As a self-proclaimed geek, I’m not at all ashamed to say that I’ve been looking forward to today for a very long time. Why, you ask? It’s because today, May 4, 2012, is the release date of the long-awaited “Avengers” movie! That’s right, folks: today, I’m talking about a superhero movie, but not just ANY [...]
Super Tuesday: Ten States conducting their primaries on the SAME DAY to determine who should receive the Republican Nomination for President. It sounds like a real turning point in the whole election process, but what were the results and what do they mean? Once again, let’s run the numbers on the day, and on the [...]
Now that the Florida Primaries has taken place, we’re starting to get a real picture of where Republicans stand on their selection of a candidate.

Carbon Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide, Methane: all of these (and many others) are gases, often invisible, tasteless and odorless, that exist in our atmosphere. They are all around us.
