    It happened to me. Depo is nothing to my super sperm.
  3. WASHINGTON (AFP) - The polar ice cap is melting at an alarming rate due to global warming (news - web sites), according to NASA (news - web sites) scientists, with satellite images showing the ice cap has been shrinking by 10 percent per decade over the past quarter century. "It is happening now. We cannot afford to wait a long period of time for technological solutions," said David Rind of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York. "Change is in the air -- literally," he told a press conference here Thursday. By means of a special satellite launched last year to measure the thickness of the polar ice cap, NASA has confirmed that part of the Arctic Ocean that remains frozen all year round shrank at a rate of 10 percent per decade since 1980, NASA researcher Josefino Comiso said. "The extent of Arctic sea ice that remains frozen all year reached record lows in 2002 and 2003," he added. The polar ice cap expands in winter and contracts in spring and summer. The part of the ice cap that never melts, even in the warmest summers, is called the "perennial sea ice." The oceans and land masses surrounding the Arctic Ocean have warmed one degree Celsius (two degrees Fahrenheit) during the past decade, scientists said. Researchers at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration are worried because global warming speeds up as the ice cap melts, forming a vicious cycle. "Snow and sea-ice are highly reflective because they are white," Comiso said. "Most of the sun's energy is simply reflected back to space. With retraction of the ice cover, that means that less of surface is covered by this highly reflective snow and sea ice, and so more energy has been absorbed and the climate warms." The warming trend has brought spectacular consequences. US and Canadian scientists reported in September that the largest ice shelf in the Arctic off Canada's coast has broken up due to climate change and could endanger shipping and drilling platforms in the Beaufort Sea. The Ward Hunt Ice Shelf had been in place on the north coast of Ellesmere Island in Canada's Nunavut territory for at least 3,000 years. "Small changes in ice could mean big impacts on the water cycle and ultimately the global climate," warned NASA. The changes could alter ocean currents, the distribution of fish populations and precipitation averages over a wide area. "One activity in the north is hunting of marine animals using sea-ice as a platform. When sea-ice retreats, it affects the communities up there," said University of Washington oceanographer Michael Seteele. "The Arctic is changing rapidly. We should be concerned in the sense we need to simply recognize the change is here, is occurring and we may have to adapt to it," University of Colorado researcher Mark Serreze told reporters. "Why the increase in global temperature?" he asked. "Part of this is probably simply due to natural variability in the climate system," he added. "But the general consensus of the climate community is that part these changes are due to human impact."

    KKK doesn't have to worry about Ramen noodles.... it's that unplanned pregnacy that he needs to look out for.

  19. Courtney Love says she tried to make her recent drugs overdose "fun" for her 11-year-old daughter. The Hole singer was arrested earlier this month after becoming violent outside a house in Los Angeles. Hours after she was released by police, she fell ill from an accidental overdose of the narcotic OxyContin. Love, 39, said her daughter Frances Bean made her green tea as they waited at their Beverly Hills home for an ambulance to arrive. "That's the only time my daughter has ever, ever, ever pitched in on one of my little crises," Love said. "I made it fun. I said it was going to be gross and I was going to have to make myself throw up but it was going to be OK," she told People magazine's November 3 edition. Days later Frances was put in the care of Cobain's mother Wendy O'Connor and a bitter custody battle has since erupted. Love said: "I'm not on some downward spiral. I'm not on narcotics. I'm fine. I just want my daughter back." In another interview, Love revealed the battle for Frances was becoming increasingly hostile. Love has enjoyed a good relationship with O'Connor since Cobain shot himself in 1994 but it soured after her arrest.
  20. I would like to throw in to say that they aren't exactly "cut" but sped up during non-talking points to cut off a few seconds here and there.

    I never said I wanted him back. But I wouldn't be suprised for some odd reason his game came back to him.

    Most surprisingly good teams EVAH!

    If you listen to Parcells talk about this team you wouldn't think that since he knows the combined record of the teams they have beaten is 10-27 I believe.
