Broughton invite set for Saturday
Jon Anderson figures to be one of the boys' favorites at Saturday's 10 a.m. Elizabeth S. Broughton Memorial Invitational at the Broughton Nature & Wildlife Area in Marietta.
If the Fort Frye senior All-Sate cross country runner does cross the 5k finish line first, he'll join older brothers' Jeremy and Jordan as winners of the event. Jeremy Anderson won it in 2009, while Jordan Anderson did the same last year.
As of Monday, the Marietta High-hosted Broughton invite had 11 schools entered in the race (up three from last year), including defending varsity boys' champion Warren, Fort Fyre, Caldwell, Meadowbrook, and Waterford of Ohio, and Elkins, Williamstown, Linsly, Ravenswood and Magnolia of West Virginia.
"We still have three days before entries are closed, and we should see Belpre, New Lex, Eastern and perhaps Federal Hocking," said veteran MHS cross country coach Dale Leeper. And we always seem to have a surprise entry or two."
So far, Logan of the Southeastern Ohio Athletic League (SEOAL), the defending varsity girls' champion, was not entered.
"Entered runners as of today (Aug. 18) are at about 185 for high school and 160 for middle school," Leeper contined. "We should be close to 400 when entries close, if not over.
"When we started this meet 15 years ago, it was one of only a few on this date in both Ohio and West Virginia. As cross has grown, it is now one of 28 meets in Ohio alone scheduled for Saturday. So we're glad to have the quality and quantity of entered schools. Southeast Ohio and north central West Virginia both have many state level teams year in and year out, so we're looking forward to very competitive races."
Last year, Jon Anderson didn't even toe the Broughton starting line due to an early-season knee injury. He didn't run his first race until late September.
"Jon has come back great," said first-year Fort Frye cross country coach Jason Lipot. "He's stronger and determined. His goal is to win at state."
Anderson is way ahead of last year with one race already under his belt. Last Saturday, he placed seventh in a time of 17 minutes, 22.05 second at the OHSAA Early Season Invitational at National Trail Raceway in Hebron.
He can run faster as he covered the same course at the 2013 state meet in an all-state clocking of 16:10.38.
Anderson is expected to be joined by FFHS running mates' Ford McElroy, Owen Young, Liam Thompson, and Raymond Cooper. The Cadet boys' team was ranked No. 19 in the OATCCC Division III cross country preseason poll.
"We lost a lot from last year," Lipot said. "But it's a long season, and we want to be able to peak when it's time to peak."
During the race, Anderson should have plenty of competition from Warren state qualifier Sam Goodman and Brent Ash, who finished fifth and sixth, respectively, in last year's run. If Belpre enters the competition, freshman Keller Windland and Cray Sistrunk, a 2013 runner-up at Broughton, will also be in the hunt.
Look for Caldwell's Tanner Harding to be in the mix as well. As a team, the Dugan Hill-coached Redskins were ranked No. 17 in the OATCCC D3 cross country preseason poll.
Marietta will be paced by Jake Haught, an Ohio Division I district honoree, Kody Phillips, Connor Brack, Jeff Davis, and Cameron Barnhouse.
Don't count out any of the W.Va. schools, either. The boys' winner could also be on one of those teams.
On the girls' side, Fort Frye state qualifer Mary Kate McElroy might be the one to beat. A year ago, as a freshman, she finished fourth at Broughton in 21:25.10.
Last Saturday, McElroy was first in a clocking of 20:36 at the Early Season invite.
McElroy will be joined by teammates' Katelin Hart, Reagan Skinner, Jessi Callihan and Natalie Hart.
In the lead pack, some others to look for will be Caldwell's Katie Saling and Lindsey Furr, the younger sister of last year's winner Jenna Furr, and Warren's Hannah Dugan.
Again, the girls' winner could be on one of the W.Va. squads.
The Lady Warriors will also be paced by senior Sydney Brague, the daughter of first-year head XC coach Neil Brague.
MHS will be led by seniors' Olivia Wesel, Emma Martin and Brittany Deskins. The Lady Tigers' top runner may be sophomore Kelsey Hall, a 2013 all-district honoree.
"Our high school girls and boys teams are very different from last year's squads," Leeper said. "So, we're not quite sure what to expect. Our girls team had a very solid group of ninth graders last year, and most return with a year of experience. Our boys team experienced a surge from Middle School last year, with 11 new ninth graders this year. We expect them to make a little noise."
"As much as we'd like to do well at our home meet, with both teams being fairly young, we've made the decision to focus on the ECOL (East Central Ohio League) and tournament competition, so we will be going into the Broughton Invitational with a pretty heavy early season training load. But the great thing about athletics is that we really have no idea how any contest will turn out."

Material seems a little cheaper than I expected but over all good purchase
love them been waiting for something special and I just love the kitchens.. because my kitchen is white ceiling, walls and cupboards but my counter tops are flimatic black
I bought these for my kitchen... It is black and stainless steel and red accents. These match beautifully and the quality is great! I highly recommend these in a modern kitchen.
Touch of class was one of the few places I could find tiers. Good quality, timely delivery.
I am enjoying the curtains very much. They look very pretty and add a special charm to the kitchen and the house. Of course, I love brown!! Highly recommend them!!
Like everything about them.
We bought them because curtains to fit our windows are hard to find, and you had just what we needed.
These are absolutely adorable. I bought them for my bay window.couldn't be happier.
these are nice curtains, these are very nice swags. just wish that they were a litle longer. they are 30". in the past my swags were 34 to 36 inches.
nice fall look - well made product - definitely met expectations
I am very very pleased with these kitchen curtains. They are every bit what I had wanted. The color (chocolate) matches my floor and countertops perfectly! Service was excellent and I got them in less than a week.
I was looking for curtains with a sophisticated look. I didn't want flowers, roosters, etc. These curtains are beautiful, I did iron with spray starch before hanging but that's just me, I like the crisp look.
It went with my kitchen colors.
These tiers and the matching valance met the requirements I had for a kitchen curtain - not too busy design and some opaqueness so I wouldn't have to keep the blinds closed all the time.

Religion, Politics and Paul Ryan's Budget
Posted on Aug 27, 2012
In the latest episode of "Moyers & Company," Bill Moyers talks to Sister Simone Campbell of the Catholic policy and lobbying group NETWORK, and Robert Royal, founder and president of the Faith and Reason Institute, about economic inequality in this country and Paul Ryan's budget blueprint.
Campbell and other nuns made headlines in the weeks before Ryan was selected to be Mitt Romney's running mate for protesting the Wisconsin congressman's budget plan, which had just been passed by the Republican-controlled House.

pat has been visiting colorado
The corruption by corporate and oligarch money is influencing our elections, no matter how much the right wing and their media (Murdoch's empire, Rushbo, Beck, et al) deny it. The only push-back is from Union donations, and that's why Republican-controlled states are doing what they can to attack unions (besides their zeal for tax cuts for the wealthy, anti-abortion, and vote suppression bills).
They are entrenching themselves with legislation, and are protected from scrutiny by Murdoch-style press and a cadre of lawyers attacking those who oppose them – all being fed from infusions of massive amounts of money from undisclosed donors.
And some of the right wing commenters, blinded by hatred (of Obama, of "liberals", of "takers" – you name it) on these pages have no idea how much they are facilitating that takeover by the oligarchs.
rocky mountain high
I am neither blue, nor red, so I don't have a dog in this fight, but I would point out that there is a huge amount of money on the left, too. Soros has found plenty of ways to "invest" in elections. During the recall elections in Colorado, Bloomberg (he is more left than right) and his cronies outspent the right by more than 6 to 1 – yet it didn't help them win.
Both sides spend money on their favorite causes, and given that it doesn't always help them win, I'd say that the electorate understands this well.
Well the Cons need somebody to tell them how big money wants them to vote.
No, this is not really the case. Both sides spend money, this is true. But the GOP has the advantage of a gigantic, organized propaganda machine working for it called FoxNews, which consistently pumps out shameless propaganda and misleading or actively false information on behalf of a political agenda. The left has nothing comparable, and certainly nothing with comparable ratings or dominance of broadcast areas. And given that FoxNews watchers are the least well-informed Americans, this insulates them from making thoughtful decisions.
Furthermore, it was the GOP that first mobilized corporate monies on their behalf, and they're still ahead of the Democrats on that score — not that that is a good thing; in practice both sides are controlled by big business. That's why the GOP hated Clinton so much — he took their best funding trick!
so motivemagus it is fox vs msbc +cbs +cnn// it is Koch vs soros +Hollywood // this will be entertaining
Soros has found plenty of ways to "invest" in elections
And he's been straightforward about it, isn't he? And who is demonizing him? FOX News and the right wing media. Koch, Inc., spreads their money secretly amongst various PACs and organizations so it is difficult to trace back to them. And there are far more right-wing billionaires and corporate entities (and foreigners) funneling the money in.
And who told you to demonize Soros? FOX?
Are you an American? You have a dog in this fight. Arguing that the parties are equivalent is specious. The only thing that would support it is that too many Democrats act like Republicans (including Obama), which can lead you to think that, but Elizabeth Warren is worlds apart from Darrell Issa. that's the comparison you should make, not Obama vs. Boehner or some such nonsense.
I think it's a reference to the fact that you can smoke weed here legally. Not that it makes me proud. It's silly, except that it keeps a lot of people out jail and thus causes less heartache and expense for citizens and the Colorado government. That works for me.
The Koch brothers daddy was one of the moneybags who helped put Hitler in power. The apple does not fall far from the tree.
And…what's good for General Bullmoose, is good for the U.S.A.
no bernardgarner that was kennedy's father// fred did have dealing with stalin who he came to despise [while the USA lib estab was praising him
Manufactured outrage. On the biggest donor list Kochs come in at #59. And to the comment that there isn't a left version of Fox News, are you serious? MSNBC?!
So what about George Soros ??? Dems also have their cash cows as well.

While independents aren't immune to the issues plaguing chains in today's restaurant climate, these top concepts are managing to jump the business hurdles to keep both staff and guests satisfied.
The Top 100 is ranked by sales, but the list measures success. These operators never say they know a "secret" to success, but why do they perform so well?
With Taco Cabana's parent reportedly attracting interest from private equity, here's a look at other fast-casual taco brands seeing investments from such firms.
Even the indies holding strong on our current Top 100 ranking are feeling battered, showing that no operator can rest on their laurels in today's tumultuous times.
The evidence is irrefutable: After a decent start to the year, restaurants are having a tough time luring customers and getting them to spend.
For a clear snapshot of the restaurant brands that have their sights set on global expansion, here's an exploration of the top 25 fastest-growing chains in the world.
Regional concepts can expand their customer base by shipping signature foods nationwide. But logistics such as weather, quality control and the expense of packaging pose a high barrier to entry. It...

Self entitled book all about the catwalk
NEW YORK -- (AP) -- Each runway show is a chapter in Anna Sui's life. It's a commentary on her interests, passions and mindset of the moment. Now each runway show is also a chapter in a new book, which, she says, is an autobiography in pictures. Seeing it all together, Sui notices some commonalities -- especially the influence of rock 'n' roll -- and some aberrations -- like the joint surfer-hip hop moment -- but it all makes her feel both humbled and proud. "All I ever wanted to do was design clothes for rock stars and people who go to rock concerts. That I've been able to do that for so long is pretty amazing," Sui told the AP.
It's also pretty amazing that Sui can define the single moment her career took off in 1990: Madonna, on her way to a Jean Paul Gaultier fashion show in Paris, wore one of Sui's dresses. She could have chosen any one of the hundreds of designer frocks littering her hotel room, but the pop star-fashion diva picked hers. "It was the first in a chain of events that gave me the confidence to stage my own fashion show," Sui writes in the forward of Anna Sui, published by Chronicle.


text: Vanemuine is Estonia's oldest theatre and the only one of its kind in the country to work in three genres in three different buildings — its grand building, its historical small building and the black box- type Harbour Theatre on the banks of the Emajõgi River. The Vanemuine stages productions from opera to classical drama, musicals to children's shows, and contemporary ballet to symphonic concerts. Its repertoire includes around forty performances in different genres. The season lasts from September to May, although the summer projects the theatre is involved in means it plays to audiences virtually all year round.

Every December I am fortunate enough to be asked to participate in various roundtable (ish) panels. The way they work is that a word document goes out and we are asked weigh in on a multitude of topics. One of them is due in a couple of days so I thought I would answer one of the questions for today's blog post.
Where are the real growth stories overseas right now?
I would turn this one around a little bit based on the current reality of the investment world. Before figuring out the "growth stories overseas" it is crucial to understand which countries are facing systemic threats that far exceed the threats posed by normal economic and stock market cycles.
For example, the Bovespa is down 15% YTD as of this writing, up from what was a 25% decline. In looking at the totality of the story it is clear that the country is not wading through different forms of desperate and unprecedented action to try to restore something (growth, jobs, housing market, etc). Brazil has had ups and downs and of course that will continue but the nature of the threats are nowhere near what they are in the US, Europe and Japan, not even remotely similar.
We look out longer than one year in building an investment thesis. Part of the country selection process we prefer is, among other things, owning countries where there is a middle class ascendance. The idea here is that the demand for access to (relative) middle class lifestyles is very consistent. This means electricity, potable water, cable TV, telephones (probably wireless), better roads, cars, higher quality personal goods and so on--in short, their perception of an American lifestyle.
The demand is a one way trade but of course the stocks will not be. The demand does create a long term tailwind that is a valid investment thesis. Although not the only form of country selection we use, this is one, and countries we like and own in this context are Brazil, Chile, Colombia and China (by virtue of China's weight in two thematic ETFs).
The process for possibly adding more countries in this context is ongoing. I've written many times on my blog about learning about countries and following them for quite a while before buying in; this was the case with Colombia and will be the case with other countries we add in to the portfolio in the future.

djptexas Review
This rug is beautiful. Dark Grey with Light Grey stripes and the flowers are sort of a lighter grey/taupe. Absolutely stunning. Need a large room. Have it in a room with a charcoal gray sectional, small black dining table and chairs and a black grand piano and it is striking. Bought the round rug, with the identical pattern, to place under the dining table - wish it were a little larger (it's 6ft. round) but the two together are awesome. Was going to put a table in front of the sectional, but may not since I hate to cover up too much of the rug.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? perfect
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. great quality

My gods. It just gets earlier every year.
Oh, not the stores. I gave up on those years ago. Samhain stuff going up? Must be September.
What's next? Jack o' lanterns at Lunasa?
Oh, well. In its own way, commerce helps turn the Wheel.
But at home? Folks, we're not even out of the Harvest thirtnight yet. Isn't it a little early for orange lights and skeletons?
Don't get me wrong; I love Samhain as much as the next guy.
But then—let's remember—comes Winter.
And for that, quite frankly, I can wait.

February 7, 2012 BY John Kim / 5
While the LeBron 9 and KD IV installments of the Nike Basketball Black History Month Collection feature the African-inspired print on the insoles and on select portions of the shoe, the Kobe VII shows no reserve as the colorful print is used on the entire upper, inner lining, and outsole. The detailed artwork serves as the anchor for this year's BHM Collection, and now that we've seen detailed angles of all included, which of the three do you like best? If you prefer the 'louder' varieties of sneakers, the Kobe VII should easily get your vote. Check out these new angles of the Nike Zoom Kobe VII 'BHM' below and if you want to secure your pair prior to this Saturday's release date, cop a pair now from limitedshoes on eBay.

Five Most Common Questions About Hard Money Loans
15 Aug 2012 | No Comments | posted by Corey Curwick Dutton | in Hard Money
The 5 Most Common Questions About Hard Money Loans
For those who have never obtained a hard money loan, there are typically a lot of questions. Here are some of the most commons questions and answers about private and hard money loans:
1. What exactly IS a hard money and or private money loan? – A hard money or private money loan is a non-bank loan. Whether the source of the loan is a private individual, a fund, or an insurance company, a hard money or private money loan is any loan that comes from a non-bank source. Interest rates charged are typically higher than a bank loan, and loan terms are much shorter. One can expect to pay between 7% to 18% interest, and the loan term offered is between 90 days to 2 years.
2. Do some hard money lenders offer longer loan terms such as a 15, 20, or 30 year mortgage? -Typically a hard money / private money lender will provide a loan for a term of 90 days up to 5 years. Most hard money loans are made on a short-term basis. It is very rare to find a hard money or private money lender that will offer a loan term for longer than 5 years, however there are some exceptions.
3. Will a hard money lender give me 100% of the purchase price like the old days of hard money lending? – Before 2007, it was common to find hard money loans that would give you 100% of the purchase price of a piece of real estate. Since the real estate crash however, most hard money lenders will only give you a loan for a percentage of the purchase price. And these days, more emphasis is placed on the borrower's ability to bring in a significant down payment. With most hard money loans, be prepared to bring in between 10% to as high as 50% on some real estate.
4. What if I have a bankruptcy, short sale, or a foreclosure on my credit? Can I still get a hard money loan? – Although there are some hard money lenders that will not make a loan to you under these credit-based circumstances, there are many that are still willing to make you a loan even if you have these types of marks on your credit report.
5. What kind of collateral can be used for a hard money loan? – Although most hard money lenders only use real property as collateral (real estate), there are some hard money lenders who will use jewelry, recreational vehicles, and other types of collateral to make a loan. However, it is difficult to find hard money and private money lenders that will accept such collateral. Most hard money lenders want to use real estate as the collateral for the loan.
What are some other questions you have regarding hard money loans?
How Many Real Estate Deals Have You Completed This Year?
2 Aug 2012 | No Comments | posted by Corey Curwick Dutton | in Hard Money
Many of our real estate investors have commented recently that they were busier in 2010 and 2011 than in 2012. For example, one of our most active investors told me recently that he successfully completed 10 deals in 2010 and in 2011 was able to complete 15. "This is excellent," I said. But then he told me that in 2012, year to date, he's only successfully completed 3 deals, with one deal currently in the works.
"So, what's going on?" I asked him.
"There are many factors," he explained. Some of the more obvious factors are of course the slowing down of the release of inventory coupled with a splurge of new buyers entering the market because of low interest rates. "The big wave is over," he flatly told me.
But what about the recent announcements that some of the larger banks will be releasing some new inventory in the last quarter of 2012? No one has a crystal ball, and of course, no one really knows what plans the banks have. We will just all have to wait and see how the rest of this year unfolds.
But for now, I'm curious to hear from some other real estate investors out there. How many real estate deals have you successfully completed this year? Was it less than in 2010 and 2011? Please share.
Bank Loans Still Hard to Get For Commercial Real Estate Investors
18 Jul 2012 | 1 Comment | posted by Corey Curwick Dutton | in Hard Money
Jennifer Bradshaw and her husband own a successful bridal shop in Salt Lake City, Utah. The business is thriving in it's 6th year and it is cash flowing. Both Jennifer and her husband have stellar credit and good cash reserves. There's a small amount of debt on the commercial building they own and run their bridal business out of, around 50% LTV. They are due to refinance the commercial loan on the building and are unable to refinance. The bank that has the loan currently, wants it off their balance sheet. Another bank just declined the loan for the sole reason that they don't feel comfortable with the property being a single tenant building.
I hear a story just about everyday about a borrower with incredible credit and assets who has been declined for a commercial loan at the bank. With the exception of smaller, local banks that are lending on commercial properties under $1 MM, it is still tough for most borrowers to qualify for commercial loans in the current market. For Multifamily and Assisted Living properties, FHA financing is out there for properties and borrowers that qualify, but can take up to 9 months to complete the loan process and close. Many commercial real estate investors have had to turn to hard money and private money lenders to bridge the acquisitions of such properties.
Many of the larger banks are trying to raise capital and this means deleveraging their commercial assets from their balance sheets. The five year, commercial loans that were written in 2006 or 2007 are coming due, and many banks are telling borrowers to go to another bank for the refinance. Not only have values declined, but occupancy of these same commercial properties has also taken a nosedive in some cases as well.
Because commercial real estate is the backbone of business in this Country, commercial lending is crucial. With commercial bank loans in scarce supply, without the availability of private and hard money lenders to provide bridge loans during these tight times, many commercial real estate investors would have no other options.
Success Story: Retired Lady in Salt Lake City Rehabs and Sells Her First Investment Property
7 Jul 2012 | 1 Comment | posted by Corey Curwick Dutton | in Blog, Success
When she first came to me with an investment property she wanted fix up and sell, Doreen Harlsway of Salt Lake City, now retired and 71 years young, had just completed an expensive training course on real estate investing. At first I eyed her with skepticism of course, wondering if she thought this was going to be an easy ride.
She was buying in a neighborhood in Salt Lake City, Utah called "Sugarhouse," that scores big points the B to C buyers. Her ARV was $145K and she was buying at $94,000. Rehab was $9K. Her partner in the deal was to oversee all of the rehab. The comps for the ARV checked out, as I know this area well, so I was intrigued by the deal. I met with Doreen and her partner, and they seemed like they had the best intentions and the right answers to my questions.
Well, the retired lady Doreen, was nervous as a hen nearly every day after the purchase closed on the house. She had a big chunk of her retirement cash locked up on the deal. But luckily, her partner made sure the rehab was completed in a little over 3 weeks and the property was listed this Spring for $150K. Spring flowers blooming on the little sidewalk out front, and the grass already full and green, Doreen accepted an offer for $145K with only 16 days on the market!!
Doreen has since paid us off, and now she's celebrating big time. She's a lot better off on her retirement nest egg on this one, little real estate deal. This is what I call a success story. Congrats Doreen!! She could not have qualified for a traditional bank loan to do this. We provided her with a real estate loan or private money loan, to make the deal happen.

"I have to think about it. My mind is not clear yet,'' Quezada said through a translator at New Jersey Lottery headquarters. But he said he will help his family and have some fun.
"I'm just going to have a little spin around."
The 44-year-old, who has put in long hours at the family's bodega in Passaic, N.J., said he has also not decided whether to stay in New Jersey or move to his native the Dominican Republic, which he left at age 19.
But Quezada said he has already decided to buy a new car.
What kind does he drive now?
"My feet,'' he said.
Flanked by his wife, children and other family members, Quezada declined to answer reporters' questions about the difficulties he has faced as an immigrant and small business owner.
"I don't want to speak about it because my life has changed,'' he said when asked about a 2009 fire in his bodega.
He declined to say how much he made each year at his store.
"These millions of dollars have erased whatever I made before,'' he said.
The jackpot was the fourth largest prize in Powerball history.
Quezada said he played the lottery two or three times a week at Eagle Liquor, on Passaic Street, because it was located between his home and his store.
When he walked into Eagle Liquor with his Powerball ticket Monday, he did not know he had won the jackpot, he said at Tuesday's press conference.
"I had no idea I was a winner,'' he said. "When I saw the commotion outside, I thought maybe this was the store that sold the winning ticket.''
Quezada answered reporters' questions in Spanish. His responses were translated by Jennifer Rodriguez, a security guard for the lottery.
He said he already has a financial plan worked out, but he does not know whether he will take the prize as a lump-sum or an annuity paid out over time. The lottery doesn't provide financial planning or other services.
If the he chooses the lump sum, it will be worth $US211 million - about $US152 million after state and federal taxes, lottery executive director Carole Hedinger said at a press conference Monday.

Someone with $322 mil could (if they want to) become a philantropist to a degree, which to me is a way better option than distributing 30 or so $10mill prizes to those that would only spend on a few houses, holidays, and ferrari's and other exotic cars they dont know how to drive.
Ben Posted at 12:43 PM March 27, 2013
Mac Howard: Do you understand how lotteries work? If 30 or so people picked the same numbers, that $322m would have been distributed evenly between them. But only one person picked the numbers. It's rather simple.
Rod of Perth Posted at 12:34 PM March 27, 2013
Guaranteed we'll see a story about him in 5 to 10 years about his riches to rags story and how he lost the lot. With no money now and no money skills HE WILL LOSE THE LOT with dubious business deals, giving money to rellies and "friends" coming out of the woodwork. He should have stayed anonymous, put the money in a good interest bearing account and lived of the $10M pa he would get for the rest of his life.

Eighteen-year-old Sean Murphy of Boston has pleaded not guilty to a rape charge filed after concertgoers told police they saw a possible assault on the lawn at the Xfinity Center in Mansfield. Bystanders captured the scene on cellphone cameras.
Murphy says the incident was consensual. The alleged victim told a bystander who intervened that she hadn't consented.
Urban made the statement in a Thursday Facebook posting, adding: "our hearts and prayers go out to all those affected. This type of behavior stands in stark contrast to the spirit of our shows."

This project involves observing asteroids that are known and ones which have uncertain orbits and are in need of confirmation.
Image easy-to-find asteroids and see their motion against the starry background.
Asteroids are awkward, they don't stay in one place! Before your observing session check what asteroids are visible using the Asteroid Portal planner and download Astrometrica as described in the How to articles listed above.
Asteroids, also known as Minor Planets or Planetoids, are a class of astronomical object generally used to describe a diverse group of small bodies that drift around the Solar System in orbit around the Sun. A near-Earth object (NEO) is a Solar System object whose orbit brings it into close proximity with the Earth. All NEOs have a closest approach to the Sun (perihelion) of less than 1.3 AU.They include a few thousand near-Earth asteroids (NEAs), near-Earth comets, a number of solar-orbiting spacecraft, and meteoroids large enough to be tracked in space before striking the Earth.
It is thought that asteroids are the remnants of the protoplanetary disc that formed around the Sun when the Solar System was first created. Most of the small bodies came together and formed the inner, rocky planets that we see today. The rest however, remain in space as rocky debris or space junk. There are different types of asteroid out there, depending on where they are found in the Solar System, these groups include the Trojans, Greeks and Hildas (this last group is particularly strange as they have triangular orbits around the Sun).
Hundreds of thousands of asteroids have so far been discovered and the present rate is currently about 5000 per month! The largest known asteroid has a diameter of around 950 km (compare that to the one scientists believe destroyed Dinosaurs which was a measly 10 km)! The mass of the Asteroid Belt (the dense belt of asteroids between Mars and Jupiter) is equal to about 4% of the mass of our Moon. So asteroids make up a significant proportion of our Solar System and are very important objects.
In recent years, the interest in identifying asteroids has grown quite considerably - many asteroids have been found with Earth-crossing orbits that, given enough time, could collide with Earth.
The procedure for finding new asteroids is fairly straightforward. Any body in orbit around the Sun will appear to move slightly between two observing frames taken a time apart against the starry background (which does not move). This is what you will learn to do during this project.
For practice, or if you do not have observing time, you can do this activity with one of our example data sets. If you have a computer with Windows and if you plan to use a telescope to observe an asteroid or NEO, you will need to use Astrometrica so that you can report your results to the minor planet center. If you do not have access to a computer with Windows, or if you will only be doing this activity with sample data, you can use DS9, which is available for Windows, Mac and Linux.
You can use one of these example data sets:
Or you can search LCO's database for asteroids or NEOs that have been observed in the past. Go to Advanced Search and in the section, "Search by category of object" choose "Interplanetary bodies." You can narrow your search further if you want an asteroid that was observed at a certain time, or if you know the name of an asteroid you would like data for. You will need at least two images and preferably three or four.
Once you have downloaded some asteroid images you can open Astrometrica or DS9 and search for your asteroid.
