POPSNASAfinds significant water on moon
Although the goal of the $79 million mission was to determine whether there is water on the moon, discoveries in other areas are expected as studies progress, Colaprete and other scientists said at the briefing at NASA's Ames Research Center at Moffett Field near San Francisco, California. "The discovery opens a new chapter in our understanding of the moon," the space agency said in a written statement shortly after the briefing began. Michael Wargo, chief lunar scientist at NASA headquarters in Washington, said the latest discovery also could unlock the mysteries of the solar system. He listed several options as sources for the water, including solar winds, comets, giant molecular clouds or even the moon itself through some kind of internal activity. The Earth also may have a role, Wargo said. "If the water that was formed or deposited is billions of years old, these polar cold traps could hold a key to the history and evolution of the solar system, much as an ice core sa

POPSU.S.Treasury's Kashkari to Lead Bank Bailout Office (Update1) ``We need to think through what's the best for securities, for loans, to help strengthen the balance sheet of the institutions.'' Anthony Ryan, the Treasury's acting undersecretary for domestic finance, said in an interview today on CNBC. ``We are focusing on the broader issues, the mortgage- related assets.'' Senate confirmation is required to fill the position for which Kashkari will be nominated. The Treasury hasn't specified the length of Kashkari's tenure, or whether the White House would nominate him officially. The Bush administration remains in office until January.

POPSSCOTUS Rules Gitmo Prisoners Have Habeas Rights “Some of these petitioners have been in custody for the past six years with no definitive judicial determination as to the legality of their detention,” Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote for the majority. “Their access to the writ is necessary to determine the lawfulness of their status, even if, in the end, they do not obtain the relief they seek.” Not surprisingly, Scalia saw things differently. "The nation will live to regret what the court has done today,” Scalia wrote. For the record, Scalia's a dick.

POPSMy cousin receives the Army Commendation Medal Army Commendation Medal He is part of the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) unit in Iraq which has "cleared out more than 250 improvised explosive devices and conducted more than 700 combat missions." From another Article: "The group of airman stationed in Baghdad -- Anthony Homerlein, David Kuric , John Wawrzynski and Scott White -- played key roles in the hunt for two kidnapped soldiers in June, "ultimately disarming several booby traps directly targeting responders attempting to recover and repatriate the remains" of the soldiers." I am definitely proud to be related to him, and hope he continues to be safe; he just re-enlisted for another 4 years.
