While many in America mourn or rejoice (whichever you prefer) over the loss of Michelle Bachmann in the coming election, those in the White House have been preoccupied with the national security issue presented by Iran. Iran’s relationship with the United States has been a fairly short but turbulent one. Recently, tensions between the two nations have risen, as the US and the European Union have and plan to put sanctions on Iran’s central bank and oil industry. Reactions to the plans have differed, with some claiming them as unenforceable threats and others calling them economically crippling to Iran.
As many well know, Iran has long been attempting to gain nuclear power. Due to Iran’s hostile past towards the West over the power, ...by Published on 01-12-2012 03:26 AM

It fascinates me to see how people with such similar personalities and lifestyles can love such different types of music. With the amount of genres, bands, songs, and instruments in the world, it is impossible to attain a grasp on every aspect of music. However, by performing a survey on a few different demographics, I was able to look for and notice certain patterns in the musical tastes of teenagers.
My survey began with strangers on a college preparation forum. Here, I was able to gather information from public and private schoolers that I had no acquaintanceship with. Most of them play or have played an inordinate amount of instruments throughout elementary, middle, and high school, often because of school requirements. Some ...by Published on 01-12-2012 03:26 AM
“New Year's Resolutions”
If the phrase doesn’t strike fear, guilt, dread, horror, or that “Wait, it’s New Years?!” feeling inside you, you’re obviously a better man (or woman) than I.
Try as I might, I can never keep a resolution (no matter how simple), nor think of any that would revolutionize my life with some powerful new meaning. I'm thinking of delaying the "resolution" process until I can get my head on straight and consider something that will be somewhat effective, rather than simply ostentatious.
First, I did a little digging into the history of New Year's Day.
January 1st has been acknowledged as the beginning of the New Year for various intermittent periods throughout ...by Published on 01-12-2012 03:26 AM
Yes, there is a particle called the “God particle” – or, at least, physicists think there is. This particle, called the “Higgs boson,” is still just part of a theory – scientists haven’t yet proved its actual existence. But this isn’t for lack of trying: just this week, announcements were made that the mass of this particle has been tentatively determined – an important step in proving its existence.
“Tentatively determined” may not sound like much, but it’s a fairly large accomplishment in the world of particle physics, a world for which God seems to have reserved the weirdest bits of science. Many of the terms and labels in this field of science – “charm” and “strange” quarks, Nambu-Goldstone bosons, gluons, muon neutrinos ...
