Last week the 112th Congress was sworn in.  I am pleased that I will be chairing the Monetary Policy Subcommittee of the Financial Services Committee, which has oversight of the Federal Reserve.  Obviously, this position will facilitate my efforts to ensure the Fed provides the American people with more information about what they have been…
Polyphenols are chemical compounds that are found in most of the plant-based foods that we commonly eat. As I discuss in detail in my new book, A Cancer Prevention Guide for the Human Race, some polyphenolic compounds, such as green tea flavonoids, soy-based isoflavones, quercetin, curcumin, and resveratrol, among other polyphenols, may possess important cancer…
JOB AND WORKPLACE STRESS The global economy remains in the doldrums, unemployment remains at historically high levels around much of the world, and many people are feeling stressed in both their professional and personal lives. In today’s highly competitive job market, many employees are feeling increasingly vulnerable. There is also the perception among many workers…
Lest we forget, the modern world was created and is maintained by science and technology; so much so and so successfully that many people have often been able to take it for granted. A few hundred years ago, you would have been thinking about what it takes to keep your wagon rolling, if you had…
When I was young, before everything was made from synthetics, we heard stories; stories about undomesticated tires living in the woods near the highway. We had seen them ourselves resting in muddy sties and dangling like monkeys in trees. According to legend, rubber is alive. As old cars roll down the road they deposit microscopic…
I’ve, step-by-step, been explaining the history and character of the high level logic problem and the solution being developed in the HLL Open-Source Project. More than once, I’ve mentioned the enormous advantages of modern computer languages over what was available twenty-five years ago when the first few of my brain-cells became stimulated by the question.…
Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Prepare yourself for a surprise ending. Do that now to avoid confusion later. Around 1990, I met with an industrial engineering professor who had been working for years with artificial intelligence technology. We had a long chat about the possibility of completely automated factories. This was still a decade before frequent…
Link to Chapter 1 I understood the differences between what application developers wanted to do and what the “artificial intelligence†technology of the late 1980s supported. They were not the sort of differences that one might use to contract to update a software application. What had been, in effect, a broad survey of application needs…
Is it still called “disruptive climate changeâ€Â? I’m no longer trying to keep up with changing preferences in terminology. Cow dung by any other name still stinks. Let’s encapsulate the new, nEW, NEW!!! global warming “science†argument and see why realists are losing. If you’ve been reading lately, you’ll know that all the little global…
If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em, the old saying goes. But warmers are adding a new twist. Join ‘em in order to beat ‘em. I’ve seen the story too many times now to think it’s a fluke of bad writing, which often happens when non-scientist like most “environmental journalists†write about science. It’s clearly…
Introduction An application programmer spends six months perfecting a set of components commonly needed in the large company that employs him. Some of the components were particularly tricky and key pieces required very high quality, reliable and complex exception handling. It has all been tuned to run quickly and efficiently. Thorough testing has demonstrated his…
Founder and Editor-in-Chief Mike LaSalle announced the retirement of MensNewsDaily.com today. After nearly 9 years of continuous operation, the world’s premier men’s news and commentary site will end its operations “over the next month.†The introduction of MND came at a pivotal time in American history, in the aftermath of legislative thrusts against fathers and…
Many people have come to understand that the climate scam involves collusion between corrupt politicians and dishonest scientists. The problem however, is much broader even than Al Gore. Science is critical to our modern existence. Large amounts of public money are spent on a wide range of scientific activities each year; a practice that has…
The unmerciful and unyielding science god of the atheists had spoken: sacrifices must be made.
Everything in wealth management begins with savings. All wealth comes from producing more than you consume. Unfortunately, most Americans are better at consuming than producing. Have you ever met people who always have enough money to do what they want? Their peace of mind and confidence is no accident. Nor is it luck. It comes…
Lie to me. I promise, I’ll believe. -Cheryl Crow Every man knows that when answering the question posed in the title that he does so at his own risk. It’s a typical non question, designed more for adulation on demand than an honest answer. And you have seen it before, or one of a thousand…
(Authors note: For those interested, Chuck Ross did an excellent piece of writing on this, in The Sexual Peak Myth, He approaches the subject with a good bit more scientific diligence than I am willing to do here. I have already accepted that the subject is mythical and am much more interested in posing some…
The following is an email I received from one of my readers: Dear Dr Tara, First off, I want to thank you and inform you that your website has really opened my eyes and helped me in my healing process. These may be questions to use in a blog post: Starting in 2008, I began…
Al Gore’s bogus green enterprises have pulled in some major public funding based on fraudulent claims; leading to the suggestion that he may eventually stand trial. There’s something more. In his obsessive lectures, it seems he’ll not be content until he’s destroyed the economy and forced his political enemies, those who he credits for bringing…
As reported in April, the Obama administration was again using public money to create yet another grass roots people’s expression of public support. This time, it was the EPA, still wobbling from criticism of its illegal creation of cap-n-trade law by classifying life-giving CO2 as a pollutant. The EPA created a “contest†with a $2500…
