Google Milestones

Google is a play on the word googol, which was coined by Milton Sirotta, nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner, and was popularized in the book, Mathematics and the Imagination by Kasner and James Newman. It refers to the number represented by the numeral 1 followed by 100 zeros. Google’s use of the term reflects the company’s mission to organize the immense, seemingly infinite amount of information available on the web.

Berpacaran yang Sehat dan Bebas Aids

Adalah sesuatu yang mustahil, melarang remaja untuk melakukan interaksi dengan lawan jenisnya. Proses interaksi yang lebih lanjut yang diwujudkan dengan berpacaran merupakan hal yang wajar dan baik bagi pengembangan aspek kematangan emosional remaja itu sendiri. Namun, harus ada rambu-rambu yang dipasang agar tidak terjadi berpacaran yang berlebihan, apalagi sampai melakukan hubungan seksual dan terjadi kehamilan yang tidak diinginkan dan pada akhirnya mengambil jalan pintas dengan menggugurkan kandungan.

Ada Apa dengan Valentine’s Day?

Pada bulan Februari, kita selalu menyaksikan media massa, mal-mal, pusat-pusat hiburan bersibuk-ria berlomba menarik perhatian para remaja dengan menggelar pesta perayaan yang tak jarang berlangsung hingga larut malam bahkan hingga dini hari. Semua pesta tersebut bermuara pada satu hal yaitu Valentine’s Day. Biasanya mereka saling mengucapkan “selamat hari Valentine”, berkirim kartu dan bunga, saling bertukar pasangan, saling curhat, menyatakan sayang atau cinta karena anggapan saat itu adalah “hari kasih sayang”. Benarkah demikian?
