ken...The country needs to be talking about all the commie/socialist czars and buddies hussein obama surrounds himself with...you know like the van jones type of thingies, people who really want to destroy the United States of America...these are hussein obama's partners.

Natural tilts in earth's axis cause ice ages, says Harvard scientist - and their cycles could help predict the next one By Rob Waugh Last updated at 7:15 PM on 2nd February 2012 Meltwater from a Norwegian glacier: A Harvard geophysicist says that the cycle of ice ages and deglaciation is caused by slight tilts in Earth's axis The idea that slight shifts in Earth's axis might have been enough to trigger the ice ages is a century old. But a Harvard earth sciences Professor Peter Huybers has finally proved it, using computer models to test competing ideas - and finding that earth's tilting axis is the only one that works. The finding could have profound implications for our understanding of our planet's climate - and could, its author says, be crucial to 'predicting long-term changes in future climate.' Two 'cycles' in the way Earth's axis spins have an effect on the cycle - one lasting 10,000 years and one lasting roughly 40,000 years. When they align correctly, ice melts. At the other extreme, glaciers advance. The idea that these could dictate the cycles of glaciation in Earth's climate was first proposed by Serbian geophysicist Milutin Milankovitch in the first half of the twentieth century. 'These periods of deglaciation saw massive climate changes,' Huybers said. 'Sea level increased by 130 meters, temperatures rose by about 5 degrees C, and atmospheric CO2 went from 180 to 280 parts per million.' We ought to understand what caused these massive changes in past climate if we are to predict long-term changes in future climate with any confidence.' 'And at least now we know with greater than 99 percent confidence that shifts in earth's axis are among the factors that contribute to deglaciation.' When both cycles align 'correctly', the glaciers retreat rapidly. 'When you get that alignment, the radiation that the Northern Hemisphere receives during summer increases by tens of watts per meter squared, and if large Northern ice sheets are present, they tend to disintegrate.' Peter Huybers, Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences, is the author of a recent paper that found corrlations between aspects of Earth's orbit and periods of deglaciation 'These statistical findings agree exactly with what Milutin Milankovitch, a Serbian geophysicist, proposed in the first half of the 20th century.' Huybers emphasises that these cycles are only one factor among many. 'It could also be that orbital forcing causes a rise is atmospheric CO2, and that it’s the increased CO2 that drives the loss of ice sheets,' he said. 'In all likelihood, both CO2 and increased summer radiation contribute to deglaciation. They’re both expected to push the climate system toward less ice.' http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2095571/Natural-tilts-earths-axis-alter-temperature-cause-ice-ages-says-Harvard-scientist.html#ixzz1lXNGwNpg%3C/u%3E%3C/a%3E

JFK's teen mistress, a WH intern, breaks silence nypost.com Four days into her internship, she was invited by an aide to go for a midday swim in the White House pool, where the handsome, 45-year-old president swam daily to ease chronic back pain. JFK slid into the pool and floated up to her. “It’s Mimi, isn’t it?” he asked. “Yes, sir,” she said. “And you’re in the press office this summer, right?” “Yes, sir, I am,” she replied. Lightning had struck. Later that day, Mimi was invited by Dave Powers, the president’s “first friend” and later the longtime curator of the Kennedy Library in Boston, to an after-work party. When she arrived at the White House residence, Powers and two other young female staffers were waiting. Powers poured, and frequently refilled, her glass with daiquiris until the commander-in-chief arrived. The president invited her for a personal tour. She got up, expecting the rest of the group to follow. They didn’t. He took her to “Mrs. Kennedy’s room.” “I noticed he was moving closer and closer. I could feel his breath on my neck. He put his hand on my shoulder,” she recounts. The next thing she knew, he was standing above her, looking directly into her eyes and guiding her to the edge of the bed. “Slowly, he unbuttoned the top of my shirtdress and touched my breasts. “Then he reached up between my legs and started to pull off my underwear. “I finished unbuttoning my shirtdress and let it fall off my shoulders.” Kennedy pulled down his pants but, with his shirt still on, hovered above her on the bed. He smelled of his cologne, 4711. He paused when he noticed her resisting. “Haven’t you done this before?” he asked. “No,” she said. “Are you OK?” he asked. Read more: nypost.com
