life isn't a fucking video game. :

totally agree on this. electricity, airplanes, telephone, internet, combustible engine, assembly line...all these are good ol' american inventions. and you know what? the next world-changing invention will come from us as well. our society values and encourages creativity, that's why we invent.

http://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/science/06/22/global.warming.ap/index.html Study: Earth hottest in 400 years Panel says humans responsible for much of the warming Thursday, June 22, 2006; Posted: 12:45 p.m. EDT (16:45 GMT) WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Earth is the hottest it has been in at least 400 years, probably even longer. The National Academy of Sciences, reaching that conclusion in a broad review of scientific work requested by Congress, reported Thursday that the "recent warmth is unprecedented for at least the last 400 years and potentially the last several millennia." A panel of top climate scientists told lawmakers that the Earth is running a fever and that "human activities are responsible for much of the recent warming." Their 155-page report said average global surface temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere rose about 1 degree during the 20th century. The report was requested in November by the chairman of the House Science Committee, Rep. Sherwood Boehlert, R-New York, to address naysayers who question whether global warming is a major threat. Last year, when the House Energy and Commerce Committee chairman, Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, launched an investigation of three climate scientists, Boehlert said Barton should try to learn from scientists, not intimidate them. The Bush administration also has maintained that the threat is not severe enough to warrant new pollution controls that the White House says would have cost 5 million Americans their jobs. Climate scientists Michael Mann, Raymond Bradley and Malcolm Hughes had concluded the Northern Hemisphere was the warmest it has been in 2,000 years. Their research was known as the "hockey-stick" graphic because it compared the sharp curve of the hockey blade to the recent uptick in temperatures and the stick's long shaft to centuries of previous climate stability. The National Academy scientists concluded that the Mann-Bradley-Hughes research from the late 1990s was "likely" to be true, said John "Mike" Wallace, an atmospheric sciences professor at the University of Washington and a panel member. The conclusions from the '90s research "are very close to being right" and are supported by even more recent data, Wallace said. The panel looked at how other scientists reconstructed the Earth's temperatures going back thousands of years, before there was data from modern scientific instruments. For all but the most recent 150 years, the academy scientists relied on "proxy" evidence from tree rings, corals, glaciers and ice cores, cave deposits, ocean and lake sediments, boreholes and other sources. They also examined indirect records such as paintings of glaciers in the Alps. Combining that information gave the panel "a high level of confidence that the last few decades of the 20th century were warmer than any comparable period in the last 400 years," the academy said. Overall, the panel agreed that the warming in the last few decades of the 20th century was unprecedented over the last 1,000 years, though relatively warm conditions persisted around the year 1000, followed by a "Little Ice Age" from about 1500 to 1850. The scientists said they had less confidence in the evidence of temperatures before 1600. But they considered it reliable enough to conclude there were sharp spikes in carbon dioxide and methane, the two major "greenhouse" gases blamed for trapping heat in the atmosphere, beginning in the 20th century, after remaining fairly level for 12,000 years. Between 1 A.D. and 1850, volcanic eruptions and solar fluctuations were the main causes of changes in greenhouse gas levels. But those temperature changes "were much less pronounced than the warming due to greenhouse gas" levels by pollution since the mid-19th century, it said.

dude, where the hell are you???

US:Ghana 1:1

umm....i'm just gonna hope for scenario #1 ;D http://sports.yahoo.com/sow/news?slug=ap-wcup-us-scenarios-box U.S. World Cup Advancement Scenarios June 21, 2006 The United States tied Italy 1-1 on Saturday night in its second World Cup match. Italy leads Group E with four points, while the Czech Republic and Ghana each have three. The United States is last in the group with one point. On Thursday all four teams will play their last match of the first round. The United States faces Ghana, while at the same time, Italy plays the Czechs. Only the top two teams in the group will advance to the second round. For the Americans to advance, they must defeat Ghana in their last game. In addition to beating Ghana, the U.S. team needs one of these scenarios to take place: 1. Italy defeats the Czech Republic. 2. Italy ties the Czech Republic 0-0 or 1-1 AND the United States beats Ghana by at least four goals. 3. Italy ties the Czech Republic 2-2 or with a higher score AND the United States beats Ghana by five or more goals. 4. Italy ties the Czech Republic 2-2 or with a higher score AND the United States beats Ghana by four goals AND the U.S. team scores at least three goals more than the Czechs do in their tie. 5. The Czech Republic beats Italy AND the total combined margin of victory for the Americans and Czechs is six or more. 6. The Czech Republic beats Italy AND the total combined margin of victory for the Americans and Czechs is five AND the U.S. team scores at least three goals more than the Italians do in their loss. 7. The Czech Republic beats Italy AND the total combined margin of victory for the Americans and Czechs is five AND the U.S. team scores exactly two more goals than the Italians do in their loss AND the Americans win a drawing of lots by FIFA.

Man Says He Was Hurt By Ball Kicked By Mavs Player Dirk Nowitzki Kicks Basketball In Fit Of Anger POSTED: 2:42 pm EDT June 20, 2006 UPDATED: 2:57 pm EDT June 20, 2006 MIAMI -- A retired Miami man said he's still hurting from an injury caused by a Dallas Mavericks player's temper tantrum. The Mavs' Dirk Nowitzki was fined $5,000 for kicking a ball into the stands after Game 5, when Dallas was defeated by one point in overtime play Sunday. Shortly after, Nowitzki was caught on tape in a hallway at American Airlines Arena taking out his anger on a stationary exercise bike. He was only fined for kicking the ball, not for beating up on the bike. Michael Alan, 63, said that the ball flew into the stands and hit him in the side of his face so hard it knocked him off his feet and back into his seat. The retired accountant said that he already has a number of health problems and didn't need the pain that has followed the incident. Local 10 found Alan at a doctor's office Tuesday where he was seeking care for a bruised lip and headaches. Alan said he won't pursue any other kind of action against Nowitzki unless the headaches are permanent. But he said he still wants an apology from the player and the team.
