1) Local News

          LA Weekly

          Science Friday

             Comet update:

              Comet ISON just whipped around the sun and is going to rocket past us on
           it's one-time-only pass through the solar system. Top speed during the turn,
           you ask?

           A: 350km/sec.

           This doesn't sound radically fast to me. How about restating it?

           Okay, a bullet coming out of a rifle barrel travels 35km/sec, or:

       TEN TIMES AS SLOW!

           Put another way the comet would take 15 seconds to go from NY to LA.


             Mars update

No money was paid to anyone for anything here, so look somewhere else!

"The Journey," by Douglas Whiting can be read with great love and respect and hope for your enjoyment. This time with complete endorsement, authorization, and  permission from the author.

We did not pay anyone for use of the opening music from Cake ("Wheels," off of "Pressure Chief") or the close music either:
 Spin Doctors "More Than She Knows," too. Mr. Scruff is still waiting for his check, too. The close music is his song "Kalimba." We will share when there is something to share.
