Astronomers Discovered "Hell" in Space!
A new astronomical find gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "it's a hell hole." The Spitzer Space Telescope has just sent in astonishing new data about the most bizarre extrasolar planet ever photographed. It literally fits the classical descriptions of Hell: the temperatures on the surface of this planet reach a scorching 2040 degrees Celsius (3700 Fahrenheit), almost as hot as some small stars. Another strange feature of the newly discovered planet is that it's pitch black, the fact that it does not appear to reflect any starlight suggesting it must be blacker than charcoal. What's even stranger about this alien world is the fact that because it is so hot, it may glow like an ember. |

What happens when somebody finally gets down to identify actual climatic patterns in a specific area, without the AGW/GHG credo? This is what happens: Static and Dynamic Agroclimatology in the Veneto region - Analysis of the 1956-2004 period, PhD thesis by Alessandro Chiaudani (Main text is in Italian, but there is a summary in English between pages 8 and 9, and most graphs should be self-explanatory). In particular one of Chiaudani's findings may sound truly ironic:
In other words, at regional level it is possible to identify...TIPPING POINTS...that make local climate switch from one "climatic homogeneous phase" and another. |

The beauty behind the numbers: There seems to be a preconception that scientists are, generally, not very artistic. However, I would argue that art, and indeed, beauty is in the understanding of the subject. The equation "e=mc²" is a thing of beauty if you can comprehend the complexity and profound nature of the fundamental realisation it is expressing. The idea that energy and mass are "two sides of the same coin" is a cornerstone of modern science and to have the concept expressed so simply is surely a thing of beauty. In the eye of the right beholder it is art. |

Photos: 1st photo is an Aerial Photo of the Lab Complex in question and 2nd Photo is the Keiller Building. Consider this explaination from Dr. Mike Holland, Director of CERES (Coalition for Environmental Responsibility and Education through Synergy) "Here is the lab in question from Google map (marked "A" in blue pointer. Google has a street view at position of little person to left of Keiler; the photo view is below this aerial ). Note the Google location for the Keiller building puts it in the terra cotta colored roof to the north, but I suspect, by the number of fume hood vents on and shadows of vents coming out of the more modern building just to the south, that the BSL -4 is there, instead". Thanks to Dr.Holland for the photos and explaination. |

Here is an opportunity for your students to be creative in science and math projects and presentations. Students (and teachers) can create their own short videos to support multimedia presentations. The Animoto service is free for educators after registering. Your class will be able to create unlimited videos Here is a short video I created in less than 15 minutes.

So you were day dreaming in class about a cheerleader and popped a woody, huh? Well here's your silver lining: It's normal, so chill out. Now I know a lot of girls will think you're some kind of weird perv...and you are, but i also know that there are freaks everywhere. Keep your ear to the hallways. At some point it will surface that a freaky girl wants you. After that just sit back and let nature take it's course. While all of this is happening I can guarantee that some jocks will beat the shit out of you. They will take it as a personal offence to their girlfriends. Take the beating and wait for the sympathy snatch to roll in. :) |
