Astronomy: The Phoenix craft of the “Mars Scout Program” to mars is a $475 million mission to launch and land the Phoenix spacecraft on the surface of Mars and explore it. When you consider the massive undertaking of such a project, NASA’s slim budget of $475 million is extremely frugal, pennies really, but despite it’s [...]
Great News: Man, amazing passion speech. It was really wise to speak of unity, a topic that gets people charged, instead of complex policies from the get-go of his opening speech.

The Large Hadron Collider was such massive news that it definitely needs its own article.
LHC will reveal to us details about dark and antimatter. It’s like an opportunity to replicate some never before-seen conditions, and answer millions of unknown questions; doing that, sometimes scares people! haha.
Transportation: Interestingly enough, local Californians and many other commuters have grown a liking to the public transportation method of commuting they adopted to deal with outrageous gas prices not too long ago.

Entertainment: Hollywood does it again, with the inverse relationship between entertainment and economy — if the economy slumps, movie ticket profit soars — Hollywood has made $4.2 billion from May to Labor Day. Interesting to note that the big box-office sellers were super-hero movies like “The Incredible Hulk”, “Batman”, “Hancock”, and “Iron [...]
California: Good ol’ Scharzeneggar has created a temporary solution to get moving with the california budget. No one could decide how to close the 15.2 billion deficit. Republicans disliked the idea of tax raises, while democrats vied for tax increases and cuts to clear the deficit. Likely using a trusty math calculator, [...]

One of their competitors, whom many Togolese did not know because he resided in France and had only visited his home country once, won Togo’s first Olympic medal! Boukpeti, 27, who chose to compete for Togo in Beijing when it became clear he was too [...]

Meteorology: Cool that twitter proved to be the main method of communication after the earthquake today.
Celebrity: This site was shocking. It’s old news. Many of those people died years ago, but how in the hell was Jimi Hendrix (for example, on the shock list) only 27? He looks like he’s 50 in some pictures! [...]

Finances:Turns out when the FDIC seized the mortgage company IndyMac on July 11, the inevitable cascade of financial repercussions has started to appear.

The law does it’s thing and books the crooks or relinquishes the innocent. That’s fine and dandy, if the methodology and the outcome is right. The problem with officers of the law, police, soldier guards at guantanamo, and the like is the constant assumption of guilt during any interrogation. The guantanamo soldiers spend days, months, [...]
