Probe detects "spider" crater on Mercury

Louise Prockter, instrument scientist for the Mercury Dual Imaging System, John Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, discusses the 'The Spider' image, seen in the background, during a news conference at NASA Headquarters in Washington, January 30, 2008

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A NASA probe that shot past Mercury this month detected a puzzling geological feature that scientists on Wednesday labeled "The Spider" and found evidence of past volcanic activity on the closest planet to the sun.

The Spider" was the most striking feature described by the scientists. It is made up of more than 100 narrow, flat-floored troughs radiating from a central point, much as petals from a daisy or the legs of a spider.

"A REAL MYSTERY"

"The Spider" has a crater 25 miles wide near its center, but it is unclear whether this is related to the feature's original formation and scientists aren't sure what to make of it.

"It's a real mystery," said Louise Prockter of Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland, who works on the mission.

"The Spider" is in the middle of Mercury's Caloris basin, one of the solar system's biggest impact craters, formed more than 3.8 billion years ago when a large space rock hit.

Rutgers Ice Bowl...

Although there wasn't any Ice, Maggotx attended the Rutgers Ice Bowl Disc Golf Tournament. The Ice Bowls are charity events to raise money, food and awareness for those not so fortunate. Anyway, it was attended by about 40 disc golfers and a great time was had by all. Over $1,000.00 was raised for the Franklin Twp. Food Bank.

NASA: Mystery Creature On Mars Is Wind-Carved Rock

An image of a mysterious human-like creature on Mars that sparked a flurry of Internet activity is not an alien but a feature of the atmosphere, according to NASA.

The image, which was captured by NASA's spacecraft Spirit last November, circulated the Internet this week.After seeing the photo, some called the image the equivalent of Big Foot pictures and evidence of an alien presence on Mars.A version of the image was even magnified to show the apparent creature walking with his head tilted to the side.However, NASA said the creature is a feature of the atmosphere -- a rock 2 inches high and carved by the Martian winds, according to a CBS News report Thursday.The image is available on NASA's Web site.

Ok you Make the Call....Mars photo taken by a Rover ....is it a Rock, Alien, Bigfoot or what...???

Is this proof of life on Mars?

ARM outstretched, head tilted in mid-stride — is this mystery figure the final proof that life exists on Mars?

The intriguing image was captured by Nasa’s six-wheeled robot explorer Spirit during its three-month mission to study the surface of the Red Planet.

Snapped at the rock-strewn Gusev Crater, believed by scientists to be the bed of an ancient lake, the grainy picture appears to show a Bigfoot-style alien creature strolling casually down a hill.

Spirit ... found proof of life?

Its bulbous “head” is cocked to one side, as if in concentration, while its right “arm” appears to be reaching out for balance.

Scientists believe that if Mars DID once have surface water, it had the potential to support life.

And some say this could be the crucial evidence of inhabitants that they were seeking when they launched their £400million mission in 2003.

The “creature” was spotted when space enthusiasts analysed photos beamed 100million miles to Earth by Spirit and its twin explorer Opportunity.

Of course, hard-nosed realists may claim the “Martian” is simply a trick of the light and shadow on a dust-covered outcrop.

But whatever it shows, the mind-boggling image will set people guessing from Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads.

It’s a genuine space oddity.

GO GIANTS ..................!!!!! Let's see if they they can handle the PATS.....

New York Giants' overtime victory a hit on television

NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Giants' 23-20 overtime victory over the Green Bay Packers got a 31.7 overnight rating on Fox, the highest for an NFL conference championship game since 1996.

The Giants' win, which set up a Super Bowl matchup with the New England Patriots, got a 46 share, Fox said Monday. The rating was up 21 percent from the 26.2/46 for the Chicago Bears' 39-14 win over the New Orleans Saints in last year's NFC championship, which was in the early time slot.

Sunday's Giants game received the highest rating for any television broadcast since the Indianapolis Colts' 29-17 win over the Bears in last year's Super Bowl.

New England's 21-12 victory over the San Diego Chargers in the AFC championship received a 27.4/48, down 2 percent from the 28.1/40 for Patriots' 38-34 loss to Indianapolis in the late time slot last year.

The rating is the percentage of television households in the nation viewing a telecast, and the share is the percentage among those homes with televisions in use at the time.

ACLU: Sex in Restroom Stalls Is Private

ST. PAUL, Minn. - In an effort to help (" I have a Wide Stance") Sen. Larry Craig, the American Civil Liberties Union is arguing that people who have sex in public bathrooms have an expectation of privacy.

Craig, The Pervert Senator of Idaho, is asking the Minnesota Court of Appeals to let him withdraw his guilty plea to disorderly conduct stemming from a bathroom sex sting at the Minneapolis airport.

The ACLU filed a brief Tuesday supporting Craig. It cited a Minnesota Supreme Court ruling 38 years ago that found that people who have sex in closed stalls in public restrooms "have a reasonable expectation of privacy."''

The ACLU argued that even if Craig was inviting the officer to have sex, his actions wouldn't be illegal.

Word 'Immunity' Used Outside Of Reality Show For First Time In Five Years


INDIANAPOLIS—Dr. Thomas Draker's announcement Monday that his patient Sarah Ross, 32, had successfully built up an immunity to bee stings was the first instance in five years that the word "immunity" has been uttered outside the realm of reality television. According to official records, since 2002's use of the word during an eighth-grade civics class, the term has been used an estimated 13,546,873 times, solely by reality show viewers and contestants while discussing the possibility of being protected from elimination during an upcoming challenge. After being informed of her immunity to bee stings, Ross reportedly asked her doctor if that meant she could safely move on to next week's round of allergies.

Fire Chief Under Fire Over E-Mailed Photos Of Topless Crash Victim

UMATILLA, Fla. -- A suspended Central Florida fire chief could lose his job over e-mailed photos from a crash scene that included at least one image of a female victim's exposed breasts.

Umatilla Fire Chief Richard took photos of a 26-year-old woman being treated by emergency workers after she crashed her sport utility vehicle into a tree.

Shirk snapped photos of the woman and then e-mailed them to surrounding fire departments, Local 6's Charnel Wright reported.Umatilla City Manager Glenn Irby said the woman, who later died, had her privacy rights violated."In passing that information along to others that had nothing to do with the emergency rescue, that becomes to me a moral issue," Irby said.

"Distasteful, if you will."Shirk wrote a letter to the city manager, admitting that he snapped the photos but said he never meant for them to be derogatory. In the letter, Shirk said he takes photos at every major fire and accident scene. He called the photos "invaluable investigative tools" and said they were e-mailed for educational purposes."

If it were for training purposes, keeping them in-house would have probably been OK," Irby said.Irby also said that Shirk was told his services were not needed when he arrived on the scene and he should have left.

The chief said he did not realize there was nudity in the e-mailed photos. Local 6 News reported that Shirk remains suspended and could lose his job.

It rains iguanas at Bill Baggs park.....

Wednesday night's bitter cold came like a giant Sominex for the tree-dwelling iguanas of South Florida.

When the temperature falls below a certain level, the large green lizards drop out of the trees and litter the ground.

They aren't dead. At least a lot of them aren't. It is as if they are in suspended animation, said Robert Yero, park manager at Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park on Key Biscayne.

It was raining iguanas at Bill Baggs Thursday morning. There were a couple underneath buttonwood trees and a third beneath a sea grape. All were about 30 yards from the beach, in the coastal hammock.

''We have found dozens on the bike path after a major cold snap,'' said Yero. ``When they warm up in the sun, they come back to life.''

Yero isn't too fond of the comatose critters. They are exotics from Central and South America, brought in as pets and then released to the wilds by their owners when they got too big for the house.

They munch on the foliage, literally nipping in the bud efforts to revive native vegetation.

''They really are taking over,'' Yero said.
