It's a moment many believed would never happen: President Obama and

[Review] The broad footprint of climate change from genes to biomes to people
Most ecological processes now show responses to anthropogenic climate
change. In terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems, species are
changing genetically, physiologically, morphologically, and

Trapping light with noble metal nanostructures overcomes the
diffraction limit and can confine light to volumes typically on the

The hissing sound you hear in the background when you turn up the

to the thermal motion of electrons in the music-player circuitry. Just
like molecules in a hot gas, electrons in the circuitry are constantly
jiggling about in a random fashion, and this motion this gives rise to
an unwanted noise signal.

No wonder! Janet Yellen's repeated assertion that there is full
employment is believed implicitly by the mavens of the stock markets.
However, smarter people know that (1) 23% of working-age Americans have
given up looking for a job, because there are virtually none to be had,
whereas (2) Yellen treats those 23% as though dead. However, the not so
bright mavens of industry and the stock market read her claim of full
employment as a signal that there are millions of Americans out there
who can and will buy their products. Wrong! Because of their stupidity
the mavens of the stock market push their stocks ever higher. In the

Hillary Clinton has described Russian President Vladimir Putin as “the

their best tanks to the border between Lithuania and Russia to augment
the armies of other NATO countries now abutting Russia, since the US had
long ago reneged on its promise NOT to move NATO forces to the
boundary. Given that Hitler’s Germany attacked Russia (not the other way
around) and that Russian casualties in World War II were the highest of
any other country (over 20 million!!!), doesn’t it seem that Hillary
and the US “mainstream media” are inviting WW III …presumably on the
false supposition that Russia is weak? When I was in grade school the
“Cold War” was on, and the media constantly told us to crawl under of
desks if a Russian attack was imminent. However, that was back when
nuclear weapons were in their infancy, so the thought of monster weapons
that could kill us all was not yet possible. So why are Hillary, her
