A scary number - the US debt:
$30.2 E12 ... and climbing ...
Debt is 125 % of GDP!

For information on ... me:
June 1, 2016 --> now

  • I'm done! Retired! Effective June 1, 2016. ☺
  • Just enjoying my retirement: a few new grandKids - since then; now a total of eight.
  • I'll be listing a few useful links here - mostly blogs and mostly of a scientific nature for anyone interested.
  • Keep an eye out.
  • "WattsUpWithThat"   by Anthony Watts. This is the most significant scientific blog ever. It is at the center of the climate science debate. If you have any interest in "climate change" then you should be visiting this site daily.
  • JunkScience.com  by Steve Milloy, an activist for transparency in scientific research.

To the Florham Campus ...
in Madison, NJ

from N, S, E, or W, click here. NJ Transit provides MidTOWN Direct rail service between Madison Station and Penn Station, NY. Times here are current as of Nov 08, 2020. MTA Subways from Penn Station can get you uptown to the theatre district very easily. Information about the entire NYC Transit system, including maps, stations, schedules, and fares, is here.

For data about the elements...

visit the WebElements (see button below) site. This is Mark Winter's (Univ. of Sheffield) award-winning on-line Periodic Table of the Elements and is particularly useful because it is one of the few sources of the CORRECT version of the modern Periodic Table. For links to other useful chemistry sites, click here!

Greens ...

might be interested in the vast amount of legitimate science surrounding the "global warming" or "cooling" or "climate change" or (the latest): "disruption" doomsday debate. The science comes out uniformly against any likely human influence and especially against any adverse effect of carbon dioxide. Here are a few links that point to major assemblies of data and scientific papers regarding AGW. First are over 1350 (and growing) peer-reviewed papers at PopularTechnology.net and the massive NIPCC report. If you want to do your own research almost all raw climatic data is here. Steven McIntyre's award-winning blog, ClimateAudit, since before ClimateGates I, II, and III, has become the principal center for detailed analysis of AGW claims. Finally, the famous "WattsUpWithThat" of Anthony Watts, which is at the center of the debate and a major source of information.
