POPSThe Sun and VY Canis Majoris This is the largest known star and one of the most luminous stars known.Roberta M. Humphreys (2006) estimates the radius of VY CMa is between 1800 and 2100 solar radii. If our sun were replaced with such a star, its surface could extend to the orbit of Saturn. If we take its radius to be that higher figure of 2100 solar radii, it would take more than 2 hours for light to travel around its circumference.

POPSPotential Deception and Destruction of Healthy Chocolate This is just one more example of big business colluding with the FDA to fool the buying public. With well over 55% of the FDA's budget coming from the manufacturers the FDA is supposed to be poiicing, whose side do you think the FDA is on, yours or theirs? It isn't yours! Be informed and be forewarned.

POPSTell the FDA, "Don't mess with our chocolate!" This just opens the door for all the cheaper yummy chocolate to become cheaper crappy chocolate. Unless you want to pay Godiva prices for decent chocolate, take the time to tell the FDA not to change the requirements. Go to the source for info and how to help. Deadline for public comment is April 25, 2007.
