Stocked to bursting with handcrafted sandwiches, savory sides, and organic fair-trade coffee, this unassuming deli sates the appetites of on-the-go customers. A chalkboard menu presents the vegan breakfast sandwich with a colorful flourish of penmanship, along with the avocado hero, with the green fruit acting as "meat" amid ample veggies and cheese. Eco-friendly java from Olympia Coffee Roasting Company gives customers a welcome jolt to their morning in case they forget to kiss their toaster, and freshly squeezed juices and gluten-free pastries accommodate health-conscious breakfasts.
Marisa and Chad North both know the struggles of controlling gluten intolerance. Marisa began showing the symptoms of the condition at 18 months of age. Her mother, also diagnosed as gluten intolerant, knew how to modify her diet, but it often left Marisa feeling alienated from her friends. Chad wasn't aware of his gluten intolerance until he was 14, when a collapse from exhaustion turned out to validate the diagnosis that eight doctors had once ignored. Their shared histories and efforts in healthy eating inspired the two to create Sans GlutenFree Grocery, a store that that stocks only gluten-free edibles that are tasty, nutritious, and safe, removing would-be imposters with a series of trapdoors.
In 2012, reporters at the San Francisco Chronicle divided the city into a 49-square mile grid. From there, they went on a mission to find the most iconic food business in every square mile. The winner for Square 29: Guerra Quality Meats. Here are a few of the reasons the business was a natural choice.
The Guerra family has been in the neighborhood for more than 50 years. Brothers Mark and Battista Guerra opened up their butcher shop in 1954. Today, Mark's sons Paul and Robert carry on the tradition alongside Battista's son John.
The butchers have adapted with the times. Over the years, the Guerra family added new features including catering, deli meats, and a sandwich counter. They've also forged partnerships with sustainable and organic producers, including Marin Sun Farms and Mary's Organic Chicken.
They make cooking as easy as possible Beyond swordfish and prime New York strip steaks, the Guerras assemble ready-to-cook meals that customers can prep at home in 30 minutes or less. Take their pasta meals for example: simply choose a noodle type, a sauce, and an optional meat such as mild pork sausage.
They fill orders fast Customers can place orders online by 1 p.m., then pick up their food between 4 p.m. and closing time the very same day.
Smiling and chitchat are also on the menu The staff here is reportedly very friendly, so feel free to shoot the breeze while a butcher slices up pork chops.
In 1976, two UC Davis graduate students bought 20 acres of land in the highly arable Capay Valley. One of the students, Kathleen Barsotti, was working toward her master's degree in ecology and was determined to grow vegetables and fruits in an eco-friendly way: organically. The organic-food movement hadn't yet entered the public consciousness, and Kathleen worked overtime to convince restaurants, stores, and consumers of the taste-able merits of her process. Over time, given the possible health and environmental benefits of certified organic food, she succeeded. The farm sprouted to 300 acres to accommodate the increased demand. Today, a second generation runs the farm as well as a shop inside San Francisco's Ferry Building. Dubbed Farm Fresh To You, the store furnishes customers' bags or portable cornucopia horns with all sorts of soil-sprouted goods, including heirloom tomatoes, sweet peas, and fresh asparagus. The farm also teams up with fellow Yolo County and Pacific Northwest farms to deliver boxes of seasonal produce to area homes.
One of the nicest things about Jump Start Coffee & Whole Foods is the way that the smallish shop interacts with its earlybird customers. Locals freshly roused from their homes in the hills, commuters greeting the newness of the day on their walk to the 24th Street BART station; all are welcome inside for a simple sunrise pick-me-up. A notch above the standard first-thing-in-the-morning café – and more full-service than corner stores that sell liquor, cigarettes and sad produce -- Noe Valley's Jump Start is a simple neighborhood classic. It's a deli that caters to the local work-from-home crowd and a coffee shop where ordering an extra shot of espresso won't get you the evil eye from the purist barista. Any day that starts with a bagel and a schmear from this happy-go-lucky spot is going to be just fine.
Every day, San Francisco Soup Company?s chefs craft crunchy salads and approximately 12 soups from scratch, keeping an eye on sustainability and seasonality. Both salads and soups showcase organic and locally sourced ingredients such as cage-free eggs from Glaum Egg Ranch and organic milk from Clover Stornetta, and soups cast tendrils of steam from biodegradable containers. San Francisco Soup Company?s commitment to conscious dining extends to the nutritional realms: each recipe comes with nutrition stats, and the menu even designates which soups are gluten-, meat- and dairy-free, and which soup spoons best shield noses from affectionate pinches.

This is one of the most popular routes up the highest mountain in Wales. Starting from Pen-y-pass at the top of the Llanberis Path 359m above sea level takes away the burden of a long ascent and saves you a lot of time and effort. This route can be done in two ways - you can either ascend the mountain the easy way via the Pyg Track all the way to the top, or for those who prefer a challenge there is Crib Goch, a far more exciting route with hands on scrambling and knife edge ridge walking. These routes are often used by walkers attempting the Three Peaks and Welsh 3000's Challenges so they can be busy at peak times. The busy Pen-y-pass car park can get full quickly so you may have to park in Nant Peris and take advantage of the excellent Park & Ride bus service. In bad weather and winter conditions the Crib Goch route should only be done by those who have experience of ridge walking and scrambling in such conditions and in the right gear. Snowdon is a serious mountain with changeable weather conditions at any time of the year. You should always be carrying the right gear and know how to use it, particularly your map and compass. If anyone ever tells you not to climb Snowdon because it is too busy then simply ignore them. It is a magnificent mountain massif and this walk takes you into the heart of its most impressive glacial cwm sculptured by the last ice age.

The weather is a very important part of hill walking. Weather conditions and daylight hours will dictate where you walk, what gear you will need to carry, how far you walk, and may even decide if you go at all. The following links will help you gather information on weather conditions for areas of Britain...
Planning your journey before you set off for your walk can save you vital hours on the day. You need to make sure you know the area surrounding your starting point as many factors can influence or change the place you park. Don't forget change for parking meters and fees.
Maintenance of your vehicle and being ready for breakdown situations when driving to remote areas is also vital. Pack a full spare petrol can in your boot, and take de-icing tools in winter, including a shovel. The Transport Direct website below is a great resource for anyone wanting to get to the start of their walk using public transport...
Carrying and wearing the right gear is essential for walkers to remain comfortable and safe while hill walking in Britain. However, the best gear in the world is of no use to anyone who doesn't know how to use and care for it. Knowing how to use your gear will give you a much more enjoyable experience. The following items are, in my opinion, the essential items to wear and carry for a hill walk in Britain. It would be foolish to head into the hills and mountains of Britain without these essential items and the knowledge of how to use them. Check out the gear section of this site for techniques and gear lists...
It is good practise to tell someone where you are going, and when you expect to return. If you don't get in contact when you said you would on your return, and those you told can't get hold of you, at least they will be able to provide the search party with your general location.
Emergency equipment in the check list above means items such as a survival bag, whistle, and emergency food rations. This isn't anything special; any whistle will do, the orange emergency bags only costs a few pounds, and basic food rations can consist of a couple of chocolate bars. Carrying a head lamp is also an important component and a vital piece of kit used for signalling when you require rescuing.
You should always try and get out of a difficult or emergency situation using your own gear, knowledge and energy. If you cannot do this, then you should dial 999 and ask for the police. Use all the gear you have to keep any unwell or injured members of your party or yourself safe and warm, and use your signalling devices to let the rescuers know your whereabouts. To do this blow six good long blasts on your whistle, or flash six flashes of your torch. Stop for one minute. Repeat. Carry on with the whistle blasts until someone reaches you, and don't stop because you've heard a reply.
Never contact mountain rescue unless absolutely necessary, but on the other hand don't ever feel guilty for having to do so, especially if you are a prepared walker. The Mountain Rescue teams are full of fantastic like-minded souls who love nothing more than people who are prepared for being safe in the mountains.

Members and guests of North Shore Synagogue's Brotherhood BBQ and Erev Shabbat Service enjoyed a wonderful summer's evening in early July with a classic BBQ and services led by Brotherhood, with help from Rabbi Jaimee Shalhevet and Cantor Rich Pilatsky.
"This is a wonderful way to connect with other members of Brotherhood, which focuses on building camaraderie among our members, and instilling a strong sense of community away from the hectic pressures of our day-to-day lives," said Brotherhood co-president Jeffrey Levine.
As the synagogue begins the second year since Temple Beth Elohim, formerly in Old Bethpage, merged with North Shore Synagogue in Syosset, the attendance that evening demonstrated how smoothly the congregations have come together, with as many congregants and Brotherhood members coming from Plainview and Old Bethpage as from Syosset and nearby communities.
"Our Brotherhood BBQs in the summer and around Sukkot in the fall are among the most popular events at North Shore Synagogue," noted Brotherhood co-president Michael Rothar. "More than 80 people attended on this beautiful Friday evening."
In addition to cooking up burgers, hot dogs, veggie burgers and potato knishes, Brotherhood members led the evening's Shabbat service. The men led the congregants in prayer in English and Hebrew while Rabbi Shalhevet and Cantor Pilatsky's voices and guitar accompaniment enhanced the service. The sermon that evening was delivered by Brotherhood co-president Jeffrey Levine.

Sharapova's Sugarpova lolly range 'smacks of irresponsible marketing'
- From: news.com.au
- January 11, 2013
- Tennis star Maria Sharapova releases lolly line
- Range includes gummy bears, sour worms, gum balls
- Slammed as "inappropriate" and "irresponsible"
MARIA Sharapova might be in Australia for the tennis, but she has another project up her sleeve - launching her "entirely inappropriate" boutique lolly line, Sugarpova.
With 12 flavours and lollies shaped as high heels, purses and tennis balls, Sugarpova is "a premium lolly brand that reflects the playful personality that is Maria Sharapova" - and has been created specifically with girls in mind.
"When I couldn't find what I was looking for in the marketplace, I decided to create the type of candy that girls like me crave. I wanted something that could bring the fun and passion of gummy candies to life, and be my own little project from start to finish," Sharapova said of the lollies, which carry names such as Flirty, Sassy, Cheeky and Splashy and have already been released in the US and UK.
But with a whopping 21 grams of sugar per serving (five pieces), are lollies the kind of thing sport stars should be spruiking?

I'm more disturbed that a sweets line aimed at girls has "high heels" and "purses". EW! Pass the gender neutral snakes and party mix please

The majority of Australian athletes aren't lucky enough to get lucrative deals with snack food companies. That's the reason they don't like it. Jealousy.

Anonymous of Melbourne Posted at 3:21 PM January 11, 2013
What a load of nonsense, Sharapova has the right to promote which ever product she chooses. Just because she is an elite athlete doesn't mean she can't eat candy. Any one who thinks that eating excessive amounts of sweets will turn them into an elite athlete because said sweets are promoted by a pro tennis player doesn't have what it takes anyway.

How about making your own mind up & take responsibility for educating your children on what not to eat or to eat in moderation. If Maria was eating a packet of her sweets a day then I doubt very much that she would be one of the top tennis players in the world. It's all about a balanced lifestyle & Maria is proof of that. If you don't like it, or need it, don't buy it...it's that simple!

Phil of Sydney Posted at 3:23 PM January 11, 2013
Inappropriate? Irresponsible? She's launching a range of sweets - not cigarettes or semi automatic guns. Calm down people. If anyone can get away with munching on lollies it's Maria Sharapova. Good on her!

The shag of Brisbane Posted at 3:25 PM January 11, 2013
When did having the occasional serving of lollies become an unhealthy habit? Is she advocating these lollies should substitute any other form of healthy eating? The problem is too few parents are prepared to say no to their children because they are so busy trying to be their besties. Whats the problem with having a few lollies no and then? No need to eat 5 servings at one sitting. Looks like the nannies have struck again! Take responsibility for your own and your childrens actions.

Preeeeetty sure that being a tennis star, flogging lollies kind of gives the "You can eat sugar, but you have to do the exercise to justify it" message? Just sayin'...

Brent of Perth Posted at 3:30 PM January 11, 2013
Jesus Christ, it's candy, people choose to eat it an know its sugary. Sharpapova would work harder on fitness in a day than the idiot that thought this article up has in a lifetime and she eats and wants to market candy, big flipping deal. Nice work advertising the product too... by your standards thats pretty irresponsible

Lamb of Brisbane Posted at 3:30 PM January 11, 2013
Come on people. This is a commercial product like energy drinks and chocolate. It is neither responsible nor irresponsible. That is a choice for consumer. If you think it is no good then don't buy it for yourself or your kids. If you guys want to be responsible then cigarettes and energy drinks are even worse. Don't put yourself on a moral high ground and stop whinging.
Comment 12 of 55
Paul of Sydney Posted at 3:30 PM January 11, 2013
Oh be serious... Sharapova is a business owner who happens to also be an athlete. Sure, she has "brand presence" from her sporting career but this should not limit her from other endeavors. There is no issue here - the morally incorrect thing to do would be to prevent her from owning a company because she has played a bit of sport. Seriously, let her live her life and good luck to her for making a go of it!

Its all relative - the majority of athletes aren't in a position to promote such a product and make money off it, therefore it is naturally easier to say they do not believe it to be right. Put all of them in the same situation and the numbers would differ.
Comment 22 of 55
Bella of Sydney Posted at 3:44 PM January 11, 2013
Leave them Alone, it shows they even athletes are allowed to indulge a little bit, maybe if the obese kids these days actually idoled these athletes they would be out there playing sports instead of watching tv? And most people who are thin know fatty foods and confectionary in moderation is more than fine. lay off people, this makes me respect her as a person for showing she has a fun side and likes to indulge while mainting her athletic career.

Paddy1980 of Sydney Posted at 3:51 PM January 11, 2013
Oh come on.. the irony of an Australian media source critisizing irresponsible endorsing.. hello... the Australian cricket team freely endorsing KFC and Coca Cola. Even going to the point of showing proffessional athletes eating KFC in the ad breaks. its disgusting and should not be allowed. Generations of obese kids are on the way. The government should step and only allow national teams to be sponsored by responsible companies. Rant over

It's similar to the American swim champ promoting Big Macs. It's a free world, and accordingly it will always be bucks and more bucks before (or instead of ) principle.

Peter B of Adelaide Posted at 3:54 PM January 11, 2013
But it's OK for cricket players to promote KFC? Unless the product is illegal to advertise, leave her alone

Riley Lucashenko of Austrlaia Posted at 3:55 PM January 11, 2013
I think is a wonderful idea , and that if people cant relate to been given a candy or taken for ice cream by their mum and dad after doing well at training or sport then no wonder why they are so bitter as to say that this is where the danger leads , come on children get how much pocket money ? Its up to their parents to install healthy eating habits and to know when a treat is a treat so it can be appreciated . She isn't selling Bulk candy at a discounted price that has a picture of her sweating at the court , Its feminine Pretty Candy that's a fancy treat to have in your handbag or to be given as a treat. Parents have to take responsibility for their children's weight and health , if you raise your children to understand health and be intelligent enough to make their own decisions irrespective of what the world produces in pretty packaging then maybe they will motivated and switched on enough to show the dedication Maria has to get where she is and then profit from a side business that is something she loves,

Dear lord ... do we have nothing better to do than once again blame 'someone else' for our own child's unhealthy habits instead of taking responsibility for them as parents. It's not like she invented lollies ... kids (and adults) were eating them long before she came along and will be eating them for a long time afterwards. Besides, looks like a pretty impressive marketing campaign ...

So what, just because she's a professional tennis player, does that mean she's also signed a fantastical "holier than thou" contract with the world to live - and spriuke - a life of total celebacy from treats and sweets?? Come on, that would be a pretty stupid contract.

Beiha-Malen Yanez of Perth Posted at 4:04 PM January 11, 2013
I think people should get overthemselves and stop 'idolising' celebrities and putting them up on pedestals as if they were demi-gods. Parents should take responsibility for their own children and decide what to give them to eat and encourage a healthy lifestyle and exercise. Let Maria Sharapova have her lollies, she should not be blamed for childhood obesity!

So what? We had Grant Kenny - in his prime, a big influence over young people - promoting Nutri Grain as being a healthy choice with its 30% sugar content. And there are numerous sports stars, major sporting events and big league sports teams promoting so called 'sports drinks' as being good for you with their high sugar content. In any event, if she stuffs a dozen or so into her mouth while playing, perhaps she won't be able to grunt and shriek.

Don't you just love the fall? It's my favorite season. I love the crisp smell, the coolness in the air, the beautiful changing colors of the leaves falling on the ground, lighting my fall scented candles in the house, and being able to add a cute sweater or light jacket to hide the muffin top that's jutting over my pants. I just love it! The October Fests are always fun, and it's such a great family time to go apple, berry, and pumpkin picking. And who doesn't love pumpkin slinging, going through corn mazes, enjoying pony and hay rides, making scarecrows, and putting out Halloween and fall decorations. The kids love it! We have a huge wall calendar with pockets to countdown to Halloween, and we put little candies and Halloween related mini things in there for the kids. We got it at Potterybarn.
When I said I love when CJ brings me candy, I meant it. I was one of those annoying kids still trick or treating in high school. I figured I was only 5'3", so people might think I was younger. I was going to try and milk it as long as I could. I remember filling a pillowcase! The trick is to go toward the end of the night and dump out most of your bag so people think you're just getting started. Then they feel sorry for you and give you more. Plus they get tired of answering the door by then and just want to get rid of their candy. I had it all figured out.
Anyway, I hope it didn't sound like I send my kid out there trick or treating on his own. Of course Chris and I are always with him. I put the pumpkins in the yard (sort of a homemade pumpkin patch), and the kids go pick their favorite pumpkin to carve. We love roasting the seeds and eating them. It's good family fun!
I was really sad and blown away to hear from Teresa what happened at the christening. It just didn't seem to make sense or seem real. All I could think was, "Aren't you supposed to congratulate the parents at a christening? Why did her own brother call her garbage?" And the banging on the table thing? Must be a Gorga trait. Something in their DNA maybe? It just wasn't adding up. Was I missing something? Teresa never talked that much about her brother or Melissa with me. I'd seen them at all of her parties, but never noticed if they talked to each other. I think I just assumed that all was well. Up until this point I hadn't heard anything that would make me think there were such deep issues between her and her brother that he would call her garbage. (By the way...I just love Joey Gorga in a dress!)

I agree Alex: thinking further down the road is definitely worth doing. And integrated reporting has a couple of drawbacks for me too. A key one being that it produces a report aimed squarely at financial stakeholders, and not others. NGOs and others would likely feel information is missing from integrated reports.

Ticking Death
I understand that Malzahar had visited Icathia at the beckon of something from the Void. There were statues of dark, horrific gods in Icathia, which seem to be connected to the statuettes that and other artwork that you've found. Icathia has been in Runeterric history since ancient times, making it potentially old enough to have connections to this figure that you've come across. Icathia might have been the first location that this dark figure visited. Is it possible that, with Icathia's connections to the Void, this dark figure comes from the Void itself? The Void is said to harbor entities that seek to find their way into other worlds. And all of these creatures seek to consume something: Kha'Zix seeks to consume the most promising creatures of the land and absorb their strength; Cho'Gath feeds even his predators to grow in size and use their souls to feed the Void; And Kog'Maw hungers eternally. Perhaps this dark figure seeks to feed on blood, or even death itself. He does not stay long enough to be heralded as a hero and seems to appear only when battles call for great bloodshed. He, like many creatures of Void, appear to seek to satisfy a hunger within themselves.
There may only be one living person to have seen this entity, however. Lissandra, the leader of the Frostguard, was defeated centuries ago by "ancient warriors". The Frostguard were powerful and Lissandra was unstoppable. Perhaps this dark figure appeared in that crucial battle in Freljord all those years ago, turning the tide of battle and feeding to his satisfaction. It would be rather... difficult.... to visit Lissandra, let alone live after meeting her. But, is there someone who might have more knowledge about her demise? I'm certain that Jayce, or an alumnus of the Piltover Academy, could help you get more information from the library. Perhaps Lissandra is the key to understanding who this dark figure is.
And finally, a question for you. The image of the figure in the book from the Piltover library - does the gauntlet or amulet on the arm of the figure look anything like the one you found in the Shurima Desert? If it does, getting more information about your amulet might answer a few questions for you.
Best of luck to you, Prodigal Explorer!

I'm sure you're getting plenty of messages and letters and all sorts concerning your findings, however hopefully this will meet your attention. One thing that we can be certain of is that this figure EXISTS. it is no religion or theory or belief of a figure that some have claimed to see in dreams. The consistancy is too strong, I'm sure you've noticed that yourself.
I believe him to be a sort of immortal, and considering this, I would reccomend getting Kayle and Morganna's opinions on this, as Angels and Demons are more or less the same, differentiated only by context. It's possible it could be a creature of some nature, but what we can surely assume, is this is a being native to Runeterra, existing since long before the Rune Wars, and on that note, perhaps also ask Maokai, another being of this world. Or perhaps Malphite, considering his nature, may be able to tell us something about the statue itself, if discovered. Perhaps the elder the being, the wiser they may be on the subject.
One thing I've learned from all the stories, adventures, and legends that I've heard, seen, told, and experienced, is that once something like this makes it to the public eye, so too, does the being itself. Best of luck, Ezreal, I pray that some light be shed on this issue soon.
-King Rhiot
Ezreal - have you had a chance to to look around Mt Taragon? I get a funny feeling from it...
Has anyone else felt that this dark figure may be connected with Kayle/Morgana's race? Their world is considered far away and has an ancient war going on as far as we know. Ashram did mysteriously disappear after all.
...who knows, Nasus or Renekton might know something as well.

"He said he would not raise taxes, as a matter of fact he said it six times in the debate because he wanted to make darn sure everybody heard him, he would not raise taxes and then he comes up afterwards and he becomes the biggest tax increase governor in the history of Virginia," said Senate hopeful and former Governor Jim Gilmore about his opponent Mark Warner.
As part of his working families tour, Gilmore spoke to area residents Wednesday in his run for the seat currently held by outgoing senator John Warner, attacking his opponent, former governor Mark Warner on the car tax, honesty and his energy policies, but recent polls have shown Mark Warner with a double digit lead, but Gilmore isn't buying the numbers.
"I just think it's too early, people have not really seriously been polled on the senatorial race yet, it's just all old name id and i haven't run statewide for ten years, I think that's what's going on," said Gilmore.
Saying he understands what is concerning Virginians and it's no secret, the economy and gas prices.
"And everywhere we go we're talking to working people and I'm learning quite a bit actually about what people are seeing and feeling out there and what they're distressed about the economics, they're concerned about their households, they're concerned about being able to make ends meet," said Gilmore.
Gilmore says the country needing to rely on domestic resources such as coal, nuclear power, as well as off shore drilling and drilling in ANWR, and despite the democratic elections of Mark Warner, Tim Kaine, and Jim Webb. Gilmore says he still believes the state will vote red come November.
"I still think Virginia is a conservative state but you have to be prepared to address peoples concerns through your conservatism," said Gilmore.
To view more of Gilmore's speech, and find out why the Senate hopeful chose Sam's Kitchen, just view the attached videos.

CTE Faculty Learning Communities for 2014 - 2015
After an open call for proposals, the CTE Faculty Advisory Committee selected one new FLC for fall 2014.
For the FLC starting August 2014, members will be selected after an initial application deadline of August 1; later applications will be considered if space remains.
Please click the link below for the full description of the FLC and the member application.
- The Transformative Potential of Faculty Immersion, facilitated by Delane Bender-Slack (Childhood Education and Literacy) and Diane Ceo-DiFrancesco (Classics and Modern Languages).
- This FLC will include an international immersion travel experience and a year-long discussion on integrating immersion into course content and program goals. Key topics for discussion include connecting immersion to course work (especially providing a continuum of experiences tied to having completed different parts of the core curriculum); the meaning of the preferential option for the poor and of solidarity, technology and emerging media; and the role of reflection in formation and transformation.

10 Beauty Mistakes You're Probably Making
Industry insiders share the most surprising beauty blunders and how to fix them.
By Holly Corbett
Wearing shimmer on your eyes
"Shimmery eye shadows can enhance wrinkles, so it's best to stick to matte products as you get older," says Abdo. Use a base color that goes over your entire lid, such as in a shade like sandstone. "It'll brighten your eyes and even out redness for a flawless look." Also opt for a colored shadow to apply to the crease of your lids to give the illusion that your lids are receding for a more wide-awake look.

SpaceX will try again Friday to launch station cargoApril 16, 2014 12:22 pm | by Marcia Dunn - AP Aerospace Writer - Associated Press | News | Comments
SpaceX is shooting for another launch attempt Friday to deliver supplies to the International Space Station. NASA confirmed the launch date Wednesday, two days after a last-minute rocket leak delayed the mission. Stormy weather, however, is forecast for Friday. Saturday is the backup launch date.
Astronomers: 'Tilt-a-worlds' could harbor lifeApril 15, 2014 3:17 pm | by Peter Kelley, Univ. of Washington | News | Comments
A fluctuating tilt in a planet's orbit does not preclude the possibility of life, according to new research by a team of astronomers. In fact, sometimes it helps because such "tilt-a-worlds," as astronomers sometimes call them, are less likely than fixed-spin planets to freeze over, as heat from their host star is more evenly distributed.
Rocket leak delays space station delivery launchApril 14, 2014 4:21 pm | by Marcia Dunn - AP Aerospace Writer - Associated Press | News | Comments
A space station cargo ship will remain Earthbound for a while longer. With just over an hour remaining, the Space X company called off Monday's planned launch because of a rocket leak. A new launch date was not set; the next opportunity would be Friday. Officials said a helium leak in the first-stage of the unmanned Falcon rocket forced the postponement. The launch already had been delayed a full month for various reasons.
NASA OKs space station visit despite dead computerApril 13, 2014 3:20 pm | by Marcia Dunn - AP Aerospace Writer - Associated Press | News | Comments
NASA is pressing ahead with Monday's planned launch of a supply ship despite a critical computer outage at the International Space Station, promising the situation is safe. Mission managers decided Sunday to proceed with the countdown for the SpaceX capsule, Dragon, already a month late in delivering more than 2 tons of cargo.
Study to measure gravity's effects on plant cells in spaceApril 11, 2014 7:53 am | by Natalie van Hoose, Purdue Univ. | News | Comments
A Purdue Univ. experiment that will test how plant cells sense and respond to different levels of gravity is scheduled to launch aboard the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral, Fla., on Monday (April 14). Understanding how gravity impacts plants is key for determining the conditions necessary to grow plants in space.
Researchers make most precise measurement yet of the expanding universeApril 10, 2014 1:15 pm | by Barbara Kennedy, Penn State | News | Comments
Astronomers at Penn State and other institutions participating in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey have used 140,000 distant quasars to measure the expansion rate of the universe when it was only one-quarter of its present age. This measurement is the best yet of the expansion rate at any epoch in the last 13 billion years during the history of the universe.
Gravity measurements confirm subsurface ocean on EnceladusApril 7, 2014 9:18 am | by Kimm Fesenmaier, Caltech | News | Comments
In 2005, NASA's Cassini spacecraft sent pictures back to Earth depicting an icy Saturnian moon spewing water vapor and ice from fractures, known as "tiger stripes," in its frozen surface. It was big news that tiny Enceladus was such an active place. Since then, scientists have hypothesized that a large reservoir of water lies beneath that icy surface, possibly fueling the plumes.
How Earth got its plated shellApril 7, 2014 9:03 am | by Eric Gershon, Yale Univ. | News | Comments
New Yale Univ.-led research suggests how and when Earth came to develop one of its most distinct features—rigid tectonic plates—and why Venus, Earth's twin-like neighbor, never has. Earth has a unique network of shifting plates embedded in its cold and rocky outermost layer, the lithosphere. The motion of these plates drives many Earth processes, while also stabilizing the planet's climate and enabling life.
Fermi data tantalize with new clues to dark matterApril 4, 2014 9:05 am | by Fermi | News | Comments
A new study of gamma-ray light from the center of our galaxy makes the strongest case to date that some of this emission may arise from dark matter, an unknown substance making up most of the material universe.

Astronomers challenge current cosmological modelApril 3, 2014 9:30 am | by Liverpool John Moores University | News | Comments
Astronomers are challenging the view that the currently preferred cosmological model of the Universe is correct. They are comparing recent measurements of the cosmic background radiation and galaxy clusters in two independent studies.
NASA cuts Russian ties, except on ISSApril 3, 2014 8:36 am | by Associated Press, Alicia Chang | News | Comments
After insisting that space relations wouldn't be altered by earthly politics, NASA announced it was severing ties with Russia except for the International Space Station. NASA employees can't travel to Russia or host visitors until further notice. They're also barred from emailing or holding teleconferences with their Russian counterparts because of Russia's actions in Ukraine, according to a memo sent to workers.
The ringed asteroidMarch 28, 2014 11:51 am | News | Comments
Benefited from a rare occultation on June 3, 2013, researchers observed the asteroid Chariklo when it passed by a star that concealed it for several seconds. Although the astronomer planned only to measure its size, they were surprised to discover this "centaur", which has an unstable orbit that passes through the outer planets, has two thin rings made of ice. It is only the fifth Solar System object to exhibit such a system.
2018 mission: Mars rover prototype unveiled in U.K.March 28, 2014 8:34 am | by Gregory Katz, Associated Press | News | Comments
The European Mars rover unveiled Thursday at a "Mars Yard" testing ground in Britain is designed to drill beneath the surface of the Red Planet searching for signs of life. It's been dubbed "Bryan" by its creators, and the plan is to send it to Mars in 2018 as part of the European Space Agency's ExoMars program, an ambitious plan that begins in 2016 with the launch of a Mars orbiter and demonstrator landing module.
Newfound pink world lurks at solar system fringesMarch 27, 2014 9:30 am | by Alicia Chang, AP Science Writer | News | Comments
Until now, the lone known resident in the region of the solar system beyond Pluto was an oddball dwarf planet spotted in 2003 named Sedna. For years, astronomers hunted in vain for other Sednas in the little-studied fringes of the solar system. Now, they've found one: a pink frozen world 7.5 billion miles from the sun. And astronomer think they will find others.
NIST gives astronomers better ruler in search for extrasolar planetsMarch 26, 2014 2:14 pm | News | Comments
As a planet orbits, its gravity makes its parent star wobble a tiny bit, resulting in slight color changes in the star's light due to the Doppler effect. A high-quality reference spectrum allows scientists to make a comparison to find planets. Now, NIST has made extensive new measurements of thorium, a heavy element often used in emission lamps that help provide that fixed ruler. The work has more than doubled the number of spectral lines.
Dramatic new portrait helps define Milky Way's shape, contentsMarch 21, 2014 8:22 am | by Terry Devitt, Univ. of Wisconsin-Madison | News | Comments

NASA launches new research on twins, seeking the subtle in parallel waysMarch 9, 2014 11:47 pm | News | Comments
Although NASA's Human Research Program has been researching the effects of spaceflight on the human body for decades, the March 7 announcement of 10 investigations for the study of identical twin astronauts Scott and Mark Kelly will provide a broader insight into the subtle effects and changes that may occur in spaceflight as compared to Earth-based environments.
Survey finds thousands of new stars, but no "Planet X"March 7, 2014 2:02 pm | News | Comments
Researchers have theorized about the existence of this large, but unseen celestial body, suspected to lie somewhere beyond the orbit of Pluto. After searching hundreds of millions of objects across our sky, NASA's Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) has turned up no evidence of the commonly dubbed "Planet X."
Galactic gas stationsMarch 7, 2014 1:31 pm | by Jennifer Chu, MIT News Office | News | Comments
Future lunar missions may be fueled by gas stations in space, according to Massachusetts Institute of Technology engineers: A spacecraft might dock at a propellant depot, somewhere between the Earth and the moon, and pick up extra rocket fuel before making its way to the lunar surface.
A river of plasma, guarding against the sunMarch 7, 2014 7:39 am | by Jennifer Chu, MIT News Office | News | Comments
The Earth's magnetic field, or magnetosphere, stretches from the planet's core out into space, where it meets the solar wind, a stream of charged particles emitted by the sun. For the most part, the magnetosphere acts as a shield to protect the Earth from this high-energy solar activity. But when this field comes into contact with the sun's magnetic field, powerful electrical currents from the sun can stream into Earth's atmosphere.
NASA plots daring flight to Jupiter's watery moonMarch 5, 2014 10:07 am | by Seth Borenstein, AP Science Writer | News | Comments
The U.S. space agency is planning an ambitious robotic mission to Europa, a Jupiter moon where astronomers speculate there might be some form of life. The space agency set aside $15 million in its 2015 budget proposal to start planning some kind of mission to Europa. No details have been decided yet, but NASA chief financial officer Elizabeth Robinson said Tuesday that it would be launched in the mid-2020s.
Bright pulses of light could make space veggies more nutritiousMarch 5, 2014 9:48 am | News | Comments
One of the concerns for astronauts during future extended spaceflights will be the onslaught of eye-damaging radiation, and plants that contain carotenoids would help mitigate that harm. According to a new study by researchers at the Univ. of Colorado Boulder, exposing leafy vegetables grown during spaceflight to a few bright pulses of light daily could increase the amount of eye-protecting nutrients produced by the plants.
