Since I’ve become a more active poster on my blog, I figured I should also actively give props out to some of the things I’ve been reading this week. If I have a chance, I’ll keep posting link updates each week of stories, editorials and videos which shape my opinions reflected in my other posts.
Of course, all the media outlits were abuzz about the discovery of a planet orbiting a binary system. Everyone instantly jumps to the conclusion that we’ve found Tatooine, since hypothetically one could recreate the scenes from Star Wars.
Given the recent supernova eruption in M101, I figured that a nod to simulation based analysis (much akin to what I do) of neutron star explosion.
Apparently several schools are beginning to pull apple juice from their cafeterias due to a “study” conducted by Dr. Oz which revealed the juice to have abnormally high levels of arsenic. What he didn’t investigate however, was what type of arsenic is actually poisonous to humans… inorganic counts of arsenic are evaluated for potential poisonings… not total arsenic.
Politics:

I know there is a potent anti-incumbent sensation in the country currently, but you would think that people would see the current state in Washington and take that attitude to the polls with them. Both parties are hated, especially the Republican congressional leaders… but somehow they pull ahead.
Interesting:
A nice little documentary about Stephen, who has a photographic memory and the ability to draw.
Speaks for itself!
