Heckofa job neocons!

Tell me again, who pays for the tab incurred by your deluded faith in
deregulation and the mythical "Invisible Hand of the Free Market"?
And is it love of country, or love of money, that you put first?

  Motion of Mars lichen under Phoenix microscope         


Author: Horace Heffner

See 5 second video at:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0O68Xop-WpM

Source and background info is at: http://www.mtaonline.net/~hheffner/MarsLichen.pdf

There is all kinds of stuff in motion in the Sol 112 Phoenix
micrographs. This is an indication of living material, lichen-like
material.

For example, a browser can be used to overlay register and then toggle
between the following three photos, all taken using a red light
source, and having slightly differing focus points. The above video
was provided as an easy substitute for this process. It shows
unmistakable motion of many objects, some flat or leaf-like, some
clumps rotating about on thin stalks:

Some of the Sol 112 photos show what may be Perithecia, little ball
like fruiting bodies with now opening ostioles.

  Foolish reporters will tell you this was not a Martian animal and these were not numerous Martian cells, etc.

Foolish reporters will tell you this (Fig. 1) was not a Martian animal
and these (Fig. 2) were not numerous Martian cells, because NASA is
not scheduled to verify such things until the next Mars mission.

Martian animal is in Fig. 1.
Numerous Martian cell remains are in Fig. 2.
Silts are in Fig. 3.
Foolish reporters cannot tell silts from cells, as both have a size of
2 micrometers to 60 micrometers. The difference between the two in two-
dimensional photos is that silts have sharp angles while cells don't
(See Ref. 1).

Martian Alice has three articulated vertebrates.

Fig. 1 below shows three articulated vertebrates below the skull and a
vessel protruding from the eye socket of Alice on Mars.

  Looking for Oregon meteorites         


Author: dwheeler
Date: Sep 19, 2008 14:56

I will shortly retire (Nov. 7) and plan on spending some time looking
for meteorites in the state of Oregon. Looking for any sources of
known falls, including those in the Portland area circa 1900.

I have already found information on some 13 meteorites or fireballs
known from Oregon, not including the July 2 1939 fireball which zoomed
across Portland on its way to impact naer Washougal, WA.

Have a newspaper clipping (quite old) detailing an estimated 4,000
pound meteorite, including picture and first-hand account of fall.
Anyone else heard of this one that took a team of horses and 6 men to
move it a short distance?

One of the most interesting questions I have regards the historic
recovery by Ellis Hughes of the Willamette Meteorite in 1903. How did
Hughes know it was a meteorite? What reference did he have to make
that analysis?

  NO BIG BANG. Rather, the speed of light decreases with distance         


Author: Pentcho Valev
Date: Sep 19, 2008 02:32

According to the formula:

frequency = (speed of light)/(wavelength)

either the speed of light or the wavelength varies with the frequency.
The latter alternative is absurd, as demonstrated by John Kennaugh on
the forum sci.physics.relativity:
