Over the past year I've been alerted when civilians (journalists, government officials, citizens) have been arrested and faced the possibility of torture by their captors. As soon as Amnesty International disocvers such cases, I'm alerted immediately with an email.

CNN) -- Astronomers have spotted what could be a small population of objects the size of planets, wandering through the galaxy without the gravitational fetters of parent stars.
Using the Hubble Space Telescope, the scientists detected what could be six bodies, perhaps only 80 times the mass of Earth, which would make them the smallest celestial objects ever seen outside the Robhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17187695230907064719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3035686.post-42633222001-06-27T01:25:00.000-07:002001-06-27T01:25:28.130-07:00Flash Games Get Even Cooler

It's always seemed odd to me that scientists can speculate whether life existed billions of years ago on Mars based on analyzing a meteorite. Regardless, a Swiss team of scientists made a truly remarkabled discovery. Now there are 18 known meteorites from Mars that have made it to Earth.

The Chandra X-Ray Telescope reveals another exciting discovery. Scientists in Pasadena just identified several dozen "mid-size" blackholes in nearby galaxies (from NASA.
Here's the report:
NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has found new populations of suspected mid-mass black holes in several starburst galaxies, where stars form and explode at an unusually high rate.

It would be a relief if somehow, someway Napster could survive the mp3/dot-com meltdown. A very positive article on Wired News was release today that just might resurrect the failing mp3 swapping service. Would I pay for the service? Most likely if it was within reason. Unfortunately, much of the music I like is underground, unknown label techno so we'll have to wait and see.
