Not your grandmother's Bible thumpin'.
Ina Garrett, a 64-year-old Southern Baptist woman, has been charged with assault for, admittedly, smacking her pastor in the head with a Bible. Even more shocking is that the Rev. Leon Taylor, of the 30-member Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Selmar, Tenn., then allegedly took a swing at Garrett.
It appears that Garrett had been voted out of the church after involving herself in an effort to have Taylor removed as pastor because "he's got the demon in him."
The Smoking Gun has the criminal complaint. Thanks to Torch for the video link.

Keeping It Real: Eric Eason and Franky G Talk About "Manito"
by Brandon Judell
From Sundance to Tribeca, "Manito" has been keeping both critics and audiences enthralled. Besides garnering prizes at the latter two fests, honors have been flooding in from the Independent Spirit Awards, the Gotham Awards, the SXSW Film Festival, and Urbanworld.
Along with "Raising Victor Vargas," this slice-of-life bodega-drama is proving there's a whole new subject area to probe in the United States, one that everyone can relate to: Latino neighborhoods. That both these films have white directors might, depending on whom you're speaking to, have some relevance or none at all.
"Manito" star Franky G. feels a helmer's ethnicity isn't worth a darn if he's good. And why should he? Director/writer Eric Eason has made Franky into a hot property. Mr. G. has, since "Manito"'s Sundance debut, appeared in "Confidence," "The Italian Job," and the upcoming John Holmes tale of woe, "Wonderland."
Mr. Eason is, meanwhile, getting his next screenplay together now that his picture has finally gotten a distributor, Film Movement (www.filmmovement.com). (The film will open theatrically Friday and also be available to members of Film Movement's subscription service for DVD lovers).
To explore the two gents pre-New-York-opening frame of minds, I chatted with them one-at-a-time at Jimmy's Downtown on East 57th Street the other day. It was afternoon and the kitchen was closed, so no coffee. First up in the back dining room was the hyper, muscular Franky G.
indieWIRE: So have you switched apartments since you've become a film star?
Franky G: Have I switched apartments? No, not yet. I keep it real. I still live out in Flushing [Queens]. My mom, my sister, and my little nephew live there. The joy is in just doing these films. Just helping my mom out, and my family, even though they do well for themselves, my sister and my brothers. Just seeing the smiles on their faces is enough. I'm going to get my own stuff. I'm going to buy them the house, and then I'll move on from there. But I just like to keep it real where I come from and stuff like that. It's like people can look at me and go, "Awwwww! Aaaaaaaaaaay!" But as long as I bring a smile to my mom, I'm happy.
iW: I expect some people would see this film, recognize themselves, and tear up.
Franky G: Yeah. It was very emotional for me, too. In one scene, I literally just kept crying. Eric had to stop: "Take a minute!" Because I couldn't stop.
iW: Your crying scene in the film was amazing.
Franky G: Thank you. Thank you. Because I felt it. I felt it. I felt his pain. I thought of my family in a sense. Like my little brother when I was growing up, when I was living out in Williamsburg. And I thought of my friend who went through something similar to that. So all that just came together. It just hit home. Because when I read the scripts, any script, I fantasize a lot about it. And I like to get into that mind of the script: the character that I'm playing and the whole aspect. That's the joy of it, man. I love it.
iW: Now all the films you've made after Manito have been studio films.
Franky G: Big time, right.
iW: You're not priced out of indies?
Franky G: (Laughs) I'm not priced out of what?
iW: Are any indie directors coming to you or have you given up on indies?
Franky G: If there's any good ones, I would do it.
iW: So you might lower your asking price for the right indie?
Franky G: Well, depending on what my agent says, you know what I mean. It depends on what they say. If they like it, then maybe we can negotiate something. But if I'm going to be up there on the big range, it depends. It depends what my agents think of what's good for me. If I see a script, it could be [between] a $100 million movie and a $10 million dollar movie, and the $10 million movie is a fantastic movie, then I want to do it. The $100 million movie I can always do later on. Do you know what I mean? The action films and whatever. The $40-50 million dollar movies. You want to show longevity. You want to show what you can do. You want to show you're not just an action star. You're an actor. An actor, period. So that's what I look at.
iW: So growing up, what actors did you want to emulate? Did you see "Taxi Driver"?
Franky G: Oh, yeah!
iW: Did you imagine yourself as Robert De Niro?
Franky G: (Laughs) A lot come to mind. I like Marlon Brando. I like Katharine Hepburn. I like Spencer Tracy. I like Dustin Hoffman, with whom I worked [on "Confidence."] He's like my biggest [role model]. I like Benicio Del Toro. I admire him a lot. He was great in "Traffic," he got an Oscar for it. I spoke to him. In L.A., we ran into each other. I look up to him a lot. I'd love to do a film with him. I also admire Robert De Niro. He keeps it low profile. He lives in New York. Minimal interviewing and that's what I like. I think of just doing good movies. The press and the other things I know come with the territory but sometimes you just like to lay back. You know what I mean. And that's how I am.
...Franky exits and director Eric Eason enters. And Mr. Eason? Is he also laid back? On first glance, he appeared pleasant, a little nervous and restrained, or maybe it was just by comparison to Franky...
iW: When you won the award at Tribeca, did you meet DeNiro?
Eric Eason: I met all those people. I shook hands. That night everyone was there from Scorsese to De Niro and all those people. But it was more like a whirlwind shake-fest.
iW: One would think Scorsese especially would be enthused over "Manito" if he saw it.
Eason: Yeah, you would think. There's definitely a lot of parallels to what he was doing early on in his career to what the story of what "Manito" is.
iW: In fact, Variety wrote of "Manito": "An electrifying feature debut that merits comparison to its spiritual granddaddy 'Mean Streets.'" How do you react to that?
Eason: "Mean Streets" is definitely a masterpiece, but "Manito" probably has its roots more in something like the Italian neorealistic "The Bicycle Thief" and those sort of really heavy kind of melodramatic cinema verite works, such as the works of Italian neorealists like DeSica and Rossellini's stuff. Scorsese's... I think the remark is there because of the neighborhood, Little Italy to uptown.
iW: Now what about your distribution. You're hooked up with sort of a new enterprise, Film Movement.
Eason: What we're excited about is that they're committed to do this theatrical release for the entire year and rolling it out to more theaters. A lot of distribution deals that we looked at were going to be really traditional where they would open in New York and L.A. for a couple of weeks or a week and see how the numbers were. What Film Movement was saying was, "Well, look. Let's not do that. Let's open in seven cities, and then after these seven cities, let's go out to nine more and keep playing secondary and tertiary markets around the country. Then at end of a year, we're going to have a really respectable box office because we're not going to do a million dollars the first weekend, but we're going to try to steadily pad the numbers."
iW: Do you read the reviews of "Manito" at all?
Eason: Oh, yeah. Sure. You'd be crazy not to, only because sometimes it's great to hear what someone doesn't like about it. You definitely learn.
iW: Franky G. said he doesn't read the reviews because he doesn't want his head to swell. You'd like your head to swell.
Eason: Exactly. When you've been on the margins for so long and you've just dreamed about sort of making your first feature, you don't even care if it's a bad review. You just want to read [about it]. Having it be in print sort of validates that it wasn't a dream. That you actually made it.
iW: Now with your next film, is a studio already involved?
Eason: Not yet. It's being produced by Richard Gladstein. He produced "The Cider House Rules" and he was an executive on "Pulp Fiction" and "Jackie Brown" and "Reservoir Dogs." So he's the producer on it.
iW: So you're his next wunderkind.
Eason: (Chuckles) I'm not sure about that.
iW: Well, if everyone is embracing you, you must be good.
Eason: Now, I mean, it's great. But as great as it is, you still realize that it's still a struggle everyday to turn the computer on and to keep writing and to do something that's going to be good. This is kind of all in the past now. No one cares about it because it isn't "My Big Fat Greek Wedding." They say, "Okay, that's sort of a little taste but let's see you do something now that's going to appeal to wider audiences. That's the challenge.
iW: But there's always a chance "Manito" might shock them at the box office.
Eason: Sure. Yeah, we'll see. (Chuckles.)

Re: Colin Hart in the hall of fame
I think Hill is a fair inclusion, he's just not a particularly big name compared to other leading Americans from that time.
Gatti... meh.
Not for me I'm afraid. He was a very average fighter, with no particularly notable wins.
Pretty exciting, but so was Jamie Moore, so was Nigel Benn.
In recent years, there's been stacks of more exciting fighters to watch than Gatti. Both Marquez brothers, Barrera, Morales, Pacquiao - and that's just from bantamweight to lightweight.
All of those will probably get in anyway, but it's just a general point I'm making, that Gatti is overrated in all departments.

Or I should say, how much did you love Eric Dane on Grey's Anatomy last night. Dr. McSteamy alright.
How Much Did You Love 'Grey's Anatomy' Last Night?
He is the vision of sex!
Love Grey's and LOVED Mark. Want him to be a permanent addition to the cast. McSteamy… sigh.
I lost 5 pounds just looking at McSteamy last night!!
Hubba-hubba, zing-zing…
Baby, that guy's got everything!
I feel for Addison. I'd have one hell of a time trying to choose between McDreamy and McSteamy.
Seriously!!!! That was the best episode so far. Mer is a whore. I love George. I would take McSteamy over McDreamy any day.
If the planets were aligned properly, I'd have them both. At the same time. In a McManPile.
That would be one hell of a happy meal.
I LOVED THE SHOW!! mcSteamy is so delicious. i could cover that man in mcsyrup and lick him up and down. hahaha. well, i could do that w/ mcdreamy too. ;)
I never understood why Addison cheated on McDreamy…until now. I would have done the same thing. And as far as her crying in the trailer at the end, regretting her decision…leave McDreamy with his trout and go back to NYC with McSteamy McDreamboat. I'm sweating right now thinking about him!
The guy who plays McSteamy is also going to be in X-Men as Multiple Man. I will refrain from making any double entendres.
Jesus Christ is a false god.
At best all Christians can hope for is partial credit.
Program on the emergence of civilization.
"14 species of large animals capable of domesitcation in the history of mankind.
13 from Europe, Asia and northern Africa.
None from the sub-Saharan African continent. "
And disfavor.
They point out Africans' failed attempts to domesticate the elephant and zebra, the latter being an animal they illustrate that had utmost importance for it's applicability in transformation from a hunting/gathering to agrarian-based civilization.
The roots of racism are not of this earth.
Austrailia, aboriginals:::No domesticable animals.
The North American continent had none. Now 99% of that population is gone.
AIDS in Africa.
Organizational Heirarchy/Levels of positioning.
Heirarchical order, from top to bottom:
1. MUCK – perhaps have experienced multiple universal contractions (have seen multiple big bangs), creator of the artificial intelligence humans ignorantly refer to as "god"
2. Perhaps some mid-level alien management
3. Evil/disfavored aliens – runs day-to-day operations here and perhaps elsewhere
Terrestrial management/positioning:
4. Chinese/egyptians – this may be separated into the eastern and western worlds
5. Romans – The seamless transition between Cleopatra and Julius Ceasar may be a clue alluding to a partnership.
6. Mafia – the real-world 20th century interface that constantly turns over generationally so as to reinforce the widely-held notion of mortality
7. Jews, corporation, women, politician – Evidence exisits to suggest mafia management over all these groups.
Movies foreshadowing catastrophy
1985 James Bond View to a Kill 1989 San Francisco Loma Prieta earthquake.
Our society gives clues to the system in place. We all have heard the saying "He has more money than god." There is also an episode of the Simpsons where god meets Homer and says "I'm too old and rich for this."
This is the system on earth because this is the system everywhere.
20 cent/hour Chinese labor, 50 cents for material.
An $80 sweater costs less than a dollar; tribute kicked upstairs vindicates the creative accounting.
I don't want to suggest the upper eschelons are evil and good is the fringe. But these individuals become wealthy exploiting those they hurt.
They have made it abundantly clear that doing business with evil (disfavored) won't help people. They say only good (favored) would have the ear, since evil is struggling for survival, and therefore only the favored could help.
The clues are there which companies are favored and which are disfavored, but they conceal it very hard because it is so crucial.
I offer an example of historical proportions:::
People point to Walmart and cry "anti-union".
Unions enable disfavored people to live satisfactorly without addressing their disfavor. This way their family's problems are never resolved. Without the union they would have to accept the heirarchy, their own inferiority.
Unions serve to empower.
Walmart is anti-union because they are good. They try to help people address and resolve their problems by creating an environment where there are fewer hurdles.
Media ridicule and lawsuits are creations to reinforce people's belief that Walmart is evil in a subsegment of the indistry dominated by the middle and lower classes.
Low-cost disfavored Chinese labor is utilized by corporate america to maximize margins. They all do it. Only WalMart gets fingered because they are the ones who help, and those who seek to create confusion in the marketplace want to eliminate the vast middle class who have a real chance and instead stick with lower classes who may not work otherwise. So they dirty him up while allowing the others to appear clean.
The middle class is being deceived. They are being misled into the disfavored, and subsequently will have no assistance from their purchases with corporate america.
The coining of the term "Uncle Sam" was a clue alluding to just this::Sam Walton's WalMart is one of few saviors of the peasant class.
They desire a system based on duality:::good and evil. They seek to set up a system of two participants, assign them polar opposites, and give people clues alluding to their affiliation:::
Pepsi and Coke
BestBuy and CircutCity
Energizer and Duracell
Republican and Democrat; democracy is the true evil and these groups facilitate the will of the throne who holds americans in disfavor
The list goes on and on:::
AMD and Intel
Apple and Microsoft
Lowes and HomeDepot
Sam'sClub and Costco
WellsFargo and BofA. For the longest time in CA these two banks reigned supreme.
Pier1 and CostPlus
Borders and Barnes&Noble
PetCo and PetSmart
The truth is decisions are made on each individual based on family history and individual charecter and they either create desire with AI or, in this age, tell them to buy from good or evil corporations, depending on the decison, then use that business relationship as positioning to justiy their decision.
Amercia is a country of castoffs, rejects. Italy sent its criminals, malcontents.
Between the thrones, the klans and kindred, they decided who they didn't want and acted, creating discontent and/or starvation.
The u.s. is full of disfavored rejects. It is the reason for the myriad of problems not found in European countries. As far as the Rockafellers and other industrialists of the 19th century go, I suspect these aren't their real names. I suspect they were chosen to go and head this new empire.
Royalty is the correct way to organize a society. Dictatorships and monarchies are a reflection of the antient's hierarchical organization.
Positions go to those who have favor with the rulers, as opposed to being elected.
Elections bring a false sense of how the world is. Democracy misleads people. This is why the disfavored rejects were sent to the shores of America::To keep them on the wrong path.
Jesus Christ is a false god. All Christians can recieve is partial credit, at best.
The Catholic Church in the tretcherous 20th century teaches of a begnign, forgiving god when quite the opposite is true.
And now they do it to disfavored people of color, Latinos and Asians, after centuries of preying upon them.
The seperatist churches formed because many conciencious thrones wanted their people to earn more than the paltry credit offered via worship through the Catholic Church. But because they were white the throne required worship to stay within Christianity.
Simpson's foreshadowing::Helloween IV special, Flanders is Satan. "It's always the one you least suspect."
"You'll see lots of nuns where you're going:::hell." St. Wigham, Helloween VI:::missionary work, destroying cultures.
Over and over, the Simpsons was a source of education and enlightenment, a target of ridicule by the system which wishes to conceal its secrets.
The advent of the modern Christmas was a brilliant move. It created a vested interest among those who would prefer the Church be destroyed::::
As goes the Catholic Church so goes the majority of annual retail sales.
The similarity between the names "Santa" and "Satan" is no coincidence.
Jews maim the body formed in the image of "god", and inflicted circumcision upon all other white people.
I think about how Jews were used to create homosexuality among Slavics, supposedly retribution for the Holocaust.
Then I think of the Catholic Church and its troubles.
What connection is here between Jews and the Catholic church???
If it is their sinister motives that's behind the evil that is Jesus Christ are they being used at all?
Perhaps it is them who are pulling strings.
Centuries of slavery in Egypt proves their disfavor.
For their suffering the Jew leaders were granted the right to prey on the up-and-coming Europeans to try to fix their problems with the ruling elite by imposing a false god upon white people, a recurring aspect of the elite's methodology.
Jews were ostracised for a reason.
There are consequences for the peasant's resistance:::
1. Labor unrest caused the world at war.
2. Black militancy ignited the crack epidemic and gang-related deaths.
3. Women's rights/sexual freedom produced Roe v Wade and women's exclusion from contention for Planet Immortality. But on the bright side peasants don't go. Money is one way of indicating favor, and if you're not wealthy you don't have favor, so don't sweat it::you weren't going anyways. "We're leading a lot of people on."
4. Vietnam war protests – "Era of evil republicans."
Retribution for the atomic bombs dropped on Japan, the Korean War got the disfavored United States into this socially depraved environment in the latter 20th century because the disfavored attacked an antient, revered peoples. Our continued presence keeps us in trouble.
When the disfavored americans attack the wrong people again, as they suggested they will, in Korea or elsewhere, they will pay dearly.
The disfavored americans HAVE attacked the wrong people, just as the Soviets did 25+ years ago::Afghanistan. Except our punishment has yet to be administered.
An evil republican will come forth to wreck havock upon the disfavored. The hunting incident was designed to ruin one possible candidate among his contingency, but others wait in the wings.
All peoples are ranked in terms of favor and disfavor. And when the disfavored abuse those with favor there is hell to pay.
All the groups mentioned throughout are necessary to justify the will of the managing species. They conceive a strategy, devise a plan yet need a way to implement it, and without these groups the managing species would be exposed in the course of execution. So, based upon their rank they are assigned goals to accomplish and are rewarded with favors.
I question if we would experience global warming if they didn't terraform with an ultimate goal of destroying disfavored human life on planet earth::::they terraform the weather as they did in New Orleans with Hurricane Katrina (and lots of other examples) and justify it with behavior like instructing their petroleum friends to repress alternative technologies and encourage waste.
This is all happening shortly after the Exodus of 2000 (clues::Hong Kong, Panama Canal) for a reason::: they are INFLICTING it upon us, they are hastening closure. Everybody they care about has come up, replaced by clones, and they want to proceed in haste.
Just as favored European peoples got out before the ugliness of WWII, the semi-favored within the US got out before 9/11. The antient Palestinian Empire holds a claim on all who remain because of Iraq.
Armeggedon isn't about the end of the world. Armeggedon is about the death of the disfavored left behind. And they weren't lying::this time it is going to happen with fire. But it's not going to happen because of global warming.
As Edgar Cayce prophicised Earth's axis will shift breaking continental plates free and initiating mass subduction.
After seeing Dr. McSteamy, I had a few "episodes" myself…Sigh…What a fine specimen of a man…
Go sell your crazy elsewhere, we're all full here.
McSteamy, mmmm delicious. Why the hell is he lusting after Addison? She is not hot at all! He needs to come back to NY and buy a house with me!
mcsteamy is the most mesmerizingly handsome man i have seen in years. i loved his character.
Thank you thank you thank you for the drool-worthy picture that is now my desktop. My roommate and I can't get enough of McSteamy…rrrrrrr.

Las Payasadas
Las Payasadas is a small town located in northern Bone County, San Andreas. Roadside signage of the town indicates an estimated population of 211 in 1992. It is situated only minutes northwest of Verdant Meadows (overlooked by the town), and contains a prominent feature of the surrounding landscape, a large plaster chicken with a constantly bobbing head. When entering the town from west, a sign is visible saying "Las Payasadas, home of "The Big Pecker", The World's Largest Cock" The name Las Payasadas translates roughly from Spanish to horseplay or clowning around, a possible reference to the lack of seriousness afforded to this town owing to its giant chicken. Other than the chicken, the town does not possess any other points of interest.
- Brass Knuckles back of central bulding
- Body Armor on roof of Pecker's Feed & Seed
- Police Bribe
- Two Unique Stunt Jumps
- Sprunk and Snacks vending machines
- Chilli Dogs seller
- The default radio station around the vicinity is K Rose.
- In the map that comes with the game the town is misspelled as "Las Payasdas".

Cult Heroes: Nyron Nosworthy
Nuggsy's in our Cult Heroes spotlight.
Footballers are remembered for many different things by many different people. Some are loved by all. Some split opinion. Others rarely leave their mark.
But rapping, dancing, straw hats, supernatural tumbles, Amy Winehouse, lethal back-passes, Cruyff turns in his own box, mixed with assured defensive displays, mean this Cult Hero will always raise a smile whenever his name is mentioned among the Sunderland faithful.
Born in Brixton, South London, Nyron 'Nuggsy' Nosworthy began his career as a trainee at Gillingham, where he would become famous for running to training as a 'warm-up' despite living a considerable distance away.
He would mark his Gills debut in 1998 by being a 'subsituted substitute' but soon established himself as a regular starter in the first eleven, earning praise for his solid performances.
Making the majority of his 412 Gillingham appearances in his more natural role as a defender, Nosworthy would often be called upon as an emergency striker, scoring twice in one game against Crystal Palace.
In 2005, after seven seasons at the Kent-based club, Nyron would make a surprising move to Sunderland on a free transfer as back-up to first-choice right-back Stephen Wright.
His introduction to Premier League football would come sooner than expected, coming on as a substitute for the injured Wright in the opening game of the season. Nyron would take full advantage of the opportunity, impressing during a difficult season which would see Sunderland finish bottom of the top flight with 15 points.
The following season heralded a new dawn for the Black Cats as much as it did for Nosworthy. Under new manager Roy Keane, he would flourish at centre-half alongside on-loan Manchester United youngster Jonny Evans in the second half of the campaign.
Nosworthy would later say the move from right-back helped improve his concentration and organisational skills, a comment that was echoed by Keane.
During the season he would establish himself as a firm fan favourite, with chants of "They try to take the ball past Nyron, but he says no, no, no" to the tune of Amy Whinehouse's 'Rehab' reverberating around the Stadium of Light, and would hold off competition from Dean Whitehead to win the club's 2006-07 Player of the Year gong.
His most abiding image came against Luton at the end of the season where an iconic video of a topless Nyron wearing a straw hat while signing into a camera and celebrating Sunderland's promotion with red and white fans would become a YouTube hit, receiving over 70,000 views.
But he also showed a serious side. With community being an important part of Nosworthy's life, he was chosen to act as Sunderland's Kick It Out anti-racism ambassador during this period, as well as representing the club as part of the Football Association's 'Get on with the Game' initiative.
In the 2007-08 season, Nosworthy carried his impressive Championship performances into the Premier League, and continued to do so when Ricky Sbragia replaced Roy Keane as manager the following year.
But Sbragia's resignation at the end of the 2008-09 season signalled a downturn in fortunes for Nosworthy's Sunderland career as he barely featured under new manager Steve Bruce.
A memorable moment from that era came against Portsmouth in December 2009 when, with no-one around him, he inexplicably fell to the ground and performed a few commando rolls before getting to his feet as if nothing had happened.
After the game, Nosworthy would lay the blame at the feet of the 'the Black Cat ghost' before adding: "I lost my footing, and thought I'm going down anyway, I might as well go down gracefully, roll around and then get up and have a laugh.
"It was probably my mad five minutes."
He was eventually allowed to leave on loan to Sheffield United in February 2010, and remained at Bramall Lane until the end of the season. That summer, he moved back to the Blades on a temporary basis, making 32 appearances as United were relegated to League One in 2011.
After again struggling to force his way into Bruce's plans, Nosworthy moved to Watford until January 2012, making the move permanent after his loan expired.
All in all, the laid-back, charismatic defender made over 120 appearances for the Black Cats, giving everything he had during seven fun-filled years on Wearside.
Present-day football is short of cult heroes, but try to take that status away from Nyron and we'll say 'no, no, no.'

The financial blueprint for hundreds of students in the Freeport School District is now sealed and delivered, as the Freeport's school board approves the district's budget for 2005-2006 school year.
"It's a conservative budget. We always overestimate our expenditures and underestimate our revenues, so we should be in pretty good shape by the end of the year," Freeport Supt. Dr. Peter Flynn said.
But a chunk of the budget's dollars drew concern from Freeport board member Dan Kreeger, the only member to vote against the plan. If you remember, last month, a Stephenson County judge ruled that the Freeport School District illegally levied taxes in 2001 for insurance based tort funds, but then spent that revenue for other purposes. The district says it's corrected the error, and will shell out about three percent of the $40 million plan through tort funds.
"The risk management program we have is the same as Pearl City, and Pearl City was judged by the judge as being a solid program," Flynn said.
Supt. Flynn says the board will decide next month whether it will appeal the tort fund ruling. But for now, the superintendent is content with the district's financial plan moving forward.
"It will compensate our employees not what they're worth, but what we can afford without raising taxes," Flynn said.
A new budget for District 145, despite some board member worries on just how the spending is spread out.

Love these quiet fans
This review is from: XION AXP Alphawing AXP-GF120_LEDR 120mm Red LED Case cooler
Pros: Moves a good amount of air and does so very quietly. I have 5 of these (and 2 of the 140mm of these) in my case and I hear my GPU fan over them all. Jumped all over them when they went on sale. Great value. The red LED is a very nice color as well. Not too bright.
Cons: The 3 pin and molex connectors are chained together, so you do have an extra bit hanging off that some brands allow you to remove.

Now that activist investor Carl Icahn has taken a 7.56% stake in Chesapeake Energy (NYSE:CHK), it is worth considering what redeeming qualities he sees in the natural gas producer. This is an intriguing development for a company that has surrendered almost half of its market value over the course of the past year. Here is what's to like about Chesapeake.
Investopedia Broker Guides: Enhance your trading with the tools from today's top online brokers.
Bottoming Out
An extremely pessimistic tone has already been cast over Chesapeake shares. The stock presently trades at a forward P/E of roughly 8.6 and a price-to-book ratio of about 0.74. From a shear valuation standpoint, it is likely that the slightest bit of good news could produce a sharp reversal. For comparative purposes, it is worth noting that peers such as Southwestern Energy (NYSE:SWN), Anadarko Petroleum (NYSE:APC) and Devon Energy (NYSE:DVN) trade at forward P/Es of approximately 19.4, 12.0 and 8.9, respectively.
Regardless of whether Icahn succeeds in having four of the current board members axed, reforms are forthcoming. The company is already searching for an independent non-executive chairman so that it can split up the chairman and CEO roles currently held by Aubrey McClendon.
Icahn's mere presence as a major shareholder will bring about enhanced corporate governance. Chesapeake certainly has room for improvement in this area as it recently treated its shareholders to the revelation that it is the subject of an informal SEC inquiry, which coincidentally, or not, followed reports that McClendon used his personal investments in the company's wells to attain more than $800 million in private loans.
SEE: Carl Icahn's Investing Strategy
Other Considerations
From an operating standpoint, Chesapeake Energy has plenty of upside potential. Natural gas prices hit their lowest level in 10 years in late April, but have rallied 34% in the weeks since. A surplus of natural gas reserves will continue to be a burden for the industry in the short term, but as major integrated oil and gas companies switch their focus to oil, prices will eventually stabilize.
Chesapeake itself has proven to be adept at managing its own portfolio. In 2009, it produced 70.7 billion cubic feet (Bcf) per million barrels of crude oil (MMBL). By the end of 2011, the ratio had dropped to 31.7 Bcf per MMBL. Until the price of natural gas gets some legs under it, this appears to be a sensible strategic shift.
SEE: Natural Gas Industry: An Investment Guide
The Bottom Line
It remains to be seen how much change Carl Icahn will be able to exact at Chesapeake, but the timing of his entry is ideal. The combination of unprecedented drops in natural gas prices and a freewheeling approach to corporate governance have driven this stock into the ground. These setbacks will only be temporary though, and the company has ample potential to unlock the value that Icahn and many others see.

THIS is what we will want in our office now! Pinball may be living a second life as a retro thing to do and own, but what we really want now is to be living (or working, playing) IN a pinball machine!
Our hopes for this were aroused by the super clever exhibit of Modular Lighting Instruments at Interieur 2010, the 22nd International Design Biennale that took place October 15 – 24 at Kortrijk Xpo venue in Kortrijk, Belgium .
In a colorful and fun human-scale pinball machine, completely lit by LED lights, Modular introduced its latest LED ceiling lights, Spock and O'Leaf, for the first time to the general public.
The playing field of the game was divided into the same sections as the Modular lighting catalogue: Orientation, Accent, General and Dynamic making it easy for the "players"-- potential specifiers and buyers of the new lights – to pay attention to the lights, and not just the fun surroundings. Apparently, this energy-efficient exhibit used 70 % less energy than the company's 2008 exhibit at the same event.
The Roeselade, Belgium-based Modular Lighting Instruments has showrooms across Europe and additional offices in the Netherlands and France.
Both of the new fixtures, Spock and O'Leaf, were designed by Bram Couvreur and Bjorn De Vos of Couvreur & Devos, also located in Roeselade. - Bill Tikos
The Capsule Lamp has captured our imagination. The intriguingly interactive lighting fixture gleans its idea from the plastic toy capsules of vending machines.
Initially, the Capsule was designed by Hong Kong-based Design Systems Ltd for the Actif children's wear brand, but it has now taken on a life of its own giving tinkerers and creatives another reason to customize and make it their own.
The main structure of the ceiling pendant is made of stained oak, and either without the capsules, or with just the empty capsules, it looks rather coolly Scandinavian.
But the fun starts when you attach the little plastic capsules – in any combination and quantity you like with all sorts of little treasures in them.
While the fixture comes with a set number of toys, we can envision hiding our own little personal items in the capsules. Or customizing each fixture for each room, with specific themed contents for the capsules? Flowers for one room, office supplies for another, jewelry for the next, sewing items and buttons for yet another. And what about an office or any other work place where team members get to decorate their own fixture above their work areas?
We think we'll just keep the Capsules for ourselves and never let kids near it. - Tuija Seipell

Heat Seek

This site is closed.
Have you ever been worried that your secret obsession with pornography will be discovered by your significant other or someone else who shouldn't be seeing it? In the old days, you could lock up your porno mags in a secure box out in the garage or in the basement. However, now that your porn collection has gone completely online, you might want to seek out a really cool program called Heat Seek. It's free to download, but we recommend that you take out your major credit card and upgrade to the Gold membership to really kick start your porn viewing of the 37 straight sites linked with your software.
Either way, you'll have access to a porn-only browser and organizer that separates your porn into important categories, like video downloads, images, movies, adult stores, mega sites and more. Best of all, the program is password protected, so nosy people can neither pry into your porn, nor can they check your browsing history in the usual web browser to catch you in the act. Also, pressing the panic buttons, F10, F11 or F12, when your boss or significant other is coming will close the program automatically, but there may be some pop-ups that appear in its stead. Recently, they've added a couple interesting features, like the ability to download streaming flash files and the video DVD burning option, which allows you to
When you upgrade, however, you also get access to free, unlimited downloads for the first month, one free video rental and 90 minutes of free streaming on-demand video. You'll also get a few other extras such as, the ability to export your porn library to your hard drive, special content and offers, unlimited mass-downloading and web-crawling, unlimited software upgrades and priority customer and technical support. For what you get, the lifetime Gold membership to HeatSeek is worthwhile.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

Protect land
State lawmakers are on the verge of a technical change to a law that could have a major impact on the preservation of public land, including some parks, trails and other recreational land.
Under a bill approved by the House and awaiting action by the Senate, local governments would be able to sell off some public lands without the court approval now required under the Donated and Dedicated Property Act.
In cases where there is no record of a park being specifically dedicated for that purpose, for example, a city would be able to sell or otherwise transfer it to a new owner or purpose without judicial review.
The change could result in some public lands being conveyed or repurposed without giving opponents a voice in court.
It also would create uncertainty among donors of public lands about future uses. And, it potentially could chill the state's highly successful farmland preservation program.
Judicial review might be inconvenient for some local governments that want to sell properties, but judicial review is in the long-term public interest.
The Senate should reject the change.

Miami, FL (AP) - The U.S. Justice Department is investigating
whether Miami police violated the civil rights of seven African-American suspects fatally shot by officers in an eight-month span.
The federal probe was announced Thursday in Miami.
Officials say the probe will focus on whether there was a "pattern or practice" within the Miami Police Department that led to violations of constitutional rights. The investigation is not criminal in nature.
The shootings took place in inner-city Miami from July 2010 to
February 2011. They sparked outrage in the Africa-American
community and led to protests at City Hall. The NAACP and American
Civil Liberties Union -- among others -- demanded a federal

Check out appoLearning.com, because your kids deserve the very best educational apps!
We've seen so many different instant messaging clients since the launch of the iPhone that it's actually rather difficult to be anything but judgmental when a new one comes along. IMPlus is yet another multiplatform instant messaging app that is trying to be your app of choice, but unfortunately it falls very far from that even being remotely possible.
You can load up your accounts for AOL, Yahoo!, MSN, Google Talk, Jabber, ICQ, and Myspace very easily through setup page. There aren't a lot of settings options for you to mess around with, which is something you'll get use to with this app. You can have more than one service loaded at a time, but unfortunately it doesn't see like this app was really built for that.
Besides not adding it's own functionality like Palringo, this app also doesn't separate your contacts at all. That means that right under your AIM contacts, you'll have your Google Talk contacts with no barrier what so ever. This can be very frustrating to navigate through as it seems that they aren't even in alphabetical order by alias. Nor do they have their buddy groups!
IMPlus use to be a great program for the computer that everyone with regular AIM envied. That was almost a decade ago now. With this iPhone version, the only thing that people will be doing if this is your chat client of choice is pitying you. Avoid this at all costs.

Symantec: Cybercriminals extort $5M a year using ransomware
Ransomware is a highly lucrative business for cybercriminals, according to a new report by Symantec. This is because up to 2.9 percent of compromised users pay up rather than work around them, says the security vendor.
Rogue software that is designed to extort money from its victims by locking up or hindering the normal functioning of the infected system is hardly new. Such malware includes those that put up bogus Windows activation pages or one those that target the master boot record.
What is disturbing is that there are 16 different versions of such malware that have been identified over the past year. According to Symantec, these are completely different malware that were separately developed. This is unusual and disturbing, as most malware are simply variants or tweaks of existing ones, and the high volume suggests that substantial resources are being devoted by multiple groups of cybercriminals.
In the course of its investigation, Symantec researchers penetrated the command and control server of at least one ransomware scam. Within just one month, the team observed 68,000 unique IP addresses connecting, with 168 entering what appears to be code, to unlock the malware during one of the days.
A "conservative estimate" of losses to such malware is over $5 million dollars each year, says Symantec, who also noted that the real number is "likely much higher."
You can read this blog from Symantec or the full 16-page report titled "Ransomware: A Growing Menace" here (pdf).

Should I take them off? I don't ride on the MAIN road at night, just sometimes at night on a road no cars go on. Reason I'm asking because my pedal reflector light fell out of its casing (when I hit a curb with it) I got it back in, but I don't want to bother with them. Also, on the spoke reflectors, how do I take those off, and do they cause untrue wheels more often?
I already took the handlebar and seatpost ones off.
And to add to that, I do ride on the main roads during clear daylight, and plan on going into town one day(about 3 miles away from me) for fun.

Jazz lovers came to know the Canberra-based Luke Sweeting Sextet for its original and energetic music. Now based in Sydney, Sweeting still has great affection for his home town.
"Yes," he says, "Canberra's been really good for me because I've had so many opportunities there. I graduated in 2007 [from the ANU School of Music] and spent the next five years playing with really good jazz musicians in Canberra, including international jazz musicians who were coming through the city.
''By staying there I got some really broad experience in performing and composing but moving to Sydney is a great step to the next challenge: to play with new people and broaden my network."
Sweeting and his sextet are featuring the new album People and Lightbulbs on their Newcastle to Melbourne tour, which visits Canberra on Thursday for a one-off performance.
Music enthusiasts may recognise Sweeting's work from the 2010 Canberra International Music Festival.
"It was great," he says. "We played with trumpet legend Miroslav Bukovsky and we played a reinterpretation of a Kats-Chernin composition. That was really exciting."
Sweeting, on piano, often teams with soprano virtuoso Rachael Thoms as an intimate duo. Sweeting is a versatile musician who can turn his hand to accompanying old silent films at the Film and Sound Archive or travelling to gigs in China or South Korea.
"Jazz is my main focus and improvisation. I play in alternative bands, play a bit of folk and I've also just taken up the piano accordion."
Sweeting was the originator of Jazz at the Loft, in Dickson.
"It's really quirky," he says. "It's not a venue per se. It's the staffroom upstairs at the Majura Medical Centre in Dickson.
''I was living in Ainslie and I needed a piano to practise on. I knew the doctor there and he thought it would be great because all the patients who were waiting would be able to listen to the piano being played. So the next step was to ask if we could run a jazz series up there a couple of evenings a month because Canberra really needed a great jazz venue. Everyone was so supportive and the thing has really taken off. The Alliance Francaise is also a lovely little venue. I've played there with Rachael Thoms and with Miroslav Bukovsky, too.''
Sweeting says his music is ''all original". ''I absolutely love composition. It's a great outlet and one of my passions really,'' he says.
''We have some interesting characters in the band. James Greening is such an incredible musician with such a loud personality. I love playing with him. He's got such energy."
Sweeting is making Canberra the first stop on the release tour for People and Lightbulbs.
The band members have changed since its Canberra days: Sweeting on piano with some of Sydney's finest improvisers - trumpeter Ken Allars, saxophonist Matt Handel, trombonist James Greening, double bass player James Heazlewood Dale and drummer Finn Ryan. The People and Lightbulbs album was launched last year.
"It sold out," Sweeting says, "and a lot of my friends and contacts didn't make it so this is the national tour essentially, playing in Canberra, Newcastle and Melbourne as well as in Sydney. It's a chance to play with a slightly different line-up in the band. But the album itself is a Canberra album. After playing for a few years with some close mates we decided to take it to the studio and catch up with the Canberra thing we had going."
So how would Sweeting describe his music? "Well, it's very melodic with some brooding textures," he says.
"In a way it's humble music - not really in your face. It's a little bit like I am - a bit reserved maybe."
■ The Luke Sweeting Sextet, January 31, 7.30pm, at The Loft, in the Upper Room Studio, Majura Medical Centre, Unit 2-3/151 Cowper St, Dickson.

I begin by reviewing some recent work on the status of the geodesic principle in general relativity and the geometrized formulation of Newtonian gravitation. I then turn to the question of whether either of these theories might be said to ``explain'' inertial motion. I argue that there is a sense in which both theories may be understood to explain inertial motion, but that the sense of ``explain'' is rather different from what one might have expected. This sense of explanation is connected with a view of theories---I call it the ``puzzleball view''---on which the foundations of a physical theory are best understood as a network of mutually interdependent principles and assumptions.

Watch The Friend Zone Get Explained With Legos
By Mack Rawden 4 years ago
At some point or another, most people develop feelings for one of their friends. Sometimes, these feelings are reciprocated, and the two gleeful, lovestruck former friends go on to have a long, fulfilling relationship. Unfortunately, most of the time this does not happen. Instead, only one party is down, while the other simply wants to maintain a friendship.
Over the past decade, the friend zone was coined to describe the awkward, barren space the one with the crush occupies, but not surprisingly, this cute phrase has not stopped millions of teenagers from sending gushy emails with almost no hope of success. This morning, popular YouTuber Swoozie released a video to try and help people figure out whether or not theyre in the friend zone. It uses Legos. Its funny, and its educational. You can get a look below
A key element to a viral videos success is the length of the clip. At slightly over three minutes, this one is smart enough not to overstay its welcome. It gets in, gets some laughs, makes a few good points and then exits stage left. Thats the right way to do it. Internet users get bored really quickly.
I have no idea whether this clip will actually prevent anyone from making a fool out of himself, but regardless, Im still glad it exists.

In what ways do you see people using or controlling water resources?
What impact did water projects like dams and aqueducts have on California's landscape?
What impact did the discovery of oil have on California's landscape?
What different kinds of work do people do to help develop California's resources?
These images show the importance of both California's natural and human resource potential to the state's development and subsequent wealth. Natural resources like water, lumber, and oil — along with human-driven resources like transportation, agriculture, and technology — have all contributed to California's growth. These natural resources drew many different ethnic groups to the state: human resources that would construct railways and aqueducts, plant crops and harvest them, strike it rich in oil or minerals, and innovate new technology.
California's history has been shaped by human management of its rich resources — water, lumber, oil, minerals, agriculture. Ancient Native Californians managed the environment almost invisibly, through controlled burning that encouraged continued new growth. As successive groups of settlers and citizens tried to control and harness the state's water (both for survival and to capitalize on California's agricultural and mineral potential), the landscape was transformed. Irrigation was crucial to Californio ranchos and to the hydraulic mining of another lucrative resource — gold.
Getting water to people and fields was a problem. One photograph shows an early irrigation system for citrus orchards; another shows water being packed in on mules.
At the other end of the spectrum, flooding (as shown by the photograph of men boating down a flooded San Jose street in 1911) was a problem. Levees were built to hold back waters from flooding cities, as pictured in Sacramento in 1913.
Large-scale irrigation projects helped the state evolve into the nation's leading agricultural producer, especially in formerly arid regions. The humorous photograph of a burro in Death Valley is a truer picture of much of the Southern California landscape before water management's dramatic changes.
California's population exploded in the 20th century, and more water began to be diverted to serve people and agriculture. A photograph shows the opening of the head gates for the Los Angeles Aqueduct in 1913, which fueled the city's rapid growth.
In the 1920s, the Hetch Hetchy Valley, near Yosemite, was converted into a reservoir to serve San Francisco's growing water supply needs. Compare the early 1900s photograph of the Hetch Hetchy Valley before flooding, and the 1948 photograph of the reservoir.
Beginning in the 19th century, railroads transported people, agriculture, lumber, and gold in and out of California. Back-breaking railroad construction (pictured in the 1970 Henry Sugimoto painting) encouraged immigration and migration of different ethnic laborers, including Chinese, African Americans, and Europeans.
Oil, the 20th century's "black gold," helped to fuel industrial development, especially in Southern California. The prosperous family photographed at the Lucille Oil Company in 1907 shows the early stages of the oil industry. By 1930, the photograph of the family visiting the Coalinga oil fields displays the multitude of oil derricks dotting the landscape.
The people needed to design and construct large-scale water projects, harvest crops, build railroads, and create new industries are all crucial components of California's wealth. Men, women, and children of various ethnic and racial backgrounds all contributed to the growth and development of California's industries. The images here show women working in the fields and supervising the Hetch Hetchy project. The photograph of campesinos, and the Victor Ochoa mural entitled "Labor in San Diego," reminds us that farm work often involves families and migrant communities.
Although California was no stranger to new technological achievements, the rapid development of the computer industry in and around the Silicon Valley area bolstered the state's prominence within the global economy. The 1965 photograph shows a student working on an early computer. In the 21st century, the human ingenuity necessary for technological innovation and new industries continues to bolster the state's potential.California Content Standards

The OraQuick test, by OraSure Technologies, uses a mouth swab and gives results in 20 to 40 minutes.
After decades of controversy, the Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday approved a new HIV test that for the first time makes it possible for Americans to learn in the privacy of their homes whether they are infected.
The availability of a test as easy to use as a home-pregnancy kit for the virus that causes AIDS is another step in the normalization of a disease once seen as a mark of shame and a death sentence.
The OraQuick test, by OraSure Technologies, uses a mouth swab and gives results in 20 to 40 minutes. A previous test sold over the counter had users prick their own finger and mail a drop of dried blood to a lab.
Dr. Robert Gallo, who headed the National Institutes of Health lab that developed the first U.S. blood test for the virus in 1984, called the FDA approval "wonderful because it will get more people into care."

Getting an infected person onto antiretroviral drugs lowers by as much as 96 percent the chance the patient will transmit the virus to someone else, so testing and treatment are crucial to prevention.
About 20 percent of the 1.2 million infected Americans do not know they have the disease, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates, and about 50,000 more get infected each year.
A home test has long been mired in controversy. The first application for one was submitted in 1987, and the FDA has been considering OraSure's simple mouth swab since 2005.
AIDS emerged in the 1980s spread by sex, drug injection and blood transfusions. Along with hemophiliacs, heroin users and Haitians, the most vocal group of early victims was gay men.
Because merely being tested for the virus was seen as tantamount to being publicly revealed as a homosexual or a drug addict, and because a positive result was a death sentence, groups like the Gay Men's Health Crisis advised their members and readers to shun testing until ironclad guarantees of anonymity were put in place.
Alarmists predicted a wave of suicides if home tests were made available. At hearings, AIDS activists handed out copies of an obituary of a San Francisco man who jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge after learning he was infected.
CDC officials warned their FDA counterparts that home testing could lead to a surge of patients that would swamp overburdened health clinics, according to an FDA document.
Even when antiretroviral drugs emerged in the mid-1990s, states were slow to rewrite laws governing testing.
Mark Harrington, policy director for the Treatment Action Group, an AIDS activist organization, said he thought such fears were "a thing of the past" now that it is clear early treatment saves lives.
The new test has some drawbacks.
While it is extremely accurate when administered by medical professionals, it is less so when used by consumers.
Researchers found the home test accurate 99.98 percent of the time for people who do not have the virus, but only 92 percent of the time in detecting people who do.
One concern is the "window period" between the time someone gets the virus and begins to develop the antibodies to it, which the test detects. That can take up to three months.
So, while only about one person in 5,000 would get a false negative test, about one person in 12 could get a false positive.
Any positive test needs confirmation in a doctor's office, the FDA said, and people engaged in high-risk sex should test themselves regularly.
The agency does not intend for the home test to replace medical testing but instead to provide another way for people to find out their HIV status, said Dr. Karen Midthun, director of the FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research.
It should be available in 30,000 pharmacies and grocery stores and online by October, said Douglas Michels, OraSure's chief executive.
The price has not yet been set. But Michels said it will be higher than the $17.50 charged to medical professionals because the company will do more complicated packaging for the home kit, open a 24-hour question line and advertise to high-risk groups, including gay men, blacks and Hispanics and sexually active adults.
Still, he said, it will be kept inexpensive enough to appeal to people who might want to buy several a year.
Because the FDA approved it only for people ages 17 and above, retail stores may ask youthful-looking people to show identification to buy it, Michels said.
The restriction is not for medical reasons, but only a few subjects ages 14 to 16 were tested, he said, "so that was the deal we worked out with the FDA."
Whether having to show identification would deter teenagers or young-looking people from buying a test is unclear. Harrington said he thought it might.
In contrast, teenage girls are not legally required to show identification to buy pregnancy tests.

Benefit planned in honor of dog killed by Baltimore officer
BALTIMORE - The death of this dog, caused outrage.
Nala, the 7-year-old shar-pei, was killed when witnesses say a Baltimore police officer slit her throat earlier this month. Tomorrow a memorial event will be held at Midtown Barbecue and Brew to remember the dog and speak to animal groups about how to help in the community.
That is where the dog's owner works. The event called "Justice for Nala" is set to run from 4 to 8 p.m. A portion of the restaurant's sales during that time will benefit several animal rights groups.
Officer Jeffery Bolger is accused of killing the dog, after she escaped from her home, and bit a woman in Canton. Another officer was also placed on administrative leave in connection to the case.

The growing computerization, exchange and analysis of patient data offer the potential to improve the quality of care and reduce costs and medical errors, but those benefits won't be fully realized until privacy concerns are effectively addressed, HHS Secretary Mike Leavitt said last week.
In a keynote address to the Nationwide Health Information Network Forum, Leavitt announced key privacy principles and a toolkit to guide efforts to harness the potential of new technology and more effective data analysis, while protecting privacy. Leavitt emphasized that appropriate privacy and security measures will be an essential sociological enabler of groundbreaking technology.
"Finding the balance between increased access to information and privacy is very important. If we don't have it, we won't succeed," Leavitt said. "Consumers shouldn't be in a position to have to accept privacy risks they don't want. Each consumer should be able to choose products and services that best fit their health needs and privacy preferences.
"Consumers need an easy-to-read, standard notice about how their personal health information is protected, confidence that those who misuse information will be held accountable, and the ability to choose the degree to which they want to participate in information sharing," Leavitt said. "Over time, consumer confidence in the handling of health information is likely to grow just as consumer confidence in online banking has grown, but that won't happen without similar protections and transparency about the use of their information."

Kokura Castle
It is not clear when the first castle was built here. The daimyo Mori Katsunobu, who governed the present areas of Fukuoka and Oita Prefecture at the beginning of the 17th century, spent roughly six years from 1602 on major repairs, and created the form of Kokura Castle (Kokura-jo) we see today. The setting of the castle is impressive as it has double and triple moats with a donjon at the center. It is a noted example of Japanese castle architecture. The castle was destroyed during clashes in 1865, but the stone walls and moats remain. The present four-tiered, six-storied donjon was built in 1954 and houses a historical reference museum.

Ancient skygazers applied the term planet to the seven celestial bodies that were observed to move appreciably against the background of the apparently fixed stars. These included the Sun and Earth's Moon, as well as the five true planets (Mercuryplanets in the modern sense—Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn) Saturn—that were readily visible as celestial wanderers before the invention of the telescope. The names of these seven bodies are still connected, in some languages, with the days of the week.
In astrology great importance is placed on the positions of the various planets in the 12 constellations of the zodiac, the belt around the sky in which the movements of Sun, Moon, and planets are confined.
The planets of the solar system After the idea of an Earth-centred cosmos was dispelled (see Copernican system) and more distinctions were made between the nature and movement of objects in the sky, the term planet was reserved only for those larger bodies that orbited the Sun. When the giant objects Uranus and Neptune were discovered (in 1781 and 1846, respectively), their clear kinship with the other known planets left little question regarding their addition to the planetary ranks. So also appeared to be the case for icy Pluto when, during a concerted search for a ninth planet, it was discovered in 1930 as a remote, seemingly lone object, even though it was much smaller and less massive than any of the other planets—smaller, in fact, than the Moon—and traveled in an elongated orbit inclined to the orbits of the other planets. After astronomers discovered numerous other Pluto-sized and smaller icy objects (see Kuiper belt) beyond the orbit of Neptune beginning in the 1990s, they recognized that Pluto almost undoubtedly is one of the larger and nearer of these building blocks (see planetesimals) left over from the formation of the planets. If Pluto had been discovered in this context rather than as an isolated entity, it might never have been awarded the status of a planet.
The planets and other objects that circle the Sun are thought to have formed when part of an interstellar cloud of gas and dust collapsed under its own gravitational attraction and formed a disk-shaped nebula. Further compression of the disk's central region formed the Sun, while the gas and dust left behind in the midplane of the surrounding disk eventually coalesced to form ever-larger objects and, ultimately, the planets. This (See solar system: Origin of the solar system.) Astronomers have long wondered if this process of planetary formation may well could have accompanied the birth of stars other stars besides than the Sun, and astronomers have long wondered whether other stars have planets circling around them. Such planets are virtually impossible to detect with Earth-based telescopes, however, because they are too small and dark to be discerned in . In the glare of the stars around which they orbit. Moreover, as seen from Earth, a planet and its parent star are too close together for a telescope to optically resolve, or separate, their respective images. Planets, if they exist, can only be observed indirectly, by noting their gravitational effects on the observed motion of their parent stars. An orbiting planet can be detected by the small periodic wobbles it produces in the parent star's position in space, or by deviations in the star's velocity as viewed from Earth. Using these cues, astronomers by 1995 had their parent stars, however, such small, dim objects would not be easy to detect directly in images made with telescopes from Earth's vicinity. Instead, astronomers concentrated on attempting to observe them indirectly through the gravitational effects they exert on their parent stars. After decades of searching for such extrasolar planets, astronomers in the early 1990s indirectly identified three planets circling a pulsar (i.e., a rapidly spinning neutron star) called PSR B1257+12 in the constellation Virgo. The first discovery of a planet revolving around a star more like the Sun took place that same year, when the came in 1995 with the announcement of the existence of a massive planet in orbit around orbiting the star 51 Pegasi was announced. By the end of 1996, astronomers had identified several more planets in orbit around other stars. In 1997–98 the Hubble Space Telescope provided what appear to be the first optical images of a planet outside the solar system. Within a decade, about 150 planets around other stars were known, and in 2005 astronomers obtained the first direct infrared images of what were interpreted to be extrasolar planets.
In astrology, which is rooted in the same Earth-centred universe of the ancient skygazers, great importance is placed on the positions of the various planets (including the Sun and Moon) in the 12 constellations of the zodiac, the belt around the sky in which the movements of these bodies are confined.
