U.S. teens in sprawling counties are twice as likely to drive more than 20 miles per day as teens in compact counties, increasing accident risk, a study said.

The Chinese are looking to weather control to ensure a rain free ceremony. With seven months until the 2008 Olympic Games get under way; the Beijing Meteorological Bureau had developed a method to minimize rain on the day.

Yesterday during the lightning round, Jim Cramer poo-pooed my pick of American Capital Strategies (ACAS). I found it ironic someone called in the day of my blog post. Let's look at Cramer's pick from last year: Cramer's number one growth stock for 2007 is the NYSE Group or NYX. "If you're...

February 14th has been the day to express romantic love in western culture dating back to early Roman times. However, commercially made greeting cards, mass-produced chocolates, sweat-shop lingerie, blood diamonds and imported flowers did not join the tradition until the 20th century.

There are many opinions as to who was the original Valentine, with the most popular theory that it was a clergyman who was executed for secretly marrying couples in ancient Rome. In any event, in 496 A.D., Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honor St. Valentine.

Albert Einstein (German: IPA: (Audio file) ; English: IPA: /ˈælbɝt ˈaɪnstaɪn/) (March 14, 1879 – April 18, 1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist. He is best known for his theory of relativity and specifically mass-energy equivalence, E = mc2. Einstein received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect."Einstein's many contributions to physics include his special theory of relativity, which reconciled mechanics with electromagnetism, and his general theory of relativity, which extended the principle of relativity to non-uniform motion, creating a new theory of gravitation. His other contributions include relativistic cosmology, capillary action, critical opalescence, classical problems of statistical mechanics and their application to quantum theory, an explanation of the Brownian movement of molecules, atomic transition probabilities, the quantum theory of a monatomic gas, thermal properties of light with low radiation density (which laid the foundation for the photon theory), a theory of radiation including stimulated emission, the conception of a unified field theory, and the geometrization of physics.Works by Albert Einstein include more than fifty scientific papers and also non-scientific books. In 1999 Einstein was named Time magazine's "Person of the Century", and a poll of prominent physicists named him the greatest physicist of all time. In popular culture the name "Einstein" has become synonymous with genius.
